Registrant provides that the Registrant shall indemnify any person (a &#147;Covered Person&#148;) who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (a &#147;Proceeding&#148;), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Registrant or, while serving as a director or
officer of the Registrant, is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee, agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to
employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) reasonably incurred by such Covered Person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, to the full extent permitted by applicable
law. Expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any Proceeding shall be paid by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding; provided, however, that such payment of expenses in
advance of a final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by such Covered Person to repay all amounts advanced if it should ultimately be determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified
by the Registrant as authorized by Article XII of the Bylaws or otherwise. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under Article XII of the Bylaws is not paid in full by the Registrant within thirty (30)&nbsp;days after a written
claim by a Covered Person has been received by the Registrant, Section&nbsp;12.3 of the Bylaws provides that such Covered Person may at any time thereafter file suit against the Registrant to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if
successful in whole or in part, such Covered Person shall be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action, the Registrant shall have the burden of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled to the requested
indemnification or advancement of expenses under Article XII of the Bylaws and applicable law. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Item&#8201;7. Exemption From Registration Claimed

otherwise), if the shares of Stock are publicly traded, and if a Participant holding an Award that constitutes &#147;deferred compensation&#148; under Section&nbsp;409A of the Code is a &#147;specified employee&#148; for purposes of

the Participant&#146;s death, unless such distribution or payment can be made in a manner that complies with Section&nbsp;409A of the Code, and any amounts so deferred will be paid in a lump sum on the day after such six month period elapses, with
the balance paid thereafter on the original schedule. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date the Committee determines that any Award may be subject to Section&nbsp;409A of the Code
