REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 2.1 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. The 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

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.

Investor and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have

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

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,

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.

Warrants are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption

from the registration requirements of Federal and state securities laws and that
