Item 4.                    Description of Securities.

All outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and the shares to be issued as contemplated herein will be, fully paid and nonassessable. As a class, holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share in all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends when and as declared by the Board of Directors out of the surplus or net profits of the Company legally available therefor, equally, on a share for share basis. The Company does not anticipate paying dividends in the near future. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to share equally, on a share for share basis, in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to the prior distribution rights of any other classes or series of capital stock then outstanding. The Common Stock has no preemptive rights and is neither redeemable nor convertible, and there are no sinking fund provisions.

Item 5.                    Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Richardson & Patel LLP has given an opinion on the validity of the securities being registered hereunder.  Nimish Patel, a partner of the law firm, is eligible to receive shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to this Form S-8 registration statement.

Item 6.                    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 78(1)(2)(3) & (4) of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "NRS") permits corporations to indemnify a director, officer or control person of the corporation or its stockholders for any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expense. Our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws allows us to indemnify and hold harmless our directors and officers from any liability or damage incurred by them as a result of the performance of their duties to the Company within the scope of their authority, or because of their position as officers and directors of the Company, to the maximum extent permitted by and subject to the limitations of applicable state and federal law. The Company is also authorized to enter into separate indemnification agreements with its officers and directors in accordance with any resolution duly adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Item 7.                    Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.

Item 9.                    Undertakings.

(a)           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 (1) 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) 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; and (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 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 that 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 (the “Act”) 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 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.
