corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions

Documents to which it is a party has been or will be duly executed by the

(j) Disclosure Documents. The Disclosure Documents taken as a whole
are accurate in all material respects and do not contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make
the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.
(k) Manner of Offering. Assuming such Purchasers' representations
and warranties contained in Section 3.2 are true and correct (a) the Securities

the Minnesota Revised Statues, 1986 (the "Minnesota Act") in reliance upon the
exemption provided by Section 80A.15.2(g) of the Minnesota Act and
Administrative Rule 2875.0170; and (b) accordingly, the Securities are being
issued without restriction and may be freely traded pursuant to Rule 504 of
Regulation D of the Securities Act.

acting on its behalf has taken or will take any action (including, without

or sale of the Securities to the registration requirements of Section 5 of the
Securities Act.

504(b). The Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13

promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company is a development stage company
that has a specific business plan that is other than to engage in a merger or
acquisition with an unidentified company or companies.
(n) No Undisclosed Liabilities. Except for the transactions
contemplated in this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, there are no material
liabilities of the Company, whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise.
The Purchasers acknowledge and agree that the Company makes no representation or

to be purchased by it hereunder, and will acquire the Underlying Shares relating

times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Debentures or
Underlying Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities
laws.

(g) Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges receipt of
the Disclosure Documents and further acknowledges that it has been afforded (i)

Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and the Company's
financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and
prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment in the Securities;

ARTICLE IV
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Manner of Offering. The Securities are being issued pursuant to
Rule 504 (b) of Regulation D of the Securities Act. The Securities will be
exempt from restrictions on transfer, and will carry no restrictive legend with
respect to the exemption from registration under the Securities Act. The Company
will use its best efforts to insure that it takes no actions that would
jeopardize the availability of the exemption from registration under Rule 504(b)
for the Securities and, if for any reason such exemption becomes unavailable due
to the Company's action or failure to act, the Company shall cause the
Securities to be registered under the Securities Act as required by Section
4.29.
4.2 Furnishing of Information. As long as any of the Purchasers own any
of the Securities, and unless and until the Securities are assumed by BMOO or
the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements under Section 13(a) or
15(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company will promptly furnish to such Purchaser
financial information similar to that required to be reported in annual and
quarterly reports comparable to those required by Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (the "Non-Public Filings").
4.3 Notice of Certain Events. The Company shall, on a continuing basis,
as long as each of the Purchasers owns any of the Securities, (i) advise such
Purchaser promptly after obtaining knowledge of, and, if requested by such
Purchaser, confirm such advice in writing, of (A) the issuance by any state
securities commission of any stop order suspending the qualification or
exemption from qualification of the Securities, for offering or sale in any
jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose by any state
securities commission or other regulatory authority, or (B) any event that makes
any statement of a material fact made by the Company in Section 3.1 or in the
Disclosure Documents untrue or that requires the making of any additions to or
changes in Section 3.1 or in the Disclosure Documents in order to make the
statements therein, in each case at the time such Disclosure Documents were
delivered to such Purchaser and in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading, (ii) use its commercially reasonable best
efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or order suspending the
qualification or exemption from qualification of the Securities under any state
securities or Blue Sky laws, and (iii) if at any time any state securities
commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the
qualification or exemption from qualification of the Securities under any such
13
laws, use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal or
lifting of such order at the earliest possible time.
4.4 Copies and Use of Disclosure Documents and Non-Public Filings. The
Company (or, following the Post-Closing, BMOO) shall furnish each of the
Purchasers, without charge, as many copies of the Disclosure Documents and the
Non-Public Filings and any amendments or supplements thereto as such Purchaser
may reasonably request. The Company consents to the use of the Disclosure
Documents and the Non-Public Filings and any amendments and supplements to any
of them by such Purchaser in connection with resales of the Securities.
4.5 Modification to Disclosure Documents. If any event shall occur as a
result of which, in the reasonable judgment of the Company or the Purchasers, it
becomes necessary or advisable to amend or supplement any of the Disclosure
Documents or the Non-Public Filings in order to make the statements therein, at
the time such Disclosure Documents or the Non-Public Filings were delivered to
such Purchaser and in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading, or if it becomes necessary to amend or supplement any of the
Disclosure Documents or the Non-Public Filings to comply with applicable law,
the Company shall as soon as practicable prepare an appropriate amendment or
supplement to each such document in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to both the Purchasers and Company so that (i) as so amended or supplemented,
each such document will not include an untrue statement of material fact or omit
to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to the
Purchasers, not misleading and (ii) the Disclosure Documents and the Non-Public
Filings will comply with applicable law in all material respects.
4.6 Blue Sky Laws. The Company shall cooperate with the Purchasers in
connection with the exemption from registration of the Securities under the
securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Purchasers may request;
provided, however, that the Company shall be not required in connection
therewith to (a) qualify as a foreign corporation where they are not now so
qualified, or (b) submit to taxation or general service of process in such
jurisdiction. The Company agrees that it will execute all necessary documents
and pay all necessary state filing or notice fees to enable the Company to sell
the Securities to the Purchasers.
4.7 Integration. The Company shall not and shall use its best efforts
to ensure that no Affiliate shall sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy
or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of
the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the
Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities
Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers.
4.8 Furnishing of Rule 144(c) Materials. The Company shall, for so long
as any of the Securities remain outstanding and during any period in which the
Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, make
available to any registered holder of the Securities in connection with any sale
thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Securities from such Person, such
information in accordance with Rule 144(c)(2) promulgated under the Securities
Act as is required to sell the Securities under Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act.
14
4.9 Solicitation Materials. The Company shall not (i) distribute any
offering materials in connection with the offering and sale of the Debentures or
the Underlying Shares other than the Disclosure Documents and any amendments and
supplements thereto prepared in compliance herewith or (ii) solicit any offer to
buy or sell the Debentures or the Underlying Shares by means of any form of
general solicitation or advertising.
4.10 Subsequent Financial Statements. (a) Until the Post-Closing Date,
if not otherwise publicly available, upon the written request of Purchasers, the
Company shall promptly furnish to the Purchasers a copy of all financial
statements for any period subsequent to the period covered by the financial
statements included in the Disclosure Documents until the full conversion of the
Debentures.
(b) After the Post-Closing Date, if not otherwise publicly
available, upon written request of Purchaser, BMOO shall promptly furnish to
such Purchaser a copy of all financial statements relating to BMOO for any
period subsequent to the period covered by the financial statements included in
the Disclosure Documents until the full conversion of the Debentures.
4.11 Prohibition on Certain Actions. From the date hereof through the
Post-Closing Date, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of
the Purchasers, (i) amend its certificate or articles of incorporation, by-laws
or other charter documents so as to adversely affect any rights of the
Purchasers; (ii) split, combine or reclassify its outstanding capital stock;
(iii) declare, authorize, set aside or pay any dividend or other distribution
with respect to the Common Stock; (iv) redeem, repurchase or offer to repurchase
or otherwise acquire shares of its Common Stock; or (v) enter into any agreement
with respect to any of the foregoing other than the Merger Agreement.
4.12 Listing of Common Stock. Until the Post-Closing Date, if the
Common Stock shall become listed on the OTCBB or on another exchange, the
Company shall (a) use its commercially reasonable best efforts to maintain the
listing of its Common Stock on the OTCBB or such other exchange on which the
Common Stock is then listed until expiration of each of the periods during which
the Debentures may be converted and (b) shall provide to each of the Purchasers
evidence of such listing. After the Post-Closing Date, the references in this
Section 4.12 to Company and Common Stock shall be deemed references to BMOO and
the common stock of BMOO, respectively.
4.13 Escrow. The Company and the Purchasers agree to execute and
deliver, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
escrow agreement attached hereto and made part hereof as EXHIBIT F (the "Escrow
Agreement"), and to issue into escrow (A) the certificates to be held by the
Escrow Agent, registered in the name of the Purchasers and without any
restrictive legend of any kind, pursuant to the terms of such escrow and (B) the
Note.
4.14 Conversion Procedures; Maintenance of Escrow Shares. (a) EXHIBIT E
attached hereto and made a part hereof sets forth the procedures with respect to
the conversion of the Debentures, including the forms of Notice of Conversion to
be provided upon conversion instructions as to the procedures for conversion and
such other information and instructions as may be reasonably necessary to enable
15
the Purchasers or their permitted transferee(s) to exercise the right of
conversion smoothly and expeditiously.
(b) The Company agrees that, at any time the conversion price of the
Debentures is such that the number of Escrow Shares for the Debentures is less
than 200% of the number of shares of Common Stock that would be needed to
satisfy full conversion of all of such Debentures then outstanding, given the
then current conversion price (the "Full Conversion Shares"), upon five (5)
Business Days written notice of such circumstance to the Company by either of
the Purchasers and/or the Escrow Agent, the Company shall issue additional share
certificates in the name of such Purchaser and/or its assigns in denominations
specified by such Purchaser, and deliver same to the Escrow Agent, such that the
new number of Escrow Shares with respect to the Debentures is equal to 200% of
the Full Conversion Shares.
(c) Subject to Section 4.14(d), the Purchasers shall not be entitled to
convert the First Debentures and the Second Debentures into a number of shares
of Common Stock exceeding 6,000,000 Escrow Shares (the "Maximum Share Limit").
(d) If the Per Share Market Value of the Common Stock is such that the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued and then issuable upon
conversion of the Debentures would exceed 6,000,000 shares (as adjusted for
stock splits, reverse stock splits, and the like), then upon five (5) Business
Days written notice of such circumstance to the Company by either of the
Purchasers and/or the Escrow Agent, the Company shall, at its option, (a)
increase the Maximum Share Limit to comply with Section 4.14(b) or (b) redeem
the unconverted amount of all of the Debentures in whole at one hundred twenty
five percent (125%) of the unconverted amount of the Debentures being redeemed
plus accrued interest thereon; provided, however, that if the Company does not
respond to such written notice within five (5) Business Days of its delivery,
the Maximum Share Limit shall automatically increase to the number of Full
Conversion Shares.
(e) In the event there is a reverse stock split or forward stock split
of the common stock of BMOO, all references to "200%" in this Section 4.14 shall
be "2,000%".
4.15 Attorney-in-Fact. To effectuate the terms and provisions of this
Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Note, the Company hereby agrees to give
the Power of Attorney. All acts done under such power of attorney are hereby
ratified and approved and neither the Attorney-in-Fact nor any designee or agent
thereof shall be liable for any acts of commission or omission, for any error of
judgment or for any mistake of fact or law, as long as the Attorney-in-Fact is
operating within the scope of the Power of Attorney and this Agreement and its
exhibits. The Power of Attorney, being coupled with an interest, shall be
irrevocable while any of the Debentures remain unconverted or any portion of
this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement remains unsatisfied. In addition, the
Company shall give the Attorney-in-Fact resolutions executed by the Board of
Directors of the Company which authorize transfers of the Debentures, future
issuances of the Underlying Shares for the Debentures, and which resolutions
state that they are irrevocable while any of the Debentures remain unconverted,
or any portion of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement remains unsatisfied.
16
4.16 Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification
(i) The Company shall, notwithstanding termination of this
Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each of the Purchasers and their
officers, directors, agents, employees and affiliates, each Person who
controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each such Person, a
"Control Person") and the officers, directors, agents, employees and
affiliates of each such Control Person, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, costs of
preparation and reasonable attorneys' fees) and expenses (collectively,
"Losses"), as incurred, arising out of, or relating to, a breach or
breaches of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by the
Company under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
(ii) The Purchasers shall, notwithstanding termination of this
Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers,
directors, agents and employees, each Control Person of the Company and
the officers, directors, agents and employees of each Control Person,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any
and all Losses, as incurred, arising out of, or relating to, a breach
or breaches of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by
the Purchasers under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents.
(b) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall
be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an
"Indemnified Party"), such Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the Person
from whom indemnity is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") in writing, and the
Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all
fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that
the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement,
except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or
further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially
adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in, but not control, the
defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party
has agreed to pay such fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall
have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such
Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any
impeded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party,
and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of
interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such
17
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified
Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ
separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying
Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of the claim against the
Indemnified Party but will retain the right to control the overall Proceedings
out of which the claim arose and such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party
shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party and shall be at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable
for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent.
No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of
which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an
unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims
that are the subject matter of such Proceeding, provided, however, the
Indemnifying Party may settle or compromise any asserted liability without the
consent of the Indemnitee so long as such settlement or compromise releases the
Indemnitee and does not include any admission or statement of fault against the
Indemnitee.
All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party to which the
Indemnified Party is entitled hereunder (including reasonable fees and expenses
to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend
such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to
the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Business Days of written
notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party.
No right of indemnification under this Section 4.16 shall be
available as to a particular Indemnified Party if there is a non-appealable
final judicial determination that such Losses arise solely or substantially out
of the negligence or bad faith of such Indemnified Party in performing the
obligations of such Indemnified Party under this Agreement or a breach by such
Indemnified Party of its obligations under this Agreement.
(c) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section
4.16(a) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such
Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses in respect of which this Section 4.16
would apply by its terms (other than by reason of exceptions provided in this
Section 4.16), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party
on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other and the relative fault of
the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions or
omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified
Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether there was
a judicial determination that such Losses arise in part out of the negligence or
bad faith of the Indemnified Party in performing the obligations of such
Indemnified Party under this Agreement or the Indemnified Party's breach of its
obligations under this Agreement. The amount paid or payable by a party as a
result of any Losses shall be deemed to include any attorneys' or other fees or
expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent
such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the
indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party.
(d) Non-Exclusivity. The indemnity and contribution agreements
contained in this Section are in addition to any obligation or liability that
the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.
18
4.17 Exclusivity. During the five year period commencing on the
Post-Closing Date (the "Restriction Period") or until the Debentures are paid in
full which ever comes first, (A) except for the First Debenture C and First
Debenture D, the Company and its Affiliates shall not issue or offer (i) any
convertible security and (ii) any security issued pursuant to Rule 504 of
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and (B) the Company and its
Affiliates shall not offer any equity lines of credit. The Company may request
that the restrictions in this Section 4.17 be waived. Except as specifically set
forth above, the Company may engage in any other debt or equity financing during
the Restriction Period.
4.18 Purchasers' Ownership of Common Stock. In addition to and not in
lieu of the limitations on conversion set forth in the Debentures, the
conversion rights of each Purchaser set forth in the Debentures shall be
limited, solely to the extent required, from time to time, such that, unless
such Purchaser gives written notice 75 days in advance to the Company of such
Purchaser's intention to exceed the Limitation on Conversion as defined herein,
with respect to all or a specified amount of the Debentures and the
corresponding number of the Underlying Shares in no instance shall such
Purchaser (singularly, together with any Persons who in the determination of
such Purchaser, together with such Purchaser, constitute a group as defined in
Rule 13d-5 of the Exchange Act) be entitled to convert the Debentures to the
extent such conversion would result in such Purchaser beneficially owning more
than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.
For these purposes, beneficial ownership shall be defined and calculated in
accordance with Rule 13d-3, promulgated under the Exchange Act (the foregoing
being herein referred to as the "Limitation on Conversion"); provided, however,
that the Limitation on Conversion shall not apply to any forced or automatic
conversion pursuant to this Agreement or the Debentures; and provided, further
that if such Purchaser shall have declared an Event of Default and, if a cure
period is provided, the Company shall not have properly and fully cured such
Event of Default within any such cure period, the provisions of this Section
4.18 shall be null and void from and after such date. The Company shall,
promptly upon its receipt of a Notice of Conversion tendered by such Purchaser
(or its sole designee) for the Debentures, as applicable, notify such Purchaser
by telephone and by facsimile (the "Debenture Notice") of the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding on such date and the number of Underlying Shares,
which would be issuable to such Purchaser (or its sole designee, as the case may
be) if the conversion requested in such Notice of Conversion were effected in
full and the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding giving full effect to
such conversion whereupon, in accordance with the Debentures, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in the Debentures, such Purchaser may, by
notice to the Company within one (1) Business Day of its receipt of the
Debenture Notice by facsimile, revoke such conversion to the extent (in whole or
in part) that such Purchaser determines that such conversion would result in the
ownership by such Purchaser of shares of Common Stock in excess of the
Limitation on Conversion. The Debenture Notice shall begin the 75 day advance
notice required in this Section 4.18.
4.19 Purchasers' Rights if Trading in Common Stock is Suspended. If the
Common Stock is listed on any exchange, then at any time after the Post-Closing
if trading in the shares of the Common Stock is suspended (and not reinstated
within ten (10) Trading Days) on such stock exchange or market upon which the
Common Stock is then listed for trading (other than as a result of the
19
suspension of trading in securities on such market generally or temporary
suspensions pending the release of material information), or the Common Stock is
delisted from the OTCBB (and not reinstated within ten (10) Trading Days), then,
at the option of each of the Purchasers exercisable by giving written notice to
the Company (the "Redemption Notice"), the Company shall redeem, as applicable,
all of the Debentures and Underlying Shares owned by such Purchaser within seven
(7) Business Days at an aggregate purchase price equal to the sum of:
(i) the product of (1) the average Per Share Market Value for the
five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding (a) the date of the Redemption
Notice, (b) the date of payment in full of the repurchase price under this
Section 4.19 recalculated as of such payment date, or (c) the day when the
Common Stock was suspended, delisted or deleted from trading, whichever is
greater, multiplied by (2) the aggregate number of Underlying Shares then held
and owned by such Purchaser;
(ii) the greater of (A) the outstanding principal amount and
accrued and unpaid interest on the Debentures owned by such Purchaser and (B)
the product of (1) the average Per Share Market Value for the five (5) Trading
Days immediately preceding (a) the date of the Redemption Notice, (b) the date
of payment in full of the repurchase price under this Section 4.19 recalculated
as of such payment date, or (c) the day when the Common Stock was suspended,
delisted or deleted from trading, whichever is greater, and (2) the aggregate
number of Underlying Shares issuable upon the conversion of the outstanding
Debentures then held and owned by the Purchaser utilizing the conversion
procedures contained in the Debentures (without taking into account the
Limitation on Conversion described in Section 4.18 hereof); and
(iii) interest on such amounts set forth in (i) and (ii) above
accruing from the seventh (7th) Business Day after the date of the Redemption
Notice until the repurchase price under this Section 4.19 is paid in full, at
the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum;
provided, however, if the Note has not been paid in full by the Purchasers to
the Company (whether or not it is otherwise then due or payable by its terms),
(i) any payments from the Company to the Purchasers pursuant to this Section
4.19 will be offset by the principal amount of the Note then not paid in full
and (ii) "Debentures" shall specifically refer to First Debenture A, First
Debenture B, First Debenture C and First Debenture D.
4.20 No Violation of Applicable Law. Notwithstanding any provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, if the redemption of the Debentures or the
Underlying Shares otherwise required under this Agreement or the Debentures
would be prohibited by the relevant provisions of Florida law, such redemption
shall be effected as soon as it is permitted under such law; provided, however,
that interest payable by the Company with respect to any such redemption shall
accrue in accordance with Section 4.19.
4.21 Redemption Restrictions. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, if any redemption of the Debentures or the Underlying
Shares otherwise required under this Agreement or the Debentures would be
prohibited in the absence of consent from any lender to the Company, or by the
holders of any class of securities of the Company, the Company shall use its
best efforts to obtain such consent as promptly as practicable after any such
20
redemption is required. Interest payable by the Company with respect to any such
redemption shall accrue in accordance with Section 4.19 until such consent is
obtained. Nothing contained in this Section 4.21 shall be construed as a waiver
by the Purchasers of any rights it may have by virtue of any breach of any
representation or warranty of the Company herein as to the absence of any
requirement to obtain any such consent.
4.22 No Other Registration Rights. During the period commencing on the
date hereof and ending on the Post-Closing Date, the Company shall not file any
registration statement that provides for the registration of shares of Common
Stock to be sold by security holders of the Company, other than the Purchasers
and/or their respective Affiliates or assigns, without the prior written consent
of the Purchasers or their assigns, provided, however, that the limitation on
the right to file registration statements contained in this Section 4.22 shall
not apply to registration statements relating solely to (i) employee benefit
plans, notwithstanding the inclusion of a resale prospectus for securities
received under any such employee benefit plan, or (ii) business combinations not
otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents. This registration restriction is in addition to the Company's
registration restrictions set forth in Section 4.24.
4.23 Merger or Consolidation. Until the earlier of (a) the full
conversion of the Debentures and (b) the Maturity Date of the Debentures (as
that term is defined in the Debentures), the Company will not, in a single
transaction or a series of related transactions (other than the Merger), (i)
consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person, or (ii) permit any
other Person to consolidate with or merge into it, unless (w) either (A) the
Company shall be the survivor of such merger or consolidation or (B) the
surviving Person shall expressly assume by supplemental agreement all of the
obligations of the Company under the Debentures, this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents; (x) immediately before and immediately after giving
effect to such transactions (including any indebtedness incurred or anticipated
to be incurred in connection with the transactions), no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing; (y) if the Company is not the surviving entity,
such surviving entity's common shares will be listed on either The New York
Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange, Nasdaq National Market or Nasdaq
SmallCap Market, or the OTCBB on or prior to the closing of such transaction(s)
and (z) the Company shall have delivered to the Purchasers an officer's
certificate and opinion of counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger
(other than the Merger) or transfer complies with this Agreement, that the
agreements relating to such transaction(s) provide that the surviving Person
agrees to be bound by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent in this
Agreement relating to such transaction(s) have been satisfied.
4.24 Registration of Escrow Shares. (a) So long as the Purchasers
and/or their assigns owns any of the Securities and the Underlying Shares would
not be freely transferable without registration, the Company agrees not to file
a registration statement with the SEC without Purchasers' express written
consent, other than on Form 10, Form S-4 (except for a public reoffering or
resale) or Form S-8 without first having registered (or simultaneous
registering) the Registrable Securities for resale under the Securities Act and
in such states of the United States as the holders thereof shall reasonably
request.
(b) If the Company shall propose to file with the SEC any registration
statement other than a Form 10, Form S-4 (except for a public reoffering or
resale) or Form S-8 which would cause, or have the effect of causing, the
21
Company to become a Reporting Issuer or to take any other action, other than the
sale of the Debentures to the Purchasers hereunder, the effect of which would be
to cause the Underlying Shares to be restricted securities (as such term is
defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act), the Company agrees to
give written notification of such to the holders of the Securities at least two
weeks prior to such filing or taking of the proposed action. If any of the
Securities are then outstanding, the Company agrees to include in such
registration statement the Registrable Securities unless the Underlying Shares
would be freely transferable upon conversion of the Debentures without such
registration, so as to permit the public resale thereof.
If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a
registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company will so advise
the holders of the Securities. In such event, these registration rights shall be
conditioned upon such holder's participation in such underwriting and the
inclusion of such holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the
extent provided herein. All holders proposing to distribute their Registrable
Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement
in customary form with the underwriter selected by the Company. In the event
that the lead or managing underwriter in its good faith judgment determines that
material adverse market factors require a limitation on the number of shares to
be underwritten, the underwriter may limit the number of Registrable Securities.
In such event, the Company shall so advise all holders of securities requesting
registration, and the number of shares of the Registrable Securities that are
entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated
pro rata among all holders and other participants, including the Company, in
proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable
Securities and other securities which they had requested to be included in such
registration statement at the time of filing the registration statement. If any
holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, he may elect to
withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter,
provided such notice is delivered within sixty (60) days of full disclosure of
such terms to such holder, without thereby affecting the right of such holder to
participate in subsequent offerings hereunder.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company for any reason shall
have taken any action, other than the sale of the Debentures to the Purchasers
hereunder, the effect of which would be to cause the Registrable Securities to
be restricted securities (as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act), the Company agrees to use its best efforts to file a
registration statement with the SEC and use its best efforts to have such
registration statement declared effective by the SEC which would permit the
public resale of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act and in such
states of the United States as the holders thereof shall reasonably request.
(d) The Company agrees to keep any registration required pursuant to
this Section 4.24 continuously effective under the Securities Act and with such
states of the United States as the holders of the Registrable Securities shall
reasonably request until the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the
Registrable Securities covered by any such registration have been sold, (ii) two
(2) years from the effective date of any such registration, or (iii) the date on
which all of the Registrable Securities may be sold without restriction pursuant
to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. All costs and expenses of any such
registration and related Blue Sky filings and maintaining continuous
effectiveness of such registration and filings shall be borne by the Company,
other than underwriters and brokers, fees and commissions.
22
(e) The Escrow Shares shall be registered by the Company under the
Securities Act if required by Section 4.29 and subject to the conditions stated
therein.
(f) Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees to cooperate and
assist the Company in preparing and filing any registration statement required
to be filed pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, providing
the Company with such information about the holder and answering such questions
as deemed reasonably necessary by the Company in order to complete such
registration statement. Until such time as the Company is no longer required to
keep the registration statement effective, each holder of Registrable Securities
agrees to immediately notify the Company of any change to the information
provided to the Company in connection with the preparation or maintenance of the
registration statement, and each such holder agrees to certify to the accuracy
and completeness of all information provided by it to the Company or its
representatives in connection with such registration statement.
4.25 Liquidated Damages. The Company understands and agrees that a
breach by the Company of Section 4.1, Section 4.24, Section 4.29, Section 4.30
or an Event of Default as contained in this Agreement and/or any other
Transaction Document will result in substantial economic loss to the Purchasers,
which loss will be extremely difficult to calculate with precision. Therefore,
if, for any reason the Company breaches Sections 4.1, Section 4.24, Section
4.29, Section 4.30 or fails to cure any Event of Default under Section 5.1, as
compensation and liquidated damages for such breach or default, and not as a
penalty, the Company agrees to pay the Purchasers an amount equal to three times
the Purchase Price and the Purchasers, upon receipt of such payment, shall
return any unconverted Debentures to the Company. The Company shall, upon
demand, pay the Purchasers such liquidated damages by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to an account designated by the Purchasers. Nothing
herein shall limit the right of the Purchasers to pursue actual damages (less
the amount of any liquidated damages received pursuant to the foregoing) for the
Company's breach of Section 4.1, Section 4.24, Section 4.29, Section 4.30 or
failure to cure an Event of Default under Section 5.1, consistent with the terms
of this Agreement. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER
THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER
TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS.
4.26 Short Sales. The Purchasers agree they will not enter into any
Short Sales (as hereinafter defined) until the earlier to occur of the date that
such Purchaser no longer owns the Debentures and the Maturity Date. For purpose
hereof, a "Short Sale" shall mean a sale of Common Stock by such Purchaser that
is marked as a short sale and that is made at a time when there is no equivalent
offsetting long position in the Common Stock by such Purchaser. For the purposes
of determining whether there is an equivalent offsetting long position in the
Common Stock held by such Purchaser, shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Debentures shall be deemed to be held long by such Purchaser
with respect to the Underlying Shares for which a Notice of Conversion is
delivered within two (2) Trading Days following the Trading Day that such Short
Sale is entered into.
4.27 Fees. The Company will pay the following fees and expenses in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby: (a) to G&P (i) legal fees
23
for document production in the amount of $20,000 and (ii) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such document production, (b)
to the Escrow Agent, $5,000 for the escrow agent fee, and (c) to Jehu Hand (i)
legal fees in the amount of $5,000 and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred. Unless paid prior, all fees and expenses will be paid at
Post-Closing and the Company and the Purchasers hereby authorize and direct the
Escrow Agent to deduct such fees and expenses directly from escrow prior to
distributing any funds to the Company. Except with respect to the fees set forth
in part (b) of this Section 4.27 and except as otherwise set forth in the
Retainer Agreement, all fees and expenses shall be paid regardless of whether
the transactions contemplated hereby are closed or otherwise completed. All fees
to be paid hereunder shall have no offsets, are non-refundable and
non-cancelable.
4.28 First Debenture C, First Debenture D and Note. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein, in the Debentures, or in the Note to the contrary,
the First Debenture C and the First Debenture D shall not accrue interest, shall
not be convertible, and shall not be subject to repayment by the Company at its
maturity, and the Note shall not be due and payable and shall not be deemed part
of the "Purchase Price" for purposes of Section 4.25 hereof, unless and until:
(i) the closing bid price per share of the common stock of BMOO
having been at or above the Fixed Conversion Price (as defined in
the First Debenture A and the First Debenture B) for thirty (30)
consecutive Trading Days at any time from the date hereof until
the Maturity Date (as defined in the First Debenture C and First
Debenture D); and
(ii) the number of Escrow Shares for the aggregate principal
amount of the Debentures then outstanding, First Debenture C and
First Debenture D is at least 200% of the number of shares of
common stock of BMOO that would be needed to satisfy full
conversion of all such unconverted Debentures,
provided, however, that if subparagraph (i) is satisfied and
subparagraph (ii) is not, BMOO shall increase in accordance with
Section 4.14, the number of Escrow Shares to cover 200% of the
number of shares of common stock of BMOO that would be needed to
satisfy full conversion of all of such Debenture; provided,
further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the First Debenture
C and the First Debenture D shall not accrue interest, shall not
be convertible, and shall not be subject to repayment by the
Company at its maturity, and the Note shall not be deemed part of
the "Purchase Price" for purposes of Section 4.25 hereof, unless
and until the Note is paid in full by the Purchasers or their
successors and assigns provided, further, that if a reverse stock
split or forward stock split of the common stock of BMOO occurs,
"200%" in this paragraph shall be "2,000%".
4.29 Changes to Federal and State Securities Laws. If any of the
Securities require registration with or approval of any governmental authority
under any federal (including but not limited to the Securities Act or similar
federal statute then in force) or state law, or listing on any national
securities exchange, before they may be resold or transferred without any
restrictions on their resale or transfer for reasons including, but not limited
to, a material change in Rule 504 of Regulation D promulgated under the
24
Securities Act or a change to the exemption for sales made to Accredited
Investors in the state in which the Purchasers reside, the Company will, at its
expense, (a) as expeditiously as possible cause the Registrable Securities to be
duly registered or approved or listed on the relevant national securities
exchange, as the case may be, and (b) keep such registration, approval or
listing, as the case may be, continuously effective until the earlier of (i) the
date on which all of the Registrable Securities have been sold, (ii) two (2)
years from the effective date of any such registration, or (iii) the date on
which all of the Securities may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144
of the Securities Act; subject to the terms and limitations set forth in section
4.24. The Registrable Securities shall be registered by the Company under the
Securities Act if required by Section 4.24 and subject to the conditions stated
therein.
4.30 Merger Agreement. Immediately upon the Effective Date, all of the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement shall be consummated in
accordance with the terms thereof.
4.31 Future Financing. If, at any time any of the Debentures are
outstanding, the Company, or its successors in interest due to mergers,
consolidations and/or acquisitions (the "Successors-in-Interest"), is funded an
amount equal to or exceeding Five Million United States Dollars ($5,000,000),
the Company or the Successors-in-Interest, as the case may be, agrees to pay the
Purchasers an amount equal to One Hundred Fifty Percent (150%) of the then
outstanding Debentures (the "Lump Sum Payment"). Upon the Purchasers' receipt of
the Lump Sum Payment, any and all remaining obligations then outstanding between
the Company or the Successors-in-Interest, as the case may be, and the
Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the Debentures shall be deem
satisfied, and the Agreement and the Debentures shall be terminated. This
provision shall survive both Closing and Post-Closing.
4.32 Applicability of Agreements after Post-Closing. At the Effective
Date or upon the consummation of any other merger or other transaction pursuant
to which the Company's obligations under the Debentures are assumed by another
party (whether or not such assumption is joint and several), the Company shall
be released from, and have no further obligation pursuant to Sections 4.1
through 4.6, 4.8, 4.10, 4.12, 4.14, 4.16 through 4.27, 4.29 and 4.31 hereof, and
any reference to the Company in such sections shall instead be deemed to refer
solely to the party that assumes the Debentures.
4.33 Company's Right of Redemption. In addition to any right of the
Company to redeem any unconverted amount of the Debentures, the Company shall
have any redemption right set forth in the Debentures. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein or in the Debentures to the contrary, the Company shall only
have the right to redeem, in whole, the aggregate principal balance of the
outstanding First Debentures and Second Debentures. The Company shall
specifically not have the right to redeem a portion of the aggregate principal
balance of the outstanding Debentures.
4.34 Stock Split. BMOO shall not perform a reverse stock split or
forward stock split (the "Stock Split") unless and until the number of Escrow
Shares for the outstanding Debentures is equal to or greater than 2,000% of the
Full Conversion Shares immediately following the Stock Split.
25

(a) Automatically terminated prior to Post-Closing if:

regulation, including an amendment to Regulation D or an interpretive

5.2 Remedies. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the
contrary, if an Event of Default has occurred pursuant to Section 5.1, the
defaulting party shall be deemed in default hereof and the non-defaulting party

29
7.10 Counterpart Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in two or
more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and
the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed
by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both
parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is
delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and
binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is
executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature
page were an original thereof.
7.11 Publicity. The Company and the Purchasers shall consult with each
other in issuing any press releases or otherwise making public statements with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and neither party shall issue
any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement without the

statement to be required by applicable federal and/or state securities laws.
Except as otherwise required by applicable law or regulation, the Company will
not disclose to any third party the names of the Purchasers.
7.12 Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions of this
Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and
enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree
upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a reasonable substitute
therefore, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in
this Agreement.
7.13 Limitation of Remedies. With respect to claims by the Company or
the Purchasers or any person acting by or through the Company or the Purchasers
for remedies at law or at equity relating to or arising out of a breach of this
Agreement, liability, if any, shall, in no event, include loss of profits or
incidental, indirect, exemplary, punitive, special or consequential damages of
any kind.
7.14 Omnibus Provision. Anything contained herein or in the other
Transaction Documents notwithstanding, in the event that the Common Stock shall
become listed on the American Stock Exchange and subsequently ceases to be
listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange, then any reference thereto in
this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall be deemed to be a
reference to (a) the principal national securities exchange on which the Common
Stock is then listed or admitted to trading, or (b) if the Common Stock is not
then listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, Nasdaq,
or (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or admitted to trading on Nasdaq,
OTCBB, or (d) if the Common Stock is not then listed or admitted to trading on
OTCBB, then the over-the-counter market reported by the Pinksheets LLC (or
