Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify its directors and officers against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement that are actually and reasonably incurred by such officers and directors in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if, in connection with the matters in issue, they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal suit or proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. If the action is brought by or in the right of the corporation, such indemnification may only be provided as long as, in addition to the foregoing, it is not made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such officer or director has been found liable to the corporation, unless such indemnification is approved by the court. Section 145 permits a Delaware corporation to grant its directors and officers additional rights of indemnification through bylaw provisions and otherwise and to purchase indemnity insurance on behalf of its directors and officers.
Pursuant to Article Ninth of the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a director of the Company will not be personally liable to the Company or to its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by such director other than liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty, (ii) arising out of acts or omissions not taken in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to the unlawful payments of dividends or redemption of stock) or (iv) arising from a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. In addition, such Article Ninth provides that the Company may indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent authorized by law, including indemnification under statutory or case law or pursuant to indemnity agreements or contracts with such persons.
As permitted by Section 3.15 of its Bylaws, the Company has entered into Indemnification Agreements with each director and executive officer of the Company which provide for indemnity on terms consistent with the foregoing.
As permitted under Section 145 of the DGCL, the Company has purchased and maintains insurance on behalf of directors and officers against any liability asserted against such directors and officers in their capacities as such.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(l) 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 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 Filing Fee Tables” 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) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 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; and
(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 Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this 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.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant as described in Item 6 hereof 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.
