to enter into trading plans established according to Section 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act with an independent broker-dealer (“broker”)
designated by us. These plans may include specific instructions for the broker to exercise vested options and sell Company stock on behalf
of the executive officer at certain dates if our stock price is above a specified level or both. Under these plans, the executive officer
no longer has control over the decision to exercise and sell the securities in the plan unless he or she amends or terminates the trading
plan during a trading window. Plan modifications are not effective until the 31st day after adoption. The purpose of these plans is to
enable executive officers to recognize the value of their compensation and diversify their holdings of our stock during periods in which
the executive officer would be unable to sell our common stock because material information about us had not been publicly released. As
of the record date, no named executive officer had a trading plan in place. Under our insider trading policy, our directors, executive
officers, employees, associate or consultant of us or our subsidiaries may not trade or purchase any financial instruments (such as prepared
variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or exchange funds) or otherwise engaging in any transactions that hedges or offsets
any decrease in the market value of our stock.
