In addition, an unspecified number of additional shares of common stock is being registered as may be issued from time to time upon conversion of any debt securities that are convertible into common stock or pursuant to any anti-dilution adjustments with respect to any such convertible debt securities. The shares of common stock and preferred stock being registered hereunder also include rights to acquire shares of common stock or preferred stock under any shareholder rights plan then in effect, if applicable under the terms of any such plan.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The proposed maximum aggregate offering price of each class of securities will be determined from time to time by the registrant in connection with the issuance by the registrant of the securities registered hereunder and is not specified as to each class of securities pursuant to Rule 457(o) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#x201c;Securities Act&#x201d;).
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
The maximum aggregate offering price indicated above is estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(o) under the Securities Act.
