The stockholder who signed the Written Consent is Triton Private Equities Fund, L.P. ("Triton"), which holds of record 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock (65.1% of the shares outstanding). A copy of the Written Consent is attached to this Information Statement as Exhibit "A." As more completely described below, the matters upon which action has been taken pursuant to the Written Consent are: (i) approval of the transfer of the Company's radiation shielding technology, constituting substantially all of the Company's assets (the "Technology Transfer"), (ii) approval of an amendment to the Fourth Article of the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 50,000,000 to 2,000,000,000 (the "Share Increase") and (iii) authorization of the Company's Board of Directors to implement an up to one-for-2,000 reverse stock split of the Company's outstanding Common Stock (the "Reverse Stock Split") upon a determination by the Board of Directors that the Reverse Stock Split is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

VOTING SECURITIES AND VOTE REQUIRED On [_______], 2003, the Company's Board of Directors ratified or approved, subject to stockholder approval, the Share Increase and the Technology Transfer, which the Board of Directors deemed to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board of Directors further authorized the preparation of the Written Consent and the preparation and circulation of this Information Statement to the Company's stockholders. There are currently 46,060,025 shares of Common Stock outstanding, with each share of Common Stock being entitled to one vote. The written consent of ten or fewer stockholders of the Company holding at least 23,030,013 shares of the issued and outstanding Common Stock was necessary to approve the actions taken pursuant to the Written Consent. Except for the Common Stock, there is no class of voting securities outstanding at this date. The record date for determining the stockholders who are entitled to receive this Information Statement is [ ], 2003 (the "Record Date"). The matters upon which action was taken pursuant to the Written Consent were: (i) the approval of the Technology Transfer, (ii) the approval of the Share Increase and (iii) the authorization of the Reverse Stock Split. Pursuant to a Restructure Agreement (the "Restructure Agreement") entered into on March 21, 2003 between the Company, Triton, Advanced Technology Industries, Inc. ("ATI") and ATI's subsidiary, ATI Nuklear AG ("AG"), on March 21, 2003, Triton converted $30,000 in principal amount of a convertible promissory note previously issued to Triton by the Company into 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock, thus giving Triton approximately 65% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock and voting control over the Company. Also on March 21, 2003, Triton's representative, Lawrence Shatsoff, became the Company's sole officer and director, replacing James Samuelson (a representative of ATI) and Shelby Brewer. No loans or pledges were obtained by Triton for the purpose of acquiring control of the Company and, except as specified in the Restructure Agreement, there are no arrangements or understandings among Triton and those persons formerly in control of the Company with respect to the election of directors or other matters. The cost of this Information Statement, consisting of printing, handling and mailing of the Information Statement and related materials, and the actual expense incurred by brokerage houses, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries in forwarding the Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the shares of Common Stock, will be paid by the Company. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP. The following table contains information, as of the Record Date, with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Company's Common Stock by (i) all directors of the Company, (ii) all persons or entities who beneficially own more than 5% of the Common Stock and (iii) all directors and executive officers of the Company as a group. Common Stock not outstanding but deemed beneficially owned by a stockholder by virtue of the right to acquire shares within 60 days is treated as outstanding only when determining the amount and percentage of Common Stock owned by such stockholder. Unless otherwise noted, each person or entity listed below has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.

(1) Based on 46,060,025 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of [______], 2003. (2) Address is c/o the Company at P.O. Box 116, North Haven, Connecticut 06473. (3) Address is 225 N. Market Street, Suite 333, Wichita, Kansas, 67202. (4) Triton also holds $305,000 in principal amount of the Company's Series 1999-A Convertible Promissory Note and $385,000 in principal amount of the Company's Series 2000-A Convertible Promissory Note (collectively, the "Notes"). The Notes, together with accrued interest thereon and certain accrued penalties with respect thereto, were convertible into up to [ ] shares of Common Stock on the Record Date. The conversion amount varies based on a percentage of a specified average closing bid price of the Common Stock during a specified period prior to the conversion date. In addition, as of the Record Date, Triton had loaned to the Company or provided for its benefit $[ ]for operating expenses (the "Operating Loans"). The Operating Loans are convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock at the same rate as the Company's Series 2000-A Convertible Promissory Note, resulting in up to [ ] shares of Common Stock being issuable to Triton on the Operating Loans as of the Record Date. The number of shares obtainable upon conversion of the Notes and the Operating Loans changes constantly and so is not included in the above table. (5) Address is Taubenstrasse 20, Berlin, Germany, 10117. CHANGE IN CONTROL. Triton is in the process of determining whether the Company has any value as a participant in a merger or other business combination. At this time, there is no estimate as to when, if ever, a suitable merger or other business combination for the Company will be identified. Should such a merger or other business combination actually occur, it is expected that there would be an accompanying change in control of the Company. INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON With the exception of Lawrence Shatsoff, the current sole director and officer of the Company, and James Samuelson, a former director and officer of the Company, as of the date of this Information Statement there are no persons who have been a director or officer of the Company since the beginning of the last fiscal year, or any associate of any such person, who have any substantial interest in the matters acted upon by the Written Consent. Mr. Shatsoff is a member of Triton Capital Management, L.L.C., the general partner of Triton, which has a substantial interest in the Share Increase. Mr. Samuelson is an officer of ATI, which has a substantial interest in the Technology Transfer. APPROVAL OF THE TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER GENERAL. On March 21, 2003, the Company's Board of Directors approved the Technology Transfer, which was ratified by the Company's Board of Directors on [ ], 2003. The Technology Transfer is being made pursuant to the Restructure Agreement between the Company, Triton, ATI and AG. A copy of the Restructure Agreement is attached to this Information Statement as Exhibit "B." TERMS OF THE TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER. The Technology Transfer provides for the transfer by the Company to ATI or AG of all right, title and interest in and to the Company's radiation shielding technology (the "Technology") in return for the cancellation by ATI and AG of all debts and other obligations owed to either of them by the Company (the "ATI Obligations"), consisting primarily of a $1 million promissory note, plus interest, secured by the Technology (among other things) and approximately $200,000 in short-term cash advances and payments made by ATI to or for the Company. The Technology consists of proprietary intellectual property, including patents and patent applications. ATI presently owns 4,590,000 shares of Company Common Stock (see "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management"), and AG is a subsidiary of ATI. -4-
PREM14C5th Page of 36TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 5th
The Restructure Agreement contains various customary provisions relating to the Company, ATI and AG. Those provisions include, among other things, representations and warranties with respect to (i) the execution and enforceability of the Restructure Agreement and (ii) title to, and absence of liens on, the Technology. The preparation and circulation of this Information Statement is a condition to the completion of the Technology Transfer, and, subject to certain provisions of the Restructure Agreement, it is expected that such completion will occur 23 days after this Information Statement is sent or given to the Company's stockholders. No federal or state regulatory requirements or approvals must be complied with or obtained in connection with the Technology Transfer. In light of AG's security interest in the Technology in connection with the ATI Obligations, the parties have agreed that the transfer of the Technology pursuant to the Restructure Agreement constitutes a transfer of collateral pursuant to Section 9609 of the California Uniform Commercial Code. EFFECT OF THE TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER. Following the consummation of the Technology Transfer, the Company expects to have essentially no assets. However, after that consummation, as well as certain anticipated conversions of outstanding debt into Common Stock (see "Approval of an Increase in the Authorized Shares"), it is expected that the Company will be left with only approximately $100,000 in liabilities. It is expected that those remaining liabilities will either be settled for cash using funds provided by Triton or paid with funds provided by a third party in conjunction with a merger or other consolidation with the Company. As the Technology Transfer involves the transfer of assets in return for cancellation of certain indebtedness, the Company's stockholders will retain their equity interests in the Company following the consummation of the Technology Transfer. FAIRNESS OF THE TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER; RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. The Technology Transfer will leave the Company with essentially no assets and no way of doing business. However, to date, the Company had been unsuccessful in marketing the Technology and it is highly uncertain as to when, if ever, the Technology could be used as the basis for profitable business operations, especially in light of the Company's continuing inability to obtain funding for those operations. In light of the fact that (i) Triton has taken control of the Company in order to determine its potential as a candidate in a merger or other business combination, (ii) Triton believes that a merger or other business combination is not feasible so long as the ATI Obligations remain in existence, (iii) AG holds a security interest in the Technology and (iv) there appears to be no other potential purchaser of the Technology for an amount sufficient to allow the Company to repay the ATI Obligations and release the security interest, the only means of cancelling the ATI Obligations is through a transfer of the Technology to ATI or AG. As a result, the Company's Board of Directors determined that it is in the Company's best interests to transfer the Technology to ATI or AG. In reaching its determination, the Board of Directors considered (i) the terms of the Technology Transfer and related matters, (ii) potential alternatives to the Technology Transfer, (iii) the financial risks if the Technology Transfer is not consummated, including inability to repay the ATI Obligations, (iv) the risk that if the Company retains the Technology it will not be able raise sufficient funds to utilize the Technology and (v) the ongoing operating losses of the Company and the substantial legal, accounting and other costs that would be incurred if the Company were to continue its business operations with respect to the Technology. Based on the foregoing, the Board of Directors believes that the Company's transfer of substantially all of its assets through the Technology Transfer is fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders. In view of the variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Technology Transfer, the Board of Directors did not find it practicable to, and did not quantify or otherwise attempt to, assign relative weights to the specific factors considered in reaching its determination. Due to the Company's financial condition, it could not pay for an opinion from a third party as to the fairness of the Technology Transfer. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER. There will be no material adverse tax consequences to the Company as a result of the Technology Transfer. Stockholders of the Company will experience no direct federal income tax consequences as a result of the consummation of the Technology Transfer. The foregoing constitutes only a general description of the federal income tax consequences of the Technology Transfer. -5-
PREM14C6th Page of 36TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 6th
OTHER INFORMATION. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of outstanding Common Stock is required for the approval of the Technology Transfer (with that vote having been obtained pursuant to the Written Consent). Based on the above factors, the Board of Directors believes that the Technology Transfer is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. It is anticipated that the Technology Transfer will occur 23 days following the mailing of this Information Statement to the Company's stockholders. Stockholders of the Company have no dissenters' or appraisal rights with respect to the Technology Transfer. APPROVAL OF AN INCREASE IN THE AUTHORIZED SHARES The Company is presently authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock and up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, in each case par value $0.0001 per share. The Company currently has outstanding 46,060,025 shares of Common Stock, with no preferred stock issued and outstanding. As a result, the Company has less than 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock available for future issuance. As described above in "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management," as of the Record Date, Triton was entitled to convert its existing Notes and Operating Loans into up to [_____] shares of the Company's Common Stock. While that number varies based on the market price of the Common Stock, assuming (i) a continuing market price of $[_____] per share and (ii) that the combined principal, accrued interest and accrued penalties on the Notes and Operating Loans totals approximately $[_____], the Company anticipates that in the future Triton will be able to convert the Notes and Operating Loans into at least [_____] shares of Common Stock. Therefore, the number of authorized shares must be increased to at least [_____] in order to satisfy the Company's legal obligations to Triton. In addition, certain creditors of the Company have agreed to exchange at total of $722,459 in debt owed to them by the Company into an aggregate of 72,245,862 shares of the Company's Common Stock. As a result, the number of authorized shares must be increased to at least [_____] in order to satisfy the Company's legal obligations to Triton and those other creditors. Triton now owns approximately 65% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock. Assuming the issuance of an additional [_____] shares of Common Stock to Triton following the Share Increase, it is expected that Triton's interest in the Company will increase to approximately [___%]. At this time, Triton intends to use its control over the Company to bring about a merger or other business combination with as third party. There is, however, no estimate as to when, if ever, a suitable merger or other business combination for the Company will be identified. In light of the above, the Share Increase will amend the Fourth Article of the Company's Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 2,000,000,000, with [_____] of those shares reserved for issuance to Triton, 72,245,862 of those shares reserved for issuance to certain other creditors as described above, and the balance to be used for such other issuances (including, but not limited to, issuances to consultants of the Company as compensation for their services) as the Company's Board of Directors may approve from time-to-time. The rights of those additional shares of Common Stock will be identical to those of the currently outstanding shares and the amendment will not alter the current number of issued shares or the relative rights and limitations of those shares. The Company has no current plans for the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock other than as described above. Any issuance of additional shares of Common Stock could have the effect of, among other things, diluting earnings per share, book value per share and/or voting power of the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock. There is no assurance that the additional authorized shares will be issued under circumstances that result in increased stockholder value for existing stockholders. It is not anticipated that any issuance of additional shares will require a vote of the Company's stockholders. Were the Share Increase not approved, the Company would be unable to comply with its obligations with respect to Triton and certain other creditors, which would, in turn, subject the Company to liability due to its default with respect to those obligations. In addition, if the Share Increase was not approved the Company would be prohibited from pursuing other courses of action that might require it to issue additional shares of Common Stock in excess of the currently remaining authorized but unissued shares. At this time, however, there are no transactions of that nature which are probable of occurring. -6-
PREM14C7th Page of 36TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 7th
On [_____], 2003, the Company's Board of Directors approved the Share Increase. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of outstanding Common Stock is required for the approval of the Share Increase (with that vote having been obtained pursuant to the Written Consent). Based on the above factors, the Board of Directors believes that the Share Increase is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. It is anticipated that formal implementation of the Share Increase will occur by filing an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State no sooner than twenty days after this Information Statement is first mailed to stockholders. Stockholders of the Company have no dissenters' or appraisal rights with respect to the Share Increase. AUTHORIZATION FOR THE COMPANY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO EFFECTUATE A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK OF UP TO ONE-FOR-2000 GENERAL. The Reverse Stock Split has been authorized pursuant to the Written Consent; it will, however, be implemented only upon a determination by the Company's Board of Directors that the Reverse Stock Split in a specified amount (up to one-for-2000) is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. It is anticipated the Board of Directors will consider making such a determination only after approximately [_____] shares of Common Stock have been issued to Triton and certain other creditors as described above in "Approval of an Increase in the Authorized Shares" (the "Conversion Issuances"). PURPOSES AND EFFECTS OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT. Consummation of the Reverse Stock Split will alter the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock which, assuming the prior issuance of [_____] shares in the Conversion Issuances, will be reduced to as few as [_____] shares as a consequence thereof. The Company's Common Stock is listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "NUSL." On the Record Date, the reported closing price of the Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board was $[_____] per share. The Board of Directors believes that the maximum Reverse Stock Split will help achieve a per-share price of approximately $[_____], which, in turn, should make the Company a more attractive candidate in a merger or other business combination, which is currently being evaluated by Triton and appears to be the only way of obtaining value for the Company's stockholders in light of the Company's current financial condition. For additional information on the Company's financial condition and other related matters, please refer to the reports and other information filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Such reports and other information can be accessed electronically by means of the SEC's home page on the Internet at www.sec.gov or at other Internet sites such as www.freeedgar.com. You can also read and copy any materials that the Company files with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. You can obtain information about the operation of the SEC's Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. A copy of any public filing is also available, at no charge, by contacting the Company's President, Lawrence Shatsoff, by telephone at (203) 239-9734 or by mail at P.O. Box 116, North Haven, Connecticut 06473. On the Record Date, the number of record holders of the Common Stock was [_____] and the number of beneficial holders of Common Stock was estimated to be approximately [_____]. The Company does not anticipate that the Reverse Stock Split will result in a reduction in the number of such holders of the Company's Common Stock (with fractional shares being issued to stockholders where necessary). -7-
PREM14C8th Page of 36TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
The Reverse Stock Split will only affect the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at the time thereof and will have no effect upon the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock. The Common Stock will continue to be $0.0001 par value following the Reverse Stock Split. The following example of the maximum effect of the Reverse Stock Split is intended only for illustrative purposes, with "Common Stock Outstanding" calculated based on 46,060,025 shares outstanding as of the Record Date plus the assumed issuance of [ ] additional shares pursuant to the Conversion Issuances after the Record Date and prior to the Reverse Stock Split: Reverse Stock Common Stock Authorized and Split Outstanding Unissued Common Stock ----- ----------- --------------------- 1 for 2000 [__________] [____________] At such time as the Reverse Stock Split may take effect (the "Effective Date"), each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior thereto (the "Old Common Stock") will be reclassified as and changed into the appropriate number of shares of the Company's Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the "New Common Stock"). Shortly after the Effective Date, the Company will send transmittal forms to the holders of the Old Common Stock to be used in forwarding their certificates formerly representing shares of Old Common Stock for surrender and exchange for certificates representing shares of New Common Stock. In the event the Reverse Stock Split results in fractional shares, certificates in the New Common Stock will be issued reflecting those fractional interests to the nearest thousandth of a share. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT. The following is a summary of the material federal income tax consequences of the proposed Reverse Stock Split. This summary does not purport to be complete and does not address the tax consequences to holders that are subject to special tax rules, such as banks, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, personal holding companies, foreign entities, nonresident alien individuals, broker-dealers and tax-exempt entities. This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury regulations and proposed regulations, court decisions and current administrative rulings and pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, and assumes that the New Common Stock will be held as a "capital asset" (generally, property held for investment) as defined in the Code. Holders of Old Common Stock are advised to consult their own tax advisers regarding the federal income tax consequences of the proposed Reverse Stock Split in light of their personal circumstances and the consequences under state, local and foreign tax laws applicable to them. o The Reverse Stock Split will qualify as a recapitalization described in Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code; o No gain or loss will be recognized by the Company in connection with the Reverse Stock Split; o No gain or loss will be recognized by a stockholder who exchanges all of his, her or its shares of Old Common Stock solely for shares of New Common Stock; o The aggregate basis of the shares of New Common Stock to be received in the Reverse Stock Split will be the same as the aggregate basis of the shares of Old Common Stock surrendered in exchange therefor; and o The holding period of the shares of New Common Stock to be received in the Reverse Stock Split will include the holding period of the shares of Old Common Stock surrendered in exchange therefor. THE FOREGOING SUMMARY IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. ACCORDINGLY, EACH HOLDER OF COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY IS URGED TO CONSULT WITH HIS, HER OR ITS OWN TAX ADVISER WITH RESPECT TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PROPOSED REVERSE STOCK SPLIT, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, MUNICIPAL, FOREIGN OR OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION APPLICABLE TO THEM. -8-

OTHER INFORMATION. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of outstanding Common Stock is required to authorize the Reverse Stock Split (with that vote having been obtained pursuant to the Written Consent). Based on the above factors, the Board of Directors believes that authorization of the Reverse Stock Split is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Upon such authorization, the Reverse Stock Split will occur only upon approval by the Company's Board of Directors (which shall specify the exact amount of the split, up to one-for- 2000), and in any event no sooner than twenty days following the mailing of this Information Statement to the Company's stockholders. Stockholders of the Company have no dissenters' or appraisal rights with respect to the Reverse Stock Split. PROPOSALS BY STOCKHOLDERS The Company's Board of Directors does not know of any matters that are to be presented to Triton for its approval and consent pursuant to the Written Consent other than those referred to in this Information Statement. If any stockholder of the Company entitled to vote intends to submit to the Company a proposal for inclusion in the Written Consent, other than elections to offices, such proposal must be received at the Company's offices, located at P.O. Box 116, North Haven, Connecticut 06473, attention: President, not later than [ ], 2003. DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO STOCKHOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS One Information Statement will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless the Company receives contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company will undertake to deliver promptly a separate copy of the Information Statement to the stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the documents was delivered and provide instructions as to how the stockholder can notify the Company that the stockholder wishes to receive a separate copy of the Information Statement. In the event a stockholder desires to provide such notice to the Company, such notice may be given verbally by telephoning the Company's offices at (203) 239-9734 or by mail to P.O.

EXHIBIT "B" TO THE INFORMATION STATEMENT RESTRUCTURE AGREEMENT THIS RESTRUCTURE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is entered into on March 21, 2003 (the "Effective Date"), by and among Triton Private Equities Fund, L.P. ("Triton"), Nurescell Inc. ("Nurescell"), Advanced Technology Industries, Inc. ("ATI") and ATI Nuklear AG ("ATI Sub"), with reference to the following facts and circumstances: A. Nurescell and ATI Sub have previously entered into a "License Agreement" dated as of August 15, 2000 (the "License Agreement"), an "Investment Agreement" dated as of August 17, 2000 (the "Investment Agreement") and a Modification Agreement dated as of June 11, 2001 (the "Modification Agreement"), each of which was amended by a "Transaction Restructure Agreement" entered into as of September 30, 2001 by Nurescell, ATI and ATI Sub (the "2001 Restructure Agreement"). Under the License Agreement, as amended, Nurescell has licensed to ATI Sub certain "Technology" (as described in Exhibit 1 to the License Agreement) in return for specified royalty payments. B. Nurescell presently owes ATI (i) approximately $176,158 for short-term cash advances previously made by ATI to Nurescell and (ii) various sums for legal fees that ATI has paid on Nurescell's behalf. Nurescell is also indebted to ATI Sub pursuant to a $1 million promissory note (the "ATI Sub Note"). The ATI Sub Note is secured by (i) 15,000,000 unissued shares of Nurescell's common stock ("Nurescell Common Stock"), (ii) a first priority security interest in the Technology and (iii) all royalties due to Nurescell pursuant to Section 4.3 of the License Agreement (collectively, the "Collateral"). Nurescell is presently in default with respect to its obligations to ATI and its obligations to ATI Sub under the ATI Sub Note. C. Nurescell is indebted to Triton (collectively, the "Nurescell Debt") pursuant to (i) Nurescell's Series 1999-A 8% Convertible Promissory Note dated December 15, 1999, which came due as to $335,000 in principal on December 1, 2001 (the "1999 Note"), (ii) Nurescell's Series 2000-A 8% Convertible Promissory Note dated February 8, 2000, which came due as to $385,000 in principal on December 1, 2001 (the "2000 Note"), (iii) accrued interest on the 1999 Note and 2000 Note (taking into account Triton's prior conversion of $50,000 of the 1999 Note) and (iv) accrued penalties due to Nurescell's failure to register the shares underlying the 1999 and 2000 Notes as required by the Registration Rights Agreements (the "Registration Agreements") between Triton and Nurescell dated December 15, 1999 and February 8, 2000 (again taking into account Triton's prior conversion of $50,000 of the 1999 Note). Nurescell is presently in default with respect to its obligations to Triton in connection with the Nurescell Debt. D. In light of the fact that Nurescell is unable to satisfy its obligations to ATI, ATI Sub and Triton, the parties desire to restructure their relationship so that (i) through conversion into Nurescell Common Stock of at least a portion of the Nurescell Debt, Triton is able to become the majority shareholder of Nurescell and control its operations, (ii) Nurescell's Articles of Incorporation are amended to increase the number of authorized shares so that, if Triton so desires, Triton is able to convert all of the Nurescell Debt into Nurescell Common Stock (assuming a conversion price of $0.001 per share) and (iii) ATI and/or ATI Sub are able to acquire the Technology in return for (A) cancellation of the ATI Sub Note, the 2001 Restructure Agreement, the Investment Agreement, the License Agreement, the Modification Agreement and all other obligations of Nurescell to ATI or ATI Sub (collectively, the "ATI Obligations") and (B) release of the Collateral for the ATI Sub Note, in each case on the terms and conditions set forth herein. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: -12-
PREM14C13th Page of 36TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 13th
ARTICLE I CONVERSION OF NURESCELL DEBT AND RELATED MATTERS 1.01 INITIAL TRITON CONVERSION. Immediately after (i) Nurescell's current Board of Directors adopts resolutions in substantially the form of the attached Exhibit "A" and (ii) all current directors and officers subsequently resign from their positions with Nurescell (such resignations being in the form of the attached Exhibit "B"), Triton shall convert into Nurescell Common Stock at least that much of the Nurescell Debt as would give Triton a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Nurescell Common Stock (which is anticipated to require a conversion for at least 16,070,239 shares). To the extent requested by Triton, Nurescell shall use its best efforts to assist Triton with the foregoing conversion (the "Initial Conversion"), including appropriate instructions to Nurescell's stock transfer agent. 1.02 INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES. Upon completion of the Initial Conversion, Nurescell and Triton shall each use their best efforts to (i) amend Nurescell's Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares (the "Share Increase") to an amount that will at least allow the balance of the Nurescell Debt to be converted into Nurescell Common Stock (assuming a conversion price of $0.001 per share) and (ii) prepare, file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and deliver to Nurescell's shareholders an Information Statement (the "Information Statement") describing both the Share Increase and the transfer of the Technology pursuant to this Agreement (the "Technology Transfer") in the manner required by law. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Share Increase and the Technology Transfer will become effective 20 days after the Information Statement has been sent or given to Nurescell's shareholders. To the extent reasonably requested by Nurescell and/or Triton, ATI, in its capacity as a Nurescell shareholder, shall cooperate in causing the Share Increase to become effective. 1.03 SUBSEQUENT TRITON CONVERSIONS. After the Effective Date, Triton may from time-to-time, in its sole discretion, cause some or all of the remaining Nurescell Debt to be converted into common stock. To the extent requested by Triton, Nurescell shall use its best efforts to assist Triton with each such conversion including, but not limited to, providing confirmation of the prior approval of such conversion by Nurescell's Board of Directors and appropriate instructions to Nurescell's stock transfer agent.

In the event that a Notice is given, the parties shall thereafter reasonably cooperate to promptly satisfy the Transfer Condition(s) specified therein and the Closing Date shall be the date upon which the party giving the Notice acknowledges in writing that the specified Transfer Condition(s) has now been satisfied or waived (which acknowledgment shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that if such satisfaction or waiver does not occur within twenty (20) days after the date of the Notice, the party giving the Notice shall thereafter have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement if permitted under Section 5.01(b) below. 2.02 CONDITIONS TO TRANSFER AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS.
