business judgment that the issuance of the Purchased Shares is in the best
interests of the Company.

The Company represents that there are no parties entitled to receive fees,
commissions, or similar payments in connection with the Offering.

Shares. In the event the Share Exchange Transaction is not consummated on
or before the Closing Date, the aggregate purchase price in the Escrow shall be
released and the Escrow Agent shall deliver to each Subscriber the Purchase
Price paid by each such Subscriber within ten (10) business days after it is
determined that the Share Exchange Transaction will not be

financing in order to fund future development and expansion of its business. The
Company cannot be certain that it will be able to obtain additional funding in

future.

governmental charges or levies imposed upon the income, profits, property or
business of the Company; provided, however, that any such tax, assessment,
charge or levy need not be paid if the validity thereof shall currently be
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and if the Company shall have
set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto, and provided,
further, that the Company will pay all such taxes, assessments, charges or
levies forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien
which may have attached as security therefore.

accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent
basis.

properties or assets.

and reasonably deemed to be necessary to the conduct of its business, unless it
is sold for value.

the date of this Agreement and until the date which is two (2) years after the
Closing Date, the Company will keep its properties in good repair, working order
and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and from time to time make all
necessary and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and improvements
thereto; and the Company will at all times comply with each provision of all
leases to which it is a party or under which it occupies property if the breach
of such provision could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(n) Non-Public
Information. The Company covenants and agrees that neither it
nor any other person acting on its behalf will provide any Subscriber or its
agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes
material non-public information, unless prior thereto in each instance such

be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no
rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
(k) Acceptance. Upon
the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Subscriber, this Agreement
shall become a binding obligation of the Subscriber with respect to the purchase
of the Purchased Shares as herein provided, subject to acceptance by the
Company; subject, however, to the right hereby reserved to the Company to enter
into the same agreements with other Subscribers and to add and/or delete other
persons as Subscribers.
(l) Waiver. It
is agreed that a waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this
Agreement shall not operate, or be construed, as a waiver of any subsequent
breach by that same party.

Statements. The Subscriber agrees not to issue any public
statement with respect to the Subscriber’s investment or proposed investment in
the Company or the terms of any agreement or covenant between them and the
