Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The
validity of the securities registered hereby has been passed upon for the Registrant by Greenberg Traurig, LLP.
Item 6. Indemnification of
Directors and Officers.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") permits a corporation to eliminate the
personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged
in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit. Our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation provides that to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as it may be amended, no director shall be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or a person
serving at the request of the corporation for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in related capacities against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding to which he was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, ending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of such
position, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
3
Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person
who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against him
and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him under Section 145.
The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Company will indemnify its directors to the fullest extent permitted by
law, as it may be amended. In addition, the Company's amended and restated bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or other applicable law, as it may be amended, and
that the Company must also pay expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon delivery of an undertaking, by or on behalf of an indemnified person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined
ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under such section or otherwise.
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements
with each of its executive officers and directors. The indemnification agreements provide the executive officers and directors with contractual rights to indemnification, expense advancement and reimbursement, to the fullest extent permitted under
the DGCL.
The Company maintains a general liability insurance policy that covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of the Company arising out
of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.
