  incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is

  6.  Indemnification of Officers and Directors
  Section 145 of the Delaware
  General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees
  and individuals against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
  incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is
  made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the registrant. The DGCL provides
  that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaws, agreement,
  vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification by us of our
  directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
  Section
  102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its Certificate of Incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not
  be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for
  liability (1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions
  not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful
  stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
  benefit. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides for such limitation of liability to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
  We
  maintain standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (1) to our directors and officers against loss arising from
  claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, while acting in their capacity as our directors and officers, and (2)
  to us with respect to payments which may be made by us to such officers and directors pursuant to any indemnification provision contained
  in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws or otherwise as a matter of law.

  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, as amended (the "Securities Act");
  (ii) to
  reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the 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 the registration
  statement. 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant
  to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
  offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
  (iii) to
  include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
  material change to such information in the registration statement;
  provided,
  however
  , that: Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section 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 Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section
  13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") that are incorporated by reference
  in the 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 therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
  be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
  II-
  3
  (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 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 persons 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.
