Article IV of the Registrant&#8217;s Amended and Restated By-Laws states that the Registrant shall indemnify and hold harmless its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware. The Registrant has also entered into an indemnification agreement with each of its directors and executive officers. Such agreement provides that the Registrant shall indemnify, and advance expenses, to the indemnified person to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in effect on the date of such agreement and to such greater extent as thereafter permitted by law. The agreement is governed by Delaware law. Such rights to indemnification and expense advancement are provided when the indemnified person is, or is threatened to be made, a party to certain proceedings or is a witness in such proceedings because of his or her role as a director or officer of the Registrant. The indemnification agreement remains in effect for 10 years after the indemnified person ceases to be an officer or director of the Registrant, or until final termination of all proceedings in which he or she is protected under the agreement, whichever is later.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;text-indent:36pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#8220;DGCL&#8221;) provides that a corporation may indemnify any persons, including officers and directors, who are, or are threatened to be made, parties 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 a director, officer, 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 attorneys&#8217; 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 director, officer, employee or agent 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 that the person&#8217;s conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director 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 that such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred. </font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;text-indent:36pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">The indemnification permitted under the DGCL is not exclusive, and pursuant to Section 145 of the DGCL, a corporation is empowered to purchase and maintain insurance against liabilities whether or not indemnification would be permitted by statute. The directors and officers of the Registrant are covered by a policy of insurance under which they are insured, within limits and subject to certain limitations, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of actions, suits or proceedings, and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result of such actions, suits or proceedings, in which they are parties by reason of being or having been directors or officers, including actions, suits or proceedings arising out of any actual or alleged error, misstatement, misleading statement, act or omission, or neglect or breach of duty. The Registrant is similarly insured, under such policy, with respect to certain payments it might be required to make to its directors or officers in accordance with applicable law and the provisions of the Registrant&#8217;s Amended and Restated By-Laws relating to indemnification. </font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;text-indent:36pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">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 duties as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of a director&#8217;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for improper payment of dividends, stock purchases or redemptions of shares, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.

Jill E. Ferguson, who is providing an opinion on the legality of the Common Stock being registered hereby, is Corporate Legal Director and Assistant Secretary of the Registrant. As an employee of the Registrant, Jill E. Ferguson has participated or is eligible to participate in employee benefit plans of the Registrant on the same basis as other similarly eligible employees. Pursuant to such plans, she owns or has other rights to acquire an aggregate of less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Registrant's Common Stock.
Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of any statutes referred to below and the restated certificate of incorporation and the amended and restated bylaws of the Registrant. Article IV of the Registrant's Amended and Restated By-Laws states that the Registrant shall indemnify and hold harmless its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware. The Registrant has also entered into an indemnification agreement with each of its directors and executive officers. Such agreement provides that the Registrant shall indemnify, and advance expenses, to the indemnified person to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in effect on the date of such agreement and to such greater extent as thereafter permitted by law. The agreement is governed by Delaware law. Such rights to indemnification and expense advancement are provided when the indemnified person is, or is threatened to be made, a party to certain proceedings or is a witness in such proceedings because of his or her role as a director or officer of the Registrant. The indemnification agreement remains in effect for 10 years after the indemnified person ceases to be an officer or director of the Registrant, or until final termination of all proceedings in which he or she is protected under the agreement, whichever is later.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") provides that a corporation may indemnify any persons, including officers and directors, who are, or are threatened to be made, parties 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 a director, officer, 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 attorneys' 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 director, officer, employee or agent 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 that the person's conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director 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 that such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred.
The indemnification permitted under the DGCL is not exclusive, and pursuant to Section 145 of the DGCL, a corporation is empowered to purchase and maintain insurance against liabilities whether or not indemnification would be permitted by statute. The directors and officers of the Registrant are covered by a policy of insurance under which they are insured, within limits and subject to certain limitations, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of actions, suits or proceedings, and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result of such actions, suits or proceedings, in which they are parties by reason of being or having been directors or officers, including actions, suits or proceedings arising out of any actual or alleged error, misstatement, misleading statement, act or omission, or neglect or breach of duty. The Registrant is similarly insured, under such policy, with respect to certain payments it might be required to make to its directors or officers in accordance with applicable law and the provisions of the Registrant's Amended and Restated By-Laws relating 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 duties as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for improper payment of dividends, stock purchases or redemptions of shares, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit. The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation includes such a provision.

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 SEC 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 the effective registration statement; and
(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 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.
(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 a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed 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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, 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 Bristol, and State of Connecticut, on this 14th day of July, 2022.
