Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Financial Statements and E


Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 28, 2009, our Board of Directors approved, and we entered into, separate Indemnity Agreements with each of our executive officers and directors. A copy of the form of Indemnity Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Indemnity Agreements incorporate the relevant provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and require us, among other things, to indemnify our executive officers and directors for certain expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by each executive officer or director in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of our executive officers or directors, or to any of our subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise to which such person provides services at our request.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) On August 28, 2009, we entered into Stock Option Cancellation Agreements with certain of our executive officers and directors, pursuant to which certain stock options previously granted to each such executive officer and director were cancelled in exchange for a nominal cash payment from us equal to $100 in the aggregate. The Stock Option Cancellation Agreements provided that, other than such nominal cash payment, each applicable executive officer or director had not received, and would not receive, any additional consideration in exchange for the cancellation of such stock options. Accordingly, while each such executive officer or director will be eligible to receive future equity grants pursuant to our regular compensation practices, no such executive officer or director will receive any future equity awards in exchange for the cancellation of such stock options. The executive officers and directors that entered into Stock Option Cancellation Agreements, and the aggregate number of shares underlying the stock options cancelled pursuant to such agreements, are as follows:
