ITEM 8. EXHIBITS

     See the Exhibit Index following the signature page in this Registration

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS

     (a)  The undersigned Company hereby undertakes:

          (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
               made, a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement
               to: (i) include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
               the Securities Act; (ii) reflect in the prospectus any facts or
               events arising after the effective date of the Registration
               Statement which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
               fundamental change in the information set forth in the
               Registration Statement; and 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 selected in the
               form of a 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" table in the effective registration statement; and
               (iii) 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 provisions (i) and
               (ii) of this undertaking are inapplicable if the information to
               be filed thereunder is contained in periodic reports filed by the
               Company pursuant to the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
               reference into 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

<PAGE>

               and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
               to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

          (1)  To remove from registration by means of post-effective amendment
               any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
               termination of the offering.

     (b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company 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 director, officer or controlling person 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 Company 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.

     (c) The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company's annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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 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.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     The Company is a Nevada corporation. Section 78.751 of the General
Corporation Law of Nevada (the "GCL") provides authority for broad
indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents of a corporation,
with certain specified exceptions.

     Article 7 of the Company's Articles of Incorporation provides that the
Company shall have the power to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and
agents to the fullest extent allowed by the GCL.

     At the present time, the Company does not have any officer-director
liability insurance although permitted by Section 78.752 of the GCL, nor does
the Company have indemnification agreements with any of its directors, officers,
employees or agents.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS

     (a)  The undersigned Company hereby undertakes:

          (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
               made, a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement
               to: (i) include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
               the Securities Act; (ii) reflect in the prospectus any facts or
               events arising after the effective date of the Registration
               Statement which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
               fundamental change in the information set forth in the
               Registration Statement; and 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 selected in the
               form of a 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" table in the effective registration statement; and
               (iii) 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 provisions (i) and
               (ii) of this undertaking are inapplicable if the information to
               be filed thereunder is contained in periodic reports filed by the
               Company pursuant to the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
               reference into 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; and

          (1)  To remove from registration by means of post-effective amendment
               any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
               termination of the offering.

     (b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company 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 director, officer or controlling person 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 Company 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.

     (c) The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company's annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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 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.
