The Nominating and Governance
Committee also evaluates potential nominees for the Company’s Board to determine if they have any conflicts of interest that may
interfere with their ability to serve as effective board members and to determine whether they are “independent” in accordance
with applicable SEC and NASDAQ rules (to ensure that, at all times, at least a majority of our directors are independent). Although we
do not have a separate diversity policy, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers the diversity of the Company’s directors
and nominees in terms of knowledge, experience, skills, expertise and other factors that may contribute to the effectiveness of the Company’s
Board.

Prior to nominating or, if
applicable, recommending an existing director for re-election to the Company’s Board, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers
and reviews the following attributes with respect to each sitting director:

| · | attendance and performance at meetings of the Company’s Board and the committees on which such director serves;                                     |
| · | length of service on the Company’s Board;                                                                                                           |
