6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under
Nevada law, a corporation may include in its articles of incorporation a provision that eliminates or limits the personal liability
of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, but no
such provision may eliminate or limit the liability of a director (a) for any breach of his or her fiduciary duty as a director,
(b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, (c) for
conduct violating the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”), or (d) for any transaction from which the director will personally
receive a benefit in money, property or services to which the director is not legally entitled.
Section
78.7502 of the NRS provides, in general, 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 the person 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 the person in connection with the action,
suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she 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
the conduct was unlawful.
NRS
Section 78.7502 also provides, in general, 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 or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment
in its favor by reason of the fact that the person 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 amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually
and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if the person acted in
good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation;
provided, however, that indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged
by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts
paid in settlement 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.
Any
indemnification pursuant to the above provisions may be made by a 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 such corporation’s stockholders; (b) by such corporation’s board of directors by majority vote of a quorum
consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding; (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.
Our
articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide, among other things, that a director or officer of the Company
may be indemnified against expenses, liability, and loss (including attorneys’ fees inclusive of any appeal), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, or investigative, to the fullest extent permitted under the NRS, unless it is ultimately determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. Our directors and officers
cannot be personally liable for damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except (a) for acts of omissions involving intentional misconduct,
fraud, or knowing violation of law, or (b) the payment of distributions in violation of Section 78.300 of the NRS.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be provided for directors, officers, employees, agents
or persons controlling an issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the opinion of the Commission is that such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
by such director, officer or controlling person of us 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 offered, we will, unless in the opinion
of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

9. Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned 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;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the 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 the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if
the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high
end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement;
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement
or any material change to such information in the 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 periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that are incorporated by reference in 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; and
(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 undersigned 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 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference
in the 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 any 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 of whether or not 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.
