</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">The firm of Greenberg Traurig, LLP, Phoenix, Arizona, has acted as counsel for the Registrant
in the preparation of this Registration Statement. As of November&nbsp;5, 2010, certain members of such
firm beneficially owned a total of 5,000 shares of the Registrant&#146;s Common Stock.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">The Registrant&#146;s certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide, in general, that the
Registrant will indemnify and advance expenses, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware
General Corporation Law (the &#147;<U>DGCL</U>&#148;), to each person who is or was a director or officer of
the Registrant, or who serves or served any other enterprise or organization at the request of the
Registrant (an &#147;<U>Indemnitee</U>&#148;). In addition, the Registrant has adopted provisions in its
bylaws and entered into indemnification agreements that require it to indemnify its directors,
officers, and certain other representatives of the Registrant against expenses and certain other
liabilities arising out of their conduct on behalf of the Registrant to the maximum extent and
under all circumstances permitted by law. Indemnification may not apply in certain circumstances
to actions arising under the federal securities laws.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">Under Delaware law, to the extent that an Indemnitee is successful on the merits in defense of
an action, suit, or proceeding brought against him or her by reason of the fact that he or she is
or was a director, officer, or agent of the Registrant, or serves or served any other enterprise or
organization at the request of the Registrant, the Registrant shall indemnify him or her against
expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such
action, suit, or proceeding.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">If unsuccessful in defense of a third-party civil suit or a criminal suit, or if such a suit
is settled, an Indemnitee may be indemnified under Delaware law against both (i)&nbsp;expenses,
including attorneys&#146; fees, and (ii)&nbsp;judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if he or she acted in good
faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests
of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause
to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">If unsuccessful in defense of a suit brought by or in the right of the Registrant, where the
suit is settled, an Indemnitee may be indemnified under Delaware law only against expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or
settlement of the suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Registrant except that if the
Indemnitee is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her
duty to the Registrant, he or she cannot be made whole even for expenses unless a court determines
that he or she is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">Also under Delaware law, expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or
criminal action, suit, or proceeding may be paid by the Registrant in advance of the final
disposition of the suit, action, or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
the officer or director to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant. The Registrant may also advance expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) incurred by other employees and agents of the Registrant upon such terms and
conditions, if any, that the Board of Directors of the Registrant deems appropriate.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">The foregoing is only a general summary of certain aspects of Delaware law and the
Registrant&#146;s certificate of incorporation and bylaws dealing with indemnification of directors and
officers, and does not purport to be complete. It is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
detailed provisions of Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL and the Registrant&#146;s certificate of incorporation
and bylaws.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive
officers to give its directors and executive officers additional contractual assurances regarding
the scope of the indemnification set forth in the Registrant&#146;s certificate of incorporation and
bylaws and to provide additional
procedural protections. The Registrant intends to enter into a similar agreement with its
future directors and executive officers.

In addition, all documents filed with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, or

this Registration Statement, modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified
or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The firm of Greenberg Traurig, LLP, Phoenix, Arizona, has acted as counsel for the Registrant
in the preparation of this Registration Statement. As of November 5, 2010, certain members of such
firm beneficially owned a total of 5,000 shares of the Registrant's Common Stock.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant's certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide, in general, that the
Registrant will indemnify and advance expenses, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware
General Corporation Law (the "
DGCL
"), to each person who is or was a director or officer of
the Registrant, or who serves or served any other enterprise or organization at the request of the
Registrant (an "
Indemnitee
"). In addition, the Registrant has adopted provisions in its
bylaws and entered into indemnification agreements that require it to indemnify its directors,
officers, and certain other representatives of the Registrant against expenses and certain other
liabilities arising out of their conduct on behalf of the Registrant to the maximum extent and
under all circumstances permitted by law. Indemnification may not apply in certain circumstances
to actions arising under the federal securities laws.
Under Delaware law, to the extent that an Indemnitee is successful on the merits in defense of
an action, suit, or proceeding brought against him or her by reason of the fact that he or she is
or was a director, officer, or agent of the Registrant, or serves or served any other enterprise or
organization at the request of the Registrant, the Registrant shall indemnify him or her against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such
action, suit, or proceeding.
If unsuccessful in defense of a third-party civil suit or a criminal suit, or if such a suit
is settled, an Indemnitee may be indemnified under Delaware law against both (i) expenses,
including attorneys' fees, and (ii) judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if he or she acted in good
faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests
of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause
to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
If unsuccessful in defense of a suit brought by or in the right of the Registrant, where the
suit is settled, an Indemnitee may be indemnified under Delaware law only against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or
settlement of the suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Registrant except that if the
Indemnitee is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her
duty to the Registrant, he or she cannot be made whole even for expenses unless a court determines
that he or she is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses.
Also under Delaware law, expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or
criminal action, suit, or proceeding may be paid by the Registrant in advance of the final
disposition of the suit, action, or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
the officer or director to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant. The Registrant may also advance expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred by other employees and agents of the Registrant upon such terms and
conditions, if any, that the Board of Directors of the Registrant deems appropriate.
The foregoing is only a general summary of certain aspects of Delaware law and the
Registrant's certificate of incorporation and bylaws dealing with indemnification of directors and
officers, and does not purport to be complete. It is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
detailed provisions of Section 145 of the DGCL and the Registrant's certificate of incorporation
and bylaws.
The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive
officers to give its directors and executive officers additional contractual assurances regarding
the scope of the indemnification set forth in the Registrant's certificate of incorporation and
bylaws and to provide additional
procedural protections. The Registrant intends to enter into a similar agreement with its
future directors and executive officers.

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 (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if
the 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 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.
3
(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 the time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering
thereof.
(c) 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
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933
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 Securities
Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
