contemplated business. The Company is duly
qualified to transact business and is
in good standing in each jurisdiction
wherein the properties owned or leased or

preferences superior to those of the Series
A Preferred Stock.
(b) There are no outstanding options, warrants, convertible
securities or other rights calling for the
issuance of, and there are no
commitments or arrangements to issue, any
shares of Common Stock of the Company
or any security convertible, exchangeable
or exercisable for shares of Common
Stock of the Company. There are no

or
control, directly or indirectly, any
interest in any corporation, association or

2.4 Power
and Authority. All corporate action on the part of the
Company and its officers, directors and
stockholders necessary for the

constitute the valid and legally binding
obligations of the Company, enforceable in
accordance with their terms, subject

Shares,
when issued, sold and delivered in
accordance with the terms hereof for the
consideration expressed herein, will be
duly and validly issued, fully paid and

dilutive effect to the Common Stock upon
the issuance of the Underlying Shares.

the Closing contains or will contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact necessary to

(the "Balance Sheet Date") included in the

sale of the Shares. To the extent
permitted by law, the Company will
indemnify and hold harmless the Investor

2.22 Financial Statements. The Company has provided to the Investor
its
audited financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2004 and its
unaudited statements for the period ended
June 30, 2005. The consolidated

related notes, including the Balance
Sheet, present fairly the financial
position of the Company as of the dates
indicated and the statement of operations,
changes in shareholders' equity and
cash flows for the periods specified; said
financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the
United States ("GAAP") applied on a
consistent basis throughout the periods
involved. Evans, Gaither, & Associates,
PLLC, who have audited and reviewed
certain consolidated financial statements
of the Company, are independent public
accountants as required under Rule 101 of
the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants Code of Professional
Conduct, and its interpretations and
rulings. As reflected in the Company's
financial statements, the Company has,
and as of the Closing Date shall have, no
business, material assets or any
material liabilities other than cash and
expenses payable in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereunder. The

statements in conformity with GAAP and to

properties
against loss or damage by fire or other
casualty and maintains, in amounts which
it believes to be adequate, such other
insurance, including but not limited to
liability insurance, as is usually
maintained by companies in the same or
similar businesses. The Company has no
reason to believe that it will not be
able to renew its existing insurance
coverage as and when such coverage expires
or to obtain similar coverage from similar
insurers as may be necessary to
continue its business at a cost that would
not have a Material Adverse Effect.
2.25 Environmental Laws. The Company (i) is not in violation of
any
applicable statute or Judgments of any

subject to any pending, or to the knowledge

individually or in the aggregate, would
reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

or sale of the Shares.

its
affiliates, nor any person acting on its or
their behalf, has, directly or
indirectly, made any offers or sales of any
security or solicited any offers to
buy any security, under circumstances that
would require registration of any of
the Shares or Underlying Securities under
the Securities Act or cause this
offering of the Shares to be integrated
with prior offerings by the Company for
purposes of the Securities Act.
2.28 Exemption from Registration. Neither the Company nor any
agent
acting on its behalf shall take any action
that would cause the loss of an
exemption from, the registration provisions
of the Securities Act and any state
or foreign securities laws for the offer,
sale and issuance of the Shares and
the conversion of the Shares into and/or
for the Underlying Shares.
2.29 Transactions With Affiliates. Except as set forth on

has no employees other than its officers
and thus is not bound by or subject to
(and none of its assets or properties is
bound by or subject to) any written or
oral, express or implied, contract,
commitment or arrangement with any labor
union, and no labor union has requested or,
to the best of the Company's
knowledge, has sought to represent any of
the employees, representatives or
agents of the Company. Also because the
Company has no employees other than its
officers there is no strike or other labor
dispute involving the Company
pending, or to the best of the Company's
knowledge, threatened, that could have
a Material Adverse Affect on the assets,
properties, financial condition,
operating results, or business of the
Company (as such business is presently
conducted and as it is proposed to be
conducted), nor is the Company aware of
any labor organization activity involving
its employees.
2.36 Agreement of Merger. The Company agrees that there is no
order,
ruling, judgment or decree in effect,
including any regulatory agency, which
would enjoin or prohibit a reverse
triangular merger that the Company will enter
into with a target company to be identified
(the reverse triangular merger is
further described in Section 4.15
below).
