This indemnification does not apply: (i) in a derivative action, to matters as to which it is adjudged that the director, officer, employee or agent is liable to the Registrant, unless upon court order it is determined that, despite such adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the individual is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses; and (ii) in a non-derivative action, to any criminal proceeding in which such person had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful.</p>

The Company&#8217;s amended and restated certificate of incorporation also provides that the Registrant is obligated to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, and permits the Registrant to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in that capacity regardless of whether the Registrant would otherwise be permitted to indemnify him or her under Delaware law.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:3.85%;color:#000000;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers, which,&#160;<font style="Background-color:#FFFFFF;">among other things, require the Registrant to indemnify each director and executive officer to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including indemnification of expenses such as attorneys&#8217; fees, judgments, penalties, fines and settlement amounts incurred by the director or officer in any action or proceedings, including any action or proceeding by or in right of the Registrant, arising out of the person&#8217;s service as a director or officer</font>. 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 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.</p>

The Registrant has procured additional insurance to provide coverage to its directors and officers against loss arising from claims relating to, among other things, public securities matters.</p>

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in effect, that any person made a party to any action by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant may, and in certain cases must, be indemnified by the Registrant against, in the case of a non-derivative action, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement, and reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by the individual as a result of such action, and in the case of a derivative action, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), if in either type of action he or she acted in good faith and in a manner the individual reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the Registrant's best interests. This indemnification does not apply: (i) in a derivative action, to matters as to which it is adjudged that the director, officer, employee or agent is liable to the Registrant, unless upon court order it is determined that, despite such adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the individual is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses; and (ii) in a non-derivative action, to any criminal proceeding in which such person had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful.
The Company's board of directors has adopted an amended and restated certificate of incorporation which provides that the Registrant is required to indemnify its directors and officers, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation also provides that the Registrant is obligated to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, and permits the Registrant to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in that capacity regardless of whether the Registrant would otherwise be permitted to indemnify him or her under Delaware law.
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers, which,
among other things, require the Registrant to indemnify each director and executive officer to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including indemnification of expenses such as attorneys' fees, judgments, penalties, fines and settlement amounts incurred by the director or officer in any action or proceedings, including any action or proceeding by or in right of the Registrant, arising out of the person's service as a director or officer
. 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 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.
The Company has purchased and intends to maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer against any loss arising from any claim asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, subject to certain exclusions. The Registrant has procured additional insurance to provide coverage to its directors and officers against loss arising from claims relating to, among other things, public securities matters.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in the Registrant's amended and restated certificate of incorporation may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against the Registrant's directors and officers for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against the Registrant's directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit the Registrant and its stockholders. Further, a stockholder's investment may be adversely affected to the extent that the Registrant pays the costs of settlement and damages.

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; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the EIP 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 periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 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 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 of liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant 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. 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.

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 Carlsbad, State of California, on the 26th day of March, 2021.
