under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &ldquo;DGCL&rdquo;). Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation organized
thereunder may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys&rsquo;
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened,
pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been
a director, officer, employee or agent to the corporation. The DGCL provides that Section&nbsp;145 is not exclusive of other rights to
which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of the Company&rsquo;s stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise. The Company&rsquo;s amended and restated bylaws provide for indemnification of its directors, officers and employees
to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to limited exceptions.</P>

the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the 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&rsquo;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful
stock purchases, redemptions or other distributions or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit. The Company&rsquo;s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for such limitation of liability. The Company
maintains policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (a)&nbsp;to its directors and officers, in their respective capacities
as such, against loss arising from a claim made for any actual or alleged wrongful act, and (b)&nbsp;to the Company with respect to payments
which the Company may make to such officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification as a matter of law.</P>
