conjunction  with  the  Company's  management,  securities  counsel,  investment
bankers and auditors.

     2. In connection  with Trilogy's  activities on the Company's  behalf,  the
Company  will  cooperate  with  Trilogy  and  will  furnish   Trilogy  with  all
information  and data concerning the Company (the  "Information")  which Trilogy
deems  appropriate  and  will  provide  Trilogy  with  access  to the  Company's
officers, directors, employees,  independent accountants, and legal counsel. The
Company  represents and warrants that all Information  made available to Trilogy
by the Company  will,  at all times during the period of  engagement  of Trilogy
hereunder,  will be complete and correct in all  material  respects and will not

necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of
the  circumstances  under which such  statements are made.  The Company  further
represents and warrants that any projections provided by it to Trilogy will have
been prepared in good faith and will be based upon  assumptions  which, in light
of the  circumstances  under which they are made,  are  reasonable.  The Company
acknowledges and agrees that, in rendering its services hereunder,  Trilogy will
be using and relying on the Information without independent verification thereof
by Trilogy or independent  appraisal by Trilogy of any of the Company's  assets.
Trilogy  does not  assume  responsibility  regarding  the  Company . Any  advice
rendered by Trilogy  pursuant to this  Agreement  may not be disclosed  publicly
without our prior written consent.

fully performed therein.  The Company irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of
any court of the State of  California  located  in either  Orange  county or Los

                           INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS

         Ventures-National  Incorporated,  a Utah  corporation  (the  "Company")
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Trilogy Capital Partners Inc. ("Trilogy"),
against any and all losses, claims, damages, obligations,  penalties, judgments,
awards,  liabilities,  costs,  expenses,  and  disbursements  (and  any  and all
actions, suits,  proceedings,  and investigations in respect thereof and any and
all legal and other costs,  expenses,  and  disbursements in giving testimony or
furnishing documents in response to a subpoena or otherwise), including, without
limitation the costs,  expenses,  and  disbursements,  as and when incurred,  of
investigating,  preparing,  or defending any such action, suit,  proceeding,  or
investigation  (whether or not in connection with litigation in which Trilogy is
a party),  directly or indirectly,  caused by, relating to, based upon,  arising
out of, or in  connection  with  Trilogy's  acting for the  Company,  including,
without  limitation,  any act or  omission  by  Trilogy in  connection  with its
acceptance of or the performance or non-performance of its obligations under the
letter agreement dated as of August [__], 2003, between Trilogy and the Company,
as it may be amended  from time to time (the  "Agreement");  provided,  however,
such indemnity agreement shall not apply to any portion of any such loss, claim,
damage,  obligation,  penalty,  judgment,  award,  liability,  cost,  expense,or
disbursement  to the  extent  it is  found  in a final  judgment  by a court  of
competent  jurisdiction  (not  subject  to  further  appeal)  to  have  resulted
primarily and directly from the bad faith or willful misconduct of Trilogy.  The
Company also agrees that Trilogy shall not have any liability (whether direct or
indirect,  in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company for or in connection
with the engagement of Trilogy,  except to the extent that any such liability is
found in a final judgment by a court of competent  jurisdiction  (not subject to
further  appeal) to have  resulted  primarily  and directly  from Trilogy  gross
negligence or willful misconduct.

         These Indemnification  Provisions shall be in addition to any liability
which the Company may otherwise have to Trilogy or the persons indemnified below
in this  sentence and shall extend to the  following:  Trilogy,  its  affiliated
entities, directors, officers, employees, legal counsel, agents, and controlling
persons (within the meaning of the federal  securities  laws). All references to
Trilogy in these  Indemnification  Provisions shall be understood to include any
and all of the foregoing.

         If any action, suit, proceeding,  or investigation is commenced,  as to
which Trilogy  proposes to demand  indemnification,  it shall notify the Company
with reasonable  promptness;  provided,  however, that any failure by Trilogy to
notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from its obligations hereunder.
Trilogy  shall have the right to retain  counsel of its own choice to  represent
it, and the Company  shall pay the fees,  expenses,  and  disbursements  of such
counsel;  and such counsel shall,  to extent  consistent  with its  professional
responsibilities,  cooperate with the Company and any counsel  designated by the
Company.  The Company  shall be liable for any  settlement  of any claim against
Trilogy made with the  Company's  written  consent,  which  consent shall not be
unreasonably  withheld. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent
of Trilogy,  settle or compromise  any claim,  or permit a default or consent to
the  entry  of  any  judgment  in  respect  thereof,   unless  such  settlement,
compromise, or consent includes, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by
the  claimant  to Trilogy of an  unconditional  release  from all  liability  in
respect of such claim.

         In order to provide for just and equitable contribution, if a claim for
indemnification pursuant to these Indemnification  Provisions is made, but it is
found in a final judgment by a court of competent  jurisdiction  (not subject to
further appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, even
though the express  provisions hereof provide for  indemnification in such case,
then the  Company,  on the one  hand,  and  Trilogy,  on the other  hand,  shall
contribute to the losses, claims, damages,  obligations,  penalties,  judgments,
awards, liabilities, costs, expenses, and disbursements to which the indemnified
persons may be subject in accordance with the relative  benefits received by the
Company,  on the one hand, and Trilogy, on the other hand, and also the relative
fault of the  Company,  on the one  hand,  and  Trilogy  on the other  hand,  in
connection  with the  statements,  acts,  or  omissions  which  resulted in such
losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities,
costs,  expenses,  or disbursements  and the relevant  equitable  considerations
shall  also  be   considered.   No  person   found   liable  for  a   fraudulent
misrepresentation  shall be entitled to  contribution  from any person who is no
also found liable for such  fraudulent  misrepresentation.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  Trilogy  shall not be obligated to contribute  any amount  hereunder
that exceeds the amount of fees previously  received by Trilogy  pursuant to the
Agreement.

         Neither  termination  nor  completion  of  the  engagement  of  Trilogy
referred to above shall affect these Indemnification Provisions which shall then
remain operative and in full force and effect.Subj:      American Express Application Approved
