Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the statute, Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, Amended and Restated By-Laws and agreement referred to below. The Registrant's Amended and Restated By-Laws provide that each person who was or is made a party to, is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant (or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity), will be indemnified and held harmless by the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law as it currently exists or is later amended. Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation (or other entity if such person is serving in such capacity at the corporation's request) against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action brought by or in the right of the corporation, the corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation (or other entity if such person is serving in such capacity at the corporation's request) against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed -2- 3 to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such persons shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless a court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses as the court shall deem proper. Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that a director of the Registrant shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for any acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (iv) for any transaction in which the director derived an improper personal benefit. In addition, the Registrant and David E. McDowell are parties to an agreement pursuant to which the Registrant has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Mr. McDowell to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law as it presently exists or to such greater extent as such law may subsequently be amended. The Registrant maintains directors and officers liability insurance. Such policies have a deductible of $150,000 and an annual per occurrence and aggregate cap on coverage of $50 million. Item 8.
