Law (the &ldquo;DGCL&rdquo;) provides that a Delaware corporation has the power 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, 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 in
such capacity in another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&rsquo;
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&rsquo;s conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action or suit brought by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification
of any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation (or person serving at the request of the corporation in such capacity
in another enterprise) against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement
of such action or suit is permitted if such 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; however, no indemnification is permitted 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 Delaware 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 Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.</P>

expenses (including attorneys&rsquo; fees) incurred by any and all of its directors and officers in connection with any threatened,

that, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Registrant shall not be obligated to indemnify any director
or officer in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof)
was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Registrant. The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its
executive officers and directors which would require it, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities which
may arise by reason of their status or service as a director or officer and to advance to them expenses, subject to reimbursement
to the Company if it is determined that they are not entitled to indemnification.</P>

The legality of the shares of common stock

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and
    Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law (the "DGCL") provides that a Delaware corporation has the power 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, 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 in
such capacity in 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. In the case of an action or suit brought by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification
of any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation (or person serving at the request of the corporation in such capacity
in another enterprise) against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement
of such action or suit is permitted if such 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; however, no indemnification is permitted 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 Delaware 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 Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation
provides that the Registrant shall, to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the DGCL, (i) indemnify its directors and
officers from and against any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees), liabilities and other matters and (ii) advance
expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by any and all of its directors and officers in connection with any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative; provided, however,
that, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Registrant shall not be obligated to indemnify any director
or officer in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof)
was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Registrant. The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its
executive officers and directors which would require it, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities which
may arise by reason of their status or service as a director or officer and to advance to them expenses, subject to reimbursement
to the Company if it is determined that they are not entitled to indemnification.
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 (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) for unlawful payments of dividends
or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived
an improper personal benefit. The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the personal liability of a director
to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the DGCL.
Under the DGCL, a Delaware corporation has
the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation or is or was serving in such capacity at the request of the corporation for another enterprise, against any liability
asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as
such, whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against
such liability under the Section 145 of the DGCL. The Registrant maintains, at its expense, an insurance policy that insures the
directors and officers of the Registrant, subject to certain exclusions and deductions, against certain liabilities that they
may incur in their capacity as such.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
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;
(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;
(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
(1)(i) and (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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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.
The undersigned Registrant
hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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.
Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements
for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized, in the City of Stamford, State of Connecticut, on May 24, 2019.
