  corporation has the power, under specified circumstances, to indemnify its directors, officers, employees, and agents or persons who are or were serving at the request of the corporation as directors, officers, employees or agents of another entity.
  Indemnification is allowed in connection with threatened, pending, or completed actions, suits, or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, brought against
  them by reason of the fact that they were or are directors, officers, employees, or agents, for expenses, judgments and fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in any action, suit, or proceeding if: (i)&nbsp;he or she
  acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and (ii)&nbsp;with respect to any criminal proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her
  conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that a person did not act in good
  faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
  Indemnification is also allowed in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably
  incurred by them in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; provided, however, that a
  corporation cannot indemnify them if they have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless the Court of Chancery or the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that they are fairly and reasonably
  entitled to indemnity for such expenses. Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL also requires a Delaware corporation to indemnify a present or former officer or director against any expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
  such person if he or she has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein. </P>

  PART II
  INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
  Item 6.
  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
  The discussion below summarizes the material indemnification provisions of the Registrant's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of
  Incorporation ("Charter"), Certificate of Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation ("Certificate of Amendment"), and Second Amended and Restated Bylaws ("Bylaws"), Sections 102(b)(7) and
  145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), and the Plan.
  Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a Delaware
  corporation has the power, under specified circumstances, to indemnify its directors, officers, employees, and agents or persons who are or were serving at the request of the corporation as directors, officers, employees or agents of another entity.
  Indemnification is allowed in connection with threatened, pending, or completed actions, suits, or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, brought against
  them by reason of the fact that they were or are directors, officers, employees, or agents, for expenses, judgments and fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in any action, suit, or proceeding if: (i) he or she
  acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and (ii) with respect to any criminal proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her
  conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that a person did not act in good
  faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
  Indemnification is also allowed in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
  incurred by them in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; provided, however, that a
  corporation cannot indemnify them if they have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless the Court of Chancery or the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that they are fairly and reasonably
  entitled to indemnity for such expenses. Section 145 of the DGCL also requires a Delaware corporation to indemnify a present or former officer or director against any expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
  such person if he or she has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein.
  Article VII of the Charter together with Article VI of the Bylaws provide for mandatory
  indemnification of each person who was or is made a party to or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or
  investigative because:
  •
  the person is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the Registrant; or
  •
  is a person who, while a director or officer of the Registrant, is or was serving at the request of the
  Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, to the fullest extent permitted
  by the DGCL as it exists at the time the indemnification provisions of the Charter and the Bylaws were adopted or as it may be amended. However, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification or advancement, the Registrant will
  indemnify any person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of the Registrant.
  Article VII of the Charter and Article VI of the Bylaws provide for the advancement of reasonable expenses (including, without limitation,
  attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by any indemnified person; provided, however, that the person to whom expenses are advanced shall deliver to the Registrant a written affirmation of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the
  standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under the Bylaws and a written undertaking to repay all amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that such indemnified person is not entitled to be indemnified.
  Article VII of the Charter and Article VI of the Bylaws expressly provide that they are not the exclusive methods of indemnification.
  Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a Delaware corporation has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its directors,
  officers, employees or agents against liabilities asserted against such person in his or her capacity or arising out of his or her status as a director, officer, employee or agent of the company. A Delaware corporation has this power whether or not
  the corporation has the power to indemnify such person against the liability under Section 145 of the DGCL.
  Article VI of the Bylaws
  provides that the Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance, at its own expense, to protect itself and any director or officer of the Registrant or of another entity against any expense, liability or loss. This insurance coverage may be
  maintained regardless of whether the Registrant would have the power to indemnify the person against the expense, liability or loss under the Bylaws.
  The Certificate of Amendment to the Charter contains a provision limiting the personal liability of a director or officer to the Registrant or
  its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer. However, that provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director:
  •
  for any breach of the director's or officer'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, relating to liability for unlawful acquisitions or redemptions of, or payment
  of dividends on, capital stock; or
  •
  for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit.
  The forgoing statements are subject to the detailed provisions of Sections 145 and 102 of the DGCL, the Charter, the
  Certificate of Amendment, and the Bylaws.
  The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its executive officers
  and directors. These agreements require that the Registrant indemnify such individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liability that may arise by reason of their service to the Registrant, and to advance certain expenses
  incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.
  The Plan provides that the members of the compensation committee of the board of the
  Registrant (the "Compensation Committee") and any officer or employee of the Registrant or any of its affiliates acting at the direction or on behalf of the Compensation Committee shall not be personally liable for any action or
  determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be indemnified and held harmless by the Registrant with respect to any such action or determination.
