The Registrant is also required to advance expenses to its directors and executive officers upon request to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and subject to the same restrictions applicable to indemnification payments.

Item 6.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Delaware General Corporation Law
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (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 (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, or (iv) for any transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify any person, including a director, officer, employee, or agent, who was or is a party or who is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person 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, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such suit, action, 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 corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; provided, that, in the case of any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit 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 a court shall determine that such indemnity is proper. Where a director, officer, employee, or agent is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation is required under the DGCL to indemnify such person against any expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the action.
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Article 9 of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation limits the personal liability of the Registrant's directors to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty to the extent provided by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL.
Pursuant to Article 6 of the Registrant's Bylaws, the Registrant will indemnify and hold harmless its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as it now exists or may hereafter be amended, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was one of the Registrant's directors or officers or, while a director or officer, is or was serving at the Registrant's request in any position or capacity for any other entity. The Registrant's Bylaws further provide for the advancement of expenses to directors or officers in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided that, to the extent required by law, such an advancement will be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or officer to repay all amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses. In addition, the Registrant's Bylaws permit the Registrant's board of directors to provide for indemnification and advancement of expenses to the Registrant's employees and agents to the extent and in the manner permitted by the DGCL.
Insurance and Contractual Arrangements
The Registrant's Bylaws authorize the Registrant to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its directors, officers, employees, and agents, and persons serving at the Registrant's request in any position or capacity for any other entity, against any liability asserted against or incurred by him or her, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Registrant would have the power or obligation to indemnify such person against the liability.
The Registrant maintains standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (i) to the Registrant's directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and (ii) to the Registrant with respect to payments that may be made by the Registrant to such officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification provisions or otherwise as a matter of law. The Registrant currently maintains management liability insurance, excess director and officer liability insurance, and Side A director and officer liability insurance.
The Registrant's Bylaws also provide that the indemnification rights set forth in the Bylaws are not exclusive of other indemnification rights to which an indemnified party may be entitled under any statute, provision in the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. In this regard, the Registrant has entered into an indemnification agreement with each of its directors and executive officers that provides a contractual right to indemnification and advancement of expenses. These indemnification agreements require the Registrant to indemnify its directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and for certain liabilities incurred as a result of actions brought, or threatened to be brought, against such directors and executive officers in connection with their duties, subject to certain limitations. The Registrant is also required to advance expenses to its directors and executive officers upon request to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and subject to the same restrictions applicable to indemnification payments. The agreements also contain various covenants by the Registrant regarding the maintenance of directors' and officers' liability insurance.

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
Provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)           That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3)           To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)          The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(h)          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
