On May 16, 2006, the Company's Board approved a form of indemnification agreement to be entered into with current and future directors and executive officers of the Company. The form of Indemnification Agreement is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as an exhibit, and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Indemnification Agreement generally provides that the Company will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless each indemnitee that is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any civil, criminal or administrative proceeding against all expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee in connection with any such proceeding.  The Indemnification Agreement provides the indemnitee with indemnification rights in connection with third-party proceedings and proceedings brought by or in the right of the Company.  In addition, the Indemnification Agreement provides for the advancement of expenses incurred by the indemnitee in connection with any covered proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.  The Indemnification Agreement also provides that if indemnification rights provided for therein are unavailable for any reason, the Company will contribute to the amount of expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid or payable by the indemnitee in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits and relative fault of the Company and the indemnitee.
The rights provided by the Indemnity Agreements are in addition to any other rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses to which the indemnitee may be entitled under applicable law, the Company's Articles of Incorporation (as restated or amended from time to time), the Company's Bylaws (as restated or amended from time to time), or otherwise.  The Indemnification Agreement will supercede all prior indemnity agreements and other similar agreements entered into by and between the Company and its officers and directors.
