                          ATTORNEY-CLIENT FEE AGREEMENT
                          -----------------------------

     This Agreement  ("Agreement") is entered into by and between The Law Office
of Gregory  Bartko  ("Firm"),  of 3475 Lenox Road,  Suite 400,  Atlanta  Georgia
30326,  and American Fire  Retardant  Corporation,  with its principal  business
location at 9337 Bond Avenue, El Cajon, 92021 ("Client") regarding the retention
and agreement to provide legal  services and Client's  agreement to pay for such
services and related expenses.

     1.  Services to be  Performed.  The Firm will provide the  following  legal
services (the  "Services"):  (i) provide legal advice and services in connection
with the preparation  and filing of a registration  statement on Form SB-2 under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended  ("Act") with the Securities and Exchange
Commission  ("Commission");  (ii) filing of such registration statement with all
relevant  national  securities  exchanges  and/or  the  NASD's  Over-the-Counter
Electronic  Bulletin  Board;  (iii) the  preparation,  review  and filing of the
Client's periodic reports as required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;
and (iv) legal advice and services  related to mergers,  acquisitions,  business
combinations..  The  Services  shall not include any state  blue-sky  compliance
unless requested  supplementally by the Client.  The Firm will also provide such
other and  further  services  as may be  agreed  upon  between  the Firm and the
Client, which services will be subject to this Agreement. If additional services
are  requested by the Client  beyond the scope of the Services  contemplated  by
this paragraph, the parties shall agree on the specific terms and conditions for
rendering such additional services and reasonable compensation therefore.

     2. Fees for  Services.  Unless  otherwise  agreed,  the Firm's fees for the
Services  performed for the Client ("Fees") are typically based on the number of
hours or partial hours which are devoted to the Client in the performance of the
Services,  multiplied by the Firm's  standard  hourly rates for its attorneys or
other personnel.  In the case of this  engagement,  the Firm and the Client have
agreed that the Services  shall be provided for an agreed upon "flat fee" in the
amount of  $35,000  payable  in cash and  shares of the  Client's  common  stock
deliverable as set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement. It is understood by the
Firm  and the  Client  that  the flat fee is  dedicated  to the  legal  services
relating  to  subparagraphs  1(i) and  (ii),  above  and that the  shares  to be
delivered  and  received as  compensation  to the Firm relate to legal  services
described in subparagraph 1(iii) and (iv), above.

     3. Expenses. The Firm will incur various costs and expenses ("Expenses") in
performing  the  Services.  Such  Expenses  include,  but may not be limited to,
postage,  courier,  long  distance  telephone,  cellular  telephone,  facsimile,
photocopying  and other  document  reproduction,  parking and  travel,  computer
assisted  legal and  factual  research,  clerical  staff  overtime  required  in
performing  the  Services,  transportation  and meals  related to overtime,  and
expenses (e.g. lodging),  and filing fees to the SEC, the securities  exchanges,
and, if requested by the Client,  certain state securities  regulatory agencies.
The Firm  retains the right to request the Client to advance a retainer  for the
payment of Expenses that may exceed $250.00.

     4. Manner of Billing  and  Payment.  It may be helpful to describe  how our
internal  billing  procedure works so that you will know how the billing data is
generated and how the amount of each monthly  statement is  determined.  In your
case,  we have  agreed on a flat fee that was agreed to for the  entirety of the
Services we intend to render.  The cash and non-cash  (common stock) portions of
the agreed upon flat fee shall be payable in  accordance  with the  schedule set
forth on Exhibit A attached  hereto and made a part  hereof.  In  addition,  the
Expenses our Firm incurs in providing  the Services will be shown on our monthly
invoices rendered during the billing period.

                                       1
<PAGE>

     Each of our Clients is assigned a client code, and each separate matter for
that Client is  assigned a separate  matter  code.  In  addition,  disbursements
incurred  by the Firm during  each month are also  recorded.  This data (in this
case expenses and  disbursements)  are then put into a time and billing  system,
and a pro forma statement is produced.  The pro forma statement reflects,  among
other  things,  the Services  performed  as well as the costs and  disbursements
incurred.  The person in charge of billing the Client then reviews the pro forma
statement and, after applying the factors described above, determines the amount
to be charged for the Expenses and  disbursements  incurred  during the relevant
billing  period.  A final  statement for that billing  period is then  prepared,
showing all of the Services performed,  the attorney who performed each task and
the nature and total amount of Expenses and disbursements. As you know, the cost
of doing business is the cost of funds.  We will tender  statements for Expenses
at such intervals as we deem  appropriate,  usually monthly.  We expect that our
statements will be paid in full forthwith and, in any event, each statement will
be paid in full within thirty (30) days after its receipt by Client,  unless, of
course,  other  arrangements  have  been  made in  advance.  The Firm  typically
delivers each statement  within three to five days after the first of each month
via facsimile transmission and will also mail a hard copy of the invoice by U.S.
Postal Service.  Receipt of a statement by facsimile is deemed to be the date of
receipt by the Client.

     5. Retainer. The Firm generally requests that any new Client pay a retainer
to the Firm,  which is a prepayment for Fees, which prepayment will be reflected
as a credit on the first  statement  delivered  to the Client for  Services  and
Expenses.  If the Firm's invoices are ever past due, the Firm reserves the right
to request an additional retainer against which it may charge Fees and Expenses.
In the case of this  engagement,  and specifically as it relates to the Services
described above, our retainer is waived.

     6.  Responsibility  of Client.  It is Client's  responsibility to cooperate
fully with the Firm in its work by, among other things,  providing the Firm with
all requested  information  and making any of its employees or other  affiliated
persons reasonably available for consultations and interviews upon request.

     7. Discharge and Withdrawal. Client may discharge the Firm at any time. The
Firm may withdraw with Client's consent or for good cause.  Good cause includes,
but is not limited to, any breach by Client of this Agreement  (e.g.  failure to
make timely  payment of Fees and Expenses),  Client's  refusal to cooperate with
the Firm or follow  the  Firm's  advice  on a  material  matter,  or any fact or
circumstance that would render the Firm's continuing representation undesirable,
unlawful or unethical.  It is  acknowledged  by the Client that Gregory  Bartko,
Esq. also serves as the chief  executive  officer and a registered  principal of
Capstone  Partners,  L.C.,  an  NASD-member  broker  dealer  that is  acting  as
placement  agent on the offer and sale of the Client's  securities  that are the
subject of the SB-2 registration  statement.  As a result,  Mr. Bartko may, from
time to time,  have  duties and  responsibilities  to  Capstone  Partners,  L.C.
separate and distinct from his duties and responsibilities as special securities
counsel to the Client.  For this  reason,  each party to this  Agreement  hereby
acknowledges  this  potential  conflict  of  duties  and  reserves  the right to
terminate this Agreement,  or in the case of the Client,  to discharge the Firm,
in the event that Mr. Bartko's duties as an affiliate of Capstone Partners, L.C.
become in conflict with his duties and  responsibilities  as special  securities
counsel to the Client.

                                       2
<PAGE>

     8.  Attorney's  Fees. In the event of non-payment of Fees and/or  Expenses,
and/or upon discharge or withdrawal, the Firm may bring an action against Client
to collect any unpaid Fees and Expenses.

     9.  Arbitration  of Disputes.  The Firm seldom has  disagreements  with its
Clients,   but  some   occasionally   occur.  We  desire  to  resolve  any  such
disagreements through amicable discussion;  unfortunately,  such disputes cannot
always be resolved in that way. Our experience is that, in such  situations,  it
is in the  interest of both the Client and the Firm that the dispute be resolved
through binding  arbitration  rather that by legal action in the courts. To that
end, Client and the firm hereby agree that any and all disputes arising pursuant
to any of the terms of this  Agreement or which relate in any manner  whatsoever
to the  Services  provided by the Firm to Client  which  cannot be resolved in a
reasonable time by discussion  between the Firm and Client shall be submitted to
binding  arbitration,  pursuant  to the  Federal  Arbitration  Act,  before  the
American Arbitration Association pursuant to its then existing rules. Client and
the Firm also  specifically  agree that the prevailing party in such arbitration
and/or any related court  proceeding  shall be awarded its reasonable  costs and
attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the dispute.

     10. Other Matters.  I regret the necessity of the above extensive  coverage
of Fees, Expenses,  and our mutual  responsibilities,  and I realize that it may
seem unduly commercial. However, we have found that stating such matters clearly
at the outset of our  representation  aids the development of good relationships
with our clients and avoids future misunderstandings.

     If you find the foregoing to be in order, please indicate your agreement on
behalf of American Fire Retardant  Corporation by signing the attached photocopy
and returning same to my attention.

     Throughout  our  relationship,  I want you to be satisfied with our Fees as
well as the  professional  services  that we perform on behalf of American  Fire
Retardant Corporation.  Accordingly,  I invite and encourage your prompt inquiry
to me personally if you ever have any questions or concerns regarding either our
Services or the Fees.

CLIENT HAS REVIEWED, UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES TO THE TERMS SET FORTH IN THIS
AGREEMENT.

                                   -----------

1. Cash Fee:
   ---------

     Of the  total  flat  fee,  $35,000  shall be  payable  to the Firm in cash.
Payments of $5,000 every two weeks (14 calendar days)  commencing on the date of
this  Agreement  shall be made to the Firm  until a total cash fee of $35,000 is
paid.  The first  cash  payment  of  $5,000  shall be  payable  at the time this
Agreement is executed.

2. Stock Fee:
   ----------

     The balance of the flat fee shall consist of non-cash  consideration  equal
to a number of shares of the Client's common stock to be agreed upon between the
Firm and the Client as the Services are rendered (the "Stock Fee"), and shall be
deliverable  to the Firm no later than 15 days after the Securities and Exchange
Commission  ("SEC")  enters  its  order  declaring  the  Company's  registration
statement to be filed on Form SB-2 to be  effective,  or as otherwise  agreed by
these  parties.  The Stock Fee shall be  determined  by the average  closing bid
price of the Company's common stock as quoted in the over-the-counter electronic
bulletin board  maintained by the NASD for the three trading days after the date
that the SEC declares the SB-2 registration  statement effective,  not including
the date of  effectiveness.  The Stock  Fee  shall be in the form of  restricted
common  stock  of the  Company,  but  such  shares  shall  be  subject  to  "S-8
Registration Rights" covering the number of shares in the Stock Fee.

     The  Client  and the  Firm  shall  arrange  for the  filing  of a Form  S-8
registration  statement for the purpose of registering the Stock Fee for resale.
The Firm shall prepare the S-8  registration  statement for no additional  legal
fees.Exhibit 4.5

                          AMERICAN FIRE RETARDANT CORP.
                             (A Nevada Corporation)

                      NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     This  Agreement,  effective  as of April 30,  2001 (the "Grant  Date"),  is
between American Fire Retardant Corp., a Nevada corporation ("the Company"), and
Sherry Wilson,  a consultant and service  provider to the Company,  who, for the
purposes of this Agreement only shall be referred to as "Optionee".

     1. Grant of Option.  The  Company  grants to Optionee an option to purchase
Two Hundred Fifty Thousand  (250,000) shares of the Common Stock of the Company,
$0.001 par value, (the "Shares"),  on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement.

     2.  Purchase  Price.  The  Purchase  Price of the  Shares  to be  purchased
pursuant to this option shall be equal to the  compensation  and consulting fees
payable to the Optionee pursuant to the Consulting Agreement entered into by and
between the Company and the  Optionee  and which is dated as of April 30,  2001,
the value of which services have been determined to be no less than  eighty-five
percent (85%) of the fair market value of the Shares on the date of grant.

     3.  Vesting.  Optionee's  right to  exercise  the  option  granted  in this
Agreement shall vest and become exercisable as follows:

          Vesting Date             Options Vested    Percent of Options
          ---------------------------------------------------------------------
          April 30, 2001           250,000 shares        100%

     Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the option shall immediately become
exercisable  in full in the  event  that  (i) the  shareholders  of the  Company
approve  a  dissolution  or  liquidation  of the  Company  or a  sale  of all or
substantially  all of the  Company's  assets to  another  entity;  (ii) a tender
within the  meaning of Section 14 of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as
amended,  is made for five  percent  (5%) or more of the  Company's  outstanding
capital stock by any person other than the Company or an affiliate; or (iii) the
Company effects an underwritten  public offering of its securities pursuant to a
registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933. This option shall
be subject to  termination  before its date of expiration as provided in Section
7.2.

     4. The Company's  2001 Stock Option Plan.  This option is not being granted
pursuant  to  the   Company's   2001  Stock  Option  Plan   ("Plan"),   but  the
interpretation  of this Agreement  shall be consistent with  interpretations  of
options  granted  under the  Plan.  In the event of any  conflict  between  this
Agreement and the Plan, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

     5. No Transfer or  Assignment  of Option.  Except as otherwise  provided in
this Agreement, this option and the rights and privileges conferred hereby shall
not be transferred,  assigned,  pledged,  or hypothecated in any way (whether by
operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to sale under execution,
attachment,  or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer,  assign,  pledge,
hypothecate,  or otherwise  dispose of this option, or of any right or privilege
conferred  hereby,  contrary to the  provisions of this  Agreement,  or upon any
attempted  sale under any  execution,  attachment,  or similar  process upon the
rights  and  privileges  conferred  hereby,  this  option  and  the  rights  and
privileges conferred hereby shall immediately become null and void.

                                       1
<PAGE>
     6. Method of Exercise.

     6.1 Notice.  Optionee may exercise this option by giving  written notice to
the Company  pursuant to Section  10.9 by delivery of an Exercise  Notice in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Exercise  Notice"),  which shall specify
the  election to  exercise  this option and the number of Shares for which it is
being exercised; provided, however, that no exercise for fractional Shares shall
be  permitted,  and Optionee  may not exercise  options to acquire more than two
hundred and fifty thousand (250,000) Shares during any calendar year. The notice
shall be signed by Optionee.

     6.2 Exercise  Price For This Option.  The Company hereby  acknowledges  and
agrees that the consideration to be paid or delivered to the Company at the time
of exercise of all or a portion of this option, has heretofore been sufficiently
delivered  and  provided to the Company and will  continue to be provided to the
Company in accordance with the Consulting  Agreement entered into by the Company
and the Optionee  dated April 30, 2001.  No  additional  cash  consideration  or
services,  except as provided for in the Consulting  Agreement,  are required by
the Optionee at the time of exercise of this option or any part thereof.

     6.3 Issuance of Shares.  After  receiving a proper notice of exercise,  the
Company shall issue a certificate  or  certificates  for the Shares to Optionee,
registered in Optionee's  name (or in Optionee's name and the name of Optionee's
spouse as community property or as joint tenants with a right of survivorship).

     7. Term and Expiration.

     7.1 Term.  This option,  if it has not expired earlier under the provisions
of Section 7.2,  shall expire in all events on the seventh (7th)  anniversary of
the effective date of this Agreement.

     7.2 Termination of Option. The option granted under this Agreement,  to the
extent that it has not been exercised,  shall terminate at the following  times:
In the event of  Optionee's  death,  the option shall  terminate  six (6) months
after the date of death. If Optionee's affiliation with the Company ends because
Optionee becomes  disabled,  the option shall terminate six (6) months after the
date on which Optionee's  affiliation ends. If Optionee voluntarily resigns from
their  position,  the option  shall  terminate  one (1) month  after the date of
resignation.  If  Optionee's  affiliation  with the Company is terminated by the
Company for reasons other than cause,  the option shall  terminate one (1) month
after the date of said termination.  If Optionee's  affiliation with the Company
is terminated by the Company for cause, the option shall terminate one (1) month
after the date of said termination.  If the Optionee is receiving the option due
to their  affiliation  with a subsidiary  of the  Company,  which ceases to be a
subsidiary  of the Company for any reason,  the option shall  terminate  one (1)
month after the date on which the  subsidiary  ceases to be a subsidiary  of the
Company.

     8. Legality of Initial Issuance.

     8.1  Compliance  with  Securities  Laws. No Shares shall be issued upon the
exercise of this option  unless and until the  Company has  determined  that all
applicable provisions of state and federal securities laws have been satisfied.

     8.2 Optionee's Representations.  In the event that the Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the time this Option
is exercised, the Optionee shall, if required by the Company,  concurrently with
the exercise of all or any portion of this Option, deliver to the Company his or
her Investment Representation Statement in the form satisfactory to the Company.

<PAGE>
     9. Capital Adjustments.

     9.1 The Company's Freedom to Act. The existence of this Agreement shall not
affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its  shareholders to make
or authorize  any or all  adjustments,  recapitalizations,  reorganizations,  or
other changes in the Company's capital structure or its business,  or any merger
or consolidation of the Company or any issue of bonds, debentures,  or preferred
or  preference  stocks  affecting  the Shares or the rights  thereof,  or of any
rights,  options,  or warrants to purchase any capital stock of the Company,  or
the  dissolution or  liquidation of the Company,  any sale or transfer of all or
any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceedings of
the Company, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

     9.2  Adjustment of Optioned  Shares.  The Shares with respect to which this
option is granted are Shares of the Company as presently constituted, but if and
whenever, prior to the delivery by the Company of all of the Shares with respect
to which these options are granted,  the Company  shall effect a subdivision  or
consolidation  of the Shares or other  capital  readjustment,  the  payment of a
stock  dividend,  or other  increase  or  reduction  in the number of the Shares
outstanding  without receiving  compensation  therefore in money,  services,  or
property,  the number of the Shares then remaining  subject to option  hereunder
shall (i) in the event of an increase in the number of  outstanding  Shares,  be
proportionately increased, and the cash consideration payable per Share shall be
proportionately  reduced;  and (ii) in the event of a reduction in the number of
outstanding  Shares,  be  proportionately  reduced,  and the cash  consideration
payable per Share shall be proportionately increased.

     10. Miscellaneous Provisions.

     10.1 Withholding Taxes. In the event that the Company determines that it is
required to withhold federal, state, or local tax as a result of the exercise of
this option, Optionee, as a condition to the exercise of this option, shall make
arrangements satisfactory to the Company to enable it to satisfy all withholding
requirements.

         10.2 No Rights as a Shareholder. Optionee shall have no rights as a
shareholder with respect to any Shares subject to this option until the Shares
have been issued in the name of Optionee.

     10.3 No Employment Rights.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as
giving  Optionee the right to be retained as an employee or a consultant  of the
Company or be construed as any offer of employment or any right thereto.

     10.4 Tax Election.  Under  Section 83 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986
(the "Code"),  as a general rule the excess, if any, of the fair market value of
the  Shares  on the date the risk of  forfeiture  lapses  ("Vesting"),  over the
amount  paid for the  Shares,  is  taxed as  ordinary  income  to the  optionee.
Optionee  acknowledges  that to the extent the Shares have not Vested,  Optionee
may elect to be taxed at the time the Shares are purchased  rather than when the
Shares  Vest by filing  with the  Internal  Revenue  Service an  election  under
Section 83(b) of the Code within thirty (30) days of the date of purchase of the
Shares.  Assuming  the  option  price is equal to the fair  market  value of the
Shares at the time of purchase,  if the Shares have not Vested, the election may
be  desirable  in order to avoid  potential  future  adverse  tax  consequences.
Optionee  acknowledges  that Optionee's  failure to make this filing in a timely
manner may result in  Optionee's  recognition  of ordinary  income as the Shares

                                       3
<PAGE>
become Vested,  in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the
Shares on the date of Vesting over the option price.  OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
IT IS THEIR SOLE AND  EXCLUSIVE  RESPONSIBILITY  TO FILE IN A TIMELY  MANNER ANY
ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), AND THAT THE COMPANY SHALL BEAR NO  RESPONSIBILITY
WHATSOEVER FOR THAT FILING.  Optionee  shall  promptly  deliver to the Company a
copy of any tax election relating to the treatment of the Shares under the Code.

     10.5 Further Assurances. Each party to this Agreement agrees to perform any
and all  further  acts  and to  execute  and  deliver  any  documents  that  may
reasonably be necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.

         10.6 Attorneys' Fees. In any legal action or other proceeding brought
by either party to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs.

     10.7  Confidentiality.  Optionee agrees and acknowledges that the terms and
conditions of this Agreement,  including without limitation the number of Shares
for which  options have been granted,  are  confidential.  Optionee  agrees that
Optionee will not disclose these terms and conditions to any third party, except
to  Optionee's  financial or legal  advisors,  tax  preparer or family  members,
unless such disclosure is required by law.

     10.8 Governing Law. The Agreement,  and all determinations made and actions
taken pursuant hereto,  to the extent not otherwise  governed by the Code or the
securities laws of the United States,  shall be governed by the law of the State
of California.

     10.9 Notices.  Any notice or other  communication under this Agreement must
be in writing,  and shall be effective  upon  delivery by hand;  upon  facsimile
transmission  to either party at the number  provided below for that party,  but
only  upon  receipt  by the  transmitting  party of a  written  confirmation  of
receipt;  or three (3) business  days after  deposit in the United  States mail,
postage  prepaid,  certified or  registered,  and addressed to the Company or to
Optionee at the  corresponding  address below.  Each party shall be obligated to
notify the other in writing of any  change in that  party's  address.  Notice of
change of address  shall be  effective  only when done in  accordance  with this
Section.

     10.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement,  together with those documents that
are referenced in the  Agreement,  are intended to be the final,  complete,  and
exclusive  statement  of the terms of the  agreement  between  Optionee  and the
Company  regarding  the  subject  matter  of  this  Agreement.   This  Agreement
supersedes all other prior agreements,  communications,  and statements, whether
written or oral,  express or implied,  pertaining to that subject  matter.  This
Agreement may not be  contradicted  by evidence of any prior or  contemporaneous
statements  or  agreements,  oral  or  written,  and  may  not be  explained  or
supplemented by evidence of consistent additional terms.

     10.11 Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except in a
writing signed by both parties.

     10.12  Successors  and  Assigns.  Optionee  agrees that he will not assign,
sell,  transfer,  delegate,  or otherwise  dispose of,  whether  voluntarily  or
involuntarily,  or by  operation of law,  any rights or  obligations  under this
Agreement,  except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.  Any such purported
assignment,  sale, transfer,  delegation, or other disposition shall be null and
void.  Subject to the  limitations  set forth in this  Agreement,  the Agreement

                                       4
<PAGE>
shall be binding on and inure to the  benefit of the  successors  and assigns of
