  Corporation Law (the &ldquo;DGCL&rdquo;) 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

  corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&rsquo; fees), judgments, fines

  any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses (including attorneys&rsquo; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person

  that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the &ldquo;Court of Chancery&rdquo;) or the court in which such action or suit was

  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&rsquo; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith;

  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&rsquo;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

  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&rsquo;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 Incorporation limits the liability of the Registrant&rsquo;s directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, and the Registrant&rsquo;s
  Bylaws provide that the Registrant will indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by such law. The Registrant has entered into and
  expects to continue to enter into agreements to indemnify its directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by the Registrant&rsquo;s
  board of directors. Under the terms of such indemnification agreements, the Registrant 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&rsquo;s involvement
  was by reason of the fact that the indemnitee is or was the Registrant&rsquo;s director or officer or was serving at the Registrant&rsquo;s
  request in an official capacity for another entity. The Registrant must indemnify its officers and directors under the circumstances and
  to the extent provided for therein, from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal
  fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all threatened, pending or
  completed claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal,
  and including appeals, in which he or she may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, to the fullest extent
  permitted under the DGCL and the Registrant&rsquo;s Bylaws. The indemnification agreements also require the Registrant, 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 Registrant. Any claims
  for indemnification by the Registrant&rsquo;s directors and officers may reduce the Registrant&rsquo;s available funds to satisfy successful
  third-party claims against the Registrant and may reduce the amount of money available to the Registrant.</P>

  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.<BR STYLE="clear: both">

  Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
  Subsection (a) of Section 145 of the Delaware General
  Corporation Law (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 of the DGCL 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 of the State of Delaware (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 of the DGCL 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 Registrant's Certificate
  of Incorporation limits the liability of the Registrant's directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, and the Registrant's
  Bylaws provide that the Registrant will indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by such law. The Registrant has entered into and
  expects to continue to enter into agreements to indemnify its directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by the Registrant's
  board of directors. Under the terms of such indemnification agreements, the Registrant 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 the Registrant's director or officer or was serving at the Registrant's
  request in an official capacity for another entity. The Registrant must indemnify its officers and directors under the circumstances and
  to the extent provided for therein, from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal
  fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all threatened, pending or
  completed claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal,
  and including appeals, in which he or she may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, to the fullest extent
  permitted under the DGCL and the Registrant's Bylaws. The indemnification agreements also require the Registrant, 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 Registrant. Any claims
  for indemnification by the Registrant's directors and officers may reduce the Registrant's available funds to satisfy successful
  third-party claims against the Registrant and may reduce the amount of money available to the Registrant.

  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 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 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation
  of Registration Fee" table in this 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 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 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 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 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 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.
