Item
6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Subsection
1 of Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is
a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that he is or was
a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee, or agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines,
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if he is not
liable pursuant to Section 78.138 of the NRS or if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation and, respecting any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful. Section 78.138 of the NRS provides that, with certain exceptions, a director or officer is not individually liable to the
corporation or its stockholders for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his capacity as a director or officer unless
it is proven that: (i) his act or failure to act constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties as a director or officer; and (ii) his
breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law.
Subsection
2 of Section 78.7502 empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of
the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set forth above against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’
fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, if he acted under similar
standards, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person has been adjudged
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and
only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought determines that, despite the adjudication of liability, such
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
Section
78.7502 further provides that any discretionary indemnification pursuant to this section, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant
to subsection 2 of NRS 78.751, may be made by the corporation only as authorized in each specific case upon a determination that the
indemnification of a director, officer, employee, or agent of a corporation is proper under the circumstances. The determination must
be made by: (a) the stockholders; (b) the board of directors, by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were
not parties to the action, suit or proceeding; or (c) independent legal counsel, in a written opinion, if: (1) a majority vote
of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit, or proceeding so orders; or (2) a quorum consisting
of directors who were not parties to the action, suit, or proceeding cannot be obtained. Section 78.751 of the NRS provides that the
indemnification provided for by Section 78.7502 will not be deemed exclusive or exclude any other rights to which the indemnified party
may be entitled and that the scope of indemnification will continue as to directors, officers, employees, or agents that have ceased
to hold such positions and to their heirs, executors, and administrators. Section 78.752 of the NRS empowers the corporation to purchase
and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation against
any liability asserted against him or incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such whether or not the corporation
would have the power to indemnify him against such liabilities under Section 78.7502.
Article
IV, Section 11, of the Company’s bylaws provides that the Company may indemnify directors and officers of the Company and hold
them harmless, and make no claim against them for any act or failure to act with respect to the business of the Company unless any such
act or omission is the result of gross negligence or willful neglect.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is contrary
to public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and, therefore, is unenforceable.

Item
9. Undertakings
Undertaking
Required by Item 512(a) of Regulation S-K: The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
|
(1) |
To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
|
(i) |
To
include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if
the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end
of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and |
|
|
|
|
(iii) |
To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement
or any material change to such information in the registration statement. |
|
(2) |
That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
|
|
|
|
(3) |
To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering. |
Undertaking
Required by Item 512(b) of Regulation S-K: The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
Undertaking
Required by Item 512(h) of Regulation S-K: Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has
been advised that in the opinion of the SEC 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 the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant 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 registrant 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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of
the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in Eatontown, New Jersey, on the 22nd day of June, 2022.
