ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS The company's by-laws, in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes, provide that to the extent he/she is otherwise fairly and reasonably entitled thereto, the Company shall indemnify a Director or Officer, a former Director or Officer, or a person who acts or acted at the Company's request as a Director or Officer of a body corporate of which the Corporation is or was a shareholder or creditor (or a person who undertakes or has undertaken any liability on behalf of the Company or any such body corporate and his heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of being or having been a Director or Officer of the Company or such body corporate, if (a) he acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company; and (b) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, he had reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful.
