Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; Related Party Transaction Policy

We have adopted a Code of Business
Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”), which sets forth the basic principles and guidelines for resolving various legal and ethical
questions that may arise in the workplace and in the conduct of our business and was adopted within the meaning of Item 406(b) of Regulation
S- K. The Code is applicable to all our employees, including named executive officers and other officers, and directors.

Our Code requires all of our personnel
to be scrupulous in avoiding an actual or apparent conflict of interest regarding our interests. The Code prohibits us from entering a
business relationship with an immediate family member or with a company in which the employee or immediate family member has a substantial
financial interest unless such relationship is disclosed to and approved in advance by our Board of Directors. The Code is intended to
work in conjunction our other policies, including our Related Party Transactions Policy, which is described under “Certain Relationships
and Related Transactions.”

Each of our directors and executive
officers is required to complete an annual disclosure questionnaire and report all transactions with us in which they or their immediate
family members had or will have a direct or indirect material interest with respect to us. We review these questionnaires and, if we determine
it is necessary, discuss any reported transactions with the entire Board of Directors. Transactions that are subject to the Related Party
Transactions Policy are reported to our audit committee, as described under “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.”

If we make any substantive amendments
to the Code or grant any waiver, including any implicit waiver, we intend to disclose these events on our website.

Corporate Governance Guidelines; the Retirement Policy

We have adopted Corporate Governance
Guidelines, which, in conjunction with the charters and key practices of and policies adopted by our Board of Directors and its committees,
provide the framework for the governance of the Company. The Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that no individual may stand for
election to the Board beginning in the calendar year in which such individual had or will have his or her 75th birthday.
