ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF THE COMPANY PROVIDE FOR INDEMNIFICATION OF
EMPLOYEES AND OFFICERS IN CERTAIN CASES. INSOFAR AS INDEMNIFICATION FOR
LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 MAY BE PERMITTED TO
DIRECTORS, OFFICERS OR PERSONS CONTROLLING THE COMPANY PURSUANT TO THE FOREGOING
PROVISIONS, THE COMPANY HAS BEEN INFORMED 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 addition, Section 78.751 of the Nevada General Corporation Laws provides
as follows:
78.751 Indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents; advance of
expenses.
1. A corporation may 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, except 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, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the action, suitor proceeding if he acted in good
faith and in a manner which he 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 conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or
proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea
of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner
which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful.
2. A corporation may 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 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, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys'
fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the
defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith
and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be
made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person 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.
3. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a
corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense
of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2,
or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he must be
indemnified by the corporation against expenses, including attorneys'
fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the
defense.
4. Any indemnification under subsections 1 and 2, unless ordered by a
court or advanced pursuant to subsection 5, must be made by the
corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a
determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee
or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be
made: (a) By the stockholders: (b) By the board of directors by
majority vote of a quorum consisting o directors who were not parties
to act, suit or proceeding; (c) If a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or
proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion; or (d) If a quorum consisting of directors who were not
parties to the act, suit or proceeding cannot to obtained, by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or
5. The Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws or an agreement made by the
corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors
incurred in defending a civil or criminal, suit or proceeding must be
paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the
final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, 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 is not entitled to be indemnified by corporation.
The provisions of this subsection do not affect any rights to
advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than the
directors or officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise
by law.
6. The indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized in or
ordered by a court pursuant to this section: (a) Does not exclude any
other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement
of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any
bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise, for either an action in his official capacity or an action
in another capacity while holding his office, except that
indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to
subsection 2 or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to
subsection 5, may not be made to or on behalf of any director or
officer if a final adjudication establishes that his act or omissions
involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the
law and was material to the cause of action. (b) Continues for a
person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and
endures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of
such a person. 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(a) The undersigned Company hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement
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

(b) The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 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 Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling
persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Company 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 payment by the Company of expenses paid
or incurred by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Company 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 Company 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.
