Legal Proceedings

        The Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings. The Company is not aware of any pending legal proceeding to which any of its officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of its voting securities are adverse to the Company or have a material interest adverse to the Company.

Indemnification

        The Company enters into standard indemnification arrangements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified parties for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, in connection with any trade secret, copyright, patent or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third-party with respect to the Company's technology. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these agreements is not determinable because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but have not yet been made.

        The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that may require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of the individual.

        The Company has not incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. No liability associated with such indemnifications has been recorded to date.

New formulation patents developed by the Company will be the sole ownership of the Company. The agreement gives the Company a perpetual, fully paid-up, non-exclusive license to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale and import products.
