limitations, indemnify the director or officer against certain expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines, penalties and settlement amounts
that may be incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of any claim,
criminal, civil or administrative action or proceeding to which the director or
officer becomes subject in connection with his service as a director or officer

indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of
1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.&#160;
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.</h1>

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.750 and
78.751, we must indemnify any of our directors, officers, employees or agents
who is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action or suit.
This indemnification includes expenses, including attorney's fees actually or
reasonably incurred.  Nevada law also
provides for discretionary indemnification for each person who serves as or at
our request as our officer or director. We may indemnify these individuals
against all costs, expenses, and liabilities incurred in a threatened, pending,
or completed action, suit or proceeding brought because the individual is our
director or officer. The individual must have conducted himself in good faith
and reasonably believed that his conduct was in, or not opposed to, our best
interests. In a criminal action he must not have had a reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful.
Further, Article VI of our by-laws provides the
following for the indemnification of directors, officers,
3
and others:
Section
6.1 Generally
The corporation shall
have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact
that he 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, against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and
in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or items equivalent, shall not,
of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and
in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was lawful.
The corporation shall
have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or
in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of
the fact that he 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 against expenses (including attorney's fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action
or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which
such court shall deem proper.
Section 6.2 Expenses
To the extent that a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been successful on
the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred
to in Section 6.1 of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorney's fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. Expenses
incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be
paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action,
suit or proceeding as authorized in the manner provided in Section 6.3 of this
Article upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director,
officer, employee or agent to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be
determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as
authorized in this Article.
Section
6.3 Determination by Board of Directors
Any indemnification under
Section 6.1 of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the
corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that
indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the
circumstances because he has met the applicable
4
standard of conduct set
forth in Section 6.1 of this Article. Such determination shall be made by the
Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum of the directors, or by the
shareholders.
Section 6.4 Non-exclusive Right
The indemnification
provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which those indemnified may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of
shareholders or interested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person.
Section 6.5 Insurance
The corporation shall
have power to purchase and maintain insurance 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 against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in
any such capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under
the provisions of this Article.  The corporation's
indemnity 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, shall be reduced by any amounts such person
may collect as indemnification (i) under any policy of insurance purchased and
maintained on his behalf by the corporation or (ii) from such other
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
Section 6.6 Violation of Law
Nothing contained in this
Article, or elsewhere in these By-laws, shall operate to indemnify any director
or officer if such indemnification is for any reason contrary to law, either as
a matter of public policy, or under the provisions of the Federal Securities
Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or any other applicable state
or federal law.
Section 6.7 Coverage
For the purposes of this
Article, references to "the corporation" include all constituent corporations
absorbed in a consolidation or merger as well as the resulting or surviving
corporation so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of such a constituent corporation or is or was serving at the request of
such a constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article with
respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would if he had served
the resulting or surviving corporation in the same capacity.
Further, we have outstanding indemnification
agreements with our officers and directors. 
In general, the indemnification agreements provide that the Company
will, to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law and subject to certain
limitations, indemnify the director or officer against certain expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, penalties and settlement amounts
that may be incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of any claim,
criminal, civil or administrative action or proceeding to which the director or
officer becomes subject in connection with his service as a director or officer
of the Company.  The agreements provide
for indemnification rights regarding both third-party claims and proceedings
brought by or in the right of the Company. 
In addition, each indemnification agreement
5
provides for the advancement of expenses incurred by
the indemnitee in connection with any proceeding covered by the agreement to
the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. 
The indemnification agreements supersede all prior indemnification
agreements entered into with the directors and officers. The indemnification
agreements do not exclude any other rights to indemnification or advancement of
expenses to which the indemnitees may be entitled, including any rights arising
under the Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company, or Nevada law.

To include any material

however

(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any

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

(4)
That,
for the purpose of determining liability of the Company under the Securities
Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, in
a primary offering of securities of the Company pursuant to this registration
statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to
the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means
of any of the following communications, the Company will be a seller to the

purchaser:
(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the
Company relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering

to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is

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.
7
(c)
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of
1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. 
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
