governing the indemnification of officers, directors and other persons. Section&nbsp;145 provides that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that </P>

the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation in a similar capacity with another corporation or other entity,
against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection therewith if the person acted in good faith and in a manner that the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of
the corporation. With respect to a suit by or in the right of the corporation, indemnity may be provided to the foregoing persons under Section&nbsp;145 on a basis similar to that set forth above, except that no indemnity may be provided in respect
of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action, suit or proceeding was brought determines that
despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. Moreover, Section&nbsp;145 provides for mandatory indemnification of a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation to the extent that such person has been successful in defense of any such action, suit or proceeding and provides that a corporation may pay the expenses of an officer or director in defending
an action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified. Section&nbsp;145 establishes provisions for determining that a given person is
entitled to indemnification, and also provides that the indemnification provided by or granted under Section&nbsp;145 is not exclusive of any rights to indemnity or advancement of expenses to which such person may be entitled under any <FONT

of the DGCL permits corporations to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of the director&#146;s duty of care. Specifically, this section provides that a
director of a corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to
the corporation or its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit. Accordingly, Article VIII of the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the &#147;Certificate of Incorporation&#148;) provides that to the full extent permitted by the
DGCL, no director of the Registrant will be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for or with respect to any acts or omissions in the performance of his or her duties as a director of the Registrant. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Article IX of the Certificate of Incorporation provides in part that the Registrant shall indemnify any director or officer who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or
officer of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant, as a director, officer, employee or agent of certain other entities, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys&#146; fees, judgments, fines, ERISA
excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Both the DGCL and Article IX of the Certificate of Incorporation provide that the Registrant may maintain insurance to cover losses incurred
pursuant to liability of directors and officers of the Registrant. The Registrant has purchased a Directors and Officers Liability Insurance Policy, which insures the directors and officers against certain liabilities that might arise in connection
with their respective positions with the Registrant. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registrant has entered into Indemnification Agreements with each of its
directors and officers providing for additional indemnification protection beyond that provided by the Directors and Officers Liability Insurance Policy. In the Indemnification Agreements, the Registrant has agreed, subject to certain exceptions, to
indemnify and hold harmless the director or officer to the maximum extent then authorized or permitted by the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, the DGCL, or by any amendment(s) thereto. </P>
