Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) 78.7502 provides that a corporation may indemnify any director or officer against liabilities reasonably incurred in connection with any legal action to which the director or officer is made or threatened to be made a party in her or his official capacity, if the director or officer has (i) not breached a fiduciary duty pursuant to NRS 78.138, or (ii) acted in good faith, and, with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. NRS 78.751 provides that a corporation must so indemnify any such director or officer to the extent that the he or she is successful in defense of any such legal action. Unless ordered by a court, the indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.51 and 78.502 may not be made to any director or officer finally adjudged to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law.

 

NRS 78.752 provides that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any director or officer for any liability incurred in her or his official capacity (“Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance”), whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify such director or officer against such liability.

 

The Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Restated Articles”) and Bylaws, as amended, provide for indemnification of directors and officers of the Company to the fullest extent authorized by Nevada law. The Restated Articles further provide that the Company may maintain Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance to protect any director or officer of the Company.

 

The Company has historically maintained Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance.

Item 9. Undertakings.         

 

A.         The Company 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;

 

2

 

(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. 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 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in this effective Registration Statement;

 

(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) above do not apply if this Registration Statement is on Form S-8, and 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 Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

 

(2)         That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Company’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, 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 of 1933 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
