Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Pursuant to §16-10a-902 of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (the “Utah Act”), the Registrant may indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because they are or were a director, against liability incurred in the proceeding, if such individual acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Registrant and, in a criminal proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. Indemnification under this provision is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding. Pursuant to the Utah Act, the Registrant’s Board of Directors may also indemnify its officers, agents, or employees against any loss or damage sustained when acting in good faith in the performance of their corporate duties.
Registrant must indemnify a director or officer who is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter in the proceeding, to which they are a party to because they are or were a director of officer of the Registrant, against reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with the proceeding or claim with respect to which they have been successful.
Registrant may pay for or reimburse reasonable expenses incurred by a director, officer employee, fiduciary or agent of the Registrant who is a party to a proceeding in advance of final disposition of the proceeding provided the individual furnishes the Registrant with a written affirmation that their conduct was in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Registrant, and undertake to pay the advance if it is ultimately determined that they did not meet such standard of conduct.
Also pursuant to the Utah Act, a corporation may set forth in its articles of incorporation, by-laws or by resolution, a provision eliminating or limiting in certain circumstances, liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for any action taken or any failure to take action as a director. This provision does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for the amount of a financial benefit received by a director to which they are not entitled; (ii) an intentional infliction of harm on the corporation or its shareholders; (iii) for liability for a violation of Section 16-10a-842 of the Utah Act (relating to the distributions made in violation of the Utah Act); and (iv) an intentional violation of criminal law. To date, the Registrant has not adopted such a provision in its Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws, or by resolution. A corporation may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such provision becomes effective.

The Utah Act also permits a corporation to purchase and maintain liability insurance on behalf of its directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents. To date, the Registrant does not carry any such insurance.
