WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of QTHE and SBR, respectively deem it advisable and in the best interest of each entity and their respective shareholders that SBR merges with and into QTHE pursuant to those terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Articles of Merger or Certificate of Merger to be filed and pursuant to applicable provisions of law (such transaction is hereafter referred to as the "Merger");

WHEREAS, QTHE is a publically traded company on the OTC trading under the ticker symbol QTHE;

WHEREAS, each of the parties to this Agreement desires to make certain representations, warranties, and agreements in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and also to prescribe various conditions thereto.

SECTION 1. ACQUISITION OF SBR.

The parties to this Agreement do hereby agree that at the Closing and Effective Time of the Merger (the terms "Closing" and "Effective Time of the Merger" as defined in Section 6 hereof), SBR will merge with and into QTHE premised upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in accordance with the provisions of applicable law. Pursuant to the Merger SBR shareholders on a fully diluted basis will exchange their SBR common stock for shares of QTHE's authorized but previously unissued common stock after the reverse split is effective. The SBR shareholders shall receive the number of shares that will constitute Eighty per cent (80%) of the issued and outstanding shares of QTHE after the Closing or Effective Time of the Merger. It is the intention of the parties hereto that this transaction qualifies as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and related sections thereunder.

SECTION 2. TERMS OF MERGER.

In accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the requirements of applicable law, SBR will be merged with and into QTHE as of the Effective Time of the Merger. SBR will be the surviving corporation (hereafter sometimes referred to as the "Surviving Corporation") and the current operations of QTHE will cease and be spun out at the Effective Time of the Merger. SBR as the Surviving Corporation, will succeed to and assume all the rights and obligations of QTHE in accordance with applicable law, as described below. All the operations and subsidiaries of QTHE shall be spun out into new corporations that are owned by the shareholders of QTHE prior to the merger. These entities shall consist of those listed in Addendum A (hereafter sometimes referred to as the "Spun Out Corporations"). Consummation of the Merger will be upon the following terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

(a) Corporate Existence. Commencing at the Effective Time of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of QTHE will cease and the Surviving Corporation will continue its corporate existence as a Colorado corporation.

(b) Effective Time of the Merger. At the Effective Time of the Merger,

	(i)	the members of the Board of Directors and executive officers of QTHE holding office immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger will resign as directors and executive officers, effective at the Effective Time of the Merger and the incumbent directors of SBR will remain as the directors and executive officers of the Surviving Corporation; and

	(ii)	the Board of Directors of QTHE will take all necessary requisite actions to appoint as additional directors to the QTHE Board those persons set forth in Section 2(e)(ii) below.

(c) Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time of the Merger and without any action of the part of QTHE, SBR or the holders of any of the securities of any of these corporations, each of the following will occur:

	(i)	The shares of SBR common stock on a fully diluted basis will be converted into the right to receive an aggregate number of shares of QTHE common stock to constitute eighty per cent (80%) of the issued and outstanding shares of QTHE. "Fully diluted" shall mean that SBR shall include all shares it will issue in connection with its present obligation to others. Holders of certificates previously evidencing shares of SBR common stock outstanding at the Effective Time of the Merger, will cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of SBR common stock, except as otherwise provided herein or by law. Those persons receiving shares of QTHE common stock and the number of shares to be received pursuant to the terms of the Merger and this Agreement are set forth in Attachment No. 2(c) annexed hereto.

	(ii)	Any shares of SBR capital stock held in the treasury of SBR immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, will automatically be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment will be made with respect thereto. After the Merger, the stock transfer books of SBR will be closed and thereafter, there will be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of any shares of SBR common stock.

(d) Restricted Securities.

(i)

None of the shares of QTHE common stock into which the shares of SBR common stock are to be converted will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), but will be deemed to have been issued pursuant to an exemption or exemptions therefrom (subject to the satisfaction of certain other terms and conditions hereof) and will be considered "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. All shares of QTHE common stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) of that Act and/or Regulation D, Rule 506 promulgated thereunder or other exemption, and certificates representing the shares will bear a restrictive legend worded substantially as follows and as may otherwise be required:

"The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") and are "restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Act. The shares may not be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act, the availability of which is to be established to the satisfaction of the corporation."

(ii)

At the Closing, QTHE will direct its transfer agent to record as soon as practicable after the Closing, to issue the QTHE common stock to the holders of SBR common stock pursuant to the provisions set forth above. The transfer agent will annotate its records to reflect the restrictions on transfer embodied in the legend set forth above. There will be no requirement of QTHE to register under the Securities Act any shares of SBR common stock in connection with the Merger.

(e) Other Matters.

(i)

QTHE will prepare such documents and make such filings necessary to amend QTHE's Articles of Incorporation.

	(v)	If at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary, desirable, or prudent to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement, the officers and directors of QTHE are hereby fully authorized to take, and will use their reasonable efforts to take all such lawful and necessary action.

SECTION 3. DELIVERY OF SHARES.

On or as soon as practicable after the Effective Time of the Merger, SBR will use its reasonable efforts to cause the holders of SBR common stock ("SBR Shareholders") to surrender to QTHE's transfer agent for cancellation all certificates or other evidences of ownership representing shares of SBR common stock, against delivery of certificates representing the shares of QTHE common stock for which SBR common stock is to be converted in the Merger pursuant to Section 2 hereof.

(b) From and after the Closing of this Agreement, SBR agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless, QTHE and each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement, who was prior to the Closing a director or officer of QTHE against any costs or expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, losses, claims, demands, liabilities, damages, and deficiencies, including interest and penalties, incurred or suffered in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding, or investigation, whether civil, criminal, or administrative arising from matters existing or occurring prior to the Closing, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at, or after the Closing, which is based in whole or in part on, or claimed prior to, at, or after the Closing which is based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part from the fact that such person is a party to this Agreement or is, or was a director or officer of QTHE including without limitation, all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, liabilities, judgments, or settlement amounts based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part from or pertaining to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to the fullest extent that QTHE could have been permitted under applicable state laws and its certificate of incorporation, bylaws, and other agreements in effect on the date hereof to indemnify such individual.

(c) Any indemnified party wishing to claim indemnification under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding, or investigation will promptly notify QTHE if under subsection (a), or SBR if under subsection (b). However failure to so notify the appropriate party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have under this Section, except to the extent such failure materially prejudices such party.
