</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that we must indemnify, to the fullest extent
permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada, any of our directors, officers, employees or agents
made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding, by reason of the person serving or having
served in a capacity as such, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable
expenses incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding if certain standards are met.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Nevada Revised Statutes allows indemnification of directors, officers, employees and
agents of a company against liabilities incurred in any proceeding in which an individual is made a
party because he or she was a director, officer, employee or agent of the company if such person
conducted himself in good faith and reasonably believed his actions were in, or not opposed to, the
best interests of the company, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. A person must be found to be entitled to
indemnification under this statutory standard by procedures designed to assure that disinterested
members of the board of directors have approved indemnification or that, absent the ability to
obtain sufficient numbers of disinterested directors, independent counsel or shareholders have
approved the indemnification based on a finding that the person has met the standard.
Indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Articles of Incorporation limit the liability of our directors to the fullest extent
permitted by law. Specifically, our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as directors, except for:

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that we must indemnify, to the fullest extent
permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada, any of our directors, officers, employees or agents
made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding, by reason of the person serving or having
served in a capacity as such, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable
expenses incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding if certain standards are met.
The Nevada Revised Statutes allows indemnification of directors, officers, employees and
agents of a company against liabilities incurred in any proceeding in which an individual is made a
party because he or she was a director, officer, employee or agent of the company if such person
conducted himself in good faith and reasonably believed his actions were in, or not opposed to, the
best interests of the company, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. A person must be found to be entitled to
indemnification under this statutory standard by procedures designed to assure that disinterested
members of the board of directors have approved indemnification or that, absent the ability to
obtain sufficient numbers of disinterested directors, independent counsel or shareholders have
approved the indemnification based on a finding that the person has met the standard.
Indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses.
Our Articles of Incorporation limit the liability of our directors to the fullest extent
permitted by law. Specifically, our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as directors, except for:
•
any breach of the duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
•
acts or omissions not in good faith or that involved intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law;
•
dividends or other distributions of corporate assets that are in contravention of
certain statutory or contractual restrictions;
•
violations of certain laws; or
•
any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.
Liability under federal securities law is not limited by our Articles of Incorporation.
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors,
officers, employees or agents where indemnification will be required or permitted. Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under 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 SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

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:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (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 SEC 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; and
(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) above do not apply if the information

Table of Contents
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports
filed with or furnished to the SEC 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) 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 registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrants annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
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 registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC 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.
