  Item 4. Description of Securities.

  Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
  Subsection (a) of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL") empowers
  a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or who is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by
  or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
  another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such
  action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable
  cause to believe the person's conduct was unlawful.
  Subsection (b) of Section 145 empowers a corporation
  to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, by reason of the fact that the person
  acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith
  and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of 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 the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all 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.
  Section 145 further provides that to the extent a director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits
  or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including
  attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith; that indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled;
  and the indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of such
  person's heirs, executors and administrators. Section 145 also empowers the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
  serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any
  such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liabilities under Section 145.
  Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a corporation's certificate of incorporation may contain a provision
  eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a
  director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
  Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Additionally, the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation limits the liability of the
  Company's directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, and the Company's bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by such law. The Company has entered into and expects to continue
  to
  enter into agreements to indemnify its directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by the Company's board of directors. Under the terms of such indemnification
  agreements, the Company is required to indemnify each of its directors and officers, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, if the basis of the indemnitee's involvement was by reason of the fact that the
  indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Company or was serving at the Company's request in an official capacity for another entity. The Company must indemnify its officers and directors against all reasonable fees, expenses, charges
  and other costs of any type or nature whatsoever, including any and all expenses and obligations paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in, participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a
  witness or participate in any completed, actual, pending or threatened action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, or establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification under the indemnification
  agreement. The indemnification agreements also require the Company, if so requested, to advance all reasonable fees, expenses, charges and other costs that such director or officer incurred, provided that such person will return any such advance if
  it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification by the Company. Any claims for indemnification by the Company's directors and officers may reduce the Company's available funds to satisfy successful
  third-party claims against the Company and may reduce the amount of money available to the Company.

  Item 9. Undertakings.
  A. The Company 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
  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. 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% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Filing
  Fees Tables" or "Calculation of Registration Fee" table, as applicable, in the effective 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) shall not apply if the registration statement is on Form
  S-8,
  and 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 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 Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
  any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company'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 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.
  C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
  Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
  person of the Company 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 Company 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 of 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.
