Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses
(including attorneys&rsquo; 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 to the corporation. The Delaware General Corporation
Law provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any
bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
and bylaws provide for indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law.</P>

be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except
for liability (i) for any breach of the director&rsquo;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (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. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for such limitation of liability.</P>

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law 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 to the corporation. The Delaware General Corporation
Law provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any
bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
and bylaws provide for indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General
Corporation Law 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 shareholders 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 shareholders, (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. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for such limitation of liability.
We maintain standard policies of insurance
under which coverage is provided to our directors and officers against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty
or other wrongful act.
The above discussion of our amended certificate
of incorporation, bylaws and Sections 102(b)(7) and 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law is not intended to be exhaustive
and is qualified in its entirety by such amended certificate of incorporation, bylaws and statutes.

Item 9. Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)(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 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the ''Calculation of Registration Fee'' table 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) 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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, the Company certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on
