threatened, pending or completed action, suit, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, administrative hearing or any other proceeding to which any of them is, or is threatened to be, made a party by reason of their status as a
director, officer or agent of the Registrant, or by reason of their serving as a director, officer or agent of another company at its request. In addition, the Registrant&#146;s charter and bylaws require it to indemnify its present and former
directors and any individual who served as a director of a predecessor of the Registrant for any liability incurred in their official capacity, and to pay or reimburse their reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding, to the
fullest extent permitted under Maryland law. The Registrant&#146;s charter and bylaws permit it, with the approval of its board of directors, to indemnify and to pay or reimburse the expenses of any officer, employee or agent of the Registrant or a
predecessor of the Registrant, to the maximum extent permitted under Maryland law. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Maryland General Corporation Law, or MGCL, permits a Maryland corporation to indemnify its present and
former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made, or threatened to be made, a party by reason
of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (a)&nbsp;the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (1)&nbsp;was committed in bad faith or (2)&nbsp;was the
result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b)&nbsp;the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c)&nbsp;in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable
cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that
personal benefit was improperly received. A court may order indemnification if it determines that the director is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, even though the director did not meet the prescribed standard of conduct or was
adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received; however, indemnification for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation, or for a judgment of liability on the basis that personal benefit was
improperly received, is limited to expenses. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, the MGCL permits a Maryland corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a
director or officer upon the corporation&#146;s receipt of (a)&nbsp;a written affirmation by the director or officer of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation and (b)&nbsp;a
written undertaking by him or on his behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the corporation if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met. In addition, the Registrant has obtained directors and officers
liability insurance, which covers its directors and executive officers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:18px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

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>

Participant of one or more personal objectives and/or goals that the Committee deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, implementation of Company policies, negotiation of significant corporate transactions, development of long-term business

event a Performance Goal is not established for a performance period for a Participant for whom a Performance Goal was in effect for the preceding performance period, the Performance Goal for such Participant for the preceding performance period
shall be treated as the Performance Goal for such Participant for the current performance period. The use of a performance period that is less than a full year shall not require any reduction to the limitations on maximum permitted bonus payments
