All outstanding options, warrants and convertible securities of SLM as of
the Closing shall be automatically converted into the right to receive the
identical number of shares of the Company's common stock upon satisfaction by

1.2 CLOSING. The closing of the Exchange (the "Closing") shall take place
on the execution date of this Agreement. Such date is herein referred to as the
"Closing Date."
ARTICLE 2
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SLM
SLM hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
2.1 ORGANIZATION. SLM has been duly incorporated, is validly existing as a
New York corporation and is in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction
of organization, and has the requisite power to carry on its business as now
conducted.
2.2 CAPITALIZATION. The authorized capital stock of SLM consists of ten
million shares of common stock, $.0001 par value, of which 4,059,500 shares are
issued and outstanding, and one million shares of blank check preferred stock,
of which none are presently issued and outstanding. All of the issued
and outstanding shares of capital stock are duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive rights. Except as set forth in
SCHEDULE 2.2, there are no outstanding or authorized options, rights, warrants,
calls, convertible securities, rights to subscribe, conversion rights or other
agreements or commitments to which SLM is a party or which are binding upon SLM
providing for the issuance or transfer by SLM of additional shares of its
capital stock and SLM has not reserved any shares of its capital stock for
issuance, nor are there any outstanding stock option rights, phantom equity or
similar rights, contracts, arrangements or commitments. There are no voting
trusts or any other agreements or understandings with respect to the voting of
SLM's capital stock.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the parties
hereto acknowledge that SLM is in the process of effecting a private placement
of up to 1million shares of its common stock pursuant to Regulation D
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Private Placement"). The
parties further acknowledge that 507,500 shares of common stock of SLM issued in
connection with the Private Placement are included in the total number of issued
and outstanding shares of SLM common stock as set forth in this Section 2.2 and
that subscriptions for the balance of the shares issuable in connection with the
private placement have not yet been accepted by SLM, but may be shortly after
the closing of the transactions contemplated herein, which additional
subscriptions, if consummated, would immediately result in additional dilution
to the current holders of the Company's common stock.
2.3 CERTAIN CORPORATE MATTERS. SLM is duly qualified to do business and is
in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the ownership of its properties,
the employment of its personnel or the conduct of its business requires it to be
so qualified, except where such failure would not have a material adverse effect
on SLM's financial condition, results of operations or business. SLM has full
corporate power and authority and all authorizations, licenses and permits
necessary to carry on the business in which it is engaged and to own and use the
properties owned and used by it.
2.4 AUTHORITY RELATIVE TO THIS AGREEMENT. SLM has the requisite power and
authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out its obligations
hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by SLM and
the consummation by SLM of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly
authorized by its Board of Directors and the Stockholders and no other actions
on the part of SLM are necessary to authorize this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and
delivered by SLM and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of SLM,
enforceable against SLM in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally or by general principles of equity.
2.5 CONSENTS AND APPROVALS; NO VIOLATIONS. Except for requirements of
applicable law, no filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or
approval of, any third party, public body or authority is necessary for the
consummation by SLM of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither
the execution and delivery of this Agreement by SLM nor the consummation by SLM
of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance by SLM with any of the
provisions hereof, will (a) conflict with or result in any breach of any
provisions of the organizational documents of SLM, (b) result in a violation or
breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a
default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration)
under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage,
indenture, license, contract, agreement or other instrument or obligation to
which SLM is a party or by which it or its properties or assets may be bound or
(c) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation
applicable to SLM, or any of its properties or assets, except in the case of
clauses (b) and (c) for violations, breaches or defaults which are not in the
aggregate material to SLM taken as a whole.
2.6 DISCLOSURE. The representations and warranties and statements of fact
made by SLM in this Agreement are, as applicable, accurate, correct and complete
and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
