Item 4. Description of Securities
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of
the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), the registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
limits personal liability of the registrant’s directors to the registrant or the registrant’s stockholders for monetary
damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except (i) for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the
registrant and the registrant’s stockholders, (ii) for acts and omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for any transaction from which
the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Article V of the registrant’s
Amended and Restated By-Laws provides that the registrant shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person who
is made or is threatened to be made a party or is involved in any action, suit, or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the registrant or is or was
serving at the request of the registrant as an officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, enterprise, or nonprofit entity.
The registrant is empowered by Section 145
of the DGCL, subject to the procedures and limitations stated therein, to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the registrant) by reason of the fact that such person is or was an
officer, employee, agent or director of the registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the registrant as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful. The registrant may indemnify any such person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in an action by or
in the right of the registrant under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval
if such person is adjudged to be liable to the registrant. To the extent a director or officer is successful on the merits or otherwise
in the defense of any action referred to above, the registrant must indemnify him against the expenses that he actually and reasonably
incurred in connection therewith.
Policies of insurance are maintained by
the registrant under which directors and officers of the registrant are insured, within the limits and subject to the limitations
of the policies, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of actions, suits or proceedings, and certain liabilities
which might be imposed as a result of such actions, suits or proceedings, to which they are parties by reason of being or having
been such directors or officers.
The foregoing summaries are subject to the
complete text of the statutes, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated By-laws, and
are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.

Item 9. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(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;
(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 SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price 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;
(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) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs
is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC 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, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof; and
(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 further undertakes
that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report
pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act 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 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 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.
