Allowance for Compliance with SEC Requirements. Indemnitee acknowledges that the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has expressed the opinion that indemnification of directors and officers from liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. Indemnitee hereby acknowledges and agrees that it will not be a breach of this Agreement for the Corporation to undertake with the SEC in connection with the registration for sale of any capital stock or other securities of the Corporation from time to time that, in the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Corporation of expenses incurred or paid by a director or officer of the Corporation in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted in connection with such capital stock or other securities being registered, the Corporation will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of competent jurisdiction on the question of whether or not such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. Indemnitee further agrees that such submission to a court of competent jurisdiction shall not be a breach of this Agreement.

Allowance for Compliance with SEC Requirements. The Indemnified Party acknowledges that the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has expressed the opinion that indemnification of directors and officers from liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and, is therefore, unenforceable. The Indemnified Party hereby agrees that it will not be a breach of this Agreement for the Corporation to undertake with the SEC in connection with the registration for sale of any stock or other securities of the Corporation from time to time that, in the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Corporation of expenses incurred or paid by a director of officer of the Corporation in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted in connection with such stock or other securities being registered, the Corporation will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of competent jurisdiction on the question of whether or not such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ALLOWANCE FOR COMPLIANCE WITH SEC REQUIREMENTS. Director acknowledges that the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) has expressed the opinion that indemnification of directors and officers from liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Act”) is against public policy as expressed in the Act and, is therefore, unenforceable. Director hereby agrees that it will not be a breach of this Agreement for the Corporation to undertake with the Commission in connection with the registration for sale of any stock or other securities of the Corporation from time to time that, in the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Corporation of expenses incurred or paid by a director or officer of the Corporation in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted in connection with such stock or other securities being registered, the Corporation will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of competent jurisdiction on the questions of whether or not such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. Director further agrees that such submission to a court of competent jurisdiction shall not be a breach of this Agreement.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to Officers of Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Board of Directors has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Company of expenses incurred or paid by an Officer of Company in the wholly or partially successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by Indemnitee in connection with Company securities which have been registered, 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 hereunder is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. In effect, therefore, absent a court decision in the individual case or controlling precedent, the provisions of the Agreement will not apply to liabilities of Indemnitee arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (primarily relating to public distributions of securities) unless and only to the extent that Indemnitee is successful in the defense of the action, suit or proceeding in question.
