three options multiplied by the proposed maximum offering price per-share of 22½ cents; (iii) 1,732,988 shares underlying

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors
and Officers.
Section 78.502
of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) provides that 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 by 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 entity, 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 believe 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. With respect to actions or
suits by or in the right of the corporation, Section 78.7502 of the NRS provides that a corporation may indemnify those serving
in the capacities mentioned above against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit, provided that such person 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. 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, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses,
including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.
Section 78.751 of
the NRS provides that 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 an action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation 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 amount if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. Section 78.751
further provides that indemnification and advancement of expense provisions contained in the NRS shall not be deemed exclusive
of any rights to which a director, officer, employee or agent may be entitled, whether contained in the articles of incorporation
or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, provided, however, that no indemnification
may 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.
The Registrant's
articles of incorporation limit the liability of its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. This
is intended to allow the Registrant's directors and officers the benefit of Nevada law which provides that directors and officers
of Nevada corporations may be relieved of liabilities for damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors and officers,
except under certain circumstances, including (i) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation
of law or (ii) the willful or grossly negligent payment of unlawful distributions. The Registrant's bylaws provide for indemnification
to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law and permit the Registrant to advance expenses to its directors and officers to the
fullest extent permitted by Nevada law upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such
amount if it should be ultimately determined that they are not entitled to indemnification by the Registrant.
The Registrant maintains
officer and director liability insurance for its officers and directors with respect to liabilities arising out of certain matters.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The Registrant
hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during
any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any
prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”);
(ii) To reflect
in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include
any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
Provided, however
, that paragraphs
(a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs
is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference into the registration statement.
(2) That, for the
purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from
registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.
(b) The Registrant
hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference into this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that, in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
