Company's Registration Statement on Form 10-SB filed pursuant to Section 12 of

In addition, all documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The only statute, charter provision, bylaw, contract, or other arrange-
ment under which any controlling person, Director or Officer of the Company is
insured or indemnified in any manner against any liability which he may incur
in his capacity as such, is as follows:
(a) The Company has the power under the Colorado Business Corporation
Act to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made
a party to any action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Director,
Officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Company or was serving at its
request in a similar capacity for another entity, against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith if he acted in good faith
and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the
corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In case of an action
brought by or in the right of the Company such persons are similarly entitled
to indemnification if they acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably
believed to be in the best interests of the Company but no indemnification
-2-
shall be made if such person was adjudged to be liable to the Company for
negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Company unless
and to the extent the court in which such action or suit was brought
determines upon application that despite the adjudication of liability, in
view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnification. In such event, indemnification is limited to
reasonable expenses. Such indemnification is not deemed exclusive of any
other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under the Articles of
Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested
directors, or otherwise.
(b) The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company generally
allow indemnification of Officers and Directors to the fullest extent allowed
by 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 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;
-3-
(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 subparagraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
subparagraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
are incorporated by reference 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.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of
the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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 of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to Item 6, 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.
