organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware.
Buyer has the corporate power and authority to own, operate and lease its
properties and to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be
conducted, and is duly qualified to transact business as a foreign corporation
in each jurisdiction in which its failure to be so qualified would have a
material adverse effect. As used in this Agreement, the term "Material Adverse
Effect" when used with reference to Buyer (either alone or collectively with all
Buyer subsidiaries and shareholders) means any event, change, or effect that is
or with the passage of time will be materially adverse to Buyer's condition,
including, but not limited to, financial or otherwise, properties, assets,
liabilities, business, operations, or results of operations, it being understood
that none of the following shall be deemed by itself or by themselves, either
alone or in combination, to constitute a Material Adverse Effect, any effect
arising out of or resulting from actions contemplated by the parties in
connection with the announcement of this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated herein.
3.2.2 Power and Authority of Buyer. Buyer has the right, power, legal
capacity and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and perform such Buyer
obligations under this Agreement and has the requisite power and authority to
consummate the Exchange, in each case, subject only to the regulatory approval
set forth herein. Further, no filing, authorization, consent, approval or order,
governmental or otherwise, required by Delaware law is necessary or required to
be made or obtained by the Buyer to enable the Buyer to lawfully enter into, and
to perform the respective obligations under this Agreement. Further, this
Agreement, when executed by the Buyer or its authorized representative, will
constitute a valid and binding obligation of Buyer and its shareholders,
enforceable in accordance with the terms described herein, except as to the
effect, if any of (i) applicable bankruptcy and other similar laws affecting the
rights of creditors generally and (ii) rules of law governing specific
performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.
16
3.2.3 Validity. All representations, warranties, and other statements
made by Buyer in this Agreement, and all other agreements, reports, audits
included herein, executed prior to, concurrent or subsequent to the Closing
hereto are i) true and correct, and ii) shall be deemed to be representations
and warranties made pursuant to this Section for all purposes of this Agreement.
3.2.4 Broker's Fees. No agent, broker, investment banker, person or
firm acting on behalf of Buyer or under its authority is or will be entitled to
any broker's or finder's fee or any other commission or similar fee, directly or
indirectly, in connection with any of the transactions contemplated herein.
3.2.5 Capitalization of Buyer. As of March 28, 2003, the issued and
outstanding capital stock of the Buyer consisted entirely of Eight Million Eight
Hundred Ninety-five Thousand (8,895,000) shares of $.001 par value common stock,
all of which were owned and held by Buyer's shareholders. As of March 28, 2003,
there were no outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Buyer's common stock.
All issued and outstanding shares of Buyer have been duly authorized and validly
issued, are fully paid and non-assessable, are not subject to any claim, lien,
preemptive right or right of rescission (other than the rights of all companies
organized under Delaware law to repurchase shares), and have been offered,
issued, sold and delivered by Buyer (and, if applicable transferred) in
compliance with all registration or qualification requirements (or applicable
exemptions therefrom) of all applicable securities laws, Buyer's Articles of
Incorporation, all other corporate or charter documents, and all agreements to
which Buyer or the Buyer's shareholders are a party.
3.2.6 No Violation of Existing Agreements. Neither the execution and
delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the Exchange or any of the
other transactions contemplated herein, will conflict with, or (with or without
notice or lapse of time, or both) result in a termination, breach, impairment,
or violation of: i) any organizational, corporate, or other resolution of Buyer
currently in effect; ii) any national, state, or local judgment, writ, decree,
levy, order, statute, rule or regulation applicable to Buyer or its assets or
properties; or iii) any material instrument, agreement, contract, letter of
intent or commitment to which Buyer is a party or by which Buyer or its assets
or properties are or were bound, except as such conflicts, terminations,
breaches, impairments, or violations as would not have a Material Adverse
Effect.
17
3.2.7 Litigation. As of the date hereof, there is no action, suit,
arbitration, mediation, proceeding, claim or investigation pending against Buyer
or against any officer or director of Buyer, or to the best of the knowledge of
Buyer and Buyer's shareholders, against any employee, agent, service or in their
capacity as such or relating to their employment, services or relationship with
Buyer, before any court, administrative agency or arbitrator that, if determined
adversely, or brought against any of the above may reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect on Buyer, nor, to the best of Buyer's knowledge
has any such action, suit, proceeding, arbitration, mediation, claim or
investigation been threatened. Except as would not have a Material Adverse
Effect, and save for the regulatory approvals required hereunder, there is no
basis for any person, firm, corporation or other entity, to assert a claim
against Buyer or Buyer based upon Buyer entering into this Agreement or
consummating the Exchange; and, further, there is no basis for any person, firm,
corporation, or other entity, to assert a claim against Buyer based upon i) any
claims of ownership, rights to ownership, or options, warrants or other rights
to acquire ownership, of any shares of the capital stock of Buyer; or ii) any
rights as a Buyer's shareholder, including any option, warrant or preemptive
rights or rights to notice or vote. To the best of Buyer's knowledge, there is
no judgment, decree, injunction, rule or order of any governmental entity or
agency, court or arbitrator outstanding against Buyer. Neither Buyer nor any of
its executive officers, directors or affiliates, promoters or control persons
have been subject to any of the following:
(a) Any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of
which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time
of the bankruptcy or within two (2) years prior to that time;
(b) Any conviction in a criminal proceeding or any pending
criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
(c) Any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed,
suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or
temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her
involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and
(d) Being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil
action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law,
and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.
18
3.2.8 Disclosure. Buyer has made available to the Company a disclosure
package (the "Buyer's Disclosure Package"), consisting of those documents
reasonably requested by the Company, including, but not limited to, all
Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
3.2.9 Financial Condition. There has been no material adverse change in
the financial condition or business of Buyer, taken as a whole, since the date
of the most recent financial statements included in the Buyer Disclosure

be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free of
liens and encumbrances created by Buyer; (ii) be free and clear of any transfer
restrictions, liens and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer under
applicable securities laws.
3.3 Representations and Warranties of Shareholders. Each Shareholder, for
himself, herself or itself, warrants that those Shares held of record by such
Shareholder are fully paid, non-assessable and free of liens and encumbrances,
and are free and clear of any transfer restrictions except for restrictions on
transfer under applicable securities laws. Each Shareholder, for himself,
herself or itself, warrants that no agent, broker, investment banker, person or
firm acting on behalf of such Shareholder or under their authority is or will be
entitled to any broker's or finder's fee or any other commission or similar fee,
directly or indirectly, in connection with any of the transactions contemplated
herein.
3.3.1 Acquisition Intent of Shareholders. Shareholders are acquiring
the Exchange Shares for their own accounts and not with an intention of
distribution within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended ("Securities Act"). Each of the Shareholders represents and confirms
to the Buyer that he or she (i) is an accredited investor within the meaning of
Rule 501(a) pursuant to the Securities Act or, if not such an accredited
investor, has, alone or together with a purchaser representative within the
meaning of Rule 501(h) pursuant to the Securities Act, such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of an investment in the Buyer's securities; (ii) is aware of
the limits on resale of the Exchange Shares imposed because of the nature of the
Exchange and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, but not limited
to, restrictions specified by Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and
19
Exchange Commission; and (iii) is receiving the Exchange Shares without
registration pursuant to the Securities Act, in reliance on the exemption from
registration specified in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for investment, and
without any intent to sell, resell, or otherwise distribute the Exchange Shares
in any manner that is in violation of the Securities Act. The certificates
representing the Exchange Shares, when delivered to the Shareholders, may have
appropriate orders restricting transfer placed against them on the records of
the transfer agent for such securities, and may have placed upon them the
following legend:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM
REGISTRATION PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. THOSE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE
TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, UNLESS THE
TRANSFEROR FIRST SATISFIES THE ISSUER AND ITS COUNSEL THAT THE PROPOSED
TRANSFER, IN THE MANNER PROPOSED, DOES NOT VIOLATE THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
OF THAT ACT.
Each Shareholder agrees not to attempt any transfer of any of the Exchange
Shares without first complying with the substance of that legend and agrees that
the satisfaction of the Buyer may, if the Buyer so requests, depend in part upon
an opinion of counsel acceptable in form and substance to the Buyer, a no-action
letter of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or equivalent
evidence. Each of the Shareholders acknowledges, without limitation, that the
foregoing agreement and representation shall apply to the Exchange Shares issued
to such Shareholders.
3.4 Mutual Covenants.
3.4.1 Fulfillment of Closing Conditions. At or prior to the Closing,
each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to fulfill, and to cause
each other to fulfill, as soon as practicable after the Effective Date of this
Agreement, the conditions specified in Article 2 hereinabove to the extent that
the fulfillment of such conditions are within its control. In connection with
the foregoing, each party will (a) refrain from any actions that would cause any

take any reasonable actions within its control that would be necessary to
prevent its representations and warranties from being inaccurate as of the
Closing, (b) execute and deliver the applicable agreements and other documents
referred to in this Agreement, (c) comply with all applicable laws in connection
with its execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Exchange,

regarding management of the Company's employees and related employment
decisions. The Company shall remain solely responsible for all liabilities
arising out of or related to the actual or constructive termination of
employment of any employee of the Company.
3.4.3 Disclosure of Certain Matters. Each party to this Agreement shall
promptly notify every other party of any event or development that occurs that
(a) had it existed or been known on the date hereof would have been required to
be disclosed by such party under this Agreement, (b) would cause any of the
representations and warranties of such party contained herein to be inaccurate
or otherwise misleading, except as contemplated by the terms hereof or (c) gives
any such party any reason to believe that any of the conditions set forth in
Article 2 will not be satisfied prior to the Effective Date.

ARTICLE 4
---------
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
------------------------
4.1. Indemnification. From and after the Closing Date, each party to this
Agreement shall indemnify and hold harmless each and every other party, jointly
and severally, and (if any) each other party's respective successors and
assigns, and their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders,
agents, affiliates and any person who controls any of such persons within the
meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (each, an
"Indemnified Person") from and against any liabilities, claims, demands,
judgments, losses, costs, damages or expenses whatsoever (including reasonable
attorneys', consultants' and other professional fees and disbursements of every
kind, nature and description incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection
therewith, including consequential and punitive damages) (collectively,
"Damages") that such Indemnified Person may sustain, suffer or incur and that
result from, arise out of or relate to any breach of any of the respective
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this
Agreement.
4.1.1 Survival. The indemnity provisions set forth in Section 4.1,
above, shall survive the Closing and continue for four (4) years.
4.1.2 Procedure for Claims. Any Indemnified Person who desires to seek
indemnification under any part of this Section 4 shall give written notice in
accordance with Section 4.3.10 in reasonable detail (a "Claim Notice") to each
party responsible or alleged to be responsible for indemnification hereunder (an
"Indemnitor") and to Buyer's corporate counsel. Such notice shall briefly
explain the nature of the claim and the parties known to be involved, and shall
specify the amount thereof. If the matter to which a claim relates shall not
have been resolved as of the date of the Claim Notice, the Indemnified Person
shall estimate the amount of the claim in the Claim Notice, but also specify
therein that the claim has not yet been liquidated (an "Unliquidated Claim"). If
an Indemnified Party gives a Claim Notice for an Unliquidated Claim, the
Indemnified Party shall also give a second Claim Notice (the "Liquidated Claim
Notice") within sixty (60) days after the matter giving rise to the claim
becomes finally resolved, and the Second Claim Notice shall specify the amount
of the claim. Each Indemnitor to which a Claim Notice is given shall respond to
any Indemnified Party that has given a Claim Notice (a "Claim Response") within
thirty (30) days (the "Response Period") after the later of (i) the date that
the Claim Notice is given or (ii) if a Claim Notice is first given with respect
to an Unliquidated Claim, the date on which the Liquidated Claim Notice is
given. Any Claim Response shall specify whether or not the Indemnitor giving the
Claim Response disputes the claim described in the Claim Notice. If any
Indemnitor fails to give a Claim Response within the Response Period, such
Indemnitor shall be deemed not to dispute the claim described in the related
Claim Notice. If any Indemnitor elects not to dispute a claim described in a
Claim Notice, whether by failing to give a timely Claim Response in accordance
with the terms hereof or otherwise, then the amount of such claim shall be
conclusively deemed to be an obligation of such Indemnitor.
22
4.1.3 Indemnity Obligations. If any Indemnitor shall be obligated to
indemnify an Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 4, such Indemnitor
shall pay to such Indemnified Person the amount to which such Indemnified Person
shall be entitled within fifteen (15) Business Days after (i) a disputed claim
is determined in favor of the Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 4.3.1 of
this Agreement, or (ii) the Response Period has expired without a response which
satisfies the provisions of Section 4.1.2 from an Indemnitor. If any Indemnitor
fails to pay all or part of any indemnification obligation when due, then such
Indemnitor shall also be obligated to pay to the applicable Indemnified Person
interest on the unpaid amount for each day during which the obligation remains
unpaid at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 5%.
4.1.4 Third Party Claims. An Indemnified Person that desires to seek
indemnification under any part of this Section 4 with respect to any actions,
suits or other administrative or judicial proceedings (each, an "Action") that
may be instituted by a third party shall give each Indemnitor prompt notice of a
third party's institution of such Action. After such notice, any Indemnitor may,
or if so requested by such Indemnified Person, any Indemnitor shall, participate
in such Action or assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such
Indemnified Person; provided, however, that such Indemnified Person shall have
the right to participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Action; and
provided, further, that the Indemnified Person shall not consent to the entry of
any judgment or enter into any settlement, except with the written consent of
the Indemnitor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Any failure
to give prompt notice under this Section 4.1.4 shall not bar an Indemnified
Party's right to claim indemnification under this Section 4, except to the
extent that an Indemnitor shall have been harmed by such failure.
4.1.5 Effect of Investigation or Knowledge. Any claim by any party for
indemnification shall not be adversely affected by any investigation by, or
opportunity to, investigate afforded to any such person, nor shall such a claim
be adversely affected by any such person's knowledge on or before the Closing
Date of any breach or of any state of facts that may give rise to such a breach.
The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or
warranty, or on the performance of, or compliance with, any covenant or
obligation, will not adversely affect the right to indemnification, payment of
Damages or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants or
obligations.
4.1.6 Contingent Claims. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent an
Indemnified Person from making a claim hereunder for potential or contingent
claims or demands (a "Contingent Claim") provided the Claim Notice sets forth
the specific basis for any such Contingent Claim to the extent then feasible and
the Indemnified Person has reasonable grounds to believe that such a claim may
be made.
23
4.2 Termination. The parties may terminate this Agreement at any time
before the Effective Date or Closing, as provided below:
(a) by mutual written consent of each of the parties hereto;
(b) by any party to this Agreement, if a court of competent
jurisdiction or governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or commission
shall have issued a Court Order (which Court Order the parties shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to lift) that permanently restrains, enjoins or
otherwise prohibits the Exchange, and such Court Order shall have become final
and nonappealable;
(c) by Buyer, if the Company shall have breached, or failed to
comply with, any of its obligations under this Agreement or any representation
or warranty made by the Company shall have been incorrect when made, and such
breach, failure or misrepresentation is not cured within twenty (20) days after
notice thereof, and in either case, any such breaches, failures or
misrepresentations, individually or in the aggregate, results or would
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Business;
or
(d) by the Company, if Buyer shall have breached, or failed to
comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or any representation or
warranty made by it shall have been incorrect when made, and such breach,
failure or misrepresentation is not cured within Twenty (20) days after notice
thereof, and in either case, any such breaches, failures or misrepresentations,
individually or in the aggregate, results or would reasonably be expected to
affect materially and adversely the benefits to be received by the Company
hereunder; or
(e) by any Shareholder, if either the Company or Buyer shall have
breached, or failed to comply with any of their respective obligations under
this Agreement or any representation or warranty made by either of them shall
have been incorrect when made, and such breach, failure or misrepresentation is
not cured within Twenty (20) days after notice thereof, and in either case, any
such breaches, failures or misrepresentations, individually or in the aggregate,
results or would reasonably be expected to affect materially and adversely the
benefits to be received by any Shareholder.
24
4.3 General Matters.
4.3.1 Dispute Resolution. All disputes, claims, or controversies

may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written instrument duly
executed by each of the parties to this Agreement. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective

successors and permitted assigns, except as provided in Section 4.1. No party
shall assign this Agreement or any right, benefit or obligation hereunder. Any
term or provision of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party

requires otherwise, (a) references to the plural include the singular, the
singular the plural, the part the whole, (b) references to any gender include
all genders, (c) "including" has the inclusive meaning frequently identified
with the phrase "but not limited to" and (d) references to "hereunder" or

is material shall be made by taking into account the effect of all other
provisions of this Agreement that contain a qualification with respect to
materiality so that the determination is made after assessing the aggregate
effect of all such situations. The Section and other headings contained in this
Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not control or affect the
construction of this Agreement or the interpretation thereof in any respect.
Article, Section, Subsection and Schedule references are to this Agreement
unless otherwise specified. Each accounting term used herein that is not
specifically defined herein shall have the meaning given to it under GAAP. Any
reference to a party's being satisfied with any particular item or to a party's
determination of a particular item presumes that such standard will not be
achieved unless such party shall be satisfied or shall have made such
determination in its sole or complete discretion.
4.3.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be binding as of the date first written above,

supplemented in any respect except as provided in Section 4.3.2.
4.3.6 Severability. Should any one or more of the provisions of this
Agreement or of any agreement entered into pursuant to this Agreement be deemed
to be illegal or unenforceable, all other provisions of this Agreement and of
each other agreement entered into pursuant to this Agreement shall be given
effect separately from the provision or provisions determined to be illegal or
unenforceable and shall not be affected thereby. Nothing in this Section shall
prevent the parties from interpreting any provision or part of this Agreement in
a way consistent with current and future judicial determinations and modifying
this Agreement as provided to concur with such determination.
4.3.7 Remedies. The indemnification rights under Section 4.1 are
independent of and in addition to such rights and remedies as the parties may
have at law or in equity or otherwise for any misrepresentation, breach of
warranty or failure to fulfill any agreement or covenant hereunder on the part
of any party, including the right to seek specific performance, rescission or
