ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS
AND OFFICERS.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (DGCL), empowers a Delaware corporation to
indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending, or completed legal action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of
such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person was an officer or director of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The
indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding, provided that such officer or
director acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporations best interests, and, for criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation
may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the
corporation in the performance of his duty. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or director
actually and reasonably incurred.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws provide that we will have the power to
indemnify, to the extent permitted by the DGCL, as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended from time to time, our directors, officers, employees and other agents against expenses and liabilities incurred in legal proceedings. The restated
bylaws also provide that the right of directors and officers to indemnification shall be a contract right and shall not be exclusive of any other right now possessed or hereafter acquired under any statute, provision of the certificate of
incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote or consent of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The restated bylaws also permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee, or other agent for the Registrant or
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or non-profit entity against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify such
person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that directors shall not be personally liable
for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors except for (i) breaches of their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing
violations of law, (iii) certain transactions under Section 174 of the DGCL (unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions), or (iv) transactions from which a director derives an improper personal benefit.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation includes such a provision. The effect of this provision is to eliminate the personal liability of directors for monetary damages or actions involving a breach of their fiduciary duty of care,
including any actions involving gross negligence.
