(d)    On November 11, 2013, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company increased the number of directors comprising the Board to twelve and elected Alex J. Mandl as a Class III Director of the Company to serve until the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Robert V.

Mr. Mandl and Mr. Stanek were elected upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board.

In the event that the Company does not assume the defense of a claim against either Mr. Mandl or Mr. Stanek, as applicable, the Company will be required to advance his expenses in connection with his defense of that claim, provided that he undertakes to repay all amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.
