ITEM  6.  INDEMNIFICATION  OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Nevada  law  permits  a  company  to  indemnify its directors and officers,
except for any act of dishonesty. Stratabase has provided in its by-laws for the
indemnification  of  officers and directors to the fullest extent possible under
Nevada  law  against  expenses  (including  attorney's  fees), judgments, fines,

employees  and  agents  (other  than  directors  and  officers) against expenses
(including  attorneys'  fees),  judgments,  fines, settlements and other amounts
actually  and  reasonably  incurred in connection with any proceeding arising by
reason  of  the  fact  that  such  person  is  or  was  an  agent of Stratabase.

     The  Certificate  of  Incorporation  of Stratabase limits or eliminates the
personal  liability  of  its  officers  and directors for damages resulting from
breaches  of  their  fiduciary  duty  for  acts  or omissions except for damages
resulting  from acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud, a
knowing violation of law, or the inappropriate payment of dividends in violation

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;

     (ii) To  reflect  in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually
          or  together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the
          registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
          decease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value
          of  the 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 percent 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.

(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 at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide  offering  thereof.

(3)     To  file  a  post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of
the  securities  that  remain  unsold  at  the  end  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 any 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  anew  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 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 of the Registrant of expenses incurred
or  paid by the 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such  issue.

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;

     (ii) To  reflect  in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually
          or  together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the
          registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
          decease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value
          of  the 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 percent 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.

(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 at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide  offering  thereof.

(3)     To  file  a  post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of
the  securities  that  remain  unsold  at  the  end  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 any 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  anew  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 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 of the Registrant of expenses incurred
or  paid by the 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such  issue.
