Robbins, PC has consulted and assisted in the preparation of this Registration Statement. Both AJ. Robbins, PC and its principals have accepted our common stock in exchange for services rendered to us in the past, and although they are under no obligation to do so, they may continue to accept our common stock for services rendered to us. ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law permits the indemnification of a corporation's agent (which includes officers and directors) if such agent is a party (or is threatened to be made a party) to any action or proceeding by reason of the fact that the person is or was an agent of the corporation or because he is a party (or is threatened to be made a party) to any action or proceeding brought by or on behalf of a corporation. If the agent is successful on the merits in defense of any action or proceeding, the corporation must indemnify the agent against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the agent in such defense. The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide that the liability of directors for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under California law. The Registrant's Bylaws require the Registrant to indemnify its officers and directors, to the maximum extent permitted by the California General Corporation Law, against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding arising by reason of the fact any person is or was an officer or director of the Registrant. In this regard, the Registrant has the power to advance to any officer or director expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding to the maximum extent permitted by law. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for the Registrant's directors, officers, and controlling persons 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.

UNDERTAKINGS 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 this 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 this Registration Statement. 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 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 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not apply if this Registration Statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement. (2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, to treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering; (3) To remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering by means of a post-effective amendment; and (4) For determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, in a primary offering of securities of the Registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, to be a seller to the purchaser and to be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: a) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; b) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the Registrant or used or referred to by the Registrant; c) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the Registrant or its securities provided by or on its behalf; and d) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the Registrant to the purchaser. (5) 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 this 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. (6) 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 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 that 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. 3 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Los Angeles, California, on February 17, 2009.
