                     FOR 2004 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
                     ---------------------------------------

GENERAL INFORMATION

         This proxy statement is furnished to the stockholders of Crdentia
Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Crdentia" or the "Company"), in connection
with the solicitation by our board of directors of proxies in the accompanying
form for use in voting at the annual meeting of stockholders (the "Annual
Meeting") to be held on Thursday, May 27, 2004, at 9:30 a.m., Pacific Time, at
the offices of Morrison & Foerster LLP, 425 Market Street, San Francisco,
California 94105, and any adjournment or postponement thereof. The shares
represented by the proxies received, properly marked, dated, executed and not
revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting.

         Our complete mailing address is 14114 Dallas Parkway, Suite 600,
Dallas, Texas 75254. Our Internet Web site address is WWW.CRDENTIA.COM. Our
annual reports on Form 10-KSB, quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB, current reports
on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act are available free of charge in
electronic or paper form upon request to us after they are electronically filed
with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission. All materials
filed by us with the Commission also can be obtained at the Commission's Public
Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20549 or through the
Commission's Web site at WWW.SEC.GOV. You may obtain information on the
operation of the Public Reference Room by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

SOLICITATION, RECORD DATE AND VOTING PROCEDURES

         The solicitation of proxies will be conducted by mail and we will bear
all attendant costs. These costs will include the expense of preparing and
mailing proxy materials for the Annual Meeting and reimbursements paid to
brokerage firms and others for their expenses incurred in forwarding
solicitation material regarding the Annual Meeting to beneficial owners of our
common stock. We may conduct further solicitation personally, telephonically or
by facsimile through its officers, directors and regular employees, none of whom
will receive additional compensation for assisting with the solicitation.

         The close of business on April 23, 2004 has been fixed as the record
date (the "Record Date") for determining the holders of shares of our capital
stock entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the close
of business on the Record Date, we had 18,838,057 shares of common stock
outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting and 2,750,000 shares of
Series A convertible preferred stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the
Annual Meeting. The presence at the Annual Meeting of a majority of these shares
of common stock and Series A convertible preferred stock, either in person or by
proxy, voting together as a single class will constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. The Company's Secretary, William
S. Leftwich, will tabulate votes cast by proxy and act as inspector of elections
to tabulate votes cast in person at the Annual Meeting. Each outstanding share
of common stock and Series A convertible preferred stock on the Record Date is
entitled to one vote on all matters.

         Under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, an
abstaining vote and a broker "non-vote" are counted as present and are,
therefore, included for purposes of determining whether a quorum of shares is
present at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions are included in determining the
number of shares voted on the proposals submitted to stockholders (other than
the election of directors) and will have the same effect as a "no" vote on such
proposals. A broker "non-vote" occurs when a nominee holding shares for a
beneficial owner does not vote on a particular matter because the nominee does
not have the discretionary voting power with respect to that matter and has not
received instructions from the beneficial owner. Broker "non-votes," and shares
as to which proxy authority has been withheld with respect to any matter, are
generally not deemed to be entitled to vote for purposes of determining whether
stockholders' approval of that matter has been obtained.


                                       3


         With regard to the election of directors, votes may be cast in favor
of, or withheld from, each nominee. The directors, however, will be elected by
plurality vote, and votes that are withheld will be excluded entirely from the
vote and will have no effect. Stockholders may not cumulate votes in the
election of directors. All other matters to be acted upon by the stockholders at
the Annual Meeting will require the approval of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding common stock and Series A convertible preferred stock present in
person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. With
respect to such matters, abstentions will have the effect of negative votes, and
broker non-votes will not be counted for purposes of determining whether any of
those proposals have been approved.

CHANGE IN CONTROL OF THE COMPANY

         As of September 30, 2003, there were an aggregate of 7,950,166 shares
of our common stock outstanding. In August 2003, we completed our acquisition of
Baker Anderson Christie, Inc., a California corporation, pursuant to which we
issued 480,000 shares of our common stock to the former stockholders of Baker
Anderson Christie, Inc. In September 2003, we completed our acquisition of New
Age Staffing, Inc., a Texas corporation, in connection with which we issued an
aggregate of 6,884,614 shares of our common stock to the former stockholders of
New Age Staffing, Inc. In October 2003, we completed our acquisition of Nurses
Network, Inc., a California corporation, pursuant to which we issued 118,084
shares of our common stock to the former stockholders of Nurses Network, Inc. In
December 2003, we completed our acquisition of PSR Nurse Recruiting, Inc., a
Texas corporation, and PSR Nurses Holdings Corp., a Texas corporation, pursuant
to which we issued an aggregate of 3,418,789 shares of our common stock to the
former stockholders of PSR Nurse Recruiting, Inc. and PSR Nurses Holdings Corp.
In December 2003, we issued 1,750,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred
stock to two investors in consideration for cash proceeds in the amount of
$1,750,000.

         As a result of these issuances of our common stock in connection with
our completed acquisitions and the issuance of our Series A convertible
preferred stock, as of December 31, 2003, there were 18,838,057 shares of our
common stock outstanding and 1,750,000 shares of our Series A convertible
preferred stock outstanding (each share of which is entitled to vote on all
matters submitted to the holders of our common stock). Following such issuances,
as of December 31, 2003, these holders of our common stock and Series A
convertible preferred stock held approximately 62.3% of our common stock (on an
as-converted to common stock basis).

THE PROXY

         The persons named as proxyholders, James D. Durham and William S.
Leftwich, were selected by our board of directors and currently serve as
executive officers of the Company.

         All shares represented by each properly executed, unrevoked proxy
received in time for the Annual Meeting will be voted in the manner specified
therein. If no specification is made on the proxy as to any one or more of the
proposals, shares of our common stock or Series A convertible preferred stock
represented by the proxy will be voted as to the proposal for which no
specification is given as follows: FOR the amendment to the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation to authorize a reverse stock split of our common
stock; FOR the election of Robert J. Kenneth and Robert P. Oliver as Class II
directors to the board of directors to hold office until their successors are
duly elected and qualified; FOR the adoption of our 2004 Stock Incentive Plan,
pursuant to which an aggregate of 2,400,000 shares of our common stock will be
authorized for issuance thereunder; and FOR the ratification of the appointment
of BDO Seidman, LLP, as our independent auditors for the year ending December
31, 2004. We presently do not know of any other such business to be conducted at
the Annual Meeting.

REVOCABILITY OF PROXY

         If the shares of common stock or Series A convertible preferred stock
are held in your name, you may revoke your proxy given pursuant to this
solicitation at any time before the proxy card is voted by: (i) delivering to
the Company (to the attention of William S. Leftwich, our Secretary), at the
address of our principal executive offices, a written notice of revocation or a
duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or (ii) attending the Annual Meeting
and voting in person. If your shares are held in "street name," you should
follow the directions provided by your broker regarding how to revoke your
proxy. Your attendance at the Annual Meeting after having executed and delivered
a valid proxy card will not in and of itself constitute a revocation of your
proxy. You will be required to give oral notice of your intention to vote in
person to the inspector of elections at the Annual Meeting.

                                 PROPOSAL NO. 1
 APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO OUR AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
              TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF OUR COMMON STOCK

OVERVIEW

         The board has approved a proposal to amend our Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of all outstanding
shares of our common stock at an exchange ratio ranging from one-to-two to
one-to-five. The board has recommended that this proposal be presented to our
stockholders for approval. You are now being asked to vote upon an amendment to
our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect this reverse
stock split whereby a number of outstanding shares of our common stock between
and including two and five, such number consisting only of whole shares, will be
combined into one share of our common stock. Pending stockholder approval, the
board will have the sole discretion pursuant to Section 242(c) of the Delaware
General Corporation Law to elect, as it determines to be in the best interests
of Crdentia and its stockholders, whether or not to effect a reverse stock
split, and if so, the number of shares of our common stock between and including
two and five that will be combined into one share of our common stock, at any
time before the first anniversary of this Annual Meeting. The board believes
that stockholder approval of an amendment granting the board this discretion,
rather than approval of a specified exchange ratio, provides the board with
maximum flexibility to react to then-current market conditions and, therefore,
is in the best interests of Crdentia and its stockholders.

         The text of the form of the proposed amendment to our Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation is attached to this proxy statement as
Appendix A. By approving this amendment, stockholders will approve an amendment
to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation pursuant to which any
whole number of outstanding shares between and including two and five would be
combined into one share of our common stock and authorize the board to file such
amendment as determined by the board in the manner described herein. The board
may also elect not to do any reverse split.

         If approved by the stockholders, and following such approval the board
determines that effecting a reverse stock split is in the best interests of
Crdentia and its stockholders, the reverse stock split will become effective
upon filing such amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
The amendment filed thereby will contain the number of shares selected by the
board within the limits set forth in this proposal to be combined into one share
of our common stock.

         If the board elects to effect a reverse stock split following
stockholder approval, the number of issued and outstanding shares of common
stock would be reduced in accordance with an exchange ratio determined by the
board within the limits set forth in this proposal. Except for adjustments that
may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described below, each
stockholder will hold the same percentage of our outstanding common stock
immediately following the reverse stock split as such stockholder held
immediately prior to the reverse stock split. Currently, Crdentia is authorized
to issue up to a total of 60,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of
10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 50,000,000 shares of common stock. The
amendment would not change the number of total authorized shares of our capital
stock. Thus, immediately following the reverse stock split, the total number of
authorized shares of capital stock would remain at 60,000,000, consisting of
10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 50,000,000 shares of common stock. The
par value of our common stock and preferred stock would remain unchanged at
$0.0001 per share as well. Currently, the board does not have any definite plans
with regard to the authorized but unissued shares of our common stock following
the reverse stock split.

REASONS FOR THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

         The board believes that a reverse stock split may be desirable for a
number of reasons. First, the board believes that a reverse stock split may
better enable us to list our stock on a national exchange or market. Second, the
board believes that a reverse stock split could improve the marketability and
liquidity of our common stock. Third, the board believes that a reverse stock
split is desirable in order to increase our common stock price in the near term
while we continue to progress towards achieving our business objectives.

         Our common stock is currently quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin
Board ("OTC Bulletin Board"). The board believes that it is in the best
interests of Crdentia and its stockholders to list our common stock on a
national exchange or market. Alternative markets like the OTC Bulletin Board or
the "pink sheets" maintained by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. are
generally considered to be less efficient and not as widely followed as other
exchanges or markets like those operated by the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.
("Nasdaq") or the American Stock Exchange.


                                       5


         In order for us to list our common stock on a market operated by Nasdaq
or the American Stock Exchange, we must satisfy certain listing standards, some
of which standards require a minimum bid price. For example, certain listing
standards of the Nasdaq SmallCap Market would require that our common stock have
a minimum bid price of at least $4.00 per share and certain listing standards of
the Nasdaq National Market would require that our common stock have a minimum
bid price of at least $5.00 per share. In addition, certain of the listing
standards of the American Stock Exchange would require that our common stock
have a minimum bid price of at least $3.00 per share. As of March 26, 2004, the
high bid price for our common stock as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board was
$1.60 per share.

         The board expects that a reverse stock split of our common stock will
increase the market price of our common stock so that we would be better able to
satisfy the minimum bid price listing standards of a national market or exchange
like Nasdaq or the American Stock Exchange. However, the effect of a reverse
split upon the market price of our common stock cannot be predicted with any
certainty, and the history of similar reverse stock split for companies in like
circumstances is varied. It is possible that the per share price of our common
stock after the reverse split will not rise in proportion to the reduction in
the number of shares of our common stock outstanding resulting from the reverse
stock split, and there can be no assurance that the market price per
post-reverse split share will either exceed or remain in excess of the minimum
bid price for a sustained period of time. The market price of our common stock
may be based also on other factors that may be unrelated to the number of shares
outstanding, including our future performance. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the board believes that the proposed reverse stock split, when implemented
within the proposed exchange ratio range, will result in the market price of our
common stock rising to the level necessary to satisfy the minimum bid price
requirement.

         The board also believes that the increased market price of our common
stock expected as a result of implementing a reverse stock split will improve
the marketability and liquidity of our common stock and will encourage interest
and trading in our common stock. Because of the trading volatility often
associated with low-priced stocks, many brokerage houses and institutional
investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from
investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from
recommending low-priced stocks to their customers. Some of those policies and
practices may function to make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks
economically unattractive to brokers. Additionally, because brokers' commissions
on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price
than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the current average price per share of
our common stock can result in individual stockholders paying transaction costs
representing a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the
case if the share price were substantially higher. It should be noted that the
liquidity of our common stock may be adversely affected by the proposed reverse
stock split given the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after
the reverse stock split. The board is hopeful, however, that the anticipated
higher market price will reduce, to some extent, the negative effects on the
liquidity and marketability of the common stock inherent in some of the policies
and practices of institutional investors and brokerage houses described above.

         The board is hopeful that the price of our common stock will increase
as a result of improvements in our business. The board believes that the market
price of our common stock will increase to the extent we are able to achieve
commercial success over time. Nevertheless, the board believes that a reverse
stock split is desirable because of the anticipated higher market price of our
common stock resulting from such action.

BOARD DISCRETION TO IMPLEMENT THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

         If the reverse stock split is approved by our stockholders, it will be
effected, if at all, only upon a determination by the board that a reverse stock
split (with an exchange ratio determined by the board as described above) is in
the best interests of Crdentia and its stockholders. The determination by the
board as to whether the reverse split will be effected, if at all, will be based
upon certain factors, including meeting the listing requirements for a national
market or exchange like Nasdaq or the American Stock Exchange, existing and
expected marketability and liquidity of our common stock, prevailing market
conditions and the likely effect on the market price of our common stock. If the
board determines to effect the reverse stock split, the board will consider
certain factors in selecting the specific exchange ratio, including the overall
market conditions at the time and the recent trading history of our common
stock.

                                       6


         Notwithstanding approval of the reverse stock split by the
stockholders, the board may, in its sole discretion, abandon the proposed
amendment and determine prior to the effectiveness of any filing with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware not to effect the reverse stock
split prior to the one-year anniversary of this Annual Meeting, as permitted
under Section 242(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. If the board fails
to implement any of the reverse stock splits prior to the one-year anniversary
of this Annual Meeting, stockholder approval again would be required prior to
implementing any reverse stock split.

EFFECTS OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

         After the effective date of the proposed reverse stock split, each
stockholder will own a reduced number of shares of our common stock. However,
the proposed reverse stock split will affect all of our stockholders uniformly
and will not affect any stockholder's percentage ownership interest in us,
except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in any of our
stockholders owning a fractional share as described below. Proportionate voting
rights and other rights and preferences of the holders of our common stock will
not be affected by the proposed reverse stock split (other than as a result of
the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares). For example, a holder of 2%
of the voting power of the outstanding shares of common stock immediately prior
to the reverse stock split would continue to hold 2% of the voting power of the
outstanding shares of common stock immediately after the reverse stock split.
The number of stockholders of record will not be affected by the proposed
reverse stock split (except to the extent that any stockholder holds only a
fractional share interest and receives cash for such interest after the proposed
reverse stock split).

         The reverse stock split would not reduce the number of shares of Series
A convertible preferred stock that are outstanding. Rather, the reverse stock
split would reduce the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon
conversion of our Series A convertible preferred stock by increasing the
conversion price of the Series A convertible preferred stock in proportion to
the exchange ratio of the reverse stock split in accordance with the terms of
the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series A
convertible preferred stock. We currently have 2,750,000 shares of Series A
convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding, each of which is convertible
into one share of our common stock. The par value of the Series A convertible
preferred stock would remain at $0.0001 per share following the effective time
of the reverse stock split, and the number of shares of Series A convertible
preferred stock issued and outstanding would remain unchanged.

         Although the proposed reverse stock split will not affect the rights of
stockholders or any stockholder's proportionate equity interest in Crdentia,
subject to the treatment of fractional shares, the number of authorized shares
of common stock and preferred stock will not be reduced. This will increase
significantly the ability of the board to issue authorized and unissued shares
without further stockholder action. The issuance in the future of such
additional authorized shares may have the effect of diluting the earnings per
share and book value per share, as well as the stock ownership and voting
rights, of the currently outstanding shares of common stock. The effective
increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock may be
construed as having an anti-takeover effect by permitting the issuance of shares
to purchasers who might oppose a hostile takeover bid or oppose any efforts to
amend or repeal certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation or
bylaws.

         The proposed reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of
common stock available for issuance upon exercise of our outstanding stock
options in proportion to the exchange ratio of the reverse stock split and will
effect a proportionate increase in the exercise price of such outstanding stock
options. In connection with the proposed reverse stock split, the number of
shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of outstanding stock
options will be rounded to the nearest whole share and no cash payment will be
made in respect of such rounding.

         If the proposed reverse stock split is implemented, it will increase
the number of stockholders of Crdentia who own "odd lots" of less than 100
shares of our common stock and decrease the number of stockholders who own
"whole lots" of 100 shares or more of our common stock. Brokerage commission and
other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally higher than the costs of
transactions of more than 100 shares of common stock. In addition, certain
listing standards of exchanges or markets like those operated by Nasdaq or the
American Stock Exchange may require that we have a certain minimum number of
holders of whole lots.

         Our common stock is currently registered under Section 12(g) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and we are subject to the periodic
reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. The proposed reverse stock
split will not affect the registration of the common stock under the Exchange
Act. If the proposed reverse stock split is implemented (and depending on
whether we choose thereafter to list our common stock on another market or
exchange), our common stock will continue to be reported on the OTC Bulletin
Board under the symbol "CRNC."

                                       7


         The proposed reverse stock split will not affect the par value of our
common stock. As a result, on the effective date of the reverse stock split, the
stated capital on our balance sheet attributable to the common stock will be
reduced in proportion to the exchange ratio selected by the board in the manner
described above, and the additional paid-in capital account shall be credited
with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The per share net income
or loss and net book value of our common stock will be increased because there
will be fewer shares of our common stock outstanding.

EFFECTIVE DATE

         The proposed reverse stock split would become effective as of 5:00
p.m., Eastern Time on the date of filing of a Certificate of Amendment to our
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the office of the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Except as explained below with
respect to fractional shares, on the effective date, shares of common stock
issued and outstanding immediately prior thereto will be combined and converted,
automatically and without any action on the part of the stockholders, into new
shares of common stock in accordance with reverse stock split ratio determined
by the board within the limits set forth in this proposal.

PAYMENT FOR FRACTIONAL SHARES

         No fractional shares of common stock will be issued as a result of the
proposed reverse stock split. Instead, stockholders who otherwise would be
entitled to receive fractional shares, upon surrender to the exchange agent of
such certificates representing such fractional shares, will be entitled to
receive cash in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the
fair market value of our common stock as determined by our board of directors on
the effective date by (ii) the number of shares of our common stock held by such
stockholder that would otherwise have been exchanged for such fractional share
interest.

EXCHANGE OF STOCK CERTIFICATES

         As soon as practicable after the effective date, stockholders will be
notified that the reverse split has been effected. Our transfer agent will act
as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock
certificates. We refer to such person as the "exchange agent." Holders of
pre-reverse split shares will be asked to surrender to the exchange agent
certificates representing pre-reverse split shares in exchange for certificates
representing post-reverse split shares in accordance with the procedures to be
set forth in a letter of transmittal to be sent by us. No new certificates will
be issued to a stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered such
stockholder's outstanding certificate(s) together with the properly completed
and executed letter of transmittal to the exchange agent. Stockholders should
not destroy any stock certificate and should not submit any certificates until
requested to do so.

ACCOUNTING CONSEQUENCES

         The par value per share of our common stock would remain unchanged at
$0.0001 per share after the reverse stock split. As a result, on the effective
date of the reverse split, the stated capital on our balance sheet attributable
to the common stock will be reduced proportionally, based on the exchange ratio
of the reverse stock split, from its present amount, and the additional paid-in
capital account shall be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is
reduced. The per share common stock net income or loss and net book value will
be increased because there will be fewer shares of our common stock outstanding.
We do not anticipate that any other accounting consequences would arise as a
result of the reverse stock split.

NO APPRAISAL RIGHTS

         Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, our stockholders are not
entitled to appraisal rights with respect to our proposed amendments to our
charter to effect the reverse stock split, and we will not independently provide
our stockholders with any such rights.

                                       8


MATERIAL FEDERAL U.S. INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

         The following is a summary of important tax considerations of the
proposed reverse stock split. It addresses only stockholders who hold the
pre-reverse split shares and post-reverse split shares as capital assets. It
does not purport to be complete and does not address stockholders subject to
special rules, such as financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations,
insurance companies, dealers in securities, mutual funds, foreign stockholders,
stockholders who hold the pre-reverse split shares as part of a straddle, hedge
or conversion transaction or other risk reduction strategy, stockholders who
hold the pre-reverse split shares as qualified small business stock within the
meaning of Section 1202 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), stockholders who are subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions
of the Code and stockholders who acquired their pre-reverse split shares
pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation.
This summary is based upon current law, which may change, possibly even
retroactively. It does not address tax considerations under state, local,
foreign and other laws. Furthermore, we have not obtained a ruling from the
Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of legal or tax counsel with respect to
the consequences of the reverse stock split. Each stockholder is advised to
consult his or her tax advisor as to his or her own situation.

         The reverse stock split is intended to constitute a reorganization
within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. Assuming the reverse split
qualifies as a reorganization, a stockholder generally will not recognize gain
or loss on the reverse stock split, except (as discussed below) to the extent of
cash, if any, received in lieu of a fractional share interest in the
post-reverse split shares. The aggregate tax basis of the post-reverse split
shares received will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the pre-reverse
split shares exchanged therefor (excluding any portion of the holder's basis
allocated to fractional shares), and the holding period of the post-reverse
split shares received will include the holding period of the pre-reverse split
shares exchanged.

         A holder of the pre-reverse split shares who receives cash in lieu of a
fractional share interest in the post-reverse split shares will generally
recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the portion of the tax
basis of the pre-reverse split shares allocated to the fractional share interest
and the cash received. Such gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss and will
be short term if the pre-reverse split shares were held for one year or less and
long term if held more than one year. It is assumed for this purpose that cash
will be paid in lieu of fractional shares only as a mechanical rounding off of
fractions resulting from the exchange rather than separately bargained-for
consideration. It is also assumed that the reverse split is not being undertaken
to increase any shareholder's proportionate ownership of the Company.

         No gain or loss will be recognized by us as a result of the reverse
stock split.

REQUIRED VOTE

         The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of our
common stock and Series A convertible preferred stock present or represented at
the Annual Meeting and voting together as a single class is required to approve
the amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
Abstentions will have the same effect as "no" votes on this proposal, whereas
broker "non-votes" will have no effect.

                  THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR
    THE AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO
               EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF OUR COMMON STOCK.


                                       9


                                 PROPOSAL NO. 2
                              ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

GENERAL

         Our board of directors is currently comprised of three classes of
directors generally consisting of two directors in each class with staggered
three-year terms. The directors in each class serve for their respective terms
or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Upon expiration
of the term of a particular class, directors elected to the class will serve for
a term of three years following expiration of the term.

         The purpose of this proposal is to nominate two directors for election
to our board of directors for a term ending upon the 2007 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders. The two candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative
votes of the shares entitled to vote at the annual meeting will be elected
directors. The nominees for election have agreed to serve if elected, and our
management has no reason to believe that the nominees will be unavailable to
serve. If any nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time
of the Annual Meeting, the proxies will be voted for any nominee who may be
designated by our present board of directors to fill the vacancy. Unless
otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies received by them
FOR the nominees named below.

         No arrangement or understanding exists between any nominee and any
other person or persons pursuant to which any nominee was or is to be selected
as a director or nominee. None of the nominees has any family relationship to
any other nominee or to any executive officer of Crdentia Corp.

BOARD COMMITTEES AND MEETINGS

         Our board of directors held ten meetings during our fiscal year ended
December 31, 2003. Our board of directors has an audit committee and a
compensation committee. Each director attended 75% or more of the aggregate of
(i) the total number of meetings of our board of directors (held during the
period for which such person was a director) and (ii) the total number of
meetings held by all committees of our board of directors on which the director
served (during the periods that he served).

         Although the board of directors does not have a formal policy regarding
attendance by members of the board at the Annual Meeting, it encourages
directors to attend and historically more than a majority have done so. For
example, each of our then-current directors attended the 2003 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders. The board of directors and any nominating committee formed will
consider during the upcoming year formalizing this excellent attendance record
into a formal policy, so as to maximize attendance by directors, taking into
account the directors' schedules and the timing requirements of applicable law.


                                       11


         Our compensation committee currently consists of two directors, Mr.
Kenneth, who serves as chairman of the committee, and Mr. Herman, and is
primarily responsible for reviewing and approving our general compensation
policies and setting compensation levels for our executive officers. The
committee held three meetings during our 2003 fiscal year.

         Our audit committee currently consists of three directors, Mr. De Luca,
who serves as chairman of the committee, Mr. Oliver and Mr. Toney. Each of the
members of the audit committee is independent as defined pursuant to Rule 4200
of the National Association of Securities' Dealers listing standards and as
required by applicable law and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our board
of directors has designated Mr. Toney as the audit committee's financial expert.

         The audit committee generally meets at least quarterly to review our
financial statements and to perform its other functions. The audit committee was
formed in August 2003 and thereafter held two meetings during our 2003 fiscal
year. The board of directors adopted and approved a charter for the audit
committee in December 2003, a copy of which is attached as Appendix B.

         Given our limited operating history, our board of directors has yet not
formed a nominating committee for the election of directors. Currently, our full
board of directors designates nominees for election to the board at each Annual
Meeting of Stockholders. The board of directors intends to consider the
formation of a nominating committee in the upcoming year with a view to forming
such a committee prior to the 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

         Historically, the board of directors has not adopted a formal policy
concerning stockholder recommendations regarding the election of directors. The
absence of such a policy does not mean, however, that a recommendation would not
have been considered had one been received. Although our board of directors has
historically designated nominees for election, the board will consider
nominations submitted by our stockholders, and our bylaws contain provisions
which address the process by which a stockholder may nominate an individual to
stand for election to the board of directors at the Annual Meeting. To date, the
board has not received any recommendations from stockholders requesting that it
consider a candidate for inclusion among the slate of nominees in the proxy
statement. The board of directors and any nominating committee that is formed
will consider this matter fully during the upcoming year with a view to adopting
a policy on stockholder recommendations for director nominees prior to the 2005
Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

         In evaluating director nominees, the board of directors considers a
number of factors, including the appropriate size of the board of directors; the
knowledge, skills and experience of nominees, including experience in business,
finance, administration or healthcare in light of prevailing business conditions
and the knowledge, skills and experience already possessed by other members of
the board; experience with accounting rules and practices; and the desire to
balance the considerable benefit of continuity with the periodic injection of
the fresh perspective provided by new members. The board of directors' goal is
to assemble a board that brings a variety of perspectives and skills derived
from high quality business and professional experience. In doing so, the board
also considers candidates with appropriate non-business backgrounds. Other than
the foregoing there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees,
although the board of directors and any nominating committee may also consider
such other factors as it may deem are in the best interests of the Company and
its stockholders.

         The board of directors identifies nominees by first evaluating the
current members of the board of directors willing to continue in service.
Current members of the board with skills and experience that are relevant to our
business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for
re-nomination, balancing the value of continuity of service by existing members
of the board with that of obtaining a new perspective. If any member of the
board does not wish to continue in service or if the board of directors decides
not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the board then identifies the
desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria above.
Current members of the board of directors are polled for suggestions as to
individuals meeting the desired criteria. Research may also be performed to
identify qualified individuals. To date, the board has not engaged third parties
to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying potential nominees, although it
reserves the right in the future to retain a third party search firm, if
necessary.

         Stockholders seeking to nominate persons for election as directors at
our 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders should submit such nominations in
writing to Crdentia Corp., c/o Corporate Secretary, 14114 Dallas Parkway, Suite
600, Dallas, Texas 75254. In order to ensure that our board of directors has a
reasonable opportunity to evaluate such nominations, such nominations must be
submitted no later than December 29, 2004.


                                       12


         Historically, we have not adopted a formal process for stockholder
communications with the board of directors. Nevertheless, every effort has been
made to ensure that the views of stockholders are heard by the board of
directors or individual directors, as applicable, and that appropriate responses
are provided to stockholders in a timely manner.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

         Non-employee directors receive an annual payment of $20,000 for their
service as members of the board of directors, including attending meetings of
the board of directors. Members of the audit committee receive an additional
annual payment of $5,000 for their service as members of audit committee. All
directors are reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with
serving as a director.

         In addition, non-employee directors are issued 100,000 shares of common
stock (or options to purchase such shares) upon their election to our board.
Such non-employee directors will thereafter be issued 25,000 shares of common
stock (or options to purchase such shares) in each of the next two years of
their three year term, except for the chairman of the audit committee, who will
receive an aggregate of 50,000 shares of common stock (or options to purchase
such shares) in each of the next two years. Each such grant will have a purchase
price or exercise price per share equal to the fair market value per share of
our common stock on the date of such grant. The board of directors may decide to
implement this policy pursuant to an automatic grant program under the 2004
Stock Incentive Plan being presented to the stockholders in this proxy
statement.

         In accordance with this policy, in December 2003, we issued to each of
Mr. Herman and Mr. Toney an option to purchase 100,000 shares of our common
stock with an exercise price of $0.96 in connection with their respective
appointments to our board of directors. Such options have a ten year term and
vest over a three year period, with one third of the shares subject to the
option vesting after the first year and the remainder of the shares subject to
the option vesting in equal amounts over the next twenty-four months thereafter.

REQUIRED VOTE

         The two candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of
the shares of common stock and Series A convertible preferred stock entitled to
vote at the Annual Meeting and voting together as a single class will be elected
as directors of Crdentia Corp. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no
effect on the vote.

                  THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR
                       EACH OF THE NOMINEES LISTED ABOVE.


                                       13



                                 PROPOSAL NO. 3
            APPROVAL OF THE CRDENTIA CORP. 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

    GENERAL

         Our stockholders are being asked to act upon a proposal to approve the
Crdentia Corp. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2004 Plan"). The board approved
the adoption of the 2004 Plan in April 2004, to be effective only upon approval
by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting. The board believes that the
attraction and retention of high quality personnel are essential to our
continued growth and success and that a stock incentive plan such as the 2004
Plan is necessary for us to remain competitive in our compensation practices.

         If approved by the stockholders, a total of 2,400,000 shares of common
stock will be initially reserved for issuance under the 2004 Plan, subject to
adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, or other similar
change in our common stock or capital structure. Commencing on the first
business day of each calendar year beginning in 2005, the number of shares of
stock reserved for issuance under the 2004 Plan (including issuance as incentive
stock options) will be increased annually by a number equal to the lesser of (a)
5% of the total number of shares outstanding as of that date, (b) 3,000,000
shares or (c) a lesser number of shares determined by the board.

         Capitalized terms used in this Proposal No. 3 shall have the same
meaning as in the 2004 Plan unless otherwise indicated.

         A general description of the principal terms of the 2004 Plan as
proposed is set forth below. This description is qualified in its entirety by
the terms of the 2004 Plan, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement
as Appendix C and is incorporated herein by reference.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

         PURPOSE. The purpose of the 2004 Plan is to provide our employees,
directors and consultants, whose present and potential contributions are
important to our success, with an incentive, through ownership of our common
stock, to continue in service and to help us compete effectively with other
enterprises for the services of qualified individuals.

         SHARES RESERVED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER THE 2004 PLAN. If approved by the
stockholders, a total of 2,400,000 shares of common stock will be initially
reserved for issuance under the 2004 Plan, subject to adjustment only in the
event of a stock split, stock dividend, or other similar change in our common
stock or capital structure. Commencing on the first business day of each
calendar year beginning in 2005, the number of shares of stock reserved for
issuance under the 2004 Plan (including issuance as incentive stock options)
will be increased annually by a number equal to the lesser of (a) 5% of the
total number of shares outstanding as of that date, (b) 3,000,000 shares or (c)
a lesser number of shares determined by the board. The maximum number of shares
with respect to which options and stock appreciation rights may be granted to a
participant during a calendar year is 1,000,000 shares. In addition, in
connection with a participant's commencement of continuous service, a
participant may be granted options and stock appreciation rights for up to an
additional 500,000 shares which shall not count against the limit set forth in
the previous sentence. For awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units
that are intended to be performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the maximum number
of shares subject to such awards that may be granted to a participant during a
calendar year is 1,000,000 shares.

         ADMINISTRATION. The 2004 Plan is administered, with respect to grants
to employees, directors, officers, and consultants, by the plan administrator
(the "Administrator"), defined as the board of directors or one or more
committees designated by the board. With respect to grants to officers and
directors, any committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy
applicable laws, including Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 162(m) of Code.

                                       14


         TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS. The 2004 Plan provides for the grant of
stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation
rights and dividend equivalent rights (collectively referred to as "awards").
Stock options granted under the 2004 Plan may be either incentive stock options
under the provisions of Section 422 of the Code, or nonqualified stock options.
Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees. Awards other than
incentive stock options may be granted to employees, directors and consultants.
Under the 2004 Plan, awards may be granted to such employees, directors or
consultants who are residing in non-U.S. jurisdictions as the Administrator may
determine from time to time.

         Subject to applicable laws, the Administrator has the authority, in its
discretion, to select employees, directors and consultants to whom awards may be
granted from time to time, to determine whether and to what extent awards are
granted, to determine the number of shares of our common stock or the amount of
other consideration to be covered by each award (subject to the limitations set
forth under the above section of this Proposal No. 3, "SHARES RESERVED FOR
ISSUANCE UNDER THE 2004 PLAN"), to approve award agreements for use under the
2004 Plan, to determine the terms and conditions of any award, to construe and
interpret the terms of the 2004 Plan and awards granted, to establish additional
terms, conditions, rules or procedures to accommodate the rules or laws of
applicable non-U.S. jurisdictions and to take such other action not inconsistent
with the terms of the 2004 Plan as the Administrator deems appropriate.

         Each award granted under the 2004 Plan shall be designated in an award
agreement. In the case of an option, the option shall be designated as either an
incentive stock option or a nonqualified stock option. To the extent that the
aggregate fair market value of shares of our common stock subject to options
designated as incentive stock options which become exercisable for the first
time by a participant during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such excess
options shall be treated as nonqualified stock options.

         The term of any incentive stock option granted under the 2004 Plan may
not be for more than ten years (or five years in the case of an incentive stock
option granted to any participant who owns stock representing more than 10% of
the combined voting power of Crdentia or any parent or subsidiary of Crdentia),
excluding any period for which the participant has elected to defer the receipt
of the shares or cash issuable pursuant to the award. The term of all other
awards granted under the 2004 Plan shall be determined by the Administrator.

         The 2004 Plan authorizes the Administrator to grant incentive stock
options at an exercise price not less than 100% of the fair market value of the
common stock on the date the option is granted (or 110%, in the case of an
incentive stock option granted to any employee who owns stock representing more
than 10% of the combined voting power of Crdentia or any parent or subsidiary of
Crdentia). In the case of all other awards granted under the 2004 Plan, the
exercise price or base appreciation amount shall be determined by the
Administrator. In the case of options or stock appreciation rights intended to
qualify as performance-based compensation, the exercise price or base
appreciation amount shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the
common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price is generally payable in
cash, check, shares of common stock or with respect to options, payment through
a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure.

         The 2004 Plan provides that (a) any reduction of the exercise price of
any option awarded under the 2004 Plan shall be subject to stockholder approval
and (b) canceling any option awarded under the 2004 Plan at a time when its
exercise price exceeds the fair market value of the underlying shares in
exchange for another award shall be subject to stockholder approval.

         Under the 2004 Plan, the Administrator may establish one or more
programs under the 2004 Plan to permit selected grantees the opportunity to
elect to defer receipt of consideration payable under an award. The
Administrator also may establish under the 2004 Plan separate programs for the
grant of particular forms of awards to one or more classes of grantees. The
awards may be granted subject to vesting schedules and restrictions on transfer
and repurchase or forfeiture rights in favor of Crdentia as specified in the
award agreements to be issued under the 2004 Plan.

         TERMINATION OF SERVICE. An award may not be exercised after the
termination date of such award as set forth in the award agreement. In the event
a participant in the 2004 Plan terminates continuous service with Crdentia, an
award may be exercised only to the extent provided in the award agreement. Where
an award agreement permits a participant to exercise an award following
termination of service, the award shall terminate to the extent not exercised on
the last day of the specified period or the last day of the original term of the
award, whichever comes first. Any award designated as an incentive stock option,
to the extent not exercised within the time permitted by law for the exercise of
incentive stock options following the termination of employment, shall convert
automatically to a nonqualified stock option and thereafter shall be exercisable
as such to the extent exercisable by its terms for the period specified in the
award agreement.

                                       15


         TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS. Under the 2004 Plan, incentive stock options
may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in
any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may
be exercised during the lifetime of the participant only by the participant.
Other awards shall be transferable only by will or by the laws of descent or
distribution and to the extent provided in the award agreement. The 2004 Plan
permits the designation of beneficiaries by holders of awards, including
incentive stock options.

         SECTION 162(m) OF THE CODE. The maximum number of shares with respect
to which options and stock appreciation rights may be granted to a participant
during a calendar year is 1,000,000 shares. In addition, in connection with a
participant's commencement of continuous service, a participant may be granted
options and stock appreciation rights for up to an additional 500,000 shares
which shall not count against the limit set forth in the previous sentence. The
foregoing limitations shall be adjusted proportionately by the Administrator in
connection with any change in our capitalization due to a stock split, stock
dividend or similar event affecting our common stock and its determination shall
be final, binding and conclusive. Under Code Section 162(m), no deduction is
allowed in any taxable year for compensation in excess of $1 million paid to a
Covered Employee. An exception to this rule applies to compensation that is paid
pursuant to a stock incentive plan approved by stockholders and that specifies,
among other things, the maximum number of shares with respect to which options
and stock appreciation rights may be granted to eligible participants under such
plan during a specified period. Compensation paid pursuant to options or stock
appreciation rights granted under such a plan and with an exercise price equal
to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant is deemed to
be inherently performance-based, since such awards provide value to participants
only if the stock price appreciates. To the extent required by Section 162(m) of
the Code or the regulations thereunder, in applying the foregoing limitation, if
any option or stock appreciation right is canceled, the cancelled award shall
continue to count against the maximum number of shares of common stock with
respect to which an award may be granted to a participant.

         For awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units that are
intended to be performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code,
the maximum number of shares subject to such awards that may be granted to a
participant during a calendar year is 1,000,000 shares. In order for restricted
stock and restricted stock units to qualify as performance-based compensation,
the Administrator must establish a performance goal with respect to such award
in writing not later than 90 days after the commencement of the services to
which it relates and while the outcome is substantially uncertain. In addition,
the performance goal must be stated in terms of an objective formula or
standard. The 2004 Plan contains a list of performance criteria that may be
considered by the Administrator when granting performance-based awards.

         CHANGE IN CAPITALIZATION. Subject to any required action by our
stockholders, the number of shares of common stock covered by outstanding
awards, the number of shares of common stock that have been authorized for
issuance under the 2004 Plan, the exercise or purchase price of each outstanding
award, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be granted subject
to awards to any participant in a calendar year, and the like, shall be
proportionally adjusted by the Administrator in the event of (i) any increase or
decrease in the number of issued shares of common stock resulting from a stock
split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification or similar event
affecting our common stock, (ii) any other increase or decrease in the number of
issued shares of common stock effected without receipt of consideration or (iii)
as the Administrator may determine in its discretion, any other transaction with
respect to common stock including a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition
of property or stock, separation (including a spin-off or other distribution of
stock or property), reorganization, liquidation (whether partial or complete) or
any similar transaction; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible
securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without
receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator
and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.

         CORPORATE TRANSACTION/CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event of a corporate
transaction or change in control (each as defined in the 2004 Plan), the
Administrator shall have the discretion to provide that outstanding awards shall
automatically become fully vested and exercisable for all or a portion of the
shares at the time represented by the award, immediately prior to the specified
effective date of such corporate transaction or change in control. Effective
upon the consummation of a corporate transaction, all outstanding awards shall
terminate. However, all such awards shall not terminate to the extent the
contractual obligations represented by the award are assumed by the successor
entity.


                                       16


         AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF THE 2004 PLAN. The board may at
any time amend, suspend or terminate the 2004 Plan. The 2004 Plan will terminate
ten years from the date of its approval by our stockholders, unless terminated
earlier by the board. To the extent necessary to comply with applicable
provisions of federal securities laws, state corporate and securities laws, the
Code, the rules of any applicable stock exchange or national market system, and
the rules of any non-U.S. jurisdiction applicable to awards granted to residents
therein, we will obtain stockholder approval of any such amendment to the 2004
Plan in such a manner and to such a degree as required.

CERTAIN FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES

         The following summary of the federal income tax consequences of 2004
Plan transactions is based upon federal income tax laws in effect on the date of
this proxy statement. This summary does not purport to be complete, and does not
discuss state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences.

         NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS. The grant of a nonqualified stock option
under the 2004 Plan will not result in any federal income tax consequences to
the participant or to us. Upon exercise of a nonqualified stock option, the
participant is subject to income taxes at the rate applicable to ordinary
compensation income on the difference between the option exercise price and the
fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise. This income is subject
to withholding for federal income and employment tax purposes. We are entitled
to an income tax deduction in the amount of the income recognized by the
participant, subject to possible limitations imposed by Section 162(m) of the
Code and so long as we withhold the appropriate taxes with respect to such
income (if required) and the participant's total compensation is deemed
reasonable in amount. Any gain or loss on the participant's subsequent
disposition of the shares of common stock will receive long or short-term
capital gain or loss treatment, depending on whether the shares are held for
more than one year following exercise. We do not receive a tax deduction for any
such gain.

         INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. The grant of an incentive stock option under
the 2004 Plan will not result in any federal income tax consequences to the
participant or to us. A participant recognizes no federal taxable income upon
exercising an incentive stock option (subject to the alternative minimum tax
rules discussed below), and we receive no deduction at the time of exercise. The
Internal Revenue Service has issued proposed regulations that would subject
participants to withholding at the time participants exercise an incentive stock
option for Social Security and Medicare taxes (but not income tax) based upon
the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise over
the exercise price. These proposed regulations, if adopted, would be effective
only for the exercise of an incentive stock option that occurs two years after
the regulations are issued in final form. In the event of a disposition of stock
acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option, the tax consequences depend
upon how long the participant has held the shares of common stock. If the
participant does not dispose of the shares within two years after the incentive
stock option was granted, nor within one year after the incentive stock option
was exercised, the participant will recognize a long-term capital gain (or loss)
equal to the difference between the sale price of the shares and the exercise
price. We are not entitled to any deduction under these circumstances.

         If the participant fails to satisfy either of the foregoing holding
periods, he or she must recognize ordinary income in the year of the disposition
(referred to as a "disqualifying disposition"). The amount of such ordinary
income generally is the lesser of (i) the difference between the amount realized
on the disposition and the exercise price or (ii) the difference between the
fair market value of the stock on the exercise date and the exercise price. Any
gain in excess of the amount taxed as ordinary income will be treated as a long
or short-term capital gain, depending on whether the stock was held for more
than one year. In the year of the disqualifying disposition, we are entitled to
a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the
participant, subject to possible limitations imposed by Section 162(m) of the
Code and so long as we withhold the appropriate taxes with respect to such
income (if required) and the participant's total compensation is deemed
reasonable in amount.

         The "spread" under an incentive stock option -- i.e., the difference
between the fair market value of the shares at exercise and the exercise price
-- is classified as an item of adjustment in the year of exercise for purposes
of the alternative minimum tax. If a participant's alternative minimum tax
liability exceeds such participant's regular income tax liability, the
participant will owe the larger amount of taxes. In order to avoid the
application of alternative minimum tax with respect to incentive stock options,
the participant must sell the shares within the same calendar year in which the
incentive stock options are exercised. However, such a sale of shares within the
same year of exercise will constitute a disqualifying disposition, as described
above.

                                       17


         RESTRICTED STOCK. The grant of restricted stock will subject the
recipient to ordinary compensation income on the difference between the amount
paid for such stock and the fair market value of the shares on the date that the
restrictions lapse. This income is subject to withholding for federal income and
employment tax purposes. We are entitled to an income tax deduction in the
amount of the ordinary income recognized by the recipient, subject to possible
limitations imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code and so long as we withhold the
appropriate taxes with respect to such income (if required) and the
participant's total compensation is deemed reasonable in amount. Any gain or
loss on the recipient's subsequent disposition of the shares will receive long
or short-term capital gain or loss treatment depending on how long the stock has
been held since the restrictions lapsed. We do not receive a tax deduction for
any such gain.

         Recipients of restricted stock may make an election under Section 83(b)
of the Code ("Section 83(b) Election") to recognize as ordinary compensation
income in the year that such restricted stock is granted, the amount equal to
the spread between the amount paid for such stock and the fair market value on
the date of the issuance of the stock. If such an election is made, the
recipient recognizes no further amounts of compensation income upon the lapse of
any restrictions and any gain or loss on subsequent disposition will be long or
short-term capital gain to the recipient. The Section 83(b) Election must be
made within thirty days from the time the restricted stock is issued.

         STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. Recipients of stock appreciation rights
("SARs") generally should not recognize income until the SAR is exercised
(assuming there is no ceiling on the value of the right). Upon exercise, the
participant will normally recognize taxable ordinary income for federal income
tax purposes equal to the amount of cash and fair market value of the shares, if
any, received upon such exercise. Participants who are employees will be subject
to withholding for federal income and employment tax purposes with respect to
income recognized upon exercise of an SAR. Participants will recognize gain upon
the disposition of any shares received on exercise of an SAR equal to the excess
of (i) the amount realized on such disposition over (ii) the ordinary income
recognized with respect to such shares under the principles set forth above.
That gain will be taxable as long or short-term capital gain depending on
whether the shares were held for more than one year.

         We will be entitled to a tax deduction to the extent and in the year
that ordinary income is recognized by the participant, subject to possible
limitations imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code and so long as we withhold the
appropriate taxes with respect to such income (if required) and the
participant's total compensation is deemed reasonable in amount.

         RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS. Recipients of restricted stock units generally
should not recognize income until such units are converted into cash or shares
of stock. Upon conversion, the participant will normally recognize taxable
ordinary income for federal income tax purposes equal to the amount of cash and
fair market value the shares, if any, received upon such conversion.
Participants who are employees will be subject to withholding for federal income
and employment tax purposes with respect to income recognized upon conversion of
the restricted stock units. Participants will recognize gain upon the
disposition of any shares received upon conversion of the restricted stock units
equal to the excess of (i) the amount realized on such disposition over (ii) the
ordinary income recognized with respect to such shares under the principles set
forth above. That gain will be taxable as long or short-term capital gain
depending on whether the shares were held for more than one year.

         We will be entitled to a tax deduction to the extent and in the year
that ordinary income is recognized by the participant, subject to possible
limitations imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code and so long as we withhold the
appropriate taxes with respect to such income (if required) and the
participant's total compensation is deemed reasonable in amount.

         DIVIDENDS AND DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS. Recipients of stock-based awards
that earn dividends or dividend equivalents will recognize taxable ordinary
income on any dividend payments received with respect to unvested and/or
unexercised shares subject to such awards, which income is subject to
withholding for federal income and employment tax purposes. We are entitled to
an income tax deduction in the amount of the income recognized by a participant,
subject to possible limitations imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code and so
long as we withhold the appropriate taxes with respect to such income (if
required) and the individual's total compensation is deemed reasonable in
amount.

NEW PLAN BENEFITS

         As of the date of this proxy statement, no outside director and no
associate of any director or officer has been granted any awards subject to
stockholder approval of the proposed 2004 Plan. Because the Administrator will
make future awards at its discretion, we cannot determine the number of options
and other awards that may be awarded in the future to eligible participants.

                                       18


REQUIRED VOTE

         The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of our
common stock and Series A convertible preferred stock present or represented at
the Annual Meeting and voting together as a single class is required to approve
the adoption of the Crdentia Corp. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. Abstentions will
have the same effect as "no" votes on this proposal, whereas broker "non-votes"
will have no effect.


                    THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE
          FOR APPROVAL OF THE CRDENTIA CORP. 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

                                 PROPOSAL NO. 4
                RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

         BDO Seidman, LLP, has been selected by the board of directors to be our
independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004. In the event
that ratification of this selection of independent auditors is not approved by a
majority of the shares of common stock and Series A convertible preferred stock
voting at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy, management will review its
future selection of independent auditors.

         We anticipate that the proposed audit partner from BDO Seidman, LLP
will be present at the Annual Meeting. This representative of BDO Seidman, LLP
will have the opportunity to make statements at the Annual Meeting if he or she
desires to do so and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate
questions.

         Our independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002
was Sanford H. Feibusch. Mr. Feibusch resigned as our independent auditor
following his preparation of the report dated February 5, 2003 on our
consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2002, for the four months
then ended and for the period from November 10, 1997 to December 31, 2002. We
engaged BDO Seidman, LLP as our independent auditor on or about April 28, 2004.
The decision to change auditors was approved by our board of directors.

         In connection with his services in the fiscal year ended December 31,
2002, Mr. Feibusch prepared (i) a report dated February 5, 2003 on our
consolidated financial statements for the four months ended December 31, 2002
and 2001, and for the period from November 10, 1997 (date of inception) to
December 31, 2002, and (ii) a report dated November 7, 2002 on our consolidated
financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2002 and 2001, and for the
period from November 10, 1997 (date of inception) to August 31, 2002. Except as
indicated herein, neither report contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion nor was either qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principles. Both reports were qualified, however, as to our ability
to sustain as a going concern without securing additional funding. With respect
to each of the reports, there were no disagreements with Mr. Feibusch on any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to the
satisfaction of Mr. Feibusch would have caused him to make reference thereto in
his report on the financial statements for such periods.

         We previously provided Mr. Feibusch with a copy of the foregoing
disclosures and advised him in writing that, if he believed such disclosures to
be incorrect or incomplete, he could present his views in a brief statement
which we would include in this proxy statement.

AUDIT FEES

         The aggregate fees billed by BDO Seidman, LLP for professional services
rendered in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003 were approximately
$125,500. No audit or other services were performed by BDO Seidman, LLP in the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2002.

         No audit or other services were performed by Mr. Feibusch in the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2003. The aggregate fees billed by Mr. Feibusch for
professional services rendered in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002 were
$7,000 for the audit of consolidated financial statements for (i) the four
months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, and for the period from November 10,
1997 (date of inception) to December 31, 2002, and (ii) for the years ended
August 31, 2002 and 2001, and for the period from November 10, 1997 (date of
inception) to August 31, 2002.

TAX FEES AND ALL OTHER FEES

         The aggregate fees billed by BDO Seidman for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2003 other than as stated above under the caption "Audit Fees" were
approximately $152,600. These fees were primarily for tax and other audit
services rendered in connection with our acquisition of New Age Staffing, Inc.,
PSR Nurse Recruiting, Inc. and PSR Nurses Holdings Corp. No fees were billed by
Mr. Feibusch for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2002 and 2003 other than
as stated above under the caption "Audit Fees."

         The audit committee's policy is to pre-approve all audit and non-audit
services provided by the independent auditors. All of the services described
above under the caption "Tax Fees and All Other Fees" were approved by the audit
committee.

   OFFICER AND SECRETARY
____________


(1)  Neither Mr. Durham, Ms. Atherton nor Mr. Davis was employed by us or
     rendered services to us during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2001.

(2)  Subject to the terms and conditions of a Common Stock Purchase Agreement
     dated May 15, 2002 by and between Mr. Durham and us, Mr. Durham had the
     right to purchase at a purchase price of $0.0001 per share, up to a number
     of additional shares of our common stock equal to twenty-five (25%) of the
     aggregate number of additional shares of our common stock and other
     securities convertible into common stock issued or issuable in connection
     with any acquisitions we complete on or before August 7, 2004. We have
     issued an aggregate of 11,069,110 shares as consideration for our four
     completed acquisitions of Baker Anderson Christie, Inc., New Age Staffing,
     Inc., Nurses Network, Inc. and PSR Nurse Recruiting, Inc. and PSR Nurses
     Holdings Corp. As a result of the completion of these acquisitions, Mr.
     Durham has the right to purchase up to 2,767,278 shares of our common stock
     at $0.0001 per share. On December 31, 2003 the Common Stock Purchase
     Agreement was modified such that Mr. Durham relinquished his rights to
     purchase additional shares of common stock that were to accrue to him in
     connection with acquisitions that occurred either before or after December
     31, 2003.

(3)  Ms. Atherton did not begin to receive salary from us until August 2003.

(4)  Pursuant to a Restricted Stock Issuance Agreement dated November 1, 2002,
     we issued Ms. Atherton 399,931 shares of our common stock at a purchase
     price of approximately $0.0067 per share in consideration for services
     previously rendered. Ms. Atherton vests in such shares of common stock over
     a four year period, pursuant to which she vested in 25% of the shares of
     common stock on November 1, 2002 and thereafter vests in the remaining
     shares in equal installments over the 36 month period beginning one year
     following the grant date. As of December 31, 2003, such shares of common
     stock had a value of $1,691,708 based upon a market price of our common
     stock of $4.23 per share, which was the average of the high and low bid
     prices per share of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the last
     day our common stock was traded during the fiscal year ended December 31,
     2003.

(5)  Such amounts represent expenses incurred by Ms. Atherton and reimbursed by
     us in connection with her relocation to our offices in Dallas, Texas.

     we issued Mr. Davis 299,931 shares of our common stock at a purchase price
     of approximately $0.0067 per share in consideration for services previously
     rendered. Mr. Davis vested in such shares of common stock over a four year
     period, pursuant to which he vested in 25% of the shares of common stock on
     November 1, 2002 and thereafter vested in the remaining shares in equal
     installments over the 36 months beginning one year following the grant
     date. As of his resignation with us effective November 2003, Mr. Davis had
     vested in 118,730 of the shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2003,
     such shares of common stock had a value of $500,705 based upon a market
     price of our common stock of $4.23 per share, which was the average of the
     high and low bid prices per share of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin
     Board on the last day our common stock was traded during the fiscal year
     ended December 31, 2003.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS, SEVERANCE AGREEMENTS AND CHANGE OF CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS

         EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT WITH JAMES D. DURHAM.

         We entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Durham dated August
14, 2002, which was amended on January 1, 2004. Pursuant to the amended
agreement, we agreed to pay Mr. Durham a base salary $320,000 for the 2004
calendar year, subject to adjustment each calendar year thereafter by the board
of directors. In the event that Mr. Durham becomes subject to an "involuntary
termination," we have agreed to pay severance to Mr. Durham in one lump sum
within thirty (30) days of the date of such involuntary termination in an
aggregate amount equal to two times his then-current rate of base salary. In
addition, for a period of twenty-four months, Mr. Durham would also be provided
with life, health and disability plan benefits. In the event that it is
determined that any of the foregoing payments or distributions would be subject
to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, then Mr.
Durham would be entitled to receive an additional payment to reimburse him for
the taxes paid.

         As used in the agreement, the term "involuntary termination" means the
termination of Mr. Durham's employment with us involuntarily upon his discharge,
dismissal or our failure to renew the agreement. In addition, the term
"involuntary termination" also means his termination, voluntarily or
involuntarily, provided such termination occurs in connection with (i) a change
in his position with us or any successor which materially reduces his level of
responsibility or changes his title from Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
(ii) a reduction in his level of compensation, (iii) a relocation of his
principal place of employment by more than forty-five (45) miles without his
written consent, (iv) our failure to qualify for trading on the OTC Bulletin
Board within ninety (90) days of the date of the agreement or to continuously be
listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board or another national securities
exchange at all times thereafter, or (v) the commencement of any action,
arbitration, audit, hearing, investigation, litigation or suit conducted or
heard by or before, or otherwise involving, the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers or any other federal
or state governmental body which has a material adverse effect on the price at
which our securities trade and is not principally attributable to his actions or
omissions.


                                       27


         EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT WITH PAMELA ATHERTON.

         We entered into an Executive Employment Agreement with Ms. Atherton
dated December 22, 2003. Pursuant to the agreement, we agreed to pay Ms.
Atherton a base salary at the rate of $175,000 per year, which such salary will
be reviewed from time to time in accordance with our procedures for adjusting
salaries for similarly situated employees and may be adjusted in our sole
discretion. In addition, we agreed to issue to Ms. Atherton one or more options
to purchase a number of shares of our common stock equal to 5.209% of that
aggregate number of shares of our common stock issued or issuable in connection
with any acquisitions that we complete on or prior to August 7, 2004. Any such
option(s) shall have an exercise price equal to the then current fair market
value of our common stock on the date of the issuance of such option(s), as
determined in good faith by our board of directors.

         Except for situations in which we terminate Ms. Atherton for "cause"
(as defined in the agreement), in the event that we terminate Ms. Atherton's
employment or in the event that she resigns for "good reason" she will be
eligible to receive an amount, payable in a lump sum, equal to (i) six (6)
months of her then-current base salary plus (ii) one month of the base salary
for each month of employment beginning on August 7, 2003 in excess of six months
but not to exceed twelve months. For purposes of the employment agreement, we
may terminate Ms. Atherton for "cause" in the event that she (i) is indicted for
or charged with a crime involving dishonesty, breach of trust, or physical harm
to any person (except for misdemeanor resulting from harm caused through the
operation of a motor vehicle); (ii) willfully engages in conduct that is in bad
faith and materially injurious to us (including misappropriation of trade
secrets, fraud or embezzlement); (iii) commits a material, uncured breach of the
employment agreement; (iv) willfully refuses to implement or follow a lawful
policy or directive that is consistent with the terms of the employment
agreement; or (v) engages in misfeasance or malfeasance demonstrated by a
pattern of failure to perform job duties diligently and professionally. Ms.
Atherton may terminate the employment agreement for "good reason" upon (i) a
change in her position which materially reduces her level of responsibility;
(ii) a reduction in her base salary (unless the base salaries of all executive
employees are also proportionately reduced); (iii) a relocation of her principal
place of employment by more than fifty (50) miles (excluding her relocation to
Dallas, Texas); or (iv) a material breach of the employment agreement by us.

         RESTRICTED STOCK ISSUANCE AGREEMENT WITH PAMELA ATHERTON

         We entered into a Restricted Stock Issuance Agreement with Ms. Atherton
dated November 1, 2002, pursuant to which we issued her 399,931 shares of our
common stock at a purchase price of approximately $0.0067 per share. Ms.
Atherton vests in such shares of common stock over a four year period, pursuant
to which she vested in 25% of the shares of common stock on November 1, 2002 and
thereafter vests in the remaining shares in equal installments over the
thirty-six months beginning one year after the grant. In the event that Ms.
Atherton is subject to an "involuntary termination" within 18 months of our
acquisition, she will immediately accelerate in the remaining shares of common
stock. As defined in the agreement, an "involuntary termination" shall mean the
termination of Ms. Atherton's service which occurs by reason of her involuntary
dismissal or discharge for reasons other than "misconduct," or her voluntary
resignation following a reduction in her level of compensation (including base
salary, fringe benefits) by more than 15% or a relocation of her place of
employment by more than fifty miles without her consent. "Misconduct" means the
commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement or dishonesty, any unauthorized use
or disclosure of confidential information or trade secrets or any other
intentional misconduct adversely affecting our business or affairs.

         OPTION GRANT TO PAMELA ATHERTON

         On December 22, 2003, we issued Ms. Atherton an option to purchase up
to 618,224 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.96 per share.
Ms. Atherton vested 25% of the shares subject to the option on December 22, 2003
and thereafter vests in 1/36 of the remaining shares subject to the option on
each month of service after November 1, 2003. In the event that, within 18
months after the acquisition of us by another company, Ms. Atherton is
terminated without "cause" or voluntarily with "good reason" within 18 months
after the acquisition, she will automatically accelerate vesting in the
remaining options. The term "cause" is given the definition as used in any
then-effective written agreement between her and us, or if there is no such
written agreement, (i) her performance of any act or failure to perform any act
in bad faith and to our detriment, (ii) dishonesty, intentional misconduct or
material breach of any agreement with us or (iii) the commission of a crime
involving dishonesty, breach of trust, or physical or emotional harm to any
person. "Good reason" is defined to mean a reduction in her base salary to a
level more than 15% below that in effect at any time within six months preceding
the consummation of the acquisition or requiring her to be based at any place
outside a 50-mile radius from her job location prior to the acquisition.

         In discharging its oversight responsibility as to the audit process,
the audit committee has received from the independent auditors, BDO Seidman,

the auditors and Crdentia that might bear on the auditor's independence
consistent with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, "Independence

EMPLOYMENT, BONUS AND OPTION AGREEMENTS WITH EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

         We have entered into Employment Agreements with James D. Durham, our
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Pamela Atherton, our President. For a
description of such agreements, please see "Executive Officers - Employment
Contracts, Severance Agreements and Change of Control Arrangements."

         We entered into a Restricted Stock Issuance Agreement with Ms. Atherton
dated November 1, 2002 and an Option Agreement dated December 16, 2003, pursuant
to which she may receive accelerated vesting in the shares of common stock
purchased thereby or underlying the option in the event that she is terminated
within 18 months of our acquisition. For a description of such agreements,
please see "Executive Officers - Employment Contracts, Severance Agreements and
Change of Control Arrangements."

         We entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated May 15, 2002
with Mr. Durham, pursuant to which Mr. Durham had the right to purchase at a
purchase price of $0.0001 per share, up to a number of additional shares of our
common stock equal to 25% of the aggregate number of additional shares of our
common stock and other securities convertible into common stock issued or
issuable in connection with any acquisitions we complete on or before August 7,
2004. We have issued an aggregate of 11,069,110 shares as consideration for our
four completed acquisitions of Baker Anderson Christie, Inc., New Age Staffing,
Inc., Nurses Network, Inc., PSR Nurse Recruiting, Inc. and PSR Nurses Holdings
Corp. As a result of the completion of these acquisitions, Mr. Durham has the
right to purchase up to 2,767,278 shares of our common stock at $0.0001 per
share.

         In December 2003, our board of directors approved certain modifications
to our current equity arrangements with Mr. Durham. In connection with these
modifications, Mr. Durham agreed to relinquish certain rights pursuant to the
Common Stock Purchase Agreement to purchase additional shares of our common
stock that accrue to him after December 31, 2003 in connection with acquisitions
that occur either before or after December 31, 2003. With respect to Mr.
Durham's rights to purchase an additional 2,767,278 shares of Common Stock that
accrued to him prior to such date, we agreed to extend Mr. Durham's right to
purchase such additional shares to fifteen years after the Vesting Expiration
Date (as defined in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement). In consideration for
Mr. Durham's modification of his purchase right, our board of directors approved
the issuance to him of an option (the "Option") to purchase up to 7,000,000
shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, which
expires on December 31, 2018. Mr. Durham is fully vested in the Option, which is
exercisable by him in accordance with the following schedule: One hundred
percent (100%) of the shares of our common stock subject to the Option shall be
exercisable by Mr. Durham on December 31, 2008. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
certain number of shares of common stock subject to the Option may be exercised
prior to December 31, 2008 upon the closing of certain acquisitions by us. In
addition to the issuance of the Option, we also entered into a Bonus and Other
Agreement with Mr. Durham pursuant to which we agreed to pay to Mr. Durham cash
bonuses in the amount of $540,000 on December 31, 2006 and January 4, 2007.


                                       33


STOCK AND OPTION AGREEMENTS WITH DIRECTORS

         In October 2002, we entered into a Restricted Stock Issuance Agreement
with each of Robert Kenneth and Joseph M. DeLuca pursuant to which we issued
each of them 100,000 shares of common stock at a per share price of $0.0067. In
November 2002, we entered into a Restricted Stock Issuance Agreement with Robert
Oliver pursuant to which we issued him 100,000 shares of common stock at a per
share price of $0.0067. Mr. Kenneth, Mr. DeLuca and Mr. Oliver are members of
our board of directors. Each of the directors vests in the shares of common
stock over a period of thirty six months. In the event that any of the directors
is subject to an "involuntary termination" within 18 months of our acquisition,
he will immediately accelerate in the remaining shares of common stock. As
defined in the agreement, an "involuntary termination" shall mean the
termination of the director's service which occurs by reason of his involuntary
dismissal or discharge for reasons other than "misconduct." "Misconduct" means
the commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement or dishonesty, any unauthorized
use or disclosure of confidential information or trade secrets or any other
intentional misconduct adversely affecting our business or affairs.

         In December 2003, we issued to each of Thomas Herman and C. Fred Toney,
members of our board of directors, an option to purchase 100,000 shares of our
common stock with an exercise price of $0.96 in connection with their respective
appointments to our board of directors. For further discussion regarding these
options grants, please see "Executive Compensation - Equity Compensation Plan
Information."

             SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

         Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our
officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class
of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership
with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required
by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they
file.

         Based solely upon the copies of Section 16(a) reports which we received

                STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR THE 2005 ANNUAL MEETING

         Stockholder proposals that are intended to be presented at our 2005
Annual Meeting must be received by our Secretary, William S. Leftwich, at 14114
Dallas Parkway, Suite 600, Dallas, Texas 75254, no later than December 29, 2004,
in order that they may be included in the proxy statement and form of proxy
relating to that meeting, and must meet all the other requirements as specified
in our bylaws. In addition, the proxy solicited by the board of directors for
the 2005 Annual Meeting will confer discretionary authority to vote on any

                                  OTHER MATTERS

FORM 10-KSB

         Our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2003 was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2004.
Upon written request to our Secretary, William S. Leftwich, at the address of
our principal executive offices, the exhibits set forth on the exhibit index of
the Form 10-KSB may be made available without charge.

HOUSEHOLDING OF ANNUAL MEETING MATERIALS

         In December 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new
rules that permit us to send a single set of annual reports and proxy statements
to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if we believe they are
members of the same family. Each stockholder will continue to receive a separate
proxy card. We are instituting this householding procedure for all consenting
accounts for the 2004 proxy season. However, upon written request to our
Secretary, William S. Leftwich, at the address of our principal executive
offices, you may revoke your decision to household, and we will deliver a
separate copy of the annual report or proxy statement, as applicable, to you at
the shared address within 30 days of your request.

         A number of brokerage firms have already instituted householding. If
your family has multiple accounts of our stock, you may have received
householding notification from your broker. Please contact your broker directly
if you have questions, require additional copies of the proxy statement or
annual report, or wish to revoke your decision to household, and thereby receive
multiple reports.

OTHER MATTERS

         The board of directors knows of no other business which will be
presented at the Annual Meeting. If any other business is properly brought
before the Annual Meeting, it is intended that proxies in the enclosed form will
be voted in respect thereof in accordance with the judgments of the
proxyholders.

         It is important that the proxies be returned promptly and that your
shares be represented. Stockholders are urged to mark, date, execute and
promptly return the accompanying proxy card in the enclosed envelope.

                                             By Order of the Board of Directors,

                                                                      APPENDIX B

                         CHARTER OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

                                 CRDENTIA CORP.


                              AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE

         The Audit Committee of Crdentia Corp. (the "Corporation") is appointed
by the Corporation's Board of Directors (the "Board") to oversee the accounting
and financial reporting processes of the Corporation and audits of the financial
statements of the Corporation. The Audit Committee (the "Committee") shall
undertake those specific duties and responsibilities listed below and such other
duties as the Board shall from time to time prescribe. All powers of the
Committee are subject to the restrictions designated in the Corporation's Bylaws
and applicable law.

                               STATEMENT OF POLICY

         The Committee shall oversee the accounting and financial reporting
processes of the Corporation and audits of the financial statements of the
Corporation. In so doing, the Committee shall endeavor to maintain free and open
means of communication between the directors, the independent auditors and the
financial management of the Corporation. In addition, the Committee shall review
the policies and procedures adopted by the Corporation to fulfill its
responsibilities regarding the fair and accurate presentation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
the National Association of Securities Dealers (the "NASD") applicable to Nasdaq
listed issuers.

                       COMMITTEE STRUCTURE AND MEMBERSHIP

         The Committee shall be comprised of three or more directors, as
determined by the Board. The Committee members shall be designated by the Board
and shall serve at the discretion of the Board.

         Each member of the Committee shall be an independent director. For
purposes hereof, an "independent director" shall be one:

         1.       who accepts no consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee
                  from the Corporation other than in his or her capacity as a
                  member of the Committee, the Board or any other committee of
                  the Board or is not otherwise an affiliated person of the
                  Corporation, and

         2.       who is free from any relationship that, in the opinion of the
                  Board, would interfere with the exercise of his or her
                  independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a
                  director.

         At least one member of the Committee shall be an "audit committee
financial expert," as defined by Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K, having (i) an
understanding of generally accepted accounting principles and financial
statements, (ii) the ability to assess the general application of such
principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals and
reserves, (iii) experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating
financial statements that present the breadth and level of complexity of
accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of
issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Corporation's
financial statements (or experience actively supervising one or more persons
engaged in such activities), (iv) an understanding on internal controls and
procedures for financial reporting and (v) an understanding of audit committee
functions.

         Each member of the Committee shall be able to read and understand
fundamental financial statements in accordance with the rules of the NASD
applicable to Nasdaq listed issuers. At least one member shall have past
employment experience in finance or accounting, a professional certification in
accounting or other comparable experience or background that results in the
individual's possessing the requisite financial sophistication, including a
current or past position as a chief executive or financial officer or other
senior officer with financial oversight responsibilities.

                                      B-1


                                     POWERS

         The Committee shall have the power to conduct or authorize
investigations into any matters within the Committee's scope of
responsibilities. The Committee shall be empowered to engage independent counsel
and other advisers, as it determines necessary to carry out its duties. While
the Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in this Charter, it
is not the duty of the Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that
the Corporation's financial statements are complete and accurate and are in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those tasks are the
responsibility of management and the independent auditor. The Board and the
Committee are in place to represent the Corporation's stockholders. Accordingly,
the independent auditor is ultimately accountable to the Board and the
Committee.

                                RESPONSIBILITIES

         The Committee's policies and procedures should remain flexible, in
order to best react to changing conditions and to ensure to the Board and the
Corporation's stockholders that the corporate accounting and reporting practices
of the Corporation are in accordance with all requirements and are of the
highest quality.

         In meeting its responsibilities, the Committee is expected to:

         1.       Review and reassess the adequacy of this Charter annually.

         2.       With respect to the Corporation's independent auditors:

                  a.       The Committee is responsible for the appointment,
                           compensation and oversight of the work of the
                           Corporation's independent auditors. The Committee
                           shall preapprove all auditing services (including the
                           provision of comfort letters) and non-audit services
                           provided by the independent auditors to the
                           Corporation, other than as may be allowed by
                           applicable law. The Committee may delegate to one or
                           more designated Committee members the authority to
                           grant preapprovals required by the foregoing
                           sentence. The decisions of any Committee member to
                           whom authority is delegated hereunder shall be
                           presented to the Committee at each of its scheduled
                           meetings. The independent auditors shall be
                           ultimately accountable to the Board and to the
                           Committee as representatives of the Corporation's
                           stockholders.

                  b.       Review the independence of the independent auditors,
                           including a review of management consulting services,
                           and related fees, provided by the independent
                           auditors. The Committee shall request that the
                           independent auditors at least annually to provide a
                           formal written statement delineating all
                           relationships between the independent auditors and
                           the Corporation consistent with the rules of the NASD
                           applicable to Nasdaq listed issuers and request
                           information from the independent auditors and
                           management to determine the presence or absence of a
                           conflict of interest. The Committee shall actively
                           engage the auditors in a dialogue with respect to any
                           disclosed relationships or services that may impact
                           the objectivity and independence of the auditors. The
                           Committee shall take, or recommend that the full
                           Board take, appropriate action to oversee the
                           independence of the auditors.

         3.       Review and concur with management on the need for an internal
                  audit department.

         4.       Review and discuss with management, before release, the
                  audited financial statements and the Management's Discussion
                  and Analysis proposed to be included in the Corporation's
                  Annual Report on Form 10-K or 10-KSB. Make a recommendation to
                  the Board whether or not the audited financial statements
                  should be included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form
                  10-K or 10-KSB.

         5.       In consultation with the independent auditors, the internal
                  audit department, if any, and management, consider and review

With respect to grants of Awards to Directors or Employees who are also Officers
or Directors of the Company, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or
(B) a Committee designated by the Board, which Committee shall be constituted in
such a manner as to satisfy the Applicable Laws and to permit such grants and

Exchange Act in accordance with Rule 16b 3. Once appointed, such Committee shall
continue to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the
Board.

                  (ii) ADMINISTRATION WITH RESPECT TO CONSULTANTS AND OTHER
EMPLOYEES. With respect to grants of Awards to Employees or Consultants who are
neither Directors nor Officers of the Company, the Plan shall be administered by

Directors eligible to serve on a committee making Awards qualifying as
Performance-Based Compensation. In the case of such Awards granted to Covered
Employees, references to the "Administrator" or to a "Committee" shall be deemed
to be references to such Committee or subcommittee.

                  (iv) ADMINISTRATION ERRORS. In the event an Award is granted
in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this subsection (a), such Award
shall be presumptively valid as of its grant date to the extent permitted by the
Applicable Laws.

provisions of the Plan (including any other powers given to the Administrator
hereunder), and except as otherwise provided by the Board, the Administrator
shall have the authority, in its discretion:

Awards may be granted from time to time hereunder;

                  (ii) to determine whether and to what extent Awards are
granted hereunder;

                  (iii) to determine the number of Shares or the amount of other
consideration to be covered by each Award granted hereunder;


                                      C-5


                  (iv) to approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the
Plan;

                  (v) to determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted
hereunder;

                  (vi) to amend the terms of any outstanding Award granted under
the Plan, provided that (A) any amendment that would adversely affect the
Grantee's rights under an outstanding Award shall not be made without the
Grantee's written consent, (B) the reduction of the exercise price of any Option
awarded under the Plan shall be subject to stockholder approval and (C)
canceling an Option at a time when its exercise price exceeds the Fair Market
Value of the underlying Shares, in exchange for another Option, Restricted
Stock, or other Award shall be subject to stockholder approval, unless the
cancellation and exchange occurs in connection with a Corporate Transaction;

                  (vii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and
Awards, including without limitation, any notice of award or Award Agreement,
granted pursuant to the Plan;

                  (viii) to grant Awards to Employees, Directors and Consultants
employed outside the United States on such terms and conditions different from
those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Administrator, be
necessary or desirable to further the purpose of the Plan; and

                  (ix) to take such other action, not inconsistent with the
terms of the Plan, as the Administrator deems appropriate.

            (c) INDEMNIFICATION. In addition to such other rights of
indemnification as they may have as members of the Board or as Officers or
Employees of the Company or a Related Entity, members of the Board and any
Officers or Employees of the Company or a Related Entity to whom authority to
act for the Board, the Administrator or the Company is delegated shall be
defended and indemnified by the Company to the extent permitted by law on an
after-tax basis against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees,
actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any claim,
investigation, action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal
therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action
taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan, or any Award
granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof
(provided such settlement is approved by the Company) or paid by them in
satisfaction of a judgment in any such claim, investigation, action, suit or
proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in
such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding that such person is liable
for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct; provided, however,
that within thirty (30) days after the institution of such claim, investigation,
action, suit or proceeding, such person shall offer to the Company, in writing,
the opportunity at the Company's expense to defend the same.

         5. ELIGIBILITY. Awards other than Incentive Stock Options may be
granted to Employees, Directors and Consultants. Incentive Stock Options may be
granted only to Employees of the Company or a Parent or a Subsidiary of the
Company. An Employee, Director or Consultant who has been granted an Award may,
if otherwise eligible, be granted additional Awards. Awards may be granted to
such Employees, Directors or Consultants who are residing in non-U.S.
jurisdictions as the Administrator may determine from time to time.

         6. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS.

            (a) TYPES OF AWARDS. The Administrator is authorized under the Plan
to award any type of arrangement to an Employee, Director or Consultant that is
not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan and that by its terms involves
or might involve the issuance of (i) Shares, (ii) cash or (iii) an Option, a
SAR, or similar right with a fixed or variable price related to the Fair Market
Value of the Shares and with an exercise or conversion privilege related to the
passage of time, the occurrence of one or more events, or the satisfaction of
performance criteria or other conditions. Such awards include, without
limitation, Options, SARs, sales or bonuses of Restricted Stock, Restricted
Stock Units or Dividend Equivalent Rights, and an Award may consist of one such
security or benefit, or two (2) or more of them in any combination or
alternative.


                                      C-6


            (b) DESIGNATION OF AWARD. Each Award shall be designated in the
Award Agreement. In the case of an Option, the Option shall be designated as
either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option. However,
notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market
Value of Shares subject to Options designated as Incentive Stock Options which
become exercisable for the first time by a Grantee during any calendar year
(under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company)
exceeds $100,000, such excess Options, to the extent of the Shares covered
thereby in excess of the foregoing limitation, shall be treated as Non-Qualified
Stock Options. For this purpose, Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into
account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of
the Shares shall be determined as of the grant date of the relevant Option.

            (c) CONDITIONS OF AWARD. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the
Administrator shall determine the provisions, terms, and conditions of each
Award including, but not limited to, the Award vesting schedule, repurchase
provisions, rights of first refusal, forfeiture provisions, form of payment
(cash, Shares, or other consideration) upon settlement of the Award, payment
contingencies, and satisfaction of any performance criteria. The performance
criteria established by the Administrator may be based on any one of, or
combination of, the following: (i) increase in share price, (ii) earnings per
share, (iii) total stockholder return, (iv) operating margin, (v) gross margin,
(vi) return on equity, (vii) return on assets, (viii) return on investment, (ix)
operating income, (x) net operating income, (xi) pre-tax profit, (xii) cash
flow, (xiii) revenue, (xiv) expenses, (xv) earnings before interest, taxes and
depreciation, (xvi) economic value added, (xvii) market share, (xviii) personal
management objectives, and (xix) other measures of performance selected by the
Administrator. Partial achievement of the specified criteria may result in a
payment or vesting corresponding to the degree of achievement as specified in
the Award Agreement.

            (d) ACQUISITIONS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS. The Administrator may issue
Awards under the Plan in settlement, assumption or substitution for, outstanding
awards or obligations to grant future awards in connection with the Company or a
Related Entity acquiring another entity, an interest in another entity or an
additional interest in a Related Entity whether by merger, stock purchase, asset
purchase or other form of transaction.

            (e) DEFERRAL OF AWARD PAYMENT. The Administrator may establish one
or more programs under the Plan to permit selected Grantees the opportunity to
elect to defer receipt of consideration upon exercise of an Award, satisfaction
of performance criteria, or other event that absent the election would entitle
the Grantee to payment or receipt of Shares or other consideration under an
Award. The Administrator may establish the election procedures, the timing of
such elections, the mechanisms for payments of, and accrual of interest or other
earnings, if any, on amounts, Shares or other consideration so deferred, and
such other terms, conditions, rules and procedures that the Administrator deems
advisable for the administration of any such deferral program.

            (f) SEPARATE PROGRAMS. The Administrator may establish one or more
separate programs under the Plan for the purpose of issuing particular forms of
Awards to one or more classes of Grantees on such terms and conditions as
determined by the Administrator from time to time.

            (g) INDIVIDUAL LIMITATIONS ON AWARDS.

                  (i) INDIVIDUAL LIMIT FOR OPTIONS AND SARs. The maximum number
of Shares with respect to which Options and SARs may be granted to any Grantee
in any calendar year shall be 1,000,000 Shares. In connection with a Grantee's
commencement of Continuous Service, a Grantee may be granted Options or SARs for
up to an additional 500,000 Shares which shall not count against the limit set
forth in the previous sentence. The foregoing limitations shall be adjusted
proportionately in connection with any change in the Company's capitalization
pursuant to Section 10, below. To the extent required by Section 162(m) of the
Code or the regulations thereunder, in applying the foregoing limitations with
respect to a Grantee, if any Option or SAR is canceled, the canceled Option or
SAR shall continue to count against the maximum number of Shares with respect to
which Options and SARs may be granted to the Grantee. For this purpose, the
repricing of an Option (or in the case of a SAR, the base amount on which the
stock appreciation is calculated is reduced to reflect a reduction in the Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock) shall be treated as the cancellation of the
existing Option or SAR and the grant of a new Option or SAR.

                  (ii) INDIVIDUAL LIMIT FOR RESTRICTED STOCK AND RESTRICTED
STOCK UNITS. For awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units that are
intended to be Performance-Based Compensation, the maximum number of Shares with
respect to which such Awards may be granted to any Grantee in any calendar year
shall be 1,000,000 Shares. The foregoing limitation shall be adjusted
proportionately in connection with any change in the Company's capitalization
pursuant to Section 10, below.


                                      C-7


                  (iii) DEFERRAL. If the vesting or receipt of Shares under an
Award is deferred to a later date, any amount (whether denominated in Shares or
cash) paid in addition to the original number of Shares subject to such Award
will not be treated as an increase in the number of Shares subject to the Award
if the additional amount is based either on a reasonable rate of interest or on
one or more predetermined actual investments such that the amount payable by the
Company at the later date will be based on the actual rate of return of a
specific investment (including any decrease as well as any increase in the value
of an investment).

            (h) EARLY EXERCISE. The Award Agreement may, but need not, include a
provision whereby the Grantee may elect at any time while an Employee, Director
or Consultant to exercise any part or all of the Award prior to full vesting of
the Award. Any unvested Shares received pursuant to such exercise may be subject
to a repurchase right in favor of the Company or a Related Entity or to any
other restriction the Administrator determines to be appropriate.

            (i) TERM OF AWARD. The term of each Award shall be the term stated
in the Award Agreement, provided, however, that the term of an Incentive Stock
Option shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof.
However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Grantee who, at
the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent
(10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent
or Subsidiary of the Company, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be
five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be
provided in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the specified
term of any Award shall not include any period for which the Grantee has elected
to defer the receipt of the Shares or cash issuable pursuant to the Award.

            (j) TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS. Incentive Stock Options may not be
sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner
other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be
exercised, during the lifetime of the Grantee, only by the Grantee. Other Awards
shall be transferable (i) by will and by the laws of descent and distribution
and (ii) during the lifetime of the Grantee, to the extent and in the manner
authorized by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee may
designate one or more beneficiaries of the Grantee's Award in the event of the
Grantee's death on a beneficiary designation form provided by the Administrator.

            (k) TIME OF GRANTING AWARDS. The date of grant of an Award shall for
all purposes be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination to
grant such Award, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator.

         7. AWARD EXERCISE OR PURCHASE PRICE, CONSIDERATION AND TAXES.

            (a) EXERCISE OR PURCHASE PRICE. The exercise or purchase price, if
any, for an Award shall be as follows:

                  (i) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option:

                           (A) granted to an Employee who, at the time of the
grant of such Incentive Stock Option owns stock representing more than ten
percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any
Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, the per Share exercise price shall be not
less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on
the date of grant; or

                           (B) granted to any Employee other than an Employee
described in the preceding paragraph, the per Share exercise price shall be not
less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the
date of grant.

                  (ii) In the case of Options or SARs intended to qualify as
Performance-Based Compensation, the exercise or base appreciation amount shall
be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share
on the date of grant.

                  (iii) In the case of other Awards, such price as is determined
by the Administrator.

                                      C-8


                  (iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
7(a), in the case of an Award issued pursuant to Section 6(d), above, the
exercise or purchase price for the Award shall be determined in accordance with
the provisions of the relevant instrument evidencing the agreement to issue such
Award.

            (b) CONSIDERATION. Subject to Applicable Laws, the consideration to
be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise or purchase of an Award
including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator (and,
in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be determined at the time of
grant). In addition to any other types of consideration the Administrator may
determine, the Administrator is authorized to accept as consideration for Shares
issued under the Plan the following, provided that the portion of the
consideration equal to the par value of the Shares must be paid in cash or other
legal consideration permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law:

                  (i) cash;

                  (ii) check;

                  (iii) if the exercise or purchase occurs on or after the
Registration Date, surrender of Shares or delivery of a properly executed form
of attestation of ownership of Shares as the Administrator may require which
have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender or attestation equal to the
aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Award shall be
exercised, provided, however, that Shares acquired under the Plan or any other
equity compensation plan or agreement of the Company must have been held by the
Grantee for a period of more than six (6) months (and not used for another Award
exercise by attestation during such period);

                  (iv) with respect to Options, if the exercise occurs on or
after the Registration Date, payment through a broker-dealer sale and remittance
procedure pursuant to which the Grantee (A) shall provide written instructions
to a Company designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of some or
all of the purchased Shares and remit to the Company sufficient funds to cover
the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased Shares and (B) shall
provide written directives to the Company to deliver the certificates for the
purchased Shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale
transaction; or

                  (v) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

The Administrator may at any time or from time to time, by adoption of or by
amendment to the standard forms of Award Agreement described in Section
4(b)(iv), or by other means, grant Awards which do not permit all of the
foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment for the Shares or which
otherwise restrict one or more forms of consideration.

            (c) TAXES. No Shares shall be delivered under the Plan to any
Grantee or other person until such Grantee or other person has made arrangements
acceptable to the Administrator for the satisfaction of any non-U.S., federal,
state, or local income and employment tax withholding obligations, including,
without limitation, obligations incident to the receipt of Shares or the
disqualifying disposition of Shares received on exercise of an Incentive Stock
Option. Upon exercise of an Award the Company shall withhold or collect from
Grantee an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations.

         8. EXERCISE OF AWARD.

            (a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder.

                  (i) Any Award granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such
times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator under the
terms of the Plan and specified in the Award Agreement.

                  (ii) An Award shall be deemed to be exercised when written
notice of such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the
terms of the Award by the person entitled to exercise the Award and full payment
for the Shares with respect to which the Award is exercised, including, to the
extent selected, use of the broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure to pay
the purchase price as provided in Section 7(b)(iv).

            (b) Exercise of Award Following Termination of Continuous Service.


                                      C-9


                  (i) An Award may not be exercised after the termination date
of such Award set forth in the Award Agreement and may be exercised following
the termination of a Grantee's Continuous Service only to the extent provided in
the Award Agreement.

                  (ii) Where the Award Agreement permits a Grantee to exercise
an Award following the termination of the Grantee's Continuous Service for a
specified period, the Award shall terminate to the extent not exercised on the
last day of the specified period or the last day of the original term of the
Award, whichever occurs first.

                  (iii) Any Award designated as an Incentive Stock Option to the
extent not exercised within the time permitted by law for the exercise of
Incentive Stock Options following the termination of a Grantee's Continuous
Service shall convert automatically to a Non-Qualified Stock Option and
thereafter shall be exercisable as such to the extent exercisable by its terms
for the period specified in the Award Agreement.

         9. CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES.

            (a) Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award
unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares
pursuant thereto shall comply with all Applicable Laws, and shall be further
subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance.

            (b) As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may
require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of
any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and
without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any
Applicable Laws.

         10. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION. Subject to any required
action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of Shares covered by each
outstanding Award, and the number of Shares which have been authorized for
issuance under the Plan but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or which
have been returned to the Plan, the exercise or purchase price of each such
outstanding Award, the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Awards may
be granted to any Grantee in any calendar year, as well as any other terms that
the Administrator determines require adjustment shall be proportionately
adjusted for (i) any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares
resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination
or reclassification of the Shares, or similar transaction affecting the Shares,
(ii) any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares effected
without receipt of consideration by the Company, or (iii) as the Administrator
may determine in its discretion, any other transaction with respect to Common
Stock including a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or
stock, separation (including a spin-off or other distribution of stock or
property), reorganization, liquidation (whether partial or complete) or any
similar transaction; provided, however that conversion of any convertible
securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without
receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator
and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as the
Administrator determines, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any
class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall
affect, and no adjustment by reason hereof shall be made with respect to, the
number or price of Shares subject to an Award.

         11. CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS AND CHANGES IN CONTROL.

            (a) TERMINATION OF AWARD TO EXTENT NOT ASSUMED IN CORPORATE
TRANSACTION. Effective upon the consummation of a Corporate Transaction, all
outstanding Awards under the Plan shall terminate. However, all such Awards
shall not terminate to the extent they are Assumed in connection with the
Corporate Transaction.

            (b) ACCELERATION OF AWARD UPON CORPORATE TRANSACTION OR CHANGE IN
CONTROL. The Administrator shall have the authority, exercisable either in
advance of any actual or anticipated Corporate Transaction or Change in Control
or at the time of an actual Corporate Transaction or Change in Control and
exercisable at the time of the grant of an Award under the Plan or any time
while an Award remains outstanding, to provide for the full or partial automatic
vesting and exercisability of one or more outstanding unvested Awards under the


                                      C-10


Plan and the release from restrictions on transfer and repurchase or forfeiture
rights of such Awards in connection with a Corporate Transaction or Change in
Control, on such terms and conditions as the Administrator may specify. The
Administrator also shall have the authority to condition any such Award vesting
and exercisability or release from such limitations upon the subsequent
termination of the Continuous Service of the Grantee within a specified period
following the effective date of the Corporate Transaction or Change in Control.
The Administrator may provide that any Awards so vested or released from such
limitations in connection with a Change in Control, shall remain fully
exercisable until the expiration or sooner termination of the Award.

            (c) EFFECT OF ACCELERATION ON INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. Any Incentive
Stock Option accelerated under this Section 11 in connection with a Corporate
Transaction or Change in Control shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Stock
Option under the Code only to the extent the $100,000 dollar limitation of
Section 422(d) of the Code is not exceeded. To the extent such dollar limitation
is exceeded, the excess Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options.

         12. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF PLAN. The Plan shall become effective
upon its approval by the stockholders of the Company. It shall continue in
effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated. Subject to
Applicable Laws, Awards may be granted under the Plan upon its becoming
effective.

         13. AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

            (a) The Board may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made without the approval of
the Company's stockholders to the extent such approval is required by Applicable
Laws, or if such amendment would change any of the provisions of Section
4(b)(vi) or this Section 13(a).

            (b) No Award may be granted during any suspension of the Plan or
after termination of the Plan.

                  (c) No suspension or termination of the Plan (including
termination of the Plan under Section 11(b), above) shall adversely affect any
rights under Awards already granted to a Grantee.

         14. RESERVATION OF SHARES.

            (a) The Company, during the term of the Plan, will at all times
reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to
satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

            (b) The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any
regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's
counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder,
shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or
sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been
obtained.

         15. NO EFFECT ON TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT/CONSULTING RELATIONSHIP. The Plan
shall not confer upon any Grantee any right with respect to the Grantee's
Continuous Service, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or
the right of the Company or any Related Entity to terminate the Grantee's
Continuous Service at any time, with or without Cause, and with or without
notice. The ability of the Company or any Related Entity to terminate the
employment of a Grantee who is employed at will is in no way affected by its
determination that the Grantee's Continuous Service has been terminated for
Cause for the purposes of this Plan.

         16. NO EFFECT ON RETIREMENT AND OTHER BENEFIT PLANS. Except as
specifically provided in a retirement or other benefit plan of the Company or a
Related Entity, Awards shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of
computing benefits or contributions under any retirement plan of the Company or
a Related Entity, and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan
of any kind or any benefit plan subsequently instituted under which the
availability or amount of benefits is related to level of compensation. The Plan
is not a "Retirement Plan" or "Welfare Plan" under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

         17. UNFUNDED OBLIGATION. Grantees shall have the status of general
unsecured creditors of the Company. Any amounts payable to Grantees pursuant to
the Plan shall be unfunded and unsecured obligations for all purposes,
including, without limitation, Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended. Neither the Company nor any Related Entity
shall be required to segregate any monies from its general funds, or to create
any trusts, or establish any special accounts with respect to such obligations.
The Company shall retain at all times beneficial ownership of any investments,

                                      C-11


including trust investments, which the Company may make to fulfill its payment
obligations hereunder. Any investments or the creation or maintenance of any
trust or any Grantee account shall not create or constitute a trust or fiduciary
relationship between the Administrator, the Company or any Related Entity and a
Grantee, or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Grantee or
the Grantee's creditors in any assets of the Company or a Related Entity. The
Grantees shall have no claim against the Company or any Related Entity for any
changes in the value of any assets that may be invested or reinvested by the
Company with respect to the Plan.

         18. CONSTRUCTION. Captions and titles contained herein are for
convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any
provision of the Plan. Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the
singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. Use
of the term "or" is not intended to be exclusive, unless the context clearly
requires otherwise.
