authorizes a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities arising out of actions, suits and proceedings to
which they are made or threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that they have served or are currently serving as a director
or officer to a corporation. The indemnity may cover expenses (including attorneys&#8217; fees) judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding. Section&nbsp;145
permits corporations to pay expenses (including attorneys&#8217; fees) incurred by directors and officers in advance of the final disposition
of such action, suit or proceeding. In addition, Section&nbsp;145 provides that a corporation has the power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of its directors and officers against any liability asserted against them and incurred by them in their capacity
as a director or officer, or arising out of their status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the
director or officer against such liability under Section&nbsp;145.</P>

with each of our directors and intend to enter into such agreements with our executive officers. These agreements provide that we will
indemnify each of our directors, our executive officers and, at times, their affiliates to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
We will advance expenses, including attorneys&#8217; fees (but excluding judgments, fines and settlement amounts), to each indemnified
director, executive officer or affiliate in connection with any proceeding in which indemnification is available and we will indemnify
our directors and officers for any action or proceeding arising out of that person&#8217;s services as a director or officer brought

apply to the same proceedings arising out of such director&#8217;s or officer&#8217;s services as a director referenced herein. Nonetheless,

under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the 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 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</P>
