as amended, provides that its directors shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or to the Registrant&#8217;s stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director&#8217;s duty of loyalty
to the Registrant or the Registrant&#8217;s stockholders; (ii) for acts or occasions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct

bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers upon request and approval to the fullest extent authorized
by the DGCL or any other applicable law. Such indemnity may be against reasonable expenses, including attorneys&#8217; fees, and other
items incident to any suit or proceeding (as prescribed in the bylaws) with respect to which the director or officer is a witness or a
party. In addition, upon request and approval, an officer or director shall be advanced expenses (as prescribed in the bylaws) within

(including attorneys&#8217; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred by the person
in connection with an action, suit or proceeding to which he or she is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such
position, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with
respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and
only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but
in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which
the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. Section 145 also provides that the indemnification provided for therein
shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may otherwise be entitled. In addition, the
Registrant maintains a directors&#8217; and officers&#8217; liability insurance policy.</P>
