          WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of the Purchaser and the Company have each determined that it is in the best interests of their respective stockholders for the Purchaser to acquire the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and
          WHEREAS, in furtherance of such acquisition, the Boards of Directors of the Purchaser and the Company have each approved the merger of the Purchaser with and into the Company in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “GCL”) and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and

The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted, except where the failure to be so existing and in good standing or to have such power and authority would not in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the business operations or financial condition of the Company taken as a whole. The Company is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the property owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so duly qualified or licensed and in good standing would not in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the business, operations or financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. Schedule 2.01 sets forth each jurisdiction where the Company is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation. The Company has heretofore made available to the Purchaser accurate and complete copies of the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws, as currently in effect, of the Company. The Company has no subsidiaries and is not a party to any partnership, agency or joint venture agreement.
          For purposes of this Agreement, the term “subsidiary” shall mean each corporation or other entity in which a corporation owns or controls, directly through one or more subsidiaries, 50% or more of the stock or other interests having general voting power in the election of directors or persons performing similar functions.
          SECTION 2.02 Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of (i) 40,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share, none of which shares are issued and outstanding as of the date hereof; (ii) 20,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share, 5,000,000 of which are issued and outstanding on the date hereof (the “Company Shares”); and (iii) 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, none of which have been designated, issued or are outstanding. All of the issued and outstanding Company Shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free of preemptive rights. Except for the Company Shares, there are no shares of capital stock of the Company issued or outstanding or any subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights, convertible securities or other agreements or commitments of any character obligating the Company to issue, transfer, sell or pay any amount with respect to any of its securities.

Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company nor the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by the Company with any provisions hereof will (i) conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Company, (ii) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, license, lease, contract, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Company is a party or by which it or its properties or assets may be bound or (iii) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company, or any of its properties or assets, except in the case of (ii) or (iii) for violations, breaches or defaults which would not in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or business of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole and which would not prevent or delay in any material respect the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (each of such effects being referred to as a “Material Adverse Effect,” provided that, for the purposes of Article III hereof, the term “Material Adverse Effect” shall be deemed to refer to the occurrence of any such event with respect to the financial condition, results of operations or business of the Purchaser).
          SECTION 2.05 Properties.

               (b) There is no violation of any law, regulation or ordinance (including without limitation, laws, regulations or ordinances relating to zoning, environmental, city planning or similar matters) relating to the properties and assets of the Company and its subsidiaries except such violations as would not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
          SECTION 2.06 No Undisclosed Liabilities. There are no liabilities of the Company of any kind whatsoever, whether accrued, contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise, and there is no existing condition situation or set of circumstances which could reasonably result in such a liability.

ARTICLE II(A)
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
OF THE SOLE SHAREHOLDER
          SECTION 2(A).01 Accuracy of Representations and Warranties of the Company. To the best of Sole Shareholder’s knowledge, each representation and warranty of the Company is true, accurate and complete in all respects and does not omit to state a fact necessary to make such representation or warranty, not misleading.
          SECTION 2(A).02 Investment Representations. Sole Shareholder has been advised that the shares in the Purchaser to be issued to the Sole Shareholder have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), or the relevant State Laws, but are being offered and will be sold pursuant to exemptions from the Securities Act and State Laws, and that the Company’s reliance upon such exemptions is predicated in part on Sole Shareholder’s representations contained herein. Sole Shareholder represents and warrants that the shares in the Purchaser to be issued to the Sole Shareholder are being acquired for Sole Shareholder’s own account and for long-term investment and without the intention of reselling or redistributing the shares in the Purchaser to be issued to the Sole Shareholder. Sole Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the following legend will be placed on the Certificate for the shares in the Purchaser to be issued to the Sole Shareholder:
“The securities represented by this certificate have been acquired for investment under an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Such securities may not be offered, sold, or transferred in the absence of (A) an effective registration statement under the 1933 or (B) an exemption therefrom and an opinion of counsel to the issuer to such effect.”
     Sole Shareholder further represents and agrees that if, contrary to Sole Shareholder’s foregoing intentions, Sole Shareholder should later desire to dispose of or transfer any of the shares in the Purchaser to be issued to the Sole Shareholder in any manner, Sole Shareholder shall not do so without first obtaining (i) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such proposed disposition or transfer may be made lawfully without the registration of such

shares pursuant to the Securities Act and applicable State Laws, or (ii) registration of such shares (it being expressly understood that the Company shall not have any obligation to register such shares). Sole Shareholder represents and warrants that he is a bona fide resident of (or if Sole Shareholder is other than a natural person, is a legal entity organized or incorporated under the laws of, and is domiciled in) the State of New York. Sole Shareholder represents and warrants that he is an officer of the Purchaser and, accordingly an accredited investor as defined in Rule 502 under the Securities Act. Sole Shareholder represents and warrants that he has or will make a full investigation of the Purchaser and is aware that an investment in the Purchaser is highly speculative and not suitable to a person who can not afford to lose his entire investment.
