 successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity. Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made or threatened to be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that:

| • |     | the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and 
 (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty;                  |

| • |     | the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or |

| • |     | in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or 
 omission was unlawful.                                                                                          |

Under Maryland law, a Maryland corporation also may not indemnify a director or officer in a suit by or on behalf of the corporation in which the director or officer was adjudged liable to the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received. A court may order indemnification if it determines that the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, even though the director or officer did not meet the prescribed standard of conduct; however, indemnification for an adverse judgment in a suit by or on behalf of the corporation, or for a judgment of liability on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received, is limited to expenses. II-1

In addition, the MGCL permits a Maryland corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon the corporation’s receipt of:

| • |     | a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the 
 standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation; and                                   |

| • |     | a written unsecured undertaking by the director or officer or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or    
 reimbursed by the corporation if it is ultimately determined that he or she did not meet the standard of conduct. |

The Company’s charter authorizes it, and the Company’s bylaws obligate it, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time, to indemnify and, without requiring a preliminary determination of
