                                                                    EXHIBIT 4.1

                           GLOBAL ASSET HOLDINGS, INC.

                             2001 Stock Option Plan

         1. Purpose of the Plan. The Global Asset Holdings, Inc. 2001 Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan") is intended to advance the interests of Global Asset
Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Company") and its related entity by
inducing persons of ability and potential to join and remain with the Company
and its related entities by encouraging and enabling employees and other key
persons and other to acquire proprietary interests in the Company, and by
providing the participating persons with an additional incentive to promote the
success of the Company. This is accomplished by providing for the granting of
"Options" to Eligible Persons as hereinafter defined. Such options may either be
(i) options intended to meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") ("Incentive Stock Options") and (ii)
"Non-statutory Stock Options" or Non-Qualified Option, which are options which
do not meet the requirements of Section 422.

         2. Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Board of
Directors of the Company or, to the extent provided herein by the board of
directors, by a committee consisting of at least two persons chosen by the Board
of Directors. Unless otherwise indicated by the context, the term "Committee"
shall refer to the board of directors or such committee, or both to the extent
certain powers are retained by the board of directors herewith in connection
with the appointment of such Committee. Except as herein specifically provided,
the interpretation and construction by the Committee of any provision of the
Plan or of any Option granted under it shall be final and conclusive. The
receipt of Options by Directors, or any members of the Committee, shall not
preclude their vote on any matters in connection with the administration or
interpretation of the Plan, except as otherwise provided by law.

         3. Shares Subject to the Plan. The capital stock subject to grant under
the Plan shall be shares of the Company's common stock, $.001 par value (the
"Common Stock"), whether authorized but unissued or held in the Company's
treasury or shares purchased from stockholders expressly for use under the Plan.
The maximum number of shares of Common Stock, which may be issued pursuant to
Options granted under the Plan, shall not exceed 4,000,000 shares, subject to
adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 hereof. The Company
shall at all times while the Plan is in force reserve such number of shares of
Common Stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of all
outstanding Options granted under the Plan. In the event any Option granted
under the Plan shall expire or terminate for any reason without having been
exercised in full or shall cease for any reason to be exercisable in whole or in
part, the unpurchased shares subject thereto shall again be available for
Options under the Plan.

<PAGE>

         5. Grant of Options

                  (a) Subject to the provisions hereof, the Committee shall from
time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion determine consistent with the
Plan:

                           (i)      who is an Eligible Person;

                           (ii)     which Eligible Person is to b (ii) awarded
                                    an option and the number of shares to be
                                    subject to such Options, and whether such
                                    Options are to be Incentive Stock Options or
                                    Non-Qualified Options; and

                           (iii)    all the terms and conditions of such
                                    Options, consistent with this Plan.

                  (b) Making such determination pursuant to paragraph 3(a), the
Committee shall have sole and absolute discretion and shall be free to make
non-uniform and selective determination based upon such factors as it deems
relevant in its sole discretion.

         6. Terms of Options

                  (a) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee with respect
to Non- Qualified Options, the price of the shares subject to each Option shall
be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date such
Option is granted; provided, however, that, in the case of an Incentive Stock
Option, the price per share shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value
of such shares on the date such Option is granted if such Option is granted to
an individual then owning (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code)
more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company or any Subsidiary.

                  (b) Each Option granted hereunder may be subject to such
vesting schedule (which may be cumulative or non-cumulative), conditions,
restrictions and other provisions as the Committee shall, in its sole and
absolute discretion, deem necessary or appropriate, which determinations may be
non-uniform and selective and based upon such factors as it deems relevant in
its sole and absolute discretion. The Committee shall have the right to
accelerate the vesting of any outstanding Incentive Stock Option, or any portion
thereof, at any time and from time to time, and upon such terms and conditions,
as it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion.

                  (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, with
respect to an Incentive Stock Option to the extent that the aggregate fair
market value (determined at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted) of
the shares of the Company's stock are exercisable by any Optionee for the first
time by such Optionee during any calendar year (under this Plan and all other
incentive stock option plans of the Company, any Subsidiary and any Parent
Corporation) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified
Options. For purposes of this Section, Options shall be taken into account in
the order in which they were granted.

<PAGE>

                  (d) In consideration of the granting of an Option, the
Committee may require that the Optionee agree to remain in the employ of or
otherwise provide services to the Company, a Parent Corporation or a Subsidiary
for a period of one or more years after such Option is granted. Nothing in this
Plan or in any Stock Option Agreement hereunder shall confer upon any Optionee
any right to continue in the employ or otherwise as an Eligible Participant of
the Company or any Subsidiary or Related Entity or shall interfere with or
restrict in any way the rights of the Company or any Subsidiary or Related
Entity, all of which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge any
Optionee to terminate the services of Option at any time for any reason
whatsoever, with or without cause.

                  (e) No Option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable
after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date of its grant. However, if
an Incentive Stock Option is granted to an individual who owns, at the time the
Incentive Stock Option is granted, more than ten percent (10%) of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of a Subsidiary,
such Incentive Stock Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of
five (5) years from the date of its grant. Every Incentive Stock Option granted
under the Plan shall be subject to earlier termination as expressly provided in
Sections 10 and 15(c) hereof.

                  (f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan no
Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to individuals other than as provided in
the Code at the time of grant and the terms thereof shall be consistent with the
requirements of the Code.

         7. Stock Option Agreement. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be
authorized by the Committee and shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement,
which shall be executed by the Company and by the person to whom such Option is
granted. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify the number of shares of Common
Stock as to which any Option is granted, the period during which the Option is
exercisable and the option price per share thereof. Notwithstanding any other
provision herein the terms of a Stock Option Agreement intended to be an
Incentive Stock Option shall comply in all respects with the Code at the time of
grant.

         8. Market Value. For purposes of the Plan fair market value shall be
determined by the or the Committee unless another reasonable method for
determining fair market value is specified by the Committee, the closing sale
price of a share of Common Stock as reported for the trading date next preceding
the date in question shall be fair market value.

         9. Rights of Option Holders. The holder of any Option granted under the
Plan shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares
covered by his Option until such shares shall be issued to him upon the exercise
of his Option.

         10. Transferability. Except as otherwise provided by the Board of
Directors, no Option granted under the Plan shall be transferable by the
individual to whom it was granted otherwise than by will or the laws of descent
and distribution, and, during the lifetime of such individual, shall not be
exercisable by any other person.

<PAGE>

         11. Termination of Eligible Services or Death.

         (a)      (i)      Except as otherwise provided herein, if an Optionee
                           ceases to provide Eligible Services, any Options
                           hereunder shall terminate forthwith. If an Option
                           terminates because Optionee ceases to provide
                           Eligible Services as a result of the Optionee's
                           involuntary termination other than for cause this
                           Option may nevertheless be exercised at any time
                           within three months after such termination or such
                           longer term as provided by the Committee. For
                           purposes of this Plan, termination as a result of
                           retirement pursuant to a plan adopted by the Company
                           or on the normal retirement date prescribed from time
                           to time by the Company shall be deemed to be an
                           involuntary termination of such individual's Eligible
                           Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee
                           may provide for the continued exercise of
                           Non-Qualified Options after termination of Eligible
                           Services for reasons other than cause..

                  (ii)     An Option shall not terminate in the event an
                           Optionee ceases to provide Eligible Services to an
                           entity which the Company has an interest as defined
                           herein because the Company ceases to have an interest
                           in such an entity for any reason. In such event, the
                           Option may be exercised by Optionee or Optionee's
                           estate at any time thereafter.

                  (b) If the holder of an Option under the Plan dies (i) while
providing Eligible Services, or (ii) within three months after the Optionee
ceases to provide Eligible Services as a result of an involuntary termination
other than for cause then such Option may, subject to the provisions hereof be
exercised by the estate of an Optionee within one year after death unless
pursuant to the terms of the Stock Option Agreement reflecting such Options the
decreased Optionee could have exercised the Options for a longer period of time.

                  (c) If the holder of an Option under the Plan ceased providing
Eligible Services because of permanent and total disability, then such Option
may, subject to the provisions herein, be exercised at any time within one year
after such termination of Eligible Services pursuant to the terms of the Stock
Option Agreement reflecting such Options unless the disabled Optionee could have
exercised the Options for a longer period of time.

                  (d) Except as otherwise provided herein an Option may be
exercised pursuant to this Plan only to the extent that an Optionee was entitled
to otherwise exercise the Option at the time of a termination of Eligible
Services, or death, and in any event may not be exercised after the Termination
Date.

                  (e) For purposes of this Plan, any employment relationship of
an employee of the Company or of a subsidiary corporation of the Company or
other entity will be treated as continuing intact while he is on military or
sick leave or other bona fide leave or absence (such as temporary employment by
the Government) if such leave does not exceed ninety days, if longer, so long as
his right to re-employment is guaranteed either by statute or by contract.

<PAGE>

                  12. Exercise of Options.

                  (a) Unless otherwise provided in the Stock Option Agreement,
any Option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable in whole at any time, or
in part from time to time, prior to expiration. The Board of Directors, in its
absolute discretion, may provide in any Stock Option Agreement that the exercise
of any Option granted under the Plan shall be subject (i) to such condition or
conditions as it may impose, including, but not limited to, a condition that the
holder thereof provide Eligible Services for such period or periods of time from
the date of grant of the Option, as the Board of Directors or the Committee, in
its absolute discretion, shall determine; and (ii) to such limitations as it may
impose, including, but not limited to, a limitation that the aggregate fair
market value of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options
are exercisable for the first time by any employee during any calendar year
(under all plans of the Company and its parent and subsidiary corporations)
shall not exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).

                  (b An Option granted under the Plan shall be exercised by the
delivery by the holder thereof to the Company at its principal office (attention
of the Secretary or other person designated by the Committee) of written notice
of the number of shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised.
Such notice shall be accompanied by payment of the full option price of such
shares, and payment of such option price shall be made by the holder's delivery
of his check payable to the order of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 10 or any other terms, provisions or conditions of
the Plan, upon approval by the full Board of Directors, shares acquired pursuant
to the exercise of any Option may be paid for in full at the time of exercise by
(i) the surrender of shares of Common Stock of the Company held by or for the
account of the optionee or subject to a Stock Option Agreement at the time of
exercise to the extent, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option permitted by
subsection (c)(5) of Section 422 of the Code and, with respect to any person who
is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act"), to the extent permitted by Section 16(b) of
that Act and the Rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, without
liability to the Company; (ii) the issuance of a promissory note in compliance
with law for a portion of the purchase price; or (iii) such other methods
approved by the Board of Directors, in compliance with law and provided that
such methods do not disqualify Incentive Stock Options from being treated as
such and comply with the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Act . In the case of
(i) above, the fair market value of the surrendered shares shall be determined
by the Committee as of the date of exercise as provided herein.

         13. Adjustment Upon Change in Capitalization.

                  (a) In the event that the outstanding Common Stock is
hereafter changed by reason of reorganization, merger, consolidation,
recapitalization, reclassification, stock split up, combination of shares, stock
dividends or the like, an appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Board of
Directors in the aggregate number of shares available under the Plan and in the
number of shares and option price per share subject to outstanding Options. Any
adjustment in the number of shares shall apply proportionately to only the
unexercised portion of the Option granted hereunder. If fractions of a share
would result from any such adjustment, the adjustment shall be revised to the
next lower whole number of shares.

<PAGE>

                  (b) If the Company shall be reorganized, consolidated or
merged with another corporation, or if all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company shall be sold or exchanged, the holder of an Option shall be
entitled to receive upon the exercise of such Option (the timing of which, as
set forth in Section 11, is in the discretion of the Board of Directors) the
same number and kind of shares of stock or the same amount of property, cash or
securities as the holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening
of any such corporate event as if the holder had been, immediately prior to such
event, the holder of the number of shares covered by such Option; provided,
however, that in such event the Board of Directors shall have the discretionary
power to take any action necessary or appropriate to prevent any Incentive Stock
Option granted hereunder from being disqualified as an "incentive stock option"
under the then existing provisions of the Code or any law amendatory thereof or
supplemental thereto.

         14. Further Conditions of Exercise.

                  (a) Unless prior to the exercise of an Option the shares
issuable upon such exercise have been registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
notice of exercise shall be accompanied by a representation or agreement of the
individual exercising the Option to the Company to the effect that such shares
are being acquired for investment and not with a view to the resale or
distribution thereof or such other documentation as may be required by the
Company unless in the opinion of counsel to the Company such representation,
agreement or documentation is not necessary to comply with such Act.

                  (b) The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Common
Stock until it has been listed on each securities exchange on which the Common
Stock may then be listed or until there has been qualification under or
compliance with such state or federal laws, rules or regulations as the Company
may deem applicable. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such
listing, qualifications and compliance.

         15. Effectiveness of the Plan. The Plan was originally adopted by the
Board of Directors on November 30, 2001. The Plan shall be subject to approval
by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock
of the Company present in person or by proxy at a meeting of stockholders of the
Company convened for such purposes, or by written consent, prior to date, which
is within one year of adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors. In the
event such stockholder approval is withheld or otherwise not received on or
before the latter date, the Plan and all Options, which may have been granted
thereunder shall become null and void.

         16. Termination, Modification and Amendment.

                  (a) The Plan (but not Options previously granted under the
Plan) shall terminate on November 30, 2011, which is within ten years of the
date of its adoption by the Board of Directors, or sooner as hereinafter
provided, and no Option shall be granted after the termination of the Plan.

<PAGE>

                  (b) The Plan may from time to time be terminated, modified or
amended by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of capital stock of the Company present in person or by proxy at a
meeting of stockholders of the Company convened for such purpose.

                  (c) The Board of Directors may at any time, on or before the
termination date referred to in Section 15(a) hereof, terminate the Plan, or
from time to time make such modifications or amendments to the Plan as it may
deem advisable; provided, however, that the Board of Directors shall not,
without approval by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding wholly owned shares of the Company present in person or by proxy
increase (except as provided by Section 12 hereof) the maximum number of shares
as to which Incentive Stock Options may be granted, or change the designation of
the employees or class of employees eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options.

                  (d) No termination, modification or amendment of the Plan may,
without the consent of the individual to whom an Option shall have been
previously granted, adversely affect the rights conferred by such Option.

         17. Not a Contract of Employment. Nothing contained in the Plan or in
any Stock Option Agreement executed pursuant hereto shall be deemed to confer
upon any individual to whom an Option is or may be granted hereunder any right
to remain in the employ or service of the Company or a subsidiary corporation of
the Company.

         18. Indemnification of Board of Directors or Committee. In addition to
such other rights of indemnification as they may have, the members of the Board
of Directors or the Committee, as the case may be, shall be indemnified by the
Company to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law 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 a party by reason of any action
taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any rights
granted thereunder and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof or
paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment of any such action, suit or
proceeding, except a judgment based upon a finding of bad faith. Upon the
institution of any such action, suit or proceeding, the member or members of the
Board of Directors or the Committee, as the case may be, shall notify the
Company in writing, giving the Company an opportunity at its own cost to defend
the same before such member or members undertake to defend the same on their own
behalf.

         19. Definitions. For purposes of the Plan, the terms "parent
corporation" and "subsidiary corporation" shall have the same meanings as set
forth in Sections 425(e) and 425(f) of the Code, respectively, and the masculine
shall include the feminine and the neuter as the context requires.

         20. Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by, and all questions
arising hereunder shall be determined in accordance with, the laws of the State
of Florida.
