<U>Registration Statement and Prospectus</U>. The Company and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement meet the requirements for
and comply with the applicable conditions set forth in Form S-3 (including General Instructions I.A and I.B) under the Securities Act.
The Registration Statement has been filed with the Commission and has been declared effective by the Commission under the Securities
Act. The Registration Statement is effective. The Prospectus Supplement will name the Agent as the agent in the section entitled &ldquo;Plan
of Distribution.&rdquo; The Company has not received, and has no notice of, any order of the Commission preventing or suspending the
use of the Registration Statement, or threatening or instituting proceedings for that purpose. The Registration Statement and the offer
and sale of Placement Shares as contemplated hereby meet the requirements of Rule 415 under the Securities Act and comply in all material
respects with said Rule. Any statutes, regulations, contracts or other documents that are required to be described in the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement have been so described or filed. Copies of the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus, and any such amendments or supplements and all documents incorporated by reference therein that were filed
with the Commission on or prior to the date of this Agreement have been delivered, or are available through EDGAR, to the Agent and its
counsel. The Company has not distributed and, prior to the later to occur of each Settlement Date and completion of the distribution
of the Placement Shares, will not distribute any offering material in connection with the offering or sale of the Placement Shares other

The Company has taken no action designed to, or likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under
the Exchange Act, delisting the Common Stock from the Exchange, nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission or
the Exchange is contemplating terminating such registration or listing. To the Company&rsquo;s knowledge, it is in compliance with all
applicable listing requirements of the Exchange. The Company has no intention to delist the Common Stock from the Exchange or to deregister
the Common Stock under the Exchange Act, in either case, at any time during the period commencing on the date of this Agreement through
and including the ninetieth (90<SUP>th</SUP>) calendar day after the termination of this Agreement. The Placement Shares shall have been
approved for listing on the Exchange prior to the date of the first Placement Notice. The issuance and sale of the Placement Shares under

    was less than $75.0 million (calculated by multiplying (x) the highest price at which the common equity of the Company closed on
    the Exchange within 60 days of the date of this Agreement times (y) the number of Non-Affiliate Shares). The Company is not a shell
    company (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) and has not been a shell company for at least 12 calendar months previously

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) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (2) 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) 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) 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 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 fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm (plus local counsel) 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 as they are incurred. 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) 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) 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.</FONT></P>

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.</FONT></P>
