THE PLAN INFORMATION. THE COMPANY National Beauty Corp. has its principal executive offices at 4818 W. Commercial Blvd., Fort Lauderdale, FL 33319. National Beauty Corp.'s telephone number is (954) 717-8680. PURPOSE National Beauty Corp. will issue common stock to certain consultants pursuant to consulting agreements and the Stock Plan, which have been approved by the Board of Directors of National Beauty Corp. The agreements and the Stock Plan are intended to provide a method whereby National Beauty Corp. may be stimulated by the personal involvement of the consultants in National Beauty Corp.'s future prosperity, thereby advancing the interests of National Beauty Corp. and all of its shareholders. Copies of the agreements and the Stock Plan have been filed as exhibits to this registration statement. COMMON STOCK The Board has authorized the issuance of up to 665,924 shares of the common stock to the consultants upon effectiveness of this registration statement. 34,000 of the shares are underlying stock options, exercisable at $.48 per share on or before December 31, 2005. THE CONSULTANTS The consultants have agreed to provide their expertise and advice to National Beauty Corp. for the purposes set forth in the consulting agreements. NO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER The consultants will become the record and beneficial owners of the shares of common stock upon issuance and delivery and are entitled to all of the rights of ownership, including the right to vote any shares awarded and to receive ordinary cash dividends on the common stock. TAX TREATMENT TO THE CONSULTANTS The common stock is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The consultants, therefore, will be required for federal income tax purposes to recognize compensation during the taxable year of issuance unless the shares are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Accordingly, absent a specific contractual provision to the contrary, the consultants will receive compensation taxable at ordinary rates equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of receipt since there will be no substantial risk of forfeiture or other restrictions on transfer. If, however, the consultants receive shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of an option or options at an exercise price below the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise, the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise will be deemed compensation for federal income tax purposes. The consultants are urged to consult each of their tax advisors on this matter. Further, if any recipient is an "affiliate," Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act is applicable and will affect the issue of taxation. TAX TREATMENT TO THE COMPANY The amount of income recognized by any recipient hereunder in accordance with the foregoing discussion will be a tax deductible expense by National Beauty Corp. for federal income tax purposes in the taxable year of National Beauty Corp. during which the recipient recognizes income. RESTRICTIONS ON RESALES In the event that an affiliate of National Beauty Corp. acquires shares of common stock hereunder, the affiliate will be subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Further, in the event that any affiliate acquiring shares hereunder has sold or sells any shares of common stock in the six months preceding or following the receipt of shares hereunder, any so called "profit," as computed under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, would be required to be disgorged from the recipient to National Beauty Corp. Services rendered have been recognized as valid consideration for the "purchase" of shares in connection with the "profit" computation under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. National Beauty Corp. has agreed that for the purpose of any "profit" computation under 16(b), the price paid for the common stock issued to affiliates is equal to the value of services rendered. Shares of common stock acquired hereunder by persons other than affiliates are not subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. ITEM 2. REGISTRANT INFORMATION AND EMPLOYEE PLAN ANNUAL INFORMATION A copy of any document or part thereof incorporated by reference in this registration statement but not delivered with this prospectus or any document required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 428(b) under the Securities Act will be furnished without charge upon written or oral request. Requests should be addressed to: National Beauty Corp., 4818 W. Commercial Blvd., Fort Lauderdale, FL 3319, where its telephone number is (954) 717-8680. PART II INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT ITEM 3. INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE. The following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") by National Beauty Corp., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), are incorporated herein by reference: (a) The Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2000, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; (b) The reports of the Company filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") since the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000; and (c) All other documents filed by the Company after the date of this registration statement pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this registration statement which de-registers all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this registration statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing such documents. ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES. Not applicable. ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL. April E. Frisby of Weed & Co. L.P. has rendered an opinion on the validity of the securities being registered. Weed & Co. L.P. is not an affiliate of National Beauty Corp. The financial statements of National Beauty Corp. are incorporated by reference in this prospectus as of and for the year ended December 31, 2000 and have been audited by Perrella & Associates, P.A., independent certified public accountants, as set forth in their report incorporated herein by reference, and are incorporated herein in reliance upon the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting. ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS; INSURANCE. Under Nevada law, a corporation may indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents under certain circumstances, including indemnification of such person against liability under the Securities Act of 1933. A true and correct copy of Section 78.7502 of Nevada Revised Statutes that addresses indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. In addition, Section 78.037 of the Nevada Revised Statutes and National Beauty Corp.'s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that a director of this corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages due to breach of fiduciary duty as a director except for liability (a) for acts or omissions not in good faith which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law; or (b) for the payments of distribution in violation of Nevada Revised Statute 78.300. The effect of these provisions may be to eliminate the rights of National Beauty Corp. and its stockholders (through stockholders' derivative suit on behalf of National Beauty Corp.) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described in clauses (a) - (b) of the preceding paragraph. ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED. Not applicable. ITEM 8. EXHIBITS. (a) The following exhibits are filed as part of this registration statement pursuant to Item 601 of the Regulation S-K and are specifically incorporated herein by this reference: Exhibit No. Title - ------------ ----- 5.1 Legal opinion of Weed & Co.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to: (I) include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (II) reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represents a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; (III) include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement. Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability pursuant to the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities offered at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (4) To deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information. (5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of 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, 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 is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The undersigned hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies 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 Fort Lauderdale, State of Florida, on December 24, 2001.

National Beauty Corp. 4818 W. Commercial Blvd. Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33319 PHONE: (954) 717-8680 FAX: (954) 717-2508 Re: Special Projects -------------------- Dear Mr. Roth: The purpose of this letter is to set forth the terms and conditions that will govern our professional relationship. This agreement for professional services ("Agreement") is between National Beauty Corp., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries, ("Client") and Richard O. Weed of Weed & Co. L.P. ("Weed") whose address is 4695 MacArthur Court, Suite 1450, Newport Beach, California 92660. Weed shall render the following legal services described in Exhibit A attached hereto and Client may engage Weed on any new matters referenced in Exhibit A in exchange for payment of fees determined in accordance with this Agreement. Weed makes no promises or guarantees regarding the outcome of matters upon which Weed is engaged to represent the Client. To protect both of the parties and to comply with professional obligations, we have already discussed with each other and resolved any potential conflicts of interest with present or former clients. The services that Weed will provide shall be in accordance with the following terms and conditions. PROFESSIONAL FEES Fees will be based upon the reasonable value of Weed's services as determined in accordance with the American Bar Association Model Code of Professional Responsibility and the California & Texas Rules of Professional Conduct. Fees will be based on the rates charged by Weed. Weed's rate is $300 per hour. It is anticipated that Client and Weed will agree on a fixed fee for special projects from time to time. The fixed fee arrangements for special projects will be agreed to in writing. Weed's fees may be paid in cash or as follows: As payment for services, Client has proposed and Weed has agreed that Client place a block of 15,000 shares of free trading stock in Weed's name with a nationally known securities broker-dealer. At least once a month, Weed will send Client a statement for fees and costs, with written notice to the brokerage firm of the dollar amount of such statement. Unless objection is made to the bill, sufficient Client stock, net of commission, shall then be liquidated forthwith at the prevailing market rate to satisfy such statement. Weed has not been engaged to perform, nor will Weed agree to perform any services in connection with a capital raising transaction in exchange for shares registered on Form S-8. The rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission do not allow the use of a Form S-8 registration statement under such circumstances. Any fees for services that are in connection with a capital raising transaction shall be paid in cash or registered on another form of registration statement. In the course of Weed's representation of the Company, if all the stock is liquidated, a new block of stock sufficient to cover projected fees and costs, in an amount contemporaneously agreed to by the parties, will again be placed with the brokerage firm, under the terms and conditions outlined above. At the conclusion of Weed's representation of Client and the payment of all final fees and costs, any unused stock shall forthwith be returned to Client. Client has agreed to promptly register such blocks of stock pursuant to Form S-8 or other applicable registration statement at its own expense and deliver such stock to the Weed or brokerage firm upon the filing and effectiveness of the registration statement. Client further understands that during the course of Weed's engagement, it may be necessary or advisable to delegate various portions of this matter to others. STOCK OPTION As an incentive for Weed to represent the Client and to increase Weed's proprietary interest in the success of the Client, thereby encouraging it to maintain its relationship with the Client, the Client hereby grants to Weed options to purchase shares of the Client's common stock. As an initial option, the Client hereby grants Weed the right to purchase 34,000 shares of Client's common stock at a price equal to $0.48 per share. All stock options will expire unless exercised on or before December 31, 2005. The options granted will not be subject to dilution (i.e. no adjustment to the number of shares or the exercise price) based upon any reverse split of the Client's common stock. The stock options shall be exercisable in whole or in part with a promissory note of less than 45 days duration or upon common "cashless exercise" terms. Client has agreed to promptly register the shares of common stock underlying the stock options at its own expense. Client shall cause any subsidiary or parent corporation to adopt and be bound by this Agreement and all its provisions. COSTS AND EXPENSES Client understands that in the course of representation, it may be necessary for Weed to incur certain costs or expenses. Client will reimburse Weed for certain costs or expenses actually incurred and reasonably necessary for completing the assigned matter, as long as the charges for costs and expenses are competitive with other sources of the same products or services and approved by Client in advance. More particularly, Client will reimburse Weed in accordance with the following guidelines: 1. Computer-Related Expenses - Client will reimburse Weed for computerized research and research services. However, any charges over $500 per month will require approval. Client also encourages Weed to utilize computer services that will enable Weed to more efficiently manage the projects. 2. Travel - Client will reimburse Weed for expenses in connection with out of town travel. However, Client will only reimburse for economy class travel and, where necessary, for the reasonable cost of a rental car. All related travel expenses, i.e., lodging and meals, must be reasonable under the circumstances. 3. Filing Fees & Court Costs - Client will reimburse Weed for expenses incurred in connection with filing fees and court costs, if any, but will not be responsible for sanctions or penalties imposed due to the conduct of Weed. Client shall pay and hold Weed harmless from all such costs and expenses incurred on Client's behalf. Weed may, but shall not be obligated to, advance funds on Client's behalf. In such event, Client agrees to reimburse Weed upon demand for the amounts advanced. Substantial outside fees (such as state filing fees or SEC filing services) may be referred to Client for direct payment. BILLING All bills will include a summary statement of the kinds of services rendered during the relevant period. Client expects that Weed will maintain back-up documentation for all expenses. Client expects to be billed monthly or at the conclusion of each project and agrees to pay Weed's invoices within fifteen days of receipt. Weed shall bill in increments of one-quarter (1/4) hour unless otherwise agreed in writing. DELAY IN PAYMENT In the event that any of Weed's bills remain unpaid for more than 30 days after receipt by Client, Weed shall have the right to discontinue rendering further services to Client in connection with any matter then being handled for Client by Weed. INVOLVEMENT OF CLIENT Client expects to be kept closely involved with the progress of Weed's services in this matter. Weed will keep Client apprised of all material developments in this matter, and will provide sufficient notice to enable a representative to attend meetings, conferences, and other proceedings. There may be times when Weed will need to obtain information from Client. All requests for access to documents, employees, or other information shall be granted without unreasonable delay. TERMINATION Client shall have the right to terminate Weed's engagement by written notice at any time. Weed has the same right to terminate this engagement, subject to an obligation to give Client reasonable notice to permit it to obtain alternative representation or services and subject to applicable ethical provisions. Weed will be expected to provide reasonable assistance in effecting a transfer of responsibilities to the new service provider. DISPUTES The laws of the State of California shall govern the interpretation of this agreement, including all rules or codes of ethics that apply to the provision of services. All disputes between us arising out of this engagement which cannot be settled, shall be resolved in a federal or state court located in Orange County, California. If the foregoing accurately reflects our agreement regarding professional services, please sign and return a duplicate copy of this letter.

AWARD OF COMMON STOCK 5.1 The Board or Committee from time to time, in its absolute discretion, may (a) award Common Stock to employees of, consultants to, and directors of the Company, and such other persons as the Board or Committee may select, and (b) permit Holders of Options to exercise such Options prior to full vesting therein and hold the Common Shares issued upon exercise of the Option as Common Stock.

Notwithstanding anything in this Plan or any Common Stock Agreement to the contrary, no Common Stockholders may sell or otherwise transfer, whether or not for value, any of the Common Stock prior to the date on which the Common Stockholder is vested therein. 5.5 All shares of Common Stock issued under this Plan (including any shares of Common Stock and other securities issued with respect to the shares of Common Stock as a result of stock dividends, stock splits or similar changes in the capital structure of the Company) shall be subject to such restrictions as the Board or Committee shall provide, which restrictions may include, without limitation, restrictions concerning voting rights, transferability of the Common Stock and restrictions based on duration of employment with the Company, Company performance and individual performance; provided that the Board or Committee may, on such terms and conditions as it may determine to be appropriate, remove any or all of such restric-tions. Common Stock may not be sold or encumbered until all applicable restrictions have terminated or expire. The restrictions, if any, imposed by the Board or Committee or the Board under this Section 5 need not be identical for all Common Stock and the imposition of any restrictions with respect to any Common Stock shall not require the imposition of the same or any other restrictions with respect to any other Common Stock. 5.6 Each Common Stock Agreement shall provide that the Company shall have the right to repurchase from the Common Stockholder the unvested Common Stock upon a termination of employment, termination of directorship or termination of a consultancy arrangement, as applicable, at a cash price per share equal to the purchase price paid by the Common Stockholder for such Common Stock. 5.7 In the discretion of the Board or Committee, the Common Stock Agreement may provide that the Company shall have the a right of first refusal with respect to the Common Stock and a right to repurchase the vested Common Stock upon a termination of the Common Stockholder's employment with the Company, the termination of the Common Stockholder's consulting arrangement with the Company, the termination of the Common Stockholder's service on the Company's Board, or such other events as the Board or Committee may deem appropriate. 5.8 The Board or Committee shall cause a legend or legends to be placed on certificates representing shares of Common Stock that are subject to restrictions under Common Stock Agreements, which legend or legends shall make appropriate reference to the applicable restrictions. 6. STOCK OPTION TERMS AND CONDITIONS 6.1 Consistent with the Plan's purpose, Stock Options may be granted to non-employee directors of the Company or other persons who are performing or who have been engaged to perform services of special importance to the management, operation or development of the Company. 6.2 All Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by agreements which shall be subject to applicable provisions of the Plan, and such other provisions as the Committee may adopt, including the provisions set forth in paragraphs 2 through 11 of this Section 6. 6.3 All Stock Options granted hereunder must be granted within ten years from the earlier of the date of this Plan is adopted or approved by the Company's shareholders. 6.4 No Stock Option granted to any employee or 10% Shareholder shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date such NQSO is granted. The Committee, in its discretion, may provide that an Option shall be exercisable during such ten year period or during any lesser period of time. The Committee may establish installment exercise terms for a Stock Option such that the NQSO becomes fully exercisable in a series of cumulating portions. If an Optionee shall not, in any given installment period, purchase all the Common Shares which such Optionee is entitled to purchase within such installment period, such Optionee's right to purchase any Common Shares not purchased in such installment period shall continue until the expiration or sooner termination of such NQSO. The Committee may also accelerate the exercise of any NQSO. However, no NQSO, or any portion thereof, may be exercisable until thirty (30) days following date of grant ("30-Day Holding Period."). 6.5 A Stock Option, or portion thereof, shall be exercised by delivery of (i) a written notice of exercise of the Company specifying the number of common shares to be purchased, and (ii) payment of the full price of such Common Shares, as fully set forth in paragraph 6 of this Section 6. No NQSO or installment thereof shall be exercisable except with respect to whole shares, and fractional share interests shall be disregarded. Not less than 100 Common Shares may be purchased at one time unless the number purchased is the total number at the time available for purchase under the NQSO. Until the Common Shares represented by an exercised NQSO are issued to an Optionee, he shall have none of the rights of a shareholder. 6.6 The exercise price of a Stock Option, or portion thereof, may be paid: A. In United States dollars, in cash or by cashier's check, certified check, bank draft or money order, payable to the order of the Company in an amount equal to the option price; or B. At the discretion of the Committee, through the delivery of fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares, with an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date the NQSO is exercised equal to the option price, provided such tendered Shares have been owned by the Optionee for at least one year prior to such exercise; or C. By a combination of both A and B above. The Committee shall determine acceptable methods for tendering Common Shares as payment upon exercise of a Stock Option and may impose such limitations and prohibitions on the use of Common Shares to exercise an NQSO as it deems appropriate. 6.7 With the Optionee's consent, the Committee may cancel any Stock Option issued under this Plan and issue a new NQSO to such Optionee. 6.8 Except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, no right or interest in any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be assignable or transferable, and no right or interest of any Optionee shall be liable for, or subject to, any lien, obligation or liability of the Optionee. Stock Options shall be exercisable during the Optionee's lifetime only by the Optionee or the duly appointed legal representative of an incompetent Optionee. 6.9 If the Optionee shall die while associated with the Company or within three months after termination of such association, the personal representative or administrator of the Optionee's estate or the person(s) to whom an NQSO granted hereunder shall have been validly transferred by such personal representative or administrator pursuant to the Optionee's will or the laws of descent and distribution, shall have the right to exercise the NQSO for one year after the date of the Optionee's death, to the extent (i) such NQSO was exercisable on the date of such termination of employment by death, and (ii) such NQSO was not exercised, and (iii) the exercise period may not be extended beyond the expiration of the term of the Option. No transfer of a Stock Option by the will of an Optionee or by the laws of descent and distribution shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Company shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and an authenticated copy of the will and/or such other evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee or transferee of the terms and conditions by such Stock Option. In the event of death following termination of the Optionee's association with the Company while any portion of an NQSO remains exercisable, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide for an extension of the exercise period of up to one year after the Optionee's death but not beyond the expiration of the term of the Stock Option. 6.10 Any Optionee who disposes of Common Shares acquired on the exercise of a NQSO by sale or exchange either (i) within two years after the date of the grant of the NQSO under which the stock was acquired, or (ii) within one year after the acquisition of such Shares, shall notify the Company of such disposition and of the amount realized upon such disposition. The transfer of Common Shares may also be Common by applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 7. ADJUSTMENTS OR CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION 7.1 In the event that the outstanding Common Shares of the Company are hereafter changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of merger, consolidation, other reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination of shares, stock split-up or stock dividend: A. Prompt, proportionate, equitable, lawful and adequate adjustment shall be made of the aggregate number and kind of shares subject to Stock Options which may be granted under the Plan, such that the Optionee shall have the right to purchase such Common Shares as may be issued in exchange for the Common Shares purchasable on exercise of the NQSO had such merger, consolidation, other reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination of shares, stock split-up or stock dividend not taken place; B. Rights under unexercised Stock Options or portions thereof granted prior to any such change, both as to the number or kind of shares and the exercise price per share, shall be adjusted appropriately, provided that such adjustments shall be made without change in the total exercise price applicable to the unexercised portion of such NQSO's but by an adjustment in the price for each share covered by such NQSO's; or C. Upon any dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any merger or combination in which the Company is not a surviving corporation, each outstanding Stock Option granted hereunder shall terminate, but the Optionee shall have the right, immediately prior to such dissolution, liquidation, merger or combination, to exercise his NQSO in whole or in part, to the extent that it shall not have been exercised, without regard to any installment exercise provisions in such NQSO. 7.2 The foregoing adjustments and the manner of application of the foregoing provisions shall be determined solely by the Committee, whose determination as to what adjustments shall be made and the extent thereof, shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional Shares shall be issued under the Plan on account of any such adjustments. 8. MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR TENDER OFFER 8.1 If the Company shall be a party to a binding agreement to any merger, consolidation or reorganization or sale of substantially all the assets of the Company, each outstanding Stock Option shall pertain and apply to the securities and/or property which a shareholder of the number of Common Shares of the Company subject to the NQSO would be entitled to receive pursuant to such merger, consolidation or reorganization or sale of assets. 8.2 In the event that: A. Any person other than the Company shall acquire more than 20% of the Common Shares of the Company through a tender offer, exchange offer or otherwise; B. A change in the "control" of the Company occurs, as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933; C. There shall be a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; any then outstanding Stock Option held by an Optionee, who is deemed by the Committee to be a statutory officer ("Insider") for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 shall be entitled to receive, subject to any action by the Committee revoking such an entitlement as provided for below, in lieu of exercise of such Stock Option, to the extent that it is then exercisable, a cash payment in an amount equal to the difference between the aggregate exercise price of such NQSO, or portion thereof, and, (i) in the event of an offer or similar event, the final offer price per share paid for Common Shares, or such lower price as the Committee may determine to conform an option to preserve its Stock Option status, times the number of Common Shares covered by the NQSO or portion thereof, or (ii) in the case of an event covered by B or C above, the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Common Shares covered by the Stock Option, as determined by the Committee at such time. 8.3 Any payment which the Company is required to make pursuant to paragraph 8.2 of this Section 8 shall be made within 15 business days, following the event which results in the Optionee's right to such payment. In the event of a tender offer in which fewer than all the shares which are validly tendered in compliance with such offer are purchased or exchanged, then only that portion of the shares covered by an NQSO as results from multiplying such shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares acquired pursuant to the offer and the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares tendered in compliance with such offer shall be used to determine the payment thereupon. To the extent that all or any portion of a Stock Option shall be affected by this provision, all or such portion of the NQSO shall be terminated. 8.4 Notwithstanding paragraphs 8.1 and 8.3 of this Section 8, the Committee may, by unanimous vote and resolution, unilaterally revoke the benefits of the above provisions; provided, however, that such vote is taken no later than ten business days following public announcement of the intent of an offer or the change of control, whichever occurs earlier. 9. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN 9.1 The Board may at any time, and from time to time, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part or amend it from time to time in such respects as the Board may deem appropriate and in the best interest of the Company. 9.2 No amendment, suspension or termination of this Plan shall, without the Optionee's consent, alter or impair any of the rights or obligations under any Stock Option theretofore granted to him under the Plan. 9.3 The Board may amend the Plan, subject to the limitations cited above, in such manner as it deems necessary to permit the granting of Stock Options meeting the requirements of future amendments or issued regulations, if any, to the Code. 9.4 No NQSO may be granted during any suspension of the Plan or after termination of the Plan. 10. GOVERNMENT AND OTHER REGULATIONS 10.1 The obligation of the Company to issue, transfer and deliver Common Shares for Stock Options exercised under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, regulations, rules, orders and approval which shall then be in effect and required by the relevant stock exchanges on which the Common Shares are traded and by government entities as set forth below or as the Committee in its sole discretion shall deem necessary or advisable. Specifically, in connection with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, upon exercise of any Stock Option, the Company shall not be required to issue Common Shares unless the Committee has received evidence satisfactory to it to the effect that the Optionee will not transfer such shares except pursuant to a registration statement in effect under such Act or unless an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company has been received by the Company to the effect that such registration is not required. Any determination in this connection by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive. The Company may, but shall in no event be obligated to, take any other affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of a Stock Option or the issuance of Common Shares pursuant thereto to comply with any law or regulation of any government authority. 11. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 11.1 No person shall have any claim or right to be granted a Stock Option or Common Stock under the Plan, and the grant of an NQSO or Common Stock under the Plan shall not be construed as giving an Optionee or Common Stockholder the right to be retained by the Company. Furthermore, the Company expressly reserves the right at any time to terminate its relationship with an Optionee with or without cause, free from any liability, or any claim under the Plan, except as provided herein, in an option agreement, or in any agreement between the Company and the Optionee. 11.2 Any expenses of administering this Plan shall be borne by the Company. 11.3 The payment received from Optionee from the exercise of Stock Options under the Plan shall be used for the general corporate purposes of the Company. 11.4 The place of administration of the Plan shall be in the State of Nevada, and the validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect of the Plan and of its rules and regulations, and rights relating to the Plan, shall be determined solely in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada. 11.5 Without amending the Plan, grants may be made to persons who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States, or both, on such terms and conditions, consistent with the Plan's purpose, different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be necessary or desirable to create equitable opportunities given differences in tax laws in other countries. 11.6 In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board or the Committee, the members of the Committee shall be indemnified by the Company against all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which they or any of them may be party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any Stock Option granted thereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except a judgment based upon a finding of bad faith; provided that upon the institution of any such action, suit or proceeding a Committee member shall, in writing, give the Company notice thereof and an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same, with counsel acceptable to the Optionee, before such Committee member undertakes to handle and defend it on his own behalf. 11.7 Stock Options may be granted under this Plan from time to time, in substitution for stock options held by employees of other corporations who are about to become employees of the Company as the result of a merger or consolidation of the employing corporation with the Company or the acquisition by the Company of the assets of the employing corporation or the acquisition by the Company of stock of the employing corporation as a result of which it becomes a subsidiary of the Company. The terms and conditions of such substitute stock options so granted may vary from the terms and conditions set forth in this Plan to such extent as the Board of Directors of the Company at the time of grant may deem appropriate to conform, in whole or in part, to the provisions of the stock options in substitution for which they are granted, but no such variations shall be such as to affect the status of any such substitute stock options as a stock option under Section 422A of the Code. 11.8 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, if the Committee finds by a majority vote, after full consideration of the facts presented on behalf of both the Company and the Optionee, that the Optionee has been engaged in fraud, embezzlement, theft, insider trading in the Company's stock, commission of a felony or proven dishonesty in the course of his association with the Company or any subsidiary corporation which damaged the Company or any subsidiary corporation, or for disclosing trade secrets of the Company or any subsidiary corporation, the Optionee shall forfeit all unexercised Stock Options and all exercised NQSO's under which the Company has not yet delivered the certificates and which have been earlier granted to the Optionee by the Committee. The decision of the Committee as to the cause of an Optionee's discharge and the damage done to the Company shall be final. No decision of the Committee, however, shall affect the finality of the discharge of such Optionee by the Company or any subsidiary corporation in any manner. 12. WRITTEN AGREEMENT 12.1 Each Stock Option granted hereunder shall be embodied in a written Stock Option Agreement which shall be subject to the terms and conditions prescribed above and shall be signed by the Optionee and by the President or any Vice President of the Company, for and in the name and on behalf of the Company. Such Stock Option Agreement shall contain such other provisions as the Committee, in its discretion shall deem advisable.

DISCRETIONARY AND MANDATORY INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS: GENERAL PROVISIONS 1. A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. 2. A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. 3. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.
