</FONT><U>Procedure</U>. Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this <U>Section 10</U> will, promptly after
receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party
or parties under this <U>Section 10</U>, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, enclosing a copy of all
papers served, but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from (i)&nbsp;any liability
that it might have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this <U>Section 10</U> and (ii)&nbsp;any liability that it may have to
any indemnified party under the foregoing provision of this <U>Section 10</U> unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results
in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party
and it notifies the indemnifying party of its commencement, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent
that it elects by delivering written notice to the indemnified party promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of the action
from the indemnified party, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense of the action, with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election
to assume the defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any other legal expenses except as provided
below and except for the reasonable costs of investigation subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense.
The indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such
counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (1)&nbsp;the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized
in writing by the indemnifying party, (2)&nbsp;the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there
may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying
party, (3)&nbsp;a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified
party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on
behalf of the indemnified party) or (4)&nbsp;the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action
or counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in each case, within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement
of the action; in each of which cases the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will
be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection
with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements
and other charges of more than one separate firm (plus local counsel if reasonably necessary) admitted to practice in such jurisdiction
at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties. All such fees, disbursements and other charges will be reimbursed by the indemnifying
party promptly after the indemnifying party receives a written invoice relating to fees, disbursements and other charges in reasonable
detail. An indemnifying party will not, in any event, be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its written
consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to
the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated by this <U>Section
10</U> (whether or not any indemnified party is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (1)&nbsp;includes an express
and unconditional release of each indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, from all
liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (2)&nbsp;does not include a statement as to or an admission
of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.</TD></TR>

    <TD STYLE="text-align: justify"><U>Contribution</U>. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in
which the indemnification provided for in the foregoing paragraphs of this <U>Section 10</U> is applicable in accordance with its terms
but for any reason is held to be unavailable or insufficient from the Company or the Agent, the Company and the Agent will contribute
to the total losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred
in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted) to which the Company
and the Agent may be subject in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the
one hand and the Agent on the other hand. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agent on the other hand
shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the sale of the Placement Shares (before deducting expenses)
received by the Company bear to the total compensation received by the Agent from the sale of Placement Shares on behalf of the Company.
If, but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution
shall be made in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing sentence but
also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, with respect to the statements or omission
that resulted in such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations with respect to such offering. Such relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Company or the Agent, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions
pursuant to this <U>Section 10(e)</U> were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not
take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of
the loss, claim, liability, expense, or damage, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this <U>Section 10(e)</U> shall be
deemed to include, for the purpose of this <U>Section 10(e)</U>, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim to the extent consistent with <U>Section 10(c)</U> hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this <U>Section 10(e)</U>, the Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess
of the commissions received by it under this Agreement and no person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of <U>Section 11(f)</U> of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of this <U>Section 10(e)</U>, any person who controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of
the Securities Act, any affiliates of the Agent and any officers, directors, partners, employees or agents of the Agent or any of its
affiliates, will have the same rights to contribution as that party, and each director of the Company and each officer of the Company
who signed the Registration Statement will have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions
hereof. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect
of which a claim for contribution may be made under this <U>Section 10(e)</U>, will notify any such party or parties from whom contribution
may be sought, but the omission to so notify will not relieve that party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other
obligation it or they may have under this <U>Section 10(e)</U> except to the extent that the failure to so notify such other party materially
prejudiced the substantive rights or defenses of the party from whom contribution is sought. Except for a settlement entered into pursuant
to the last sentence of <U>Section 10(c)</U> hereof, no party will be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled
without its written consent if such consent is required pursuant to <U>Section 10(c)</U> hereof.</TD></TR>
