Item 6.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") permits a Delaware corporation to indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or proceedings, whether civil, criminal administrative or investigative (other than action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person was an officer or director of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests, and, for criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, and judicial approval is required prior to indemnification if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses that such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such defense.
The certificate of incorporation of the Registrant provides that the Registrant will indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than a "derivative" action by or in the right of the Registrant) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director of the Registrant, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
II-4
settlement in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such action was unlawful.
The certificate of incorporation of the Registrant further provides that the Registrant will pay for the expenses incurred by an indemnified director in defending the proceedings specified above in advance of their final disposition, provided that such person agrees to reimburse the Registrant if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification. The certificate of incorporation also provides that the Registrant may, in its sole discretion, indemnify any person who is or was one of its employees and agents or any person who is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise to the same degree as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers. In addition, the Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against and incurred by such person in such capacity, or arising out of the person's status as such whether or not the Registrant would have the power or obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of the DGCL. The Registrant maintains insurance for the benefit of the Registrant's officers and directors insuring such persons against various liabilities, including liabilities under the securities laws.
