indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding to which he is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party (including any action by or in the right of the corporation), if such action arises out of his acts on behalf of the corporation and he acted in good faith and that he
reasonably believed that conduct in his official capacity with the corporation was in the corporation&#146;s best interests and that in other cases, his conduct was not opposed to the corporation&#146;s best interests, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The indemnification provisions of Mississippi Code Ann.
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Section&nbsp;79-4-8.50</FONT></FONT> et seq. are not exclusive; however, a corporation may not indemnify any person who is adjudged liable to the corporation in an action by or in the

unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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. </P>
