Item 4. Description of Securities

Securities are registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers:

Our Bylaws contain an indemnification provision that limits the officers and directors' personal liability to us or any of our stockholders for monetary damage for any breach or alleged breach of fiduciary or professional duty by such person acting in such capacity. A person specifically covered by the indemnification provision in our Bylaws shall still be liable to the extent provided by applicable law for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law. We anticipate that we will enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers pursuant to which we agree to indemnify each such director and executive officer for all expenses and liabilities, including criminal monetary judgments, penalties and fines, incurred by such director and officer in connection with any criminal or civil action brought or threatened against such director or officer by reason of such person being or having been an officer or director of ours. In order to be entitled to indemnification by us, such person must have acted honestly, in good faith, and in a manner such officer or director believed to be in our best interests. With respect to criminal actions, our officers and directors are entitled to indemnification if they had no reasonable grounds to believe their conduct was unlawful. We shall also indemnify our officers and directors in such other circumstances as permitted or required under Nevada law.

IN THE OPINION OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, INDEMNIFICATION FOR LIABILITIES ARISING PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 IS CONTRARY TO PUBLIC POLICY AND, THEREFORE, UNENFORCEABLE.

Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed

Not Applicable.

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 of 1933;

 
(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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) 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.

 
(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 (1)(a)(i) and (1)(a)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic 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 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.

 
(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 a 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 (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 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 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.

 

 
SIGNATURES

The Registrant. Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf of the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of San Diego, California, United States, on November 20, 2006.

EX-4.1 2 ethos2006stockplan.htm ETHOS 2006 STOCK PLAN Ethos 2006 Stock Plan
ETHOS ENVIRONMENTAL, INC.

2006 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN


1. Purpose of the Plan. The purpose of the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”) of ETHOS ENVIRONMENTAL, INC., a Nevada corporation, (“Company”) is to provide the Company with a means of compensating selected key employees (including officers) and directors of and consultants to the Company for their services rendered in connection with the development of the Company with shares of Common Stock of the Company.

2. Administration of the Plan. The Plan shall be administered by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

2.1 Award or Sales of shares. The Company’s Board shall (a) select those key employees (including officers), directors and consultants to whom shares of the Company’s Common Stock shall be awarded or sold, and (b) determine the number of shares to be awarded or sold; the time or times at which shares shall be awarded or sold; whether the shares to be awarded or sold will be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and such conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal or other transfer restrictions as the Board may determine. Each award or sale of shares under the Plan may or may not be evidenced by a written agreement between the Company and the persons to whom shares of the Company’s Common Stock are awarded or sold. 

2.2 Consideration for Shares. Shares of the Company’s Common Stock to be awarded or sold under the Plan shall be issued for such consideration, having a value not less than par value thereof, as shall be determined from time to time by the Board in its sole discretion.

2.3 Board Procedures. The Board from time to time may adopt such rules and regulations for carrying out the purposes of the Plan as it may deem proper and in the best interests of the Company. The Board shall keep minutes of its meetings and records of its actions. A majority of the members of the Board shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business by the Board. The Board may act at any time by an affirmative vote of a majority of those members voting. Such vote shall be taken at a meeting (which may be conducted in person or by any telecommunication medium) or by written consent of Board members without a meeting.

2.4 Finality of Board Action. The Board shall resolve all questions arising under the Plan. Each determination, interpretation, or other action made or taken by the Board shall be final and conclusive and binding on all persons, including, without limitation, the Company, its stockholders, the Board and each of the members of the Board.

2.5 Non-Liability of Board Members. No Board member shall be liable for any action or determination made by him in good faith with respect to the Plan or any shares of the Company’s Common Stock sold or awarded under it.

2.6 Board Power to Amend, Suspend, or Terminate the Plan. The Board may, from time to time, make such changes in or additions to the Plan as it may deem proper and in the best interests of the Company and its Stockholders. The Board may also suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, without notice, and in its sole discretion.
 
3. Shares Subject to the Plan. For purposes of the Plan, the Board of Directors is authorized to sell or award 3,500,000 shares and/or options of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”).

3.1 Grants of Stock Options. Stock Options granted under the Plan shall constitute "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, if so designated by the Board on the date of grant. The Board shall also have the discretion to grant Stock Options which do not constitute incentive stock options, and any such Stock Options shall be designated non-statutory stock options by the Board on the date of grant. The aggregate fair market value (determined as of the time an incentive stock option is granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by any Employee during any one calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any parent or subsidiary of the Company) may not exceed the maximum amount permitted under Section 422 of the Code (currently one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00)). Non-Statutory Stock Options (“NSO”) shall not be subject to the limitations relating to incentive stock options contained in the preceding sentence. Each Stock Option shall be evidenced by a written agreement (the "Option Agreement") in a form approved by the Board, which shall be executed on behalf of the Company and by the Employee to whom the Stock Option is granted, and which shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan. The holder of a Stock Option shall not be entitled to the privileges of stock ownership as to any shares of Common Stock not actually issued to such holder.

3.2 Assignability. Options granted under this Plan may be, if designated as such, assigned to third parties.

3.3 Restrictions on Transfer. Each Stock Option granted under this Plan shall be transferable only by will or the laws of descent and distribution. No interest of any Employee under the Plan shall be subject to attachment, execution, garnishment, sequestration, the laws of bankruptcy or any other legal or equitable process. Each Stock Option granted under this Plan shall be exercisable during an Employee's lifetime only by such Employee or by such Employee's legal representative.

4. Participants. All key employees (including officers) and directors of and consultants to the Company and any of its subsidiaries (sometimes referred to herein as (“participants”) are eligible to participate in the Plan. A copy of this Plan shall be delivered to all participants, together with a copy of any Board resolutions authorizing the issuance of the shares and establishing the terms and conditions, if any, relating to the sale or award of such shares.

4.1 Misconduct of an Employee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, if an Employee commits fraud or dishonesty toward the Company or wrongfully uses or discloses any trade secret, confidential data or other information proprietary to the Company, or intentionally takes any other action materially inimically to the best interests of the Company, as determined by the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, such Employee shall forfeit all rights and benefits under this Plan.

5. Rights and Obligations of Participants. The award or sale of shares of Common stock shall be conditioned upon the participant providing to the Board a written representation that, at the time of such award or sale, it is the intent of such person(s) to acquire the shares for investment only and not with a view toward distribution. The certificate for unregistered shares issued for investment shall be restricted by the Company as to transfer unless the Company receives an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such restriction is not necessary under the pertaining law. The providing of such representation and such restriction on transfer shall not, however, be required upon any person’s receipt of shares of Common Stock under the Plan in the event that, at the time of award or sale, the shares shall be (i) covered by an effective and current registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and (ii) either qualified or exempt from qualification under applicable state securities laws. The Company shall, however, under no circumstances be required to sell or issue any shares under the Plan if, in the opinion of the Board, (i) the issuance of such shares would constitute a violation by the participant or the Company of any applicable law or regulation of any governmental authority, or (ii) the consent or approval of any governmental body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance of such shares.

6. Payment of Shares.

(a) The entire purchase price of shares issued under the Plan shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America at the time when such shares are purchased.

7. Adjustments. If the outstanding Common Stock shall be hereafter increased or decreased, or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company or of another corporation, by reason of a recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization, merger, consolidation, share exchange, or other business combination in which the Company is the surviving parent corporation, stock split-up, combination of shares, or dividend or other distribution payable in capital stock or rights to acquire capital stock, appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Board in the number and kind of shares which may be granted under the Plan.

8. Tax Withholding. As a condition to the purchase or award of shares, the participant shall make such arrangements as the Board may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such purchase or award.

9. Terms of the Plan.

9.1 Effective Date. This Plan shall become effective on November 20, 2006.

9.2 Termination Date. The Plan shall terminate at Midnight on December 31, 2016, and no shares shall be awarded or sold after that time. The Plan may be suspended or terminated at any earlier time by the Board within the limitations set forth in Section 2.6.

10. Non-Exclusivity of the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan is intended to amend, modify, or rescind any previously approved compensation plans, programs or options entered into by the Company. This Plan shall be construed to be in addition to and independent of any and all such other arrangements. The adoption of the Plan by the Board shall not be construed as creating any limitations on the power of authority of the Board to adopt, with or without stockholder approval, such additional or other compensation arrangements as the Board may from time to time deem desirable.

11. Compliance With Rule 16b-3. Transactions under the Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3. To the extent that any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee.

12. Governing Law. The Plan and all rights and obligations under it shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of Nevada.

        Registration Statement of Form S-8 
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
This opinion is furnished to you in connection with a registration statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the registration of 3,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), of Ethos Environmental, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) to be issued pursuant to the Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
 
We have acted as counsel for the Company in connection with the Registration Statement and the Plan. In rendering the opinion set forth below, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion.
 
The law covered by this opinion is limited to the Nevada Revised Statutes.
 
Based on and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, when issued and sold in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
 
We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. In giving this opinion, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.
 
Very truly yours,

CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



We consent to the incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement on Form S-8 of Ethos Environmental, Inc. (formerly known as Victor Industries, Inc.) of our report dated April 9, 2006, on our audit of the consolidated balance sheet of Victor Industries, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Our report, dated April 9, 2006, contains an explanatory paragraph that states that Victor Industries, Inc. has not generated positive cash flows from operations and has an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2005. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
