                  1.2 The Note shall be repaid, along with all accrued and

         of the Company's debt or equity securities, or (2) 120 days from the
         Closing Date (the "Maturity Date").

                           (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agrees
         to remit to the Purchaser $25,000 per month out of proceeds to be
         received by the Company pursuant to an agreement between Delta Airlines

                  (a) EXISTENCE. The Company is a corporation duly organized and
         in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is duly
         qualified to do business and is in good standing in all states where
         such qualification is necessary, except for those jurisdictions in
         which the failure to qualify would not, in the aggregate, have a
         material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results
         of operations or business.

                  (b) AUTHORITY. The execution and delivery by the Company of
         this Agreement and the Note (i) are within the Company's corporate
         powers; (ii) are duly authorized by the Company's board of directors;

         or "blue sky" laws, do not require any governmental consent,
         registration or approval; (vi) do not contravene any contractual or
         governmental restriction binding upon the Company; and (vii) will not

         indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement or other
         material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by

         affected.

                  (c) BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement, the Note and the Warrant
         have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and
         constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company,

         bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general
         applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general
         equity principles.

         Company consists of 95,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001

         delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the
         Warrant, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and

                  (e) DISCLOSURE DOCUMENTS. The Company has furnished the
         Purchaser or made available at the website of the Securities and

         31, 2007 as filed with the SEC on June 1, 2007, and the Company's
         Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the period ended December 31, 2006 as
         filed with the SEC on April 17, 2007 (together, the "SEC Documents").

                  (f) SECURITIES MATTERS. Subject to the accuracy of the
         representations of the Purchaser set forth in Section 4.2 hereof, the
         offer, sale and issuance of the Note and the Shares as contemplated by
         this Agreement are exempt from the registration requirements of the
         Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Company
         has complied and will comply with all applicable state "blue sky" or
         securities laws in connection with the offer, sale and issuance of the
         Note and the Shares as contemplated by this Agreement.

                  4.2 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASER. The
Purchaser represents and warrants that as of the date of the execution of this
Agreement:

                  (a) AUTHORIZATION. This Agreement constitutes a valid and
         legally binding obligation of the Purchaser.

                  (b) INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS. (i) The Purchaser has received
         and reviewed the SEC Documents and the Purchaser or the Purchaser's
         designated representatives have concluded a satisfactory due diligence
         investigation of the Company and have had an opportunity to review the
         documents provided by the Company and to have all of their questions
         related thereto satisfactorily answered.

                           (ii) The Purchaser understands the fundamental risks
                  of the Note and the Shares; has determined that he/she/it can
                  reasonably benefit from the investment based upon net worth,
                  income, overall investment objectives and portfolio structure;
                  that the Purchaser's overall commitment to investments which
                  are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the
                  Purchaser's net worth, and that the Note and the Shares will

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

                  not cause such overall commitment to become excessive; and,
                  that the Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of the
                  Note and the Shares, including the loss of the entire value of
                  its investment. Additionally, the Purchaser understands that
                  that there are restrictions on the Purchaser's right to
                  liquidate the Note and the Shares.

                           (iii) The Purchaser has reviewed the Risk Factors
                  sections included in the SEC Documents, and understands the
                  Risk Factors describing the fact that the Company (a) has
                  substantial liabilities, (b) may not be able to obtain
                  sufficient funds to grow its business and the subsequent
                  financing may be on terms adverse to the Note and the Shares
                  and (c) is currently not profitable.

                           (iv) The Purchaser (or its members and/or officers)
                  has previously invested in unregistered securities and has
                  sufficient financial and investing expertise to evaluate and
                  understand the risks of the Note and the Shares.

                           (v) The Purchaser has received from the Company, and
                  is relying on, no representations or projections (except as
                  set forth in this Agreement or the SEC Documents) with respect
                  to the Company's business and prospects.

                           (vi) The Purchaser is an "accredited investor" within
                  the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

                           (vii) The Purchaser is acquiring the Note and the
                  Shares for investment purposes only without intent to
                  distribute the same, and acknowledges that the Note and the
                  Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and
                  applicable state securities laws, and accordingly, constitute
                  "restricted securities" for purposes of the Securities Act and
                  such state securities laws until such time as a registration
                  statement covering the Shares is declared effective by the SEC
                  and the states in which the registration statement is filed.

                           (viii) The Purchaser acknowledges that it will not be
                  able to transfer the Note and the Shares except upon
                  compliance with the registration requirements of the
                  Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or
                  exemptions therefrom.

                           (ix) The certificates and/or instruments evidencing
                  the Note and the Shares will contain a legend to the foregoing
                  effect until such time as a registration statement covering
                  the Shares is declared effective by the SEC.

         5. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

         5.1 PARTICIPATION IN REGISTERED OFFERINGS. If the Company proposes or
is required to register any of its shares or other equity securities for public
sale for cash under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") (other
than on Forms S-4 or S-8 or similar registration forms), it will at each such

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

time or times give written notice to the Purchaser of its intention to do so.
Upon the written request of the Purchaser given within twenty (20) days after
receipt of any such notice, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause to
be included in such registration any Shares held by the Purchaser requested to
be registered; provided, that if the managing underwriter advises that less than
all of the shares requested to be registered should be offered for sale so as
not materially and adversely to affect the price or salability of such offering
being registered by the Company, the Purchaser (but not the Company to the
extent it desires to include shares for its own account) shall reduce the number
of its Shares to be included in the registration statement as required by the
underwriter to the extent requisite of all prospective sellers of the securities
proposed to be registered (other than the Company) on a pro rata basis according
to the amounts of securities proposed to be registered by all prospective
sellers to permit the sale or other disposition (in accordance with the intended
method of disposition thereof as aforesaid) by the prospective seller or sellers
of the securities so registered. The registration requested pursuant to this
Section 5.1 is referred to herein as the "Piggyback Registration".

         5.2 OBLIGATIONS OF PURCHASER. It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligation of the Company to register any Shares pursuant to this Section 5 that
the Purchaser shall furnish to the Company such information regarding the Shares
held and the intended method of disposition thereof and other information
concerning the Purchaser as the Company shall reasonably request and as shall be
required in connection with the registration statement to be filed by the
Company. If after a registration statement becomes effective the Company advises
the Purchaser that the Company considers it appropriate to amend or supplement
the applicable registration statement, the Purchaser shall suspend further sales
of the Shares until the Company advises the Purchaser that such registration
statement has been amended or supplemented.

         5.3 If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of this
Section 5 to effect the registration of the Shares under the Securities Act, the
Company will:

                           Furnish to the Purchaser such reasonable number of
copies of the registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus
and such other documents as the Purchaser may reasonably request in order to
facilitate the sale of such shares;

                           Notify the Purchaser, promptly after it shall receive
notice thereof, of the time when such registration statement has become
effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration
statement has been filed;

                           Notify the Purchaser promptly of any request by the
Commission for the amending or supplementing of such registration statement or
prospectus or for additional information;

                           Prepare and promptly file with the Commission and
promptly notify the Purchaser of the filing of such amendment or supplement to
such registration statement or prospectus as may be necessary to correct any
statements or omissions if, at the time when a prospectus relating to such
securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event shall
have occurred as the result of which any such prospectus or any other prospectus

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

as then in effect would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; and

                           Advise the Purchaser, promptly after it shall receive
notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the
Commission suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the
initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and promptly use
its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its
withdrawal if such stop order should be issued.

                  5.4 With respect to a registration required pursuant to this
Section 5, all fees, costs and expenses of and incidental to such registration,
shall be borne by the Company, including all registration, filing, printing
expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants for the Company, and
all legal fees and disbursements and other expenses of complying with state
securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdictions in which the Shares to be
offered are to be registered and qualified. Fees and disbursements of counsel
and accountants for the participating Purchaser and any other expenses incurred
by the Purchaser shall be borne by the Company; PROVIDED that the fees and
disbursements of counsel to the Purchaser shall not exceed $5,000 in connection
with a registration required under this Section 5.

                  5.5 The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser
and any underwriter for such Purchaser from and against, and will reimburse such
Purchaser and each such underwriter with respect to, any and all loss, damage,
liability, cost and expense to which such Purchaser or any such underwriter may
become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
damages, liabilities, costs or expenses are caused by any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such registration
statement, any prospectus contained therein or any amendment or supplement
thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made,
not misleading; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company will not be liable in any
such case to the extent that any such loss, damage, liability, cost or expenses
arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished
by such Purchaser or such underwriter in writing for use in the preparation
thereof.

                  5.6 The Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, any successor entity of the Company, its directors and officers, any
controlling person and any underwriter from and against, and will reimburse the
Company, its directors and officers, any controlling person and any underwriter
with respect to, any and all loss, damage, liability, cost or expense to which
the Company or any controlling person and/or any underwriter may become subject
under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, damages,
liabilities, costs or expenses are caused by any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in such registration statement,
any prospectus contained therein or any amendment or supplement thereto, or
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

misleading, in each case to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was so made in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such
Purchaser for use in the preparation thereof. The maximum aggregate liability of
each Purchaser pursuant to its indemnification obligations under this Section 5
shall not exceed the portion of the Purchase Price paid by such Purchaser
hereunder.

                  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party pursuant to the
provisions of Sections 5.5 or 5.6 above of notice of the commencement of any
action involving the subject matter of the foregoing indemnity provisions such
indemnified party will, if a claim thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions of said Sections 5.5 or 5.6,
promptly notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the
omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any
liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than hereunder.
In case such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall
have the right to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party.

         6.       MISCELLANEOUS.

                  6.1 CONFIDENTIALITY. (a) The Purchaser agrees to keep
         confidential any and all non-public information delivered or made
         available to the Purchaser by the Company except for disclosures, as
         necessary, made by the Purchaser to the Purchaser's officers,
         directors, employees, agents, counsel and accountants each of whom
         shall be notified by the Purchaser of this confidentiality covenant and
         for whom the Purchaser shall be liable in the event of any breach of
         this covenant by any such individual or individuals; provided, however,
         that nothing herein shall prevent the Purchaser from disclosing such
         information (a) upon the order of any court or administrative agency,
         (b) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority
         having jurisdiction over the Purchaser, (c) which has been publicly
         disclosed or (d) to any of its members provided that any such members
         agree in writing (with a copy provided to the Company) to be bound by
         confidentiality provisions in form and substance substantially as are
         contained herein. In the event of a mandatory disclosure as described
         in clause (a) and/or (b) of the preceding sentence, the Purchaser shall
         promptly notify the Company in writing of any applicable order, request
         or demand for such information, cooperate with the Company if and to
         the extent that the Company elects to seek an appropriate protective
         order or other relief from such order, request, or demand, and disclose
         only the minimal amount of information ultimately required to be
         disclosed. The Purchaser shall not use for its own benefit, nor permit
         any other person to use for such person's benefit, any of the Company's
         non-public information including, without limitation, in connection
         with the purchase and/or sale of the Company's securities.

                  (b) The Company shall in no event disclose non-public
         information to the Purchaser, advisors to or representatives of the
         Purchaser unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

         marks such information as "Non-Public Information - Confidential" and
         provides the Purchaser, such advisors and representatives with the
         opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such non-public information
         for review. The Company may, as a condition to disclosing any
         non-public information hereunder, require the Purchaser's advisors and
         representatives to enter into a confidentiality agreement in form
         reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Purchaser.

                  (c) Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose
         non-public information to the Purchaser or its advisors or
         representatives, and the Company represents that it does not
         disseminate non-public information to any Purchasers who purchase stock
         in the Company in a public offering, to money managers or to securities
         analysts.

         6.2 LEGENDS. To the extent applicable, each note, certificate or other
document evidencing the Note to be purchased and sold pursuant to this Agreement
and any Shares issued shall be endorsed with the legends set forth below, and
the Purchaser on behalf of itself and each holder of the Note covenants that,
except to the extent such restrictions are waived by the Company, it shall not
transfer the Note or Shares without complying with the restrictions on transfer
described in the legends endorsed on such Note or certificate:

                  (a) The following legend under the Securities Act:

         6.11 SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or
invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent

provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

         6.12 MAXIMUM INTEREST. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the
intent of the Company and the Purchaser at all times to comply with the
applicable law governing the maximum rate of interest payable on or in
connection with all indebtedness and transactions hereunder (or applicable
United States federal law to the extent that it permits Purchaser to contract
for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest). If the
applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any
amount of money or other consideration called for hereunder, or contracted for,
charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to any loan or advance
hereunder, or if acceleration of the maturity of the Note results in the
Company's having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by law, then it
is the Company's and the Purchaser's express intent that all excess cash amounts
theretofore collected by Purchaser be credited on the principal balance of the

                                      -10-

Note (or if the Note has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to the
Company), and the provisions of this Agreement immediately be deemed reformed
and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder reduced, without the necessity
of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law,
but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for
hereunder. The right to accelerate maturity of the Note does not include the
right to accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of
such acceleration, and the Purchaser does not intend to collect any unearned
interest in the event of acceleration.
