CL Section 102(b)(7) does not permit elimination of an officer’s monetary liability for breach of fiduciary duty claims brought by the corporation itself or for derivative claims brought by stockholders in the name of the corporation. Furthermore, the limitation on liability is not permitted to apply to breaches of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or any transaction in which the officer derived an improper personal benefit. The Board believes it is important to provide protection from certain liabilities and expenses that may discourage prospective or current directors from accepting or continuing membership on our Board and prospective or current officers from serving with us. In the absence of such protection, qualified directors and officers might be deterred from serving as directors or officers due to exposure to personal liability and the risk that substantial expense will be incurred in defending lawsuits, regardless of merit. Our Certificate of Incorporation currently provides exculpation for directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. In considering whether to extend exculpation to officers pursuant to the amended DGCL Section 102(b)(7), the Board took into account the narrow class and type of claims from which such officers would be exculpated, the limited number of our personnel who would be entitled to such exculpation, and the benefits the Board believes would accrue to us by providing exculpation in accordance with DGCL Section 102(b)(7), including, without limitation, the ability to attract and retain key officers and the potential to reduce litigation costs associated with frivolous lawsuits. The Board balanced these considerations with our corporate governance guidelines and practices and determined that it is advisable and in our and our stockholders’ best interests to amend the current exculpation provisions in Article 10 of our Certificate of Incorporation to extend exculpation protection to our officers in 59

addition to our directors, as well as to provide for the automatic expansion of our exculpation provision to the extent the DGCL is amended to allow for a greater scope of exculpation than is currently permitted. We refer to this proposed amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation as the “Certificate Amendment” in this proxy statement.
