RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all
other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus,
before you decide whether to purchase shares of our common stock.
We are subject to a number of risks related to our business strategy, our
industry, our stock and this offering. We describe some of these risks below.
If any of these risks materialize, our business, financial condition and results
of operations could be harmed, the market price of our common stock could
decline, or both.
Risks Related to Our Business Strategy
We have refocused our business strategy, and our new strategy may not be
successful.
Prior to March 1998, our strategy was to deliver training in vocational and
advanced technical subjects directly to students through a nationwide network of
training centers. In March 1998, we began to close our training center network
and refocus our efforts on selling our education and certification programs
through other third party training providers and directly to companies that wish
to provide internal training to employees. It is too early to know whether the
refocusing of our business strategy will help us achieve long-term success.
Companies that implement major changes in their business strategy can face
challenging risks and unexpected difficulties.
We have relied, and expect to continue to rely, on a limited number of customers
for the majority of our revenue, and any loss of revenue or delay in receiving
revenue from these customers could harm our financial performance.
Each quarter, we derive a significant portion of our revenue from a small
number of customers, and we expect that we will continue to depend upon a small
number of customers for a significant portion of our revenue. In fiscal 2000,
IBM's Software Group and Global Services Division represented 22.9% of our
revenue. If we lose IBM as a customer, or if revenue from IBM is delayed, our
operating results could suffer.
We must deliver courses and certification standards that meet the needs of our
customers or our business will suffer.
The market for Internet education and training products is characterized by
rapidly changing technologies, frequent new product and service introductions
and evolving industry standards. The growth in the use of the Internet and
intense competition in our industry exacerbate these market characteristics. To
be competitive, we must develop and introduce on a timely basis course content
and certification standards that meet the needs of companies seeking to use our
courseware, Internet skills education and certification programs. The quality
of our education programs depends in large part on our ability to frequently
update our courses and develop new content to adapt to rapidly changing
technologies and customer demands. Prior to our development of internal
expertise in a particular subject matter, we receive courseware content from,
and depend on the cooperation of, the following sources:
. training center providers, who provide us with information on the types
of courses and modes of training demanded by their customers;
. Internet-related technologies experts, who provide us with courseware
content and updates; and
3
. standards bodies such as the World Wide Web Consortium, and industry
associations such as Association of Internet Professionals, Internet
Webmasters Association and Computing Technology Industry Association,
who convene industry participants to set standards and guidelines for
Internet technologies, job roles and certification.
If we do not have internally-developed expertise in a particular subject
matter and we are unable to receive information from the sources listed above in
a timely manner, we may not be able to develop or deliver specialized courses or
updates for our customers in the time frame they are expecting. Even if we do
receive necessary information from third parties, if our employees and
consultants, upon whom we rely for instructional planning and course design
expertise, fail to complete their work in a timely manner, we will be unable to
meet customer expectations. Any prolonged delays could lead to a failure to
satisfy a customer's demands and damage our reputation.
If we are unsuccessful in increasing public recognition of our CIW brand, we may
be unable to grow our business.
We believe that establishing and maintaining favorable perception of our
CIW brand in the Internet industry, particularly among businesses seeking to
hire qualified Internet professionals, is critical to attracting and expanding
our customer base. To build our CIW brand, we must succeed in our marketing
efforts, provide high-quality services and products and achieve widespread
acceptance of our certification standards. The Internet education and
certification market is new and evolving and our long-term success is dependent
on our ability to be perceived as a leading provider. If we fail to
successfully promote and maintain our CIW brand, we may be unable to grow our
business.
The variability and length of our sales cycle for our Internet education and
certification programs may make our operating results unpredictable and
volatile.
The period between our initial contact with a potential customer and the
first purchase of our programs by that customer typically ranges from 3 to 9
months, and in some cases is considerably longer. Additionally, the initial
sales are often only a fraction of the potential total value of the customer
relationship, and the full sales potential may not be realized for several
years. Factors which may contribute to the variability and length of our sales
cycle include the time it takes:
. for us to educate potential customers about the benefits of our
education and certification programs;
. for our potential customers to assess the value of our educational and
certification programs;
. for our potential customers to evaluate our competitors' educational and
certification programs;
. for our potential customers to complete internal budget and approval
processes, which in many large corporations can be an extended period;
and
. for us to educate our potential customers' sales forces and
instructors.
As a result of our variable and lengthy sales cycle, we have only a limited
ability to forecast the timing and size of specific sales, which makes it
difficult to predict quarterly financial performance.
4
Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations, which may adversely affect our
revenue and operating results.
Our revenue and income vary from quarter to quarter due to seasonal and
other factors. Our course titles are organized primarily into five day courses
which are held during the span of a typical business week. Because of the
Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year holidays that occur during the second
quarter of our fiscal year, up to four weeks during that fiscal quarter have
fewer than five business days. In the European market, August is usually a slow
month because many workers take their four week summer holiday at that time.
Our training providers are typically unable to offer our courses during those
weeks, which results in a reduction in orders for our courseware and lower
royalty payments under existing courseware licenses. As a result, we experience
greater revenue in the second half of our fiscal year, February through July,
than in the first half of our fiscal year, August through January and
specifically, our revenue will typically be lower in our second fiscal quarter
than during the rest of our fiscal year. If we fail to properly manage our
financial operations during these seasonal fluctuations, our revenue and
operating results may be adversely affected.
If we fail to manage our growth effectively, we may not be able to take
advantage of business opportunities or adequately support our existing customer
base, which would severely impact our ability to compete.
Our recent rapid growth has placed, and future anticipated growth is likely
to continue to place, a considerable strain on our managerial resources. We
plan to continue to expand our sales and marketing, administration, content and
technology development and instruction systems. To manage this growth
effectively, we will need to improve our financial and managerial controls and
our reporting systems and procedures. In addition, we will need to expand,
train and manage our work force. If we fail to manage our growth effectively,
we will not be able to capitalize on attractive business opportunities and may
fail to adequately support our existing customer base. Should this occur, our
reputation and competitive position could be damaged.
Our future growth depends on successful hiring and retention of skilled
personnel, and we may be unable to hire and retain the skilled personnel we
need.
The growth of our business and revenues will depend in large part upon our
ability to attract and retain sufficient numbers of highly skilled employees,
particularly instructors, course content developers and technical, sales and
marketing personnel. Additionally, our ability to adequately staff our classes
is directly tied to the availability and competency of third-party instructors
whom we use to teach a number of our courses. Qualified personnel are in great
demand throughout education and Internet-related industries and we require a
relatively rare blend of technical and communication skills. As a result of a
typically heavy travel schedule and a high demand from customers for our
instructors, we expect instructor turnover to average at least 20% per year.
Our success also depends significantly on our ability to leverage our
relationships with our CIW Authorized Training Providers, or CIW ATPs, and other
existing customers, and to increase our presence in existing and new markets,
including academic, vocation and e-learning markets. Our ability to do this
depends on our ability to increase our sales and marketing staff by recruiting,
training, motivating and managing highly skilled sales and marketing employees.
Our failure to attract and retain highly skilled instructors, course content
developers and technical, sales and marketing personnel may limit the rate at
which we can grow and may otherwise harm our business and financial performance.
5
We currently intend to continue to expand internationally and, as a result, we
could become subject to new risks.
We intend to continue to expand our business internationally. This will
require significant management attention and financial resources and could
subject us to new risks, including:
. little or no protection of our intellectual property rights in some
foreign countries;
. difficulties in staffing and managing international operations;
. difficulties in developing content localized for international
jurisdictions;
. protectionist laws and business practices that favor local competitors;
. multiple, conflicting and changing governmental laws and regulations;
. slower adoption of industry certification;
. differences in learning styles;
. longer sales and payment cycles;
. greater difficulties in collecting accounts receivable;
. fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
. political and economic instability;
. potentially adverse tax consequences; and
. increases in tariffs, duties, price controls or other restrictions on
foreign currencies or trade barriers imposed by foreign countries.
If we are unable to successfully enter or compete in international markets,
our growth may be slowed.
Any acquisitions that we undertake could be difficult to integrate, disrupt our
business and damage our financial performance.
We have in the past acquired and may in the future acquire or make
investments in complementary businesses, technologies, services or products if
appropriate opportunities arise. We may have trouble achieving the anticipated
benefits of these acquisitions. If we acquire a company in the future, we could
have difficulty integrating that company's personnel, operations, technology,
products or services with our business. In addition, the key personnel of the
acquired company may decide not to work for us. These difficulties could
disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase
our expenses and adversely affect our results of operations. Furthermore, we
may incur indebtedness or issue equity securities to pay for any future
acquisitions. The issuance of equity securities could be dilutive to our
existing stockholders.
6
Our inability to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights and
our Internet domain names could lead to unauthorized use of our courseware or
certification tests and hurt our business.
Our success depends, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary
rights and technology. We rely on a combination of copyrights, trademarks,
service marks, trade secret laws and employee and third-party nondisclosure
agreements to protect our proprietary rights. Despite our efforts to protect
these rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to duplicate or copy our
courseware, certification tests or delivery technology or obtain and use
information that we regard as proprietary. In addition, the laws of many
countries do not protect our proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the
laws of the United States. As a consequence, effective trademark, service mark,
copyright and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in
which we make our courseware available. In addition, it is possible that third
parties could acquire trademarks or domain names that are substantially similar
or conceptually similar to our trademarks or domain names. This could decrease
the value of our trademarks or domain names and hurt our business. The
regulation of domain names in the United States and in foreign countries is
subject to change. The relationship between regulations governing domain names
and laws protecting trademarks and similar proprietary rights is unclear. As a
result, we may not be able to acquire or maintain exclusive rights to our domain
names in the United States or in other countries in which we conduct business.
We could be subject to legal actions based upon the content we obtain from third
parties over whom we exert limited control.
It is possible that we could become subject to legal actions based upon
claims that our courseware content infringes the rights of others or is
erroneous. Any such claims, with or without merit, could subject us to costly
litigation and divert our financial resources and management personnel. If
those claims are successful, we may be required to alter our courseware content,
pay financial damages or obtain content from others.
Our products may be susceptible to claims by other companies that our products
infringe upon their copyrights or other intellectual property rights, which
could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
If any of our products violate the proprietary rights of third parties, we
may be required to modify our educational programs or to obtain licenses to
continue offering our educational programs without substantial reengineering.
Any efforts to reengineer our products or obtain licenses from third parties may
not be successful and, in any case, could have a material adverse effect on our
business and financial performance by substantially increasing our costs.
Failure to prevail in a dispute concerning our intellectual property rights
could impair our right to market our products which, in turn, could have a
material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
The continued services and leadership of senior management are critical to our
ability to maintain our growth and any loss of key personnel could adversely
affect our business.
Our future success depends to a significant degree on the skills and
efforts of our Chief Executive Officer, Jerrell M. Baird, our Chief Operating
Officer, David I. Perl, and our Chief Financial Officer, Robert Gwin, as well as
other key senior technical, sales and marketing executives. If we lose the
services of these executives or any other senior executives, and especially if
one or more of these executives joins a competitor or forms a competing company,
our business and our ability to successfully implement our business plan could
be seriously harmed.
7
We may require additional funding and our prospects of obtaining future funding
are uncertain.
We currently anticipate that our available cash resources will be
sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure
requirements for at least the next 12 months. We may need to raise additional
funds, however, to fund more rapid expansion, to develop new courseware or
update existing courseware, to enhance existing services, to respond to
competitive pressures or to acquire complementary products, businesses or
technologies. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity or
convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will
be reduced and the newly issued securities may have rights, preferences or
privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock. Additional financing
may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are
not available, or are not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our
expansion, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance our
services or otherwise respond to competitive pressures could be significantly
limited.
Risks Related to Our Industry
Our industry is intensely competitive and we may lose market share to companies
developing similar services and products and to larger competitors with greater
resources.
Few economic barriers exist to prevent entry into our markets by new
competitors. A number of other companies offer products and services similar to
ours, and additional competitors may emerge in the near future. Our primary
competitors include:
. iGeneration, which offers certification and courseware;
. the trade association CompTIA, which has introduced an Internet skills
certification, called i-Net+, that competes with our CIW Foundations
certification; and
. other trade associations, including the Association of Web
Professionals, the World Organization of Webmasters and the Internet
Webmasters Association, each of which has either released or announced
plans to offer Internet skills certifications.
We not only face competition from companies offering similar services and
products, but from internal training units of large corporations as well. Many
of our existing competitors have substantially greater capital resources,
technical expertise, marketing experience, research and development status,
established customers and facilities than we do. These companies represent a
significant competitive challenge to our education and certification programs
and require us to spend more money on sales, marketing and courseware
development to successfully compete.
In addition, as competition continues to intensify, we expect the Internet
education and certification market to undergo significant price competition and
we expect to face increasing price pressures from customers. As a result, if we
are not able to successfully compete with existing and future competitors, our
financial performance would be materially adversely affected.
Because Internet skills training products and services may not be viewed by
companies as essential to their business, demand for our products may be
especially susceptible to adverse economic conditions.
Our business and financial performance may be damaged by adverse financial
conditions affecting our target customers or by a general weakening of the
economy. Some companies may not view Internet training or certification as
critical to the success of their business. If these companies experience
8
disappointing operating results, whether as a result of adverse economic
conditions, competitive issues or other factors, they may decrease or forego
education and certification expenditures before limiting their other
expenditures.
If Internet usage fails to grow or declines, or if commerce conducted over the
Internet is not accepted by consumers and businesses, our future sales and
profits will decline.
Our business depends on the continued growth and acceptance of the Internet
by our customers, students and students' employers. A number of factors may
inhibit Internet usage, including inadequate network infrastructure, security
concerns, inconsistent quality of service and lack of availability of cost-
effective, high-speed service. As Internet usage grows, the communications
infrastructure may not be able to support the demands placed on it by this
growth and its performance and reliability may decline. In addition, Internet
sites have experienced interruptions in their service as a result of outages and
other delays occurring throughout the Internet network infrastructure. If these
outages or delays frequently occur in the future, Internet usage could grow more
slowly or decline. In this event, our Internet education and certification
programs would be less attractive and our business and future growth prospects
would be impaired.
Future regulation of the Internet could reduce the value of our Internet
education and certification programs.
Future regulation of the Internet could reduce the value of Internet
education and certification programs. Federal and state laws governing the
Internet remain largely unsettled and regulations that apply to the Internet may
become more prevalent in the future. New laws could dampen the growth in use of
the Internet generally and decrease the acceptance of the Internet as a
commercial medium. In addition, existing laws such as those governing
intellectual property and privacy may be interpreted to apply to the Internet.
In 1998, the federal government enacted a three-year moratorium prohibiting
states and local governments from imposing new taxes on electronic commerce
transactions. Upon expiration of this moratorium, if it is not extended, states
or other governments might levy sales or use taxes on electronic commerce
transactions. An increase in the taxation of electronic commerce transactions
might make the Internet a less attractive medium for commercial transactions.
The governments of foreign countries may also attempt to regulate the Internet
and electronic commerce.
Risks that Relate to Our Stock and this Offering
Our quarterly operating results will vary, which may affect the market price of
our common stock in a manner unrelated to our long-term performance.
Our operating results have varied from quarter to quarter in the past and
are likely to vary significantly in the future. As a result, our operating
results may be below the expectations of public market analysts or investors,
causing the market price of our common stock to decline significantly. In
addition to the factors identified above, some of the factors that may influence
the volatility of our operating results include:
. seasonal fluctuations in revenue; and
. unexpected costs and delays relating to the expansion of operations,
including acquisitions of new courseware content in response to changing
technology and evolving standards.
9
Due to these factors, revenue and operating results for the foreseeable
future are difficult to forecast and you should not rely on period-to-period
comparisons of results of operations as an indication of our future performance.
Our current and future expense estimates are largely fixed and based, to a
significant degree, on our estimates of future revenue. We will likely be
unable to, or may elect not to, reduce spending quickly enough to offset any
unexpected revenue shortfall.
Any quarterly shortfall in revenue or earnings from expected levels, or
other short-term failures to meet the expectations of securities analysts or the
market in general, can have an immediate and damaging effect on the market price
of our common stock.
Our common stock may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations.
The stock market, from time to time, has experienced extreme price and
volume fluctuations. The market prices of the securities of Internet and
technology companies have been especially volatile, including fluctuations that
often are unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies.
Broad market fluctuations of this type may adversely affect the market price of
our common stock.
The market price of our common stock has fluctuated since we became a
public company. Our stock price could continue to fluctuate significantly due
to a variety of factors, including:
. public announcements concerning us, our competitors or our
industry;
. fluctuations in our operating results;
. introductions of new education or certification programs by us or our
competitors;
. identification of formal certification standards and changes thereto;
. changes in equity research analysts' revenue or earnings estimates; and
. announcements of technological innovations.
In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price
of their stock have been the target of securities class action litigation. If
we were sued in a securities class action, our management's attention and
resources would be diverted and we would incur substantial costs.
We are subject to provisions of Nevada law that could delay or deter tender
offers or takeover attempts, which could adversely affect the market price of
our common stock.
Our Bylaws contain certain provisions that may discourage other persons
from attempting to acquire control of us. These provisions include, but are not
limited to:
. A staggered Board of Directors.
. The elimination of the right of stockholders to act by written consent
without a meeting, except unanimously.
. The establishment of advance notice requirements for director
nominations and actions to be taken at annual meetings.
10
Such provisions, as well as the anti-takeover provisions of Sections 78.411
through 78.444 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, could impede a merger,
consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving us or discourage
a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to take
control of us. In certain circumstances, the fact that corporate devices are in
place that will inhibit or discourage takeover attempts could reduce the market
value of our Common Stock.

vendor-neutral, encompass a wide range of Internet topics, including
internetworking, web site design, e-commerce security and Java. We believe
vendor-neutrality is important, as the Internet is comprised of multiple
hardware and software providers with which Internet professionals must be
familiar. As core Internet technologies continue to evolve, we intend to
leverage our content development capability to ensure that we meet the needs of
our customers. Our content is available in multiple delivery formats, including
traditional classroom settings offered by our CIW Authorized Training Providers,
or CIW ATPs, as well as customized courseware, CD-ROM, Web-based training and
distance learning through our ProFlex program.
Our principal executive offices are located at 3001 Bee Caves Road, Suite

Our predecessor entity, Professional Development Institute was formed as a
sole proprietorship on February 1, 1995. On December 8, 1995, Pro-Soft
Development Corp. was incorporated in California, and effective January 1, 1996,
Professional Development Institute contributed its assets and liabilities to
12
Pro-Soft Development Corp. in exchange for shares of Pro-Soft Development Corp.
common stock. In March 1996, Pro-Soft Development Corp. became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Tel-Fed, Inc., a Nevada corporation, through a reverse merger. In
October 1996, Tel-Fed, Inc. changed its name to Prosoft I-Net Solutions, Inc.
In January 1999, Prosoft I-Net Solutions changed its name to

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the Shares on behalf of the Selling Stockholders. As
used in this Prospectus, the term "Selling Stockholder" includes donees,
pledges, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling Shares received as
a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer
after the date of this Prospectus from a named Selling Stockholder. All costs,
expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the Shares offered
hereby will be borne by us. The Selling Stockholders will pay any brokerage
commissions or similar selling expenses attributable to the sale of the Shares.
The Selling Stockholders may effect sales of Shares from time to time in one or
more types of transactions (which may include block transactions) on the Nasdaq
National Market System, in negotiated transactions, through put or call options
transactions relating to the Shares, through short sales of Shares, or a
combination of such methods of sale, at market prices prevailing at the time of
sale, or at negotiated prices. These transactions may involve brokers or
dealers.
The Selling Stockholders may effect such transactions by selling Shares
directly to purchasers or to or through broker-dealers, which may act as agents
or principals. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of
discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholders or the
purchasers of the Shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to
whom they sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular
broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions).
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers that act in connection with
the sale of Shares might be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of
Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), and any
commissions received by such broker-dealers and any profit on the resale of the
Shares sold by them while acting as principals might be deemed to be
underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. We have agreed
to indemnify each Selling Stockholder against certain liabilities, including
liabilities arising under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders may
agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in
transactions involving sales of the Shares against certain liabilities,
including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
The Selling Stockholders will be subject to the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act because they may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. We
have informed the Selling Stockholders that the anti-manipulative provisions of
Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to
their sales in the market.
Selling Stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the Shares in open
market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided
they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of Rule 144.
Upon notification to us by a Selling Stockholder that any material
arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of Shares
through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary
distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this
Prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the
Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such Selling Stockholder and of
the participating broker-dealers, (ii) the number of Shares involved, (iii) the
price at which such Shares were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or
concessions allowed to such broker-dealers, where applicable, (v) that such
broker-dealers did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set
out or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and (vi) other facts
material to the transaction. In addition, upon notification to us by a Selling
Stockholder that a donee, pledgee, transferee or other successor-in-interest
intends to sell more than 500 Shares, a supplement to this Prospectus will be
filed.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Nevada law provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or
is a party or is threatened to be made a party, by reason of the fact that he or
she was an officer or director of such corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, to (x) any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and
attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her, in connection
with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he or she 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 corporation, except that indemnification
may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which he or she has been
adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals
therefrom, 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 the
action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines
upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person
is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court
deems proper, and (y) any other threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection with the action, suit or proceeding, if he or she 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 corporation and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent has been
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any such action, suit or
proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation
must indemnify him or her against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually
and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense. The
articles of incorporation, bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may
provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending any
such action must be paid as incurred and in advance of the final disposition of
such action, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or
officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the
corporation. Nevada law also permits the corporation to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of the corporation's directors and officers against any
liability arising out of their status as such, whether or not
II-1
the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability.
These provisions may be sufficiently broad to indemnify such persons for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
Our amended and restated articles of incorporation provide that we shall
indemnify any of our directors or officers in connection with certain actions,
suits or proceedings, 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 or she acted in good faith
and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our
best interests, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Our amended and restated
articles of incorporation also provide that none of our officers or directors
shall be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duties as an officer or director, provided that such
provision does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer to
the extent provided by applicable law for (a) acts or omissions that involve
intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or (b) authorizing
the payment of illegal dividends or distributions.
Our bylaws generally require us to indemnify, as well as to advance
expenses, to our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by
Nevada law upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or
officer to repay such amount if it should ultimately be determined that they are
not entitled to indemnification by us.
We maintain liability insurance for our directors and officers covering,
subject to certain exceptions, any actual or alleged negligent act, error,
omission, misstatement, misleading statement, neglect or breach of duty by such
directors or officers, individually or collectively, in the discharge of their
duties in their capacity as directors or officers of our company.

Item 17. Undertakings.
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 of 1933;
(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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (230.424(b) of this
Chapter) 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; 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 of 1933, 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.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising from the Securities Act
of 1933 (the "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 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 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.
