ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES General - ------- The Registrant is authorized to issue one hundred million shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"). The Registrant has 13,842,561 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at June 30, 2000. Although the Company's Board of Directors has no present intention to do so, the Board of directors has authority, without action by or vote of the Company's Shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued shares. Any issuance of additional shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock will dilute the percentage ownership interest of Shareholders and may further dilute the book value of the Company's shares. 3 Common Stock - ------------ The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote at any meeting of shareholders. Shares of Common Stock do not carry cumulative voting rights and, therefore, a majority of the shares of outstanding Common Stock will be able to elect the entire board of directors and, if they do so, minority shareholders would not be able to elect any persons to the board of directors. The Registrant's bylaws provide that a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Registrant constitutes a quorum for shareholders' meetings, except with respect to certain matters for which a greater percentage quorum is required by statute or the bylaws. Shareholders of the Registrant have no preemptive rights to acquire additional shares of Common Stock or other securities. The Common Stock is not subject to redemption and carries no subscription or conversion rights. In the event of liquidation of the Registrant, the shares of Common Stock are entitled to share equally in corporate assets after satisfaction of all liabilities. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as the board of directors may from time to time declare out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. The Registrant seeks growth and expansion of its business through the reinvestment of profits, if any, and does not anticipate that it will pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Dividend Policy - --------------- The Registrant has not declared or paid cash dividends or made distributions in the past, and the Registrant does not anticipate that it will pay cash dividends or make distributions in the foreseeable future. The Registrant has not entered into any credit or other agreements that would restrict its ability to pay dividends, however, the Registrant currently intends to retain and reinvest future earnings, if any, to finance its operations. Transfer Agent - -------------- The transfer agent for the Registrant's common stock is Fidelity Transfer Co., 1800 South West Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah 84115. Tel: (801) 484-7222; Fax: (801) 466-4122. 4 ITEM 5. INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL No expert or counsel for the Company named in this registration statement as having prepared or certified any part hereof, or as giving an opinion as to the validity of the securities being registered was employed on a contingency basis, or has or is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest in the Company or its subsidiaries. In addition no such expert or counsel is connected with the Company or its subsidiaries as a promoter, managing underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer, or employee. ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS Section 145 of the Delaware Corporation Law provides in relevant parts as follows: (1) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or on a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. (2) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the feet that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine on application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper. (3) To the extent that a director, officer, employee, or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any 5 action, suit, or proceeding referred to in 1) or (2) of this subsection, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. (4) The indemnification provided by this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person. The foregoing discussion of indemnification merely summarizes certain aspects of indemnification provisions and is limited by reference to the above discussed sections of the Delaware Corporation Law. The Registrant's certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that the Registrant "may indemnify" to the full extent of its power to do so, all directors, officers, employees, and/or agents. It is anticipated that the Registrant will indemnify its officers and directors to the full extent permitted by the above-quoted statute. Insofar as indemnification by the Registrant for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to officers and directors of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant is aware that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

UNDERTAKINGS REGULATION S-K Post-Effective Amendments-Item 512(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, 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, 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. Filings Incorporating Subsequent Exchange Act Documents by Reference-Item 512(b) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended , each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or 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(a) 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. Filing of Registration Statement on Form S-8 - Item 512(h) - ---------------------------------------------------------- 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. 8 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 Downers Grove, State of Illinois, on the 14th day of September, 2000.

EX-4 5 fs8ex4.txt LEXON 2000 STOCK OPTION PLAN 1 EXHIBIT 4.02 LEXON TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 2000 NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN LEXON TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby adopts this 2000 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), this 14th day of September 2000, under which options to acquire stock of the Company may be granted from time to time to employees and consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries. In addition, at the discretion of the board of directors, options to acquire stock of the Company may from time to time be granted under this Plan to other individuals who contribute to the success of the Company or its subsidiaries and are not employees of the Company, all on the terms and conditions set forth herein. 1. Purpose of the Plan. The Plan is intended to aid the Company in maintaining and developing a management team, attracting qualified officers and employees capable of assisting in the future success of the Company, and rewarding those individuals who have contributed to the success of the Company. It is designed to aid the Company in retaining the services of executives and employees and in attracting new personnel when needed for future operations and growth and to provide such personnel with an incentive to remain employees of the Company, to use their best efforts to promote the success of the Company's business, and to provide them with an opportunity to obtain or increase a proprietary interest in the Company. It is also designed to permit the Company to reward those individuals who are not employees of the Company but who are perceived by management as having contributed to the success of the Company or who are important to the continued business and operations of the Company. The above aims will be effectuated through the granting of options ("Options") to purchase shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the "Stock"), subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan. 2. Effective Date. The Plan shall become effective immediately on adoption by the board of directors of the Company (the "Board"). 3. Administration of the Plan. Administration of the Plan shall be determined by the Board. Subject to compliance with applicable provisions of the governing law, the Board may delegate administration of the Plan or specific administrative duties with respect to the Plan, on such terms and to such committees of the Board as it deems proper. Any Option approved by the Board shall be approved by a majority vote of those members of the Board in attendance at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Any Option approved by a committee designated by the Board shall be approved as specified by the Board at the time of delegation. The interpretation and construction of the terms of the Plan by the Board or a duly authorized committee shall be final and binding on all participants in the Plan absent a showing of demonstrable error. No member of the Board or duly authorized committee shall be liable for any action taken or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan. 4. Shares of Stock Subject to the Plan. A total of two million five hundred thousand (2,500,000) shares of Stock may be subject to, or issued pursuant to, Options granted under the terms of this Plan. Any shares subject to an Option under the Plan, which Option for any reason expires or is forfeited, terminated, or surrendered unexercised as to such shares, shall be added back to the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the terms of this Plan, and if any right to acquire Stock granted under the Plan is exercised by the delivery of shares of Stock or the relinquishment of rights to shares of Stock, only the net shares of Stock issued (the shares of Stock issued less the shares of Stock surrendered) shall count against the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the terms of this Plan. 2 5. Reservation of Stock on Granting of Option. At the time of granting any Option under the terms of this Plan, there will be reserved for issuance on the exercise of the Option the number of shares of Stock of the Company subject to such Option. The Company may reserve either authorized but unissued shares or issued shares that have been reacquired by the Company. 6. Eligibility. Options under the Plan may be granted to employees, including officers, and directors of the Company or its subsidiaries, as may be existing from time to time, and to other individuals who are not employees of the Company, but performed bona fide services to the Company, as may be deemed in the best interest of the Company by the Board or a duly authorized committee. Such Options shall be in the amounts, and shall have the rights and be subject to the restrictions, as may be determined by the Board or a duly authorized committee, all as may be within the general provisions of this Plan. 7. Term of Options and Certain Limitations on Right to Exercise. (a) Each Option shall have the term established by the Board or duly authorized committee at the time the Option is granted but in no event may an Option have a term in excess of five (5) years. (b) The term of the Option, once it is granted, may be reduced only as provided for in this Plan and under the written provisions of the Option. (c) Unless otherwise specifically provided by the written provisions of the Option, no holder or his or her legal representative, legatee, or distributee will be, or shall be deemed to be, a holder of any shares subject to an Option unless and until the holder exercises his or her right to acquire all or a portion of the Stock subject to the Option and delivers the required consideration to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Plan and then only to the extent of the number of shares of Stock acquired. Except as specifically provided in this Plan or as otherwise specifically provided by the written provisions of the Option, no adjustment to the exercise price or the number of shares of Stock subject to the Option shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date the Stock subject to the Option is acquired by the holder. (d) Options under the Plan shall vest and become exercisable at such time or times and on such terms as the Board or a duly authorized committee may determine at the time of the grant of the Option. (e) Options granted under the Plan shall contain such other provisions, including, without limitation, further restrictions on the vesting and exercise of the Option, as the Board or a duly authorized committee shall deem advisable. (f) In no event may an Option be exercised after the expiration of its term. 8. Exercise Price. The exercise price of each Option issued under the Plan shall be determined by the Board or a duly authorized committee on the date of grant. 9. Payment of Exercise Price. The exercise of any Option shall be contingent on receipt by the Company of cash, certified bank check to its order, or other consideration acceptable to the Company; provided, that at the discretion of the Board or a duly authorized committee, the written provisions of the Option may provide that payment can be made in whole or in part in shares of Stock of the Company, which Stock shall be valued at its then fair market value as 3 determined by the Board or a duly authorized committee, or by the surrender or cancellation of other rights to Stock of the Company, or by presentation of invoices for services performed. Any consideration approved by the Board or a duly authorized committee, that calls for the payment of the exercise price over a period of more than one year shall provide for interest, which shall not be included as part of the exercise price, that is equal to or exceeds the imputed interest provided for in section 483 of the Code or any amendment or successor section of like tenor. 10. Withholding. If the grant or exercise of an Option pursuant to this Plan is subject to withholding or other trust fund payment requirements of the Code or applicable state or local laws, such requirements may, at the discretion of the Board or a duly authorized committee and to the extent permitted by the terms of the Option and the then governing provisions of the Code and the Exchange Act, be met (i) by the holder of the Option either delivering shares of Stock or canceling Options or other rights to acquire Stock with a fair market value equal to such requirements; (ii) by the Company withholding shares of Stock subject to the Option with a fair market value equal to such requirements; or (iii) by the Company making such withholding or other trust fund payment and the Option holder reimbursing the Company such amount paid within 10 days after written demand therefor from the Company. 11. Dilution or Other Adjustment. In the event that the number of shares of Stock of the Company from time to time issued and outstanding is increased pursuant to a stock split or a stock dividend, the number of shares of Stock then covered by each outstanding Option granted hereunder shall be increased proportionately, with no increase in the total purchase price of the shares then so covered, and the number of shares of Stock subject to the Plan shall be increased by the same proportion. In the event that the number of shares of Stock of the Company from time to time issued and outstanding is reduced by a combination or consolidation of shares, the number of shares of Stock then covered by each outstanding Option granted hereunder shall be reduced proportionately, with no reduction in the total purchase price of the shares then so covered, and the number of shares of Stock subject to the Plan shall be reduced by the same proportion. In the event that the Company should transfer assets to another corporation and distribute the stock of such other corporation without the surrender of Stock of the Company, and if such distribution is not taxable as a dividend and no gain or loss is recognized by reason of section 355 of the Code or any amendment or successor statute of like tenor, then the total purchase price of the Stock then covered by each outstanding Option shall be reduced by an amount that bears the same ratio to the total purchase price then in effect as the market value of the stock distributed in respect of a share of the Stock of the Company, immediately following the distribution, bears to the aggregate of the market value at such time of a share of the Stock of the Company plus the stock distributed in respect thereof. In the event that the Company distributes the stock of a subsidiary to its shareholders, makes a distribution of a major portion of its assets, or otherwise distributes significant portion of the value of its issued and outstanding Stock to its shareholders, the number of shares then subject to each outstanding Option and the Plan, or the exercise price of each outstanding Option, may be adjusted in the reasonable discretion of the Board or a duly authorized committee. All such adjustments shall be made by the Board or duly authorized committee, whose determination upon the same, absent demonstrable error, shall be final and binding on all participants under the Plan. No fractional shares shall be issued, and any fractional shares resulting from the computations pursuant to this section shall be eliminated from the respective Option. No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends, for the issuance of additional shares of Stock for consideration approved by the Board, or for the issuance to stockholders of rights to subscribe for additional Stock or other securities. 4 12. Options to Foreign Nationals. The Board or a duly authorized committee may, in order to fulfill the purposes of this Plan and without amending the Plan, grant Options to foreign nationals or individuals residing in foreign countries that contain provisions, restrictions, and limitations different from those set forth in this Plan and the Options made to United States residents in order to recognize differences among the countries in law, tax policy, and custom. Such grants shall be made in an attempt to provide such individuals with essentially the same benefits as contemplated by a grant to United States residents under the terms of this Plan. 13. Assignment. No Option granted under this Plan shall be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined in the Code. Except as permitted by the foregoing, each Option granted under the Plan and the rights and privileges thereby conferred shall not be transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise), and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, or similar process. On any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of the Option, or of any right or privilege conferred thereby, contrary to the provisions thereof, or on the levy of any attachment or similar process on such rights and privileges, the Option and such rights and privileges shall immediately become null and void. 14. Effect of Termination of Employment. In the event that any holder is terminated or resigns from his or her position with the Company or a subsidiary within six months of the grant of an award, any unexercised portion of such Option shall immediately become null and void and such holder shall have no further rights thereunder. In the event that any officer or employee of the Company or a subsidiary is terminated at any time for, in the determination of the Board or a duly authorized committee, gross negligence in the performance of his or her duties, substantial failure to meet written standards established by the Company and agreed to by the officer or employee for the performance of his or her duties, criminal misconduct, or willful or gross misconduct in the performance of his or her duties, the Board or a duly authorized committee may cancel any and all rights such individual may have in the unexercised portion of any Option held at the time of termination. In the event that any individual contracted to perform services for the Company in exchange for the grant of an Option hereunder fails to provide such services and such contract is terminated, any unvested portion of such Option shall immediately become null and void and such holder shall have no further rights thereunder.
