The purpose of the Committee is to assist the Board in discharging the Board's responsibilities regarding the offering from time to time (an 'Offering') of securities of the Company ('Securities'), including, without limitation, (a) shares of common stock ('Common Stock'), (b) shares of preferred stock ('Preferred Stock'), (c) debt securities ('Debt Securities'), and (d) other rights or warrants to purchase Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Debt Securities and/or Securities. For avoidance of doubt, the Committee is not responsible for advising the Board on issuances of securities to participants under any of the Company's equity incentive plans.

Section 2. oRGANIZATION
2.1. Independence. The Committee will be comprised of two or more directors as determined by the Board and each such committee member will satisfy the independence requirements of The NASDAQ Stock Market ('NASDAQ'). In addition, each member of the Committee shall qualify as an 'outside director' within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and shall be a 'non-employee director' within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the 'Exchange Act').

The Board may remove members of the Committee from such Committee at any time, with or without cause. In the event that the removal or resignation of a Committee member, or any other occurrence which renders a member unable to discharge his or her duties with the respect to the Committee, causes the number of members then serving on the Committee to be fewer than two, the Board shall promptly designate a successor.
2.3. Subcommittees. The Committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees, each consisting of one or more of its members, with such powers as the Committee shall from time to time confer. Each subcommittee shall keep minutes of its meetings and report them to the Committee.
