ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
-------------------------
Not applicable. The class of securities to be offered is registered
under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
--------------------------------------
Not Applicable
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
-----------------------------------------
Nevada law provides that a director or an officer of a corporation
will not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for any
damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his capacity as a director
or officer unless it is proven that (i) his act or failure to act constituted a
breach of his fiduciary duties as a director or officer, and (ii) his breach of
those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of
law. This limitation of liability does not apply to liabilities arising under
federal securities laws and does not affect the availability of equitable
remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.
Nevada law provides that a corporation may indemnify its directors
and officers, as well as other employees and individuals, against attorneys'
fees and other expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any
threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such
person was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such
person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the
3
corporation, provided such person 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. However, indemnification is not available to such person if (i) his
act or failure to act constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties as a director
or officer, and (ii) his breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct,
fraud or a knowing violation of law.
The Nevada General Corporation Law provides that the foregoing
provisions are not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking
indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders
or disinterested directors or otherwise.
The Company's bylaws provide that the Company is required to
indemnify each director, officer and employee against all expenses and
liabilities, including counsel fees, reasonably incurred by or imposed upon him
in connection with any proceeding to which he may be made a party, or in which
he may become involved, by reason of being or having been a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the
Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity, whether or
not he is a director, officer, employee or agent at the time such expenses are
incurred, unless he is adjudged guilty of willful misfeasance or malfeasance in
the performance of his duties. In the event of a settlement, the Company will
indemnify him only when the Board of Directors approves such settlement and
reimbursement as being for the best interests of the Company.
The Company's bylaws also permit the Company to obtain insurance on
behalf of any director or officer for any liability arising out of his or her
actions in a representative capacity.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned the Company hereby undertakes:
(a)(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 (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, individually or in the aggregate,
represents a fundamental change in the information set forth in the 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) do
not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the
Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 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 the Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company'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 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 pubic 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 Company of expenses incurred or
paid 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
