corporation may indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed action,

by reason of the fact that such person was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request
of such person as an officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including
attorneys&rsquo; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the corporation&rsquo;s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe that his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to
be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that
such person was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as

person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation&rsquo;s best interests
except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation.
Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation
must indemnify him or her against the expenses that such officer or director has actually and reasonably incurred. Our charter and bylaws
provide for the indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation
Law.</FONT></P>

    pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification

    against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
    person of the Registrant 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, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its 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.</FONT></TD></TR>
