    For purposes of this Registration Statement, any document or any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated herein by reference shall be deemed to be modified or superseded to the extent that subsequently filed document or a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document that also is or is deemed to be incorporated herein by reference modifies or supersedes such document or such statement in such document. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

     

    Item 4. Description of Securities.

    Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

     

    Not applicable.

     

    Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     

    The Registrant is incorporated in the State of Colorado. Sections 7-109-101 through 7-109-110 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act, as amended (“CBCA”), provide that a Colorado corporation may indemnify any person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a party in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, or while a director, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, partner, manager, member, trustee, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of or in a similar capacity with another entity, against liability incurred in such proceeding if such person acted in good faith and (i) with respect to conduct in such person’s official capacity, the person reasonably believed his or her conduct to be in the best interests of the corporation, (ii) with respect to conduct in other cases, the person reasonably believed his or her conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and (iii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. A Colorado corporation may indemnify an officer who is not a director to a greater extent if not inconsistent with public policy. Except to the extent authorized by a court, a Colorado corporation may not indemnify a director who is adjudged liable in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation or in a proceeding charging that the director derived an improper personal benefit. In either case, indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses. The Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws of the Registrant generally require it indemnify officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.

     

    Section 7-109-108 of the CBCA allows a Colorado corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director or officer against liability arising from such person’s status as a director or officer regardless of whether the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against the same liability under the CBCA. The Registrant maintains insurance policies under which its directors and officers are insured, within the limits and subject to the limitations of the policies, against expenses in connection with the defense of actions, suits or proceedings, and certain liabilities that might be imposed as a result of such actions, suits or proceedings, to which they are parties by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Registrant. The Registrant has no other agreements with its officers and directors that pertain to indemnification.

     

    Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed.

     

    Not applicable.

    Item 8. Exhibits.

     

    Exhibit No.

    Item 9. Undertakings.

     

    (a) 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;

     

    (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the 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 the Registration Statement; and

     

    (iii) 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; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if 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 Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement;

     

    3

     

     

    (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities 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; 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, 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 Securities 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 Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

    SIGNATURES

     

    Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, 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 Castle Rock, State of Colorado, on December 8, 2025.
