Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

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 or officer 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 or officer, provided that such provisions shall not eliminate or limit the liability of (i) a director or officer for any breach of the director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) a director or officer for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) a director under Section 174 of the DGCL, (iv) a director or officer for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit, or (v) an officer in any action by or in the right of the corporation. No such provision shall eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer for any act or omission occurring before the date when such provision becomes effective.

 

Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant. The DGCL provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by any such person in defending any such action, suit or proceeding shall be paid or reimbursed by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Registrant of an undertaking of such person to repay such expenses if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant.

 

II-1

 

 

The Registrant’s certificate of incorporation provides for the indemnification of directors to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law. Directors shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.

 

The Registrant’s amended and restated bylaws provide for the indemnification of directors, executive officers and third parties acting on the Registrant’s behalf to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law.

 

The Registrant maintains a directors and officers liability insurance policy on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer against any loss arising from any claim asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in that capacity, subject to certain exclusions and limits of the amount of coverage.
