      hereinafter defined) controlled directly or indirectly by the Company) and

    WHEREAS,
      the

      things, of any amendment to or revocation of any of the Company’s Articles of

    NOW,

      of the Indemnitee. This Agreement shall not impose any obligation on the
      Indemnitee or the Company to continue the Indemnitee’s service to the Company
      beyond any period otherwise required by law or by other agreements or
      commitments of the parties, if any.

    


    3. Agreement
      to Indemnify. The Company agrees to indemnify the Indemnitee as
      follows:

    


    (a) Subject
      to the exceptions contained in Section 4(a) below, if the Indemnitee was or
      is a
      party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (other than an
      action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the Indemnitee’s
      Corporate Status,
      the
      Indemnitee shall be indemnified by the Company against all Expenses and
      Liabilities incurred or paid by the Indemnitee in connection with such
      Proceeding (referred to herein as “Indemnifiable Expenses” and “Indemnifiable
      Liabilities”, respectively, and collectively as “Indemnifiable
      Amounts”).

    


    (b) To
      the
      fullest extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the exceptions
      contained in Section 4(b) below, if the Indemnitee was or is a party or is
      threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by or in the right of the
      Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the Indemnitee’s
      Corporate Status, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified by the Company against
      all
      Indemnifiable Expenses as well as against any amount paid by Indemnitee in
      settlement of the Proceeding.


    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    


    4. Exceptions
      to Indemnification. Upon receipt of a written claim addressed to the Board
      of
      Directors for indemnification pursuant to Section 3, the Company shall determine
      by any of the methods set forth in Section
      78.751 of the Nevada Revised Statutes
      whether
      the Indemnitee has met the applicable standards of conduct which makes is
      permissible under applicable law to indemnify the Indemnitee. If it is
      determined that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Indemnitee
      shall be entitled to such indemnification under Sections 3(a) and 3(b) above
      in
      all circumstances other than the following:

    


    (a) If
      indemnification is requested under Section 3(a) and it has been determined
      that,
      in connection with the subject of the Proceeding out of which the claim for
      indemnification has arisen, the Indemnitee failed to act (i) in good faith
      and
      (ii) in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
      to
      the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action
      or
      proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the Indemnitee’s
      conduct was unlawful, the Indemnitee shall not be entitled to payment of
      Indemnifiable Amounts hereunder.

    


    (b) If
      indemnification is requested under Section 3(b) and

    


    (i) it
      has
      been determined that, in connection with the subject of the Proceeding out
      of
      which the claim for indemnification has arisen, the Indemnitee failed to act
      (A)
      in good faith and (B) in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be
      in or
      not opposed to the best interests of the Company, the Indemnitee shall not
      be
      entitled to payment of Indemnifiable Expenses hereunder; or

    


    (ii) it
      has
      determined that the Indemnitee is liable to the Company with respect to any
      claim, issue or matter involved in the Proceeding out of which the claim for
      indemnification has arisen, no Indemnifiable Expenses shall be paid with respect
      to such claim, issue or matter unless a court of competent jurisdiction shall
      determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but
      in
      view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably
      entitled to indemnity for such Indemnifiable Expenses which such court shall
      deem proper.

    


    5. Procedure
      for Payment of Indemnifiable Amounts. The Indemnitee shall submit to the Company
      a written request specifying the Indemnifiable Amounts for which the Indemnitee
      seeks payment under Section 3 of this Agreement and the basis for the claim.
      The
      Company shall pay such Indemnifiable Amounts to the Indemnitee within ten (10)
      calendar days of receipt of the request. At the request of the Company, the
      Indemnitee shall furnish such documentation and information as is reasonably
      available to the Indemnitee and necessary to establish that the Indemnitee
      is
      entitled to indemnification hereunder.

    



    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    


    6. Indemnification
      for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding
      any
      other provision of this Agreement, and without limiting any such provision,
      to
      the extent that the Indemnitee is, by reason of the Indemnitee’s Corporate
      Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any
      Proceeding, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses reasonably
      incurred by the Indemnitee or on the Indemnitee’s behalf in connection
      therewith. If the Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but
      is
      successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all
      claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify the
      Indemnitee against all Expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee or on
      the
      Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue
      or matter. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any claim, issue
      or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall
      be
      deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

    


    7. Effect
      of
      Certain Resolutions. Neither the settlement nor termination of any Proceeding
      nor the failure of the Company to award indemnification or to determine that
      indemnification is payable shall create an adverse presumption that the
      Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. In addition, the
      termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or
      upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not create a presumption
      that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which the
      Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests
      of the Company or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
      reasonable cause to believe that the Indemnitee’s action was
      unlawful.

    


    8. Agreement
      to Advance Expenses; Conditions. The Company shall pay to the Indemnitee all
      Indemnifiable Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any
      Proceeding, including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company, in advance
      of the final disposition of such Proceeding, as the same are incurred. In making
      any such advance, the ability of the Indemnitee to repay shall not be a factor.
      To the extent required by Nevada law, the Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay
      the amount of Indemnifiable Expenses paid to the Indemnitee if it is finally
      determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Indemnitee is not
      entitled under this Agreement to indemnification with respect to such Expenses.
      This undertaking is an unlimited general obligation of the
      Indemnitee.

    


    9. Procedure
      for Advance Payment of Expenses. The Indemnitee shall submit to the Company
      a
      written request specifying the Indemnifiable Expenses for which the Indemnitee
      seeks an advance under Section 8 of this Agreement, together with documentation
      evidencing that the Indemnitee has incurred such Indemnifiable Expenses. Payment
      of Indemnifiable Expenses under Section 8 shall be made no later than ten (10)
      calendar days after the Company’s receipt of such request.

    



    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    


    10. Selection
      of Counsel. In the event the Company shall be obligated under this Agreement
      to
      pay Indemnifiable Expenses with respect to any Proceeding, the Company shall
      be
      entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel approved by
      the
      Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, upon delivery
      of
      written notice to the Indemnitee of the Company’s election to do so. After the
      Company’s assumption of the defense, the Company shall not be liable to the
      Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred
      by
      the Indemnitee with respect to such Proceeding; provided,
      however,
      that (i)
      the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his own counsel in any such
      Proceeding at the Indemnitee’s expense; and (ii) if the Indemnitee shall have
      reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest by reason of
      the
      representation in such Proceeding of the Indemnitee and the Company and/or
      any
      other defendants by the same counsel, then the Indemnitee may retain his own
      counsel with respect to such Proceeding and the fees and expenses of such
      counsel shall be an amount for which the Indemnitee is entitled to
      indemnification from the Company under this Agreement, and (iii) if the Company
      does not retain counsel after assuming the defense of the Proceeding or if
      counsel does not vigorously defend the Proceeding, then the Indemnitee may
      retain his own counsel with respect to such Proceeding and the fees and expenses
      of such counsel shall be an amount for which the Indemnitee is entitled to
      indemnification from the Company under this Agreement. The Indemnitee shall
      notify the Company in writing of any matter with respect to which the Indemnitee
      intends to seek indemnification hereunder as soon as reasonably practicable
      following the receipt by the Indemnitee of written notice thereof. The written
      notification to the Company shall be addressed to the Board of Directors and
      shall include a description of the nature of the Proceeding and the facts
      underlying the Proceeding and be accompanied by copies of any documents filed
      with the court in which the Proceeding is pending. In addition, the Indemnitee
      shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably
      require and as shall be within the Indemnitee’s power.

    


    11. Remedies
      of Indemnitee.

    


    (a) Right
      to
      Petition Court. In the event that the Indemnitee makes a request for payment
      of
      Indemnifiable Amounts under Sections 3 and 5 above, or a request for an advance
      of Indemnifiable Expenses under Sections 8 and 9 above, and the Company fails
      to
      make such payment or advance in a timely manner pursuant to the terms of this
      Agreement, the Indemnitee may petition a court of law to enforce the Company’s
      obligations under this Agreement.

    


    (b) Burden
      of
      Proof. In any judicial proceeding brought under Section 11(a) above, the Company
      shall have the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to payment
      of the Indemnifiable Amounts hereunder.

    


    (c) Expenses.
      So long as the Indemnitee prevails in any action he files pursuant to Section
      11(a) or if the Company and the Indemnitee settle such action, the Company
      agrees to reimburse the Indemnitee in full for any Expenses incurred by the
      Indemnitee in connection with investigating, preparing for, litigating,
      defending or settling any action brought by the Indemnitee under Section 11(a)
      above, or in connection with any claim or counterclaim brought by the Company
      in
      connection therewith.

    


    (d) Validity
      of Agreement. The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any Proceeding,
      including, without limitation, an action under Section 11(a) above, that the
      provisions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable or that
      there is insufficient consideration for this Agreement and shall stipulate
      in
      court that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this
      Agreement.

    


    (e) Failure
      to Act Not a Defense. The failure of the Company (including its Board of
      Directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel or stockholders)
      to make a determination concerning the permissibility of the payment of
      Indemnifiable Amounts or the advance of Indemnifiable Expenses under this
      Agreement shall not be a defense in any action brought under Section 11(a)
      above, and shall not create a presumption that such payment or advance is not
      permissible.


    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    


    


    12. Representations
      and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to
      the
      Indemnitee as follows:

    


    (a) Authority.
      The Company has all necessary power and authority to enter into, and be bound
      by
      the terms of, this Agreement, and the execution, delivery and performance of
      the
      undertakings contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by the
      Company.

    


    (b) Enforceability.
      This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Company in accordance with
      the provisions hereof, shall be a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
      Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except
      as
      such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
      moratorium, reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
      creditors’ rights generally.

    


    13. Insurance.
      In the event the Company obtains directors and officers liability insurance,
      the
      Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain such coverage in
      effect and the Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as
      to
      provide the Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the
      most
      favorably insured of the Company’s officers and directors. If, at the time of
      the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to Section 8 hereof, the Company
      has
      director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give
      prompt notice of the commencement of such Proceeding to the insurers in
      accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company
      shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers
      to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such
      Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

    


    14. Fees
      and
      Expenses. During the term of the Indemnitee’s service as an officer or director,
      the Company shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for all reasonable travel
      and other reasonable expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with
      the
      Indemnitee’s service as an officer or director or member of any board committee
      or otherwise in connection with the Company’s business.

    


    15. Contract
      Rights Not Exclusive. The rights to payment of Indemnifiable Amounts and
      advancement of Indemnifiable Expenses provided by this Agreement shall be in
      addition to, but not exclusive of, any other rights which Indemnitee may have
      at
      any time under applicable law, the Company’s by-laws or articles of
      incorporation, or any other agreement, vote of stockholders or directors (or
      a
      committee of directors), or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee’s
      official capacity and as to action in any other capacity as a result of
      Indemnitee’s serving as a director or officer of the Company.

    


    16. Successors.
      This Agreement shall be (a) binding upon all successors and assigns of the
      Company (including any transferee of all or a substantial portion of the
      business, stock and/or assets of the Company and any direct or indirect
      successor by merger or consolidation or otherwise by operation of law) and
      (b)
      binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, personal
      representatives, executors and administrators of Indemnitee. This Agreement
      shall continue for the benefit of Indemnitee and such heirs, personal
      representatives, executors and administrators after Indemnitee has ceased to
      have Corporate Status.


    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    


    


    17. Subrogation.
      In the event of any payment of Indemnifiable Amounts under this Agreement,
      the
      Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights
      of contribution or recovery of Indemnitee against other persons, and Indemnitee
      shall take, at the request of the Company, all reasonable action necessary
      to
      secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as are necessary
      to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

    


    18. Change
      in
      Law. To the extent that a change in Nevada law (whether by statute or judicial
      decision) shall permit broader indemnification or advancement of expenses than
      is provided under the terms of the by-laws of the Company and this Agreement,
      Indemnitee shall be entitled to such broader indemnification and advancements,
      and this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to such extent.

    


    19. Severability.
      Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in
      such
      a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
      of this Agreement, or any clause thereof, shall be determined by a court of
      competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, in whole or
      in
      part, such provision or clause shall be limited or modified in its application
      to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision or clause valid, legal
      and enforceable, and the remaining provisions and clauses of this Agreement
      shall remain fully enforceable and binding on the parties.

    


    20. Indemnitee
      as Plaintiff. Except as provided in Section 11(c) of this Agreement and in
      the
      next sentence, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to payment of Indemnifiable
      Amounts or advancement of Indemnifiable Expenses with respect to any Proceeding
      brought by Indemnitee against the Company, any Entity which it controls, any
      director or officer thereof, or any third party, unless the Company has
      consented to the initiation of such Proceeding. This Section shall not apply
      to
      counterclaims or affirmative defenses asserted by Indemnitee in an action
      brought against Indemnitee.

    


    21. Modifications
      and Waiver. Except as provided in Section 18 above with respect to changes
      in
      Nevada law which broaden the right of Indemnitee to be indemnified by the
      Company, no supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be
      binding unless executed in writing by each of the parties hereto. No waiver
      of
      any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute
      a
      waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement (whether or not similar),
      nor
      shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

    


    22. Notices.
      Any notice or demand which is required or provided to be given under this
      Agreement shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given and received for
      all
      purposes when delivered by hand, telecopy, telex or other method of facsimile,
      or five days after being sent by certified or registered mail, postage and
      charges prepaid, return receipt requested, or two days after being sent by
      overnight delivery providing receipt of delivery, if to the Company, to the
      address on record with the Securities and Exchange Commission as reported on
      its
      website www.sec.gov
      or at
      any other address designated by the Company to the Indemnitee in writing; if
      to
      the Indemnitee, at the address set forth below such Indemnitee’s name on the
      signature page hereto, or at any other address designated by the Indemnitee

    23. Governing
      Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced under the
      laws of the State of Nevada without giving effect to the provisions thereof
      relating to conflicts of law.

    


    24. Inability
      of the Company to Indemnify. Both the Company and the Indemnitee acknowledge
      that in certain instances federal law or applicable public policy may prohibit
      the Company from indemnifying its directors and officers under this Agreement
      or
      otherwise. The Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Company has
      undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with the appropriate
      state or federal regulatory agency to submit for approval any request for
      indemnification, and has undertaken or may be required in the future to
      undertake with the Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the question
      of
      indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of
      the
      Company’s right under public policy to indemnify the Indemnitee.
