<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;) provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and
officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation&#151;a &#147;derivative action&#148;), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to
expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking
indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation&#146;s bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or
otherwise. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the terms of our Bylaws and subject to the applicable provisions of Delaware law, we have indemnified each of our
directors and officers and, subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors, any other person, against expenses incurred or paid in connection with any claim made against such director or officer or any actual or threatened action, suit or
proceeding in which such director or officer may be involved by reason of being or having been a director or officer of us, or of serving or having served at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action taken or not taken by such director or officer in such capacity, and against the amount or amounts paid by such director or officer in settlement of any such claim, action, suit or
proceeding or any judgment or order entered therein. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a provision in the certificate of
incorporation of each corporation organized thereunder, such as the Company, eliminating or limiting, with certain exceptions, the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director. Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the liability of directors to the extent permitted by the DGCL. </P>
