 regarding the scope of the indemnification set forth in the Registrant’s certificate of incorporation and to provide
additional procedural protections.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation
to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director or officer of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except for (i) a director’s or officer’s
breach of the director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) a director’s or officer’s
act or omission not in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) a director’s unlawful
payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL, (iv) a director or officer
for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit, and (v) an officer in any action by or in
the right of the Registrant. The Registrant’s certificate of incorporation provides for exculpation of its directors and officers
to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

The Registrant maintains standard policies of
insurance under which coverage is provided (a) to the Registrant’s directors and officers against loss arising from claims made
by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and (b) to the Registrant with respect to payments which may be made by the Registrant
to such officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.
