(3) Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(h) of the Securities Act, and based on $5.28, the weighted average exercise price (rounded to the nearest cent) of the outstanding option awards under the 2024 Plan as of the date of this Registration Statement.</ffd:OfferingNote>
