INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL Carr & Waddoups, LLC, Salt Lake City, Utah, is corporate counsel to the Registrant and has rendered an opinion as to the Common Stock offered hereby. ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), may be permitted to members of the board of directors, officers, employees, or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the immediately subsequent provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In accordance with the provisions referenced above, the Company will indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by its Articles and Bylaws, and in the manner permissible under the laws of the State of Utah, any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Company, or served any other enterprise as director, officer or employee at the request of the Company . The Board of Directors, in its discretion, will have the power on behalf of the Company to indemnify any person, other than a director or officer, made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an employee of the Company. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company, the Company 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceedings) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with any securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to 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 issues. The foregoing discussion of indemnification merely summarizes certain aspects of indemnification provisions and is limited by reference to the Sections of the Utah Code Annotated statutes set forth above and the provisions of the Company's Bylaws and the Company's Articles of Incorporation, or any amendments thereto. ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED No restricted securities are being reoffered or resold pursuant to this registration statement. ITEM 8.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, 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) That for purposes of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act, as amended, may be permitted to directors, executive officers and controlling persons of the Registrant as outlined above or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 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, executive officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, executive 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 of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
