SECTION 2.01 Organization. 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.
SECTION 2.03 Authority Relative to this Agreement. The Company has full corporate
power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by the Board of Directors of
the Company and the Sole Shareholder and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company
are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions so contemplated. This
Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid
and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms,
subject to the provisions of any bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or similar law applicable to
the rights of creditors generally.

SECTION 2.04 No Violations. Except for the filing and recording of a Certificate of
Merger as required by the GCL no filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of,
any public body or authority is necessary for the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, except for filings, permits, authorizations, consents or approvals,
the failure to obtain which would not in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition, results of operations or business of the Company taken as a whole or which
would not prevent or delay in any material respect the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby. 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).

(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.
SECTION 2.07 Litigation. There are no actions, suits, or proceedings pending against,
or to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company before any court or arbitrator
or any governmental body, agency or official.

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 Companys reliance upon such exemptions is predicated in part on Sole Shareholders
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 Shareholders 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 Shareholders
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
5
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

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.
