Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of each of its directors for monetary damages for breach of such director’s fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability: (a) for any breach of the director’s 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 the law; (c) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or (d) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The directors’ liability will be further limited to the extent permitted by any future amendments to the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizing the further limitation or elimination of the liability of directors. In addition, as permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Bylaws of the Registrant provide that: (i) the Registrant is required to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including those circumstances in which indemnification would otherwise be discretionary; (ii) the Registrant is required to advance expenses, as incurred, to such directors and officers in connection with defending a proceeding (except that it is not required to advance expenses to a person against whom the Registrant brings a claim for breach of the duty of loyalty, failure to act in good faith, intentional misconduct, knowing violation of the law or deriving an improper personal benefit); (iii) the rights conferred in the Bylaws are not exclusive and the Registrant is authorized to enter into indemnification agreements with such directors, officers and employees; (iv) the Registrant is required to maintain director and officer liability insurance to the extent it determines that such insurance is reasonably available; and (v) the Registrant may not retroactively amend the Bylaw provisions in a way that is adverse to such directors and officers.

The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and a number of its officers containing provisions which provide for the indemnification of such directors or officers, as applicable, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

The indemnification provisions in the Bylaws, and any indemnification agreements entered into between the Registrant and its directors or officers, may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the Registrant’s directors and officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.
