best interests of the Company, in accordance with, and to the full extent
permitted by, the Nevada General Corporation Law. In addition, the Bylaws
authorize the company to maintain insurance to cover such liabilities.

Not applicable.
ITEM 8. EXHIBITS
The following exhibits are filed with this registration statement:
Exhibit 5.0 Opinion of Jaffe, Raitt, Heuer & Weiss, P.C. with
respect to the legality of the Commmon Stock to be
registered hereunder.
Exhibit 23.1 Consent of Jaffe, Raitt, Heuer & Weiss, P.C.
(contained in Exhibit 5.0)
Exhibit 23.2 Consent of Grant Thornton, LLP
ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(i) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this 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.
(ii) 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 at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(iii) 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.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 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
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.
(c) 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 Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
