The following is a summary of changes to the form of indemnification agreement, which is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of indemnification agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
The changes to the form of indemnification agreement include revising the provisions of the standard for indemnification to more closely track the language of the Maryland General Corporation Law, the statute pursuant to which the Company was incorporated, and to make certain procedural changes and clarifications to the current form of agreement. The Company intends to have its directors and officers replace existing indemnification agreements with the revised form. Under both the current indemnification agreements and the agreement as revised, the Company will indemnify directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted under Maryland law.
