</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that no officer or
director of the Company will be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, other than (1)&nbsp;for acts or omissions that
involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violations of law or (2)&nbsp;the unlawful payment of a
distribution. In addition, the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and
Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify the Company&#146;s officers and
directors and advance related costs and expenses incurred by our officers and directors to the
fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. In addition, the Company may also enter into agreements
with any officer or director and may obtain insurance indemnifying officers and directors against
certain liabilities incurred by them.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nevada Revised Statutes (&#147;NRS&#148;) Section&nbsp;78.138 provides that a director or officer will not be
individually liable unless it is proven that (i)&nbsp;the director&#146;s or officer&#146;s acts or omissions
constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties, and (ii)&nbsp;such breach involved intentional
misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NRS Section&nbsp;78.7502 permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers against
expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding if the officer or
director (i)&nbsp;is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or (ii)&nbsp;acted in good faith and in a manner the
officer or director reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and, if a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct
of the officer or director was unlawful.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NRS Section&nbsp;78.751 permits a Nevada corporation to indemnify its officers and directors
against expenses incurred by them in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding as
they are incurred and in advance of final disposition thereof, upon receipt of an undertaking by or
on behalf of the officer or director to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction that such officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified by the
corporation. NRS 78.751 further permits the corporation to grant its directors and officers
additional rights of indemnification under its articles of incorporation or bylaws or otherwise.
NRS 78.752 provides that a Nevada corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other
financial arrangements on behalf of any person who 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,
for any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity
as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the
corporation has the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses.

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 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the effective
Registration Statement;
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 6%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%"><I>provided, however</I>, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above 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&nbsp;13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 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.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Delaware Law
The Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that no officer or
director of the Company will be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, other than (1) for acts or omissions that
involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violations of law or (2) the unlawful payment of a
distribution. In addition, the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and
Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify the Company's officers and
directors and advance related costs and expenses incurred by our officers and directors to the
fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. In addition, the Company may also enter into agreements
with any officer or director and may obtain insurance indemnifying officers and directors against
certain liabilities incurred by them.
Nevada Revised Statutes ("NRS") Section 78.138 provides that a director or officer will not be
individually liable unless it is proven that (i) the director's or officer's acts or omissions
constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties, and (ii) such breach involved intentional
misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law.
NRS Section 78.7502 permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers against
expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding if the officer or
director (i) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner the
officer or director reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and, if a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct
of the officer or director was unlawful.
NRS Section 78.751 permits a Nevada corporation to indemnify its officers and directors
against expenses incurred by them in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding as
they are incurred and in advance of final disposition thereof, upon receipt of an undertaking by or
on behalf of the officer or director to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction that such officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified by the
corporation. NRS 78.751 further permits the corporation to grant its directors and officers
additional rights of indemnification under its articles of incorporation or bylaws or otherwise.
NRS 78.752 provides that a Nevada corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other
financial arrangements on behalf of any person who 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,
for any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity
as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the
corporation has the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses.

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:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of 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, 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 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 (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above 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 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
Table of Contents
(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.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities 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.
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 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.
