ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Colorado Business Corporation Act (the "Act") provides that a corporation
may indemnify a director or officer of the corporation and to purchase and
maintain liability insurance for those persons as, and to the extent permitted
by the Act.
The Company's Bylaws limits directors' liability for monetary damages for
breaches of their duties of care owed the Company to the fullest extent
permitted by Colorado law.
Article 109 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act: (i) gives Colorado
corporations broad powers to indemnify their present and former directors and
officers and those of affiliated corporations against expenses (including
attorneys fees) judgments, fines and other amounts paid in settlement actually
and reasonably incurred in connection with threatened, pending or completed
actions, suits, or proceedings to which they are parties or are threatened to
be made parties by reason of being or having been such directors or officers,
subject to specified conditions and exclusions; (ii) gives an officer or
director who successfully defends an action the right to be so indemnified;
and (iii) permits a corporation to buy directors' and officers' liability
insurance.
As permitted by Colorado law, the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation
provide that the Registrant will indemnify its directors and officers against
expenses and liabilities they incur to defend, settle, or satisfy any civil or
criminal action brought against them on account of their being or having been
directors or officers unless, in any such action, they are adjudged to have
acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Registrant's Articles
of Incorporation also exclude personal liability for its directors for monetary
damages based upon any violation of their fiduciary duties as directors,
except as to liability for any breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, acts which constitute improper distributions to shareholders
in violation of Section 7-106-401 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act,
or any transaction from which a director receives an improper personal benefit.
This exclusion of liability does not limit any right which a director may have
to be indemnified and does not affect any director's liability under federal
or applicable state securities laws.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been
informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such Act and is
therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned hereby undertakes:
(1)(a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement
or any material change to such information in the registration
statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(a)(ii) do not apply if the
Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained
in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement.
<PAGE> 6
(b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
benefit offering thereof.
(2) To remove from registration by means of a post effective amendment any of
the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
Plan.
(3) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act pursuant to section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial benefit offering thereof.
(4) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be
delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or
given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by
reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the
requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by
Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver,
or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or
given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by
reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.
(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant 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 registrant 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

Re: S-8 for Oak Brook Capital I, Inc.
Gentlemen:
At your request, we have examined the form of Registration Statement
No. 000-24987 which you are filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement"), in connection with the
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 2,105,200 shares
of your Common Stock (the "Stock") issuable pursuant to a 1998 Consultation
Services Agreement Plan and a 1999 Consultation Services Agreement Plan
(collectively the "Plan").
In rendering the following opinion, we have examined and relied only
upon the documents, and certificates of officers and directors of the Company
as are specifically described below. In our examination, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity, accuracy and completeness of
the documents submitted to me as originals, and the conformity with the
original documents of all documents submitted to me as copies. Our
examination was limited to the following documents and not others:
1.Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended to date;
2.Bylaws of the Company, as amended to date;
3.Certified Resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company
authorizing the Plan and the issuance of the Stock;
4.The Registration Statements; and
5.The Form of Plan.
We have not undertaken, nor do we intend to undertake, any independent

of accuracy of such documents and records.

Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Stock issued under the
Plan, subject to effectiveness of the Registration Statement and compliance
with applicable blue sky laws, and execution of the Plan in the form referred
to herein, when issued under the Plan, has been duly and validly authorized,
fully paid and non-assessable.
We express no opinion as to compliance with the securities or "blue sky"
laws of any state in which the Stock is proposed to be offered and sold or as
to the effect, if any, which non-compliance with such laws might have on
the validity of issuance of the Stock.
We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to any filing made
with the Securities and Exchange Commission or under any state or other
jurisdiction's securities act for the purpose of registering, qualifying or
establishing eligibility for an exemption from registration or qualification
of the Stock described in the Registration Statement in connection with the
offering described therein. Other than as provided in the preceding sentence,
this opinion (i) is addressed solely to you, (ii) may not be relied upon by
any other party, (iii) covers only matters of Colorado and federal law and
nothing in this opinion shall be deemed to imply any opinion related to the
laws of any other jurisdiction, (iv) may not be quoted or reproduced or
delivered by you to any other person, and (v) may not be relied upon for any
other purpose whatsoever. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relate to or
constitute an opinion concerning any matters not specifically set forth above.
By giving you this opinion and consent, we do not admit that we are
experts with respect to any part of the Registration Statement or Prospectus
within the meaning of the term "expert" as used in Section 11 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Rules and Regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.
The information set forth herein is as of the date of this letter. I
disclaim any undertaking to advise you of changes which may be brought to my
attention after the effective date of the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,

4. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.

express provisions of this Plan, the Board of Directors shall have full
authority and sole and absolute discretion to interpret this Plan, to prescribe,
amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to it, and to make all other

this Plan. The determination of those eligible to receive Plan Shares shall rest

<PAGE> 14
interpretation and administration of the Plan shall be final and conclusive.

members of the full Board of Directors to administer this Plan.

under this Plan is 1,105,200 shares.
6. PERSONS ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE AWARDS.
Awards may be granted only to Employees or Consultants
7. GRANTS OF AWARDS.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Board of Directors shall have
complete discretion to determine when and to which Employees Awards are to be
granted, and the number of Plan Shares to be Awarded to each
Employee/Consultant. No grant will be made if, in the judgment of the Board
of Directors, such a grant would constitute a public distribution with the
meaning of the Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
8. DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES.
As promptly as practicable after authorizing the grant of an Award, the
Company shall deliver to the person who is the recipient of the award, a

after such shares have been delivered, only in accordance with law and any
transfer restrictions imposed at the time of Award.
<PAGE> 15
10. EMPLOYMENT.
Nothing in this Plan or in the grant of an Award shall confer upon any
Employee/Consultant the right to continue in the employ of the Company nor shall
it interfere with or restrict in any way the lawful rights of the Company to
discharge any Employee/Consultant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with
or without cause.
11. LAWS AND REGULATIONS.
The obligation of the Company to sell and deliver Plan Shares on the
grant of an Award under this Plan shall be subject to the condition that the
Company be satisfied that the sale and delivery thereof will not violate the
Act or any other applicable laws, rules or regulations.
12. WITHHOLDING OF TAXES.
If subject to withholding tax, the Company may require that the Employee
concurrently pay to the Company the entire amount or a portion of any taxes
which the Company is required to withhold by reason of granting an Award, in
such amount as the Company in its discretion may determine. In lieu of part
or all of any such payment, the Employee may elect to have the Company withhold
from the Plan Shares issued hereunder a sufficient number of shares to satisfy
withholding obligations. If the Company becomes required to pay withholding
taxes to any federal, state or other taxing authority as a result of the
granting of an Award, and the Employee fails to provide the Company with the
funds with which to pay that withholding tax, the Company may withhold up to
50% of each payment of salary or bonus to the Employee (which will be in
addition to any required or permitted withholding), until the Company has
been reimbursed for the entire withholding tax it was required to pay in
respect of issuance of any Plan Shares.
If shares pursuant to the plan are issued to a consultant, not a regular
employee under the Internal Revenue Code, such shares shall not be delivered
until a W-2 is received and a Form 1099 shall be issued with delivery
of the shares.
<PAGE> 16
13. RESERVATION OF SHARES.
The stock subject to this Plan shall, at all times, consist of authorized
but unissued shares of Common Stock reacquired or held by the Company equal to
the maximum number of shares the Company may be required to issue on the grant
of Awards under this Plan, and such number of Common Shares hereby is reserved
for such purpose. The Board of Directors may decrease the number of shares
subject to this Plan, but not increase such number, except as a consequence
of a stock split or other reorganization or recapitalization affecting all
Common Shares.
14. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.
The Board of Directors may suspend or terminate this Plan at any time
or from time to time, but no such action shall adversely affect the rights of
a person granted an Award under this Plan prior to that date. Otherwise, this
Plan shall terminate on the earlier of the terminal date stated in Section 3 of
this Plan or the date when all Plan Shares have been issued. The Board of
Directors shall have absolute discretion to amend this Plan, subject to any
limitations expressly set forth herein.
15. DELIVERY OF PLAN.
A copy of this Plan shall be delivered to all participants, together with
a copy of the resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors authorizing
the granting of the Award and establishing the terms, if any of participation,
prior to an Award of Plan Shares.
16. LIABILITY.
No member of the Board of Directors, any committee of directors, or
officers, employees or agents of the Company shall be personally liable for
any action, omission or determination made in good faith in connection with
this Plan.
17. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
The place of administration of the Plan shall be in the State of Colorado,
and the validity, construction, interpretation and effect of this Plan and of
its rules, regulations and rights relating to it, shall be determined solely in
accordance with the laws of such state.
<PAGE> 17
Without amending this Plan, the Board of Directors may issue Plan Shares
to employees of the Company who are foreign nationals or employed outside
the United States, or both, on such terms and conditions different form those
specified in this Plan but consistent with the purpose of this Plan, as it deems
necessary and desirable to create equitable opportunities given differences in
tax laws in other countries.
All expenses of administering this Plan and issuing Plan Shares
shall be borne by the Company.
By signature below, the undersigned officers of the Company hereby
certify that the foregoing is a true and correct copy of the 1998 Consultation

under this Plan is 1,000,000 shares.
6. PERSONS ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE AWARDS.
Awards may be granted only to Employees or Consultants
7. GRANTS OF AWARDS.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Board of Directors shall
have complete discretion to determine when and to which Employees Awards
are to be granted, and the number of Plan Shares to be Awarded to each
Employee/Consultant. No grant will be made if, in the judgment of the Board
of Directors, such a grant would constitute a public distribution with the
meaning of the Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
8. DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES.
As promptly as practicable after authorizing the grant of an Award,
the Company shall deliver to the person who is the recipient of the award, a
certificate or certificates registered in that person's name, representing
the number of Plan Shares that were granted. Unless the Plan Shares have been
registered under the Act, each certificate evidencing Plan Shares shall bear a
legend to indicate that such shares represented by the certificate were issued
in a transaction which was not registered under the Act, and may only be sold
or transferred in a transaction that is registered under the Act or is exempt
from the registration requirements of the Act.
9. ASSIGNABILITY.
No Award of Plan Shares may be assigned. Plan Shares may be assigned
after such shares have been delivered, only in accordance with law and any
transfer restrictions imposed at the time of Award.
10. EMPLOYMENT.
Nothing in this Plan or in the grant of an Award shall confer upon
any Employee/Consultant the right to continue in the employ of the Company nor
shall it interfere with or restrict in any way the lawful rights of the
Company to discharge any Employee/Consultant at any time for any reason
whatsoever, with or without cause.
<PAGE> 21
11. LAWS AND REGULATIONS.
The obligation of the Company to sell and deliver Plan Shares on the
grant of an Award under this Plan shall be subject to the condition that the
Company be satisfied that the sale and delivery thereof will not violate the
Act or any other applicable laws, rules or regulations.
12. WITHHOLDING OF TAXES.
If subject to withholding tax, the Company may require that the Employee
concurrently pay to the Company the entire amount or a portion of any taxes
which the Company is required to withhold by reason of granting an Award, in
such amount as the Company in its discretion may determine. In lieu of part
or all of any such payment, the Employee may elect to have the Company withhold
from the Plan Shares issued hereunder a sufficient number of shares to satisfy
withholding obligations. If the Company becomes required to pay withholding
taxes to any federal, state or other taxing authority as a result of the
granting of an Award, and the Employee fails to provide the Company with the
funds with which to pay that withholding tax, the Company may withhold up to
50% of each payment of salary or bonus to the Employee (which will be in
addition to any required or permitted withholding), until the Company has
been reimbursed for the entire withholding tax it was required to pay in
respect of issuance of any Plan Shares.
If shares pursuant to the plan are issued to a consultant, not a regular
employee under the Internal Revenue Code, such shares shall not be delivered
until a W-2 is received and a Form 1099 shall be issued with delivery
of the shares.
13. RESERVATION OF SHARES.
The stock subject to this Plan shall, at all times, consist of authorized
but unissued shares of Common Stock reacquired or held by the Company equal
to the maximum number of shares the Company may be required to issue on the
grant of Awards under this Plan, and such number of Common Shares hereby is
reserved for such purpose. The Board of Directors may decrease the number of
shares subject to this Plan, but not increase such number, except as a
consequence of a stock split or other reorganization or recapitalization
affecting all Common Shares.
<PAGE> 22
14. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.
The Board of Directors may suspend or terminate this Plan at any time
or from time to time, but no such action shall adversely affect the rights of
a person granted an Award under this Plan prior to that date. Otherwise, this
Plan shall terminate on the earlier of the terminal date stated in Section 3 of
this Plan or the date when all Plan Shares have been issued. The Board of
Directors shall have absolute discretion to amend this Plan, subject to any
limitations expressly set forth herein.
15. DELIVERY OF PLAN.
A copy of this Plan shall be delivered to all participants, together with
a copy of the resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors authorizing
the granting of the Award and establishing the terms, if any of participation,
prior to an Award of Plan Shares.
16. LIABILITY.
No member of the Board of Directors, any committee of directors, or
officers, employees or agents of the Company shall be personally liable for
any action, omission or determination made in good faith in connection with this
Plan.
17. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
The place of administration of the Plan shall be in the State of Colorado,
and the validity, construction, interpretation and effect of this Plan and of
its rules, regulations and rights relating to it, shall be determined solely in
accordance with the laws of such state.
Without amending this Plan, the Board of Directors may issue Plan Shares
to employees of the Company who are foreign nationals or employed outside
the United States, or both, on such terms and conditions different form those
specified in this Plan but consistent with the purpose of this Plan, as it deems
necessary and desirable to create equitable opportunities given differences in
tax laws in other countries.
All expenses of administering this Plan and issuing Plan Shares shall
be borne by the Company.

EXHIBIT 99.1
PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
SAFE HARBOR COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In passing the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the
"Reform Act"), 15 U.S.C.A. Sections 77z-2 and 78u-5 (Supp. 1996), Congress
encouraged public companies to make "forward-looking statements" by creating a
safe harbor to protect companies from securities law liability in connection
with forward-looking statements. AEI Environmental, Inc. ("AEI" or the
"Company") intends to qualify both its written and oral forward-looking
statements for protection under the Reform Act and any other similar safe
harbor provisions.
"Forward-looking statements" are defined by the Reform Act. Generally,
forward-looking statements include expressed expectations of future events and
the assumptions on which the expressed expectations are based. All forward-
looking statements are inherently uncertain as they are based on various
expectations and assumptions concerning future events and they are subject to
numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties which could cause actual
events or results to differ materially from those projected. Due to those
uncertainties and risks, the investment community is urged not to place undue
reliance on written or oral forward-looking statements of AEI. The Company
undertakes no obligation to update or revise this Safe Harbor Compliance
Statement for Forward-Looking Statements (the "Safe Harbor Statement") to
reflect future developments. In addition, AEI undertakes no obligation to
update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions,
the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results
over time.
