As of the date of this Agreement, 14,995,000 shares of Common Stock and no
shares of Preferred Stock (together with the Common Stock, the "Company Stock")
are outstanding. All of the Shares have been duly authorized, validly issued and
are fully paid and nonassessable. Except for the Company Stock, there are no
shares of capital stock or other equity securities of the Company outstanding.
(b) Except for the warrants to purchase 790,000 shares of Common Stock
and as contemplated by the Related Agreements, (i) there are no preemptive or
similar rights on the part of any holder of any class of securities of the
Company, and (ii) no options, warrants, conversion or other rights, agreements

Adjustment in any such event, and the parties agree that an interest factor of
