William C. Lemmer, Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Company. Mr. Lemmer is
eligible to participate in the Companys 2005 Equity Incentive Plan.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Statutory Indemnification. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL)
permits a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation or 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 against expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding.
2
In a suit brought to obtain a judgment in the corporations favor, whether by the corporation
itself or derivatively by a stockholder, the corporation may only indemnify for expenses, including
attorneys fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of
the case, and the corporation may not indemnify for amounts paid in satisfaction of a judgment or
in settlement of the claim. In any such action, no indemnification may be paid in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such persons shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation
except as otherwise approved by the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which the claim was
brought. In any other type of proceeding, the indemnification may extend to judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such other
proceedings, as well as to expenses (including attorneys fees).
The statute does not permit indemnification unless the person seeking indemnification has
acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best
interests of the corporation and, in the case of criminal actions or proceedings, the person had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. There are additional limitations applicable
to criminal actions and to actions brought by or in the name of the corporation. The determination
as to whether a person seeking indemnification has met the required standard of conduct is to be
made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (i)
by a majority vote of directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though
less than a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such
directors, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iv) by the stockholders.
Our Amended Certificate of Incorporation (the Certificate) and bylaws require us to
indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law, and to
implement provisions pursuant to contractual indemnity agreements we have entered into with our
directors and executive officers. The Certificate limits the personal liability of a director to us
or our stockholders to damages for breach of the directors fiduciary duty. We have purchased
insurance on behalf of our directors and officers against certain liabilities that may be asserted
or incurred by such persons in their capacities as our directors or officers, or that may arise out
of their status as our directors or officers, including liabilities under the federal and state
securities laws. We have also entered into indemnity agreements with our directors and officers
whereby we have agreed to indemnify the directors and officers to the extent permitted by Delaware
law.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL (Section 102(b)) authorizes corporations to limit or to
eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations or their stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of directors fiduciary duty of care. Although Section 102(b) does not change
directors duty of care, it enables corporations to limit available relief to equitable remedies
such as injunction or rescission. The Certificate limits the liability of our directors to us or
our stockholders to the fullest extent permitted by Section 102(b). Specifically, our directors
will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of a directors fiduciary duty as a
director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the directors duty of loyalty to us or our
stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith, or which involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law; (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock purchases
or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; or (iv) for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit. In the view of the SEC, the limitation of monetary
liability pursuant to state law does not apply to liabilities under the federal securities laws.
Contractual Indemnification. We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our
directors, executive officers and certain other designated officers under which we have agreed to
indemnify and advance expenses to each indemnitee as provided in the indemnification agreements to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
In general, each indemnitee is entitled to the rights of indemnification if by reason of the
indemnitees corporate status he is or is threatened to be made a party to or a participant in any
threatened, pending or completed proceeding. Subject to certain conditions, we must indemnify the
3
indemnitee against all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with any proceeding if he
acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best
interests, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, if he had no reasonable cause to believe
his conduct was unlawful.
In the case of a proceeding by us, no indemnification against expenses will be made in respect
of any claim as to which the indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to us or if
applicable law prohibits the indemnification. Nonetheless, if applicable law permits
indemnification against expenses, indemnification will be made if and to the extent that the court
in which the relative proceeding is pending shall so determine.
If an indemnitee is not wholly successful in defense of a proceeding, but is successful on the
merits or otherwise as to one or more but not less than all claims, we will indemnify the
indemnitee against all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in
connection with each such claim as to which the indemnitee was successful on the merits or
otherwise. An indemnitee will be successful on the merits or otherwise if, among other things, (i)
the claim was terminated by withdrawal or dismissal with or without prejudice; (ii) a claim was
terminated without any express finding of liability or guilt against the indemnitee with or without
prejudice; or (iii) 120 days expires after the making of a claim or threat without the institution
of the claim or threat, or settlement of a claim as to which the indemnitee pays less than
$200,000.
In no event is an indemnitee entitled to indemnification with respect to a claim to the extent
applicable law prohibits the indemnification, or an admission is made by the indemnitee in writing
to us, or final nonappealable determination is made in a proceeding that the standard for conduct
for indemnification under the indemnification agreement has not been met.
Indemnitees also are entitled to indemnification if they are required to appear as a witness
in any proceeding.
We must advance all reasonable expenses incurred by or on behalf of an indemnitee in
connection with a proceeding within ten days after our receipt of a statement from the indemnitee
requesting the advance, whether before or after the final disposition of the proceeding. The
indemnitee must repay amounts advanced only if and to the extent it is ultimately determined by a
final nonappealable adjudication or arbitration decision that the indemnitee is not entitled to be
indemnified against the expenses.
The indemnification agreement also contains detailed procedures for determination of
entitlement to indemnification and remedies for an indemnitee if it is determined that an
indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.
If indemnification provided for in the indemnification agreement is held by a court to be
unavailable to an indemnitee for any reason other than the indemnitee did not act in good faith and
in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, or with respect
to a criminal proceeding, that the indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful, we are required to contribute to the amount of expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and
amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee, in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnitee and the relative
fault of the indemnitee versus the other defendants or participants in connection with the action
or inaction that resulted in the expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in
settlement, as well as any other relevant equity considerations.

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 and of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than a 20 percent 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 periodic 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 the 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. |
|
|
(4) |
|
That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each filing of the registrants annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plans 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. |
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities 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 Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 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
of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
