of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on each matter submitted to
vote at any meeting of shareholders. Shares of Common Stock do not carry
cumulative voting rights and therefore, holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock will be able to elect the entire board of directors and,
if they do so, minority shareholders would not be able to elect any members to
the board of directors. Fortis' board of directors has authority, without action
by its shareholders, to issue all or any portion of the authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock, which would reduce the percentage ownership of Fortis of
its shareholders and which may dilute the book value of the Common Stock.
Shareholders of the Company have no pre-emptive rights to acquire additional
shares of Common Stock. The Common Stock is not subject to redemption and
carries no subscription or conversion rights. In the event of liquidation of
Fortis, the shares of Common Stock are entitled to share equally in corporate
assets after satisfaction of all liabilities. Holders of Common Stock are
entitled to receive such dividends as the board of directors may from time to
time declare out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. Fortis
has not paid cash dividends on its Common Stock and does not anticipate that it
will pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.</p>

Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time by the Board of Directors as
shares of one or more classes or series. Subject to the provisions of Fortis'
Articles of Incorporation and limitations imposed by law, the Board of Directors
is expressly authorized to adopt resolutions to issue the shares, to fix the
number of shares and to change the number of shares constituting any series, and
to provide for or change the voting powers, designations, preferences and
relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications,
limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights (including
whether dividends are cumulative), dividend rates, terms of redemption
(including sinking fund provisions), redemption prices, conversion rights and
liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any class or series of the
Preferred Stock, in each case without any further action or vote by the
stockholders.</p>

<p style="word-spacing: 0; text-indent: 0; line-height: 100%; margin: 0">One of
the effects of undesignated Preferred Stock may be to enable the Board of
Directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control
of Fortis by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise, and
thereby to protect the continuity of Fortis' management. The issuance of shares
of Preferred Stock pursuant to the Board of Director's authority described above
may adversely affect the rights of holders of Common Stock. For example,
Preferred stock issued by Fortis may rank prior to the Common Stock as to
dividend rights, liquidation preference or both, may have full or limited voting
rights and may be convertible into shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, the
issuance of shares of Preferred Stock may discourage bids for the Common Stock
at a premium or may otherwise adversely affect the market price of the Common
Stock.</p>

4. Description of Securities.
General
Fortis
is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per
share. As of March 22, 2004 there were 66,731,793 shares issued and outstanding.
Fortis
is authorized 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share. As
of the date of this filing there were no shares issued and outstanding.
Common
Stock
Holders
of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on each matter submitted to
vote at any meeting of shareholders. Shares of Common Stock do not carry
cumulative voting rights and therefore, holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock will be able to elect the entire board of directors and,
if they do so, minority shareholders would not be able to elect any members to
the board of directors. Fortis' board of directors has authority, without action
by its shareholders, to issue all or any portion of the authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock, which would reduce the percentage ownership of Fortis of
its shareholders and which may dilute the book value of the Common Stock.
Shareholders of the Company have no pre-emptive rights to acquire additional
shares of Common Stock. The Common Stock is not subject to redemption and
carries no subscription or conversion rights. In the event of liquidation of
Fortis, the shares of Common Stock are entitled to share equally in corporate
assets after satisfaction of all liabilities. Holders of Common Stock are
entitled to receive such dividends as the board of directors may from time to
time declare out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. Fortis
has not paid cash dividends on its Common Stock and does not anticipate that it
will pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Preferred
Stock
The
Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time by the Board of Directors as
shares of one or more classes or series. Subject to the provisions of Fortis'
Articles of Incorporation and limitations imposed by law, the Board of Directors
is expressly authorized to adopt resolutions to issue the shares, to fix the
number of shares and to change the number of shares constituting any series, and
to provide for or change the voting powers, designations, preferences and
relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications,
limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights (including
whether dividends are cumulative), dividend rates, terms of redemption
(including sinking fund provisions), redemption prices, conversion rights and
liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any class or series of the
Preferred Stock, in each case without any further action or vote by the
stockholders.
One of
the effects of undesignated Preferred Stock may be to enable the Board of
Directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control
of Fortis by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise, and
thereby to protect the continuity of Fortis' management. The issuance of shares
of Preferred Stock pursuant to the Board of Director's authority described above
may adversely affect the rights of holders of Common Stock. For example,
Preferred stock issued by Fortis may rank prior to the Common Stock as to
dividend rights, liquidation preference or both, may have full or limited voting
rights and may be convertible into shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, the
issuance of shares of Preferred Stock may discourage bids for the Common Stock
at a premium or may otherwise adversely affect the market price of the Common
Stock.

applicable.
Item
6. Indemnification.
Fortis'
Articles of Incorporation contains provisions for indemnification of its
officers and directors; in addition, Sections 78.7502 and 78.751 of the Nevada
General Corporation Laws provides as follows:
NRS
78.7502 Discretionary and mandatory indemnification of officers, directors,
employees and agents: General provisions.
1.
A corporation may 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, except 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 attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with the action, suit or proceeding if he:
Is
    not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or
Acted
    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 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 its equivalent, does not, of
itself, create a presumption that the person is liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or
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, or that, with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that
his conduct was unlawful.
2.
A corporation may 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 amounts paid in
settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he:
Is
    not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or
Acted
    in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not
    opposed to the best interests of the corporation.
Indemnification
may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has
been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all
appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in
settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in
which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction
determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case,
the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as
the court deems proper.
3.
To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has
been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue
or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses,
including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with the defense.
NRS
78.751 Authorization required for discretionary indemnification; advancement of
expenses; limitation on indemnification and advancement of expenses.
1.
Any discretionary indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502, unless ordered by a
court or advanced pursuant to subsection 2, may 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. The
determination must be made:
By
    the stockholders;
By
    the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors
    who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding;
If
    a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to
    the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a
    written opinion; or
If
    a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or
    proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written
    opinion.
2.
The articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the
corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in
defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the
corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the
action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the
corporation. The provisions of this subsection do not affect any rights to
advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than directors or
officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.
3.
The indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502 and advancement of expenses
authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to this section:
Does
    not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or
    advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation
    or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
    otherwise, for either an action in his official capacity or an action in
    another capacity while holding his office, except that indemnification,
    unless ordered by a court pursuant to NRS 78.7502 or for the advancement of
    expenses made pursuant to subsection 2, may not be made to or on behalf of
    any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his acts or
    omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of
    the law and was material to the cause of action.
Continues
    for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and
    inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a
    person.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Petrol pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, Petrol has been informed that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

9. Undertakings.
Fortis,
the 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:
To
    include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
    1933;
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;
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, including (but not
    limited to) any addition or election of a managing underwriter.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, 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 offered 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 of 1933, each filing of the Company's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement referring 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 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 Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by 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 that 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.
