In connection with the filing of the Prior Prospectus Supplement, the total registration fee of $33,060 was satisfied by offsetting the full amount of the registration fee with (i) registration fees of $12,209 previously paid on the unsold securities offered by means of a prospectus supplement, dated February 5, 2020, pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-236249), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 4, 2020, and (ii) registration fees of $20,851 previously paid on unsold securities offered by means of a prospectus supplement, dated February 8, 2017, pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-215936), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 7, 2017.
