for the advancement, together with an undertaking by or on behalf of the person to repay any expenses so advanced to the extent that the person is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification for the expenses. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As permitted by Section&nbsp;726 of the NYBCL, Registrant has insurance (a)&nbsp;to indemnify Registrant for obligations it incurs for indemnification of its
directors and officers, and (b)&nbsp;to indemnify directors and officers of Registrant for losses, costs and expenses incurred by them in actions brought against them in connection with their acts as directors or officers for which they are not
indemnified by Registrant. Pursuant to Section&nbsp;726 of the NYBCL, no insurance payment, other than cost of defense, may be made to any director or officer (a)&nbsp;if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer
establishes that his or her acts of active and deliberate dishonesty were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he or she personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he or she was not legally entitled,
or (b)&nbsp;in relation to any risk the insurance of which is prohibited under the insurance law of the State of New York. Registrant may also purchase insurance coverage insuring the directors and officers of Registrant against certain liabilities
that could arise in connection with administration of Registrant&#146;s employee benefit plans. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Act&#148;), may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant
of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against Registrant by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </P>
