Election of New Director

On August 16, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") appointed David M. Sparby to the Board, effective August 16, 2018, to serve until the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Board has determined that Mr. Sparby will serve on the Audit Committee.

The Board considered the independence of Mr. Sparby under the applicable standards and determined that Mr. Sparby is an independent director. In connection with his appointment, the Company will enter into an indemnification agreement with Mr. Sparby, which will provide, among other things, that the Company will indemnify Mr. Sparby to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Delaware law and in excess of that expressly permitted by statute, but not to the extent prohibited by law. The terms of the indemnification agreement are described in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, dated August 12, 2010, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 17, 2010 (File No. 1-3480) , which description is incorporated herein by reference.
