The
board of directors reviews on an annual basis the appropriate characteristics, skills and experience required for the board of directors
as a whole and its individual members. In evaluating the suitability of individual candidates (both new candidates and current members),
the board of directors, in approving (and, in the case of vacancies, appointing) such candidates, will take into account many factors,
including the following:

    ●
    personal
    and professional integrity;

    ●
    ethics
    and values;

    ●
    experience
    in the industries in which we compete;

    ●
    experience
    as a director or executive officer of another publicly held company;

    ●
    diversity
    of expertise and experience in substantive matters pertaining to our business relative to other board members;

    ●
    conflicts
    of interest; and

    ●
    practical
    business judgment.

The
entire Board participates in the nomination and audit oversight processes and considers executive and director compensation. Given the
size of the Company and its stage of development, the entire Board is involved in such decision-making processes. Thus, there is a potential
conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations,
and audit issues that may affect management decisions. We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executive
officers or directors.

Family
Relationships

There
are no family relationships between our directors or executive officers.

Involvement
in Certain Legal Proceedings

There
are no legal proceedings that have occurred within the past ten years concerning our directors, or control persons which involved a criminal
conviction, a criminal proceeding, an administrative or civil proceeding limiting one’s participation in the securities or banking
industries, or a finding of securities or commodities law violations.

Delinquent
Section 16(a) Reports 

Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than
10% percent of our equity securities (“Reporting Persons”) to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the
SEC. Based solely on our review of copies of such reports and representations from the
