<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant is incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada. Nevada law provides
that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals
against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in
connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any such person is made a party by reason of
the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee of or agent to the corporation, or
is or was serving at the request of the corporation in such capacity of another entity (other than
an action by or in the right of the corporation&nbsp;- a &#147;derivative action&#148;), if he or she is not
liable under Section&nbsp;78.138 of the Nevada Revised Statutes or if he or she acted in good faith and
in a manner they 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 or her conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative
actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including amounts paid in settlement
and attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, and the
statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking
indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not
exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation&#146;s articles of
incorporation, bylaws, disinterested director vote, shareholder vote, agreement, or otherwise.
</DIV>





<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s amended and restated articles of incorporation provides that the personal
liability of its directors, officers, employees and agents is eliminated to the fullest extent
permitted by Nevada law.
</DIV>





<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;78.138(7) of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides that, with certain exceptions, a
director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors
for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or
officer unless it is proven that:
</DIV>





<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;his or her act or failure to act constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties as a
director or officer;&nbsp;and
</DIV>





<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;his or her breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing
violation of law.
</DIV>





<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s amended and restated bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by
Nevada law, as now in effect or as amended, it will indemnify and hold harmless any person made or
threatened to be made a party to any action by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of
whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was director, officer, employee or agent of the
Registrant or was serving, at the Registrant&#146;s request, as a director, officer, employee or agent
of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including
service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by the Registrant, whether
the basis of such proceeding is an alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer,
employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer, employee or
agent. Any amendment of this provision will not reduce the Registrant&#146;s indemnification obligations
relating to actions taken before an amendment. The Registrant&#146;s amended and restated articles of
incorporation contain similar provisions.
</DIV>





<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Directors and officers of the Registrant and its subsidiaries are also covered by directors&#146;
and officers&#146; liability insurance under which they are insured (subject to certain exceptions and
limitations specified in the policy) against expenses and liabilities arising out of proceedings to
which they are parties by reason of being or having been directors or officers. Under these
policies, the insurer, on the Registrant&#146;s behalf, may also pay amounts for which the Registrant
has granted indemnification to the directors or officers.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant is incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada. Nevada law provides
that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in
connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any such person is made a party by reason of
the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee of or agent to the corporation, or
is or was serving at the request of the corporation in such capacity of another entity (other than
an action by or in the right of the corporation - a "derivative action"), if he or she is not
liable under Section 78.138 of the Nevada Revised Statutes or if he or she acted in good faith and
in a manner they 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 or her conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative
actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including amounts paid in settlement
and attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, and the
statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking
indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not
exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's articles of
incorporation, bylaws, disinterested director vote, shareholder vote, agreement, or otherwise.
The Registrant's amended and restated articles of incorporation provides that the personal
liability of its directors, officers, employees and agents is eliminated to the fullest extent
permitted by Nevada law.
Section 78.138(7) of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides that, with certain exceptions, a
director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors
for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or
officer unless it is proven that:
(a) his or her act or failure to act constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties as a
director or officer; and
(b) his or her breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing
violation of law.
The Registrant's amended and restated bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by
Nevada law, as now in effect or as amended, it will indemnify and hold harmless any person made or
threatened to be made a party to any action by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of
whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was director, officer, employee or agent of the
Registrant or was serving, at the Registrant's request, as a director, officer, employee or agent
of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including
service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by the Registrant, whether
the basis of such proceeding is an alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer,
employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer, employee or
agent. Any amendment of this provision will not reduce the Registrant's indemnification obligations
relating to actions taken before an amendment. The Registrant's amended and restated articles of
incorporation contain similar provisions.
Directors and officers of the Registrant and its subsidiaries are also covered by directors'
and officers' liability insurance under which they are insured (subject to certain exceptions and
limitations specified in the policy) against expenses and liabilities arising out of proceedings to
which they are parties by reason of being or having been directors or officers. Under these
policies, the insurer, on the Registrant's behalf, may also pay amounts for which the Registrant
has granted indemnification to the directors or officers.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.

Item 9. Undertakings
.
In accordance with the corresponding lettered undertakings in Item 512 of Regulation S-K:
(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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
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) of this section do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained
in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 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.
* * * * *
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any
purchaser:
(i) If the Registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
(A) Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be
part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and
included in the registration statement; and
(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as
part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to
Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section
10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration
statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness
or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the
prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is
at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the
registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that
prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration
statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document
incorporated or
4
Table of Contents
deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such
effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or
prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately
prior to such effective date; or
(ii) If the Registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule
424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration
statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be
deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used
after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or
prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed
incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first
use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus
that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such
date of first use.
(6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities
Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned
Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to
sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by
means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the
purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the
offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the
undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing
material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of
the undersigned Registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned
Registrant to the purchaser.
(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 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.
* * * * *
(h) Reference is made to the indemnification provisions described in Item 6 of this
Registration Statement.
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 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 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
5
Table of Contents
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.
