ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS


The Colorado Revised Statutes provide  that 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 proceeding,  whether civil, criminal,  administrative or investigative,  by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,  officer,  employee or agent of the Company or is or was serving at our request in such capacity in another corporation or business  association, 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  acted  in good  faith  and in a  manner  he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,  had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.


The Company, pursuant to its bylaws, will provide indemnification with its directors and executive officers that provide the maximum indemnity allowed to directors and executive officers by the Colorado Revised Statutes, subject to certain exceptions as well as certain additional procedural protections.  In addition,  the indemnification  provides generally that the Company will advance expenses  incurred  by  directors  and  executives  officers  in any  action  or proceeding  as to which  they may be  entitled  to  indemnification,  subject to certain exceptions.


The indemnification provisions in the bylaws may permit indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933. Insofar as indemnification for  liabilities  arising under the  Securities  Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,  officer  and  controlling  persons of the  Company  pursuant  to the foregoing provisions,  or otherwise,  the Securities and Exchange Commission has opined that such  indemnification  is against  public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.


ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED


Not Applicable.

ITEM 8. EXHIBITS


See the Exhibit Index following the signature page in this Registration Statement, which Exhibit Index is incorporated herein by reference.


ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS


(a) The undersigned Company hereby undertakes:


(1)  To file,  during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement to: (i) include any prospectus  required by Section  10(a)(3) of the  Securities  Act; (ii) reflect in the  prospectus  any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement which, individually or in the aggregate,  represent a fundamental  change in the information set forth  in  the  Registration   Statement;   and   notwithstanding  the foregoing,  any increase or decrease in volume of  securities  offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was  registered)  and any deviation  from the low or high end of the estimated  maximum offering range may be selected in the form of a prospectus  filed with the  Commission  pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,  the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate  offering price set forth in the "Calculation  of Registration" table in the effective registration  statement; and (iii)  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 provisions (i)  and (ii) of this undertaking are inapplicable if the information to be filed thereunder is contained in periodic reports filed by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act that are  incorporated  by reference into the Registration Statement;


(2)  That,  for  the  purpose  of  determining   any  liability  under  the  Securities 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; and


(3)  To remove from registration by means of  post-effective  amendment any of  the  securities  being  registered  which  remain  unsold  at  the termination of the offering.


 (b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to  directors,  officers,  and  controlling  persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company 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  director,   officer  or  controlling  person  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  Securities  Act and will be  governed by the final adjudication of such issue.


(c) The Company hereby  undertakes  that,  for purposes of determining  any liability under the Securities  Act, each filing of the Company's  annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and,  where  applicable, each filing of an employee  benefit  plan's  annual  report  pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange  Act) that is  incorporated  by reference in  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.
