 limited to: presiding over all meetings of the Board of Directors at which the Chair of the Board of Directors is not present, including any executive sessions of the independent directors; approving Board meeting schedules and agendas; and acting as the liaison between the independent directors and the Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that, at such times as the Chair of the Board of Directors qualifies as independent, the Chair of the Board will serve as lead independent director.

The positions of our Chair of the Board and our Chief Executive Officer and President currently are served by two separate persons. Ms. Berman serves as the Chair of our Board of Directors, and Dr. Zeskind serves as our Chief Executive Officer and President.

The Board of Directors believes that our current leadership structure of Dr. Zeskind serving as Chief Executive Officer and Ms. Berman, who qualifies as independent, serving as Chair of the Board is in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders and strikes the appropriate balance so as to allow Dr. Zeskind to focus on the strategic direction, day-to day-leadership and performance of our Company, while Ms. Berman presides over Board of Directors’ meetings, provides oversight of our corporate governance and leverages her extensive business and risk management experience to provide guidance to Dr. Zeskind. We recognize that different leadership structures may be appropriate for companies in different situations and at different points in time and believe that no one structure is suitable for all companies. Accordingly, the Board of Directors will continue to periodically review our leadership structure and make such changes in the future as it deems appropriate and in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders.

#### Director Independence
Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the Nasdaq Stock Market listing rules (the “Nasdaq rules”), a director is not independent unless the Board of Directors affirmatively determines that he or she does not have a direct or indirect material relationship with us or any of our subsidiaries that would interfere with the exercise of his or her independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In addition, a director must meet the bright-line and other tests for independence set forth by the Nasdaq rules including (if applicable) those related to committee service, as well as satisfy additional independence criteria set forth in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for audit and compensation committee service.
