Nomination Policies and Procedures

The Compensation Committee will accept for consideration any candidate properly recommended by a stockholder; acceptance of a recommendation for consideration does not imply the Board will approve the nomination or recommend the proposed candidate for nomination to stockholders.

Stockholders who wish to nominate qualified candidates to serve as directors must notify the Company in writing, by notice delivered to the attention of the Secretary of the Company at the address of the Company’s executive offices, of a proposed nominee. Submissions may be by mail or personal delivery. E-mail submissions will not be considered. In order to ensure meaningful consideration of such candidates, notice must be received no later than 50 calendar days prior to the first anniversary of the date of notice given to stockholders for the prior year’s annual meeting of stockholders.

The notice must set forth as to each proposed nominee:

| ● | the nominee’s name, age, business address and, if known, residence address, |

| ● | his or her principal occupation or employment and business experience, |

| ● | the number of shares of stock of the Company, if any, which are beneficially owned by such nominee, and |

| ● | any other information concerning the nominee that must be disclosed as to nominees in proxy solicitations pursuant to applicable law, including but not limited to any arrangements or agreements regarding the proposed candidate’s nomination, all relationships between the proposed nominee and the recommending stockholder and the Company, and all transactions between such parties. |

The notice must also set forth with respect to the stockholder proposing the nominee the name and address of such stockholder and the class and number of shares of the Company that are held of record, held beneficially and represented by proxy by such stockholder as of the record date for the meeting (if such date has been made publicly available) and as of the date of such notice.

Submissions received through this process will be forwarded to the Compensation Committee and Board for review. Only those submissions that comply with these procedures and those nominees who satisfy the qualifications deemed necessary for directors of the Company will be considered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as set forth in the Company’s By-laws, the Board shall not be obligated to include information as to any nominee for director in any proxy statement or other communication sent to stockholders except as required under applicable law.

When considering candidates, the Company strives to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience and accomplishment such that the Board reflects a diversity of talent, age, skill, expertise and perspective,
