Mr. Kennedy is also party to an indemnification agreement with the Company which requires the Company to indemnify Mr. Kennedy to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liability that may arise by reason of his service to the Company, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against him as to which he could be indemnified.

There are no arrangements between Mr. Kennedy and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Kennedy was elected to serve as a director of the Company, nor are there any transactions in which the Company is a participant in which Mr. Kennedy has a direct or indirect material interest. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Kennedy is an independent director within the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange and Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act"), as well as a "non-employee director" under Rule 16b-3(b)(3) of the Exchange Act and an "outside director" under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
