Item 6.     Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that officers and directors who are made a party to or are threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was officer or director or is or was serving at our request our director or an officer of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “indemnitee”),


whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer, shall be indemnified and held harmless by us to the fullest extent authorized by the Nevada General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits us to provide broader indemnification rights than permitted prior thereto), against all expense, liabilities, charges and losses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue with respect to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that the Registrant shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors. The right to indemnification includes the right to be paid by us for expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition. Officers and directors are not entitled to indemnification if such persons did not meet the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Nevada General Corporation Law for officers and directors.

The Nevada General Corporation Law provides, among other things, that we 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 (other than an action by or in the right of us) by reason of the fact that the person is or was our director, officer, agent or employee or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, agent, or employee 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 the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. The power to indemnify applies if such person is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interest, or not opposed to the best interest, of us, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The power to indemnify applies to actions brought by or in the right of us as well, but only to the extent of defense expenses (including attorneys’ fees but excluding amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred and not to any satisfaction of a judgment or settlement of the claim itself, and with the further limitation that in such actions no indemnification shall be made in the event of any adjudication of negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duties to us, unless the court believes that in light of all the circumstances indemnification should apply.

The indemnification provisions contained in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws are not exclusive of any other rights to which a person may be entitled by law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Item 9. Undertakings.

The undersigned hereby undertakes:

(1)     To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(a)     To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933.

(b)     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; and

(c)     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)(a) and (1)(b) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by this paragraph is contained in periodic reports filed by us pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

(2)     That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 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.

(4)     That, for purposes of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of our annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the 1934 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.

(5)     To deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the 1934 Act; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B is not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.

(6)     To deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus to each employee to whom the prospectus is sent or given, a copy of our annual report to stockholders for our last fiscal year, unless such employee otherwise has received a copy of such report, in which case the registration shall state in the prospectus that it will promptly furnish, without charge, a copy of such report on written request of the employee. If our last fiscal year has ended within 120 days prior to the use of the prospectus, our annual report for the preceding fiscal year may be so delivered, but within such 120-day period the annual report for the last fiscal year will be furnished to each such employee.

(7)     To transmit or cause to be transmitted to all employees participating in the Plans who do not otherwise receive such material as our stockholders at the time and in the manner such material is sent to our stockholders, copies of all reports, proxy statements and other communications distributed to our stockholders generally.
