Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended (the “NRS”) provides that the Company may indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any action, suit or proceeding brought by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other entity.  The expenses that are subject to this indemnity include attorneys fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the action, suit or proceeding.  In order for the Company to provide this statutory indemnity, the indemnified party must not be liable under NRS section 78.138 or must have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company.  With respect to a criminal action or proceeding, the indemnified party must have had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.


 

NRS section 78.7502 also provides that the Company may indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any action or suit brought by or on behalf of the Company by reason of the fact that he is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other entity against expenses actually or reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he is not liable under NRS section 78.138 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 Company.  The Company may not indemnify a person if the person is judged to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent tha t the court in which such action or suit was brought or another court of competent jurisdiction shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity.


 

NRS section 78.7502 requires the Company to indemnify present and former directors or officers against expenses if he has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter.


As permitted by Nevada law, the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles”), contains an article limiting the personal liability of directors, officers or stockholders of the Company.  Article Eight of the Company’s Articles provides that a director, officer or stockholder of the Company shall not be personally liable for any damages from any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, officer or stockholder, except for liability based on acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law or the payment of dividends in violation of NRS section 78.300.  


Article VI of the Company’s Bylaws provides that the Company shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that such person was a director, officer or other agent of the Company




3





against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding if that person acted in good faith and in a manner that the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of that person was unlawful.  Further, the Company shall also have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party to any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or other agent of the Company against expenses actually or reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of that action, if such person acted in good faith, in a manner such person believed to be i n the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Undertakings.


(a)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement (1) 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 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; 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 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 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 pre cedent, 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


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 Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on this 18th day of February, 2005.

EX-4 2 ex41.htm 2005 NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN Filed by Filing Services Canada Inc. 403 717-3898

CYOP SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL INC.

2005 NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN


1.

Purpose. This 2005 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") is intended to promote the financial success and interests of CYOP Systems International Inc. (the "Company") and materially increase shareholder value by giving incentives to the eligible officers and other employees and directors of and consultants and advisors to the Company, its parent (if any) and any present or future subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, "Related Corporations") through providing opportunities to acquire stock in the Company.  As used herein, the terms "parent" and "subsidiary" mean "parent corporation" and "subsidiary corporation", respectively, as those terms are defined in Sections 424(e) and 424(f) or successor provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended from time to time (the "Code").


2.

Structure of the Plan. The Plan permits the following separate types of grant:


A.

Options may be granted hereunder to purchase shares of common stock of the Company. These options will not qualify as Incentive Stock Options. The Non-Qualified Options are sometimes referred to hereinafter as "Options".


B.

Awards of stock in the Company ("Awards") may be granted.


C.

Opportunities to make direct purchases of stock in the Company ("Purchases") may be authorized.


Options, Awards and authorizations to make Purchases are sometimes referred to hereinafter as "Stock Rights".


3.

Administration of the Plan.


A.

The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"). The Board may in its sole discretion grant Options, authorize Purchases and grant Awards, as provided in the Plan. The Board shall have full power and authority, subject to the express provisions of the Plan, to construe and interpret the Plan and all Option agreements, Purchase authorizations and Award grants thereunder, to establish, amend and rescind such rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan, to determine in each case the terms and provisions which shall apply to a particular Option agreement, Purchase authorization, or Award grant, and to make all other determinations which are, in the Board's judgment, necessary or desirable for the proper administration of the Plan. The Board may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Option agreement, Purchase authorization or Award grant in the manner and to the extent it shall, in its sole discretion, consider expedient. Decisions of the Board shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the Plan or any Option, Purchase, Award, or stock issuance thereunder. No director or person acting pursuant to authority delegated by the Board shall be liable for any action or determination under the Plan made in good faith.


B.

The Board may, to the full extent permitted by and consistent with applicable law and the Company's By-laws, and subject to Subparagraph D hereinbelow, delegate any or all of its powers with respect to the administration of the Plan to a committee (the



Page 1





"Committee") appointed by the Board. If a Committee has been appointed, all references in this Plan to the Board shall mean and relate to that Committee.


C.

Those provisions of this Plan which make express reference to Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or any successor rule ("Rule 16b-3"), or which are required in order for certain option transactions to qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3, shall apply only to those persons required to file reports under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act (a "Reporting Person").


D.

If the Company registers any class of equity security under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the selection of a director or an officer (as the terms "director" and "officer" are defined for purposes of Rule 16b-3) as a recipient of an option, the timing of the option grant, the exercise price of the option and the number of shares subject to the option shall be determined either (i) by the Board, if all of the Board members are disinterested persons within the meaning of Rule 16(b)(3), or (ii) by two or more directors having full authority to act in the matter, each of whom shall be such a disinterested person.


4.

Eligible Employees and Others. Non-Qualified Options, Awards, and authorizations to make Purchases may be granted to any employee, officer or director of, or consultant or advisor to the Company or any Related Corporation, except for instances where services are in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction, or they directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company's securities. In making such determinations, the Board and/or the Committee may take into account the nature of the services rendered by such person, his or her present and potential contribution to the Company's success, and such other factors as the Company and/or Committee in its discretion shall deem relevant. The granting of any Stock Right to any individual or entity shall neither entitle that individual or entity to, nor disqualify him from, participation in any other grant of Stock Rights.


5.

Stock. The stock subject to Options, Awards and Purchases shall be authorized but unissued shares of common stock of the Company ("Common Stock"), or shares of Common Stock reacquired by the Company in any manner. The aggregate number of shares which may be issued under the Plan is Forty Million (40,000,000), subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 13. If any Option granted under the Plan shall expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full or shall cease for any reason to be exercisable in whole or in part, or if the Company shall reacquire any nonvested shares issued pursuant to Awards or Purchases, the unpurchased shares subject to such Option, or such nonvested shares so reacquired shall again be available for grants of Stock Rights under the Plan. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued, and the Board and/or Committee shall determine the m anner in which fractional share value shall be treated.           


6.

Option Agreements. As a condition to the grant of an Option, each recipient of an Option shall execute an option agreement in such form not inconsistent with the Plan as the Board shall approve. These option agreements may differ among recipients. The Board may, in its sole discretion, include additional provisions in option agreements, including without limitation restrictions on transfer, repurchase rights, commitments to pay cash bonuses, to make, arrange for or guarantee loans or to transfer other property to optionees upon exercise of options, or such other provisions as shall be determined by the Board; provided, however, that such additional provisions shall not be inconsistent with any provision of the Plan.




Page 2





7.

Option Exercise Price.


A.

Subject to Subparagraph 3D of this Plan and Subparagraph B of this Paragraph 7, the purchase price per share of Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of an Option ("exercise price") shall be determined by the Board.


B.

The exercise price of each Non-Qualified Option granted under the Plan shall in no event be less than the par value per share of the Company's Common Stock.


8.

Cancellation and New Grant of Options, Etc. The Board shall have the authority to effect, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the affected optionees, the cancellation of any or all outstanding Options and the grant in substitution therefor of new Options covering the same or different shares of Common Stock and having an exercise price per share which may be lower or higher than the exercise price per share of the canceled Options.


9.

Exercise of Options.


A.

Each Option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable either in full or in installments at such time or times and during such period as shall be set forth in the agreement evidencing the Option, subject to the provisions of the Plan. The partial exercise of an option shall not cause the expiration, termination or cancellation of the remaining portion thereof. The Board may, in its sole discretion, (i) accelerate the date or dates on which all or any particular Option or Options granted under the Plan may be exercised or (ii) extend the dates during which all, or any particular, Option or Options granted under the Plan may be exercised.

 

B.

Options granted under the Plan may provide for payment of the exercise price by any of the following methods:


(i)

In cash, by wire transfer, by certified or cashier's check, or by money order; or


(ii)

By delivery to the Company of an exercise notice that requests the Company to issue to the Optionee the full number of shares as to which the Option is then exercisable, less the number of shares that have an aggregate Fair Market Value, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion at the time of exercise, equal to the aggregate purchase price of the shares to which such exercise relates. (This method of exercise allows the Optionee to use a portion of the shares issuable at the time of exercise as payment for the shares to which the option relates and is often referred to as a "cashless exercise." For example, if the Optionee elects to exercise 1,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.25 and the current Fair Market Value of the shares on the date of exercise is $1.00, the Optionee can use 250 of the 1,000 shares at $1.00 per share to pay for the exercise of the entire Option (250 x $1. 00 = $250.00) and receive only the remaining 750 shares.)


For purposes of this section, " Fair Market Value" shall be defined as the average closing price of the common stock (if actual sales price information on any trading day is not available, the closing bid price shall be used) for the five trading days prior to the Date of Exercise of this



Page 3





Option (the "Average Closing Bid Price"), as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ"), or if the common stock is not traded on NASDAQ, the Average Closing Bid Price in the over-the-counter market; provided, however, that if the common stock is listed on a stock exchange, the Fair Market Value shall be the Average Closing Bid Price on such exchange; and, provided further, that if the common stock is not quoted or listed by any organization, the fair value of the common stock, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive, shall be used). In no event shall the Fair Market Value of any share of Common Stock be less than its par value.


10.

Option Period. Subject to earlier termination under other provisions of this Plan, each Option and all rights thereunder shall expire on such date as shall be set forth in the applicable option agreement.


11.

Nontransferability of Options. Options shall not be assignable or transferable by the optionee, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the life of theoptionee, shall be exercisable only by the optionee.


12.

Effect of Termination of Employment or Other Relationship. Subject to all other provisions of the Plan, the Board shall determine the period of time during which an Optionee may exercise an Option following (i) the termination of the optionee's employment or other relationship with the Company or a Related Corporation or (ii) the death or disability of the optionee. Such periods shall be set forth in the agreement evidencing the Option.


13.

Adjustments.


A.

If, through or as a result of any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction, (i) the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased, decreased or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company, or (ii) additional shares or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such shares of Common Stock or other securities, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made in (a) the maximum number and kind of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, (b) the number and kind of shares or other securities subject to any then outstanding Options under the Plan, and (c) the price for each share subject to any then outstanding Options under the Plan, without changing the aggregate purchase price as to which such Options remain exercisable. No fractional shares shall be issued under the Plan on account of any such adjustments.


B.

Any adjustments under this Paragraph 13 shall be made by the Board of Directors, whose determination as to what adjustments, if any, will be made and the extent thereof shall be final, binding and conclusive.           


14.

Rights as a Shareholder. The holder of an Option shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by the option (including, without limitation, any voting rights, the right to inspect or receive the Company's balance sheets or financial statements or any rights to receive dividends or non-cash distributions with respect to such shares) until the date of issue of a stock certificate for such shares. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued.




Page 4





15.

Merger, Consolidation, Asset Sale, Liquidation, Etc.


A.

Except as may otherwise be provided in the applicable option agreement, in the event of a consolidation or merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in which outstanding shares of Common Stock are exchanged for securities, cash or other property of any other corporation or business entity, or in the event of the liquidation of the Company (each, a "Change in Control"), the Board, or the board of directors of any corporation assuming the obligations of the Company, shall, in its discretion, take any one or more of the following actions, as to outstanding Options: (i) provide that such Options shall be assumed, or equivalent options shall be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof); (ii) upon written notice to the Optionees, provide that any and all outstanding Options shall become exercisable in full (to the extent not otherwis e so exercisable) as of a specified date or time ("Accelerated Vesting Date") prior to the consummation of such transaction, and that all unexercised Options shall terminate as of a specified date or time ("Accelerated Expiration Date") following the Accelerated Vesting Date unless exercised by the Optionee prior to the Accelerated Expiration Date; provided, however, that the Optionees shall be given a reasonable period of time within which to exercise or provide for the exercise of outstanding Options following such written notice and before the Accelerated Expiration Date; (iii) in the event of a merger under the terms of which holders of the Common Stock of the Company will receive upon consummation thereof a cash payment for each share surrendered in the merger (the "Merger Price"), terminate each outstanding Option in exchange for a payment, made or provided for by the Company, equal in amount to the excess, if any, of the Merger Price over the per-share exercise price of e ach such Option, times the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Option; or (iv) terminate each outstanding Option in exchange for a cash payment equal in amount to the product of the excess, if any, of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock over the per-share exercise price of each such Option, times the number of shares subject to such Option. The Board shall determine the fair market value of a share of Common Stock for purposes of the foregoing, and the Board's determination of such fair market value shall be final, binding and conclusive.


B.

In the event of a Change in Control and to the extent the rights described in this Section 15B are not already substantially provided to each Qualified Option Recipient by the Board (or the board of directors of any corporation assuming the obligations of the Company) pursuant to Section 16A, beginning on the date which is 180 days from the date of such Change in Control, each Qualified Option Recipient (as defined below) shall have the right to exercise and receive from the Company or its successor their respective Acceleration Amount (as defined below). A "Qualified Option Recipient" is defined as an option recipient hereunder who both (A) has maintained a relationship as an employee, officer or director of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company or its successor for the 180 days immediately prior to the Change in Control and (B) on the date which is 180 days after the date of the Change in C ontrol, either (i) maintains a relationship as an employee, officer or director of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company or its successor or (ii) fails to maintain a relationship as an employee, officer or director of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company or its successor by reason of having such relationship terminated by the Company or its successor other than for Cause, where "Cause" means willful misconduct or willful failure of the option recipient to perform the responsibilities of such option recipient's agreed-upon business relationship with the Company or its



Page 5





successor, including without limitation such option recipient's breach of any provision of any employment, consulting, nondisclosure, non-competition or similar agreement between the option recipient and the Company. With respect to each Qualified Option Recipient, the "Acceleration Amount" shall mean the lesser of (a) the number of additional shares of Common Stock (or their equivalent) which would have become vested pursuant to their option agreement over the twelve (12) month period following the date of the Change in Control or (b) fifty percent (50%) of the shares of Common Stock (or their equivalent) which had not yet vested pursuant to their option agreement as of the date of the Change in Control. The Board and, where applicable, the board of directors of any corporation assuming the obligations of the Company, shall take all necessary action to accomplish the purposes of this Section 15B, including all such actions as are necessary to provide for the assumption of such obligation upon the Change in Control.



C.

The Company may grant Options under the Plan in substitution for Options held by employees of another corporation who become employees of the Company or a Related Corporation as the result of a merger or consolidation of the employing corporation with the Company or a Related Corporation, or as a result of the acquisition by the Company or a Related Corporation of property or stock of the employing corporation. The Company may direct that substitute Options be granted on such terms and conditions as the Board considers appropriate in the circumstances.


D.

In the event of a Change in Control and with respect thereto, the rights and responsibilities of holders of Stock Rights pursuant to this Plan shall be governed first and foremost by the Company's agreement with the respective recipient of such Stock Rights and then, to the extent applicable, by the terms of this Section 15.


16.

Stock Restriction Agreement. As a condition to the grant of an Award or a Purchase authorization under the Plan, the recipient of the Award or Purchase authorization shall execute an agreement ("Stock Restriction Agreement") in such form not inconsistent with the Plan as may be approved by the Board. Stock Restriction Agreements may differ among recipients. Stock Restriction Agreements may include any provisions the Board determines should be included and that are not inconsistent with any provision of the Plan.


17.

No Special Employment Rights. Nothing contained in the Plan or in any option agreement or other agreement or instrument executed pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to the continuation of his or her employment by the Company or any Related Corporation or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or a Related Corporation at any time to terminate such employment or to increase or decrease the compensation of the Optionee.


18.

Amendment of the Plan.


A.

The Board may at any time, and from time to time, modify or amend the Plan in any respect.


B.

The termination or any modification or amendment of the Plan shall not, without the consent of an Optionee, affect the Optionee's rights under an Option previously granted. With the consent of the Optionee affected, the Board may amend outstanding option agreements in a manner not inconsistent with the Plan. The Board shall have the right to amend or modify (i) the terms and provisions of the Plan and of any outstanding Option, and (ii) the terms and provisions of the Plan and of any outstanding Option to the extent necessary to ensure the qualification of the Plan under Rule 16b-3.

21.

Compliance With Securities Laws. Each Option shall be subject to the requirement that if, at any time, counsel to the Company shall determine that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares subject to such Option upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental or regulatory body, or that the disclosure of non-public information or the satisfaction of any other condition is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance or purchase of shares thereunder, such Option may not be exercised, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval, or satisfaction of such condition shall have been effected or obtained on conditions acceptable to the Board. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Company to apply for or to obtain such listing, registration or qualification, or to satisfy such condition.


22.

Withholding. The Company shall have the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to the Optionee any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to any shares issued upon exercise of Options under the Plan or upon the grant of an Award, the making of a Purchase of Common Stock for less than its fair market value, the making of a Disqualifying Disposition (as defined in Paragraph 24), or the vesting of restricted Common Stock acquired pursuant to a Stock Right. The Board in its sole discretion may condition the exercise of an Option, the grant of an Award, the making of a Purchase, or the vesting of restricted shares acquired by exercising a Stock Right on the grantee's payment of such additional withholding taxes.


23.

         Re:    Form S-8 Registration Statement


                  

Ladies and Gentlemen:


            I have acted as counsel for CYOP Systems International Incorporated, a Nevada corporation (the "Corporation"), in connection with the referenced Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") being filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and covering 45,000,000 shares of the Corporation's Common Stock, $0.00002 par value ("Common Stock"), that may be issued pursuant to the Corporation’s 2005 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”) and pursuant to the Consulting Agreement dated February 17, 2005 with John T. Novak (the “Consulting Agreement”).  This Opinion Letter is rendered pursuant to Item 8 of Form S-8 and Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K.


            I have examined the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended, the Bylaws of the Corporation, as amended, records of proceedings of the Board of Directors of the Corporation deemed by me to be relevant to this opinion letter and which were furnished by the Corporation, the Registration Statement and other documents and agreements I deemed necessary for purposes of expressing the opinion set forth herein.  I also have made such further legal and factual examinations and investigations as I deemed necessary for purposes of expressing the opinion set forth herein.


            As to certain factual matters relevant to this opinion letter, I have relied upon certificates and statements of officers of the Corporation and certificates of public officials.  I have made no independent investigation with regard thereto, and, accordingly, I do not express any opinion as to matters that might have been disclosed by independent verification.


            This opinion letter is provided to the Corporation and the Commission for their use solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Registration Statement and may not be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose without my

express written consent.  The only opinion rendered by me consists of those matters set forth in the sixth paragraph hereof, and no opinion may be implied or inferred beyond those expressly stated.


            I am admitted to practice law in the State of Texas, and render this opinion only with respect to, and express no opinion herein concerning the application or effect of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the existing laws of the United States of America, of the State of Texas and, with respect to the validity of corporate action and the requirements for the issuance of the Common Stock, of the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada, Nevada Revised Statutes, Chapter 78.


            Based on the foregoing, it is my opinion that the 45,000,000 shares of Common Stock covered by the Registration Statement and to be issued pursuant to the Stock Option Plan and the Consulting







Agreement, when issued in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Consulting Agreement, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.


            I consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of my name wherever appearing in the Registration Statement.  In giving such consent, I do not thereby admit that I am within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.


                                             Sincerely,
