Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Delaware Law, Certificate of Incorporation, and Bylaws

 

The following provisions of Delaware law and the registrant’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws govern the indemnification of the registrant’s directors and officers.

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) permits a corporation to indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or other person who 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, any such person we refer to as an indemnitee, against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by reason of the fact that the indemnitee is or was serving the corporation or another entity at the direction of the corporation, provided that the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she 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 he or she had no reason to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action (i.e., one brought by or on behalf of the corporation), indemnification may be provided only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such an action or suit if the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be provided if the indemnitee is adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought determines that the indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for his or her expenses despite the adjudication of liability.

 

Section 145(g) of the DGCL also provides that a corporation may maintain insurance against liabilities even if the corporation would lack the power under the DGCL to indemnify against those liabilities.

 

Article Ninth of the registrant’s certificate of incorporation provides that a director is not liable to the registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. It further obligates the registrant, with respect to its officers and directors, and permits the registrant, with respect to its employees and agents, to indemnify, in the manner and to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, any person (or the estate of any person) who is or was a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether or not by or in the right of the registrant, and whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director or officer, or employee or agent, as the case may be, of the registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the registrant as a director or officer, or employee or agent, as the case may be, of another corporation or entity. The registrant may advance the expenses incurred by any such director, officer, employee or agent in defending any such action, suit or proceeding prior to its final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking by the recipient to repay the amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized by the DGCL and the registrant’s certificate of incorporation. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, the indemnification provided in the certificate of incorporation includes expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and, in the manner provided by the DGCL, the registrant may pay any of these expenses in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding.

 

Except as described in this paragraph, Article VII of the registrant’s bylaws contains provisions substantially similar to Article Ninth of the registrant’s certificate of incorporation. In addition, the registrant’s bylaws obligate the registrant to indemnify each of its officers, directors, employees and agents in any action, suit or proceeding referred to above to the extent that person has been successful on the merits in defense thereof, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by that person in connection therewith. The registrant’s bylaws obligate the registrant to advance expenses to its officers and directors, and require an undertaking to repay expenses under the specified conditions if required by applicable law.

General

 

The registrant also maintains insurance for its officers and directors against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. The effect of this insurance is to indemnify any of the registrant’s officers or directors against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, incurred by an officer or director upon a determination that such person acted in good faith. The registrant pays the premiums for this insurance.

 

The registrant has also entered into separate indemnification agreements with its officers and directors, which indemnify the officer or director against all liabilities relating to his or her position as an officer or director of the registrant, or as an employee, agent, officer or director of any other entity if the officer or director is serving in that capacity at the registrant’s request, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.

  

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to the registrant’s directors, officers or controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In addition, indemnification for violations of state securities laws may be limited by applicable laws.

Item 9. Undertakings

 

  (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

  (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
     
  (ii) 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) (§ 230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% 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 this 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 Section 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.
     
  (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) 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.
