Item 14.
|
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers.
|
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
authorizes a corporation’s board of directors to grant, and
authorizes a court to award, indemnity to officers, directors
and other corporate agents.
As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, the registrant’s certificate of
incorporation includes provisions that eliminate the personal
liability of its directors and officers for monetary damages for
breach of their fiduciary duty as directors and officers.
In addition, as permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, the bylaws of the registrant provide
that:
|
|
|
| |
•
|
The registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers for
serving the registrant in those capacities or for serving other
business enterprises at the registrant’s request, to the
fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law provides
that a corporation may indemnify such person if such person
acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
registrant and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was
unlawful.
|
| |
| |
•
|
The registrant may, in its discretion, indemnify employees and
agents in those circumstances where indemnification is not
required by law.
|
| |
| |
•
|
The registrant is required to advance expenses, as incurred, to
its directors and officers in connection with defending a
proceeding, except that such director or officer shall undertake
to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such
person is not entitled to indemnification.
|
| |
| |
•
|
The registrant will not be obligated pursuant to the bylaws to
indemnify a person with respect to proceedings initiated by that
person, except with respect to proceedings authorized by the
registrant’s Board of Directors or brought to enforce a
right to indemnification.
|
| |
| |
•
|
The rights conferred in the bylaws are not exclusive, and the
registrant is authorized to enter into indemnification
agreements with its directors, officers, employees and agents
and to obtain insurance to indemnify such persons.
|
II-1
|
|
|
| |
•
|
The registrant may not retroactively amend the bylaw provisions
to reduce its indemnification obligations to directors,
officers, employees and agents.
|
The registrant’s policy is to enter into separate
indemnification agreements with each of its directors and
officers that provide the maximum indemnity allowed to directors
and executive officers by Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law and also provides for certain additional
procedural protections. The registrant also maintains directors
and officers insurance to insure such persons against certain
liabilities.
These indemnification provisions and the indemnification
agreements entered into between the registrant and its officers
and directors may be sufficiently broad to permit
indemnification of the registrant’s officers and directors
for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred)
arising under the Securities Act.
The underwriting agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this
registration statement provides for indemnification by the
underwriters of the registrant and its officers and directors
for certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act and
otherwise.

Act as transactions pursuant to a compensatory benefit plan
approved by the registrant’s Board of Directors;
|
| |
| |
•
|
with respect to the transactions described in paragraphs (1)

for statutory merger or similar plan or acquisition in which

purpose of which was to change the registrant’s domicile
solely within the United States, and a Permit granted pursuant
to Section 25121 of the California Corporations Code; and
|
| |
| |
•
|
with respect to the transactions described in paragraphs

certificates issued in each such transaction. In each case, the

had adequate access, through his or her relationship with the

Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the
underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting
agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in
such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt
delivery to each purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the 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
II-6
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 Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of
prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in
reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to
Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities
Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as
of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each post effective amendment that
contains a form of prospectus 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) For the purpose of determining liability under the
Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, if the registrant is
subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to
Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to
an offering, other than registration statements relying on
Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on
Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the
registration statement as of the date it is first used after
effectiveness; provided, however, that no statement made in a
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
registration statement or made in a document incorporated or
deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement
or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will,
as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such
first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in
the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the
registration statement or made in any such document immediately
prior to such date of first use.
(4) For the purpose of determining liability of the
registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser to
the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned
registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities
of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration
statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell
the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered
or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following
communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to
the purchasers and will be considered to offer or sell such
securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the
undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be
filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering
prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used
or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus
relating to the offering containing material information about
the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on
behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the
offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
