The Prior Registration Statement included a base prospectus (the “Prior Base Prospectus”) registering the offering, issuance and sale by the Company an indeterminate amount of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, depositary shares, warrants, subscription rights, purchase contracts and units, as may from time to time be offered pursuant to the Prior Registration Statement at indeterminate prices, along with an indeterminate number of securities that may be issued upon exercise, settlement, exchange or conversion of securities offered or sold thereunder. In connection with the filing of the Prior Registration Statement, the Company made a contemporaneous fee payment in the amount of $43,640.00 based on the fee rate then in effect. Pursuant to Rule 457(p), the Registrant is offsetting $43,640 of the fees associated with this current registration statement from the filing fee previously paid in connection with the Prior Registration Statement. The Registrant hereby confirms that the Prior Registration Statement has expired, that the Registrant made no offerings of any of the securities registered under the Prior Registration Statement, and that all offerings thereunder have terminated.
