NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual
covenants and agreements of the parties set forth in this Agreement, and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale of the Shares.
1.1. Agreement to Sell and Purchase Shares. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Investor and the
Investor agrees to purchase from the Company, at the Closing (as defined below),
an aggregate of 7,282,913(1) shares of Common Stock (the "Shares"), for an
aggregate purchase price of $650,000 (the "Purchase Price"), payable in
immediately available funds at the Closing.
1.2. Delivery of Shares; Legend.
(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, the
Company shall deliver to the Investor one or more certificates, registered in

representing the Shares shall be made against receipt by the Company of a check
payable to the order of the Company or a wire transfer of U.S. funds to an
account designated by the Company in the full amount of the Purchase Price.
- ----------
(1) The aggregate number of shares shall be equal to the quotient of $650,000
divided by the Per Share Purchase Price. The Per Share Purchase Price shall be
equal to 85% of the average of the closing price of one share of Common Stock on
the NASD Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board for the five (5) days immediately
preceding the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Per
Share Purchase Price shall not be more than $0.10 per share nor less than $0.085
per share.
(b) The certificates representing the Shares delivered
pursuant to Section 1.2(a), and any securities issued in exchange for or in
respect thereof, shall bear a legend to the following effect.
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES
LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT
TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH STATE SECURITIES LAWS."
1.3. Closing. The closing (the "Closing") of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement shall take place on the date hereof at the
offices of the Company.
1.4 Additional Purchase/Conversion of Note. The Investor has also
loaned to the Company on or about August 30, 2004 the sum of $100,000 pursuant
to a six month promissory note bearing interest at 20% per annum (the "Note").
The Investor and the Company hereby irrevocably agree that upon the Maturity of
that Note, the Company shall repay the Note in shares of its Common Stock, at a
conversion price equal to a per share purchase price equal to 85% of the average
of the closing price of one share of Common Stock on the NASD Over-the-Counter
Bulletin Board for the five (5) days immediately preceding the Maturity Date of
the Note, or, if the Company's Common Stock is not then traded on the OTC
Bulletin Board, at 85% of fair market value as determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company.
2. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Investor.
2.1. Authorization; Enforceability. The Investor is (i) a bona fide resident of
the state contained in the address set forth on the signature page as the
Investor's home address, (ii) at least 21 years of age and (iii) legally
competent to execute this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by the Investor and, assuming the due authorization, execution and
delivery of this Agreement by the other party hereto, constitutes the legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor
in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or
general laws of applicability affecting creditors' rights generally and to
general equitable principles.
2.2. No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of
this Agreement will not result in the violation by the Investor of any law,
statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any
court or governmental authority to or by which the Investor is bound, and will
not conflict with, or result in a breach or violation of, any of the terms or
provisions of, or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a
default under, any lease, loan agreement, mortgage, security agreement, trust
indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Investor is a party or
by which he is bound or to which any of his properties or assets is subject.
2.3. Governmental Consents. No consent, approval, authorization or other order
of any governmental authority or other third party is required to be obtained by
the Investor in connection with the authorization, execution, delivery and
performance by the Investor of this Agreement.
2.4. Investment Representations.
(a) The Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company
that the Investor is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Rule
501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"). Specifically, the Investor certifies that (initial all
appropriate spaces on the following pages):
_________ (1) The Investor is an accredited investor because
(Initial) he has an individual net worth, or with his spouse
has a joint net worth, in excess of $1,000,000.
For purposes of this Agreement, "net worth" means
the excess of total assets at fair market value,
including home, home furnishings and automobiles,
over total liabilities.
_________ (2) The Investor is an accredited investor because
(Initial) he has individual income (exclusive of any income
attributable to his spouse) of more than $200,000
in each of the past two years, or joint income
with his spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of
those years, and such investor reasonably expects
to reach the same income level in the current
year.
_________ (3) The Investor is an accredited investor because
(Initial) he is a director, executive officer or managing
member of the Company.
(b) The Investor hereby certifies that he is not a
non-resident alien for purposes of income taxation (as such term is defined in
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Income Tax Regulations). The
Investor hereby agrees that if any of the information in this Section 2.4(b)
changes, the Investor will notify the Company within 60 days thereof. The
Investor understands that the information contained in this Section 2.4(b) may
be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by the Company and that any false
statement contained in this Section 2.4(b) could be punished by fine,
imprisonment or both.
(c) The Investor will not sell or otherwise transfer the Shares without
registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and fully
understands and agrees that he must bear the economic risk of his investment for
an indefinite period of time because, among other reasons, the Shares have not
been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of certain
states and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed
of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under
applicable securities laws of such states or an exemption from such registration
is
available. The Investor understands that the Company is under no obligation to
register the Shares on his behalf or to assist him in complying with any
exemption from such registration under the Securities Act, except that if any
sale proposed by the Investor is exempt from registration, the Company will
cause its counsel, at the Company's expense, to provide an appropriate opinion
to that effect to the Company's transfer agent. It also understands that sales
or transfers of the Shares are further restricted by state securities laws. The
Investor further understands that the Company is not registered as an investment
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(d) The Investor acknowledges that in making a decision to subscribe for
the Shares, the Investor has relied solely upon independent investigations made
by the Investor. The Investor understands the business objectives and policies
of, and the strategies which may be pursued by, the Company. The Investor's
investment in the Shares is consistent with the investment purposes and
objectives and cash flow requirements of the Investor and will not adversely
affect the Investor's overall need for diversification and liquidity. The
Investor acknowledges that he is not subscribing pursuant hereto for any Shares
as a result of or subsequent to (a) any advertisement, article, notice or other
communications published on-line, in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or
broadcast over television or radio, or (b) any seminar or meeting whose
attendees, including the Investor, had been invited as a result of, subsequent
to or pursuant to any of the foregoing.
(e) The Investor has not reproduced, duplicated or delivered this
Agreement to any other person, except professional advisors to the Investor or
as instructed by the Company.
(f) The Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters that the Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks
of the Investor's investment in the Shares and is able to bear such risks, and
has obtained, in the Investor's judgment, sufficient information from the
Company or its authorized representatives to evaluate the merits and risks of
such investment. The Investor has evaluated the risks of investing in the Shares
and has determined that the Shares is a suitable investment for the Investor.
(g) The Investor can afford a complete loss of the investment in the
Shares, can afford to hold the investment in the Shares for an indefinite period
of time, and acknowledges that distributions may be paid in cash or in kind.
(h) The Investor's overall commitment to investments that are not readily
marketable is not disproportionate to his net worth, and his investment in the
Shares will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.
(i) The Investor has adequate means of providing for his current needs and
contingencies and has no need for liquidity in its investment in the Shares.
(j) The Investor is acquiring the Shares subscribed for herein for his own
account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to distribute or
resell such Shares in whole or in part.
(k) The Investor agrees and is aware that:
(1) the Company has a limited operating history under its current business plan;
(2) no federal or state agency has passed upon the Shares or made any findings
or determination as to the fairness of this investment;
(3) there are substantial risks of loss of investment incidental to the purchase
of the Shares; and
(4) the Shares cannot be resold readily because the Shares have not been
registered by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Shares cannot be
resold without (A) the Company's consent, which may require an effective
registration statement, or (B) an opinion of counsel that an exemption of
registration is available, and the Investor may have to bear the risk of this
investment for an indefinite period of time.
(l) The Investor and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all
materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and
materials relating to the offer and sale of the Shares, which have been
requested by the Investor. The Investor and his advisors, if any, have been
afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and have received
complete and satisfactory answers to any such inquiries. The Investor has had
access to all additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of the
information set forth in this Agreement and any other materials furnished
herewith, and has taken all the steps necessary to evaluate the merits and risks
of an investment as proposed hereunder. Except as set forth in this Agreement,
the Company has made no representation or warranty on which the Investor has
relied to enter into this Agreement and acquire the Shares.
(m) The Investor does not have a present intention to sell the Shares nor
a present arrangement or intention to effect any distribution of any of the
Shares to or through any person or entity for purposes of selling, offering,
distributing or otherwise disposing of any of the Shares.
(n) The Investor understands that the legend set forth in Section 1.2(b),
to the effect that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act
or applicable state securities laws, shall be placed on the certificate
evidencing the Shares and appropriate notations to such effect will be made in
the Company's stock books.
(o) The Investor understands that the net proceeds to the
Company from this subscription will be used by the Company for general operating
expenses.
2.5. Brokers. There is no broker, investment banker, financial
advisor, finder or other person which has been retained by or is authorized to
act on behalf of the Investor who is entitled to any fee or commission in
connection with the execution of this Agreement.
3. Indemnification. The Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, and its managers, officers, directors, employees, agents and
shareholders, and each other person, if any, who controls or is controlled by,
within the meaning of Section 15
of the Securities Act, any thereof, against any and all loss, liability, claim,
damage, cost and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, legal fees
and disbursements and any and all other expenses whatsoever incurred in
investigating, preparing for or defending against any litigation, arbitration
proceeding, or other action or proceeding, commenced or threatened, or any claim
whatsoever) arising out of or in connection with, or based upon or resulting
from, (a) any false representation or warranty or breach or failure by the
Investor to comply with any covenant or agreement made by the Investor in this
Agreement or in any other document furnished by the Investor to any of the
foregoing in connection with this transaction or (b) any action for securities
law violations instituted by the Investor which is finally resolved by judgment
against the Investor.
4. Power of Attorney. The Investor, as a shareholder of the Company,
hereby appoints the Company as its true and lawful representative and
attorney-in-fact, in its name, place and stead to make, execute, sign,
acknowledge, swear to and file:
(a) any Company certificate, business certificate, fictitious name certificate,
amendment thereto, or other instrument or document of any kind necessary or
desirable to accomplish the business, purpose and objectives of the Company, or
required by any applicable federal, state, or local or foreign law; and
(b) any and all instruments, certificates and other documents which may be
deemed necessary or desirable to effect the winding-up and termination of the
Company (including, but not limited to, a notice of dissolution of the
Shareholder).
This power of attorney is coupled with an interest, is irrevocable, and shall
survive and shall not be affected by the subsequent death, disability,
incompetency, termination, bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of the
Investor; provided, however, that this power of attorney will terminate upon the
substitution of another shareholder of the Company for the Investor, upon the
withdrawal of the Investor from the Company or upon the redemption of all of the
Shares owned by the Investor.
