- ----------------------
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a) (1) 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 (the
"1933 Act");
(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; and
(iii) To include any additional or changed 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, only to the extent required
by the general rules and regulations of the
Commission.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the 1933 Act, 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
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) That for purposes of determining any liability under the 1933
Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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 bona fide
offering thereof.
(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
1933 Act, as amended, may be permitted to directors, executive
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant as outlined
above or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the 1933 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,
executive officer or controlling person of the Registrant in
the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, executive 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 of whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the 1933 Act, the Registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all 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
authorized, on the date or dates appearing opposite the respective signatures
hereto.

Re: Opinion concerning the legality of the securities to be issued
pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed
by Entertainment Technologies & Programs, Inc., a Delaware
corporation
Board of Directors:
As counsel for Entertainment Technologies & Programs, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and in connection with the issuance of
400,000 shares of the Company's $0.001 par value common stock (the
"Securities") to four individual consultants (the "Consultants") pursuant to a
written compensation agreement, a copy of which is incorporated herein by
reference ("October 1999 Consultant Compensation Agreement" [the "Plan"]), I
have been asked to render an opinion as to the legality of these Securities,
which are to be covered by a Registration Statement to be filed by the Company
on Form S-8 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), and
as to which this opinion is to be filed as an exhibit.
As you are aware, no services to be performed and billed to you
which are in any way related to a "capital raising" transaction may be paid by
the issuance of Securities pursuant to the Plan. In this respect, I am
relying on the written representations of the plan participants, which
representations accompany the Plan.
In connection with rendering my opinion, which is set forth below, I
have reviewed and examined originals or copies of the following documents,
to-wit:
1. Articles of Incorporation and all amendments thereto;
2. Bylaws;
3. 10-KSB Annual Report for the fiscal year ended September 30,
1998, filed with the Commission on or about February 11, 1999;
4. 10-QSB Quarterly Reports for the past twelve months;
5. A copy of the Plan;
6. The Unanimous Consent of the Board of Directors adopting the
Plan, designating the name of the Plan and the name, address and telephone
number of the Plan's agent; and
7. Correspondence with the four consultants regarding the type of
services rendered and to be rendered, and Securities Act Release No. 7506,
dated February 17, 1998, and their respective responses to my letters to the
participants.
I have also examined various other documents, books, records,
instruments and certificates of public officials, directors, executive
officers and agents of the Company, and have made such investigations as I
have deemed reasonable, necessary or prudent under the circumstances. Also,
in rendering this opinion, I have reviewed various statutes and judicial
precedence as I have deemed relevant or necessary.
Further, as counsel for the Company, I have discussed the items
relied upon in rendering this opinion and the documents I have examined with
one or more directors and executive officers of the Company, and in all
instances, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal
capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me
as originals, the conformity with the original documents of all documents
submitted to me as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the
originals of such copies. I have further assumed that the recipients of these
Securities under the Plan will have paid the consideration required under the
terms of the Plan prior to the issuance of the Securities, and that none of
the services performed by the recipients shall be related to "capital raising"
transactions.
I have also provided the individual participants in the Plan with a
copy of the documents enumerated in paragraphs 3 through 7, inclusive, above.
Based upon the foregoing and in reliance thereon, it is my opinion
that, subject to the limitations set forth in the Plan, the Securities to be
issued pursuant to the Plan will, upon their issuance and delivery to the
recipients thereof, after receipt of full payment therefor, be deemed duly and
validly authorized, legally issued and fully paid and non-assessable under the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
This opinion is expressly limited in scope to the Securities
described herein and which are to be expressly covered by the above referenced
Registration Statement and does not cover any subsequent issuances of any
securities to be made in the future pursuant to any other plans, if any,
pertaining to services performed in the future. Any such transactions are
required to be included in a new Registration Statement or a post-effective
amendment to the above referenced Registration Statement, which will be
required to include a revised or a new opinion concerning the legality of the
Securities to be issued.
Further, this opinion is limited to the corporate laws of the State
of Delaware and the securities laws, rules and regulations of the United
States, and I express no opinion with respect to the laws of any other
jurisdiction.
I consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an
exhibit to the above referenced Registration Statement; however, this opinion
is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other
purpose without my prior written consent.
This opinion is based upon my knowledge of the law and facts as of
the date hereof, and I assume no duty to communicate with you with respect to
any matter which may hereafter come to my attention.
Yours very sincerely,
/s/ Branden T. Burningham

OCTOBER 1999 CONSULTANT COMPENSATION AGREEMENT
THIS CONSULTANT COMPENSATION AGREEMENT (the "Plan") is made as
of this 2nd day of November, 1998, among Entertainment Technologies &
Programs, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("ETPI"); and Martin R. Nathan, Esq.,
Douglas M. Shepersky, Esq., Donald G. Johnson, Jr., Esq. and Leonard W.
Burningham, Esq. who have executed and delivered this Plan by the execution
and delivery of the Counterpart Signature Pages which are designated as
Exhibits "A" through "D" hereof (collectively, the "Consultants").
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of ETPI has adopted a written
compensation agreement for compensation of four individual Consultants who are
natural persons, all of whom are attorneys for the Company; and
WHEREAS, ETPI has engaged the Consultants to provide services
at the request of and subject to the satisfaction of its management; and
WHEREAS, the Consultants have provided services at the request
and subject to the approval of the management of ETPI, and will provide
additional services to ETPI; and
WHEREAS, a general description of the nature of the services
performed and to be performed by the Consultants and the maximum value of such
services under this Plan are listed in the Counterpart Signature Pages; and
WHEREAS, ETPI and the Consultants intend that this Plan and
the services performed hereunder shall be made, requested and performed in
such a manner that this Plan shall be a "written compensation agreement" as
defined in Rule 405 of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission")
pursuant to which ETPI may issue "freely tradeable" shares (except as may be
limited by "affiliate" status) of its common stock as payment for services
rendered pursuant to an S-8 Registration Statement to be filed with the
Commission by ETPI;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
promises contained herein, it is agreed:
Section 1
Compensation Plan
1.1 Employment. ETPI hereby employs the Consultants and the
consultants hereby accept such employment, and have and will perform the
services requested by management of ETPI to its satisfaction during the term
hereof. The services performed by the Consultants hereunder have been and
will be personally rendered by the Consultants, and no one acting for or on
behalf of the Consultants, except those persons normally employed by the
consultants in rendering services to others, such as secretaries, bookkeepers
and the like.
1.2 Independent Contractors. Regardless of the Consultants'
status as "employees" under Rule 405 of the Commission, all services rendered
by the Consultants hereunder have been rendered as independent contractors,
and the Consultants shall be liable for any FICA taxes, withholding or other
similar taxes or charges, and the Consultants shall indemnify and hold ETPI
harmless therefrom; it is understood and agreed that the value of all such
items has been taken into account by the Consultants in computing the billable
rate for the services the Consultants have rendered and agreed to render to
ETPI.
1.3 Term. All services performed at the request of ETPI by the
Consultants shall have been performed within 120 days from the date hereof, at
which time this Plan shall terminate, unless otherwise provided herein;
provided, however, this Plan may be extended for an additional 120 day period
by written agreement of ETPI and any of the Consultants.
1.4 Payment. ETPI and the Consultants agree that ETPI shall pay
the invoices of the Consultants for the services performed under this Plan by
the issuance of shares of its common stock at a price of approximately $0.17
per share; provided, however, such shares of common stock shall be issued
pursuant to and shall be subject to the filing and effectiveness of a
Registration Statement on Form S-8 covering such shares with the Commission.
1.5 Invoices for Services. On the completion of rendering the
services performed by the Consultants hereunder, each of the Consultants shall
provide ETPI with a written invoice detailing the services duly performed.
Such invoice shall be paid by ETPI in accordance with Section 1.4 above,
subject to the satisfaction of the management of ETPI that the services have
been performed, and to the extent performed, that the performance was in a
satisfactory manner. The submission of an invoice for the services performed
by each of the Consultants shall be deemed to be a subscription by the
respective Consultants to purchase shares of common stock of ETPI at the price
outlined in Section 1.4 above, subject only to the filing and effectiveness of
a Registration Statement on Form S-8 covering such shares with the Commission.
1.6 Common Stock Price. To the extent deemed required or
necessary and for all purposes of this Plan, the Consultants shall have an
"option" covering such shares of common stock at the per share price set forth
in paragraph 1.4 above during the term hereof; the Consultants assume the risk
of any decrease in the per share price or value of the shares of common stock
of ETPI that may be issued by ETPI for services performed by the Consultants
hereunder, and the Consultants agree that any such decrease shall in no way
affect the rights, obligations or duties of the Consultants hereunder.
1.7 Limitation on Services. None of the services rendered by
the Consultants and paid for by the issuance of shares of common stock of ETPI
shall be services related to any "capital raising" transaction.
1.8 Delivery of Shares. On submission of an invoice for
services actually performed by the respective Consultants, and duly verified
to the satisfaction of ETPI, and subject to the filing and effectiveness of a
Registration Statement on Form S-8 of the Commission covering such shares, one
or more stock certificates representing such shares shall be delivered to the
respective Consultants at the addresses listed on the Counterpart Signature
Pages, unless another address shall be provided to ETPI in writing prior to
the issuance of such shares.
1.9 Adjustments in the Number of Shares of Common Stock and
Price Per Share. ETPI and the Consultants agree that the per share price of
shares of common stock that may be issued by ETPI to the Consultants for
services performed under this Plan has been arbitrarily set by ETPI; however,
in the event ETPI shall undergo a merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization, declare a stock dividend of its shares of common stock or
cause to be implemented a forward or reverse stock split which affects the
present number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock of ETPI prior
to the issuance of shares to the Consultants, that the per share price and the
number of shares issuable to the Consultants for services actually rendered
hereunder after such event shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any such
event.
1.10 Effective Date. The Effective Date of the Plan for each of
the Consultants shall be the date set forth on the respective Counterpart
Signature Pages.
1.11 Conditions. The Plan is subject to the following condition,
to-wit:
The number of shares of common stock to be issued under the
Plan shall in no event exceed 10% of the total issued and
outstanding shares of common stock of the Company on the
date of issuance.

S-8 Registration Statement to be filed with the Commission by ETPI.
2.3 Registration Statement on Form S-8. ETPI shall engage the
services of a competent professional to prepare and file a Registration
Statement on Form S-8 with the Commission to cover the shares of common stock
to be issued under the Plan; shall cooperate with such professional in every
manner whatsoever to the extent reasonably required or necessary so that such
Registration Statement shall be competently prepared, which such Registration

in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and
which such Registration Statement shall become effective immediately upon its
filing; such Registration Statement shall be prepared at the sole cost and
expense of ETPI; and ETPI will provide to the Consultants prior to the

"Company"), to Martin R. Nathan, Esq., Douglas M. Shepersky, Esq.,
Donald G. Johnson, Esq. and Leonard W. Burningham, Esq.,
consultants and counsel, to be registered on Form S-8 of the
Securities and Exchange Commission
Dear Messrs. Nathan, Shepersky, Johnson and Burningham:
I represent the Company in connection with the foregoing and have
been engaged to prepare a Registration Statement on Form S-8 of the Securities
and Exchange Commission for the registration of the securities to be issued to
you under a written compensation agreement to be prepared by this office.
Everyone involved is aware that I am the son of Leonard W.
Burningham, Esq.
I have prepared a brief Memorandum of the proposed amendments of
the Securities and Exchange Commission to this Form, and have enclosed a copy
thereof for your review.
I am also enclosing copies of the Company's 10-K Annual Report for
the year ended September 30, 1998, and the 10-Q Quarterly Reports for the
quarters ended December 31, 1998, March 31, 1999, and June 30, 1999, and a
copy of the written compensation agreement regarding the shares to be issued
pursuant to the S-8.
I have prepared responses for each of you which will be filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission respecting a description of the
services you have or will render to the Company and your agreement to these
restrictions. Your response is enclosed herewith and must be fully executed
and delivered to me by each of you.
Please be advised that the certificates that each of you has
previously received, which are imprinted with a "restrictive" legend, should
promptly be returned to me for cancellation as these certificates represent
the shares to be issued pursuant to the S-8 Registration Statement and when
issued, will be issued free of any "restrictive" legend.
Thank you very much.
Yours very sincerely,
/s/ Branden T. Burningham
