Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Delaware General Corporation Law
. Section 145(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "Delaware
General Corporation Law") provides that a corporation may 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 an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the 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 the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the 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, had no reasonable cause to believe the person's 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 the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the 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, had reasonable cause to believe that the person's conduct was unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the Delaware General
Corporation Law states that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its
favor by reason of the fact that the 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) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a
manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 145(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that to the extent that a present or former director or officer of a
corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
Section 145(d) of the Delaware General Corporation Law states that any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of
Section 145 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the
circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145. Such determination
- 2 -
shall be made with respect to a person who is a director or officer of the corporation at the time of such determination (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such
action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, (2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, (3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so
direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders.
Section 145(e) of the Delaware General
Corporation Law provides that expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director of the corporation in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation
in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be
indemnified by the corporation as authorized by Section 145. Such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents of the corporation or by persons serving at the request of the
corporation as directors, officers, employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.
Section 145(f) of the Delaware General Corporation Law states that the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or
granted pursuant to, the other subsections of Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. A right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses arising under a provision of the
certificate of incorporation or a bylaw shall not be eliminated or impaired by an amendment to such provision after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of the civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or
proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought, unless the provision in effect at the time of such act or omission explicitly authorizes such elimination or impairment after such action or omission has occurred.
Section 145(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who 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 any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to
indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of Section 145.
Section 145(j) of the Delaware General
Corporation Law states that the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, Section 145 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
Bylaws
. The
Registrant's Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify any person who was or is 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, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the Registrant, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request to the Registrant as a director or officer of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, and may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to such an
action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to become an
- 3 -
employee or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Registrant, as an 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 him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding
and any appeal therefrom, if 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 Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding had no reasonable cause
to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, except that in the case of an action or suit by or in the right of the Registrant to procure a judgment in its favor (1) such indemnification shall be limited to expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in the defense or settlement of such action or suit, and (2) no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the Registrant unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Registrant has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.
Any indemnification of a director or officer of the
Registrant under the Bylaws (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Registrant unless a determination is made that indemnification of the director or officer is not proper in the circumstances because he or she has not met the applicable
standard of conduct. Any indemnification of an employee or agent of the Registrant under the Bylaws (unless ordered by a court) may be made by the Registrant upon a determination that indemnification of the employee or agent is proper in the
circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct. Any such determination shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such actions, suit or
proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders.
Unless the Board of Directors otherwise determines in a specific case, expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending a civil or
criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall
ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant as authorized by the Bylaws. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of
Directors deems appropriate. The Board of Directors may authorize the Registrant's legal counsel to represent such director, officer, employee or agent in any action, suit or proceeding, whether or not the Registrant is a party to such action,
suit or proceeding.
Certificate of Incorporation.
Article Seven of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides
that the Registrant's directors will not be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors except (a) for any breach of the duty of loyalty to the
Registrant or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which makes directors
liable for unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions, or (d) for transactions from which directors derive improper personal benefit. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to permit further elimination or
limitation of the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Registrant shall be eliminated or
- 4 -
limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law as so amended. Any repeal or modification of Article Seven shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a
director of the Registrant existing at the time of such repeal or modification.
Article Eight of the Registrant's Certificate of
Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same may be amended from time to time, the Registrant shall indemnify any and all of its directors or any person who may have served at the
Registrant's request as a director and the indemnification provided for therein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders, vote of disinterested
directors or otherwise, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such persons and the Registrant may but is not required to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any director to the extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Indemnification Agreements.
The Registrant has also entered into indemnification agreements with its
directors and officers pursuant to which it will agree to pay certain expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred by such directors and officers in connection with certain actions, suits or
proceedings. These agreements require directors to repay the amount of any expenses advanced if it shall be determined that they are not entitled to indemnification.
Insurance.
The Registrant also maintains a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy.
