Item 4. Description of Securities

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
provides, in general, that a corporation incorporated under the laws of the
State of Delaware, such as the registrant, 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 (other than a derivative action by or in
the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person 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 enterprise, against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such
person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted
in good faith and in a manner such person 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 such person's
conduct was unlawful. In the case of a derivative action, a Delaware corporation
may indemnify any such person against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense
or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a
manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court in which such
action was brought determines such person is fairly and reasonable entitled to
indemnity for such expenses.
Our certificate of incorporation provides that directors shall not be
personally liable for monetary damages to our company or our stockholders for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability resulting from a
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to our company or our stockholders,
intentional misconduct or willful violation of law, actions or inactions not in
good faith, an unlawful stock purchase or payment of a dividend under Delaware
law, or transactions from which the director derives improper personal benefit.
Such limitation of liability does not affect the availability of equitable
remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. Our certificate of
incorporation also authorizes us to indemnify our officers, directors and other
agents to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law. Our bylaws provide
that the registrant shall indemnify our officers, directors and employees. The
rights to indemnity thereunder continue as to a person who has ceased to be a
director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs, executors, and administrators of the person. In addition, expenses
incurred by a director or officer in defending any action, suit or proceeding by
reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of our company
shall be paid by the registrant unless such officer, director or employee is
adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her
duties.
This means that our certificate of incorporation provides that a
director is not personally liable for monetary damages to us or our stockholders
for breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director. A director will be held
liable for a breach of his or her duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, his
or her intentional misconduct or willful violation of law, actions or in actions
not in good faith, an unlawful stock purchase or payment of a dividend under
Delaware law, or transactions from which the director derives an improper
personal benefit. This limitation of liability does not affect the availability
of equitable remedies against the director including injunctive relief or
rescission. Our certificate of incorporation authorizes us to indemnify our
officers, directors and other agent to the fullest extent permitted under
Delaware law.

contained in periodic reports filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15 (d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement.
(2) That for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendments shall be deemed to

(b) The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that for purposes of

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Company pursuant to the above-described provisions or otherwise, the Company
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities act of 1933 and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Opinion of Counsel - Registration Statement on Form S-8
Gentleman:
I have acted as counsel for Kaire Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"), in
connection with the preparation and filing of the Company's Registration
statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, (the "Registration
Statement"), relating to 15,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $.001
par value, (the "common stock"), issuable pursuant to the Amended 2001 Employee
Compensation Plan.
I have examined the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and the
By-Laws of the company and all amendments thereto, the Registration Statement
and originals, or copies certified to my satisfaction, of such records and
meetings, written actions in lieu of meetings, or resolutions adopted at
meetings, of the directors of the Company, and such other documents and
instruments as in my judgement are necessary or appropriate to enable me to
render the opinions expressed below.
Based on the foregoing examination, I am of the opinion that the shares of
Common Stock issuable with the Plan are duly authorized and, when issued in
accordance with the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
Further, I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
