Item 4.
Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
None.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that:
"To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, this Corporation is authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) agents of this Corporation (and any other persons to which General Corporation Law permits this Corporation to provide indemnification) through bylaw provisions, agreements with such agents or other persons, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law, subject only to limits created by applicable General Corporation Law (statutory or non-statutory), with respect to actions for breach of duty to this Corporation, its stockholders, and others."
The Company's Bylaws under Article 10, Section 10.1 provide for indemnification for certain individuals acting on behalf of the Company, including its Officers and Directors to the fullest extent permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for liabilities incurred by reason of the fact that such person is or was acting in such capacity on behalf of the Company.  Delaware General Corporation Law generally provides for indemnification of officers and directors except (i) for any breach of a director's duty of loyalty to our company or our stakeholders (ii) acts and omission that are not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the general corporate law of the State of Delaware, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived any improper benefit.
The Company has a policy of insurance for its directors and officers. The limit of liability applicable to all insured directors and officers under the current policies, which will expire on November 14, 2015, is $5,000,000 in the aggregate, inclusive of defense costs. Under the policies, the Company has reimbursement coverage to the extent that it has indemnified the directors and officers in excess of a deductible of $250,000 for each loss of securities claims and non-securities claims. The total premium charged to the Company in respect of coverage for 2015 is $64,421, no part of which is or was payable by the directors of officers or the Company.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be conferred upon officers, directors and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act at and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Item 7.

Item 9.
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 United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended;
(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 hereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement;
(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 (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are incorporated by reference into this registration statement.
(2)           That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each such post-effective amendment 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.
(3)           To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)           The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that is incorporated by reference in this 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.
(h)           Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such 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 of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
