A compound of Formula I:

• wherein
• X is CH, CR1, or N;
• A1 is C(1-2)alkyl;
• A2 is cyclobutyl, or C(1-4)alkyl, wherein said C(1-4)alkyl is optionally substituted with OCH3 or up to three fluorine atoms;
• or A1 and A2 are taken together with their attached nitrogen to form a ring selected the group consisting of azetidinyl, piperidinyl, pyrrolidinyl,
• wherein said ring is optionally substituted with up to three substituents independently selected from the group consisting of F, CF3, CH3, —CN, and CH2OH;
• R1 is Cl, C(CH3)3, CH2CH3, OCF3, CF3, OCH(CH3)2, CHF2, OCHF2, OCH3, F, CH3, or —CN;
• R2 is H, F, or Cl;
• or R1 and R2 may be taken together with their attached phenyl to form a naphthalenyl, or quinolinyl group;
• R3 is CF3, or CH2CH3;
• A3 is H
• A4 is H, C(1-5)alkyl,
• wherein said C(1-5)alkyl is optionally substituted with one to two substituents independently selected from COOH, CONH2, —CN, and OH;
• or A3 and A4 may be taken together with their attached nitrogen to make a ring selected from the group consisting of
• and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
