applicable Law (including, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the
SEC thereunder applicable to such Company Reports) and shall not at the time
they are filed contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the

(b) Reports to Stockholders. For so long as the Company's common stock is
registered under the Exchange Act, the Company will hold an annual meeting of
shareholders for the election of directors within 180 days after the end of each
of the Company's fiscal years and, within 180 days after the end of each of the

quarter in any fiscal year) reasonably itemized financial statements of the
Company and its' subsidiaries, if any, for the fiscal quarter just ended and a
narrative discussion of such financial statements and the business conducted by
the Company and its' subsidiaries, if any, during such quarter.
2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY THE COMPANY. The Company hereby
represents and warrants to Yifan and the Shareholders:
a. Organization and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware, has all requisite corporate or other power and authority to own, lease
and operate its' properties and to carry on its' business as it is now being
conducted, and is duly qualified and in good standing to do business in each
jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the
ownership or leasing of its' properties makes such qualification necessary. The
Company has no directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries.
b. Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws. The Company has heretofore
furnished to the Yifan and the Shareholders complete and correct copies of its'
Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, including all amendments thereto or
restatements thereof. The Company is not in violation of any of the provisions
of its' Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws, or any amendments thereto.
c. Capitalization. The Company currently has the corporate authority to
issue a total of 50,000,000 shares of $0.0002 par value common stock ("Old
Common") and 5,000,000 shares of $0.0002 par value Preferred Stock ("Old
Preferred"), of which 32,500,000 shares of Old Common are presently issued and
outstanding. The record owners of such shares are identified in Exhibit "B" to
this Agreement.
On July 27, 2000, the Company filed in the office of the Secretary of
State of Delaware an amendment to its' Certificate of Incorporation (the
"Amendment") that will, effective at 12:01 a.m. on September 30, 2000, (a)
implement a 1 for 40 reverse split of the Company's Old Common and (b) increase
the authorized capitalization of the Company to 100,000,000 shares of $0.008 par
value common stock ("New Common") and 10,000,000 shares of $0.008 par value
preferred stock ("New Preferred"). A true and correct copy of the Amendment is
attached hereto as Exhibit "C" and incorporated herein by this reference.
Immediately prior to the closing of this Agreement, the Company will have
not more than 32,500,000 shares of Old Common issued and outstanding and on the
effective date of the Amendment the beneficial owners of such shares will become
the beneficial owners of not more than 812,500 shares of New Common.
During the period between the execution of this Agreement and the
effectiveness of the Amendment, the Company will not take or permit to be taken
any action that would withdraw, negate, modify or otherwise change the terms of
the Amendment, delay the effectiveness thereof or otherwise adversely effect the
rights of Yifan and the Shareholders as embodied in this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Company may, if
circumstances warrant, take such action as may be necessary to accelerate the
effectiveness of the Amendment.
In addition to the Old Common, the Company has previously issued selling
agent's warrants to purchase an aggregate of 693,333 shares of Old Common at an
exercise price of $0.20625 per share. A true and correct copy of the form of
Warrant Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit "D" and the beneficial owners of
such warrants, as reflected on the records of the Company, are identified in
Schedule "D-1" to this Agreement. The holders of the warrants have the
piggy-back and demand registration rights specified in the Warrant Agreement and
such warrants include customary provisions for the adjustment of the warrant
terms to reflect subsequent stock issuances at a price that is less than the
exercise price of the warrants. After accounting for all of the adjustments
required by the terms of the Warrant Agreements, including the adjustments
necessitated by the terms of this Agreement and the Amendment, such outstanding
warrants will represent the right to purchase an 136,191 shares of New Common at
an exercise price of $1.05 per share. The Company's "Calculation of Warrant
Exercise Price Adjustments" is set forth in Schedule "D-2" to this Agreement and
incorporated herein by this reference. Except for the selling agents warrants,
the Company has no other options, warrants or stock purchase rights issued and
outstanding.
d. Public Offering. The initial public offering of the Company was a bona
fide offering to the "public" as such term is used and defined in connection
with offerings of securities subject to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(said Act and rules and regulations promulgated thereunder being hereinafter
referred to as the "Securities Act") in material compliance with the Securities
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Old Common of the
Company that was issued and outstanding prior to the Closing Date of this
Agreement has been (a) issued pursuant to a valid claim of exemption under
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, (b) issued pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act, or (c) issued in violation of
the registration requirements of the Securities Act, but at a date sufficiently
remote from the Closing Date that that purchasers of such shares are precluded
from initiating or maintaining an action in law or in equity based on the sale
and issuance of such shares.
e. Authority. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority
to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and
to consummate the transactions contemplated herein. The execution and delivery
of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein
have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no other
corporate proceeding on the part of the Company (including, without limitation,
any approval by the shareholders of the Company of this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated herein) is necessary to authorize this Agreement or to
consummate the transactions contemplated herein. This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due authorization,
execution and delivery hereof by Yifan and the Shareholders, constitutes the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance
with its' terms.
f. No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents. The execution and delivery
of this Agreement by the Company does not, and the performance of this Agreement
by the Company will not (i) conflict with or violate the Certificate of
Incorporation or By-Laws, as amended or restated, of the Company, (ii) conflict
with or violate any Laws in effect as of the date of this Agreement applicable
to the Company or by which any of its' properties is bound, or (iii) result in
any breach of or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of
time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of
termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or require payment
under, or result in the creation of a lien or Encumbrance on, any of the
properties or assets of the Company pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage,
indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other
instrument or obligation to which the Company is a party or by which the Company
or any of its' properties is bound or subject except for breaches, defaults,
events, rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation, payment
obligations or liens or Encumbrances that would not have a material adverse
effect on the business, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise)
operations or prospects of the Company, taken as a whole, or on the transactions
herein contemplated ("Company Material Adverse Effect").
The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the
performance of this Agreement by the Company does not require the Company to
obtain any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or to make any filing
with or notification to, any Governmental Entities, except for applicable
requirements, if any, of (i) the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Blue Sky
Laws, the National Association of Securities Dealers, and the filing and
recordation of such appropriate documents as required by General Corporation Law
of Delaware and (ii) where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals,
authorizations or permits, or to make such filings or notifications, would not,
either individually or in the aggregate, prevent the Company from performing
its' obligations under this Agreement or have a Company Material Adverse Effect.
While the Company is not required to obtain any regulatory consents prior
to the closing of this Agreement, it is expressly acknowledged by the parties
that the Company will be required to make the following filings with the SEC in
connection with the execution of this Agreement, the effectiveness of the
Amendment and the performance of the Company's obligations hereunder.

and is legally authorized to mail to its' stockholders the
"Information Statement Pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act,"
the Company intends to take such additional action as may be necessary
to change the effective date of the Amendment to the date which is 20
days after the mailing date of the Information Statement;

conflict with, or in default or violation of (a) any Law applicable to the
Company or by which any of its' properties is bound or subject or (b) any of the
