California General Corporation Law. Section&nbsp;317 of the California General Corporation Law (&#147;<U>Section 317</U>&#148;) provides a statutory framework covering indemnification of any officer or director who has been or is threatened to be
made a party to any legal proceeding by reason of his or her service on behalf of the Registrant. Section&nbsp;317 provides that indemnification against expenses actually and reasonably incurred shall be made to any officer or director who has been
successful on the merits with respect to the defense of any proceeding but does not require indemnification in other circumstances. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;317 provides that a corporation may indemnify any agent of the Registrant including officers and directors against expenses,
judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in a third party proceeding against such person by reason of that person&#146;s service on behalf of the Registrant, provided the person acted in good faith and in a
manner that the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Registrant. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;317 further provides that the
Registrant may indemnify any agent who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the Registrant against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the agent in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action, provided that the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person believed to be in the best interests of the Registrant and its shareholders. However, in actions brought by or in the
right of the Registrant, indemnification is not available without court approval for amounts paid in settling or otherwise disposing of a pending action or expenses incurred in defending a pending action which is disposed of by settlement or
otherwise. Further, with respect to matters for which the agent shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Registrant, indemnification for expenses is permissible only to the extent the court shall determine that the agent is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnification. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, Section&nbsp;317 provides that the indemnification provided by the statute is not exclusive of
other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, to the extent additional rights are authorized in the Registrant&#146;s Articles of
Incorporation. Section&nbsp;317 permits the advancing of expenses incurred in defending any proceeding against an agent of the Registrant by reason of that person&#146;s service on behalf of the Registrant upon the giving of an undertaking, by the
indemnified person to repay those sums in the event it is later determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified. Finally, Section&nbsp;317 permits the Registrant to procure insurance on behalf of its directors, officers, and other
corporate agents against liability asserted against or incurred by these individuals even if the Registrant would not otherwise have the power under applicable law to indemnify them for their expenses. The Registrant&#146;s Articles of Incorporation
and Bylaws, as amended respectively, authorize the Registrant to indemnify its agents to the fullest extent permitted under California law. The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers. The Registrant
also maintains directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:18pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>
