All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the respective dates of filing of such documents (such documents, and the documents enumerated above, being hereinafter referred to as "Incorporated Documents").

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the "DGCL") provides a detailed statutory framework covering indemnification of officers and directors against liabilities and expenses arising out of legal proceedings brought against them by reason of their being or having been directors or officers. Section 145 generally provides that a director or officer of a corporation:
•
shall be indemnified by the corporation for all expenses of such legal proceedings when he is successful on the merits;
•
may be indemnified by the corporation for the expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement of such proceedings (other than a derivative suit), even if he is not successful on the merits, if he 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, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; and
•
may be indemnified by the corporation for the expenses of a derivative suit (a suit by a stockholder alleging a breach by a director or officer of a duty owed to the corporation), even if he is not successful on the merits, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.
The indemnification discussed in the second and third clauses above may be made only upon a determination that indemnification is proper because the applicable standard of conduct has been met. Such a determination may be made by a majority of a quorum of disinterested directors, independent legal counsel, the stockholders or a court of competent jurisdiction. The indemnification discussed in the third clause above may not apply, however, if the director or officer is adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duties to the corporation, unless a corporation determines that despite such adjudication, but in view of all the circumstances, he is entitled to indemnification.
Article VII of the Registrant's Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Article VI of the Registrant's Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws provide in substance that, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, each director and officer shall be indemnified against reasonable costs and expenses, including attorney's fees, and any liabilities which he may incur in connection with any action to which he may be made a party by reason of his being or having been a director or officer of our company, a predecessor of our company, or serves or served as a director, officer or employee of another enterprise at the request of our company or any predecessor of our company. The indemnification provided by the Registrant's certificate of incorporation is not deemed exclusive of or intended in any way to limit any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification may be entitled. Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:
•
for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders,
•
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
•
under Section 174 of the DGCL, or
•
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Article VII of the Registrant's Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for the elimination of personal liability of a director for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, as permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL. The Registrant maintains liability insurance on its officers and directors against liabilities that they may incur in such capacities. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
