Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law, the Registrant has broad powers to indemnify its directors and officers against
liabilities that they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act.
The Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides that no director of the Registrant will be held
personally liable for monetary damages for breach of the fiduciary duty as a
director, provided that a director may be liable (a) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (b) for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
1
knowing violation of law;
(c) for any violation of Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law;
or (d) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.  The Registrant's Bylaws, as amended,
provide for mandatory indemnification of its directors and executive officers,
to the fullest extent permissible under Delaware law.
In addition, the Registrant has a policy of entering
into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain of its executive
officers that require the Registrant to indemnify such persons against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
(if such settlement is approved in advance by the Registrant, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with any proceeding, whether actual or threatened, pending or
completed action, suit, proceeding or any alternative dispute resolution
mechanism, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative to which
any such person may be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is
or was a director or officer of the Registrant, provided 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 his or her
conduct was unlawful. The indemnification agreements also set forth certain
procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification
thereunder.
The Registrant has obtained a policy of directors'
and officers' liability insurance that insures the Registrant's directors and
officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under
certain circumstances.
