Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Generally, Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
"DGCL") empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person for claims
arising against the person for serving as a present or former director, officer,
employee, or agent of the corporation. Indemnity is available only if the person
acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed
to, the best interests of the corporation. If the claim is a criminal action,
indemnification may be available only if the person had no reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The indemnity may include expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the claim.
A Delaware corporation may also indemnify persons against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred for actions brought by or on behalf of the
corporation subject to the conditions discussed above, except that no
indemnification is permitted in respect of any claim as to which person shall
have been found to be liable to the corporation unless a court determines that,
in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity.
To the extent the person is successful in defending a claim described
in the preceding two paragraphs, the corporation must indemnify the person
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred.
The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for in Section 145 is
not exclusive of any other rights to which the person may be entitled under any
By-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or
otherwise.
Section 145 of the DGCL also provides that a corporation may maintain
insurance against liabilities for which indemnification is not expressly
provided by the statute. The Registrant maintains reasonable levels of insurance
against liabilities for indemnification which it may incur under its Certificate
of Incorporation, as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation") and By-laws
(the "By-laws").
Article VII of the Registrant's By-laws provides that the Registrant
will indemnify, defend and hold harmless directors, officers, employees and
agents of the Registrant to the fullest extent currently permitted under the
DGCL.
3
In addition, Article Sixth of the Registrant's Certificate of
Incorporation, as permitted by Section 102(b) of the DGCL, provides that neither
the Registrant not its stockholders may recover damages from the Registrant's
directors for a breach of their fiduciary duty in the performance of their
duties as directors of the Registrant, unless the breach relates to (i) the
director's duty of loyalty, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) Section 174
of the DGCL or (iv) any transactions for which the director derived an improper
benefit. The Registrant's By-laws provide for indemnification of the
Registrant's directors, officers, employees and agents on the terms permitted
under Section 145 of the DGCL summarized above.
