Description of Securities.

Not applicable.
Item 5.

Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
|
Not applicable.
Item 6.
|
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
|
The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary
damages for breaches of directors fiduciary duties. The DGCL does not permit exculpation for liability:
|
|
|
for breach of duty of loyalty;
|
|
|
|
for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law;
|
|
|
|
under Section 174 of the DGCL (which deals generally with unlawful payments of dividends, stock repurchases
and redemptions); and
|
|
|
|
for transactions from which the director derived improper personal benefit.
|
The Registrants certificate of incorporation eliminates the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for any breach of
fiduciary duty, except to the extent such exemption is not permitted under the DGCL.
The Registrants bylaws provide that the
Registrant shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact such person is or was a director,
officer or employee of the Registrant, or, while a director, officer or employee of the Registrant, is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity, against all liability and loss
suffered and expenses reasonably incurred.
The Registrants bylaws further provide that the Registrant shall advance expenses
incurred in defending any such proceeding to any such indemnitees; provided, however, that, to the extent required by law, such advancement of expenses shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay
all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under the Registrants bylaws or otherwise.
In addition, the Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with all of its named executive officers and directors. These
agreements will provide that the indemnitees will be protected as promised in the Registrants bylaws (regardless of, among other things, any amendment to or revocation of the Registrants bylaws, any change in the composition of the board
of directors of the Registrant or any acquisition transaction relating to the Registrant) and advanced expenses to the fullest extent of the law and as set forth in the indemnification
agreements. These agreements will also provide, to the extent insurance is maintained, for the continued coverage of the indemnitees under the Registrants director and officer insurance
policies. The indemnification agreements, among other things and subject to certain limitations, will indemnify and hold harmless the indemnitees against any and all reasonable expenses, including fees and expenses of counsel, and any and all
liability and loss, including judgments, fines, ERISA, excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, incurred or paid by the indemnitees in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether or not by or in the right of the corporation or otherwise, in which the indemnitees are, were or at any time become parties, or are threatened to be made parties or are involved by
reason of the fact that the indemnitees are or were the Registrants directors or officers or are or were serving at its request as directors, officers, employees, trustees or representatives of another corporation or enterprise.
The Plan also provides that the committee administering the Plan and all members thereof are entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any
report or other information furnished to them by any officer or employee of the Registrant or any of its affiliates, or the Registrants legal counsel, independent auditors, consultants or any other agents assisting in the administration of the
Plan. Members of the committee and any officer or employee of the Registrant or any of its affiliates acting at the direction of or on behalf of the committee shall not be personally liable for any action or determination take or made in good faith
with respect to the Plan, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be indemnified and held harmless by the Registrant with respect to any such action or determination.
Item 7.
|
Exemption from Registration Claimed.
|
Not applicable.
The exhibits to the Registration Statement are listed in the Exhibit Index to the Registration Statement, which precedes such exhibits and is
incorporated herein by reference.
|
(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 the
Registration Statement:
|
|
(i)
|
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
|
|
(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) 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; and
|
|
(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 Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
|
(2)
|
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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, each filing of the Registrants annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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.
|
|
(h)
|
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 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
