      the Registrant in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding brought or threatened by reason of his position with the Registrant. In addition, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("Delaware Law") permits the Registrant to
      indemnify its directors, officers and others against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees resulting from various types of legal actions or proceedings if the actions of the party being indemnified meet the standards of
      conduct specified in the Delaware Law. The Registrant also maintains directors and officers liability insurance for the benefit of its directors and officers.</div>

        for exclusion from Code Section 409A and the regulations issued thereunder so as to avoid the imposition of any additional taxes or penalties under Code Section 409A. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan or
        any Award Agreement, neither the Board nor the Committee shall not take any action or exercise any discretion otherwise authorized under the Plan or any Award Agreement if such action or exercise of discretion would cause any Awards to become
        subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.&#160; If the Board or Committee determines that an Award, Award agreement, payment, or any other action contemplated by the provisions of the Plan would, if undertaken, cause a Participant to
        become subject to any additional taxes or other penalties under Code Section 409A, then unless the Board or Committee specifically provides otherwise, such Award, Award agreement, payment or other action shall not be given effect to the extent it
        causes such result and the related provisions of the Plan and/or Award Agreement may be modified by the Board or Committee, or, if necessary, suspended to the extent determined appropriate by the Board or Committee, in each case without the consent
        of or notice to the Participant in order to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A. To the extent any provision in the Plan or Award agreement purports to give the Board or Committee discretion to modify the terms of an Award, and the
        mere possession (as opposed to the exercise) of such discretion would result in adverse tax consequences to any Participant, then the Board or Committee shall not have such discretion.&#160; </div>
