| · | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether such options are listed on an options exchange 
 or otherwise;                                                                                                                      |

| · | a combination of any such methods of sale; and |

| · | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |

We may sell the securities (1) through underwriters
or dealers, (2) through agents or (3) directly to one or more purchasers, or through a combination of such methods. We may distribute
the securities on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of
sale, in the over-the-counter market or in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market
from time to time in one or more transactions at:

| · | a fixed price or prices, which may be changed from time to time; |

| · | market prices prevailing at the time of sale; |

| · | prices related to the prevailing market prices; or |

| · | negotiated prices. |

We may also designate agents to solicit offers
to purchase the securities from time to time, and may enter into arrangements for “at-the-market,” equity line or similar
transactions. We will name in a prospectus supplement any underwriter or agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities.

If we utilize a dealer in the sale of the securities
being offered by this prospectus, we will sell the securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to
the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.

If an underwriter is used in the sale of the securities
being offered by this prospectus, an underwriting agreement will be executed with the underwriter at the time of sale, and the name of
any underwriter will be provided in any prospectus supplement, if required, which the underwriter will use to make resales of the securities
to the public. In connection with the sale of the securities, we, or the purchasers of the securities for whom the underwriter may act
as agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions. The underwriter may sell the securities
to or through dealers, and the underwriter may compensate those dealers in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions.
