each of the Registrant&#146;s current directors and executive officers which provide for indemnification of, and advancement of expenses to, such persons to the greatest extent permitted by California law, including by reason of action or inaction
occurring in the past and circumstances in which indemnification and advancement of expenses are discretionary under California law. In addition, the Registrant maintains insurance on behalf of its directors and executive officers insuring them
