 or agent of
another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, nonprofit entity or other enterprise, including service
with respect to employee benefit plans, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, fines,
penalties, ERISA excise taxes, amounts paid or payable in settlement, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes, and all other charges
paid or payable by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such Proceeding if such person acted in good faith and
in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the Company’s best interests, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

The Company’s Bylaws
further state that this indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified person may be entitled,
and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of that person.

Article VIII of
the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation includes provisions regarding indemnification of directors and officers of the Company
which are similar to those contained in Article VI of the Company’s Bylaws.

The Company has entered
into indemnification agreements with certain of its directors and executive officers. Those indemnification agreements require that the
Company, among other things, (i) indemnify its directors and officers against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their
status or service as directors or officers (other than liabilities arising from actions not taken in good faith or in a manner the indemnitee
believed to be opposed to the Company’s best interests), (ii) advance the expenses such directors or executive officers may
incur as a result of or in connection with the defense of any proceeding brought against them as to which they could be indemnified, subject
to an undertaking by the indemnified party to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification,
and (iii) obtain officers’ & directors’ liability insurance if available on reasonable terms.

The Company maintains
standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (a) to directors and officers of the Company against loss arising
from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and (b) to the Company with respect to payments which may be
made by it to such officers and directors pursuant to
