ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Article XI of the Company's Articles of Incorporation for the Company do contain
provisions for indemnification of the officers and directors; in addition,
Section 78.751 of the Nevada General Corporation Laws provides as follows:
78.751 Indemnification of officers, directors,
employees and agents; advance of expenses.
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 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 corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him
in connection with the action, suitor 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 which 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 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 him in connection with the defense or settlement of
the action or suit 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. 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 there from, 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.
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, he must be indemnified by the corporation against
expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him
in connection with the defense.
4. Any indemnification under subsections 1 and 2, unless ordered by a court or
advanced pursuant to subsection 5, must be made by the 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 of a quorum consisting of directors who were not
parties to act, suit or proceeding; (c) If a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, 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 act, suit or
proceeding cannot to obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion; or
5. 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, 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 amount if it is
ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not
entitled to be indemnified by corporation. The provisions of this
subsection do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which
corporate personnel other than the directors or officers may be entitled
under any contract or otherwise by law.
6. The indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized in 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 that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to
subsection 2 or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to subsection 5,
may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a final
adjudication establishes that his act 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 endures to the benefit of the heirs, executors
and administrators of such a person.
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 Securities and Exchange 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.
ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED
Not Applicable.
