quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2009, and Exhibit 10.1 of the registrant&#146;s Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">8-K</FONT> filed July&nbsp;23, 2012. Each indemnification agreement provides, among other things, that the registrant will, subject to
the agreement terms, indemnify a director or officer, as applicable, if, by reason of the individual&#146;s status as a director or officer, the person incurs losses, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, or amounts paid in settlement in
connection with any threatened, pending, or completed proceeding, whether of a civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative nature. In addition, each indemnification agreement provides for the advancement of expenses incurred by a director or
officer, as applicable, subject to certain exceptions, in connection with proceedings covered by the indemnification agreement. As a director and officer of the registrant, Charles E. Jones has an agreement that addresses indemnity in both roles.
