Indemnifications to Officers and Directors
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements, a form of which is incorporated by reference in the exhibits of this report, with
the members of our board of directors to indemnify them to the extent permitted by law against any and all liabilities, costs, expenses, amounts
paid in settlement and damages incurred by the directors as a result of any lawsuit, or any judicial, administrative or investigative proceeding in
which the directors are sued as a result of their service as members of our board of directors.
Intellectual Property Indemnification Obligations
The Company has entered into agreements with customers and suppliers that include limited intellectual property indemnification
obligations that are customary in the industry. These guarantees generally require the Company to compensate the other party for certain
damages and costs incurred as a result of third party intellectual property claims arising from these transactions. The nature of the intellectual
property indemnification obligations prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be
required to pay to its customers and suppliers. Historically, the Company has not made any significant indemnification payments under such
agreements and no amount has been accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification
obligations.
