  provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was, is or is threatened to be made, 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 such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or
  is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The
  indemnity may include expenses (including attorney&rsquo;s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
  incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he
  reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation&rsquo;s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
  had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who are, were or are
  threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reasons
  of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may
  include expenses (including attorneys&rsquo; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement
  of such action or suit, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
  corporation&rsquo;s best interests, provided that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer, director,
  employee or agent is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in
  the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or director has
  actually and reasonably incurred.</P>

  any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the

  6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
  The Company is incorporated under the laws of the
  State of Delaware. Section 145 ("Section 145") of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL")
  provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was, is or is threatened to be made, 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 such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or
  is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The
  indemnity may include expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
  incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he
  reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
  had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who are, were or are
  threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reasons
  of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may
  include expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement
  of such action or suit, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
  corporation's best interests, provided that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer, director,
  employee or agent is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in
  the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or director has
  actually and reasonably incurred.
  Section 145 further authorizes a 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 or enterprise, against
  any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the
  corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him under Section 145.
  The Company's amended and restated certificate
  of incorporation provides that we must indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL and must also
  pay expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon delivery of an undertaking, by or on behalf
  of an indemnified person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be
  indemnified under this section or otherwise.
  The indemnification rights set forth above shall
  not be exclusive of any other right which an indemnified person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of our amended
  and restated certificate of incorporation, our bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
  The Company maintains insurance to protect us and
  our directors and officers, subject to certain policy limits, deductible amounts and exclusions, against any expense, liability or loss,
  which such persons must pay resulting from claims made against them by reason of their being such directors or officers during the policy
  period for certain breaches of duty, omissions or other acts done or wrongfully attempted or alleged whether or not we would have the
  power to indemnify such persons against such expense, liability or loss under applicable law.

  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 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 SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§ 230.424(b) of this chapter)
  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 Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
  II-
  3
  (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)
  do not apply if 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 SEC 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; and
  (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 SEC 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.
