provides that corporations organized under the DGCL generally have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person&#146;s conduct was unlawful. The board of directors of Delaware corporation, or an authorized committee of such board is authorized to make such determinations,
generally, and consistent with the DGCL, a court may make such determinations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that the Company
shall indemnify its directors and officers elected by its board of directors and may indemnify any other officer, employee of the Corporation as permitted by the DGCL. The Amended and Restated Bylaws state that it is the Registrant&#146;s policy
that indemnification of and expense advances to directors and officers of the Corporation shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law, and, accordingly, in the event of any change in law, by legislation or otherwise, permitting greater
indemnification of and/or expense advances to any such person, the provisions of this Article VIII shall be construed to require such greater indemnification and/or expense advances. The Amended and Restated Bylaws shall not be deemed to preclude
the indemnification of any person who is not specified in the indemnity provisions, but whom the Corporation has the power to indemnify under the provisions of the DGCL or otherwise. The indemnity provisions continue as to a person who has ceased to
be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The indemnity
provisions of Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL and the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws are sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under
the Securities Act. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registrant&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation, as permitted by the DGCL, also provides that a director shall not be held

full force and effect at all times at which the Shares are issued or delivered and sold by the Company, and that the Company will take no action inconsistent with such resolutions. In rendering the opinion above, we have assumed that each award
under the Plan will be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or an authorized committee of the Board of Directors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We hereby
