as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, may be permitted to the Company&rsquo;s directors, officers
or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the provisions contained in the Company&rsquo;s Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation, Bylaws, the DGCL or otherwise, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities, other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by one of its directors, officers or controlling
persons in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding, is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person,
the Company will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by the Company is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of this issue.</FONT></P>
