INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:24.5pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Section&#160;102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (&quot;DGCL&quot;), as amended, allows a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware law or obtained an improper personal benefit.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:24.5pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Section&#160;145 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, agent or employee of the corporation or is or was serving at the corporation&#8217;s request as a director, officer, agent, or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys&#8217; fees, judgment, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. The power to indemnify applies (a)&#160;if such person is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding or (b)&#160;if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interest, or not opposed to the best interest, of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The power to indemnify applies to actions brought by or in the right of the corporation as well, but only to the extent of defense expenses (including attorneys&#8217; fees but excluding amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred and not to any satisfaction of judgment or settlement of the claim itself, and with the further limitation that in such actions no indemnification shall be made in the event of any adjudication of negligence or misconduct in the performance of duties to the corporation, unless the court believes that in light of all the circumstances indemnification should apply.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:24.5pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Section&#160;174 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a director, who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption, may be held liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved or dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered in the books containing the minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such absent director receives notice of the unlawful acts.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:24.5pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The registrant&#8217;s certificate of incorporation, as amended, eliminates, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, a director&#8217;s personal liability to the registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:24.5pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In addition, the registrant&#8217;s by-laws provide that the registrant will indemnify its officers and directors to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware and the employment agreements with the registrant&#8217;s executive officers provide that the registrant will indemnify them to the full extent provided by the DGCL.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><font style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">-4-</p></div></div><hr style="background-color:#000000;clear:both;color:#000000;height:2pt;line-height:0;margin-bottom:30pt;margin-left:10.35%;margin-right:10.35%;margin-top:30pt;page-break-after:always;width:79.3%;border-width:0;"><div style="max-width:100%;padding-left:10.35%;padding-right:10.35%;position:relative;"><div style="margin-top:30pt;width:100%;"><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-size:1pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p></div><div style="clear:both;max-width:100%;position:relative;"><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">ITEM&#160;7.
