</div>
<div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">We define fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer
a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. This is sometimes referred to as
an “exit price”. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based
on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, also taking
into consideration the principal or most advantageous market in which market participants would
transact and the market based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use
in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk and credit risk. We apply the following
fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

<div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">This hierarchy requires us to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the
use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. On a recurring basis, we measure certain
financial assets and liabilities at fair value, which consist of our cash equivalents and
marketable securities.
