Item
6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Incorporated
in the State of Delaware, the Registrant is subject to the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). Section 145 of
the DGCL empowers a Delaware corporation 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 such corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation,
or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise.
A corporation may indemnify such person 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 or she acted in good faith and
in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A corporation may, in advance of the
final disposition of any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding, pay the expenses (including attorneys’
fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending such action, provided that the director or officer undertakes to repay such amount
if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.
A
Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor under the same conditions, except that
no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if such person is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where a present
or former officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above,
the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which he or she actually and reasonably
incurred in connection therewith.
The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided above is not deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification
or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any corporation’s bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors
or otherwise.
The
Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Registrant to provide indemnification of (and advancement
of payments to) its directors, officers and agents (and any other persons to which applicable law permits the Registrant to provide indemnification)
to the full extent required or permitted by applicable law.
The
Registrant’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”) provide that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and executive
officers (“executive officers” shall have the meaning defined in Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the Exchange Act) to the extent
not prohibited by the DGCL or any other applicable law; provided, however, that the Registrant may modify the extent of such indemnification
by individual contracts with its directors and executive officers; and, provided, further, that the Registrant shall not be required
to indemnify any director or executive officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless (i)
such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Registrant,
(iii) such indemnification is provided by the Registrant, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Registrant under
the DGCL or any other applicable law or (iv) such indemnification is required to be made under section 44(d) of the Bylaws.
The
Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and our executive officers and
has
obtained insurance covering its directors and officers against losses and insuring the Registrant against certain of
its
obligations to indemnify its directors and officers.

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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than 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) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission
by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 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 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 purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of
the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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 therein, 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 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.
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 Garden City, New York, on June 30, 2021.
