<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">therein. Pursuant to Section&nbsp;60.047(2)(d) of the OBCA, Article IV of the Company&#146;s Second Restated Articles of Incorporation (the
&#147;Articles&#148;) eliminates the personal liability of the Company&#146;s directors to the Company or its shareholders, except for any liability related to breach of the duty of loyalty, actions not in good faith and certain other liabilities.
The Articles require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by law. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Section&nbsp;60.387,
et seq., of the OBCA allows corporations to indemnify their directors and officers against liability where the director or officer has acted in good faith and with a reasonable belief that actions taken were in the best interests of the corporation
or at least not adverse to the corporation&#146;s best interests and, if in a criminal proceeding, the individual had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct in question was unlawful. Under the OBCA, corporations may not indemnify against
liability in connection with a claim by or in the right of the corporation in which the director or officer was adjudged liable to the corporation, but may indemnify against the reasonable expenses associated with such claims. Corporations may not
indemnify against breaches of the duty of loyalty. The OBCA mandates indemnification against all reasonable expenses incurred in the successful defense of any claim made or threatened whether or not such claim was by or in the right of the
corporation. Finally, a court may order indemnification if it determines that the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances whether or not the director or officer met the good
faith and reasonable belief standards of conduct set out in the statute. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The OBCA also provides that the statutory indemnification
provisions are not deemed exclusive of any other rights to which directors or officers may be entitled under a corporation&#146;s articles of incorporation or bylaws, any agreement, general or specific action of the board of directors, vote of
shareholders or otherwise. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:18px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>
