corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer of the corporation
to the same extent as an Indemnifiable Director, and (iii)&nbsp;a corporation
may also indemnify and advance expenses to an officer who is not an
Indemnifiable Director to a greater extent than the right of indemnification
granted to an Indemnifiable Director, if not inconsistent with public policy,
and if provided for by its articles of incorporation, bylaws, general or
specific action of its board of directors, or contract.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the &#147;Bylaws&#148;)
provide that, subject to the limitations described below, the Registrant shall
indemnify any individual made party to a proceeding because he or she is or was
a director or officer of the Registrant against liability incurred in the
proceeding, but only if (i)&nbsp;the Registrant has authorized the payment in
accordance with Sections 16-10a-902, 16-10a-904, 16-10a-906 and 16-10a-907 of
the Revised Act, and a determination has been made in accordance with the
procedures set forth in such provisions (i)&nbsp;that the director or officer
conducted himself or herself in good faith; (ii)&nbsp;that he or she reasonably
believed that his or her conduct, if in his or her official capacity with the
Registrant, was in the Registrant&#146;s best interests; and, (iii)&nbsp;in the case
of any criminal proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct
was unlawful.&#160;&#160; The Registrant may not,
however, voluntarily extend such indemnification to an officer or director in
connection with a proceeding by the Registrant or in its right in which such
officer or director was adjudged liable to the Registrant, or in connection
with any other proceeding charging that such person derived an improper
personal benefit, whether or not involving action in his or her official
capacity, in which proceeding he or she was adjudged liable on the basis that
he or she derived an improper personal benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify an officer or director
who was successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any
proceeding or the defense of any claim, issue or matter in the proceeding to
which the officer or director was a party because he or she is or was one of
the Registrant&#146;s directors or officers against reasonable expenses that he or
she incurred in connection with the proceeding or claim with respect to which
he or she was successful.&#160; The Registrant&#146;s
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the &#147;Amended Articles&#148;) also
authorize the Registrant to indemnify and advance expenses to its directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Bylaws </font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">also provide that the
Registrant may pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by an
officer or director who is party to a proceeding in advance of final
disposition of the proceeding if (i)&nbsp;the officer or director furnishes to
the Registrant a written affirmation of a good faith belief that he or she has
met the applicable standard of conduct under the Bylaws and applicable law
necessary for indemnification, (ii)&nbsp;the officer or director furnishes to
the Registrant a written undertaking in the form required by the Revised Act,
executed personally or on his or her behalf, to repay the advance if it is
ultimately determined that he or she did not meet the standard of conduct, and (iii)&nbsp;a
determination is made that the facts then known to those making the
determination would not preclude indemnification pursuant to the Bylaws and
applicable law.&#160; The Bylaws also provide
that any indemnification or advancement of expenses provided thereby shall not
be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification
or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any articles of incorporation,

both as to action in such person&#146;s official capacity and as to action in
another capacity while holding such office.</font></p>

of any director in accordance with Section&nbsp;16-10a-841 of the Revised Act,
which provides that the liability of a director to the corporation or its
shareholders for monetary damages for any action taken or any failure to take
any action, as a director, may be limited or eliminated by the corporation
except for liability for (i)&nbsp;the amount of financial benefit received by a
director to which he or she is not entitled; (ii)&nbsp;an intentional
infliction of harm on the corporation or its shareholders; (iii)&nbsp;a

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Bylaws provide that the Registrant may purchase

Registrant&#146;s directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents, or is or
was serving at the Registrant&#146;s request as a director, officer, employee,
fiduciary or agent of another corporation or other person, or of an employee
benefit plan, against liability incurred by him or her in such capacity or
arising out of his or her status in such capacity, whether or not the
Registrant would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability
under applicable law. The Registrant maintains insurance from commercial
carriers against certain liabilities that may be incurred by its directors and
officers.</font></p>

otherwise, the Registrant 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.&#160; 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.</font></p>

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant is a Utah corporation. Section 16-10a-902
of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (the "Revised Act") provides that
a corporation may indemnify any individual who was, is, or is threatened to be
made a named defendant or respondent (a "Party") in any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative and whether formal or informal (a "Proceeding"), because he or
she is or was a director of the corporation or, while a director of the
corporation, is or was serving at
1
its request as a director,
officer, partner, trustee, employee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation
or other person or of an employee benefit plan (an "Indemnifiable Director"),
against any obligation incurred with respect to a Proceeding, including any
judgment, settlement, penalty or fine, or reasonable expenses, incurred in the
Proceeding if his or her conduct was in good faith and he or she reasonably
believed that his or her conduct was in, or not opposed to, the best interests
of the corporation, and, in the case of any criminal Proceeding, he or she had
no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful.  However, subsection 902(4) places
certain limitations on indemnification allowed under Section 902,
including that (i) indemnification in connection with a Proceeding by or
in the right of the corporation is limited to payment of reasonable expenses
incurred in connection with the Proceeding and (ii) the corporation may
not indemnify an Indemnifiable Director in connection with a Proceeding by or
in the right of the corporation in which the Indemnifiable Director was
adjudged liable to the corporation, or in connection with any other Proceeding
charging that the Indemnifiable Director derived an improper personal benefit,
whether or not involving action in his or her official capacity, in which
Proceeding he or she was adjudged liable on the basis that he or she derived an
improper personal benefit.
Section 16-10a-903
of the Revised Act deals with mandatory indemnification of directors and
provides that a corporation shall indemnify an Indemnifiable Director who was
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any Proceeding, or in
the defense of any claim, issue or matter in the Proceeding, to which he or she
was a Party because he or she is or was an Indemnifiable Director of the
corporation, against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the
Proceeding or claim with respect to which he or she has been successful.
In addition to the indemnification provided by
Sections 902 and 903, Section 16-10a-905 of the Revised Act addresses
court-ordered indemnification and provides that an Indemnifiable Director may
apply for indemnification to the court conducting the Proceeding or to another
court of competent jurisdiction.
Section 16-10a-904 of the Revised Act deals with
the advancement of expenses and provides that a corporation may pay for or
reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnifiable Director who is
a Party to a Proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding,
upon the satisfaction of certain conditions.
Section 16-10a-907 of the Revised Act addresses
indemnification of officers and provides that (i) an officer of the
corporation is entitled to mandatory indemnification under Section 903 and
is entitled to apply for court-ordered indemnification under Section 905,
in each case to the same extent as an Indemnifiable Director, (ii) the
corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer of the corporation
to the same extent as an Indemnifiable Director, and (iii) a corporation
may also indemnify and advance expenses to an officer who is not an
Indemnifiable Director to a greater extent than the right of indemnification
granted to an Indemnifiable Director, if not inconsistent with public policy,
and if provided for by its articles of incorporation, bylaws, general or
specific action of its board of directors, or contract.
The Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws")
provide that, subject to the limitations described below, the Registrant shall
indemnify any individual made party to a proceeding because he or she is or was
a director or officer of the Registrant against liability incurred in the
proceeding, but only if (i) the Registrant has authorized the payment in
accordance with Sections 16-10a-902, 16-10a-904, 16-10a-906 and 16-10a-907 of
the Revised Act, and a determination has been made in accordance with the
procedures set forth in such provisions (i) that the director or officer
conducted himself or herself in good faith; (ii) that he or she reasonably
believed that his or her conduct, if in his or her official capacity with the
Registrant, was in the Registrant's best interests; and, (iii) in the case
of any criminal proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct
was unlawful.   The Registrant may not,
however, voluntarily extend such indemnification to an officer or director in
connection with a proceeding by the Registrant or in its right in which such
officer or director was adjudged liable to the Registrant, or in connection
with any other proceeding charging that such person derived an improper
personal benefit, whether or not involving action in his or her official
capacity, in which proceeding he or she was adjudged liable on the basis that
he or she derived an improper personal benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify an officer or director
who was successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any
proceeding or the defense of any claim, issue or matter in the proceeding to
which the officer or director was a party because he or she is or was one of
the Registrant's directors or officers against reasonable expenses that he or
she incurred in connection with the proceeding or claim with respect to which
he or she was successful.  The Registrant's
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the "Amended Articles") also
authorize the Registrant to indemnify and advance expenses to its directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Bylaws
2
also provide that the
Registrant may pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by an
officer or director who is party to a proceeding in advance of final
disposition of the proceeding if (i) the officer or director furnishes to
the Registrant a written affirmation of a good faith belief that he or she has
met the applicable standard of conduct under the Bylaws and applicable law
necessary for indemnification, (ii) the officer or director furnishes to
the Registrant a written undertaking in the form required by the Revised Act,
executed personally or on his or her behalf, to repay the advance if it is
ultimately determined that he or she did not meet the standard of conduct, and (iii) a
determination is made that the facts then known to those making the
determination would not preclude indemnification pursuant to the Bylaws and
applicable law.  The Bylaws also provide
that any indemnification or advancement of expenses provided thereby shall not
be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification
or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any articles of incorporation,
bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise,
both as to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in
another capacity while holding such office.
The Amended Articles eliminate the personal liability
of any director in accordance with Section 16-10a-841 of the Revised Act,
which provides that the liability of a director to the corporation or its
shareholders for monetary damages for any action taken or any failure to take
any action, as a director, may be limited or eliminated by the corporation
except for liability for (i) the amount of financial benefit received by a
director to which he or she is not entitled; (ii) an intentional
infliction of harm on the corporation or its shareholders; (iii) a
violation of Section 16-10a-842 of the Revised Act, which prohibits
unlawful distributions by a corporation to its shareholders; or (iv) an
intentional violation of criminal law.
The Bylaws provide that the Registrant may purchase
and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was one of the
Registrant's directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents, or is or
was serving at the Registrant's request as a director, officer, employee,
fiduciary or agent of another corporation or other person, or of an employee
benefit plan, against liability incurred by him or her in such capacity or
arising out of his or her status in such capacity, whether or not the
Registrant would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability
under applicable law. The Registrant maintains insurance from commercial
carriers against certain liabilities that may be incurred by its directors and
officers.

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.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase
or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered
4
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;
Provided, however,
that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in 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.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes 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 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
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.
