Registrant is a California corporation and is subject to the California Corporations Code (the &ldquo;California Code&rdquo;). Section
317 of the California Code authorizes a corporation to indemnify, subject to certain exceptions, any person who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment
in its favor) by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of the corporation, as the term &ldquo;agent&rdquo; is defined
in Section 317(a) of the California Code, against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred
in connection with such proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the best
interests of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of such person
was unlawful. A corporation is further authorized to indemnify, subject to certain exceptions, any person 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 corporation to procure a judgment
in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was an agent of the corporation, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred
by that person in connection with the defense or settlement of the action if the person acted in good faith, in a manner the person believed
to be in the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders.</FONT></P>

204 of the California Code provides that a corporation&rsquo;s articles of incorporation may not limit the liability of directors (i)
for acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii) for acts or omissions that
a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith
on the part of the director, (iii) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit, (iv) for acts or omissions
that show a reckless disregard for the director&rsquo;s duty to the corporation or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director
was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a director&rsquo;s duties, of a risk of a serious injury to
the corporation or its shareholders, (v) for acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an
abdication of the director&rsquo;s duty to the corporation or its shareholders, (vi) under Section 310 of the California Code (concerning
transactions between corporations and directors or corporations having interrelated directors) or (vii) under Section 316 of the California
Code (concerning directors&rsquo; liability for distributions, loans, and guarantees).</FONT></P>

no effect on claims arising under federal or state securities laws and does not affect the availability of injunctions and other equitable
remedies available to a corporation&rsquo;s shareholders for any violation of a director&rsquo;s fiduciary duty to the corporation or
its shareholders.</FONT></P>

officers may incur as a result of or in connection with the defense of any proceeding brought against them as to which they could be

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.</FONT></P>
