Pursuant to the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation, By-laws and laws of

each director and each officer, his or her heirs, executors and administra-
tors against expenses reasonably incurred for liabilities incurred by him or
her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding to which her or
she may be made a party by reason of him or her being or having been a direc-
tor or officer of the Corporation, except in relation to matters as to which
he or she shall finally be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding to be
liable for fraud or misconduct. In the event of a settlement before or after
action or suit, indemnification shall be provided only in connection with such
matters covered by the settlement as to which the Corporation is advised by
counsel that the person to be indemnified was not guilty of such fraud or
misconduct. Any right of indemnification set forth in the Articles of
Incorporation do not exclude other rights to which a person indemnified may
be entitled.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to the 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 in the Registration
Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distri-
bution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement.
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
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, as
amended that are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement.
(2) 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 to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities offered at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) 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 offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post
effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to
be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered there-
in, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securi-
ties Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6,
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 success-
ful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such direc-
tor, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its coun-
sel that matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the questions whether such indemnifica-
tion is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

PROSPECTUS
Tyrex Oil Company
The OCC Warrant Agreement
This document constitutes part of a prospectus covering shares of common stock
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").
This document (referred to herein as the "Prospectus") and other documents
discussed below constitute a prospectus which is part of a Registration State-
ment on Form S-8 covering a total of 750,000 shares of common stock (the
"Common Stock") issuable under the OCC Warrant Agreement (the "Plan") with
Tyrex Oil Company, a Wyoming corporation (the "Company").
You, as advisor or consultant to the Company, have been awarded Warrants to
acquire shares of the Company's Common Stock under the Plan as compensation.
The purpose of this Prospectus is to briefly describe the Plan's operation,
your rights and responsibilities, and some likely federal tax consequences,
in relation to the Warrants to acquire common stock. The Warrants to acquire
shares awarded to you under the Plan are sometimes referred to herein as
"Warrant Shares".
No person has been authorized by the Company to give any information or to
make any representation other than as contained in this Prospectus document,
and if given or made, such information or representation must not be relied
upon by you as having been authorized by the Company. Neither the delivery
of this Prospectus nor the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares to you
shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no
change in the Company's affairs since the date of this Prospectus. This
Prospectus speaks only as of its date.
THE WARRANT SHARES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, NOR HAS THE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR
ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A
CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
This Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell securities in any state
or in any other jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make
such an offer in such state or other jurisdiction.
This Prospectus is dated July 15, 1998
DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
General: A maximum of 750,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock are issu-
able under the terms of the Plan, which is the OCC Warrant Agreement with
Tyrex Oil Company, a Wyoming corporation (the "Company"), a copy of which is
attached hereto.
Delivery of Stock or Warrant Certificates: The Company has delivered to One
Capital Corporation the OCC Warrant Agreement representing the number of
shares that may be acquired pursuant to exercise of the Warrants granted to
acquire shares; and further, upon exercise of the Warrants pursuant to the
terms of said agreement, the Company shall deliver to One Capital Corporation,
a certificate or certificates registered in its name, representing the number
of shares that may be acquired pursuant to exercise of the Warrants granted to
acquire shares.
Assignability: An award of Warrants to acquire shares may not be assigned.
The shares themselves may be assigned only after such shares have been issued
and delivered, and only in accordance with law and any transfer restrictions
imposed at the time of award.
Employment not Conferred: Nothing in the Plan or in the award of Warrants
shall confer upon One Capital Corporation the right to continue in the employ
of the Company or an affiliated corporation.
Laws and Regulations: The obligation of the Company to issue and deliver
shares following an exercise of Warrants under the Plan shall be subject to
the condition that the Company be satisfied that the sale and delivery there-
of will not violate the Act or any other applicable laws, rules or regula-
tions.
Nature of the Plan: The Plan is strictly compensatory in nature and is not in
the nature of a savings, dividend reinvestment, profit-sharing, or pension
plan. Accordingly, the Plan has no assets or funds to be administered or in-
vested by its administrators. Please note that you do not and will not own
any interest of any kind in the Plan itself.
Nature of the Award: The Warrant Shares have been issued to you as compen-
sation or as a bonus for or in recognition of services, or in lieu of other
compensation payable for services. While the award will be treated as compen-
sation to you in any event, the distinction as to compensation or bonus for
services may be important for other purposes, as discussed below. Once an
award of shares has been made, or awarded Warrants to acquire shares has been
exercised, the shares shall be fully vested.
CERTAIN TAX MATTERS
No ERISA Applicability: The Plan and Warrant Shares issuable to you are not
subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
Federal Income Tax Consequences:
Stock Warrants: The Warrants to be granted are not "Incentive Stock Options"
within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. The grant and the exercise of stock Warrants may create compen-
sation income to One Capital Corporation and the Company may take a compen-
sation deduction to the extent the exercise price of the Warrants was below
the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant.
The income tax treatment of the proceeds from the sale of shares received
upon the exercise of stock Warrants, should be treated as capital gains based
upon a basis in the underlying shares equal to the difference between the
sale price and the fair market value on the date the Warrants was granted.
The foregoing summary of federal income tax aspects is based upon existing
law and interpretations, regulations and rulings, which are subject to change.
Moreover, federal income tax laws are quite complex, and the facts of your
particular situation (or other facts in connection with the award) may en-
gender a different federal tax result for you. The Company is not in a posi-
tion to advise you as to possible federal taxation issues other than income
tax or as to state, county or other local city taxes. You are advised to
consult your own accountant, attorney or other tax advisor. The Company and
its personnel cannot advise you as to state, federal or local tax consequen-
ces beyond the general discussion above.
TRANSFERABILITY OF THE WARRANT SHARES
Generally: The shares issuable to you upon exercise of Warrants under the Plan
have been registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("Com-
mission") under the Act, under cover of a Registration Statement on Form S-8.
Having been thus registered under the Act, the shares of stock awarded or
issuable to you upon exercise of Warrants are not "restricted" and will be
freely transferable by you (whether in an open market transaction or in a
private transaction) under the Act without need of further registration or
compliance with any exemption from registration under the Act. Accordingly,
the certificate evidencing the shares is not expected to bear any legend
restricting transfer. Special rules regarding transferability of the shares
may apply to you, however, if you are an "affiliate" of the Company. See
"Applicability of Rule 144" below.
Applicability of Rule 144: Special rules will apply to you if you are an
"affiliate" of the Company, or of any parent or subsidiary of the Company,
and in that event a special legend may be placed on the certificate evidenc-
ing the shares awarded to you. If you are an "affiliate," you may be required
to sell the shares of stock pursuant to an effective registration statement,
in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144 of the Commission (except for
the holding period requirement), including the filing of a Form 144 with the
Commission prior to sale, or pursuant to another available exemption from regi-
stration. In general, Rule 144 as currently in effect would allow any affili-
ate (defined below) of the Company to publicly sell, within any three-month
period, common shares of the Company in a number equal to the greater of (i)
1% of the total number of the Company's common shares for the same class then
outstanding, or (ii) the average weekly reported volume of trading in the Com-
pany's common shares during the four calendar weeks immediately preceding the
sale. Sales made in reliance upon Rule 144 also are subject to certain
manner-of-sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of cur-
rent public information concerning the Company.
An "affiliate" of the Company is defined as any person who controls, is con-
trolled by, or is under common control with the Company. Persons who are
directors or executive officers of the Company, or of any parent or subsidiary
of the Company, and persons who beneficially own 10% or more of the outstan-
ding Common Stock of the Company or of any parent or subsidiary of the Com-
pany, will be presumed to be affiliates.
An affiliate's failure to comply with the provisions of Rule 144 is a serious
violation of law. If you are an affiliate of the Company, you should consult
with the Secretary of or counsel to the Company prior to making any sale of
these shares. See also "Liability for Short-Swing Sales" below.
AVAILABILITY OF FORM S-8
The rules and regulations of the Commission make Form S-8 available to issu-
ers only for the issuance of securities which are compensatory in nature or
which are issued pursuant to an "employee benefit plan" (defined in Rule 405
of Regulation C of the Commission to include various types of compensatory
plans and written compensation Plans) to compensate persons who are employees
of the Company or an affiliate of the Company. The term "employee" generally
includes employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisers of the Com-
pany or an affiliate of the Company.
These rules and regulations prohibit the use of Form S-8 to register securi-
ties if the issuance of the securities is in connection with the offer or sale
of securities in a capital-raising transaction. Accordingly, the issuance of
the Warrant Shares to you would be improper if they in fact amount to compen-
sation for raising or helping to raise capital for the Company by the offer or
sale of securities, even if you are a full-time employee of the Company with
other, regular duties unconnected to the raising of capital. Accordingly, if
you have any question concerning the nature of the services for which the
stock has been awarded to you, you should consult the Secretary of or counsel
to the Company.
STOCK OWNERSHIP REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
The Company's common stock is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), and if you are an executive officer or
director of the Company, or the beneficial owner of 10% or more or the Com-
pany's outstanding Common Stock (a "Section 16(a) reporting person"), you are
required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules of the Commission
thereunder, to file with the Commission a statement of changes of beneficial
ownership of securities on Form 4 to reflect the issuance of the Warrant
Shares to you. This report must be filed no later than the 10th day of the
month following the month in which the Warrant Shares were granted and issued
to you. Your failure to timely file this report, if required, could subject
you to fines or penalties under the Exchange Act and may result in disclosure
of your failure to so report in the Company's annual report on form 10-K and
proxy statement to be filed with the Commission. If you recently became an
executive officer, director or 10% shareholder of the Company and have not
yet filed an initial report of beneficial ownership of securities on Form 3,
then this filing should be promptly made (it must be filed within 10 days of
the triggering event). Finally, if you are a Section 16(a) reporting person,
you may be required to file, within 45 days of the Company's accounting year-
end, an annual statement of beneficial ownership of securities on Form 5 ref-
lecting this award.
You should consult with the Secretary of or counsel to the Company if you are
unsure as to your reporting obligations under Section 16(a) and the rules of
the Commission.
If you are the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company's equity
securities, you may be required to file reports under Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act.
LIABILITY FOR SHORT-SWING SALES
The Company's common stock is registered under the Exchange Act and if you
are an executive officer or director of the Company, or the beneficial owner
of 10% or more or the Company's outstanding Common Stock (a "Section 16(a)
reporting person"), you are required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and
if you are a Section 16(a) reporting person, you also are subject to the
"short-swing" sales provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and rules
and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and the discussion in this para-
graph applies to you. The issuance of the Warrant Shares to you probably will
constitute a "purchase" of those shares by you under Section 16(b). If you
are a Section 16(a) reporting person, a report on Form 4 concerning the award
may be due, even though no "purchase" has occurred for short-swing purposes.
Section 16(b) and the Commission's rules thereunder provide that any sale of
the Company's Common Stock by you within the 6-month period prior to or fol-
lowing the award of shares to you, at a price greater than the "purchase
price" of the optioned shares, results in an illegal (so-called "short-swing")
profit to you. The "purchase price" of the Warrant Shares will for almost all
purposes be the Warrant exercise price. A short-swing profit is recoverable
by the Company in a legal action within two years after the illegal profit is
realized, which may be brought in federal court. The Company would be entit-
led also to recover its reasonable legal fees incurred in recovering the short-
swing profit. Moreover, any shareholder of the Company may bring an action to
recover a short-swing profit, if the Company does not, and likewise recover
legal fees.
You are urged to consult the Company Secretary or your own attorney if you are
unsure whether Section 16(b) applies to you and to determine your compliance
with Section 16(b) if it is applicable to you.

written notice, delivered in accordance with the requirements hereof).
4. NOTICES OF INTENT TO EXERCISE. The Warrants may be exercised by OCC giving
written notice of intent to exercise to the Company, delivered in accordance
with section 3 hereof, stating in such notice:
a. the number of shares,
b. the price of such shares, and/or reference to a specific Warrant Series as
set forth above,
c. the total payment to be made,
d. the proposed method of delivery of payment,
e. the requested method of delivery of shares (including, if applicable, the
separate denominations of share certificates), and
f. any additional instructions, account numbers, contacts, or other data
necessary or convenient to effect payment and delivery.
However, a notice of intent to exercise shall be effective if it contains at
least items "a" and "b" above, and OCC may reference or rely upon standing
written instructions or information established by past practices in the
exercise of Warrants, regarding the other items.
5. NOTICES OF PREPAREDNESS TO DELIVER. Within the same or the next subsequent
business day following receipt of written notice from OCC of intent to exer-
cise, the Company shall confirm by written notice to OCC, delivered in accor-
dance with section 3 hereof, stating in such notice:
a. acceptance of the proposed exercise in accordance with terms, payment, and
delivery instructions stated, referenced, or relied upon by OCC (or, if not
so accepted, specific and detailed statement of reasons for delay(s) or
change(s), and proposed alternative terms, payment, and delivery instruc-
tions),
b. copy of proofs or written confirmations of transfer agent and of the Com-
pany (or its designated Delivery Agent), of readiness to effect "Delivery
Versus Payment," as stated herein, and
c. any additional instructions, account numbers, contacts, or other data
necessary or convenient to effect payment and delivery.
6. DELIVERY VERSUS PAYMENT. Unless the parties hereto agree otherwise in
writing, all deliveries of shares by the Company, in exchange for payments for
Warrant Shares by OCC, shall be made by the method known as "Delivery versus
Payment" ("DVP"), such that each such delivery of shares shall be effected
contemporaneously with the receipt of payment for such shares. All payments
for Warrants Shares shall be made by OCC in the form of either cashier's check
or federal funds wire transfer. All deliveries of shares by the Company shall
be prearranged to deliver such shares to OCC either simultaneously or within
the same business day (or, in the event that OCC, in its sole and absolute
discretion, shall agree in writing, the following business day).However, if
any law or regulation requires the Company to take any action with respect to
the Stock as to which the Warrants are being exercised, the Company shall
promptly so notify OCC in advance, and the date of both (a) the delivery of
such Stock, and also (b) the payment for such Stock due from OCC, shall be
extended for the period necessary to take such action.
Nevertheless, in the event that, for any reason whatsoever, the Company
shall fail to effect delivery of shares pursuant to exercise of Warrants as
stated herein, following receipt of a payment from OCC, the Company shall, on
the next business day, return all funds tendered by OCC pursuant to a proposed
exercise in the same form tendered by OCC (unless OCC, in its sole and abso-
lute discretion shall agree otherwise in writing).
7. METHOD OF DELIVERY. Generally, all deliveries of shares by the Company,
in exchange for payments for exercise of Warrants by OCC, shall be made via
DTC Electronic Delivery, as stated below. However, in the event that OCC so
requests or agrees in writing, delivery may be made in the form of DVP certi-
ficate(s) for shares, as stated below.
(a) DTC Electronic Delivery Provided that the Company's transfer agent
participates in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") electronic transfer
system, OCC, at its sole discretion, may request (at least one business day
in advance of payment and delivery) electronic transfer of shares to one or
more of OCC's account(s) at participating broker/dealer firm(s). In such
event, the Company agrees that an authorized officer of the Company shall
(immediately upon receipt of certified check or evidence of wire transfer of
funds to the Company) send via telefax a Letter of Direction ordering its
transfer agent to execute same-day electronic transfer of applicable shares,
as directed by OCC.
(b) DVP Certificate(s) In the event that OCC requests (at least three busi-
ness days in advance of payment and delivery) DVP in certificate form, stock
certificates shall be prepared in denominations as reasonably designated by
OCC, and held by transfer agent, the Company, or its designated Delivery Agent,
such party shall promptly confirm to OCC that such shares are ready for DVP by
sending to OCC, via telefax, copies of both sides of such certificates.
Simultaneous with receipt of a certified check or evidence of wire transfer of
funds to the Company or its designated Delivery Agent, such party shall deliv-
er applicable share certificates to OCC. To expedite DVP, the Company may est-
ablish a Delivery Agent (e.g., attorney, broker dealer, depository, bank, or
custodian) located in Denver, CO, to hold shares (and, if desired, to receive
payment) on behalf of the Company, and to execute simultaneous DVP.
8.0 OTHER ISSUES OF SHARES Except as otherwise provided below, the number
and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants and the
Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happen-
ing of certain events, as follows:
8.1 Adjustments of Warrant Prices. Except as otherwise provided in Subsec-
tions 8.3 and 8.4, the Warrant Prices payable upon the exercise of the Warrants
shall be subject to adjustments as follows (with respect to changes in the
Company's Common Stock, and rights, options, warrants, or convertible securi-
ties to acquire Common Stock, or rights to acquire the foregoing, which do
NOT affect all or substantially all of the shares and/or holders thereof):
(a) The Company agrees to notify OCC in advance of any issue or change in
the Company's Common Stock, and rights, options, warrants, or convertible
securities to acquire Common Stock (or rights to acquire the foregoing) exceed-
ing five (5) percent of shares. The Company shall provide to OCC, ten busi-
ness days following written request, a schedule of outstanding Common Stock,
and rights, options, warrants, or convertible securities to acquire Common
Stock (or rights to acquire the foregoing), including prices and exercise or
conversion periods of rights to acquire shares, as of (a) the date of this
agreement, and (b) as of the most recent month-end date, at the time such
schedule is prepared.
8.2 Adjustments of Warrant Shares. Except as otherwise provided in Sub-
sections 8.3 and 8.4, the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of
the Warrants shall be subject to adjustments as follows (with respect to
changes in the Company's Common Stock, which DO affect all or substantially
all of the shares and/or holders thereof):
(a) In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend in Common Stock or securi-
ties convertible into Common Stock or make a distribution to its stockholders
in Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock; (ii) subdivide
its outstanding Common Stock; (iii) combine its outstanding Common Stock into
a smaller number of shares of Common Stock; or (iv) issue by reclassification
of its Common Stock other securities of the Company; then the number of Shares
purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants immediately prior thereto shall be
adjusted so that the OCC shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of
Shares or other securities of the Company which is or would have owned or
would have been entitled to receive immediately after the happening of any of
the events described above, had such Warrants been exercised immediately
prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto.
Any adjustment made pursuant to this subsection 8.2(a) shall become effective
immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record
date, if any, for such event.
(b) If, prior to the expiration of the Warrants by exercise, by the terms, or
by redemption, the Company shall be recapitalized by reclassifying its out-
standing shares of Common Stock into shares with a different par value, or by
changing its outstanding shares of Common Stock into shares without par value
or in the event of any other material change of the capital structure of the
Company or of any successor corporation by reason of any reclassification,
recapitalization or conveyance, prompt, proportionate, equitable, lawful and
adequate provision shall be made whereby any OCC shall thereafter have the
right to purchase, on the basis and the terms and conditions specified in this
Agreement, in lieu of the Shares theretofore purchasable on the exercise of any
Warrant, such securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to
or in exchange for the number of Shares theretofore purchasable on exercise of
the Warrants had such reclassification, recapitalization or conveyance not
taken place; and in any such event, the rights of OCC to any adjustment in the
number of Shares purchasable on exercise of such Warrant, as set forth above,
shall continue to be preserved in respect of any stock, securities or assets
which OCC becomes entitled to purchase.
(c) In case the Company shall issue rights, options, warrants, or convertible
securities to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, without
any charge to such holders, entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common
Stock at a price per share which is lower at the record date mentioned therein
than the then current market price as of the date of this agreement, the num-
ber of Shares thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of each shall be deter-
mined by multiplying the number of Shares theretofore purchasable upon exer-
cise of the Warrants by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of
such rights, options, warrants, or convertible securities plus the number of
additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of
which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the issuance of such rights, options, warrants, or convert-
ible securities plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price
of the total number of shares offered would purchase at such current market
price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options, warrants,
or convertible securities are issued, and shall become effective immediately
and retroactively to the record date for the determination of shareholders
entitled to receive such rights, options, warrants, or convertible securities.
(d) In case the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders
of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash
dividends or distributions out of earnings) or rights, options, warrants, or
convertible securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase Com-
mon Stock (excluding those referred to in subsection 8.2.(b) above), then in
each case the number of Shares thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of the
Warrants shall be determined by multiplying the number of Shares theretofore
purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants by a fraction, of which the numera-
tor shall be the then current market price on the date of such distribution,
and of which the denominator shall be such current market price on such date
minus the then fair value (determined as provided in subsection 8.2.(f)(y)
below) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distri-
buted or of such subscription rights, options, warrants, or convertible securi-
ties applicable to one share. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such
distribution is made and shall become effective on the date of distribution
retroactive to the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such distribution.
(e) No adjustment in the number of Shares purchasable pursuant to the Warrants
shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease
of at least five (5) percent in the number of Shares then purchasable upon the
exercise of the Warrants or, if the Warrants are not then exercisable, the
number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants on the first
date thereafter that the Warrants become exercisable; provided, however, that
any adjustments which by reason of this subsection 8.2.(e) are not required to
be made immediately shall be carried forward and taken into account in any
subsequent adjustment.
(f) For the purpose of this Section 8, the term "Common Stock" shall mean (i)
the class of stock designated as the publicly traded Common Stock of the Company
at the date of this Agreement, or (ii) any other class of stock resulting from
successive changes or reclassifications of such Common Stock consisting solely
of changes in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par
value to par value. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment
made pursuant to this Section 8 OCC shall become entitled to purchase any sec-
urities of the Company other than Common Stock, (y) if OCC's right to purchase
is on any other basis than that available to all holders of the Company's Common
Stock, the Company shall obtain an opinion of an independent investment
banking firm valuing such other securities; and (z) thereafter the number of
such other securities so purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be sub-
ject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equiva-
lent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Shares contained in
this Section 8.
(g) Upon the expiration of any rights, options, warrants, or conversion privi-
leges, if such shall have not been exercised, the number of Shares purchasable
upon exercise of the Warrants, to the extent the Warrants have not then been
exercised, shall, upon such expiration, be readjusted and shall thereafter be
such as they would have been had they been originally adjusted (or had the
original adjustment not been required, as the case may be) on the basis of (i)
the fact that the only shares of Common Stock so issued were the shares of Com-
mon Stock, if any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise of such rights,
options, warrants, or conversion privileges, and (ii) the fact that such shares
of Common Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually
received by the Company upon such exercise plus the consideration, if any,
actually received by the Company for the issuance, sale or grant of all such
rights, options, warrants, or conversion privileges whether or not exercised;
provided, however, that no such readjustment shall have the effect of
decreasing the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants by an
amount in excess of the amount of the adjustment initially made in respect of
the issuance, sale, or grant of such rights, options, warrants, or conversion
rights.
8.3 No Adjustment for Dividends. Except as provided in subsection 8.2, no ad-
justment in respect of any cash dividends or distributions out of earnings shall
be made during the term of the Warrants or upon the exercise of the Warrants.
8.4 No Adjustment in Certain Cases. No adjustments shall be made pursuant to
Section 8 hereof in connection with the issuance of the Common Stock sold as
part of the issuance of Shares upon exercise of the Warrants. No adjustments
shall be made pursuant to Section 8 hereof in connection with any prior or
future grant or exercise of options, warrants, and/or conversion rights to
acquire Common Stock issued pursuant to any transaction for which One Capital
Corporation receives timely payment(s) of the full amount of fee(s) due and
payable, as provided in written agreement(s) with the Company pertaining to
such transaction. Further, no adjustments shall be made pursuant to Section 8
hereof in connection with the grant or exercise of presently authorized or out-
standing options, warrants, and/or conversion rights to acquire Common Stock,
aggregating up to 5,750,000 shares of Common Stock, pursuant to the following
transactions or issues:
a. a proposed Employee Stock Option Plan contemplated to be adopted by the
Company in 1998 (contemplating issue of options on approximately five million
common shares), AND
b. Warrants on 750,000 shares issued by the Company to One Capital Corporation
under the OCC Warrant Agreement dated May 28, 1997.
8.5 Preservation of Purchase Rights upon Reclassification, Consolidation, etc.
In case any consolidation of the Company with or merger of the Company into
another corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corpora-
tion of the property, assets, or business of the Company as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety, the company or such successor or purchasing
corporation, as the case may be, shall execute an agreement that OCC shall have
the right thereafter upon payment of the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such action to purchase, upon exercise of the Warrants, the kind and
amount of shares and other securities and property which it would have owned
or have been entitled to receive after the happening of such consolidation,
merger, sale, or conveyance had the Warrants been exercised immediately before
or to such action. In the event of a merger described in Section 368(a)(2)(E)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, in which the Company is the surviving
corporation, the right to purchase Shares under the Warrants shall terminate
on the date of such merger and thereupon the Warrants shall become null and
void, but only if the controlling corporation shall agree to substitute for the
Warrants, its Warrants which entitle the holder thereof to purchase upon their
exercise the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property which
it would have owned or been entitled to receive had the Warrants been exercised
immediately prior to such merger. Any such agreements referred to in this sub-
section 8.5 shall provide for adjustments, which shall be as nearly equivalent
as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in Section 8 hereof. The
provisions of this subsection 8.5 shall similarly apply to successive consoli-
dations, mergers, sales, or conveyances.
8.6 Par Value of Shares of Common Stock. Before taking any action which would
cause an adjustment effectively reducing the portion of the Exercise Price
allocable to each Share below the par value per share of the Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company will take any corporate
action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that
the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Common
Stock upon exercise of the Warrants.
8.7 Independent Public Accountants. The Company may retain a firm of indepen-
dent public accountants of recognized national standing (which may be any such
firm regularly employed by the Company) to make any computation required under
this Section 8 and a certificate signed by such firm shall b conclusive evi-
dence of the correctness of any computation made under this Section 8.
8.8 Statement on Warrant Certificates. Irrespective of any adjustments in the
number of securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, Warrant Certifi-
cates theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same number
of securities as are stated in the similar Warrant Certificates initially
usable pursuant to this Agreement. However, the Company may, at any time in
its sole discretion (which shall be conclusive), make any change in the form
of Warrant Certificate that it may deem appropriate and that does not affect
the substance thereof; and any Warrant Certificate thereafter issued, whether
upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange or substitution for, an out-
standing Warrant Certificate, may be in the form so changed.
8.9 Treasury Stock. For purposes of this Section 8, shares of Common Stock
owned or held at any relevant time by, or for the account of, the Company, in
its treasury or otherwise, shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes
of the calculations and adjustments described.
9. NO RIGHTS PRIOR TO EXERCISE OF WARRANTS. OCC shall have no rights as a
shareholder in the shares of Stock purchasable pursuant to Warrants hereunder
until payment of the purchase price and delivery.
10. RIGHTS FOLLOWING EXERCISE OF WARRANTS. Ownership rights in the Stock shall
vest with OCC as and when exercised.
11. TRANSFERABILITY OF WARRANTS, AND UNDERLYING STOCK. The Stock
underlying the Warrants has been registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on Form S-8 and may be sold in market transactions subject to
compliance with Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Any sale or
transfer of the Warrants and/or Stock purchased pursuant to these Warrants must
be in accordance with applicable federal and state securities laws. During the
term of the Warrants, the Warrants hereby granted shall be exercisable only by
OCC, and the Warrants shall be divisible and transferable solely as provided by
operation of law to an affiliate or successor of OCC, upon the dissolution and
winding up of OCC, or to the professionals of OCC who shall perform services
under the OCC Agreement.
12. BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement shall be binding upon the trustees, admin-
istrators, and successors of the parties hereto.
13. ARBITRATION. Any controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to, this
agreement, or the making, performance, or interpretation thereof, shall be
settled as follows:
(a) The Company and OCC shall use their best efforts to communicate, negotiate,
compromise, mediate, or otherwise resolve or settle any controversy or claim in
a confidential manner among themselves on or before six months from date of
delivery of written notice of a controversy or claim by one party to the other.
(b) Failing resolution within six months per item 1, such controversy or
claim shall be settled by arbitration in Denver, Colorado, in accordance with
the Rules of the American Arbitration Association then existing, and judgment
on the arbitration award may be entered in any court in any state having juris-
diction over the subject matter of the controversy, claim, or award. The
parties hereby agree that the Arbitrator shall be instructed, in considering
such controversy or claim, to give favorable weight to prior constructive
efforts of either party to reasonably resolve or settle such controversy or
claim per item 1 above.
14. MISCELLANEOUS. Each party agrees that it will provide additional infor-
mation, execute and deliver documents and perform any and all acts necessary to
carry out the terms and intent of this Agreement. If any term of this Agree-
ment conflicts with the law, all other terms of this Agreement shall remain in
effect and enforceable.
The parties agree to keep this Agreement confidential, other than disclosure to
their respective boards, officers, and legal or accounting advisors, and as
required by law or regulation. Whenever feasible, each party shall offer the
other prior rights of review, comment and editorial adjustment with respect to
any public or third party disclosure of the terms hereof.
All captions and titles are for convenience only, and may not be used to inter-
pret or to define the terms of this Agreement. Where appropriate, singular
terms include the plural, and pronouns of one gender include any gender.
This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties relating to
the subject matter hereof, supersedes all prior agreements and understandings,
and may be modified or amended only in writing, signed by all parties. No party
hereto has offered, given, or received, any inducement, consideration, or
influence, to enter into this Agreement, other than as explicitly provided in
this agreement. The parties act of their own free will.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have hereto caused this Agreement to be
executed as first herein set forth.

Gentlemen:
As Counsel for Tyrex Oil Company, 6886 S. Yosemite Street, Englewood, Colorado
80112, a Wyoming corporation (the "Company"), I have examined the Company's
Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and such other corporate records, documents
and proceedings and such questions of law as I have deemed relevant for the
purpose of this opinion.
I have also examined the Registration Statement of the Company and Form S-8
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 24, 1998, which I did
not prepare or participate in the preparation and filing of (Registration No.
1998-1), covering the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
of 750,000 shares of common stock (the "Common Stock"), including the Exhibits
and form of prospectus (the "Prospectus") filed therewith.
On the basis of such examination, and as of the date hereof, I am of the
opinion that:
1. The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing in good
standing under the laws of the state of Wyoming, with corporate power to con-
duct the business which it conducts as described in the Registration
Statement.
2. The Common Stock, when issued, will have been duly and validly authorized and
subject to payment therefor pursuant to the terms contemplated in the
Registration Statement, the Common Stock will be duly and validly issued as
fully paid and non-accessible shares of the Common Stock of the Company.
Very truly yours,
Daniel P. Edwards. P.C.
