believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless

Corporation&#146;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, defines &#147;claim, action, suit or proceeding&#148; to include any claim, action, suit or proceeding (whether brought by or in the right of the Corporation or otherwise),
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, or threat thereof, in which a director or officer of the Corporation (or his or her heirs, executors or administrators) may become involved, as a party or otherwise, (a)&nbsp;by reason of his

whether or not he or she continues in such capacity at the time such liability or expense shall have been incurred or asserted. The Corporation also provides directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance coverage for the acts and omissions
of its directors and officers. In order to be entitled to indemnification under the provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, a director or officer of the Corporation either must be wholly successful with respect to the
claim, action, suit or proceeding or must have acted in good faith in what he or she reasonably believed to be the best interests of the Corporation and in addition, with respect to a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
that his or her conduct was unlawful. Prior to the final disposition of a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the Corporation may advance expenses incurred by a current or former director or officer if the director or officer provides the Corporation
with an undertaking to repay the amount advanced if he or she is not entitled to indemnification after the final disposition. </P>

effect of (a)&nbsp;any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors&#146; rights generally, (b)&nbsp;general principles of equity
(regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), (c) public policy considerations which may limit the rights of parties to obtain certain remedies and (d)&nbsp;other recognized statutory and judicial constraints

Act. Our advice represents our opinion as to how such issue would be resolved were it to be considered by the highest court in the jurisdiction that enacted such law. The manner in which any particular issue would be treated in any actual court case
would depend in part on facts and circumstances particular to the case and would also depend on how the court involved chose to exercise the wide discretionary authority generally available to it. This letter is not intended to guarantee the outcome
of any legal dispute which may arise in the future. We advise you that issues addressed by this letter may be governed in whole or in part by other laws, but we express no opinion as to whether any relevant difference exists between the laws upon
which our opinions are based and any other laws which may actually govern. </P>
