Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (our “Charter”) limits the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages to us or our stockholders to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation
Law of Delaware (the “DGCL”). Under the DGCL, a corporation may include in its certificate of incorporation a provision providing that directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except:
| | | | | |
• | for any breach of their duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; |
• | for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of laws; |
• | under Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to unlawful dividends or stock repurchases or redemptions); or |
• | for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. |
Our Charter provides that if the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of our directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended. In addition, our Charter provides that the modification or repeal (including by changes in applicable law) of this exculpation provision of our Charter will not adversely affect any right or protection of a director with respect to acts or omission occurring prior to the time of such modification or repeal.
Under our Charter, we are required, to the fullest extent from time to time permitted by law, to indemnify our current and former directors and officers against all liabilities and expenses in any suit or proceeding, arising out of their status as an officer or director or their activities in these capacities. Under our Charter, we are also required to indemnify any person who, at our request, is or was serving as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to specified claims by persons entitled to mandatory indemnification and advancement of expenses to enforce their rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, we are not required to indemnify such persons in connection with a proceeding initiated by them unless the proceeding was authorized in the first instance by our Board. We may, by action of our Board, provide indemnification to our employees and agents within the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.
The right to indemnification under our Charter on the part of our current and former directors and officers and persons who, at our request, are or were serving as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise include the right to be paid expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided that, the payment of such expenses incurred by a current director or officer in that capacity will be made only upon delivery by the director or officer of an undertaking to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified.
Our Board may take such action as it deems necessary to carry out these indemnification provisions, including adopting procedures for determining and enforcing indemnification rights and purchasing insurance policies. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses under our Charter are not exclusive of any other right that a person may have or acquire under any statute, bylaw, agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, and our Board may adopt bylaws, resolutions or contracts implementing arrangements relating to indemnification or advancement of expenses as may be permitted by law. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred upon the persons entitled to them under our Charter are contract rights between us and the persons to whom those rights have been extended. In addition, the rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred upon the persons entitled to them under our Charter cannot be terminated by us, our Board or our stockholders with respect to any act or omission that is the subject of the proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought prior to the date of any such termination. In addition, any amendment, modification or repeal of the provisions of our Charter relating to rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses that in any way diminishes, limits or adversely affects or eliminates any rights of any person to whom rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses are conferred will be prospective only and will not, without that person’s consent, diminish, limit, restrict, adversely affect or eliminate any such rights with respect to any actual or alleged state of facts, occurrence, action or omission then or previously existing, or any action, suit or proceeding previously or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such actual or alleged state of facts, occurrence, action or omission.
We believe these provisions assist in attracting and retaining qualified individuals to serve as directors and officers. We have entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers, which are broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the DGCL. These indemnification agreements generally require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. These indemnification agreements also generally require us to advance expenses incurred by the directors or officers to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed.

Item 9. Undertakings.
The Company hereby undertakes:
| | | | | | | | |
| (a)(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;
|
| (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 the 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% 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) above 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 us 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 hereby which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
| | | | | | | | |
| (b) | The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s 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 hereof.
|
| (c) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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. |
