<PAGE>
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), may be permitted to members of
the board of directors, officers, employees, or persons controlling the Company
pursuant to the immediately subsequent provisions, the Company has been informed
that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
The Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation, specifically Article
Nine, however, eliminate the personal liability of the officers and directors to
shareholders of the corporation for money damages to the extent permitted by
Nevada Revised Statutes ("NRS") Section 78.037. NRS Section 78.037 provides that
a corporation may limit or eliminate officers' and directors' personal liability
for breach of fiduciary duty so long as liability is not eliminated or limited
for acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing
violation of law or the payment of unlawful distributions.
Section Eight of Article VI of the Corporation's Bylaws provides that
the Corporation shall indemnify its officers and directors for any liability,
including reasonable costs of defense, arising out of any act or omission of any
officer or director on behalf of the Corporation to the fullest extent allowed
by the laws of the State of Nevada.
In actions, proceedings and suits involving an officer or director
because of their being or having been an officer or director, other than actions
by or in the right of the corporation, NRS Section 78.751 (the "Nevada Statute")
permits a corporation to indemnify directors or officers against actual and
reasonable expenses, including attorneys fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement. The Nevada Statute applies to actions, proceedings or suits
whether civil, criminal, administrative or arbitrative in nature. However,
unless a court directs otherwise, indemnification is permissible only if the
officer or director meets the applicable standard of conduct and indemnification
is proper under the circumstances. In civil cases, the standard of conduct
requires the officer or director to act in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believes to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation. In criminal cases, an officer or director meets the standard of
conduct if he has no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The
board of directors acting through a quorum of disinterested directors,
independent legal counsel designated by the board of directors, or the
shareholders shall determine whether indemnification is proper under the
circumstances. Termination of proceedings by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction or plea of no contest or its equivalent, does not of itself establish
a presumption that the officer or director did not meet the applicable standard
of conduct.
In actions by or in the right of the corporation, the corporation may
indemnify an officer or director against expenses provided he satisfies the
applicable standard of conduct. However, a corporation cannot indemnify an
officer or director adjudged liable to the corporation on any claim, issue or
matter unless, and to the extent, the court determines that despite the
adjudication of liability, and in light of all the circumstances, the officer or
director is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses.
In all proceedings, whether by or in the right of the corporation or
otherwise, the Nevada Statute requires indemnification to the extent the officer
or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the
proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein. A Nevada
corporation may provide, either in its articles, bylaws or agreements, that the
corporation shall pay the expenses on behalf of a director or officer prior to
the final disposition of the action upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
behalf of the director or officer to repay those advancements if it is
ultimately determined that the officer or director is not entitled to
indemnification. The Nevada Statute does not exclude other indemnification
rights to which a director or officer may be entitled under the articles of
incorporation, the bylaws, an agreement, a vote of shareholders or disinterested
directors, or otherwise; provided that those rights would not indemnify an
officer or director against a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to
the officer or director that establishes the officer's or director's acts or
omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or known violation of the law
and were material to the cause of action.
The foregoing discussion of indemnification merely summarizes certain
aspects of indemnification provisions and is limited by reference to the NRS
Section 78.751, Article Nine, Section VI of the Corporation's Bylaws, as
amended, and Article Nine of the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation.

registration statement.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The exhibits are attached to this Registration Statement are listed in
the Exhibit Index, found on page 7.
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 this Registration
Statement 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.
(2) To treat, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment
as 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 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 filing
of the registrant's annual report 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 this 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 bona fide offering thereof.
(c) 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.

of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration
Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly

Re: Form S-8 Registration Statement
Dear Sirs:
CyberAmerica Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), has informed me
of its intention to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), on
or about November 7, 1997, a registration statement on Form S-8 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Registration Statement"), concerning the
issuance of 130,000 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, par
value $0.001 ("Common Stock"), pursuant to a Benefit Plan entitled "Written
Compensation Contracts for Consultants and Advisors" (the "Benefit Plan"). In
connection with the filing of the Registration Statement, you have requested my
opinion, as a member of the Law Department of the Company, regarding the
validity of the issuance of such Shares.
This opinion letter (this "Opinion") is governed by, and shall be interpreted in
accordance with the Legal Opinion Accord (the"Accord") of the ABA Section of
Business Law (1991). As a consequence, it is subject to a number of
qualifications and limitations, all as more particularly described in the
Accord, and this Opinion should be read in conjunction therewith.
In connection with the preparation of this Opinion, I have examined the
following:
1. The Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws;
2. The Registration Statement;
3. The authorization and approval of the Company's Benefit Plan
concerning the Shares and Registration Statement by the Company's
Board of Directors;
4. The Company's Section 10(a) Prospectus for the Registration
Statement;
5. The Company's most recently filed Form 10-KSB and all subsequently
filed reports on Form 10-QSB;
6. Such other documents as I have deemed necessary for the purposes of
this Opinion, including an Affidavit of a representative of two
financial consulting companies which are performing consulting
services in return for stock.
For the purposes of rendering this opinion, I have assumed that no person or
entity has engaged in fraud or misrepresentation regarding the inducement
relating to, or the execution or delivery of, the documents reviewed.
Furthermore, I express no opinion as to the validity of any of the assumptions,
form or content of any financial or statistical data in the Registration
Statement.

In expressing the opinion set forth herein, I have assumed the authenticity and
completeness of all corporate documents, records and instruments provided to me
by the Company and its representatives. I have assumed the accuracy of all
statements of fact contained therein. I have assumed that the information
provided to me by the Company is correct and that there are shares available to
be issued pursuant to the Benefit Plan. I have further assumed the genuineness
of signatures (both manual and conformed), the authenticity of documents
submitted as originals, the conformity to originals of all copies or faxed
copies and the correctness of all such documents. This opinion is conditioned on
all of these assumptions being correct.
Based on the above examination and to the best of my knowledge, I am of the
opinion that, when issued and sold, the Shares will be validly and legally
issued; provided, however, that no opinion is rendered under the document
regarding compliance with federal or state securities or blue sky laws. I am of
the further opinion that, when issued and sold, the Shares will be fully paid
and nonassessable. This Opinion is conditioned upon the above requirements being
met.
The opinion set forth above is predicated upon and limited to the correctness of
the assumptions set forth herein and in the Accord, and is further subject to
qualifications, exceptions and limitations set forth below:
A. Certain of the remedial provisions of the Benefit Plan may be
further limited or rendered unenforceable by other applicable
laws and interpretations.
B. I expressly except from the opinion set forth herein any
opinion or position as to whether or to which extent a Utah
court or any other court would apply Utah law, or the law of
any other state or jurisdiction, to any particular aspect of
the facts, circumstances and transactions that are the subject
of the opinion herein contained.
C. To the extent any opinion set forth above is qualified by
reference to my knowledge, my knowledge is based solely on my
examination of the items set forth in Paragraphs (1) through
(6) above.
D. In rendering the opinion that the shares of Common Stock to be
registered pursuant to the Registration Statement and issued
under the Benefit Plan will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, I assumed that: (1) the Company's Board of
Directors has exercised good faith in establishing the value
paid for the Shares; (2) All issuances and cancellations of
the capital stock of the Company will be fully and accurately
reflected in the Company's Stock Records as provided by the
Company's transfer agent; and (3) the consideration, as
determined by the Company's Board of Directors, to be received
in exchange for each issuance of common stock of the Company,
has been paid in full and actually received by the Company.
E. The opinion set forth herein, insofar as it relates to
specific agreements or documents, relates to the specified
agreements or documents and to the exhibits or schedules
referred to in this Opinion and attached to such agreements or
documents at the time of my examination of such agreements or
documents. Said opinion does not extend to documents,
agreements or

instruments referred to in said agreements or documents (even
if incorporated therein by reference), or to any exhibits,
annexes or schedules that are not identified in this Opinion.
F. I expressly except from the opinion set forth herein any
opinion concerning the need for compliance by any party, and in
particular by the Company, with the provisions of the
securities laws, regulations and/or rules of the United States
of America, the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction with
regard to any other issue not expressly addressed herein, which
exclusion shall apply, but not be limited to, the subsequent
tradeability of the Shares on either state or Federal level.
G. I expressly except from the opinion set forth herein any
opinion concerning the adequacy or compliance with any laws,
Federal or state, of the Company's Form S-8 or any of its
exhibits not expressly authored by me.
This Opinion may be relied upon by you only in connection with filing of the
Registration Statement and I hereby consent to the use of it as an exhibit to
the Registration Statement. This Opinion may not be used or relied upon by you
or any other person for any purpose whatsoever, except to the extent authorized
in the Accord, without in each instance my prior written consent.
My opinion is limited to the specific positions expressed above. No other
opinions are intended to be inferred therefrom. This opinion is addressed to and
is for the benefit solely of the Company and no other person or persons shall be
furnished a copy of this opinion or are entitled to rely on the contents herein
without my express written consent. In the event that any of the facts are
different from those which have been furnished to me and upon which I have
relied, the conclusions as set forth above cannot be relied upon.
The opinions contained in this letter are rendered as of the date hereof, and I
undertake no, and disclaim any, obligation to advise you of any changes in or
any new developments which might affect any matters or opinions set forth
herein.
Sincerely,
/s/Gerald Einhorn
