Section 2.1 OWNERSHIP OF STOCK. Sellers are the lawful owners
of all of the shares of Common Stock to be sold to the Purchaser, which shall be
free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, restrictions and claims of every kind
and character, other than any of the foregoing arising from actions by Purchaser
("Encumbrances") as of the Closing referenced below. The delivery to Purchaser
of the Stock pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement will transfer to

have full power and authority (corporate or otherwise) to execute and deliver
this Agreement, to perform their obligations hereunder and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by Sellers and, assuming the due execution of this Agreement by

each Seller in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that its
enforceability may be subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization and similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally and to general equitable principles.
Section 2.3 CONSENTS AND APPROVALS; NO VIOLATIONS. The

authority by which any Seller, the Company or any Subsidiary (as hereinafter
defined) is bound or by which any of their respective properties or assets are
bound, (c) will not require any filing with, or permit, consent or approval of,
or the giving of any notice to, any United States governmental or regulatory

franchise, permit, agreement, lease, franchise agreement or any other instrument
or obligation to which any Seller, the Company or any Subsidiary is a party, or
by which they or any of their respective properties or assets may be bound.

corporation duly

organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State
of Florida and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease
and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being
conducted. The Company is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation
to conduct its business, and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in
which the character or location of the property owned, leased or operated by
it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification
necessary, except where the failure to be so duly qualified or licensed would
not have a Material Adverse Effect. The term "Material Adverse Effect" means
any circumstance, change in or effect on the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries that is materially adverse to the business, operations,
properties, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and
its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

existing and is in good standing under the laws of its own jurisdiction of
incorporation and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease
and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted.
Each Subsidiary is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to do
business and, to the extent such concept is applicable, is in good standing in
each jurisdiction in which the character or location of the property owned,
leased or operated by it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes
such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or
licensed would not have a Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement (i)
"Subsidiary" shall mean any Person of which the Company (either alone or
together with other Subsidiaries of the Company) owns, directly or indirectly,
more than 50% of the stock or other equity interests that are generally entitled
to vote for the election of the board of directors or other governing body of
such Person and (ii) "Person" shall mean and include an individual, a
partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a limited liability company, a
trust, an unincorporated organization and a government or other department or
agency thereof.

capitalization consisting of 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.001
per share, of which 4,450,000 shares are issued and outstanding as of the date
hereof; and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which no shares are
outstanding as of the date hereof. All such outstanding shares have been duly
authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. There are no
outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, rights, calls, commitments,
conversion rights, rights of exchange, plans or other agreements providing for
the purchase, issuance or sale of any shares of the capital stock of the
Company, except warrants to purchase 880,000 shares of Common Stock, at an
exercise price of $1.00 per share.
Section 2.6 SUBSIDIARIES. Schedule 2.6 is a complete list of
all Subsidiaries of the Company. The Company is the record owner of the
percentage of the shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary that is listed

3
Subsidiary is or may become required to be issued, transferred or sold for any
reason pursuant to any existing agreement to which Seller or Parent is a party,
and all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary are
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and are owned free and clear of any
Encumbrance with respect thereto.
Section 2.7 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Sellers have heretofore
furnished Purchaser with the balance sheets of the Company and its Subsidiaries
for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, and the related
statements of income and cash flows for the periods then ended, audited by
Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx, P.A.(the "Financial Statements"). The Financial
Statements, including the footnotes thereto have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and fairly present in all material
respects the financial position of the Company and the Subsidiaries and the
results of their operations and cash flows at such dates and for such periods.
Since September 30, 2000, there has been no material adverse change in the
financial condition, operations, or business of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries.
Section 2.8 SECURITIES FILINGS. Since January 1, 1999, and

1933 as amended (the "1933 Act") and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as
amended, and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder applicable to such
SEC Reports and (ii) did not at the time they were filed and as of the date
hereof, and, with respect to registration statements as of their effective

statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

Subsidiaries have no outstanding Indebtedness of any kind (including contingent
obligations, tax assessments and unusual forward or long-term commitments). All
of the $21,453 of liabilities disclosed in September 30, 2000 annual report and
all other payables of the Company have been or will be paid in full as of the
Closing Date (currently believed to be a total of $20,126 as of December 22,
2000) by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx pursuant to a Technology Transfer Agreement. For
purposes of this Agreement, "INDEBTEDNESS" shall mean any obligation for
borrowed money, including without limitation (A) any obligation owed for all or
any part of the purchase price of capital assets, (B) accounts payable included

indebtedness of another person, and (E) obligations in respect of letters of
credit.

material tax returns that are required to be filed by it and has paid all taxes
due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by it in
writing and all other related penalties and charges other than those being
contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings. The charges, accruals

Company, adequate. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has given or
been requested to give a waiver of the statute of limitations relating to the
payment of Federal or other taxes.

severally, hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, the Company
and/or its Subsidiaries from and against any
9
and all damages, claims, losses or expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses) ("Damages") actually suffered or paid by Purchaser, the
Company and/or its Subsidiaries as a result of the breach of any
representation or warranty made by any Seller in this Agreement. To the
extent that Sellers' undertakings set forth in this Section 7.2(a) may be
unenforceable, Sellers shall contribute the maximum amount that they are
permitted to contribute under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction
of all Damages incurred by the parties entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(b) Purchaser and the Company hereby agree to indemnify and
hold harmless Sellers against Damages actually suffered or paid by Sellers as a
result of the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser in
this Agreement. To the extent that the Purchaser's undertakings set forth in
this Section 7.2(b) may be unenforceable, the Purchaser and the Company shall
contribute the maximum amount that they are permitted to contribute under
applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Damages incurred by the

(c) Any party seeking indemnification under this Article VII

Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification, stating the amount of the Damages,
if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the
provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification
is claimed or arises. The obligations of an Indemnifying Party under this
Article VII with respect to Damages arising from any claims of any third party
which are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Article VII
(collectively, "Third Party Claims") shall be governed by and contingent upon
the following additional terms and conditions: if an Indemnified Party shall
receive, after the Closing Date, initial notice of any Third Party Claim, the
Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party
Claim within such time frame as is necessary to allow for a timely response and
in any event within 30 days of the receipt by the Indemnified Party of such
notice; provided, however, that the failure to provide such timely notice shall
not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this
Article VII except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced
by such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control
the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its
choice if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party
within 30 days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party;
provided, however, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a
conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the judgment of the
Indemnified Party (upon advice of counsel) for the same counsel to represent
both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified
Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel, at the expense of the
Indemnifying Party, provided that the Indemnified Party and such counsel shall
contest such Third Party Claims in good faith. In the event the Indemnifying
