889,284 shares of Common Stock for a purchase price of $48,389, or approximately
$0.054 per share. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, certain other parties

Purchaser, Eric P. Stoppenhagen, to serve as the director of the Company, and

no longer own any shares of Common Stock.
To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons as of the date hereof,
except to the extent set forth herein, the Reporting Persons do not have any

-------------------------------

severally, and not jointly with any other Seller, represents and warrants to the
Purchaser, only with respect to the Shares owned by such Seller, that:
6
(a) Capacity of the Seller; Authorization; Execution of
Agreements. Each Seller has all requisite power, authority and capacity to enter
into this Agreement and to perform the transactions and obligations to be

Agreement by such Seller, and the performance by such Seller of the transactions
and obligations contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the sale of
their respective Shares to the Purchaser hereunder, have been duly authorized by
all requisite action of such Seller. This Agreement constitutes a valid and
legally binding agreement of each Seller, enforceable in accordance with its
terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws of the United States (both
state and federal), affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights or remedies
in general from time to time in effect and the exercise by courts of equity
powers or their application of principles of public policy. Except as set forth
in Section 3.2(d) hereof, no corporate proceedings or other action on the part
of any Seller that is organized as a limited liability company or corporation
(including the approval of such Seller's board of directors, managers,
shareholders or members) are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
(b) Title to Shares. KI is the sole record and beneficial owner

Shares to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement will vest in the Purchaser
legal and valid title to the Shares, free and clear of all Liens, security
interests, adverse claims or other encumbrances of any character whatsoever,
other than encumbrances created by the Purchaser and restrictions on the resale
of the Shares under applicable securities laws ("Encumbrances").
(c) Brokers, Finders, and Agents. No Seller is, directly or
indirectly, obligated to anyone acting as broker, finder or in any other similar
capacity in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby. No Person has or, immediately following the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, will have, any right, interest or
valid claim against the Company, the Sellers or the Purchaser for any
commission, fee or other compensation as a finder or broker in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor are there any brokers' or
finders' fees or any payments or promises of payment of similar nature, however
characterized, that have been paid or that are or may become payable in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as a result of
any agreement or arrangement made by the Sellers.
(d) Disclosure. Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that the
Purchaser does not make and has not made (i) any representations or warranties
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those
specifically set forth in Section 4.3, or (ii) any statement, commitment or
promise to the Sellers or any of their representatives which is or was an
inducement to the Sellers to enter into this Agreement, other than as set forth
in this Agreement.
4.2 Representations and Warranties of the Primary Sellers. Subject to
the limitations and qualifications contained in Section 4.2(p) hereof, the
Primary Sellers jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Purchaser,
with respect to the Company, that:
7
(a) Organization and Standing. The Company is duly incorporated
and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has all
requisite corporate power and authority to own or lease its properties and
assets and to conduct its business as it is presently being conducted. The
Company does not own any equity interest, directly or indirectly, in any other
Person or business enterprise. The Company is qualified to do business and is in
good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect upon its assets,
properties, financial condition, results of operations or business. The Company
has no subsidiaries. Except as set forth in Section 3.3(b) hereof, no corporate
proceedings on the part of the Company (including the approval of the Company's
Board of Directors or shareholders) are necessary to authorize this Agreement or
to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
(b) Capitalization. At the date of this Agreement, the authorized
capital stock of the Company consists of (i) 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock,
of which 4,331,131 shares are issued and outstanding, and (ii) 10,000,000 shares
of preferred stock, par value of $0.0001 per share ("Preferred Stock"), of which
no shares are issued and outstanding. The Company has no other class or series
of equity securities authorized, issued, reserved for issuance or outstanding.
There are (x) no outstanding options, offers, warrants, conversion rights,
contracts or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase from the Company, or
agreements obligating the Company to issue, transfer, or sell (whether formal or
informal, written or oral, firm or contingent), shares of capital stock or other
securities of the Company (whether debt, equity, or a combination thereof) or
obligating the Company to grant, extend, or enter into any such agreement and
(y) no agreements or other understandings (whether formal or informal, written
or oral, firm or contingent) which require or may require the Company to
repurchase any of its Common Stock. There are no preemptive or similar rights
granted by the Company with respect to the Company's capital stock. There are no
anti-dilution or price adjustment provisions contained in any security issued by
the Company. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.2(b) hereto, the Company is not a
party to, and, to the Knowledge of the Primary Sellers, without inquiry, no
Stockholder is a party to, any registration rights agreements, voting
agreements, voting trusts, proxies or any other agreements, instruments or
understandings with respect to the voting of any shares of the capital stock of
the Company, or any agreement with respect to the transferability, purchase or
redemption of any shares of the capital stock of the Company. The sale of the
Shares to the Purchaser does not obligate the Company to issue any shares of
capital stock or other securities to any Person (other than the Purchaser) and
will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities, by agreement
with the Company, to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price
under such securities. The outstanding Common Stock is all duly and validly
authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Primary Sellers will
cause the Company not to issue, or resolve or agree to issue, any securities to
any party, other than the Purchaser, prior to the Closing. The Shares represent
89.16% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company, on a Fully-Diluted Basis.
(c) Status of Shares. The Shares (i) have been duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and are nonassessable, and will be such at the
Closing, (ii) were issued in compliance with all applicable United States
federal and state securities laws, and will be in compliance with such laws at
the Closing, (iii) subject to restrictions under this Agreement, and applicable
United States federal and state securities laws, have the rights and preferences
set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and will have such
rights and preferences at the Closing, and (iv) are free and clear of all
Encumbrances and will be free and clear of all Encumbrances at the Closing
(other than Encumbrances created by the Seller or Purchaser and restrictions on
the resale of the Shares under applicable securities laws).
(d) Conflicts; Defaults. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement by the Sellers and the performance by the Sellers of the transactions
and obligations contemplated hereby and thereby to be performed by it do not (i)
violate, conflict with, or constitute a default under any of the terms or
provisions of, the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, the Bylaws, or any
8
provisions of, or result in the acceleration of any obligation under, any
contract, note, debt instrument, security agreement or other instrument to which
the Company is a party or by which the Company, or any of the Company's assets,
is bound; (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any Encumbrances or
claims upon the Company's assets or upon any of the shares of capital stock of
the Company; (iii) constitute a violation of any law, statute, judgment, decree,
order, rule, or regulation of a Governmental Authority applicable to the
Company; or (iv) constitute an event which, after notice or lapse of time or
both, would result in any of the foregoing.
(e) Securities Laws. The Company has complied in all material
respects with applicable federal securities laws, rules and regulations,
including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, as such laws, rules and
regulations apply to the Company and its securities. All shares of capital stock
of the Company have been issued in accordance with applicable federal securities
laws, rules and regulations. There are no stop orders in effect with respect to
any securities of the Company that have been communicated to the Company's
transfer agent.
(f) SEC Filings. The SEC Filings, when filed, complied in all
material respects with the requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the

omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading. The financial statements of the Company
included in the SEC Filings complied in all material respects with the rules and
regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing.
Such financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a
consistent basis during the periods covered by such financial statements, except
as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto,
and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the
Company as of and for the dates thereof and for the periods indicated, and the
results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the
case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments.
All material agreements to which the Company is a party or to which the property
or assets of the Company are subject and which are required to be disclosed
pursuant to the 1934 Act are included as part of or specifically identified in
the SEC Filings.
(g) Material Changes. Since the date of the latest audited
financial statements included within the SEC Filings, except as specifically
disclosed in the SEC Filings, (i) there has been no event that could result in a

stock, and (v) the Company has not issued any equity securities ("Material

proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board,
government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or threatened in
writing against or affecting the Company.
(i) Brokers, Finders, and Agents. The Company is not, directly or
indirectly, obligated to anyone acting as broker, finder or in any other similar
capacity in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby. No Person has or, immediately following the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, will have, any right, interest or
valid claim against the Company, the Sellers or the Purchaser for any
commission, fee or other compensation as a finder or broker in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor are there any brokers' or
9
finders' fees or any payments or promises of payment of similar nature, however
characterized, that have been paid or that are or may become payable in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as a result of
any agreement or arrangement made by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

contemplated hereunder.

basis to believe that any audit of the Returns would cause a Material Adverse
Effect upon the Company or its financial condition. The Company has paid all
Taxes shown to be due on such Returns.
(ii) All Taxes that the Company is required by law to
withhold or collect have been duly withheld or collected, and have been timely
paid over to the proper governmental authorities to the extent due and payable.

thereof, the provisions of Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder,
and/or such other available exemption from registration, and under the

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR
UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY
PORTION HEREOF OR INTEREST HEREIN MAY BE SOLD, ASSIGNED,
TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS THE SAME
IS REGISTERED UNDER SAID ACTS AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS OR UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION IS

in such Shares. The Purchaser has had an opportunity to review the SEC Filings
of the Company.

or indirectly, obligated to anyone acting as broker, finder, or in any other
similar capacity in connection with this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby. No Person has or, immediately following the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, will have, any right, interest
or valid claim against the Company, the Sellers or the Purchaser for any
commission, fee or other compensation as a finder or broker in connection with

5.7 Indemnification. KI hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Purchaser and the Company (the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any
and all liabilities, obligations, claims, losses, expenses, damages, actions,
liens and deficiencies (including reasonable attorneys' fees) which exist, or
which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Indemnified Parties
due to or arising out of any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or
warranty of any Primary Seller under Section 4.2 hereof, or any covenant,
agreement or obligation of any Primary Seller hereunder or in any other
certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby ("Damages"),
for a period of six (6) months from the Closing Date (the "Indemnification," and
the period herein is referred to as the "Indemnification Period"). KI shall not
be obligated to pay to the Indemnified Parties any amounts for Indemnification
for Damages in excess of US$50,000 ("Cap"). KI shall not be obligated to make
any payment for Indemnification in respect of any claims for Damages that are
made by the Indemnified Parties after the expiration of the Indemnification
Period; provided, however, that the obligations of KI under the Indemnification
shall remain in full force and effect, subject to the Cap, in respect of any
claims for Damages which are made prior to, and remain pending at, the
expiration of the Indemnification Period. In addition, KI covenants that it
shall have no liquidation, dissolution, winding up or any other similar action
of itself within the Indemnification Period. For the abundance of clarity,
Lionsridge, Keating, Laurus and GFI are not responsible for any indemnification
to the Indemnified Parties for any Damages. The indemnification provided by this
Section 5.7 shall be the sole remedy of the Indemnified Parties for any Damages;
provided, however, that no remedies of the Indemnified Parties for any breach by
any of the Sellers of the representations and warranties contained in Section
4.1 shall be limited in any way by this Section 5.7.

to the Purchaser's review and comment.
15

at their own cost and expense, make any stockholder filings with the SEC to the
extent, and in the time period, required by SEC rules as a result of the

its own cost and expense, cause the Company to timely file a Current Report on
Form 8-K with the SEC disclosing the change of control of the Company and the
purchase of the Shares contemplated hereunder and any other information required
in connection therewith ("Post-Closing 8-K").
5.11 Assignment of Registration Rights. Effective as of the Closing,
each of the Sellers hereby assigns and transfers to the Purchaser all of its
rights under those certain Registration Rights Agreements to which each Seller
is party as listed on Schedule 4.2(b), with respect to the Shares being sold to
the Purchaser hereunder, and the Purchaser hereby accepts such assignment. The
Purchaser shall become, and is hereby made, a party to each such Registration
Rights Agreement as a Holder (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) and shall, and hereby agrees to, be bound by all of the terms and
conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement applicable to it as a
Holder, with respect to the Shares being acquired by it hereunder.

considering or has made an Acquisition Proposal.
(b) Until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of
this Agreement pursuant to Section VII hereof, neither the Purchaser nor any of

or shall cause the Company to pay, in full each of the Company Closing
Obligations, as well as any additional liabilities or obligations incurred by
the Company since the date of this Agreement, including any and all liabilities
or obligations incurred by the Company in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Assumed Obligations
shall be paid by the Purchaser at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof.

$25,000 ("Deposit") was deposited into an escrow account ("Escrow Account") by
the Purchaser pursuant to an Escrow Agreement between the Purchaser, the Primary
Sellers and Escrow, LLC ("Escrow Agent") dated December 18, 2009. The Deposit
shall be disbursed from the Escrow Account and paid: (i) to the Primary Sellers,

contemplated by this Agreement close. The Deposit shall be held and disbursed
pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement and this Agreement, and the
