The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers
and directors containing provisions which may require the Registrant, among
other things, to indemnify the officers and directors against certain
liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or
officers (other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable
nature), and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding
against them as to which they could be indemnified.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&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 Securities and Exchange
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.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation limit, to the maximum extent
permitted by Sections 78.7502 and 78.751 of Nevada General Corporation Law, the
personal liability of directors and officers for monetary damages for breach of
their fiduciary duties as directors and officers (other than liabilities
arising from acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or
knowing violations of law or the payment of distributions in violation of
Nevada General Corporation Law). The Articles of Incorporation provide further
that the Registrant shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada
General Corporation Law any person made a party to an action or proceeding by
reason of the fact such person was a

director, officer, employee or agent or the Registrant. Subject to the
Registrant's Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws provide that the Registrant
shall indemnify directors and officers for all costs reasonably incurred in
connection with any action, suit or proceeding in which such director or
officer is made a party by virtue of his being an officer or director of the
Registrant except where such director or officer is finally adjudged to have
been derelict in the performance of his duties as such director or officer.
The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers
and directors containing provisions which may require the Registrant, among
other things, to indemnify the officers and directors against certain
liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or
officers (other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable
nature), and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding
against them as to which they could be indemnified.

Item 9.     Undertakings.
(a)     Rule 415 offering: 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 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;
(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 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

(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 Securities and Exchange
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.
