ITEM 6.     INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Subsection 1 of Section 78.7502 of the Nevada General Corporation Law (the
"Nevada Law") empowers a corporation 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 or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if he is not liable pursuant to Section 78.138 of the
Nevada Law or 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. Section 78.128 of the Nevada Law provides that, with
certain exceptions, a director or officer is not individually liable to the
corporation or its stockholders for any damages as a result of any act or
failure to act in his capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that
(i) his act or failure to act constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties as a
director or officer, and (ii) his breach of those duties involved intentional
misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law.

     Subsection 2 of Section 78.7502 empowers a corporation 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 such
person acted in any of the capacities set forth above against expenses,
including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or
suit if he acted under similar standards, except that no indemnification may be
made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have
been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction 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 such action or suit was brought
determines that, despite the adjudication of liability, such person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems
proper.

     Section 78.7502 further provides that to the extent a director or officer
of a corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in subsections (1) and (2), or in the defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection therewith. Section 78.751 of the Nevada Law provides that the
indemnification provided for by Section 78.7502 shall not be deemed exclusive or
exclude any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled and that
the scope of indemnification shall continue as to directors, officers, employees
or agents who have ceased to hold such positions, and to their heirs, executors
and administrators. Section 78.752 of the Nevada Law empowers the corporation to
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation against any liability asserted against him or 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 liabilities
under Section 78.7502.

     Section 4.10 of the Bylaws of the Company provides for indemnification of
its officers and directors, substantially identical in scope to that permitted
under the above Sections of the Nevada Law. The Bylaws provide, pursuant to
Subsection 2 of Section 78.751, that the expenses of officers and directors
incurred in defending any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil or criminal,
must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final
disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon delivery, if required by
Nevada law, of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to
repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction that the officer or director is not entitled to be
indemnified by the corporation. The Company also enters into indemnification
agreements consistent with Nevada law with certain of its directors and
officers.

ITEM 6.     INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Subsection 1 of Section 78.7502 of the Nevada General Corporation Law (the
"Nevada Law") empowers a corporation 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 or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if he is not liable pursuant to Section 78.138 of the
Nevada Law or 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. Section 78.128 of the Nevada Law provides that, with
certain exceptions, a director or officer is not individually liable to the
corporation or its stockholders for any damages as a result of any act or
failure to act in his capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that
(i) his act or failure to act constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties as a
director or officer, and (ii) his breach of those duties involved intentional
misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law.

     Subsection 2 of Section 78.7502 empowers a corporation 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 such
person acted in any of the capacities set forth above against expenses,
including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or
suit if he acted under similar standards, except that no indemnification may be
made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have
been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction 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 such action or suit was brought
determines that, despite the adjudication of liability, such person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems
proper.

     Section 78.7502 further provides that to the extent a director or officer
of a corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in subsections (1) and (2), or in the defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection therewith. Section 78.751 of the Nevada Law provides that the
indemnification provided for by Section 78.7502 shall not be deemed exclusive or
exclude any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled and that
the scope of indemnification shall continue as to directors, officers, employees
or agents who have ceased to hold such positions, and to their heirs, executors
and administrators. Section 78.752 of the Nevada Law empowers the corporation to
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation against any liability asserted against him or 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 liabilities
under Section 78.7502.

     Section 4.10 of the Bylaws of the Company provides for indemnification of
its officers and directors, substantially identical in scope to that permitted
under the above Sections of the Nevada Law. The Bylaws provide, pursuant to
Subsection 2 of Section 78.751, that the expenses of officers and directors
incurred in defending any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil or criminal,
must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final
disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon delivery, if required by
Nevada law, of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to
repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction that the officer or director is not entitled to be
indemnified by the corporation. The Company also enters into indemnification
agreements consistent with Nevada law with certain of its directors and
officers.
