ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Generally, Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL")
empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person for claims arising
against the person for serving as a present or former director, officer,
employee, or agent of the corporation. Indemnity is available only if the person
acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed
to, the best interests of the corporation. If the claim is a criminal action,
indemnification may be available only if the person had no reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The indemnity may include expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the claim.
A Delaware corporation may also indemnify persons against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred for actions brought by or on behalf of the
corporation subject to the conditions discussed above, except that no
indemnification is permitted in respect of any claim as to which person shall
have been found to be liable to the corporation unless a court determines that,
in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity.
To the extent the person is successful in defending a claim described in
the preceding two paragraphs, the corporation must indemnify the person against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred. The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for in Section 145 is not
exclusive of any other rights to which the person may be entitled under any
By-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or
otherwise.
