In connection with Ms. Choka’s appointment to the Board, the Company entered into an Indemnification Agreement with Ms. Choka (the “Indemnification Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company will be required to indemnify Ms. Choka to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liability that may arise by reason of her service to the Company and to advance her expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against her to which she could be indemnified.
