The VSCA permits indemnification of a corporation&#8217;s directors and officers in a variety of circumstances, which may include indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act. Sections 13.1-696 through 13.1-704 of the VSCA generally authorize a Virginia corporation to indemnify its directors and officers in civil, criminal, administrative and investigative actions if they acted in good faith and believed their conduct to be in the best interests of the corporation if acting in their official capacity with the corporation or, in all other cases, at least not opposed to its best interests, and, in the case of any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. Additionally, Section 13.1-704 of the VSCA provides that a Virginia corporation has the power to make any further indemnity to any director or officer, including in a proceeding brought by or in the right of the corporation, if authorized by its articles of incorporation or any bylaw or resolution adopted by the shareholders, except an indemnity against their willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law.

Section 13.1-692.1 of the VSCA permits the elimination of liability of directors and officers in any proceeding brought by or in the right of a corporation or brought by or on behalf of shareholders of a corporation, except for liability resulting from such persons having engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or any federal or state securities law, including, without limitation, any unlawful insider trading or manipulation of the market for any security.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-indent:36pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers pursuant to which we agree to indemnify, including advancing expenses to, each of them against any liabilities that they may incur as a result of their service as a director or executive officer of the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted by Virginia law and its amended and restated articles of incorporation.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-indent:36pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Registrant carries insurance on behalf of its directors, officers, employees or agents that may cover liabilities under the Securities Act.</font></div><div id="ie531f7ba048e463194f2048394c9cc83_278"></div><div style="margin-bottom:4.5pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">ITEM 7.
