Section 78.7502 of the NRS precludes indemnification by the corporation if the officer or director has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court determines that in view of all the circumstances, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses and Section 78.7502 requires a corporation to indemnify its officers and directors if they have been successful on the merits of the action or otherwise in defense of any claim, issue, or matter resulting from their service as a director or officer.</p>

Section 78.751 of the NRS provides that the articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement may require a corporation to advance expenses as incurred upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the officer or director to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation if so provided in the corporation&#8217;s articles of incorporation, bylaws, or other agreement.

The Registrant has obtained primary and excess insurance policies insuring its directors and officers and its subsidiaries against certain liabilities they may incur in their capacity as directors and officers. Under such policies, the insurer, on the Registrant&#8217;s behalf, may also pay amounts for which the Registrant has granted indemnification to the directors or officers.</p>

The reduction of the amounts payable hereunder, if applicable, shall be made (A) only from Payments that the Accounting Firm determines reasonably may be characterized as &#8220;parachute payments&#8221; under Section 280G of the Code; (B) only from Payments that are required to be made in cash, (C) only with respect to any amounts that are not payable pursuant to a &#8220;nonqualified deferred compensation plan&#8221; subject to Section 409A of the Code, until those payments have been reduced to zero, and (D) in reverse chronological order, to the extent that any Payments subject to reduction are made over time (e.g., in installments). In no event, however, shall any Payments be reduced if and to the extent such reduction would cause a violation of Section 409A of the Code or other applicable law.
