PART II: INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

Laura A. Fennell, Esq., Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of the Company, will pass upon the validity of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock offered by this Registration Statement. As of January 1, 2012, Ms. Fennell held 29,491 shares of the Company’s common stock, options to purchase 250,245 shares of Common Stock (of which 215,435 shares are exercisable within the next 60 days), and 109,256 restricted stock units (3,748 of which are vested or will vest in the next 60 days).

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

As permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach or alleged breach of their duty of care to the fullest extent of the law. In addition, as permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant’s Bylaws provide that:

 

•

the Registrant is required to indemnify its directors and officers and persons serving in such capacities in other business enterprises (including, for example, our subsidiaries) at the request of the Registrant, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including those circumstances in which indemnification would otherwise be discretionary;

 

•

the Registrant may, in its discretion, indemnify employees and agents in those circumstances where indemnification is not required by the Registrant’s Bylaws;

 

•

the Registrant is required to advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and executive officers in connection with defending a proceeding (except that it is not required to advance expenses to a person against whom the Registrant brings a claim for breach of the duty of loyalty, failure to act in good faith, intentional misconduct, knowing violation of law or deriving an improper personal benefit);

 

•

the rights conferred in the Registrant’s Bylaws are not exclusive, and the Registrant is authorized to enter into indemnification agreements with its directors, officers and employees; and

 

•

the Registrant may not retroactively amend the Registrant’s Bylaw provisions in a way that is adverse to such directors, officers and employees.

The Registrant’s policy is to enter into indemnity agreements with each of its and its subsidiaries’ directors and officers. The agreements provide that the Registrant will indemnify its directors and officers under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Registrant’s Bylaws. In addition, the indemnity agreements provide that the Registrant will advance expenses (including attorney’s fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the directors and officers in any action or proceeding, including any derivative action by or in the right of the Registrant, on account of their services as directors or officers of the Registrant or as directors or officers of any other company or enterprise when they are serving in such capacities at the request of the Registrant. The Registrant will not be obligated pursuant to the agreements to indemnify or advance expenses to an indemnified party with respect to proceedings or claims initiated by the indemnified party and not by way of defense, except with respect to proceedings specifically authorized by the Registrant’s Board of Directors or brought to enforce a right to indemnification under the indemnity agreement, the Registrant’s Bylaws or any statute or law. Under the agreements, the Registrant is not obligated to indemnify the indemnified party:

 

•

for any expenses incurred by the indemnified party with respect to any proceeding instituted by the indemnified party to enforce or interpret the agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by the indemnified party in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous;

 

•

for any amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding unless the Registrant consents to such settlement;

 

•

with respect to any proceeding brought by the Registrant against the indemnified party for willful misconduct, unless a court determines that each of such claims was not made in good faith or was frivolous;

---

•

on account of any suit in which judgment is rendered against the indemnified party for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by the indemnified party of securities of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and related laws;

 

•

on account of the indemnified party’s conduct which is finally adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest, or to constitute willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; or

 

•

if a final decision by a court having jurisdiction in the matter shall determine that such indemnification is not lawful.

The indemnification provision in the Registrant’s Bylaws, and the indemnity agreements entered into between the Registrant and its directors and executive officers, may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the Registrant’s officers and directors for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

The indemnity agreements with the Registrant’s officers and directors require the Registrant to maintain director and officer liability insurance to the extent reasonably available. The Registrant currently maintains a director and officer liability insurance policy.
