Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this prospectus. ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES. The Company is authorized to issue 750,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001. As of February 9, 2006, there are 14,153,722 common shares outstanding. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the common stock are entitled to share ratably in all net assets available for distribution to common stockholders after payment to creditors. The common stock is not convertible or redeemable and has no preemptive, subscription or conversion rights. Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. There are no cumulative voting rights. The holders of outstanding shares of common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available therefore at such times and in such amounts as the Company's board of directors may from time to time determine. Holders of common stock will share equally on a per share basis in any dividend declared by the board of directors. The Company has not paid any dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on such stock in the foreseeable future. In the event of a merger or consolidation, all holders of common stock will be entitled to receive the same per share consideration. ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL The validity of the securities being registered will be passed upon by Diane D. Dalmy, Esq., General Counsel to the Company, 8965 W. Cornell Place, Lakewood, Colorado 80227. None of the experts named in the Registration Statement as having prepared or certified a report or counsel for the Company named in the Registration Statement as having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration of offering of such securities have or will receive in connection with the offering a substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the Company or its subsidiary, if any, nor was connected with the Company or its subsidiary, if any, as a promoter, managing underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer or employee. ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes contains provisions for indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company. Nevada law provides for indemnification (which may eliminate any personal liability of a director to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for gross negligence or lack of care in carrying out the director's fiduciary duties) if a director or officer acts in good faith in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company. A director or officer may be indemnified as to any matter in which he successfully defends himself. The officers and directors of the Company are accountable to the shareholders of the Company as fiduciaries, which means such officers and directors are required to exercise good faith and integrity in handling the Company's affairs. A shareholder may be able to institute legal action on behalf of himself and all other similarly situated shareholders to recover damages where the Company has failed or refused to observe the law. Shareholders may, subject to applicable rules of civil procedure, be able to bring a class action or derivative suit to enforce their rights, including rights under certain federal and state securities laws and regulations. Shareholders who have suffered losses in connection with the purchase or sale of their interest in the Company due to a breach of a fiduciary duty by an officer or director of the Company in connection with such sale or purchase including, but not limited to, the misapplication by any such officer or director of the proceeds from the sale of any securities, may be able to recover such losses from the Company. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense or any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The Company has no agreements with any of its directors or executive officers providing for indemnification of any such persons with respect to liability arising out of their capacity or status as officers and directors. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director or executive officers of the Company as to which indemnification is being sought. ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED. In the event certain Stock Options issued under the Stock Option Plan are not registered pursuant to this Registration Statement, the shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to an exercise of such Stock Option shall be issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, contained in Section 4(2) thereof, covering transactions not involving any public offering or not involving any "offer" or "sale". In such event, each optionee, as a condition of exercise, shall represent, warrant and agree in a form of written certificate approved by the Company that (i) all shares of Common Stock are being acquired solely for his own account and not on behalf of any other person or entity; (ii) no shares of Common Stock will be sold or otherwise distributed in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any other applicable federal or state securities laws; (iii) if he is subject to reporting requirements under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, he will (a) furnish the Company with a copy of each Form 4 filed by him and (b) timely file all reports required under the federal securities laws; and (iv) he will report all sales of shares of Common Stock to the Company in writing. ITEM 8. EXHIBITS The following documents are filed as exhibits to this Registration Statement: 5.1 Opinion of Diane D. Dalmy, as counsel to the Company, regarding the legality of the securities being registered. 23.1 Consent of Diane D. Dalmy, as counsel to the Company, included in the Opinion as exhibit 5.1. 23.2 Consent of Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton LaBonte as independent public accountants. 99.1 2005 Stock Option Plan. ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus to each employee to whom the prospectus is sent or given a copy of the registrant's annual report to stockholders for its last fiscal year, unless such employee otherwise has received a copy of such report, in which case the registrant shall state in the prospectus that it will promptly furnish, without charge, a copy of such report on written request of the employee. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to transmit or cause to be transmitted to all employees participating in the plan who do not otherwise receive such material as stockholders of the registrant, at the time and in the manner such material is sent to its stockholders, copies of all reports, proxy statements and other communications distributed to its stockholders generally. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes (i) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement, if applicable, 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; (ii) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 (iii) 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. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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. 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 or 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. 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 Vancouver, Province of British Columbia, Canada on this 9th day of February, 2006.

An Option may be exercised only for whole shares and may not be exercised for less than a reasonable number of shares at any one time, as determined by the Plan Administrator. -7- 7.5 PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE The exercise price for shares purchased under an Option shall be paid in full to the Company by delivery of consideration equal to the product of the Option exercise price and the number of shares purchased. Such consideration must be in accordance with the requirements of the Chapter 78 of the NEVADA REVISED STATUTES and the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, must be paid before the Company will issue the shares being purchased and must be in a form or a combination of forms acceptable to the Plan Administrator for that purchase. As set forth in Article 6.2 hereinabove, any Option settlement, including payment deferrals or payments deemed made by way of the settlement of pre-existing indebtedness from the Company, may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Plan Administrator shall determine. 7.6 POST-TERMINATION EXERCISES The Plan Administrator shall establish and set forth in each instrument that evidences an Option whether the Option shall continue to be exercisable, and the terms and conditions of such exercise, if the Participant ceases to be employed by, or to provide services to, the Company or a Related Company, which provisions may be waived or modified by the Plan Administrator at any time. If not so established in the instrument evidencing the Option, the Option shall be exercisable according to the following terms and conditions, which may be waived or modified by the Plan Administrator at any time: (a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Article 7.6 hereinbelow, any portion of an Option that is not vested and exercisable on the Employment Termination Date shall expire on such date. (b) Any portion of an Option that is vested and exercisable on the Employment Termination Date shall expire on the earliest to occur of: (i) if the Participant's Employment Termination Date occurs for reasons other than Cause, Retirement, Disability or death, the day which is three months after such Employment Termination Date; (ii) if the Participant's Employment Termination Date occurs by reason of Retirement, Disability or death, the one-year anniversary of such Employment Termination Date; and (iii) the last day of the Option Term (the "OPTION EXPIRATION DATE"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant dies after his or her Employment Termination Date but while an Option is otherwise exercisable, the portion of the Option that is vested and exercisable on such Employment Termination Date shall expire upon the earlier to occur of (c) the Option Expiration Date and (d) the one-year anniversary of the date of death, unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise. -8- Also notwithstanding the foregoing, in case of termination of the Participant's employment or service relationship for Cause, all Options granted to that Participant shall automatically expire upon first notification to the Participant of such termination, unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise. If a Participant's employment or service relationship with the Company is suspended pending an investigation of whether the Participant shall be terminated for Cause, all the Participant's rights under any Option shall likewise be suspended during the period of investigation. If any facts that would constitute termination for Cause are discovered after the Participant's relationship with the Company or a Related Company has ended, any Option then held by the Participant may be immediately terminated by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion. (c) A Participant's transfer of employment or service relationship between or among the Company and any Related Company, or a change in status from an employee to a consultant, agent, advisor or independent contractor or a change in status from a consultant, agent, advisor or independent contractor to an employee, shall not be considered a termination of employment or service relationship for purposes of this Article 7. Unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise, a termination of employment or service relationship shall be deemed to occur if a Participant's employment or service relationship is with an entity that has ceased to be a Related Company. (d) The effect of a Company-approved leave of absence on the application of this Article 7 shall be determined by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion. (e) If a Participant's employment or service relationship with the Company or a Related Company terminates by reason of Disability or death, the Option shall become fully vested and exercisable for all the shares subject to the Option. Such Option shall remain exercisable for the time period set forth in this Article 7.6. ARTICLE 8. INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION LIMITATIONS Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, and to the extent required by Section 422 of the Code, Incentive Stock Options shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions: 8.1 DOLLAR LIMITATION To the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Grant Date) of Common Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time during any calendar year (under the Plan and all other 2005 Stock Option Plans of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such portion in excess of $100,000 shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option. In the event the Participant holds two or more such Options that become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year, such limitation shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such Options are granted. -9- 8.2 ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES Individuals who are not employees of the Company or one of its parent corporations or subsidiary corporations may not be granted Incentive Stock Options. 8.3 EXERCISE PRICE The exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option shall be at least 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares on the Grant Date, and in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of the stock of the Company or of its parent or subsidiary corporations (a "TEN PERCENT STOCKHOLDER"), shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares on the Grant Date. The determination of more than 10% ownership shall be made in accordance with Section 422 of the Code. 8.4 EXERCISABILITY An Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option shall cease to qualify for favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Stock Option to the extent it is exercised (if permitted by the terms of the Option): (a) more than three months after the Employment Termination Date if termination was for reasons other than death or disability; (b) more than one year after the Employment Termination Date if termination was by reason of disability; or (c) after the Participant has been on leave of absence for more than three months, unless the Participant's reemployment rights are guaranteed by statute or contract. 8.5 TAXATION OF INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS In order to obtain certain tax benefits afforded to Incentive Stock Options under Section 422 of the Code, the Participant must hold the shares acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option for two years after the Grant Date and one year after the date of exercise. A Participant may be subject to the alternative minimum tax at the time of exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. The Participant shall give the Company prompt notice of any disposition of shares acquired on the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option prior to the expiration of such holding periods. 8.6 CODE DEFINITIONS For the purposes of this Article 8, "PARENT CORPORATION", "SUBSIDIARY CORPORATION" and "DISABILITY" shall have the meanings attributed to those terms for purposes of Section 422 of the Code. -10- ARTICLE 9. WITHHOLDING 9.1 GENERAL The Company may require the Participant to pay to the Company the amount of any taxes that the Company is required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law to withhold with respect to the grant, vesting or exercise of an Option. The Company shall not be required to issue any shares Common Shares under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied. 9.2 PAYMENT OF WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS IN CASH OR SHARES The Plan Administrator may permit or require a Participant to satisfy all or part of his or her tax withholding obligations by: (a) paying cash to the Company; (b) having the Company withhold from any cash amounts otherwise due or to become due from the Company to the Participant; (c) having the Company withhold a portion of any Common Shares that would otherwise be issued to the Participant having a value equal to the tax withholding obligations (up to the employer's minimum required tax withholding rate); or (d) surrendering any Common Shares that the Participant previously acquired having a value equal to the tax withholding obligations (up to the employer's minimum required tax withholding rate to the extent the Participant has held the surrendered shares for less than six months). ARTICLE 10. ASSIGNABILITY Neither an Option nor any interest therein may be assigned, pledged or transferred by the Participant or made subject to attachment or similar proceedings other than by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution, and, during the Participant's lifetime, such Options may be exercised only by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by Section 422 of the Code, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may permit a Participant to assign or transfer an Option or may permit a Participant to designate a beneficiary who may exercise the Option or receive payment under the Option after the Participant's death; provided, however, that any Option so assigned or transferred shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan and those contained in the instrument evidencing the Option. -11- ARTICLE 11. ADJUSTMENTS 11.1 ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES In the event, at any time or from time to time, a stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, distribution to stockholders other than a normal cash dividend, or other change in the Company's corporate or capital structure, including, without limitation, a Related Party Transaction, results in (a) the outstanding Common Shares, or any securities exchanged therefor or received in their place, being exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the Company or of any other corporation or (b) new, different or additional securities of the Company or of any other corporation being received by the holders of Common Shares of the Company, then the Plan Administrator shall make proportional adjustments in (i) the maximum number and kind of securities subject to the Plan and issuable as Incentive Stock Options as set forth in Article 4 hereinabove and the maximum number and kind of securities that may be made subject to Options and to Options to any individual as set forth in Article 4.3 hereinbelow, and (ii) the number and kind of securities that are subject to any outstanding award and the per share price of such securities, without any change in the aggregate price to be paid therefor. The determination by the Plan Administrator as to the terms of any of the foregoing adjustments shall be conclusive and binding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a dissolution or liquidation of the Company or a Corporate Transaction shall not be governed by this Article 11.1 but shall be governed by Articles 11.2 and 11.3, respectively, hereinbelow. 11.2 DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION To the extent not previously exercised or settled, and unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion, Options shall terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company. To the extent a forfeiture provision or repurchase right applicable to an Option has not been waived by the Plan Administrator, the Option shall be forfeited immediately prior to the consummation of the dissolution or liquidation. 11.3 CORPORATE TRANSACTION (a) In the event of a Corporate Transaction, except as otherwise provided in the instrument evidencing an Option (or in a written employment or services agreement between a Participant and the Company or Related Company) and except as provided in subsection (b) hereinbelow, each outstanding Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the surviving corporation, the successor corporation or its parent corporation, as applicable (the "SUCCESSOR Corporation"). (b) If, in connection with a Corporate Transaction, the Successor Corporation refuses to assume or substitute for an Option, then each such outstanding Option shall become fully vested and exercisable with respect to 100% of the unvested portion of the Option. In such case, the Plan Administrator shall notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the unvested portion of the Option specified above shall be fully vested and exercisable for a specified time period. At the expiration of the time period, the Option shall terminate, provided that the Corporate Transaction has occurred. -12- (c) For the purposes of this Article 11.3, the Option shall be considered assumed or substituted for if following the Corporate Transaction the option or right confers the right to purchase or receive, for each share of Common Shares subject to the Option immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Corporate Transaction by holders of Common Shares for each share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Corporate Transaction is not solely Common Shares of the Successor Corporation, the Plan Administrator may, with the consent of the Successor Corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option, for each share of Common Shares subject thereto, to be solely Common Shares of the Successor Corporation substantially equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Shares in the Corporate Transaction. The determination of such substantial equality of value of consideration shall be made by the Plan Administrator and its determination shall be conclusive and binding. (d) All Options shall terminate and cease to remain outstanding immediately following the Corporate Transaction, except to the extent assumed by the Successor Corporation. 11.4 FURTHER ADJUSTMENT OF OPTIONS Subject to Articles 11.2 and 11.3 hereinabove, the Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable at any time before a sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or change of control of the Company, as defined by the Plan Administrator, to take such further action as it determines to be necessary or advisable, and fair and equitable to the Participants, with respect to Options. Such authorized action may include (but shall not be limited to) establishing, amending or waiving the type, terms, conditions or duration of, or restrictions on, Options so as to provide for earlier, later, extended or additional time for exercise, lifting restrictions and other modifications, and the Plan Administrator may take such actions with respect to all Participants, to certain categories of Participants or only to individual Participants. The Plan Administrator may take such action before or after granting Options to which the action relates and before or after any public announcement with respect to such sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or change of control that is the reason for such action. 11.5 LIMITATIONS The grant of Options shall in no way affect the Company's right to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. -13- 11.6 FRACTIONAL SHARES In the event of any adjustment in the number of shares covered by any Option, each such Option shall cover only the number of full shares resulting from such adjustment. ARTICLE 12. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 12.1 AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN The Board may suspend, amend or terminate the Plan or any portion of the Plan at any time and in such respects as it shall deem advisable; provided, however, and only if applicable, that to the extent required for compliance with Section 422 of the Code or any applicable law or regulation only, stockholder approval shall be required for any amendment that would: (a) increase the total number of shares available for issuance under the Plan; (b) modify the class of employees eligible to receive Options; or (c) otherwise require stockholder approval under any applicable law or regulation. Any amendment made to the Plan that would constitute a "MODIFICATION" to Incentive Stock Options outstanding on the date of such amendment shall not, without the consent of the Participant, be applicable to such outstanding Incentive Stock Options but shall have prospective effect only. 12.2 TERM OF PLAN Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, the Plan shall terminate TEN YEARS after the earlier of the Plan's adoption by the Board and approval by the stockholders. 12.3 CONSENT OF PARTICIPANT The suspension, amendment or termination of the Plan or a portion thereof or the amendment of an outstanding Option shall not, without the Participant's consent, materially adversely affect any rights under any Option theretofore granted to the Participant under the Plan. Any change or adjustment to an outstanding Incentive Stock Option shall not, without the consent of the Participant, be made in a manner so as to constitute a "MODIFICATION" that would cause such Incentive Stock Option to fail to continue to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments made pursuant to this Article 12 shall not be subject to these restrictions. -14- ARTICLE 13. GENERAL 13.1 EVIDENCE OF OPTIONS Options granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written instrument that shall contain such terms, conditions, limitations and restrictions as the Plan Administrator shall deem advisable and that are not inconsistent with the Plan. 13.2 NO INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS Nothing in the Plan or any Option granted under the Plan shall be deemed to constitute an employment contract or confer or be deemed to confer on any Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or to continue any other relationship with, the Company or any Related Company or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Related Company to terminate a Participant's employment or other relationship at any time, with or without Cause. 13.3 ISSUANCE OF SHARES Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver any Common Shares under the Plan or make any other distribution of benefits under the Plan unless, in the opinion of the Company's counsel, such issuance, delivery or distribution would comply with all applicable laws (including, without limitation, the requirements of the Securities Act), and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity. The Company shall be under no obligation to any Participant to register for offering or resale or to qualify for exemption under the Securities Act, or to register or qualify under state securities laws, any Common Shares, security or interest in a security paid or issued under, or created by, the Plan, or to continue in effect any such registrations or qualifications if made. The Company may issue certificates for shares with such legends and subject to such restrictions on transfer and stop-transfer instructions as counsel for the Company deems necessary or desirable for compliance by the Company with federal and state securities laws. To the extent the Plan or any instrument evidencing an Option provides for issuance of stock certificates to reflect the issuance of Common Shares, the issuance may be effected on a noncertificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of any stock exchange. 13.4 NO RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER No Option or Stock Option denominated in units shall entitle the Participant to any cash dividend, voting or other right of a stockholder unless and until the date of issuance under the Plan of the shares that are the subject of such Option. 13.5 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may bifurcate the Plan so as to restrict, limit or condition the use of any provision of the Plan to Participants who are officers or directors subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act without so restricting, limiting or conditioning the Plan with respect to other Participants. Additionally, in interpreting and applying the provisions of the Plan, any Option granted as an Incentive Stock Option pursuant to the Plan shall, to the extent permitted by law, be construed as an "INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. -15- 13.6 PARTICIPANTS IN OTHER COUNTRIES The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to adopt such modifications, procedures and subplans as may be necessary or desirable to comply with provisions of the laws of other countries in which the Company or any Related Company may operate to assure the viability of the benefits from Options granted to Participants employed in such countries and to meet the objectives of the Plan. 13.7 NO TRUST OR FUND The Plan is intended to constitute an "UNFUNDED" plan. Nothing contained herein shall require the Company to segregate any monies or other property, or Common Shares, or to create any trusts, or to make any special deposits for any immediate or deferred amounts payable to any Participant, and no Participant shall have any rights that are greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. 13.8 SEVERABILITY If any provision of the Plan or any Option is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person, or would disqualify the Plan or any Option under any law deemed applicable by the Plan Administrator, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or, if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the Plan Administrator's determination, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Option, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Option, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Option shall remain in full force and effect. 13.9 CHOICE OF LAW The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, U.S.A., without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. ARTICLE 14. EFFECTIVE DATE The effective date is December 19, 2005, being the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board. If the stockholders of the Company do not approve the Plan within 12 months after the Board's adoption of the Plan, any Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan will be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. -16- This Plan is dated and made effective on this 19th day of December, 2005.
