Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
We are a Delaware corporation and certain provisions of the Delaware Statutes
and our bylaws provide for indemnification of our officers and directors against liabilities that they may incur in such capacities. A
summary of the circumstances in which indemnification is provided is discussed below, but this description is qualified in its entirety
by reference to our bylaws and to the statutory provisions.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides for, under
certain circumstances, the indemnification of our officers, directors, employees and agents against liabilities that they may incur in
such capacities. A summary of the circumstances in which such indemnification provided for is contained herein, but that description is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the relevant Section of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
In general, the statute provides that any director, officer, employee or
agent of a corporation may be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement,
actually and reasonably incurred in a proceeding (including any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceeding) to which
the individual was a party by reason of such status. Such indemnity may be provided if the indemnified person’s actions resulting
in the liabilities: (i) were taken in good faith; (ii) were reasonably believed to have been in or not opposed to our best interest; and
(iii) with respect to any criminal action, such person had no reasonable cause to believe the actions were unlawful. Unless ordered by
a court, indemnification generally may be awarded only after a determination of independent members of the Board of Directors or a committee
thereof, by independent legal counsel or by vote of the stockholders that the applicable standard of conduct was met by the individual
to be indemnified.
The statutory provisions further provide that to the extent a director,
officer, employee or agent is wholly successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding to which he was a party, he is
entitled to receive indemnification against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection
with the proceeding.
Indemnification in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the
Company in which the director, officer, employee or agent is successful is permitted only with respect to expenses, including attorneys’
fees actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense. In such actions, the person to be indemnified must have acted in
good faith, in a manner believed to have been in our best interest and must not have been adjudged liable to us unless and only to the
extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite
the adjudication of liability, in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity
for such expense which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. Indemnification is otherwise prohibited in connection
with a proceeding brought on behalf of the Company in which a director is adjudged liable to us, or in connection with any proceeding
charging improper personal benefit to the director in which the director is adjudged liable for receipt of an improper personal benefit.
Delaware law authorizes us to reimburse or pay reasonable expenses incurred
by a director, officer, employee or agent in connection with a proceeding in advance of a final disposition of the matter. Such advances
of expenses are permitted if the person furnishes to us a written agreement to repay such advances if it is determined that he is not
entitled to be indemnified by us.
The statutory section cited above further specifies that any provisions
for indemnification of or advances for expenses does not exclude other rights under our certificate of incorporation, corporate bylaws,
resolutions of our stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. These indemnification provisions continue for a person who has
ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators
of such persons.
The statutory provision cited above also grants the power to the Company
to purchase and maintain insurance policies that protect any director, officer, employee or agent against any liability asserted against
or incurred by him in such capacity arising out of his status as such. Such policies may provide for indemnification whether or not the
corporation would otherwise have the power to provide for it.
Articled 8 and 9 of our certificate of incorporation provide that we shall
indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
We have purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance
in order to limit the exposure to liability for indemnification of directors and officers, including liabilities under the Securities
Act of 1933.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted for our directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, we have been
advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
Item 9. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus
required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the
prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered
would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be
reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and prices represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation
of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any
material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material
change to such information in this registration statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of
this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference
in this registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for 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 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this
registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Eagan and the State of
Minnesota, on this 2nd day of September, 2021.
