Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law empowers a Delaware
corporation to indemnify any person who is, or is threatened to be made, a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or preceding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in
the right of such corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was
an officer or director of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request
of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent or another
corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including
attorney's fees), judgements, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suite or
proceeding, provided that he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, has no reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers
and directors in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same
conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial
approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable for negligence or
misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation. Here an officer or
director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action
referred to above; the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses,
which he actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. The
indemnification provided is not deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to
which an officer or director may be entitled under a corporation's by-laws, an
agreement, vote or otherwise.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended,
permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a
director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except for liability (I) for any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts of omissions not
in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv)
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
Article EIGHT of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended, sets forth the extent to which directors and officers of the Registrant
may be indemnified against liabilities which they incur in their capacities as
directors or officers of the Registrant. Article EIGHT also provides that
director or the Registrant shall not be liable to the Registrant or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to
the fullest extent such limitation is permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law.
Article V of the Company's By-laws provides as follows:
The corporation shall indemnify any and all of its Directors or Officers or
former Directors or Officers or any person who may have served at its request as
a Director or Officer of another corporation in which it owns shares of capital
stock or of which it is a creditor against expenses actually and necessarily
incurred by them in connection with the defense of any action, suit or
proceeding in which they, or any of them, are made party, or they, by reason of
being or having been Directors of Officers or a Director or Officer of the
corporation, or of such other corporation, except, in relation to matters as to
which any such Director or Officer or former Director or Officer or person shall
be adjudged in such action, suits or proceedings to be liable for negligence or
misconduct, in the performance of duty. Such indemnification shall not be deemed
exclusive by any others' rights to which those indemnified may be entitled,
under By-law, agreement, vote of stockholder or otherwise.

Item 9. Undertakings
1. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes 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.
2. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes 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. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes 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.

<PAGE>
4. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement related to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at such time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
5. Insofar as indemnification of 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 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 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.

2000 of the Genesis transaction of March 31, 1994 relating to the
previous issue of 1.5 million shares in the Company, thereby canceling
the 1.5 million shares previously issued to Genesis, currently held by

to the Company.
100,000 restricted shares to be issued to RT Robertson

(Certificate # 59635), such to be reissued upon receipt and
cancellation of original certificate from Bowers.
1,250,000 restricted shares to be issued to RT Robertson
Consultants, Inc. in a single certificate.
Mr. Schubert then asked Dr. Reeves to update the Board about the Polar
transaction. Reeves explained that both the S-4 and S-1 draft registrations had
been reviewed by Counsel and the Auditor and were ready for release. After each
Director was given the opportunity to ask questions and make comments, it was
VOTED to authorize Dr. Reeves to file Form S-4 & S-1 registration
documents with SEC relating to the Polar transaction and the spin off
of the Subsidiary.
<PAGE>
FURTHER to set the record date for the stockholder meeting to approve
the Polar transaction as well as for the spin off of the Subsidiary at
March 15, 2000.
