ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         The Nevada General Corporation Law allows the Company to indemnify its
officers and directors from liability incurred by reason of the fact that he or
she is or was an officer or director of the corporation. The Company may
authorize such indemnification if the Company determines that it is proper under
the circumstances. This determination can be authorized based on a vote of the
Company's stockholders, by a majority vote of a quorum of directors who were not
parties to the relevant legal action, or under certain circumstances, by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion. The indemnification can include,
but is not limited to, reimbursement of all fees, including amounts paid in
settlement and attorney's fees actually and reasonably incurred, in connection
with the defense or settlement of any action or suit by the officer or director.
The Company has purchased and maintained insurance covering the Company's
officers and directors for the purpose of covering indemnification expenses. At
present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company as to which indemnification is being
sought.

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;

         (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 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.

        (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.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities 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 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 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         The Nevada General Corporation Law allows the Company to indemnify its
officers and directors from liability incurred by reason of the fact that he or
she is or was an officer or director of the corporation. The Company may
authorize such indemnification if the Company determines that it is proper under
the circumstances. This determination can be authorized based on a vote of the
Company's stockholders, by a majority vote of a quorum of directors who were not
parties to the relevant legal action, or under certain circumstances, by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion. The indemnification can include,
but is not limited to, reimbursement of all fees, including amounts paid in
settlement and attorney's fees actually and reasonably incurred, in connection
with the defense or settlement of any action or suit by the officer or director.
The Company has purchased and maintained insurance covering the Company's
officers and directors for the purpose of covering indemnification expenses. At
present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company as to which indemnification is being
sought.

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;

         (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 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.

        (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.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities 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 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 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                      II-3
