provision of, constitute a default under, or terminate, accelerate or modify

or
instrument to which Continental is a party or to which any of its assets,
properties or operations are subject.
Section
1.11 Compliance
With Laws and Regulations. To
the best of its knowledge, Continental has complied with all applicable statutes

Continental or except to the extent that noncompliance would not result in
the
occurrence of any material liability for Continental. This compliance
includes, but is not limited to, the filing of all reports to date with federal
and state securities authorities.
4
Section
1.12 Approval

Board of Directors of Continental has authorized the execution and delivery

Section
1.13 Continental
Schedules. Continental
has delivered to Stone Mountain the following schedules, which are collectively
referred to as the “Continental Schedules” and which consist of separate
schedules dated as of the date of execution of this Agreement, all certified
by
the chief executive officer of Continental as complete, true, and correct as
of
the date of this Agreement in all material respects:
(a) a
schedule containing complete and correct copies of the articles of
incorporation, and bylaws of Continental in effect as of the date of this
Agreement;
(b) a
schedule containing the financial statements of Continental identified in
paragraph 1.04(a);
(c) a
schedule setting forth a description of any material adverse change in the
business, operations, property, inventory, assets, or condition of Continental
since March 31, 2007, required to be provided pursuant to section 1.07
hereof;
(d) a
schedule of any exceptions to the representations made herein; and
(e) a
schedule containing the other information requested above.
Continental
shall cause the Continental Schedules and the instruments and data delivered
to
Stone Mountain hereunder to be promptly updated after the date hereof up to
and
including the Closing Date.
It
is
understood and agreed that not all of the schedules referred to above have
been
completed or are available to be furnished by
Continental. Continental shall have until June 29, 2007 to provide
such schedules. If Continental cannot or fails to do so, or if Stone
Mountain acting reasonably finds any such schedules or updates provided after
the date hereof to be unacceptable according to the criteria set forth below,
Stone Mountain may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to
Continental within five (5) days after the schedules or updates were due to
be
produced or were provided. For purposes of the foregoing, Stone
Mountain may consider a disclosure in the Continental Schedules to be
“unacceptable” only if that item would have a material adverse impact on the
financial statements listed in Section 1.04(a), taken as a whole.
Section
1.14 Valid
Obligation. This
Agreement and all agreements and other documents executed by Continental in
connection herewith constitute the valid and binding obligation of Continental,
enforceable in accordance with its or their terms, except as may be limited
by
bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to the qualification that
the availability of equitable remedies is subject to the discretion of the
court
before which any proceeding therefore may be brought.

INVESTMENT
LETTER
Stone
Mountain Resources, Inc.
Re: Purchase
of shares of Common Stock of Stone Mountain Resources, Inc.
Gentlemen:
In
connection with the acquisition by the undersigned of shares of Common Stock
of
Stone Mountain Resources, Inc.(the “Securities”), the undersigned represents
that the Securities are being acquired without a view to, or for, resale in
connection with any distribution of such Securities or any interest therein
without registration or other compliance under the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended (the “Securities Act”), and that the undersigned has no direct or
indirect participation in any such undertaking or in the underwriting of such
an
undertaking.
The
undersigned understands that the Securities have not been registered, but are
being acquired by reason of a specific exemption under the Securities Act as
well as under certain state statutes for transactions by an issuer not involving
any public offering and that any disposition of the subject Securities may,
under certain circumstances, be inconsistent with this exemption and may make
the undersigned an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities
Act. It is understood that the definition of an “underwriter” focuses
on the concept of “distribution” and that any subsequent disposition of the
subject Securities can only be effected in transactions which are not considered
distributions. Generally, the term “distribution” is considered
synonymous with “public offering” or any other offer or sale involving general
solicitation or general advertising. Under present law, in
determining whether a distribution occurs when securities are sold into the
public market, under certain circumstances one must consider the availability
of
public information regarding the issuer, a holding period for the securities
sufficient to assure that the persons desiring to sell the securities without
registration first bear the economic risk of their investment, and a limitation
on the number of securities which the stockholder is permitted to sell and
on
the manner of sale, thereby reducing the potential impact of the sale on the
trading markets. These criteria are set forth specifically in rule
144 promulgated under the Securities Act. After one year from the
date the Securities are fully paid for and the subscription is accepted by
the
issuer, all as calculated in accordance with rule 144(d), sales of the
Securities in reliance on rule 144 can only be made in limited amounts in
accordance with the terms and conditions of that rule. After two year
from the date the Securities are fully paid for, as calculated in accordance
with rule 144(d), it can generally be sold without meeting these conditions
provided the holder is not (and has not been for the preceding three months)
an
affiliate of the issuer.

The
undersigned acknowledges that the Securities must be held and may not be sold,
transferred, or otherwise disposed of for value unless it is subsequently
registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration
is
available; the issuer is under no obligation to register the Securities under
the Securities Act or under section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, except as may be expressly agreed to by it in writing; if rule
144
is available, and no assurance is given that it will be, initially only routine
sales of such Securities in limited amounts can be made in reliance on rule
144
in accordance with the terms and conditions of that rule; the issuer is under
no
obligation to the undersigned to make rule 144 available, except as may be
expressly agreed to by it in writing; in the event rule 144 is not available,
compliance with regulation A or some other exemption may be required before
the
undersigned can sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of such Securities without
registration under the Securities Act; the issuer’s registrar and transfer agent
will maintain a stop transfer order against the registration of transfer of
the
Securities; and the certificate representing the convertible promissory notes
and warrants composing the Securities will bear a legend in substantially the
following form so restricting the sale of such Securities.
THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND ARE “RESTRICTED
SECURITIES” WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE
SOLD OR TRANSFERRED WITHOUT COMPLYING WITH RULE 144 IN THE ABSENCE OF AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION OR OTHER COMPLIANCE UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT.
The
issuer may refuse to register transfer of the Securities in the absence of
compliance with Rule 144 unless the undersigned furnishes the issuer with a
“no-action” or interpretative letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission
or an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the issuer stating that the
transfer is proper; further, unless such letter or opinion states that the
Securities are free of any restrictions under the Securities Act, the issuer
may
refuse to transfer the Securities to any transferee who does not furnish in
writing to the issuer the same representations and agree to the same conditions
with respect to such Securities as are set forth herein. The issuer
may also refuse to transfer the Securities if any circumstances are present
reasonably indicating that the transferee’s representations are not
accurate.
Very
truly yours,
