Description of Securities. The authorized capital of the Company consists of 349,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value per share and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $100 par value per share. COMMON STOCK. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted upon by the shareholders generally. The shares of Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that holders of more than 50% of the shares of Common Stock voting for the election of directors can elect all the directors. In such an event, the holders of the remaining shares of Common Stock would not be able to elect a single director. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive pro-rata such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. This right is subject to the rights of any holders of Preferred Stock. In the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to share pro-rata in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities. Shares of Common Stock have no preemptive, conversion, or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the shares of Common Stock. Item 5. Interest of Named Experts and Counsel. Other than as set forth below, no named expert or counsel was hired on a contingent basis, will receive a direct or indirect interest in the small business issuer, or was a promoter, underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer, or employee of the Registrant. Ina P. Kagel, Esq., counsel for the Registrant named in this registration statement as giving an opinion on the validity of the common stock will receive 100,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the Registrant's Retainer Stock Award Plan for Consultants under this Form S-8 in consideration for legal services rendered for and to be rendered the Registrant. Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Limitation of Liability. The articles of incorporation of the Registrant provide the following with regard to liability: "No Director of this Corporation shall have personal liability to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a Director or officer involving any act or omission of any such Director or officer. The foregoing provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a Director (i) for any breach of the Director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or, which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under applicable Sections of the Nevada Revised Statutes, (iv) the payment of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes or, (v) for any transaction from which the Director derived an improper personal benefit. Any repeal or modification of this Article by the stockholders of the Corporation shall be prospective only and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a Director or officer of the Corporation for acts or omissions prior to such repeal or modification." Indemnification. (a) Bylaws. Article V of the bylaws of the Registrant provides as follows: "Section 1. Definitions. For purposes of this Article, "Indemnitee" shall mean each Director or Officer who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is otherwise involved in, any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a Director or Officer of this Corporation or is or was serving in any capacity at the request of this Corporation as a Director, Officer, employee, agent, partner, or fiduciary of, or in any other capacity for, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise. The term "Proceeding" shall mean any threatened, pending or completed action or suit (including, without limitation, an action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of this Corporation), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative. Section 2. Indemnification. Each Indemnitee shall be indemnified and held harmless by this Corporation for all actions taken by him or her, and for all omissions (regardless of the date of any such action or omission), to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, against all expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorney fees, judgments, fines, taxes, penalties, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding. Indemnification pursuant to this Section shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a Director or Officer and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. This Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, and to the extent provided in such action, indemnify employees and other persons as though they were Indemnitees. The rights to indemnification as provided in this Article shall be non-exclusive of any other rights that any person may have or hereafter acquire under an statute, provision of this Corporation's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or Directors, or otherwise. Section 3. Financial Arrangements. This Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, Officer, employee or agent of this Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of this Corporation in such capacity for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise for any liability asserted against him or her and liability and expenses incurred by him or her in such capacity, whether or not this Corporation has the authority to indemnify him or her against such liability and expenses. The other financial arrangements which may be made by this Corporation may include, but are not limited to, (a) creating a trust fund; (b) establishing a program of self-insurance; (c) securing its obligation of indemnification by granting a security interest or other lien on any of this Corporation's assets, and (d) establishing a letter of credit, guarantee or surety. No financial arrangement made pursuant to this section may provide protection for a person adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law, except with respect to advancing expenses or indemnification ordered by a court. Any insurance or other financial arrangement made on behalf of a person pursuant to this section may be provided by this Corporation or any other person approved by the Board of Directors, even if all or part of the other person's stock or other securities is owned by this Corporation. In the absence of fraud: (a) the decision of the Board of Directors as to the propriety of the terms and conditions of any insurance or other financial arrangement made pursuant to this section, and the choice of the person to provide the insurance or other financial arrangement is conclusive; and (b) the insurance or other financial arrangement is not void or voidable; does not subject any Director approving it to personal liability for his action; and even if a Director approving the insurance or other financial arrangement is a beneficiary of the insurance or other financial arrangement. Section 4. Contract of Indemnification. The provisions of this Article relating to indemnification shall constitute a contract between this Corporation and each of its Directors and Officers, which may be modified as to any Director or Officer only with that person's consent or as specifically provided in this section. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Bylaws relating to their amendment generally, any repeal or amendment of this Article which is adverse to any Director or Officer shall apply to such Director or Officer only on a prospective basis and shall not limit the rights of an Indemnitee to indemnification with respect to any action or failure to act occurring prior to the time of such repeal or amendment. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws, no repeal or amendment of these Bylaws shall affect any or all of this Article so as to limit or reduce the indemnification in any manner unless adopted by (a) the unanimous vote of the Directors of this Corporation then serving, or (b) the stockholders as set forth in Article XII hereof; provided that no such amendment shall have retroactive effect inconsistent with the preceding sentence. Section 5. Nevada Law. References in this Article to Nevada law or to any provision thereof shall be to such law as it existed on the date these Bylaws were adopted or as such law thereafter may be changed; provided that (a) in the case of any change which expands the liability of an Indemnitee or limits the indemnification rights or the rights to advancement of expenses which this Corporation may provide, the rights to limited liability, to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses provided in this Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws, or both shall continue as theretofore to the extent permitted by law; and (b) if such change permits this Corporation, without the requirement of any further action by stockholders or Directors, to limit further the liability of Indemnitees or to provide broader indemnification rights or rights to the advancement of expenses than this Corporation was permitted to provide prior to such change, liability thereupon shall be so limited and the rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses shall be so broadened to the extent permitted by law." (c) Nevada Revised Statutes. "NRS 78.7502 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. NRS 78.751 Authorization required for discretionary indemnification; advancement of expenses; limitation on indemnification and advancement of expenses. (1) Any discretionary indemnification under NRS 78.7502 unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to subsection 2, may be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made: (i) By the stockholders; (ii) By the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding; (iii) If a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (iv) If a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion. (2) The articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The provisions of this subsection do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than directors or officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law. (3) The indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized in NRS 78.7502 or ordered by a court pursuant to this section: (i) Does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in his official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding his office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to subsection 2, may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action. (ii) Continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. NRS 78.752 Insurance and other financial arrangements against liability of directors, officers, employees and agents. (1) A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who 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 for any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses. (2) The other financial arrangements made by the corporation pursuant to subsection 1 may include the following: (i) The creation of a trust fund. (ii) The establishment of a program of self-insurance. (iii) The securing of its obligation of indemnification by granting a security interest or other lien on any assets of the corporation. (iv) The establishment of a letter of credit, guaranty or surety. No financial arrangement made pursuant to this subsection may provide protection for a person adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, except with respect to the advancement of expenses or indemnification ordered by a court. (3) Any insurance or other financial arrangement made on behalf of a person pursuant to this section may be provided by the corporation or any other person approved by the board of directors, even if all or part of the other person's stock or other securities is owned by the corporation. (4) In the absence of fraud: (i) The decision of the board of directors as to the propriety of the terms and conditions of any insurance or other financial arrangement made pursuant to this section and the choice of the person to provide the insurance or other financial arrangement is conclusive; and (ii) The insurance or other financial arrangement: (A) Is not void or voidable; and (B) Does not subject any director approving it to personal liability for his action, even if a director approving the insurance or other financial arrangement is a beneficiary of the insurance or other financial arrangement. (5) A corporation or its subsidiary which provides self-insurance for itself or for another affiliated corporation pursuant to this section is not subject to the provisions of Title 57 of NRS."

(included in Exhibit 5.1) Item 9. Undertakings. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (a) (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (iii) 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. (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) 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 (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. (e) 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 are 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.

Termination and Amendment The Board may amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan at any time provided that no such modification shall impair the rights of any recipient under any award. 7. Miscellaneous (a) Nothing in the Plan shall require the Company to issue or transfer any Shares pursuant to an award if such issuance or transfer would, in the opinion of the Board, constitute or result in a violation of any applicable statute or regulation of any jurisdiction relating to the disposition of securities. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Board may at any time make or provide for such adjustment to the Plan, to the number of Shares available thereunder, or to any awards of Shares as it shall deem appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights, including adjustments in the event of changes in the number of outstanding Shares by reason of stock dividends or distributions, stock splits or other combinations or subdivisions of stock, recapitalization, issuances by reclassification, mergers, consolidations, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or other similar corporate changes. Any such determination by the Board shall be conclusive. (c) No participant or other person shall have any claim or right to be granted Shares under the Plan, and neither the Plan nor any action taken thereunder shall be construed as giving any participant or other person any right to be retained in the employ of or by the Company. (d) Income realized as a result of an award of Shares shall not be included in the recipient's earnings for the purpose of any benefit plan in which the recipient may be enrolled or for which the recipient may become eligible unless otherwise specifically provided for in such plan. (e) If and when a participant is required to pay the Company an amount required to be withheld under any federal, state or local income tax laws in connection with an award under the Plan, the Board may, in its sole discretion and subject to such rules as it may adopt, permit the participant to satisfy the obligation, in whole or in part, be electing to have the Company withhold Shares having a fair market value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The election to have Shares withheld must be made on or before the date the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. 8. Effective Date and Term of the Plan The effective date of the Plan shall be May 25, 2002 and the Plan shall remain in full force until December 31, 2003 or until all Shares have been awarded, whichever first occurs.
