Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company's by-laws require it to indemnify current or former directors and officers against expenses incurred by them in connection with each proceeding in which such officer or director is involved as a result of serving or having served at the Company's request. The Company's indemnification obligation covers all costs, charges and expenses, including amounts paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment reasonably incurred by such officer or director by reason of having been an officer or director. Indemnification is
not available with respect to a proceeding as to which it has been adjudicated that such person did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the Company's best interests, and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceedings that is enforced by a monetary penalty, with reasonable grounds for believing that his or her action was lawful. The above provisions are intended to follow and are subject to the limitations set forth in section 81 of the New Brunswick Business Corporations Act ("
NB BCA
").
Section 81(1) of the NB BCA provides that except in respect of an action by or on behalf of the Company or a body corporate to procure a judgment in its favor, the Company may indemnify a former or current director or officer or other person who acts or acted at the Company's request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Company is or was a shareholder or creditor, and that person's heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by that person in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which that person is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Company or body corporate, if (a) that person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the Company's best interests, and (b) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, that person had reasonable grounds for believing that that person's conduct was lawful.
Section 81(2) of the NB BCA provides that the Company may, with court approval, indemnify a former or current director or officer or other person who acts or acted at the Company's request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Company is or was a shareholder or creditor, and that person's heirs and legal representatives in respect of an action by or on behalf of the Company or body corporate to procure a judgment in its favor, to which he is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or an officer of the Company or body corporate, against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action if (a) that person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the Company's best interests, and (b) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, that person had reasonable grounds for believing that that person's conduct was lawful.
Section 81(3) of the NB BCA provides that notwithstanding anything in Section 81 of the NB BCA, a former or current director or officer or other person who acts or acted at the Company's request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Company is or was a shareholder or creditor, and that person's heirs and legal representatives is entitled to indemnity from the Company in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Company or body corporate, if the person seeking indemnity (a) was substantially successful on the merits of his defense of the action or proceeding, (b) acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the Company's best interests, (c) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, had reasonable grounds for believing that that person's conduct was lawful and (d) is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity.
Section 81(4) of the NB BCA provides that the Company may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any former or current director or officer or other person who acts or acted at the Company's request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Company is or was a shareholder or creditor, and that person's heirs and legal representatives against any liability incurred by him (a) in his capacity as the Company's director or officer, except where the liability relates to his failure to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the Company's best interests; or (b) in his capacity as a director or officer of another body corporate if he acts or acted in that capacity at the Company's request, except where the liability relates to his failure to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of that body corporate.
The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain officers. The indemnification agreements provide that the Company will indemnify such persons if they are, or are threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any proceeding, other than a proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Such persons are indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them or on their behalf in connection with such proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if they acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the Company's best interests, and in the case of a criminal or administrative proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, such persons had reasonable grounds for believing that their conduct was lawful. With the leave of the court, the Company also indemnifies such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them or on their behalf if they are, or are threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any proceeding by the Company or in its right to procure a judgment in its favor, provided that such persons acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the Company's best interests, and in the case of a criminal or administrative proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, such persons had reasonable grounds for believing that their conduct was lawful. To the extent that such persons are a party to or a participant in and are successful (on the merits or otherwise) in defense of any proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, the Company will indemnify them against all expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the proceedings and in connection with any proceeding or claim brought to enforce such right to indemnification. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if such persons are not wholly successful in such proceeding but are successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such proceeding, the Company will indemnify them against all expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with (a) each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter and (b) any claim, issue or matter related to any such successfully resolved claim, issuer or matter.
The Company also has director and officer insurance policies that will insure its officers and directors against unindemnifiable costs, charges and expenses, and may also enable the Company to recover some or all of any future amounts paid pursuant to its indemnity obligations.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

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;
(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) shall 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; 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, 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 Company 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 Company 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 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 Bedford, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on May 17, 2021.
