Calculated pursuant to 457(o) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, based on the proposed maximum aggregate offering price.  

(2)
The registrant previously registered securities at an aggregate offering price not to exceed $50,000,000 on a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-294296), which was filed by the registrant on March 13, 2026 and declared effective on March 23, 2026 (the "Prior Registration Statement"). In accordance with Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and General Instruction IV.A of Form S-3, an additional number of securities having a proposed maximum aggregate offering price of $10,000,000 is hereby registered on this Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement"), representing no more than 20% of the maximum aggregate offering price of unsold securities under the Prior Registration Statement. In no event will the maximum aggregate offering price of all securities issued pursuant to this Registration Statement and the Prior Registration Statement exceed that registered under such registration statements.
