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>

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,

Item 5.             Interests
of Named Experts and Counsel
Certain legal matters with respect to the legality of the Common
Stock offered hereby will be passed upon for the Registrant by Thomas J. Williams, General Counsel and Secretary of the Registrant. 
As of November 3, 2017, Mr. Williams holds a total of 2,658 shares of Common Stock (of which 658 are vested and 2,000 are
unvested) and 27,500 options to acquire shares of Common Stock (of which 4,500 are vested and 23,000 are unvested).
Item 6.             Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
We are 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.
Our 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 by laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors
or otherwise.
We maintain 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.

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 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)
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;
(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 registration statement is on Form S-8, and 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 herein.
(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.
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 Town of Oxford, Connecticut,
on November 3, 2017.
