Item 4.
Description of Securities
Not applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our Articles of Incorporation provide that no officer or director of the Company will be personally
liable to the Company or its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or
officer, other than (1) for acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing
violations of law or (2) the unlawful payment of
II-1
a distribution. In addition, our articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that the Company will
indemnify its officers and directors and advance related costs and expenses incurred by our
officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. In addition, the Company may
also enter into agreements with any officer or director and may obtain insurance indemnifying
officers and directors against certain liabilities incurred by them.
NRS Section 78.138 provides that a director or officer will not be individually liable unless it is
proven that (i) the director's or officer's acts or omissions constituted a breach of his or her
fiduciary duties, and (ii) such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing
violation of the law.
NRS Section 78.7502 permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding if the officer or director (i) is not
liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner the officer or director
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, if a
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of the officer or
director was unlawful.
NRS Section 78.751 permits a Nevada corporation to indemnify its officers and directors against
expenses incurred by them in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding as they are
incurred and in advance of final disposition thereof, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
behalf of the officer or director to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction that such officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified by the
corporation. NRS 78.751 further permits the corporation to grant its directors and officers
additional rights of indemnification under its articles of incorporation or bylaws or otherwise.
NRS 78.752 provides that a Nevada corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other
financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
for any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity
as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the
corporation has the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses.

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:
(a)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(b)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of this 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 this 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 percent change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in
the effective registration statement; and
(c)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (1)(a) and (1)(b) 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 or furnished to the SEC by the registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act") that are incorporated by reference in this 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.
II-3
(4)
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 fide offering thereof.
(5)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant, 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.
II-4

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it
has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and
has duly caused this Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be signed on its behalf by the
