Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 102 of the General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware ("DGCL") permits a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation
to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached
his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment
of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.
Our certificate of incorporation provides that no director of the Registrant shall be personally liable to it or its stockholders for
monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability, except
to the extent that the DGCL prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation
has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or a person serving at the request of the corporation
for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in related capacities against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with an action, suit
or proceeding to which he was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, ending or completed action, suit or
proceeding by reason of such position, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made
with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and
only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court
of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
The Company's certificate of incorporation
and bylaws provide that it will indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law, as it now exists or may hereafter be amended, any
person made or threatened to be made a party to any action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative (an
 "Action"), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company or any predecessor of the
Company or, while a director or officer, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent
of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee
benefit plans (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement or other disposition that the Indemnified Person actually and reasonably incurs
in connection with the Action and shall reimburse each such person for all legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred by such person
in seeking to enforce its rights to indemnification (by means of legal action or otherwise). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
the Company shall be required to indemnify a person in connection with an Action (or part thereof) commenced by such person only if the
commencement of such Action (or part thereof) by the person was authorized in the specific case by the Company's Board of Directors.
The Company maintains a general liability insurance
policy that covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of our corporation arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in
their capacities as directors or officers.
