<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">The Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the &#8220;Act&#8221;) provides that, unless limited by its articles of incorporation, a Virginia corporation must indemnify a director or officer who is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she was a party because he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation against expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">The Act also permits a Virginia corporation to indemnify any director or officer who is party to a proceeding because he or she is or was a director or officer against any liability incurred if the director or officer (i) conducted himself or herself in good faith, (ii) believed, in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity, that such conduct was in the corporation&#8217;s best interests and, in all other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation&#8217;s best interests, and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. However, under the Act, a Virginia corporation may not indemnify any director or officer (i) in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, except for expenses incurred if it is determined that he or she has met the relevant standard of conduct or (ii) in connection with any proceeding in which he or she is adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him or her.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">The Act further permits a Virginia corporation to make any further indemnity, including indemnity with respect to a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, and to make additional provision for advances and reimbursement of expenses, to any director or officer that may be authorized by the articles of incorporation or any bylaw made by the shareholders or any resolution adopted, before or after the event, by the shareholders, except an indemnity against his or her willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Under the Act, in any proceeding brought by or in the right of a corporation or by or on behalf of the corporation&#8217;s shareholders, the damages assessed against a director or officer arising out of a single transaction, occurrence or course of conduct cannot exceed the lesser of (i) the monetary amount, including the elimination of liability, specified in the articles of incorporation or, if approved by shareholders, the bylaws; or (ii) the greater of $100,000 or the amount of cash compensation received by the officer or director from the corporation during the twelve months immediately preceding the act or omission for which liability was imposed. The liability of a director or officer is not limited, however, if the officer or director engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or any federal or state securities law, including, without limitation, any claim of unlawful insider trading or market manipulation.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">The Registrant&#8217;s Articles of Incorporation provide for mandatory indemnification of its current and former directors and officers against all liabilities and reasonable expenses incurred by them in proceedings instituted or threatened against them by third parties, or by or on behalf of the Registrant itself, relating to the manner in which they performed their duties except for liabilities and reasonable expenses as are incurred because of his or her willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">In addition, the Registrant maintains directors&#8217; and officers&#8217; liability insurance that may provide indemnification to our officers and directors in certain circumstances.</p>

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</td>
