Item
1. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered 

 

Holders
of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share in all matters to be voted on by the shareholders, except that, upon giving
notice as required by law, shareholders may cumulate their votes in the election of directors. In the event of a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after
payment of the Company's liabilities and liquidation preference, if any, of any then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. The
Company is authorized to issue up to three million shares of undesignated Preferred Stock. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive
rights and no rights to convert their Common Stock into any other securities, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions
with respect to such shares. There is no Preferred Stock outstanding today. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders
of Common Stock are subject to, and may be materially adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series
of Preferred Stock which the Company may designate and issue in the future.
Item 2.
Exhibits

of the Registrant are to be registered on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC and the securities to be registered hereby are not being
registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
