of this Registration Statement, under Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement which deregisters the securities

Item 5.    INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

           None.

Item 6.    INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

           The Company's Bylaws and the Nevada General Corporation Law provide
for indemnification of directors and officers against certain liabilities.
Officers and directors of the Company are indemnified generally against expenses
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with proceedings, whether civil
or criminal, provided that it is determined that they acted in good faith, were
not found guilty, and, in any criminal matter, had reasonable cause to believe
that their conduct was not unlawful.

           The Company's Certificate of Incorporation further provides that a
director of the Company shall not be personally liable for monetary damages to
the Company or its shareholders for breach of any fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
Company or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) for
the unlawful payments of dividends or stock redemption by the Company or (iv)
for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal
benefit.

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;

                                 (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;

                                 (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, including (but not limited to) any addition or election of a managing
underwriter.

                      (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 offered 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 of 1933, each filing of
the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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.

           (c) 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 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 that 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.

Item 6.    INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

           The Company's Bylaws and the Nevada General Corporation Law provide
for indemnification of directors and officers against certain liabilities.
Officers and directors of the Company are indemnified generally against expenses
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with proceedings, whether civil
or criminal, provided that it is determined that they acted in good faith, were
not found guilty, and, in any criminal matter, had reasonable cause to believe
that their conduct was not unlawful.

           The Company's Certificate of Incorporation further provides that a
director of the Company shall not be personally liable for monetary damages to
the Company or its shareholders for breach of any fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
Company or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) for
the unlawful payments of dividends or stock redemption by the Company or (iv)
for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal
benefit.

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;

                                 (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;

                                 (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, including (but not limited to) any addition or election of a managing
underwriter.

                      (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 offered 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 of 1933, each filing of
the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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.

           (c) 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 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 that 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.

                                      II-2
