#### Director Independence
Our Board of Directors has determined that each of Avi Zeevi, Harvey Golub, Dan Petrozzo, Alison Davis and Asheet Mehta is an “independent director” under the Nasdaq rules.

Our Board of Directors has further determined that each Director who is expected to serve as a member of the Audit Committee following the Annual Meeting, subject to shareholder approval, is “independent” for purposes of Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act and that each member of the compensation committee of our Board of Directors satisfies the additional independence requirements applicable to compensation committees under the Nasdaq rules. All members of our Audit Committee also are financially sophisticated as required by the Nasdaq’s listing rules, and our Board of Directors has determined that Avi Zeevi and Alison Davis qualifies as an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of SEC regulations and meets the financial sophistication requirements of the rules.

We currently follow the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq with respect to having a majority of our board of directors consist of independent directors.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee periodically reviews and recommends for approval by the Board criteria for membership on the Board and the skills and characteristics required of Board members. Among the qualifications considered in the selection of director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers experience, skills, expertise, diversity, personal and professional integrity, character, business judgment, time availability in light of other commitments, dedication, potential conflicts of interest and such other relevant factors that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers appropriate in the context of the needs of the Board.
