shareholders or the board of directors of the Company or the Public Company.

satisfaction of the following conditions and in the following sequence: (a)
confirmation from the Escrow Agent, as identified in the Escrow Agreement, that
the proceeds from the Minimum Offering are on deposit; (b) participation by the
each of the subscribers to the Offering in that certain exchange transaction
(the "Exchange"), whereby each subscriber and all other shareholders of the
Company will exchange their Common Shares for the identical number of shares
(the "Public Company Shares") of a corporation domiciled in the United States of
America which has common equity securities eligible for quotation on the
1
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the "Public Company"); and (c) the Public
Company files a registration statement on a suitable form (the "Registration
Statement") with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to register the

such time as each of the forgoing has been completed. Certificates will be
issued in the name of each such subscriber, and the name of such subscriber will
be registered on the stock transfer books of the Public Company as the record
owner of Public Company Shares. The Public Company will promptly thereafter
issue to each subscriber a stock certificate for the Public Company Shares to
which it is entitled.

Company's securities become eligible for quotation on the NASDAQ Stock Market.
(m) Executive management of the Company will escrow 10% of their

fiscal 2006 is not achieved, the balance of the Make Good Shares will be
delivered to participants in the Offering within ten (10) business days of the
date the audit report for the period is filed with the SEC. If the Guaranteed NI
is achieved for a given fiscal year, holders of the Make Good Shares can
immediately take possession of the number of said shares reserved for
distribution during said period to participants in the Offering. In the event
the Make Good Shares are delivered to participants in the Offering, the holders
thereof shall be afforded demand registration rights to have the Make Good
Shares registered under the Securities Act.

transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Common Shares or the Public Company
Shares in violation of the Securities Act or State Acts and acknowledges that,

Securities Act and State Acts or an exemption from such registration is
available.
