Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Article VI of the Bylaws of the Company provides for the indemnification by the Company of each director, officer, employee or agent of the Company and its subsidiaries in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding brought or threatened by reason of his position with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, provided that the indemnified party acted in good faith and in a manner he believed to be in the Company's best interest. In addition, Article XI of the Company's Articles of Incorporation provides that to the fullest extent permitted by the Colorado Corporation Code, as the same exists or hereafter shall be amended, a director of the Company shall not be liable to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.

Section 7-109-102 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act permits indemnification of a director of a Colorado corporation, in the case of a third party action, if the director (a) conducted himself in good faith, (b) reasonably believed that (i) in the case of conduct in his official capacity, his conduct was in the corporation's best interest, or (ii) in all other cases, his conduct was not opposed to the corporation's best interest, and (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. The section further provides for mandatory indemnification of directors and officers who are successful on the merits or otherwise in litigation.

The statute limits the indemnification that a corporation may provide to its directors in two key respects. A corporation may not indemnify a director in a derivative action in which the director is held liable to the corporation, or in any proceeding in which the director is held liable on the basis of his improper receipt of a personal benefit. The statute permits a corporation to indemnify and advance litigation expenses to officers, employees and agents who are not directors to a greater extent than directors if consistent with law and provided for by the articles of incorporation, the bylaws, a resolution of directors or shareholders, or a contract between the corporation and the officer, employee or agent.

Item 17. Undertakings

(a) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions set forth in Item 15, or otherwise, the registrant 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. (b) The registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1) For the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as a part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be a part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2) For the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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.
