or claim that occurred or arose prior to that amendment or repeal. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to provide for further limitations on the personal liability of directors of corporations, then the personal liability of the
Registrant&#146;s directors will be further limited to the greatest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">In
addition, the Registrant&#146;s amended and restated bylaws provide that the Registrant will indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit, or proceeding
by reason of the fact that he or she is or was one of the Registrant&#146;s directors or officers or is or was serving at the Registrant&#146;s request as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other
enterprise. The Registrant&#146;s amended and restated bylaws provide that the Registrant may indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit, or proceeding by
reason of the fact that he or she is or was one of the Registrant&#146;s employees or agents or is or was serving at the Registrant&#146;s request as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other
enterprise. The Registrant&#146;s amended and restated bylaws also provide that the Registrant must advance expenses incurred by or on behalf of a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, subject to
limited exceptions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Further, the Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers
that may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law. These indemnification agreements require the Registrant, among other things, to indemnify its directors and executive officers
against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service. These indemnification agreements also require the Registrant to advance all expenses incurred by the directors and executive officers in investigating or defending any such
action, suit, or proceeding. The Registrant believes that these agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and executive officers. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in the Registrant&#146;s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended
and restated bylaws, and the indemnification agreements that the Registrant has entered into with its directors and executive officers may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against the Registrant&#146;s directors and executive officers
for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against the Registrant&#146;s directors and executive officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit the Registrant and other
stockholders. Further, a stockholder&#146;s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that the Registrant pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and executive officers as required by these indemnification
provisions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The Registrant has obtained insurance policies under which, subject to the limitations of the policies, coverage is provided
to the Registrant&#146;s directors and executive officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of fiduciary duty or other wrongful acts as a director or executive officer, including claims relating to public securities matters,
and to the Registrant with respect to payments that may be made by the Registrant to these directors and executive officers pursuant to its indemnification obligations or otherwise as a matter of law. </P>
