December 31, 2002;
(b) The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter

(f) All documents filed by the Registrant subsequent to the date
hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities
offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities
remaining unsold.
ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
A description of the Registrant's common stock, par value $0.01 per
share, is incorporated by reference under Item 3.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
(a) Article EIGHT of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation is
set forth as Exhibit 3.1 to the Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended June 30, 2001 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on August 14, 2001 and is incorporated herein by reference.
(b) Sections 78.751 and 78.752 of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Nevada, entitled "Indemnification of officers, directors, employees and
agents; advancement of expenses" and "Insurance and other financial arrangements
against liability of directors, officers, employees and agents", respectively,
are set forth as Exhibit 28.2 to the Registrant's Form S-8 Registration
Statement (Registration No. 33-63446) filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on May 27, 1993 and are incorporated herein by reference.
- 2 -
(c) The Registrant has in effect a policy of liability insurance
covering its directors and officers.
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 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 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of the 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 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.
ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.
Not applicable.

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) 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
- 3 -

foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of

registered) and any deviation from the low or high
end of the estimated maximum offering range may be
reflected in the form of 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% change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement;
(iii) 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.
(2) 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.
(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.
(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 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) The undertaking concerning indemnification is set forth under the
response to Item 6.
(e) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and,
where interim financial information required to be presented by
Article 3 of Regulation S-X are 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.
