DESCRIPTION OF PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF SERIES A-2 CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS

On July 11, 2016, we completed a private placement financing transaction. Pursuant to a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), we issued 1,724,137 shares (the “Series A-2 Shares”) of a series of preferred stock, Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A-2 Preferred”), and warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,724,137 shares (“Warrant Shares”) of common stock or Series A-2 Preferred, and received gross cash proceeds of approximately $5,000,000, excluding transactions costs, fees and expenses. The Series A-2 Shares and Warrants were sold in units, with each unit consisting of one Series A-2 Share and one Warrant, at a purchase price of $2.90 per unit. The closing per share price of the common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the closing date was $3.18. Each Series A-2 Share is convertible into shares of common stock (the “Conversion Shares”), at an initial conversion rate of 1-for-1, at any time at the discretion of the holder. The exercise price of the Warrants is $2.90 per share, and the Warrants are exercisable for five years. The purchasers were the initial selling stockholders named in this prospectus, other than Bear State Bank, N.A.

Series A-2 Preferred Stock

The Series A-2 Preferred was established pursuant to a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. The rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions applicable to the Series A-2 Preferred are described below.

Conversion. Each share of the Series A-2 Preferred is convertible into common stock at an initial conversion rate of 1-for-1. The conversion rate of the Series A-2 Preferred is subject to proportionate adjustments for stock splits, reverse stock splits and similar events, but is not subject to adjustment based on price anti-dilution provisions. The Series A-2 Preferred automatically converts into common stock upon the occurrence of certain “Fundamental Transactions,” as described below.

Dividends. In addition to stock dividends or distributions for which proportionate adjustments will be made, holders of Series A-2 Preferred are entitled to receive dividends on shares of Series A-2 Preferred equal, on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis, to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the common stock when, as and if such dividends are paid on shares of the common stock. No other dividends are payable on shares of Series A-2 Preferred.

Voting Rights. Except as provided in the Certificate of Designation or as otherwise required by law, the holders of Series A-2 Preferred are entitled to vote with the holders of outstanding shares of common stock, voting together as a single class, with respect to all matters presented to the stockholders for their action or consideration. In any such vote, each holder is entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the Series A-2 Preferred held by such holder is convertible, after taking into account the Beneficial Ownership Limitation described below. The Company may not, without the consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A-2 Preferred, alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A-2 Preferred or alter or amend the Certificate of Designation.

Liquidation Rights. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series A-2 Preferred are entitled to receive, pari passu with the holders of common stock, out of the assets available for distribution to stockholders an amount equal to such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series A-2 Preferred been converted into common stock immediately before such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, without giving effect to any limitation on conversion as a result of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Company may not effect any conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred, and a holder does not have the right to convert any portion of the Series A-2 Preferred or exercise a Warrant held by the holder, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth in a notice of conversion or such exercise of the Warrant, such holder would beneficially own in excess of the holder Beneficial Ownership Limitation, or such holder, together with such holder’s affiliates, and any persons acting as a group together with such holder or affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of the Affiliates Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The “holder Beneficial Ownership Limitation” is 4.99% of the number of shares of the common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of Series A-2 Preferred, or upon exercise of the Warrant, held by the applicable holder. The “affiliates Beneficial Ownership Limitation” is 9.99% of the number of shares of the common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of Series A-2 Preferred, or upon exercise of the Warrant, held by the applicable holder and its affiliates (the holder Beneficial Ownership Limitation together with the affiliates Beneficial Ownership Limitation collectively referred to as the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). A holder may, with 61 days prior notice to the Company, or immediately upon notice from the holder to the Company at any time after the public announcement or other disclosure of a Fundamental Transaction, elect to increase or decrease or remove one or both of the holder Beneficial Ownership Limitation and the affiliates Beneficial Ownership Limitation; provided, however, that in no event may either the holder Beneficial Ownership Limitation or the affiliate Beneficial Ownership Limitation be 20.00% or greater.

Failure to Deliver Conversion Shares. If the Company fails to timely deliver shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred within the time period specified in the Certificate of Designation, or fails to timely deliver shares upon exercise of a Warrant (generally, within three trading days after delivery of the notice of conversion or exercise), and if the holder has not exercised its Buy-In rights as described below with respect to such shares, then the Company is obligated to pay to the holder, as liquidated damages, an amount equal to $100 per business day (increasing to $200 per business day after the tenth business day) for each $10,000 of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares for which the Series A-2 Preferred or Warrant is converted or exercised which are not timely delivered. If the Company makes such liquidated damages payments, it is not also obligated to make Buy-In payments with respect to the same Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares.

Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Shares. If the Company fails to timely deliver the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares to the holder, and if after the required delivery date the holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the holder or its brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the holder of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares which the holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion or exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company is obligated to (A) pay in cash to the holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of common stock so purchased, minus any amounts paid to the holder by the Company as liquidated damages for late delivery of such shares, exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the holder, either reinstate the portion of the Series A-2 Preferred and equivalent number of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares for which such conversion or exercise was not honored (in which case such conversion or exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the holder the number of shares of common stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations.

Subsequent Rights Offerings; Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company grants, issues or sells any common stock equivalents pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of common stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then a holder of Series A-2 Preferred or Warrants will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the holder could have acquired if the holder had held the number of shares of common stock acquirable upon conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred or exercise of the Warrants (without regard to any limitations on conversion). If the Company declares or makes any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of common stock, then a holder of Series A-2 Preferred or Warrants is entitled to participate in such distribution to the same extent as if the holder had held the number of shares of common stock acquirable upon complete conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred or exercise of the Warrants (without regard to any limitations on conversion).

Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while the Series A-2 Preferred is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another person pursuant to which the shares of capital stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation are converted into or exchanged for shares of another corporation or entity and represent, or are converted into or exchanged for equity securities that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, less than a majority, by voting power, of the equity securities of (1) the surviving or resulting party or (2) if the surviving or resulting party is a wholly owned subsidiary of another party immediately following such merger or consolidation, the parent of such surviving or resulting party, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another person) is completed pursuant to which holders of common stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding common stock, or (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another person whereby such other person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock (not including any shares of common stock held by the other person or other persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then the Series A-2 Preferred automatically converts and the holder will receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation), the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of common stock for which the Series A-2 Preferred is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the conversion ratio will be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of common stock in such Fundamental Transaction. If holders of common stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the holder will be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon automatic conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred following such Fundamental Transaction.

Warrants

Exercise. The Warrants are exercisable by means of cash. However, if at any time commencing 120 days after the initial issuance date of the Warrants there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for the resale of, all of the Warrant Shares held by the holder (and all of the Conversion Shares beneficially held by the holder (in each case without giving effect any restrictions on exercise or conversion), or if the Company has not provided any certifications required to be provided by the Registration Rights Agreement regarding the availability of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part for resales of all of the Warrant Shares and all of the Conversion Shares beneficially held by the holder (in each case without giving effect any restrictions on exercise or conversion) that has been requested by the holder, then a holder may also exercise a Warrant at the holder’s election, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a net exercise of the Warrant on a cashless basis.

Adjustments to Exercise Price. The Warrants provide for proportional adjustment of the number and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants and the per share exercise price upon the occurrence of certain events such as stock splits, combinations, reverse stock splits and similar events.

Call Provisions. Provided (i) there is an effective registration statement that covers resale of all of the Warrant Shares, or (ii) all of the Warrant Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 upon cashless exercise without restrictions including without volume limitations, each such event referred to as a Trigger Condition, the Company has the option to “call” the exercise of any or all of the Warrants, referred to as a Warrant Call, from time to time by giving a Call Notice to the holder. The Company’s right to exercise a Warrant Call commences five trading days after either of the Trigger Conditions has been in effect continuously for 15 trading days. A holder has the right to cancel the Warrant Call up until the date the called Warrant Shares are actually delivered to the holder, such date referred to as the Warrant Call Delivery Date, if the Trigger Condition relied upon for the Warrant Call ceases to apply. In addition, a Call Notice may be given not sooner than 15 trading days after the Warrant Call Delivery Date of the immediately preceding Call Notice.

We may give a Call Notice only within (i) if a holder and its affiliates beneficially own 2% or less of the outstanding common stock, then 10 trading days after any 20-consecutive trading day period during which the daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock is not less than 250% of the exercise price for the Warrants in effect for 10 out of such 20-consecutive trading day period, and (ii) if holder and its affiliates beneficially own more than 2% of the outstanding common stock, five trading days after any 30-consecutive trading day period during which the VWAP of the common stock is not less than 250% of the exercise price then in effect for 25 out of such 30-consecutive trading day period. During the Call Period, the holder may exercise the Warrant and purchase the called Warrant Shares. If the holder fails to timely exercise the Warrant for a number of Warrant Shares equal to number of called Warrant Shares during the Call Period, the Company’s sole remedy will be to cancel an amount of called Warrant Shares equal to such shortfall, with the Warrant no longer being exercisable with respect to such Warrant Shares. The “Call Period” is a period of 30 trading days following the date on which the Call Notice is deemed given and effective; the Call Period will be extended for one trading day for each trading day during the Call Period during which the VWAP of the common stock is less than 225% of the exercise price then in effect.

Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while the Warrants are outstanding we engage in a Fundamental Transaction, then, upon any subsequent exercise of a Warrant, the holder will have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such transaction, the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional Alternate Consideration, receivable as a result of such transaction by a holder of the number of shares of common stock for which the Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such transaction. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the exercise price will be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration.

If such a transaction is (1) an all cash transaction, (2) a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or (3) a transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a national securities exchange or trading market, then the Company or any successor entity will, at the holder’s option which shall be exercised as of the consummation of the transaction, purchase the Warrant from the holder by paying to the holder concurrently with the consummation of the transaction for each Warrant Share that would be issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such transaction, the higher of (i) an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value, calculated as provided in the Warrant, of the remaining unexercised portion of the Warrant on the date of the consummation of such transaction, or (ii) the positive difference between the cash per share paid in such transaction minus the then-in-effect exercise price. The Company will cause any successor entity in a transaction in which the Company is not the survivor to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under the Warrant and the other transaction documents prior to such transaction.

Other

Registration. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we have agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC by August 26, 2016 to register the resale of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred and exercise of the Warrants, and to have the registration statement declared effective by October 25, 2016 (or later in certain circumstances). The transaction documents provide for a variety of monetary penalties, which could be material, if the registration statement is not filed or declared effective by the times contemplated in the transaction documents, or does not continue to be effective and available thereafter. Each of the Company and each investor has agreed to indemnify the other party and certain affiliates against certain liabilities related to the registration statement.

Indemnification. Under the transaction documents, we agreed to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse and defend the investors and certain related persons and entities against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage (including legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed upon the investors or any such person which results from, arises out of or is based upon (i) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant by us in any of the transaction documents, or (ii) any action instituted against such indemnified party arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the transaction documents.

BEAR STATE WARRANT

On March 28, 2016, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Bear State Bank, N.A., a national banking association (“Lender,” “Bear State” or “BSB”). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Lender agreed to loan to the Company from time to time up to an aggregate of $2,000,000, subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, and the Company entered into a related Line of Credit Promissory Note (the “Note”) to evidence amounts that the Company may borrow from Lender under the Loan Agreement.

Under the Loan Documents (as defined below), the Company agreed to pay accrued and unpaid interest on amounts that it borrows and that are represented by the Note commencing on April 1, 2016, and on the first day of each July, October and January, through and including March 1, 2017. The entire outstanding principal balance, and all accrued and unpaid interest and all other sums payable pursuant to the Note, the Loan Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, are due and payable on March 1, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”), unless sooner provided. The Company may repay any amounts that it borrows under the Loan Agreement at any time.

As part of the collateral to secure its obligations to Lender under the Loan Agreement and all documents executed in connection with or pursuant to Loan Agreement, including the Note and all other security agreements, documents, agreements, and other instruments contemplated by the Loan Agreement or in connection with the Loan Agreement (the “Loan Documents”), the Company issued a warrant to Lender (the “BSB Warrant”) allowing Lender to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares (the “BSB Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to $0.0001 per share.

BSB Warrant

The BSB Warrant is only exercisable by Lender following the occurrence of an event of default under the Loan Documents and Lender’s notice to the Company that it is accelerating all amounts owed by the Company under the Loan Documents. In such event, Lender may exercise the BSB Warrant to acquire BSB Warrant Shares in a number that Lender in good faith believes will, upon sale of such shares, be sufficient to cure or payoff the Company’s obligations under the Loan Documents. The BSB Warrant may be exercised by means of a cashless net exercise.

Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Under the terms of the BSB Warrant, the Company shall not effect any exercise of the BSB Warrant, and Lender does not have the right to exercise any portion of the BSB Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Lender would beneficially own in excess of the holder and Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined in the BSB Warrant), or Lender, together with Lender’s affiliates and any persons acting as a group together with Lender or any of such affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of the Affiliates Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined in the BSB Warrant). For purposes of the BSB Warrant, the “holder Beneficial Ownership Limitation” is 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the BSB Warrant; and the “affiliates Beneficial Ownership Limitation” is 9.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the BSB Warrant (such limitations under the BSB Warrant referred to collectively as the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). Lender may, with 61 days prior notice to the Company, or immediately upon notice at any time after the public announcement or other disclosure of a “Fundamental Transaction” (as defined in the BSB Warrant), elect to increase or decrease or remove one or both of such limitations; provided, however, that in no event may the Lender exercise the BSB Warrant if the number of shares issuable upon exercise (plus all other shares of common stock issuable by the Company in other transactions subject to Nasdaq Rule 5635(d)(2) exceeds 19.9% of the outstanding shares of common stock on the issuance date of the BSB Warrant, unless such issuance has been approved by the Company’s stockholders. The BSB Warrant and all rights thereunder are transferable in whole, but not in part, only to an affiliate of the Lender in connection with the transfer and assignment by Lender to such affiliate of all of Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.

Each share of Series A Preferred is convertible into shares of common stock, at an initial conversion rate of 1-for-1, at any time at the discretion of the holder. The exercise price of the warrants is $3.40 per share, and the warrants are exercisable for five years.

Under the transaction documents, we agreed to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser and certain related persons and entities against all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, that any such indemnified party may incur as a result of or relating to (i) any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by us in any of the transaction documents, or (ii) with certain exceptions, any action instituted against such indemnified party arising out of or resulting from timeany of the transactions contemplated by the transaction documents, or (c) in connection with any registration statement of the Company providing for the resale by Purchasers of the Warrant Shares.

In connection with the sale of our securities or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell our securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Warrants that the selling stockholders may offer will be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriters may make a market in these securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot guarantee the liquidity of the trading markets for any securities.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 14.Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

The following table sets forth an estimate of the fees and expenses relating to the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered hereby, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, all of which shall be borne by the Registrant. All of such fees and expenses, except for the SEC registration fee, are estimated:

SEC registration fee $1,760 
Legal fees and expenses $10,000 
Printing expenses $4,000 
Accounting fees and expenses $10,000 
Miscellaneous fees and expenses $1,000

SEC registration fee$703
Legal fees and expenses$20,000
Accounting fees and expenses$25,000
Printing and miscellaneous fees and expenses$5,000
TOTAL:$50,703
Item 15.Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with various actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, a derivative action, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses including attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, agreement, a vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’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.

The Company’s Bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, as amended from time to time, each of its directors and officers, and may indemnify its employees and agents as set forth in the DGCL.

The DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for:

any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

The Company’s restated certificate of incorporation and Bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, none of our directors will be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages. Any repeal or modification of this provision will be prospective only and will not adversely affect any limitation, right or protection of a director of our company existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

II-1


We have also obtained liability insurance for our directors and officers that insures our directors and officers, within the limits and subject to the limitations of the policy, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of actions, suits or proceedings, and certain liabilities that might be imposed as a result of such actions, suits or proceedings, to which they are parties by reason of being or having been directors or officers. We may apply for insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or other agent for liability arising out of his or her actions, whether or not the DGCL would permit indemnification.

 II-1

We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers whereby we have agreed to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, including indemnification against expenses and liabilities incurred in legal proceedings to which the director or officer was, or is threatened to be made, a party by reason of the fact that such director or officer is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, provided that such director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner that the director or officer reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Company. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director or officer of the Company regarding which indemnification is sought, nor is the registrant aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

Securities and Exchange Commission Position Regarding Indemnification Liabilities Arising Under the Securities Act

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed 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.

Item 17.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 of 1933;
(ii)To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the 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 the 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 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 the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided,provided, however, that:

Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form SF-3 or Form F-3 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 Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(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.
(4)That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i)if the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of this Registration Statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.date; or

Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(5)That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii)The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 II-4

(c)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 Securities and Exchange Commission 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.
