ARTICLE I
PLAN OF EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES
1.1 Plan of Exchange. The parties intend to exchange securities such
that JCA shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of NAGM and the shareholders
of JCA shall effectively acquire voting and operational control of NAGM through
a "reverse acquisition." It is the intention of the parties hereto that this
entire transaction qualify as a corporate reorganization under Section
368(a)(1)(B) of the Code, and related or other applicable sections hereunder.
However, neither party is making any representations or warranties regarding
the tax treatment of this transaction.
(a) Reverse Stock Split. Subsequent to the closing of this transaction
upon obtaining approval of the shareholders, NAGM will effect a 1 for 10
reverse stock split effectively lowering its issued and outstanding shares to
approximately 45,000,000 issued and outstanding securities, on a fully diluted
basis. The rights and privileges associated with any outstanding options,
warrants or other securities shall be reversed correspondingly such that the
total capitalization of NAGM at the time of closing of this agreement shall be
equal to or less than 2,570,500 issuable shares of common stock on a fully
diluted basis, prior to the conversion of the Series "C" Convertible Preferred
Shares.
(b) Issuance of Series "C" Convertible Preferred Shares. At closing
NAGM will cause 500,000 newly issued shares of Series "C" Convertible Preferred
voting stock to Sellers, which shares shall each convert at a rate of 843
shares of common voting shares for each share of Series "C" Convertible
Preferred collectively represent not less than 93.6% of the total outstanding
common shares on a fully diluted basis. The Series "C" Convertible Preferred
voting stock shall be reduced by 10,676 shares in consideration of the payments
called for in 1.3(c) and 1.4 hereunder. NAGM shall authorize sufficient shares
to permit the valid and lawful issuance of certificates at closing. The
certificates shall bear NAGM's standard restrictive legend applicable to
unregistered shares. Subsequent to the Closing NAGM shall hold a stockholder
vote to authorize up to 500,000,000 shares of common voting stock to permit
conversion of the Series "C" Convertible Preferred Shares to common voting
shares and to authorize reverse stock split.
(c) Compliance with Chinese "WOFE" Regulations.. The parties
acknowledge that approval from Xi'An City and/or Shaanxi provincial governments
in the PRC may be required for transfer by JCA to NAGM and therefore give
advance consent to nominal changes needed for such approval. If necessary, in
the opinion of Chinese counsel, this may include transfer of 100% shares of JCA
to Best Century Investment Limited (BCI), a Hong Kong entity, which is a
nominee company of JCA, and JCA will be a wholly owned foreign entity (WOFE).
Provided, however, that the nominal transfer shall not alter the valuation or
operations of JCA. In that event, all of JCA's rights, responsibilities and
benefits under this Agreement shall be assigned to and assumed by BCI.
(d) Reverse Triangular Merger. The parties intend that this exchange
will be tax free under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code to the fullest
extent possible. If necessary in the opinion of tax counsel to preserve tax
free status, NAGM establish a special purpose Delaware corporation as a wholly
owned subsidiary designated as NAGM Merger Corporation or some similar name.
JCA shall merge with NAGM Merger Corporation and shall be the surviving entity.
The Board of Directors and Management of NAGM and JCA shall consent to all acts
reasonably necessary for the establishment of NAGM Merger Corporation and the
subsequent merger. To the extent required by applicable law, the merger shall
be approved by the shareholders of both corporation and this Acquisition
Agreement shall be incorporated by reference into any Plan of Exchange between
the companies. NAGM will file Articles of Merger or similar Articles effecting
the merger under Delaware law.
1.2 Cash Consideration and Escrow Requirements. JCA as further
consideration shall pay Three Hundred Fifty Thousand U. S. Dollars
($350,000.00) cash to NAGM at closing. These funds shall be used by NAGM to
liquidate and remove all debts or liabilities of NAGM incurred prior to
closing, including payments to its attorneys and consultants, as provided
herein under the heading "Distribution at Closing." JCA shall deposit $50,000
US Dollars in escrow with escrow agent on September 30, 2006, after completion
of due diligence. JCA shall have delivered to its escrow agent, Xxxxxxx X.
Xxxxxxx, sufficiently prior to closing, cleared funds in U.S. Dollars
sufficient to permit wire transfer on the date of closing.
1.3 Distribution at Closing. At closing, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx as escrow
agent shall be authorized to deliver proceeds totaling Three Hundred Fifty
Thousand U.S. Dollars ($350,000.00) cash as follows:
(a) Cash. At least One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00)

escrow agent a schedule of debts identifying the creditor, creditor's address,
amount owed, account number, if any, whether debt is disputed, payment or
wiring instructions. Any sums remaining after payment of outstanding debts and
liabilities shall be delivered to NAGM for disbursement in its discretion by
its current board of directors.
(b) Consulting Fees. From the cash consideration, the sum of $200,000
or other sum to be agreed between Capital Advisory Services and NAGM shall be
paid hereunder by JCA to Capital Advisory Services, Inc. by NAGM at Closing in
satisfaction of obligations of NAGM for legal and consulting fees incurred
prior to closing.
(c) Distribution of Securities. NAGM shall cause 4,500,000 shares of
newly issued common voting shares to be issued Capital Advisory Services, Inc.
in satisfaction of obligations of NAGM for legal and consulting fees incurred
prior to closing and shall reduce the Series "C" Convertible Preferred payable
to JCA by 5,338 shares. The shares shall be afforded "piggyback" registration
rights whereby the shares will be registered by NAGM at NAGM expense if NAGM
registers any other shares..
1.4 Shareholder Share Xxxxxxxx.Xx closing, 3,800,000 shares, which
have been held longer that 2 years by non affiliates of NAGM shall be
transferred to JCA or its designees in exchange for 4,500,000 newly issued
shares of NAGM (pre-split) common voting shares. To effect this condition,
NAGM shall cause to be issued 2,250,000 newly issued common voting shares at
closing to Xxxx Xxxx, a citizen resident of Tulsa, Oklahoma in exchange
for 2,090,000 shares, which have been held by Mr. Case for more than 2 years.
In addition, NAGM shall also issue 2,250,000 newly issued (pre-split) common
voting shares at closing to Xxxxx Xxxxxx, a citizen and resident of Los
Angeles, California in exchange for 1,710,000 shares, which have been held by
Xx. Xxxxxx for more than 2 years.
1.5 Lockup-Leakout Agreement. The officers, directors and affiliates
of NAGM shall execute at closing lockup-leakout agreements ("lockup") in a form
suitable to counsel for JCA. Under the terms of the lockup, the current
officers, directors and affiliates shall agree that no restrictive legends
shall be removed nor shall any sales of restricted shares be completed, whether
in compliance with Rule 144 or otherwise, for a 90 day period following
closing.
Specifically, NAGM shareholders, Xx Xxxxx and any shareholder entities
controlled by him, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxx shall be subject to a lock
up leak out agreement executed and delivered at Closing The parties to the
lockup shall further agree that the company shall remove the restrictive legend
regarding the lock-up agreement and permit sales on a pro-rata basis thereafter
on the following schedule provided that the selling party complies with Rule
144 in effecting such sales:
(a) 5,000,000 pre-reverse split shares collectively shall be released
and permitted for resale after the expiration of 90 days following
closing until the expiration of 180 days following closing;
(b) 5,000,000 pre-reverse split shares collectively shall be released
and permitted for resale after the expiration of 180 days following
closing until the expiration of 270 days following closing;
(c) 5,000,000 pre-reverse split shares collectively shall be released
and permitted for resale after the expiration of 271 days following
closing until the expiration of 360 days following closing.
(d) On the one year anniversary date of closing, the lockup shall
expire and all remaining shares shall be eligible for the removal of
the restrictive legend and resale in accordance with law.
1.6 Exemption from Registration. The parties hereto intend that the
NAGM Shares to be issued to the Sellers shall be exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The parties believe
these transactions are private placements within the meaning of the rules and
regulations under the Securities Act. Each of these entities separately, and
through their intermediaries, had a pre-existing relationship that had existed
for at least 30 days. NAGM will rely upon the exemptions from registration
provided by Regulation S, Section 4(2) and Regulation D of the Securities Act,
and on comparable exemptions under the China Corporation Act and the China
Securities Act and other state and foreign laws. We believe these exemptions
were available because the issuances were made to a de minimus number of
sophisticated persons, in transactions not involving a private offering.
1.7 Change of Board Control. At closing, the current Board of
Directors shall tender resignations effective on Closing. Immediately prior to
resigning, the Board shall hold a meeting in compliance with the notice or
waiver of notice requirements of NAGM and shall then adopt resolutions fixing
the size of its Board of Directors of not less than three nor more than nine
directors, and shall elect a new Board of Directors which shall include in a
shareholder vote and upon filing a Schedule 14F-1 in compliance with Rule 14F
of the Securities Exchange Act:
Gao Xxx Xxxx Chair
Lei Tie Xxxxx Director
Effective on the Closing Date, NAGM shall elect new officers of NAGM to
consist of, at least, the following persons:
Gao Xxx Xxxx President and Executive Director
Lei Tie Xxxxx Supervisor
1.8 Closing. This AGREEMENT shall become effective immediately upon
approval and adoption by the parties hereto, in the manner provided by the law
of the places of incorporation and constituent corporate documents, and upon
compliance with governmental filing requirements, such as, without limitation,
filings under the Exchange Act , as such, JCA must document to NAGM's
satisfaction that it is prepared to file a Form 8-K within four business days
of closing that meets the requirements in Form 8-K for the acquisition of a
"shell" company. Closing shall occur when all conditions of closing have been
met or are waived by the parties, including all required government approvals.
The parties anticipate the filing of a Schedule 14F-1 Information Statement at
least ten days prior to any change in majority of the Board of Directors of
NAGM The Parties expect to make such filing after the Closing. The closing of
the Agreement (the "Closing") shall take place in Charlotte, North Carolina, at
the offices of attorney Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx immediately after all conditions have
been removed or as soon thereafter as all regulatory approvals have been
obtained, or at such other place and time as the parties may otherwise agree.
1.9 Due Diligence. Each party shall have furnished to the other party
certain corporate and financial information to conduct its respective due
diligence. If any party determines that there is a reason not to complete the
Agreement as a result of their due diligence examination, then they must give
written notice to the other party prior to the expiration of the due diligence
examination period.
NAGM shall have delivered to JCA copies of each of the following which

date: (i) the Certificate of Incorporation of NAGM as of the Closing date

of internal control or other deficiency; and (v) good standing Certificate of
NAGM.

in English and Mandarin, to the effect that counsel has reviewed (i) the
Articles of Incorporation (ii) the Bylaws (iii) resolutions of the Board of
Directors and (iv) the most recent audit report and auditor's letter and found
JCA and XJAI to be in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations
pertinent to JCA under the laws of the PRC and that the transactions hereby
have been authorized and approved by the governing bodies of JCA and XJAI and
all governmental and regulatory authority.
1.10 Representations and Warranties Correct. The representations and
warranties made by the Parties herein shall have been true and correct when
made and shall be true and correct on and as of the Closing date with the same
force and effect as though made on and as of the Closing date. All
authorizations, approvals or permits of any governmental authority or
regulatory body that are required in connection with the lawful issuance and
sale of the NAGM Stock and the sale of JCA Stock pursuant to this Agreement
shall have been duly obtained and shall be in full force and effect.

any time prior to closing, (i) by mutual consent, (ii) by either party during
the due diligence phase, (iii) by either party, in the event that the
