Underwriters). There are no outstanding securities or instruments of the Company or any Subsidiary with any provision that
adjusts the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price of such security or instrument upon an issuance of securities by

similar plan or agreement. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with all federal and state securities laws, and none of such
outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase
securities. The authorized shares of the Company conform in all material respects to all statements relating thereto
contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. The offers and sales of the Company&rsquo;s securities were at
all relevant times either registered under the Securities Act and the applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws or, based

Shares. There are no stockholders agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the

regulation to file such material) (the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by
reference therein, together with the Prospectus, being collectively referred to herein as the &ldquo;<U>SEC

the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial
statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements
and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial

Company&rsquo;s knowledge, the other parties thereto, in accordance with its terms, except (x) as such enforceability may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors&rsquo; rights generally, (y) as
enforceability of any indemnification or contribution provision may be limited under the federal and state securities laws,
and (z) that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to the
equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefore may be brought. None of such
agreements or instruments has been assigned by the Company, and neither the Company nor, to the best of the Company&rsquo;s
knowledge, any other party is in default thereunder and, to the best of the Company&rsquo;s knowledge, no event has occurred
that, with the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default thereunder. To the best of the
Company&rsquo;s knowledge, performance by the Company of the material provisions of such agreements or instruments will not
result in a violation of any existing applicable law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree of any governmental agency
or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its assets or businesses, including, without

than by reason of any default on the part of the Company), the Representative, or if the Representative is the defaulting Underwriter,
the non-defaulting Underwriters, shall use their reasonable efforts to procure within 36 hours thereafter one or more of the other
Underwriters, or any others, to purchase from the Company such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms set forth herein,
the Closing Shares or Option Shares, as the case may be, which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters failed to purchase.
If during such 36 hours the Representative shall not have procured such other Underwriters, or any others, to purchase the Closing
Shares or Option Shares, as the case may be, agreed to be purchased by the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then (a) if
the aggregate number of Closing Shares or Option Shares, as the case may be, with respect to which such default shall occur does
not exceed 10% of the Closing Shares or Option Shares, as the case may be, covered hereby, the other Underwriters shall be obligated,
severally, in proportion to the respective numbers of Closing Shares or Option Shares, as the case may be, which they are obligated
to purchase hereunder, to purchase the Closing Shares or Option Shares, as the case may be, which such defaulting Underwriter
or Underwriters failed to purchase, or (b) if the aggregate number of Closing Shares or Option Shares, as the case may be, with
respect to which such default shall occur exceeds 10% of the Closing Shares or Option Shares, as the case may be, covered hereby,
the Company or the Representative will have the right to terminate this Agreement without liability on the part of the non-defaulting
Underwriters or of the Company except to the extent provided in Article VI hereof. In the event of a default by any Underwriter
or Underwriters, as set forth in this Article V, the applicable Closing Date may be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven
days, as the Representative, or if the Representative is the defaulting Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriters, may determine
in order that the required changes in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. The term &ldquo;Underwriter&rdquo;
includes any Person substituted for a defaulting Underwriter. Any action taken under this Section shall not relieve any defaulting
Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.</FONT></P>

shall not be unreasonably withheld.</FONT></P>

may be sought against such Underwriter, such Underwriter shall have the rights and duties given to the Company, and the Company

VI. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.3, no Underwriter shall be required to indemnify the Company for any amount
in excess of the underwriting discounts and commissions applicable to the Shares purchased by such Underwriter. The Underwriters&rsquo;
obligations in this Section 6.3 to indemnify the Company are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations

indemnification is provided under this Article VI, then, and in each such case, the Company and each Underwriter, severally

contemplated by said indemnity agreement incurred by the Company and such Underwriter, as incurred, in such proportions that
such Underwriter is responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the underwriting discount appearing on
the cover page of the Prospectus bears to the initial offering price appearing thereon and the Company is responsible for the
balance; provided, that, no Person guilty of a fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
For purposes of this Section, each director, officer and employee of such Underwriter or the Company, as applicable, and each

discounts and commissions applicable to the Shares purchased by such Underwriter. The Underwriters&rsquo; obligations in this
Section 6.4 to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.</FONT></P>
