6.    Indemnification of Directors and
Officers.
Article XIII of the Company's Bylaws,
as amended, provides that the Company shall indemnify all of its directors,
officers and employees to the extent authorized and permitted by Article 109 of
the Colorado Business Corporation Act, as amended (the "CBCA").
The
provisions of Article 109 of the CBCA are as follows:
7-109-106. Determination and
authorization of indemnification of directors
.
(1) A
corporation may not indemnify a director under section 7-109-102 unless
authorized in the specific case after a determination has been made that
indemnification of the director is permissible in the circumstances because the
director has met the standard of conduct set forth in section 7-109-102. A
corporation shall not advance expenses to a director under section 7-109-104
unless authorized in the specific case after the written affirmation and
undertaking required by section 7-109-104 (1) (a) and (1) (b) are received and
the determination required by section 7-109-104 (1) (c) has been
made.
(2) The
determinations required by subsection (1) of this section shall be
made:
(a) By
the board of directors by a majority vote of those present at a meeting at which
a quorum is present, and only those directors not parties to the proceeding
shall be counted in satisfying the quorum; or
(b) If a
quorum cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee of the board of
directors designated by the board of directors, which committee shall consist of
two or more directors not parties to the proceeding; except that directors who
are parties to the proceeding may participate in the designation of directors
for the committee.
(3) If a
quorum cannot be obtained as contemplated in paragraph (a) of subsection (2) of
this section, and a committee cannot be established under paragraph (b) of
subsection (2) of this section, or, even if a quorum is obtained or a committee
is designated, if a majority of the directors constituting such quorum or such
committee so directs, the determination required to be made by subsection (1) of
this section shall be made:
(a) By
independent legal counsel selected by a vote of the board of directors or the
committee in the manner specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (2) of
this section or, if a quorum of the full board cannot be obtained and a
committee cannot be established, by independent legal counsel selected by a
majority vote of the full board of directors; or
(b) By
the shareholders.
(4)
Authorization of indemnification and advance of expenses shall be made in the
same manner as the determination that indemnification or advance of expenses is
permissible; except that, if the determination that indemnification or advance
of expenses is permissible is made by independent legal counsel, authorization
of indemnification and advance of expenses shall be made by the body that
selected such counsel.
7-109-109. Limitation of
indemnification of directors
.
(1) A
provision treating a corporation's indemnification of, or advance of expenses
to, directors that is contained in its articles of incorporation or bylaws, in a
resolution of its shareholders or board of directors, or in a contract, except
an insurance policy, or otherwise, is valid only to the extent the provision is
not inconsistent with sections 7-109-101 to 7-109-108. If the articles of
incorporation limit indemnification or advance of expenses, indemnification and
advance of expenses are valid only to the extent not inconsistent with the
articles of incorporation.
(2)
Sections 7-109-101 to 7-109-108 do not limit a corporation's power to pay or
reimburse expenses incurred by a director in connection with an appearance as a
witness in a proceeding at a time when the director has not been made a named
defendant or respondent in the proceeding.
7-109-110. Notice to shareholders of
indemnification of director
.
If a
corporation indemnifies or advances expenses to a director under this article in
connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, the
corporation shall give written notice of the indemnification or advance to the
shareholders with or before the notice of the next shareholders' meeting. If the
next shareholder action is taken without a meeting at the instigation of the
board of directors, such notice shall be given to the shareholders at or before
the time the first shareholder signs a writing consenting to such
action.

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 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 the
undertakings set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic 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)           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 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 this 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 provisions described under Item 6 above, 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 Company
of expenses incurred or paid by a 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.

Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds
