The Board appointed Ms. Calderon to serve on the Audit Committee and Ms. Kemp to serve on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.</p>  <p align="justify">&#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Calderon or Ms. Kemp and any other person pursuant to which she was selected as a director, and there have been no transactions since the beginning of NTIC&#8217;s last fiscal year, or transactions currently proposed, regarding Ms. Calderon or Ms. Kemp that are required to be disclosed by Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. In connection with the election of Ms. Calderon and Ms. Kemp to the Board, NTIC entered into an Indemnification Agreement with each of Ms. Calderon and Ms. Kemp, in substantially the same form that NTIC has entered into with its other non-employee directors, pursuant to which NTIC has agreed to provide indemnification and advancement of expenses to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and NTIC&#8217;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws and continued director&#8217;s and officer&#8217;s liability insurance coverage.

These options will vest and become exercisable in full on October 22, 2020. Each of Ms. Calderon and Ms. Kemp will receive other compensation and participate in plans and policies on the same basis as the other non-employee directors of NTIC, as described on pages 49 to 52 in the Proxy Statement for the NTIC&#8217;s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on January 18, 2019, under the heading &#8220;Director Compensation.&#8221;</p> </font></p><p><font style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>  </strong></font></p><p><font style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Item 7.01.

to induce highly competent persons to serve the Company as directors or officers or in other capacities, the Company must provide
such persons with adequate protection through insurance and indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against
them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of the Company;</p>

difficulty in obtaining directors&rsquo; and officers&rsquo; liability insurance, the increases in the cost of such insurance and
the general reductions in the coverage of such insurance have increased the difficulty of attracting and retaining such persons;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 37.05pt; margin: 0pt 0">WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary
for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so
that they will continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified; and</p>

Disinterested Directors, if the Board of Directors, by the majority vote of Disinterested Directors, so directs, by Independent
Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee. Such Independent
Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors and approved by the Indemnitee. Upon failure of the Board of Directors to so

issues or matters. If it is so determined that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to the Indemnitee shall be
made within ten days after such determination.</p>

determination is made that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder or if the payment has not been timely made
following a determination of entitlement to indemnification pursuant to Sections 8 and 9, or if Expenses are not advanced pursuant
to Section&#160;10, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to a final adjudication in the Delaware Court of Chancery of the Indemnitee&rsquo;s
entitlement to such indemnification or advance. If a determination is made or deemed to have been made pursuant to the terms of
Section&#160;8 or Section&#160;9 hereof that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such
determination and shall be precluded from asserting that such determination has not been made or that the procedure by which such
determination was made is not valid, binding and enforceable. If the Delaware Court of Chancery shall determine that the Indemnitee
is entitled to any indemnification hereunder, the Company shall pay all reasonable Expenses actually incurred by the Indemnitee
in connection with such adjudication (including, but not limited to, any appellate proceedings).</p>

law, statute or rule which narrows the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its Board of Directors or an officer,
employee, agent or fiduciary, such change, to the extent not otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this
