Although the furnishing of such<br \/>\ninsurance has been a customary and widespread practice among United States-based<br \/>\ncorporations and other business enterprises, the Company believes that, given<br \/>\ncurrent market conditions and trends, such insurance may be available to it in<br \/>\nthe future only at higher premiums and with more exclusions. At the same time,<br \/>\ndirectors and officers in service to corporations or business enterprises are<br \/>\nbeing increasingly subjected to expensive and time-consuming litigation relating<br \/>\nto, among other things, matters that traditionally would have been brought only<br \/>\nagainst the Company or business enterprise itself.<\/p>\n<p>WHEREAS, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides that the<br \/>\nCompany shall indemnify and advance expenses to all directors and officers of<br \/>\nthe Company in the manner set forth therein and to the fullest extent permitted<br \/>\nby applicable law, and the Company153s Certificate of Incorporation provides for<br \/>\nlimitation of liability for directors. In addition, Indemnitee may be entitled<br \/>\nto indemnification pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of<br \/>\nDelaware (&#8220;<strong>DGCL<\/strong>&#8220;).

Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue<br \/>\nto serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on<br \/>\nthe condition that he or she be so indemnified.<\/p>\n<p>NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained<br \/>\nherein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">ARTICLE 1<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">CERTAIN DEFINITIONS<\/p>\n<p>(a) As used in this Agreement:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>Change of Control<\/strong>&#8221;
