of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &ldquo;Delaware Law&rdquo;) authorizes a court to award, or a corporation&rsquo;s
Board of Directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under
certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the &ldquo;Securities Act&rdquo;). Article&nbsp;VII of the Registrant&rsquo;s Certificate of Incorporation and Article&nbsp;VI
of the Registrant&rsquo;s Bylaws provide for indemnification of the Registrant&rsquo;s directors and officers and authorize indemnification
of employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware Law. In addition, the Registrant has entered into Indemnification
Agreements with its officers and directors.</P>

by Registrant for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to its directors, officers and controlling persons
pursuant to the provisions referenced above 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 Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by one of Registrant&rsquo;s directors, officers, or controlling persons 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 hereunder,
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of Registrant&rsquo;s 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</P>
