On February 27, 2017, the board of directors of the Company (the
Board) approved the Companys entry into a Director and Officer
Indemnification Agreement (the Indemnification Agreement) with
each of its directors and such other officers as the Board
determines from time to time (each, an Indemnitee).This approval
formalizes the Companys intention, disclosed at the time of its
initial public offering and in subsequent filings, to enter into
such agreements with its directors and officers upon their
respective appointments.

to the terms of the Indemnification Agreement, the Company must
indemnify each Indemnitee if the Indemnitee is a party to or
threatened to be made a party to any proceeding by reason of the
fact that the Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the
Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a
director, officer, employee, or agent of another entity, against
all expenses, judgments, fines and penalties actually and
reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the
defense or settlement of such proceeding. The indemnification
must be provided only if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and
in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in the best
interests of the Company, or, in the case of a criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct
was unlawful. If the proceeding is brought by or in the right of
the Company, the Company need not provide indemnification for
expenses if the Indemnitee is judged to be liable to the Company,
unless the court in which the proceeding is brought determines
that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all
the circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses as the court deems
proper. No indemnification may be provided in connection with any
proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the Indemnitee,
whether or not involving action in his official capacity, in
which he is judged liable on the basis that personal benefit was
improperly received by him. The Company must advance all
reasonable expenses to the Indemnitee in connection with a
proceeding within 5 days after receipt of a notice from the
Indemnitee requesting the advance. The notice must include
reasonable evidence of the expenses and must be preceded or
accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee
to repay any expenses advanced if it is determined that the
Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against the
expenses. Notwithstanding the Indemnification Agreement, the
Company must indemnify the Indemnitee to the full extent
permitted by law, whether or not such indemnification is
specifically authorized by the other provisions of the
Indemnification Agreement, the Companys Certificate of
Incorporation, the Bylaws, or by statute.

The term of the Indemnification Agreement will continue until the
later of: (a) 10 years after the date that the Indemnitee ceases
to serve as a director or officer, or (b) the final termination
of all pending proceedings in respect of which the Indemnitee is
granted rights of indemnification or advancement of expenses
under the Indemnification Agreement.

The Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement
of expenses under the Indemnification Agreement with respect to
any proceeding brought or made by him against the Company.

The foregoing is only summary of the form of Indemnification
Agreement attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 10.1 and is
qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Indemnification
Agreement, which is incorporated into this Item 5.02 by
reference.
