<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits the Registrant&#146;s board of directors to indemnify any person against
expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding in which such person is
made a party by reason of his or her being or having been a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Registrant, or serving or having served, at the request of the Registrant, as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act. The
statute provides that indemnification pursuant to its provisions is not exclusive of other rights of indemnification to which a person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Article Sixth of the Registrant&#146;s restated certificate of incorporation provides for indemnification of its directors, officers,
employees, and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by law. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As permitted by sections 102 and 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, the Registrant&#146;s restated certificate of incorporation eliminates the liability of a director of the Registrant for monetary damages to the Registrant and its stockholders arising from a breach or alleged breach of a
director&#146;s fiduciary duty except for liability for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, liability for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, liability under section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or liability for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the Registrant maintains officers&#146; and directors&#146; insurance covering certain liabilities that may be incurred by
officers and directors in the performance of their duties. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Item&nbsp;7. Exemption from Registration Claimed. </B></P>
