Company
hereby makes the following representations and warranties to
each of the
Investors from and as of the date hereof through the Closing
Date:
(a) ORGANIZATION AND QUALIFICATION; MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT. The
Company is
a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the
laws of the State of Nevada. Except for the Company's
subsidiaries disclosed in
its Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2001 or its
subsequently
filed Form 10-QSBs (the "COMPANY SEC FILINGS"), there are no
other corporations
or other entities (including partnerships, limited liability
companies and joint
ventures) in which the Company directly or indirectly owns at
least a majority
of the voting power represented by the outstanding capital stock
or other voting
securities or interests having voting power under ordinary
circumstances to
elect a majority of the directors or similar members of the
governing body, or
otherwise to direct the management and policies, of such
corporation or entity.
The Company has the requisite corporate power to own its
properties and to carry
on its business as now being conducted. The Company is duly
qualified as a
foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in
every jurisdiction
in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned
by it makes such
qualification necessary other than those in which the failure so
to qualify
would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect.
"MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT" means any adverse effect on the
business, operations,
properties, prospects, or financial condition of the entity with
respect to
which such term is used and which is material to such entity and
other entities
controlling or controlled by such entity, taken as a whole, and
any material
adverse effect on the transactions contemplated under the
Agreement or any other
agreement or document contemplated hereby.
(b) AUTHORIZATION; ENFORCEMENT. (i) The Company has the
requisite corporate
power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and
to issue the
Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, the terms of the
Notes and the
terms of the Investor Warrants, (ii) the execution and delivery
of this
Agreement by the Company and the consummation by it of the
transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, including the issuance of the
Notes, the
Investor Warrants in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
and the shares
of Common Stock underlying the Notes and the Investor Warrants
(the "UNDERLYING
SHARES"), have been duly authorized by all necessary action, and
no further
consent or authorization of the Company is required, (iii) this
Agreement has
been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and (iv) each
of this
Agreement, the Notes and the Investor Warrants constitutes the
valid and binding
obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in
accordance with its
terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by
bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or similar laws relating to the
enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and by general principles of
equity.
(c) CAPITALIZATION. SCHEDULE 2.1(c) sets forth the outstanding
capital
stock of the Company. The issued and outstanding shares of
capital stock of the
Company have been validly issued and are fully paid and
non-assessable. Except
3
<PAGE>
as set forth on SCHEDULE 2.1(C), there are no outstanding
options, warrants,
rights to subscribe for, calls or commitments of any character
whatsoever
relating to, or securities or rights exchangeable or convertible
into, any
ownership interest in the Company.
(d) ISSUANCE OF NOTES AND THE INVESTOR WARRANTS. The Notes and
Investor
Warrants are duly authorized and the Underlying Shares will be,
as of the
Closing Date, reserved for issuance and, upon conversion of the
Notes in
accordance with the terms thereof and upon exercise of the
Warrants in
accordance with terms thereof, will be validly issued, fully
paid and
non-assessable, free and clear of any and all liens, claims and
encumbrances,
except for liens, claims and encumbrances placed upon such
Securities by an
Investor.
(e) NO CONFLICTS. The execution, delivery and performance of
this
Agreement, the Notes and the Investor Warrants by the Company
and the
consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby
do not and will not (i) result in a violation of the
organizational documents,
as amended, of the Company or (ii) conflict with, or constitute
a default (or an
event which 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, any agreement, indenture, patent, patent
license or instrument
to which the Company is a party, or result in a violation of any
Federal, state,
local or foreign law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or
decree (including
Federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to
the Company or
by which any property or asset of the Company is bound (except
for such
conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations,
cancellations and
violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have
a Material
Adverse Effect); provided, that, for purposes of such
representation as to
Federal, state, local or foreign law, rule or regulation, no
representation is
made herein with respect to any of the same applicable solely to
the Investors
and not to the Company. The business of the Company has not
been, is not now
being conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation
of any
governmental entity, except for violations which either singly
or in the
aggregate do not and will not have a Material Adverse Effect.
The Company is not
required under Federal, state, local or foreign law, rule or
regulation to
obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or to make any
filing or
registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for
it to execute,
deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement,
the Notes, the
Investor Warrants or issue and sell the Notes or such Warrants
in accordance
with the terms hereof, the Underlying Shares issuable upon
conversion of the
Notes and upon exercise of the Warrants, provided that, for
purposes of the
representation made in this sentence, the Company is assuming
and relying upon
the accuracy of the relevant representations and agreements of
the Investors
herein.
(f) NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE. Since May 31, 2002, the date
through which
the most recent unaudited financial statements (the "FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS") of
the Company have been prepared, no event which, individually or
in the
aggregate, when considered with any other event, had or is
likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect has occurred or exists with respect to
the Company,
except as otherwise disclosed or reflected in Financial
Statements, and as
otherwise provided to the Investors prior to the date
hereof.
(g) NO UNDISCLOSED LIABILITIES. Except as set forth in the SEC
Filings, the
Company does not have any liabilities or obligations not
disclosed in the
Financial Statements, other than those liabilities incurred in
the ordinary
4
<PAGE>
course of its respective business since May 31, 2002, or
liabilities or
obligations, individually or in the aggregate, which do not or
would not have a
Material Adverse Effect on the Company.
(h) NO GENERAL SOLICITATION. Neither the Company nor, to the
Company's
knowledge, any of its affiliates or any person acting on its or
their behalf has
engaged in any form of general solicitation or general
advertising (within the
meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the offer or sale of
the Securities.
(i) INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Except as set forth in the SEC
Filings, the
Company owns, or has legal and valid rights by license, lease,
or other
agreement to use, all trademarks, trade names, service marks,
Internet domain
names, logos, assumed names, copyrights, patents, trade secrets,
software,
databases and names, likenesses and other information concerning
real persons,
and all registrations and applications therefor (collectively,
the "INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS") which are used or are needed to conduct its
business as it is
now being conducted or as proposed to be conducted. The Company
has no reason to
believe that the Intellectual Property Rights owned or used by
the Company are
invalid or unenforceable or that the use of such Intellectual
Property Rights by
the Company infringes upon or conflicts with any right of any
third party, and
the Company has no knowledge of a basis for such claim or has
received notice of
any such infringement or conflict. The Company has no knowledge
of any
infringement or other violation of the Company's Intellectual
Property Rights by
any third party. All registrations and applications for material
Intellectual
Property Rights owned by the Company are valid and subsisting,
and standing in
the record ownership of the Company. There are no settlements,
consents,
agreements to forebear or other similar agreements or
arrangements to which the
Company is bound which materially affects its rights to own, use
or enforce any
Intellectual Property Rights.
(j) NO LITIGATION. Except as set forth in the SEC Filings, no
litigation or
claim (including those for unpaid taxes) against the Company is
pending or, to
the Company's knowledge, threatened, and no other event has
occurred, which if
determined adversely would have a Material Adverse Effect on the
Company, or
would materially adversely effect the transactions contemplated
hereby.
(k) BROKERS. During the Offering Period, the Company may elect
to pay
brokerage commissions to registered broker-dealers who, at the
Company's
request, assist in the sale of the Notes. The commissions will
be up to a
maximum of eight percent (8%) of any proceeds received from the
Notes offered
and sold by an authorized broker-dealer.

Section 2.2 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE INVESTORS.
Each of the
Investors, severally and not jointly, hereby makes the following
representations
and warranties to the Company as of the date hereof and on the
Closing Date:
(a) AUTHORIZATION; ENFORCEMENT. (i) Such Investor has the
requisite power
and authority, or the legal capacity, as the case may be, to
enter into and
perform this Agreement and to purchase the Securities being sold
to such
Investor hereunder, (ii) the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by such
Investor and the consummation by it of the transactions
contemplated hereby have
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or partnership
action, as
required, and (iii) this Agreement constitutes the valid and
binding obligation
of such Investor enforceable against such Investor in accordance
its terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar
laws relating to,
or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors' rights and
remedies or by
other equitable principles of general application.
(b) NO CONFLICTS. The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement
and the consummation by such Investor of the transactions
contemplated hereby do
not and will not (i) result in a violation of such Investor's
organizational
documents, or (ii) conflict with any agreement, indenture, or
instrument to
which such Investor is a party, or (iii) result in a violation
of any law, rule,
or regulation or any order, judgment or decree of any court or
governmental
agency applicable to such Investor. Such Investor is not
required to obtain any
consent or authorization of any governmental agency in order for
it to perform
its obligations under this Agreement.
(c) INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION. Such Investor is purchasing the
securities
purchased hereunder for its own account and not with a view to
distribution in
violation of any securities laws. With respect to the purchase
of the securities
pursuant to this Agreement, Investor is not acting as an
"underwriter" within
the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Such
Investor has no
present intention to sell the securities purchased hereunder and
such Investor
has no present arrangement (whether or not legally binding) to
sell the
Securities purchased hereunder to or through any person or
entity; provided,
however, that by the representations herein, such Investor does
not agree to
hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific
term and reserves
the right to dispose of any of the Securities at any time in
accordance with
Federal and state securities laws applicable to such
disposition.

INVESTOR" as
defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act. The
Investor has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters in
general and
investments in particular, so that such Investor is able to
evaluate the merits
and risks of an investment in the Securities purchased hereunder
and to protect
its own interests in connection with such investment. In
addition (but without
limiting the effect of the Company's representations and
warranties contained
herein), such Investor has reviewed the Company's SEC Filings
and received such
information as it considers necessary or appropriate for
deciding whether to
purchase the Securities purchased hereunder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the
Investor has not been provided and is not otherwise in
possession of material
nonpublic information pertaining to the Company.
6
<PAGE>
(e) RULE 144. Such Investor understands that there is no public
trading
market for the Notes or the Warrants, that none is expected to
develop, and that
the Notes and the Warrants must be held indefinitely unless such
securities are
registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from
registration is
available. Such Investor understands that any Underlying Shares
issued upon
exercise of the Warrants must be held indefinitely unless such
securities are
registered under the Act or an exemption from registration is
available. Such
Investor has been advised or is aware of the provisions of Rule
144 promulgated
under the Act.
(f) BROKERS. Investor has taken no action, which would give rise
to any
claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finder's fees or
similar payments
by the Company relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated
hereby.
(g) RELIANCE BY THE COMPANY. Such Investor understands that the
Notes and
Warrants are being offered and sold in reliance on a
transactional exemption
from the registration requirements of Federal and state
securities laws and that
the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the
representations,
warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of
such Investor set
forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such
exemptions and the
suitability of such Investor to acquire the Securities.
