Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.
None
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws contain provisions permitted by
the California Corporations Code that limit the liability of directors and
executive officers in certain instances, and permit the company to indemnify
such directors and officers against liabilities arising out of their service in
such capacities. Such limitation does not affect liability for any breach of a
director's duty to us or to our stockholders that involves intentional
misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. We are permitted to enter into
a formal indemnification agreement with each director and executive officer, but
to date have not done so.
-1-
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") may be permitted to our directors, officers
and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we
have 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 us of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of us 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, we
will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question of whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.

Item 9. 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:
(a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933.
(b) 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; and
-2-
(c) 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 (1)(a) and (1)(b) do not apply if
the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
this paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by us pursuant
to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are incorporated
by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 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.
(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each
filing of our annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
1934 Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the 1934 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.
(5) To deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to
whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security
holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished
pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the
1934 Act; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by
Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B is not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or
cause to be delivered, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given,
the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in
the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.
(6) To deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus to each employee to
whom the prospectus is sent or given, a copy of our annual report to
stockholders for its last fiscal year, unless such employee otherwise has
received a copy of such report, in which case the registration shall state in
the prospectus that it will promptly furnish, without charge, a copy of such
-3-
report on written request of the employee. If our last fiscal year has ended
within 120 days prior to the use of the prospectus, our annual report for the
preceding fiscal year may be delivered, but within such 120-day period the
annual report for the last fiscal year will be furnished to each employee.
(7) To transmit or cause to be transmitted to all employees participating in the
plans who do not otherwise receive such material as our stockholders, at the
time and in the manner such material is sent to its stockholders, copies of all
reports, proxy statements and other communications distributed to its
stockholders generally.
