    <div>Under applicable Connecticut law, the Registrant shall provide for indemnification of its directors, officers, employees and agents.&#160; Applicable Connecticut law requires the Registrant to indemnify a director against judgments and other expenses
      of litigation when he or she is sued by reason of his or her being a director in any proceeding brought, other than on behalf of the corporation, if a director is successful on the merits in defense, or acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably
      believed to be in the best interests of the corporation, and in all other cases that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or in a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
      or her conduct was unlawful.&#160; In a proceeding brought on behalf of a corporation (a derivative action), a director is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation for reasonable expenses of litigation, if the director is finally adjudged not to have
      breached his duty to the corporation.&#160; In addition, a director is entitled to indemnification for both derivative and non-derivative actions, if a court determines, upon application, that the director is fairly and reasonably entitled to be
      indemnified.&#160; Finally, the Registrant maintains director and officer liability insurance which provides insurance for the Registrant&#8217;s directors and officers in connection with claims brought against them in their capacity as such with the
      Registrant.</div>

    <div>Article IX of the Company&#8217;s By-laws provides that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers.</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div>Article Ninth of the Registrant&#8217;s Certificate of Incorporation limits directors&#8217; monetary liability for actions or omissions made in good faith, which are later determined to be a breach of their duty as directors of the Registrant.&#160; Article Ninth
      does not eliminate or limit a director's liability for breaches of fiduciary duty for actions or omissions which (i) involved a knowing and culpable violation of law; (ii) enabled a director or an associate (as defined in Section 33-840 of the
      Connecticut Business Corporation Act) to receive an improper personal economic gain; (iii) showed a lack of good faith and conscious disregard for the director&#8217;s duty as a director under circumstances where the director was aware that the director&#8217;s
      actions created an unjustifiable risk of serious injury to the Registrant; (iv) constituted a sustained and unexcused pattern of inattention that amounted to an abdication of duty; or (v) involved the improper distribution of Registrant assets to its
      shareholders or an improper loan to an officer, director or 5% shareholder.&#160; Article Ninth also does not preclude suits for equitable relief, such as an injunction, nor would it shield directors from liability for violations of the federal securities
      laws.&#160; Moreover, Article Ninth does not limit the liability of directors for any act or omission that occurred prior to the date the Article became effective and does not limit the potential liability of officer-directors in their capacity as
      officers.</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div>In addition, the Registrant entered into certain customary indemnification agreements with its directors. These agreements require the Registrant to provide indemnification and expense reimbursement in certain circumstances.</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div>The Registrant also purchased and maintains directors&#8217; and officers&#8217; liability insurance that covers certain liabilities and expenses of its directors and officers or any person who is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the
      Registrant or is or was serving or who has agreed to serve at the request of the Registrant as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise and that covers the Registrant for reimbursement of
      payments to its directors and officers and such persons in respect of such liabilities and expenses, provided that such insurance is available on acceptable terms, which determination shall be made by a vote of a majority of the entire Board of
      Directors of the Registrant.</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div>The foregoing is only a general summary of certain aspects of Connecticut law, the Registrant&#8217;s Certificate of Incorporation and the Registrant&#8217;s By-laws dealing with indemnification of directors and officers and does not purport to be complete.
      It is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of those sections of Connecticut law referenced above, the Registrant&#8217;s Certificate of Incorporation and the Registrant&#8217;s By-laws and the indemnification agreements referenced

      to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to
      be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents with the Commission.  Any statement contained in a document incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the
      extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.  Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be

Description of Securities.

Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Except as described in Exhibit 5.1, none.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under applicable Connecticut law, the Registrant shall provide for indemnification of its directors, officers, employees and agents.  Applicable Connecticut law requires the Registrant to indemnify a director against judgments and other expenses
      of litigation when he or she is sued by reason of his or her being a director in any proceeding brought, other than on behalf of the corporation, if a director is successful on the merits in defense, or acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably
      believed to be in the best interests of the corporation, and in all other cases that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or in a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
      or her conduct was unlawful.  In a proceeding brought on behalf of a corporation (a derivative action), a director is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation for reasonable expenses of litigation, if the director is finally adjudged not to have
      breached his duty to the corporation.  In addition, a director is entitled to indemnification for both derivative and non-derivative actions, if a court determines, upon application, that the director is fairly and reasonably entitled to be
      indemnified.  Finally, the Registrant maintains director and officer liability insurance which provides insurance for the Registrant's directors and officers in connection with claims brought against them in their capacity as such with the
      Registrant.
3
Article IX of the Company's By-laws provides that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers.
Article Ninth of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation limits directors' monetary liability for actions or omissions made in good faith, which are later determined to be a breach of their duty as directors of the Registrant.  Article Ninth
      does not eliminate or limit a director's liability for breaches of fiduciary duty for actions or omissions which (i) involved a knowing and culpable violation of law; (ii) enabled a director or an associate (as defined in Section 33-840 of the
      Connecticut Business Corporation Act) to receive an improper personal economic gain; (iii) showed a lack of good faith and conscious disregard for the director's duty as a director under circumstances where the director was aware that the director's
      actions created an unjustifiable risk of serious injury to the Registrant; (iv) constituted a sustained and unexcused pattern of inattention that amounted to an abdication of duty; or (v) involved the improper distribution of Registrant assets to its
      shareholders or an improper loan to an officer, director or 5% shareholder.  Article Ninth also does not preclude suits for equitable relief, such as an injunction, nor would it shield directors from liability for violations of the federal securities
      laws.  Moreover, Article Ninth does not limit the liability of directors for any act or omission that occurred prior to the date the Article became effective and does not limit the potential liability of officer-directors in their capacity as
      officers.
In addition, the Registrant entered into certain customary indemnification agreements with its directors. These agreements require the Registrant to provide indemnification and expense reimbursement in certain circumstances.
The Registrant also purchased and maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance that covers certain liabilities and expenses of its directors and officers or any person who is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the
      Registrant or is or was serving or who has agreed to serve at the request of the Registrant as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise and that covers the Registrant for reimbursement of
      payments to its directors and officers and such persons in respect of such liabilities and expenses, provided that such insurance is available on acceptable terms, which determination shall be made by a vote of a majority of the entire Board of
      Directors of the Registrant.
The foregoing is only a general summary of certain aspects of Connecticut law, the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and the Registrant's By-laws dealing with indemnification of directors and officers and does not purport to be complete.
      It is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of those sections of Connecticut law referenced above, the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and the Registrant's By-laws and the indemnification agreements referenced
      above.

Undertakings.
A.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act");
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
              in the information set forth in this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
              securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
              in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Filing Fee Tables" or the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table, as
              applicable, in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to
                  the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such
              securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4)
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the
              undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following
              communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: (i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the
              offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; (iii) the portion of
              any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and (iv) any other communication that is an
              offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

B.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where
              applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
              the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
C.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling person of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
              advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
              than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
              person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
              indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
