The election of the nominees requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock represented at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. The business of the Company is managed under the direction of the Board. The Board presently consists of five directors, three of which are outside members and two are officers of the Company. The Board members will serve until their successors are elected at the 2003 Annual Meeting, unless they earlier resign or are removed as provided in the Bylaws. Term and Classification of Board of Directors The Board of Directors has determined that there will be two Class of Directors and the full Board shall consist of five directors. Class A Directors are elected every three years and Class B Directors are elected each year for one-year term. The stockholders will elect one Class A and four Class B directors for the coming year. REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Board of Directors, which consists of five directors, three of which are outside members and two are officers of the Company, establishes the general compensation policies of the Company and the compensation plans and specific compensation levels for executive officers. The Company does not have a separate Compensation Committee of its Board of Directors. The Company's objective is to ensure that executive compensation be directly linked to ongoing improvement in corporate performance and increasing shareholder value. The following objectives are guidelines for compensation decisions: Job Classification. The Company assigns a job grade to each salaries position, and each job grade has a salary range, which is based on national salary surveys. These salary ranges are reviewed annually to determine parity with national compensation trends, and to ensure that the Company maintains a competitive compensation structure. Competitive Salary Base. Actual salaries are based on individual performance contributions within a competitive salary range for each position established through job evaluation and market comparisons. The salary of each corporate officer is reviewed annually by the Board of Directors. As of this writing, Anthony C. Dike, MD has not received any monetary compensation from the Corporation, he has elected to be compensated in Company's stock and stock options, until such a time the Company can afford to pay him salary. Also, Mr. Russ Lyon has been receiving about 50% of his contracted salary since the beginning of 2002 fiscal year, in order to help the Company conserve the needed cash for other corporate cause. Mr. Lyon will be paid back salary owed to him as soon as the company can afford to do so. Stock Option Programs. The purposes of the Company's ESOP and SOP are to provide additional incentives to employees to work to maximize shareholder value. The ESOP is open to all full-time employees of the Company and the SOP is open to 9 participation by key employees and other persons as determined by the Board, based upon a subjective evaluation of the key employee's ability to influence the Company's long-term growth and profitability. Stock options under the ESOP may be granted at the current market price at the time of the grant or under the SOP at prices as determined by the Board. With specific reference to the Chief Executive Officer, the Board attempts to exercise great latitude in setting salary and bonus levels and granting stock options. Philosophically, the Board attempts to relate executive compensation to those variables over which the individual executive generally has control. The Chief Executive Officer has the primary responsibility for improving shareholder value for the whole Company. The Board believes that it's objectives of linking executive compensation to corporate performance results in alignment of compensation with corporate goals and shareholder interest. When performance goals are met or exceeded, shareholders' value is increased and executives are rewarded commensurately. The Board believes that compensation levels during 2001/2002 adequately reflect the Company's compensation goals and policies. In 1993, the Internal Revenue Code was amended to add section 162(m), which generally disallows a tax deduction for compensation paid to a company's senior executive officers in excess of $1 million per person in any year. Excluded from the $1 million limitation is compensation which meets pre-established performance criteria or results from the exercise of stock options which meet certain criteria. While the Company generally intends to qualify payment of compensation under section 162(m), the Company reserves the right to pay compensation to its executives from time to time that may not be tax deductible. The Company will compensate the members of the Board of Directors for each meeting he/she attends, in the amount of $250 cash or equivalent in the form of the Company's Common Stock at the fair market value.

Indemnification The Company's Certificate of Incorporation eliminates or limits the personal financial liability of the Company's directors, except in situations where there has been a breach of the duty of loyalty, failure to act in good faith, intentional misconduct or knowing violation of the law. In addition, the Company's by-laws include provisions to indemnify its officers and directors and other persons against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with threatened, pending or completed suits or proceedings against such persons by reason of serving or having served as officers, directors or in other capacities, except in relation to matters with respect to which such persons shall be determined to have acted not in good faith, unlawfully or not in the best interest of the Company. INSOFAR AS INDEMNIFICATION FOR LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 MAY BE PERMITTED TO DIRECTORS, OFFICERS OR PERSONS CONTROLLING THE COMPANY PURSUANT TO THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS, THE COMPANY HAS BEEN INFORMED 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. 13 Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of equity securities of the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Such persons also are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the Company's knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such forms that were furnished to the Company and representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, the Company's officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders complied with all filing requirements under Section 16(a) applicable to such persons. MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK The Company's Common Stock is traded on the Bulletin Board maintained by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. under the symbol "ICCO." The price range of the Company's Common Stock has varied significantly in the past months ranging from a high bid of $.03 and a low bid of $0.01 per share. The above prices represent inter-dealer quotations without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission, and may not necessarily represent actual transactions. OUTSTANDING SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS The Board of Directors has set the close of business on January 31, 2003 as the record date (the "Record Date") for determining stockholders of the Company entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. As of the record Date, 13,293,403 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding, all of which are entitled to be voted at the meeting. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters to be acted upon at the Meeting, and neither the Company's Certificate of Incorporation nor its Bylaws provides for cumulative voting rights. The attendance, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum. The affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of Common Stock present and voting at the meeting is required for the election of Directors. The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock present and voting at the Meeting is required to pass upon the proposals to ratify and re-approve of the Company's 2001 Joint Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for the 2003 fiscal year and the appointment of the accounting firm of Andrew Smith, CPA as independent certified public accountants. Abstentions and broker non-votes (hereinafter defined) will be counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. For the purpose of determining the vote required for approval of matters to be voted on at the Meeting, shares held by stockholders who abstain from voting will be treated as being "present" and "entitled to vote" on the matter, and, therefore, an abstention has the same legal effect as a vote against the matter. However, in the case of a broker non-vote or where a stockholder withholds authority from his proxy to vote the proxy as to a particular matter, such shares will not be treated as "present" or "entitled to vote" on the matter, and, therefore, a broker non-vote or the withholding of a proxy's authority will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the matter. A "broker non-vote" refers to shares of Common Stock represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy by a broker or nominee where such broker or nominee (1) has not received voting instructions on a particular matter from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (2) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on such matter. As of the Record Date, the directors of the Company owned in the aggregate 5,710,000 shares of Common Stock constituting approximately 42.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Meeting. The directors have advised the Company that they intend to vote all of their shares in favor of each of the proposals to be presented at the Meeting. See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners," "Security Ownership of Management" and 14 "Election of Directors -- Certain Transactions." SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 2002 to the extent known to the Company, certain information regarding the ownership of the Company's Common Stock by (i) each person who is known by the Company to own of record or beneficially more than five percent of the Company's Common Stock, (ii) each of the Company's directors and executive officers and (iii) all directors and executive officers as a group. Except as otherwise indicated, the shareholders listed in the table have sole voting and investment powers with respect to the shares indicated.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE COMPANY'S STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR ELECTION OF THE NOMINEES AS THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR 2003 15 ITEM III. PROPOSAL TO RATIFY THE REAPPOINTMENT OF MR. ANDREW SMITH, CPA AS INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS INFORMATION REGARDING OUR CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT Audit and Audit Related Fees We estimate that the audit fees incurred by us with Mr. Andrew Smith for fiscal 2001 audit services were approximately $5,000. All Other Fees We estimate that all other fees incurred by us with Mr. Andrew Smith for the fiscal year 2002 were $3,500. These other fees consisted of fees for review of our last three quarterly financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. There were no financial systems design and implementation fees incurred by us with Mr. Andrew Smith in fiscal year 2002. The Board wishes to obtain from the stockholders a ratification of the Board's action in reappointing the accounting firm of Andrew Smith, CPA as the Certified Independent Accountants for the fiscal year 2002, and such ratification requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The Board has approved the engagement of Andrew Smith, CPA for audit services. Mr. Andrew Smith, CPA is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will be afforded the opportunity to make a statement if he desires to do so. Mr. Andrew Smith, CPA will also be available to respond to appropriate questions. In the event the appointment of Mr. Andrew Smith, CPA, as independent auditors for fiscal year 2002, is not ratified by the stockholders the adverse vote will be considered as a direction to the Board to select other auditors for the following year. However, because of the difficulty in making any substitution of auditors so long after the beginning of the current year, it is contemplated that the appointment for the fiscal year 2001 will be permitted to stand unless the Board finds other good reason for making a change. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE COMPANY'S STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR RATIFICATION OF THE REAPPOINTMENT OF MR. ANDREW SMITH, CPA AS INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS FOR THE COMPANY FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2002 ITEM IV. PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE COMPANY'S 2003 STOCK OPTION PLAN On December 11th 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company re-adopted the Company's 2001 Joint Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for 2003 fiscal year (the "2003 Plan"). The 2003 Plan will not become effective, however, unless approved by the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present or represented and voting thereon at the Meeting. The text of the 2003 Plan is set forth in Exhibit A hereto. The Company has no other stock option plan. Under the 2003 Plan, options to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock may be granted to key employees of the Company and directors, consultants and other individuals providing services to the Company through July , 2010. Such options may be intended to qualify as "incentive stock options" with respect to employees within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or they may be intended not to qualify under such Section 422 ("non-qualified stock options"). The 2003 Plan will be administered by the Option Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee"). The 2003 Plan allows the Board of Directors of the Company to designate a committee of at least two non-employee directors to 16 administer the 2003 Plan for the purpose of complying with Rule 16b-3(d)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to future grants under the 2003 Plan. The Committee will determine the persons who are to receive options and the number of shares to be subject to each option. In selecting individuals for options and determining the terms thereof, the Committee may consider any factors that it deems relevant, including present and potential contributions to the success of the Company. Because the officers and the employees of the Company who may participate in the 2003 Plan and the amount of their options will be determined on a discretionary basis by the Committee or the full Board of Directors, it is not possible to state the names or positions of, or the number of options that may be granted to, the Company's officers and employees. Options granted under the 2003 Plan must be exercised within a period fixed by the Committee, which may not exceed ten years from the date of grant, or, in the case of incentive stock options granted to a holder of more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, five years from the date of grant of the option. Options may be made exercisable immediately or in installments, as determined by the Committee. Options granted under the 2003 Plan are not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution during the lifetime of the Optionee and may be exercised only by the Optionee. The 2003 Plan provides that, in the case of an incentive stock option, the exercise price of an option may not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant of the option, and, if the Optionee is a holder of more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, the exercise price of an option may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant of the option. The exercise price may be paid in cash, shares of Common Stock owned by the Optionee, or a combination of cash and shares. Stock options granted under the 2003 Plan may include the right to acquire a reload option. If a participant pays all or part of the purchase price of an option with shares of the Company's Common Stock held by the participant for at least six months, then upon exercise of the option, the participant is granted a reload option to purchase, at the fair market value as of the date of grant of the reload option, the number of whole shares used by a participant in the payment of the purchase price. A reload option is not exercisable until the earlier of one year from the date of grant or the first day after the expiration date of the option being exercised. The 2003 Plan provides that in the event of changes in the corporate structure of the Company or certain events affecting the Common Stock, the Board, or the Committee, may, in its discretion, make adjustments with respect to the number or kind of shares that may be issued under the 2003 Plan or that may be covered by outstanding options, or in the exercise price per share, or in the vesting of any options, or any combination of such terms. The 2003 Plan provides that in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation and that results in the holders of the outstanding voting securities of the Company (determined immediately prior to such merger or consolidation) owning less than a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving corporation (determined immediately following such merger or consolidation), any sale or transfer by the Company of all or substantially all of its assets or any tender offer or exchange offer for the acquisition, directly or indirectly, by any person or group of all or a majority of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company, all outstanding options fully vested under the 2003 Plan will become exercisable in full on and after (i) 15 days prior to the effective date of such merger, consolidation, sale, transfer or acquisition or (ii) the date of commencement of such tender offer or exchange offer, as the case may be. In any such situation, the board is authorized to give option holders the right to immediately exercise all of their options, whether fully vested or unvested. For Federal income tax purposes, an Optionee will not recognize any income upon the grant of a non-qualified stock option or an incentive stock option. Upon the exercise of a non-qualified stock option, the Optionee will realize ordinary income equal to the excess (if any) of the fair market value of the shares purchased upon such exercise over the exercise price. The Company will be entitled to a deduction from income in the same amount and at the same 17 time as the Optionee realizes such income. Upon the sale of shares purchased upon such exercise, the Optionee will realize capital gain or loss measured by the difference between the amount realized on the sale and the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise of the option. In contrast, upon the exercise of an incentive stock option, an Optionee will not realize income, and the Company will not be entitled to a deduction relating thereto. However, the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise and the exercise price constitutes an item of tax preference for purposes of the calculating an alternative minimum tax, which, under certain circumstances, could cause tax liability as a result of an exercise. If the Optionee retains the shares issued to him upon exercise of an incentive stock option for more than one year after the date of issuance of such shares and two years after the date of grant of the option, then any gain or loss realized on a subsequent sale of such shares will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss. If, on the other hand, the Optionee sells the shares issued upon exercise within one year after the date of issuance or within two years after the date of grant of the option, then the Optionee will realize ordinary income, and the Company will be entitled to a deduction from income, to the extent of the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise or the amount realized on the sale (whichever is less) over the exercise price. Any excess of the sale price over the fair market value of such shares on the date of exercise will be treated as capital gain. effect or abandon the reverse split. Notwithstanding approval of any of the proposed reverse split ratios by the stockholders, the board may, in its sole discretion, determine to delay the effectiveness of the reverse split up until the next annual meeting of our stockholders. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE COMPANY'S STOCKHOLDERS VOTE TO APPROVE THE 2003 STOCK-OPTION PLAN AS PRESENTED. ITEM V PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT OF OUR AMENDED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO FILE AN AMENDMENT WITH CALIFORNIA SECRETARY OF STATE REGARDING A CORPORATE NAME CHANGE The Board wishes to obtain from the stockholders the authority for the Board to file an amendment to our amended articles of incorporation, to effectuate a corporate name change to any of the following: 1 InterCare DX Corporation 2 InterCare DX, Inc.

Under this Plan, key employees of the Company or any present and future subsidiaries of the Company to be selected as below set forth, may be granted options (the "Options") to purchase shares of the Common Stock, par value, $0.001 per share, of the Company ("Common Stock"). For purposes of this Plan, the term "subsidiary" mean any corporation 50% or more of the voting stock of which is owned by the Company or by a subsidiary (as so defined) of the Company. It is intended that the Options under this Plan will either qualify for treatment as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and be designated "Incentive Stock Options" or not qualify for such treatment and be designated "Non-qualified Stock Options". SECTION 2 - PURPOSE OF PLAN. The purpose of the Plan and of granting -------------------------------- options to specified employees is to further the growth, development and financial success of the Company and its subsidiaries by providing additional incentives to certain key employees holding responsible positions by assisting them to acquire shares of Common Stock and to benefit directly from the Company's growth, development and financial success. SECTION 3 - ELIGIBILITY. The persons who shall be eligible to receive --------------------------- grants of Options under this Plan shall be the directors, officers, key employees and consultants of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. A person who holds an Option is herein referred to as an "Optionee". More than one Option may be granted to any one Optionee, however no Optionee may be granted options to purchase an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock amounting to thirty percent (30%) or more of the total number of shares that may be issued pursuant to this Plan upon the exercise of Options granted hereunder. For Incentive Stock Options, the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the Option is granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionee during any calendar year (under all Incentive Stock Option plans of the Company or any subsidiary which are qualified under Section 422 of the Code) shall not exceed $5,000,000.00 . SECTION 4 -- ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be administered by a ------------------------------- committee (the "Option Committee") to be composed of at least two "disinterested" (as such term is used in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) members of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"). Members of the Option Committee shall be appointed, both initially and as vacancies occur, by the Board, to serve at the pleasure of the Board. The entire Board may serve as the Option Committee, if by the terms of this Plan all Board members are otherwise eligible to serve on the Option Committee. No person may serve as a member of the Option Committee if such person (a) is eligible to receive an Option under the Plan or under any other plan of the Company entitling the participants to acquire Common Stock or stock options of the Company or any of its affiliates (other than plans excepted by Rule 16b-3(c)(2)), or (b) was so eligible at any time within the preceding one-year period. The Option Committee shall meet at such times and places as it determines and may meet through a telephone conference call. A majority of its members shall constitute quorum, and the decision of a majority of those present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall constitute the decision of the Option Committee. A memorandum signed by all of its members shall constitute the decision of the Option Committee without necessity, in such event, for holding an actual meeting. The Option Committee is authorized and empowered to administer the Plan and, subject to the Plan, including the provisions of 20 Section 17, (i) to select the Optionees, to specify the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Options are granted to each Optionee, to specify the Option Price and the terms of the Options, and in general to grant Options; (ii) to determine the dates upon which Options shall be granted and the terms and conditions thereof in a manner consistent with this Plan, which terms and conditions need not be identical as to the various Options granted; (iii) to interpret the Plan; (iv) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules relating to the Plan (v) to accelerate the time during which an Option may be exercised, notwithstanding the provisions of the Option Agreement (as defined in Section 12) stating the time during which it may be exercised; (vi) to accelerate the date by which any unexercised but vested portion of an Option terminates, thereby requiring the Optionee to exercise the vested unexercised portion of such Option or forfeit it, but in no event shall such date be less than two (2) weeks later than the date the Optionee is informed of such acceleration; and (vii) to determine the rights and obligations of participants under the Plan. The interpretation and construction by the Option Committee of any provision of the Plan or of any Option granted under it shall be final. No member of the Option Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan of any Option granted under it. SECTION 5 -- SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN. The aggregate number of shares ----------------------------------------- of Common Stock which may be purchased pursuant to the exercise of Options (whether Incentive Stock Options or Non-qualified Stock Options) granted under the Plan shall not exceed 2,000,000 shares. Upon the expiration or termination for any reason of an outstanding Option which shall not have been exercised in full or upon the repurchase by the Company of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to rights of repurchase, any shares of Common Stock then remaining unissued which shall have been reserved for issuance upon such exercise or which shall have been repurchased shall again become available for the granting of additional Options under the Plan. SECTION 6 -- OPTION PRICE. Expect as provided in Section 11, the purchase -------------------------- price per share (the "Option Price") of the shares of Common Stock underlying each Option shall be not less than the fair market value of such shares on the date of granting of the Option. Such fair market value shall be determined by the Option Committee on the basis of reported closing sales price on such date or, in the absence of reported sales price on such date, on the basis of the average of reported closing bid and asked prices on such date. In the absence of either reported sales price or reported bid and asked prices, the Option Committee shall determine such market value on the basis of the best available evidence. SECTION 7 -- EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. Subject to all other provisions of ------------------------------------- this Plan, each Option shall be exercisable for the full number of shares of Common Stock subject thereto, or any part thereof, in such installments and at such intervals as the Option Committee may determine in granting such Option, provided that (i) each Option shall become fully exercisable no later than five (5) years from the date the Option is granted, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each Option shall become exercisable at the rate of at least 20% per year each year until the Option is fully exercisable, and (iii) no option may be exercisable subsequent to its termination date. Each Option shall terminate and expire, and shall no longer be subject to exercise, as the Option Committee may determine in granting such Option, but in no event later than ten years after the date of grant thereof. The Option shall be exercised by the Optionee by giving written notice to the Company specifying the number of shares to be purchased and accompanied by payment of the full purchase price therefor in cash, by check or in such other form of lawful consideration as the Board may approve from time to time, including, without limitation and in the sole discretion of the Board, the assignment and transfer by the Optionee to the Company of outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock theretofore held by Optionee. SECTION 8 -- ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK. The Company's obligation to issue -------------------------------------- shares of its Common Stock upon exercise of an Option granted under the Plan is expressly conditioned upon the completion by the Company of any registration or other qualification of such shares under any state and/or federal law or ruling 21 or regulations or the making of such investment or other representations and undertakings by the Optionee (or his or her legal representative, heir or legatee, as the case may be) in order to comply with the requirements of any exemption from any such registration or other qualification of such shares which the Company in its sole discretion shall deem necessary or advisable. Such required representations and undertakings may include representations and agreements that such Optionee (or his or her legal representative, heir or legatee): (a) is purchasing such shares for investment and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise disposing thereof; and (b) agrees to have a legend placed upon the face and reverse of any certificates evidencing such shares (or, if applicable, and appropriate data entry made in the ownership records of the Company) setting forth (i) any representations and undertaking which such Optionee and undertaking which such Optionee has given to the Company or a reference thereof, and (ii) that, prior to effecting any sale or other disposition of any such shares, the Optionee must furnish to the Company an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, to the effect that such sale or disposition will not violate the applicable requirements of state and federal laws and regulatory agencies. The Company will make a reasonable good faith effort to comply with such state and/or federal laws, rulings or regulations as may be applicable at the time the Optionee (or his or her legal representative, heir or legatee, as the case may be) wishes to exercise an Option, provided that the Optionee (or his or her legal representative, heir or legatee) also makes a reasonable good faith effort to comply with said laws, rulings and regulations; however, there can be no assurance that either the Company or the Optionee (or his or her legal representative, heir or legatee), each in the respective exercise of their reasonable good faith business judgment, will in fact comply with said laws, ruling and regulations. SECTION 9 -- NONTRANSFERABILITY. No Option shall be assignable or ----------------------------------- transferable, except that an Option may be transferable by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or the rules thereunder, provided such Option explicitly so provides. During the lifetime of an Optionee, any Option granted to him or her shall be exercisable only by him or her. After the death of an Optionee, the Option granted to him (if so transferable) may be exercised, prior to its termination, only by his or her legal representative, his legatee or a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by reason of the death of the Optionee. SECTION 10 -- RECAPITALIZATION, REORGANIZATION, MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- If the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are increased, decreased, or exchanged for different securities through reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, stock dividend or like capital adjustment, a proportionate adjustment shall be made (a) in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased pursuant to the exercised of Options granted under the Plan, as provided in Section 5, and (b) in the number, price, and kind of shares subject to any outstanding Option granted under the Plan.

The function of the Audit Committee is oversight. The management of the Corporation is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Corporation's financial statements, and is responsible for maintaining appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles and policies and internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations.

Review Quarterly Financial Statements. Review, prior to the Corporation's public release of quarterly earnings, with appropriate officers of the Corporation and the outside auditors the quarterly financial statements to be included in the Corporation's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and discuss with the outside auditors their reviews of the Corporation's quarterly financial statements conducted in accordance with Statement on Auditing Standards No. 71, and the matters, if any, required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as may be modified or supplemented.
