Not applicable.

 

 

 

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;

“(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

“(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,
