Exhibit 10.13

                                OPTION AGREEMENT

      THIS OPTION AGREEMENT ("Option") is entered into effective the 1st day of
November 2002, by and between Fred G. Luke, a natural person ("Optionee") and
NewBridge Capital, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company").

      WHEREAS, the Company and Optionee are parties to an Advisory and Director
Fee Agreement dated July 1, 2002, (the "Fee Agreement") and, contemporaneously
with the execution of this Option, in consideration for and as an inducement for
Optionee entering into an Amendment to the Fee Agreement reducing the initial
term of the Fee Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue to Optionee options
to purchase additional shares of its $.001 par value common stock (the "Common
Stock").

      NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises herein,
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth
below, Optionee and the Company agree as follows:

1.    The Option

      In consideration for Optionee entering into the Amendment, the Company
      hereby grants to Optionee the option to acquire One Million (1,000,000)
      shares of its Common Stock (the "Option Shares"), at a purchase price
      (each, an "Option Price") as follows:

      Two Hundred Fifty Thousand (250,000) shares exercisable at $.60 per share,
      Two Hundred Fifty Thousand (250,000) shares exercisable at $.70 per share,
      Two Hundred Fifty Thousand (250,000) shares exercisable at $.80 per share,
      Two Hundred Fifty Thousand (250,000) shares exercisable at $.90 per share.

2.    Term and Exercise of Option

      A)     Term of Option. Subject to the terms of this Option, Optionee shall
             have the right to exercise the Option in whole or in part, until
             the fifth (5th) anniversary of Optionee's execution hereof.

      B)     Exercise of the Option. The Option may be exercised either in full
             or in part and from time to time by Optionee upon written notice to
             the Company setting out the number of Option Shares to be purchased
             accompanied by (a) payment of the applicable portion of the Option
             Price, or (b) Optionee tendering to the Company marketable
             securities, including but not limited to securities issued by the
             Company, or Promissory notes secured by securities issued by an
             entity other than the Company ("Securities") equal in value, as
             determined by the average closing bid price for such Securities for
             the ten (10) previous trading days, or the face amount of such
             tendered Securities, with a value equal to the applicable portion
             of the Option Price of the Option Shares.

      C)     Issuance of Option Shares. Upon receipt of notice of exercise and
             payment of the Option Price, the Company shall immediately cause
             the delivery of the Option Shares so purchased to Optionee, or in
             such name or names as Optionee may designate. In the event the
             Option is exercised in respect of less than all of the Option
             Shares purchasable on such exercise at any time prior to the date
             of expiration hereof, the remaining Option Shares shall continue to
             be subject to adjustment as set forth in paragraph 3 hereof.

3.    Adjustment of Option Shares

      The number of Option Shares purchasable pursuant to this Option shall be
      subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain
      events, as follows:

      A)     Adjustment for Recapitalization. In the event the Company shall (a)
             subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (b) issue or
             convert by a reclassification or recapitalization of its shares of
             Common Stock into, for, or with other securities (a
             "Recapitalization"), the number of Option Shares purchasable
             hereunder immediately following such Recapitalization shall be
             adjusted so that Optionee shall be entitled to receive the kind and
             number of Option Shares or other securities of the Company measured
             as a percentage of the current issued and outstanding shares of
             Company's Common Stock as of the date hereof, which it would have
             been entitled to receive had such Option been exercised immediately
             prior to the happening of such event or any record date with
             respect thereto; provided however that, notwithstanding anything in
             this Option to the contrary, neither the number of Option Shares
             nor the Option Price shall be affected or altered in any way by
             reason of a reverse split of the Company's Common Stock unless such
             adjustment is mutually agreed in writing between Optionee and the
             Company prior to any adjustment.

      B)     Preservation of Purchase Rights Under Consolidation. Subject to
             paragraph 3.A. above, in case of any Recapitalization or any other
             consolidation of the Company with or merger of the Company into
             another corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance to
             another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety
             or substantially as an entirety, the Company shall prior to the
             closing of such transaction, cause such successor or purchasing
             corporation, as the case may be, to acknowledge and accept
             responsibility for the Company's obligations hereunder and to grant
             Optionee the right thereafter upon payment of the Option Price to
             purchase the kind and amount of shares and other securities and
             property which he would have owned or have been entitled to receive
             after the happening of such consolidation, merger, sale or
             conveyance. The provisions of this paragraph shall similarly apply
             to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.

      C)     Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Option Shares
             purchasable hereunder is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company
             shall mail by first class mail, postage prepaid, to Optionee notice
             of such adjustment or adjustments, and shall deliver to Optionee
             setting forth the adjusted number of Option Shares purchasable and
             a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, including
             the computation by which such adjustment was made.

4.    Assignment

      The rights represented by this Option may only be assigned or transferred
      by Optionee to an affiliate or retirement plan, or to a trust if effected
      as the result of estate planning. For the purpose of this Option, the term
      "affiliate" shall be defined as a family member or an enterprise that
      directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or
      is controlled by, or is under common control of Optionee; otherwise, this
      Option and the rights hereunder shall not be assigned.
