Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of
the capacities set forth above, against expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted under similar standards to those
set forth above, except that no indemnification may be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action
or suit was brought shall determine that despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.
Section 145 of the DGCL further provides that, to the extent a director or officer of a corporation has been successful in the
defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsection (a) and (b) or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection therewith; that indemnification provided for by Section 145 of the DGCL shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled; and that the corporation may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of a director or officer of the corporation against any liability asserted against such officer or director and incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liabilities under Section 145 of the DGCL.
Article VII of the
Companys bylaws contains provisions for indemnification of directors and officers and for the advancements of expenses to any director or officer to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
Additionally, Article Eleventh of the Companys restated certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by
Delaware law, no director shall be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.
Article VIII of the Companys bylaws permits the Company to purchase insurance for directors, officers, trustees, employees and agents
whether or not the Company has the power to indemnify pursuant to law against liability for expenses, judgments or settlements. The Company has director and officer insurance in place for its directors and officers.
In addition, the Company has entered into indemnity agreements with its directors and executive officers. The indemnity agreements generally
provide that the Company will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless each indemnitee that is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any civil, criminal or administrative proceeding by reason of the fact that such
person is or was a director or officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, trustee, general partner, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other enterprise, against all expenses,
judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee in connection with any such proceeding. The indemnity agreements provide the indemnitee with indemnification rights in connection with
third-party proceedings and proceedings brought by or in the right of the Company. In addition, the indemnity agreements provide for the advancement of expenses incurred by the indemnitee in connection with any covered proceeding, or in connection
with responding to discovery requests in any covered proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The indemnity agreements also provide that if the indemnification rights provided for therein are unavailable for any reason, the
Company will pay, in the first instance, the entire amount incurred by the indemnitee in connection with any covered proceeding and waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have against the indemnitee. The rights provided by the
indemnity agreements are in addition to any other rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses to which the indemnitee may be entitled under applicable law, the Companys certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or otherwise. The above
description of the indemnity agreements is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the form of indemnity agreement, previously filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Companys Current Report on
Form 8-K filed
with the Commission on December 11, 2018.
