ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF THE COMPANY PROVIDE FOR INDEMNIFICATION OF
EMPLOYEES AND OFFICERS IN CERTAIN CASES. INSOFAR AS INDEMNIFICATION FOR
LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 MAY BE PERMITTED TO
DIRECTORS, OFFICERS OR PERSONS CONTROLLING THE COMPANY PURSUANT TO THE
FOREGOING PROVISIONS, THE COMPANY HAS BEEN INFORMED THAT IN THE OPINION OF
THE SECURTIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION SUCH INDEMNIFICATION IS AGAINST PUBLIC
POLICY AS EXPRESSED IN THE ACT AND IS THEREFORE UNENFORCEABLE.
In addition, Section 78.751 of the Nevada General Corporation Laws
provides as follows: 78.751 Indemnification of officers, directors,
employees and agents; advance of expenses.
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 attorney's fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with the action, suitor proceeding if he 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 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, and 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 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.
/3/
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, he must be indemnified by the corporation against
expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with the defense.
4. Any indemnification under subsections 1 and 2, unless ordered
by a court or advanced pursuant to subsection 5, must 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: (a) By the stockholders: (b) By the board of
directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting o directors who
were not parties to act, suit or proceeding; (c) If a majority vote
of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the
act, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in
a written opinion; or (d) If a quorum consisting of directors who
were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding cannot to obtained,
by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or
5. 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, 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 corporation. The provisions of this
subsection do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to
which corporate personnel other than the directors or officers may
be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.
6. The indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized in
or ordered by a court pursuant to this section: (a) 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 subsection 2 or for the advancement of expenses made
pursuant to subsection 5, may not be made to or on behalf of any
director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his
act or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a
knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of
action. (b) Continues for a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and endures 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 and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, 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 Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.
/4/
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.

thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under

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 payment by the
Company of expenses paid or incurred by a director, officer or
controlling person of 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
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.
