    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Section 8.101 of the Texas Business Organizations Code (&#8220;TBOC&#8221;) provides that a corporation may indemnify a director, former director or
        delegate thereof who was, is or is threatened to be named as a defendant or respondent in a proceeding because the person is or was a director, former director or delegate thereof of the corporation against judgments and expenses that are
        reasonable and actually incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding, provided that such person (i) acted in good faith, (ii) reasonably believed (a) in the case of conduct in their official capacity, that their conduct was in the
        corporation&#8217;s best interests, or (b) in all other cases, that their conduct was not opposed to the corporation&#8217;s best interests, and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.
        Subject to certain exceptions, a director, former director or delegate thereof may not be indemnified if such person is found liable to the corporation or if such person is found liable on the basis that he improperly received a personal benefit.</font></div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Under the TBOC, reasonable expenses incurred by a present director or delegate may be paid or reimbursed by the corporation in advance of a
        final disposition of the proceeding after the corporation receives a written affirmation by such person of their good faith belief that they have met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification and a written undertaking by or on behalf of
        such person to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if it is ultimately determined that they are not entitled to indemnification by the corporation. Texas law requires a corporation to indemnify a governing person, former governing person or
        delegate against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with a proceeding in which they are named a defendant or respondent because they are or were a governing person or delegate if they are wholly successful in the defense of the proceeding.</font></div>

    </div>
    <div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The TBOC permits a corporation to indemnify and advance expenses to persons other than present or former directors, including officers,
        employees or agents, as provided by the corporation&#8217;s governing documents or contract, among other means, and requires that a corporation indemnify an officer to the same extent that indemnification of present or former directors is required under
        the TBOC.</font></div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Texas law also permits a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance or another arrangement on behalf of any person who is or was a
        director, delegate, officer, employee or agent against any liability asserted against and incurred by them in such a capacity or arising out of their status as such a person, whether or not the corporation otherwise would have the power to
        indemnify them against that liability under Chapter 8 of the TBOC.</font></div>
