Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Our bylaws do not contain a provision entitling
any director or executive officer to indemnification against
its liability under the Securities Act. The Nevada Revised Statutes
allows a company to indemnify its officers,
directors, employees, and agents from any threatened, pending,
or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, except under
certain circumstances. Indemnificatio n may only occur
if a determination has been made that the officer, director,
employee, or agent acted in good faith and in a manner,
which such person believed to be in the best interests of the
Registrant. A determination may be made by the
stockholders; by a majority of the directors who were not parties
to the action, suit, or proceeding confirmed by
opinion of independent legal counsel; or by opinion of independent
legal counsel in the event a quorum of directors
who were not a party to such action, suit, or proceeding does
not exist.
2
Provided the terms and conditions of these
provisio ns under Nevada law are met, officers, directors,
employees, and agents of the Registrant may be inde mnified
against any cost, loss, or expense arising out of any
liability under the Securities Act. Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant, we have been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification
is against public policy and is, therefore,
unenforceable.
The Nevada Revised Statutes, stated herein,
provide further for permissive indemnification of officers and
directors.
“A. NRS 78.7502 . Discretionary and
mandatory indemnification of o fficers, directors, employees and
agents: General provisions.
“1. A corporation may indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, except an action b y or in
the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is
or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation,
or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding
if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action,
suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction
or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent,
does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did
not act in good faith and in a manner wh ich he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the corporation, and that, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe
that his conduct was unlawful.
“2. A corporation may indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action
or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was
a director, officer, employee or agent o f the corporation,
or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against
expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and
attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him
in connection with the defense or settlement o f the action or
suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner whic h he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made
for any claim, issue or matter as to wh ich such a
person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction,
after exhaustion of all appeals therefr om, to be liable
to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlemen t to the
corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in
which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent
jurisdiction determines upon application that in
view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses
as the court deems proper.
“3. To the extent that a director,
officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action,
suit or proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2,
or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation
shall indemnify him against expen ses, including
attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred b y
him in connection with the defense.
“B. NRS 78.751 . Authorization required
for discretionary indemni fication; advancement of expenses;
limitation on indemnification and advancement of expenses.
“1. Any discretionary indemnification
under NRS 78 .7502 unless ordered by a court or
advanced pursuant to subsection 2, may be made by t he corporation
only as authorized in the specific case upon a
determination that indemnification of the director, officer,
employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The
determination must be made:
“(a) By the stockholders;
“(b) By the board of directors by
majority vote o f a quorum consisting of directors
who were not parties to the action, suit or proceed ing;
3
“c) If a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of directors who were not parties to the
action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel
in a written opinion; or
“(d) If a quorum consisting of directors
who were not parties to the action, suit or
proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel
in a written opinion.
“2. The articles of incorporation,
the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may
provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred
in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding
must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in
advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or
proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
the director or officer to repay the amo unt if it is
ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that
he is not entitled to be indemnified b y the
corporation. The provisions of this subsection do not affect
any rights to advancement of expenses to which
corporate personnel other than directors or officers may be
entitled under any contract or otherwise b y law.
“3. The indemnification and advancement
of expenses authorized in NRS 78.7502 or ordered
by a court pursuant to this section:
“(a) Does not exclude any other rights
to which a person seeking indemnification or
advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of
incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either
an action in his official capacity or an action in
another capacity while holding his office, except t hat indemnification,
unless ordered by a court pursuant to or for
the advancement of expenses made pursuant to subsection 2, may
not be made to or on behalf of any director or
officer if a final adjudication establishes that his acts or
omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a
knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of
action.
“(b) Continues for a person who has
ceased to be a director, officer, employee or
agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such a person.
“C. NRS 78.752 . Insurance and other
financial arrangements against liability of directors, officers,
employees and agents.
“1. A corporation may purchase and
maintain insurance or make other financial
arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corpo ration, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise for any
liability asserted against him and liability and expenses
incurred by him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee
or agent, or arising out of his statu s as such, whether
or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify him against
such liability and expenses.
“2. The other financial arrangements
made by the corporation pursuant to subsection 1 may
include the following:
“(a) The creation of a trust fund.
“(b) The establishment of a program
of self-insurance.
“(c) The securing of its obligation
of indemnification by granting a security interest
or other lien on any assets of the corporation.
“(d) The establishment of a letter
of credit, guaranty or surety. No financial
arrangement made pursuant to this subsection may provide protection
for a person adjudged by a court o f competent
jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to
be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing
violation of law, except with respect to the advancement of
expenses or indemnification ordered by a court.
“3. Any insurance or other financial
arrangement made on behalf of a person pursuant to this
section may be provided by the corporation or any o ther person
approved by the board of directors, even if all or
part of the other person’s stock or other securities is
owned by the corporation.
4
“4. In the absence of fraud:
“(a) The decision of the board of
directors as to the propriety of the terms and
conditions of any insurance or other financial arrangement made
pursuant to this section and the choice of the
person to provide the insurance or other financial arrangement
is conclusive; and
“(b) The insurance or other financial
arrangement :
“1. Is not void or voidable; and
“2. Does not subject any director
approving it to personal liability for his
action, even if a director approving the insurance or other
financial arrangement is a beneficiary of the insurance or
other financial arrangement.
“5. A corporation or its subsidiary
which provides self-insurance for itself or for another
affiliated corporation pursuant to this section isnot subject
to the provisions of Title 57 of the Nevada Revised
Statutes.”

where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s

the final adjudication of such issue.
