Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Sections 850-859 of Title 30, Chapter 1 of the Idaho Code and the Company’s Bylaws, taken together, provide that the Company may indemnify any person who was or is involved in any manner or was or is threatened to be made so involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a “director or officer” (defined as anyone serving at the Company’s request as a director, officer, partner, trustee employee or agent of another domestic or foreign corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other entity), against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and with respect to a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The Company may not, however, provide such indemnification on account of acts or omissions finally adjudged to be the receipt of a financial benefit to which the director or officer is not entitled, an intentional infliction of harm on the Company or its shareholders, an unlawful distribution to shareholders under § 30-1-833 of the Idaho Code, or an intentional violation of criminal law. The indemnification provisions of the Idaho Code and the Company’s Bylaws include the right of an indemnitee to receive payment of any expenses incurred in connection with a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding, consistent with applicable law. The Idaho Code and the Company’s Bylaws specify certain procedures and conditions that apply with respect to indemnification and the advancement of expenses.
Indemnification of any person serving as a director or officer (who is also not a director) as described in the preceding paragraph, is mandatory to the extent that such person has been wholly successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the subject action, suit or proceeding.
The indemnification rights described in the preceding paragraphs are not exclusive of other rights to which any person seeking indemnification may otherwise be entitled under current or future laws or by agreement with the Company.
The Company may also purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any present or past director or officer pursuant to which such person served in that capacity at the Company’s request. Such insurance or other financial arrangements

may cover liabilities asserted against or expenses incurred by, such person in any of the aforementioned capacities, regardless of whether the Company would have the authority to indemnify such person.
Besides indemnification, the Articles of Incorporation contain a provision that limits the personal liability of the Company’s directors and officers to the Company or its shareholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except liability for acts or omissions that involve the receipt of a financial benefit to which the director or officer is not entitled, an intentional infliction of harm on the Company or its shareholders, an unlawful distribution to shareholders under § 30-1-833 of the Idaho Code, or an intentional violation of criminal law.

Item 9. Undertakings.
A. | 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,

Table of Contents
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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement;
(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;
Provided,however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference 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.
B. 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 Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the 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.
C. 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 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 the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer of 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.
