Business Corporation Act (the &#147;North Carolina Act&#148;) enables a corporation in its articles of incorporation to eliminate or limit, with certain exceptions, the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for breach of their duties
as directors. No such provision is effective to eliminate or limit a director&#146;s liability for: (i)&nbsp;acts or omissions that the director at the time of the breach knew or believed to be clearly in conflict with the best interests of the

of the North Carolina Act; (iii)&nbsp;any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit; or (iv)&nbsp;acts or omissions occurring prior to the date the exculpatory
provision became effective. The Company&#146;s articles of incorporation, as amended, limit the personal liability of its directors to the fullest extent permitted by the North Carolina Act, as amended from time to time. Any repeal or modification
of this provision by the Company&#146;s shareholders will not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director of the Company existing at the time of the repeal or modification. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Sections 55-8-50 through 55-8-58 of the North Carolina Act permit a corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents
under either or both a statutory or nonstatutory scheme of indemnification. Under the statutory scheme, a corporation may, with certain exceptions, indemnify a director of the corporation who was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any
threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative because of the fact that such person was or is a director of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such
corporation as a director of another corporation or enterprise. This indemnity may include the obligation to pay any judgment, settlement, penalty, fine (including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan) or reasonable
expenses incurred in connection with a proceeding (including counsel fees), but no such indemnification may be granted unless such director (i)&nbsp;conducted himself in good faith, (ii)&nbsp;reasonably believed (a)&nbsp;that any action taken in his
official capacity with the corporation was in the best interests of the corporation or (b)&nbsp;that in all other cases his conduct was not opposed to the corporation&#146;s best interests, and (iii)&nbsp;in the case of any criminal proceeding, had
no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Whether a director has met the requisite standard of conduct for the type of indemnification set forth above is determined by a majority vote of a quorum of the board of directors (excluding
any director party to the proceeding at question), a committee of directors, special legal counsel or the shareholders in accordance with Section&nbsp;55-8-55 of the North Carolina Act. Under the statutory scheme, a corporation may not indemnify a
director in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which a director was adjudged liable to the corporation or in connection with any other proceeding in which a director was adjudged liable on the basis of having
received an improper personal benefit. Pursuant to Section&nbsp;55-8-56 of the North Carolina Act, a corporation may also indemnify officers, employees or agents under this statutory scheme. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Sections 55-8-52 and 55-8-56 of the North Carolina Act require a corporation, unless its articles of incorporation provide otherwise, to
indemnify a director or officer who has been wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which such director or officer was, or was threatened to be, made a party because he is or was a director or officer of
the corporation. Unless prohibited by the articles of incorporation, a director or officer also may make application and obtain court-ordered indemnification if the court determines that such director or officer is entitled to mandatory
indemnification under Section&nbsp;55-8-52 of the North Carolina Act or is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition to, and notwithstanding the conditions of and limitations on, the indemnification described above under the statutory scheme,
Section&nbsp;55-8-57 of the North Carolina Act permits a corporation, in its articles of incorporation or bylaws, by contract or by resolution, to indemnify, or agree to indemnify, any of its directors, officers, employees or agents against
liability and expenses (including counsel fees) in any proceeding (including proceedings brought by or on behalf of the corporation) arising out of their status as such or their activities in such capacities, except for any liabilities or expenses
incurred on account of activities that were, at the time taken, known or believed by the person to be clearly in conflict with the best interests of the corporation. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, Section&nbsp;55-8-57 of the North Carolina Act authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of an
individual who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against certain liabilities incurred by such a person, whether or not the corporation is otherwise authorized by the North Carolina Act to indemnify that person. The
Company has purchased and maintains such insurance. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s restated and amended bylaws provide that the Company shall

threatened or completed civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or arbitrative action, suit or proceeding, and any appeal therein (and any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such action, suit or proceeding), whether or not brought by

withhold. The bylaws also state that the rights of indemnification and reimbursement are not exclusive of other rights to which the director or former director may be entitled under any statute, agreement, insurance policy or otherwise. Upon the
death of the director or former director, the bylaws extend the rights of indemnification and reimbursement to such director&#146;s legal representative. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:18pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

officers and employees who may receive awards under the Plan will have complied with the relevant requirements of the Plan and that all prescribed filings with regulatory authorities, including any stock exchanges having jurisdiction, will be
effected in accordance with their respective requirements and that the approvals of such regulatory authorities, including any stock exchanges having jurisdiction, will have been granted prior to the issuance of any of the Shares. </P>

when originally issued and sold by the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan, and upon payment of the consideration payable therefor pursuant to the Plan, will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will represent
validly authorized and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The opinions expressed herein are limited to the corporation
