Each member of the Audit Committee shall meet the independence requirements of The NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC, and the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as any other applicable requirements. In addition to the enumerated responsibilities of the Audit Committee in the Audit Committee Charter, the primary function of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in its general oversight of the Company's accounting and financial reporting processes, audits of its financial statements, and internal control and audit functions. A copy of the Company's Audit Committee Charter is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

On March 25, 2016, the Board established a compensation committee (the "Compensation Committee") and approved and adopted a charter (the "Compensation Committee Charter") to govern the Compensation Committee. Pursuant to the Compensation Committee Charter, the Compensation Committee shall be comprised of three (3) or more directors who shall be appointed by the Board and subject to removal by the Board at any time. At least two members of the Compensation Committee shall (i) be "non-employee directors" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and (ii) be "outside directors" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. In addition to the enumerated responsibilities of the Compensation Committee in the Compensation Committee Charter, the primary function of the Compensation Committee is to oversee the compensation of the Company's executives, produce an annual report on executive compensation for inclusion in the Company's proxy statement, if and when required by applicable laws or regulations, and advise the Board on the adoption of policies that govern the Company's compensation programs. A copy of the Company's Compensation Committee Charter is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

On March 25, 2016, the Board established a governance and nominating committee (the "Governance Committee") and approved and adopted a charter (the "Governance Committee Charter") to govern the Governance Committee. Pursuant to the Governance Committee Charter, the Governance Committee shall be comprised of three (3) or more directors who shall be appointed by the Board and subject to removal by the Board at any time. Each member of the Governance Committee may or may not meet the independence requirements established by the Board and applicable laws, regulations, and listing requirements of The NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC. In addition to the enumerated responsibilities of the Governance Committee in the Governance Committee Charter, the primary function of the Governance Committee is to determine the slate of director nominees for election to the Board, to identify and recommend candidates to fill vacancies occurring between annual stockholder meetings, to review the Company's policies and programs that relate to matters of corporate responsibility, including public issues of significance to the Company and its stockholders, and any other related matters required by federal securities laws.
