(the "Securities"), and pursuant to filings that have been made or will be made
with the applicable authorities of states in which the offering will be
undertaken. The Company is offering the Shares subject to the terms of the

Shares may be lawfully offered by the Selected Dealer in the states in which
the Selected Dealer is registered as a broker-dealer. The terms and conditions

a commission of ten percent (10%) of the purchase price of the Shares.
3. STATUS OF SELECTED DEALER.
The Selected Dealer agrees to purchase the Company's Common Stock for
its customers, and all such purchases shall be made only upon orders already
received by the Selected Dealer from its customers. In all sales of the

contained in the Prospectus. Copies of the Prospectus will be supplied by the
Company in reasonable quantities upon request.
b. The Selected Dealer will not offer or sell the Shares in any
jurisdiction except those with respect to which the Company has advised you
that such offers or sales will be permissible under the state securities or
Blue Sky Laws of the respective jurisdictions (notwithstanding any information
furnished or any action taken in connection therewith, the Company shall have
no obligation or responsibility with respect to the registration or
qualification of the Shares in any jurisdiction or the right of any Selected

any Shares in jurisdictions where the Shares have not been registered or
qualified, you will accept sole responsibility for any curative measures with
respect to, or liability arising from, such sales.

arrangements" or "multiple tying arrangements" or accept any after market
orders for Company common stock prior to the closing of the offering.

responsibility for thorough and proper training of its representatives
concerning the selling methods to be used in connection with the offer and sale
of the Company's Shares giving special emphasis to the principles of full and
fair disclosure to prospective investors and the prohibitions against "Free-
Riding and Withholding".
13. COMPANY'S INDEMNIFICATION.
The Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Selected Dealer
and each person, if any, who controls the Selected Dealer within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Act, free and harmless from and against any and all losses,
claims, demands, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal or other
expenses incurred by each such person in connection with defending or
investigating any such claims or liabilities, whether or not resulting in any
liability to such person), which the Selected Dealer or controlling person may
incur under the federal or state securities laws and regulations thereunder,
state statutes or at common law or otherwise, but only to the extent that such
losses, claims, demands, liabilities and expenses shall arise out of or be
based upon a violation or alleged violation of the federal or state securities
laws and regulations thereunder, state statutes or the common law, including
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact required to
be stated in the Prospectus, or in any amendment or amendments to the
Prospectus, or in any application or other papers (hereinafter collectively
called "Blue Sky Application"), or shall rise out of or be based upon any
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated in the Prospectus, in any amendment or amendments, in any Blue Sky
Application, or necessary to make the statements in any thereof not misleading,
provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any such
losses, claims, demands, liabilities, or expenses arising out of or based upon
any such violation, statement or omission made in reliance upon information
furnished to the Company by the Selected Dealer in writing expressly for use in
the Prospectus or in any amendment or amendments or in a Blue Sky Application.
The Selected Dealer agrees to give the Company an opportunity to participate in
the defense or preparation of the defense of any action brought against the
Selected Dealer or controlling person of the Selected Dealer to enforce any
such claim or liability and the Company shall have the right to so participate.
The agreement of the Company under this indemnity is expressly conditioned upon
notice of any such action having been sent by the Selected Dealer or
controlling person, as the case may be, to the Company, by letter or telegram,
promptly after the commencement of such an action against the Selected Dealer
or controlling person, such notice either being accompanied by copies of papers
served or filed in connection with such action or by a statement of the nature
of the action to the extent known to the Selected Dealer. Failure to notify
the Company within a reasonable amount of time of any such action shall relieve
the Company of its liabilities under the foregoing indemnity, but failure to
notify the Company as herein provided shall not relieve it from any liability
which it may have to the Selected Dealer or controlling persons other than on
account of the indemnity agreement. The foregoing described indemnity of the
Company in favor of the Selected Dealer and controlling persons shall not be
deemed to protect the Selected Dealer and controlling persons against any
liability to which the Selected Dealer or controlling persons would otherwise
be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in
the performance of their duties, or by reasons of their reckless disregard of
their obligations and duties under this Agreement.
14. SELECTED DEALER'S INDEMNIFICATION.
The Selected Dealer hereby agrees to indemnify and to hold harmless
the Company and each person, if any , who controls the Company within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages,
or liabilities to which the Company may become subject under the Act, or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon information contained in the
Prospectus, or other document filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, to the extent such information is supplied by the Selected Dealer
to the Company for inclusion therein, or are based upon alleged
misrepresentations or omissions to state material facts in connection with the
statements made by the Selected Dealer or the Selected Dealer's salesmen orally
or by other means, or are based upon the Selected Dealer's offers or sales of
Shares made in any state or other jurisdiction in violation of such state's or
other jurisdiction's laws or regulations; and the Selected Dealer will
reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with the investigation of or the defending of any such action or
claim. The Company shall, after receiving the first Summons or other legal
process disclosing the nature of the action being served upon it in any
proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Company
hereunder, promptly notify the Selected Dealer in writing of the commencement
thereof. In case any such litigation be brought against the Company, the
Company shall notify The Selected Dealer of the commencement thereof, and the
Selected Dealer shall be entitled to participate in (and, to the extent the
Selected Dealer shall wish, to direct) the defense thereof at the Selected
Dealer's own expense, but such defense shall be conducted by counsel of good
standing satisfactory to the Company. If the Selected Dealer shall fail to
provide such defense, the Company may defend such action at the Selected
Dealer's cost and expense. The Selected Dealer's obligation under this
paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
15. EXPENSES.
The Selected Dealer will be responsible for its share of any
liability or expenses as a result of any tax, claim or the expenses of
resisting a claim imposed in connection with the offering of the Shares, except
those expenses which may be covered by the Company's indemnification described
in Paragraph 14.
16. USE OF SELECTED DEALER'S NAME.

manner of any public advertisement of the Shares including using the Selected
Dealer's name in the advertisement.
