Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
In addition to any rights of indemnification that may be granted to
directors and officers under the Nevada Business Corporation Code, as amended,
Company's Bylaws (the "Bylaws") grant Company broad powers to indemnify
directors and officers against liabilities that they may incur in such
capacities.
The Bylaws require the indemnification of an officer or director made
or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding because such person is or was
an officer or director of Company against certain liabilities and expenses if:
(i) the officer or director acted in good faith; (ii) the officer or director
reasonably believed the actions were in or not opposed to Company's best
interest; and (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, the officer or
director had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. In
the case of any proceed ing by or in the right of Company, an officer or
director is entitled to indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law
if the officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner the officer or
director reasonably believed was in or not opposed to Company's best interest.
An officer or director is generally not entitled to indemnification:
(i) in connection with any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the
officer or director in which the officer or director is adjudged liable on the
basis that personal benefit was improperly received; or (ii) in connection with
any proceeding initiated by such person against Company, its directors,
officers, employees, or other agents.

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:
(a) To include any prospectus required by
section 10(a)(3) of the Act;
(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 thereto)
which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the registration
statement;
(c) To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration
state ment or any material change to such
information in the regis tration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs A(1)(a) and
A(1)(b) 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 regis trant 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 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 term ination of
the offering.
B. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Act, each
filing of the registrant'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
Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the above-referenced
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that
-4-
in the opinion of the SEC 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 proceed ing) 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.
