         2.1 Purchase and Sale; Purchase Price.


                  (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Target Company shall issue and sell and Langley shall purchase an amount of the

<PAGE>

                  (b) The number of shares of Consideration Stock having a value
equal to Total Purchase Price shall be calculated by dividing the Total Purchase
Price by the average of the Closing Bid Price per share of Common Stock during

                  (c) The Total Purchase Price shall be paid by delivery to the

Shares") equal to the Total Purchase Price divided by the conversion rate of the
British Pound Sterling to purchase US Dollars determined below on the July 30,
2004. The Langley Shares shall have a value of (pound)1 per share. The number of
Langley Shares to be issued will be based on the conversion rate of the British
Pound Sterling to the US Dollar in effect as of the close of business on the day
preceding the closing of the transaction, as quoted by Coutts & Co. as the
commercial rate it gives to purchase US Dollars. For example, if the effective
conversion rate is $1.80/(pound) 1 and the Total Purchase Price, then the number
of Langley Shares the Target Company will receive shall equal the
$11,000,000/$1.80, or 6,111,111 Langley Shares. The Langley Consideration Shares
shall be subject to the "Downside Price Protection" provided in Section 2 of the

Agent a certificate in the name of Langley representing shares of Consideration
Stock;

                  (ii) the Target Company shall execute and deliver to Langley a

Company and the material Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business and is in
good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the nature
of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification
necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as

adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, prospects, or financial
condition of the Target Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a

hereby and thereby has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part
of the Target Company. Each of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction
Documents has been or will be duly executed by the Target Company and when

of, creditors' rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general
application.

                  (c) Capitalization. The authorized, issued and outstanding
capital stock of the Company is set forth on SCHEDULE 3.1(C). No shares of

commitments, understandings, or arrangements by which the Target Company or any
Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock, or
securities or rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock.
Neither the Target Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation of any of the
provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws or other charter
documents.

                  (d) Issuance of Securities. The shares of Consideration Stock
have been duly and validly authorized for issuance, offer and sale pursuant to
this Agreement and, when issued and delivered as provided hereunder against
payment in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be valid and binding
obligations of the Target Company enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms.

                  (e) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by the Target Company and the
consummation by the Target Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of its
Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws (each as amended through the date hereof)
or (ii) be subject to obtaining any consents except those referred to in Section
3.1(f), 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 material
agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Target Company is a party, or
(iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment,
injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority
to which the Target Company or its Subsidiaries is subject (including, but not
limited to, those of other countries and the federal and state securities laws
and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Target Company or its
Subsidiaries is bound or affected, except in the case of clause (ii), such
conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and
violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect. To the best of its knowledge, the business of the Target Company
and its Subsidiaries is not being conducted in violation of any law, ordinance
or regulation of any governmental authority.

"Required Approvals").

                  (g) Litigation; Proceedings. Except as specifically disclosed

threatened against or affecting the Target Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
any of their respective properties before or by any court, governmental or

enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents or the shares of

governmental authority which could (individually or in the aggregate) (a)
adversely affect the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, (b)
have a Material Adverse Effect or (c) adversely impair the Target Company's
ability or obligation to perform fully on a timely basis its obligations under
this Agreement in any material way.

                  (i) Disclosure Documents. The Disclosure Documents are

any Person acting on its behalf has taken or will take any action (including,

circumstances which would require the integration of such offering with the
offering of the Securities under the Securities Act) which might subject the
offering, issuance or sale of the Securities to the registration requirements of

dated June 17, 2004, no representations or warranties have been made to the
Target Company by Langley or any agent, employee or affiliate of Langley and in
entering into this transaction the Target Company is not relying upon any
information, other than the results of independent investigation by the Target
Company.

Langley acknowledges and agrees that the Target Company makes no representation
or warranty with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than
those specifically set forth in Section 3.1 hereof.

         3.2 Representations and Warranties of Langley. Langley hereby
represents and warrants to the Target Company as follows:

                  (a) Organization; Authority. Langley is a corporation, duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its formation with the requisite power and authority to enter
into and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other
Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and
thereunder. The acquisition of the shares of Consideration Stock to be purchased
by Langley hereunder has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the
part of Langley. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Langley
and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Langley, enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors
rights and remedies or by other general principles of equity. Langley is duly
qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in
each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property
owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be
so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not, individually or
in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (b) Investment Intent. Langley is acquiring the shares of
Consideration Stock to be purchased by it hereunder, for its own account for
investment purposes only and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling
such shares of Consideration Stock, or any part thereof or interest therein,
without prejudice, however, to Langley's right, subject to the provisions of
this Agreement, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of
such shares of Consideration Stock in compliance with applicable federal and
state securities laws.

                  (c) Experience of Langley. Langley, either alone or together
with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in
business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of an investment in the shares of Consideration Stock to be acquired by it
hereunder, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.

                  (d) Ability of Langley to Bear Risk of Investment. Langley is
able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities to be acquired
by it hereunder and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of
such investment.

                  (e) Access to Information. Langley acknowledges that it has
been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed
necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Target Company
concerning the terms and conditions of the Securities offered hereunder and the
merits and risks of investing in such securities; (ii) access to information
about the Target Company and the Target Company's financial condition, results
of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to
enable it to evaluate its investment in the Securities; and (iii) the
opportunity to obtain such additional information which the Target Company
possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is
necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment
and to verify the accuracy and completeness of the information that it has
received about the Target Company.

<PAGE>

                  (f) Reliance. Langley understands and acknowledges that (i)
the shares of Consideration Stock being offered and sold to it hereunder are
being offered and sold without registration under the Securities Act in a
private placement that is exempt from the registration provisions of the
Securities Act under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and (ii) the
availability of such exemption depends in part on, and that the Target Company
will rely upon the accuracy and truthfulness of, the foregoing representations
and Langley hereby consents to such reliance.

                  (g) Regulation S. Langley understand and acknowledge that (A)
the shares of Consideration Stock have not been registered under the Securities
Act, are being sold in reliance upon an exemption from registration afforded by
Regulation S; and that such shares of Consideration Stock have not been
registered with any state securities commission or authority; (B) pursuant to
the requirements of Regulation S, the shares of Consideration Stock may not be
transferred, sold or otherwise exchanged unless in compliance with the
provisions of Regulation S and/or pursuant to registration under the Securities
Act, or pursuant to an available exemption hereunder; and (C) Langley is under
no obligation to register the shares of Consideration Stock under the Securities
Act or any state securities law, or to take any action to make any exemption
from any such registration provisions available.

         Langley is not a U.S. person and is not acquiring the shares of
Consideration Stock for the account of any U.S. person; (B) no director or
executive officer of Langley is a national or citizen of the United States; and
(C) it is not otherwise deemed to be a "U.S. Person" within the meaning of
Regulation S.

         Langley was not formed specifically for the purpose of acquiring the
shares of Consideration Stock purchased pursuant to this Agreement.

         Langley is purchasing the shares of Consideration Stock for its own
account and risk and not for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person as defined
in Regulation S and no other person has any interest in or participation in the
shares of Consideration Stock or any right, option, security interest, pledge or
other interest in or to the shares of Consideration Stock. Langley understands,
acknowledges and agrees that it must bear the economic risk of its investment in
the shares of Consideration Stock for an indefinite period of time and that
prior to any such offer or sale, the Target Company may require, as a condition
to effecting a transfer of the shares of Consideration Stock, an opinion of
counsel, acceptable to the Target Company, as to the registration or exemption
therefrom under the Securities Act and any state securities acts, if applicable.

         Langley will, after the expiration of the Restricted Period, as set
forth under Regulation S Rule 903(b)(3)(iii)(A), offer, sell, pledge or
otherwise transfer the shares of Consideration Stock only in accordance with
Regulation S, or pursuant to an available exemption under the Securities Act
and, in any case, in accordance with applicable state securities laws. The
transactions contemplated by this Agreement have neither been pre-arranged with
a purchaser who is in the U.S. or who is a U.S. Person, nor are they part of a
plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the United States federal
securities laws.

         The offer leading to the sale evidenced hereby was made in an "offshore
transaction." For purposes of Regulation S, Langley understands that an
"offshore transaction" as defined under Regulation S is any offer or sale not
made to a person in the United States and either (A) at the time the buy order
is originated, the purchaser is outside the United States, or the seller or any
person acting on his behalf reasonably believes that the purchaser is outside
the United States; or (B) for purposes of (1) Rule 903 of Regulation S, the
transaction is executed in, or on or through a physical trading floor of an
established foreign exchange that is located outside the United States or (2)
Rule 904 of Regulation S, the transaction is executed in, on or through the
facilities of a designated offshore securities market, and neither the seller
nor any person acting on its behalf knows that the transaction has been
prearranged with a buyer in the U.S.

         Neither Langley nor any affiliate or any person acting on Langley's
behalf, has made or is aware of any "directed selling efforts" in the United
States, which is defined in Regulation S to be any activity undertaken for the
purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of,
conditioning the market in the United States for any of the shares of
Consideration Stock being purchased hereby.

         Langley understands that the Target Company is the seller of the shares
of Consideration Stock which are the subject of this Agreement, and that, for
purpose of Regulation S, a "distributor" is any underwriter, dealer or other
person who participates, pursuant to a contractual arrangement, in the
distribution of securities offered or sold in reliance on Regulation S and that

                                       8
<PAGE>

an "affiliate" is any partner, officer, director or any person directly or
indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with any person in
question. Langley agrees that Langley will not, during the Restricted Period set
forth under Rule 903(b)(iii)(A), act as a distributor, either directly or though
any affiliate, nor shall it sell, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey the
shares of Consideration Stock other than to a non-U.S. Person.

         Langley acknowledges that the shares of Consideration Stock will bear a
legend in substantially the following form:


THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN OFFERED AND SOLD IN AN
"OFFSHORE TRANSACTION" IN RELIANCE UPON REGULATION S AS PROMULGATED BY THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. ACCORDINGLY, THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY
THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE
"SECURITIES ACT") AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OTHER THAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH
REGULATION S, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR PURSUANT TO
AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, THE
AVAILABILITY OF WHICH IS TO BE ESTABLISHED TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE COMPANY.
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE CANNOT BE THE SUBJECT OF HEDGING
TRANSACTIONS UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTIONS ARE CONDUCTED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE
SECURITIES ACT.

                  (h) Issuance of Langley Consideration Shares. The shares of
Langley Consideration Shares have been duly and validly authorized for issuance,
offer and sale pursuant to this Agreement and, when issued and delivered as
provided hereunder against payment in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be
valid and binding obligations of Langley enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms.

                  (i) Consents and Approvals. Except for the admission for
listing on the London Stock Exchange, Langley is not required to obtain any
consent, waiver, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration
with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority
or other Person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by
Langley of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents.

The Target Company acknowledges and agrees that Langley makes no representations
or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than
those specifically set forth in this Section 3.2.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                         OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

         4.1 Manner of Offering. The Securities are being issued pursuant to
section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation S thereunder. The Langley
Consideration Shares are being issued pursuant to section 4(2) of the Securities
Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder.

         4.2 Notice of Certain Events. The Target Company shall, on a continuing
basis, when disclosed by way of public announcement or filing with the SEC (i)
advise Langley promptly after obtaining knowledge of, and, if requested by
Langley, confirm such advice in writing, of (A) the issuance by any state
securities commission of any stop order suspending the qualification or
exemption from qualification of the shares of Consideration Stock, for offering
or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for such
purpose by any state securities commission or other regulatory authority, or (B)
any event that makes any statement of a material fact made by the Target Company
in Section 3.1 or in the Disclosure Documents untrue or that requires the making


                                       9
<PAGE>

of any additions to or changes in Section 3.1 or in the Disclosure Documents in
order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they are made, not misleading, (ii) use its best efforts to prevent the
issuance of any stop order or order suspending the qualification or exemption
from qualification of the Securities under any state securities or Blue Sky
laws, and (iii) if at any time any state securities commission or other
regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification or
exemption from qualification of the Securities under any such laws, and use its
best efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest
possible time.

         4.3 Blue Sky Laws. The Target Company agrees that it will execute all
necessary documents and pay all necessary state filing or notice fees to enable
the Target Company to sell the Securities to Langley.

         4.4 Integration. The Target Company shall not and shall use its best
efforts to ensure that no Affiliate shall sell, offer for sale or solicit offers
to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section
2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the
Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities
Act of the sale of the Securities to Langley.

         4.5 Furnishing of Rule 144(c) Materials. The Target Company shall, for
so long as any of the Securities remain outstanding and during any period in
which the Target Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act, make available to any registered holder of the Securities ("Holder" or
"Holders") in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of
such Securities from such Person, such information in accordance with Rule
144(c) promulgated under the Securities Act as is required to sell the
Securities under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

         4.6 Solicitation Materials. The Target Company shall not (i) distribute
any offering materials in connection with the offering and sale of the shares of
Consideration Stock other than the Disclosure Documents and any amendments and
supplements thereto prepared in compliance herewith or (ii) solicit any offer to
buy or sell the shares of Consideration Stock by means of any form of general
solicitation or advertising.

         4.7 Listing of Common Stock. If the Common Stock is or shall become
listed on the OTCBB or on another exchange, the Target Company shall (a) use its
best efforts to maintain the listing of its Common Stock on the OTCBB or such
other exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed until two years from the
date hereof, and (b) shall provide to Langley evidence of such listing.

         4.8 Indemnification.

                  (a) Indemnification.

                  (i) The Target Company shall, notwithstanding termination of
this Agreement and without limitation as to time, indemnify and hold harmless
Langley and its officers, directors, agents, employees and affiliates, each
Person who controls or Langley (within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each such Person, a "Control
Person") and the officers, directors, agents, employees and affiliates of each
such Control Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including,
without limitation, costs of preparation and attorneys' fees) and expenses
(collectively, "Losses"), as incurred, arising out of, or relating to, a breach
or breaches of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by the Target
Company under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

                  (ii) Langley shall, notwithstanding termination of this
Agreement and without limitation as to time, indemnify and hold harmless the
Target Company, its officers, directors, agents and employees, each Control
Person and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each Control Person,
to the fullest extent permitted by application law, from and against any and all
Losses, as incurred, arising out of, or relating to, a breach or breaches of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by Langley under this Agreement
or the other Transaction Documents, except for Losses solely arising out of
negligence, bad faith or breach of this Agreement by the Target Company.

                                       10
<PAGE>

                  (iii) The Target Company and Langley acknowledge that in the
SEC's opinion, directors, officers and persons controlling a company subject to
the Securities Act can not be indemnified for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act by such company.

                  (b) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding
shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder
(an "Indemnified Party"), such Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the
Person from whom indemnity is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") in writing, and
the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the
employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the
payment of all reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense
thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice
shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities
pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is
not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have
proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

                  An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to
pay such fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed
promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3)
the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties)
include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such
Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest
is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party
and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies
the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at
the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the
right to assume the defense of the claim against the Indemnified Party but will
retain the right to control the overall Proceedings out of which the claim arose
and such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of
the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without
the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any
pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless
such settlement encompasses solely monetary payment and includes an
unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims
that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

                  All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party to which the
Indemnified Party is entitled hereunder (including reasonable fees and expenses
to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend
such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to
the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Business Days of written
notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party with supporting documentation.

                  No right of indemnification under this Section shall be
available as to a particular Indemnified Party if the Indemnifying Party obtains
a non-appealable final judicial determination that such Losses arise solely out
of the negligence or bad faith of such Indemnified Party in performing the
obligations of such Indemnified Party under this Agreement or a breach by such
Indemnified Party of its obligations under this Agreement.

                  (c) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under this
Section is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such
Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses in respect of which this Section would
apply by its terms (other than by reason of exceptions provided in this
Section), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified
Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party
as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and the
Indemnified Party on the other and the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party


                                       11
<PAGE>

and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions or omissions that resulted
in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether there was a judicial
determination that such Losses arise in part out of the negligence or bad faith
of the Indemnified Party in performing the obligations of such Indemnified Party
under this Agreement or the Indemnified Party's breach of its obligations under
this Agreement. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses
shall be deemed to include any attorneys' or other fees or expenses incurred by
such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have
been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for
in this Section was available to such party.

                  (d) Non-Exclusivity. The indemnity and contribution agreements
contained in this Section are in addition to any obligation or liability that
the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

         4.9 Sale of Langley Consideration Shares. Langley shall assist
the Target Company in setting up and maintaining a trading account at a
registered broker in the United Kingdom to facilitate the sale of the Langley
Consideration Shares. Broker's commissions in the trading account shall not
exceed one half percent (0.5%).

         4.10 Lock Up by Langley. Langley shall not sell, transfer or
assign all or any of the shares of Consideration Stock for a period of two (2)
years following the Closing, without the written consent of the Target Company,
which consent may be withheld in the Target Company's sole discretion.

                                   ARTICLE V

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         5.1 Fees and Expenses. Except as set forth in this Agreement, each
party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and
other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to
the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement. The Target Company shall pay all stamp and other taxes and duties
levied in connection with the issuance of the shares of Consideration Stock
pursuant hereto. Langley shall be responsible for any taxes payable by Langley
that may arise as a result of the investment hereunder or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The Target
Company has paid a total of $5,000 to Langley's counsel for legal fees
associated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at Closing and
for acting as Escrow Agent. Langley agrees to pay any other fees and expenses of
such counsel in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at Closing and
for acting as Escrow Agent. The Target Company shall pay all costs, expenses,
fees and all taxes incident to and in connection with: (A) the issuance and
delivery of the Securities, (B) the exemption from registration of the
Securities for offer and sale to Langley under the securities or Blue Sky laws
of the applicable jurisdictions, and (C) the preparation of certificates for the
Securities (including, without limitation, printing and engraving thereof), and
(D) all fees and expenses of counsel and accountants of the Target Company.

         5.2 Entire Agreement This Agreement, together with all of the Exhibits
annexed hereto, and any other Transaction Document contains the entire
understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect
to such matters. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been drafted and
negotiated by both parties hereto and no presumptions as to interpretation,
construction or enforceability shall be made by or against either party in such
regard.

         5.3 Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to

Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of
any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or
omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair
the exercise of any such right accruing to it thereafter.

Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and
enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not

                                    EXHIBIT A

                                ESCROW AGREEMENT


         ESCROW AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of July 19, 2004, by and
between Avenue Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of
business at 17547 Ventura Boulevard, Suite 305, Encino, California 91316 (the
"Target Company"); Gottbetter & Partners, LLP with its principal place of
business at 488 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10022 (the "Escrow Agent"); and
Langley Park Investments Plc, a corporation organized under the laws of England
and Wales with its offices at 30 Farringdon Street, London EC4A 4HJ ("Langley").

                                    RECITALS

                  A. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement,
Langley and the Target Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the
"Stock Purchase Agreement"), dated as of the date hereof and incorporated herein
by reference, pursuant to which the Target Company has agreed to issue and
Langley has agreed that the Langley Consideration Shares shall be deposited into
escrow pursuant to this Agreement, including fifty percent (50%) of the Langley
Consideration Shares to be deposited into escrow as Downside Price Protection
(the "Langley Escrow Shares").

                  B. The Escrow Agent is willing to act as escrow agent pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement with respect to the purchase of the shares of
Consideration Stock.

                  C. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall
have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:

                  1. DEPOSIT INTO ESCROW. At Closing, the Target Company shall
(i) deposit the Langley Consideration Shares with the Escrow Agent, (ii) deliver
blank stock powers (the "Stock Powers") for the Langley Escrow Shares to the
Escrow Agent and (iii) deposit the Consideration Stock with the Escrow Agent.
The Escrow Agent shall hold the Langley Consideration Shares, the Consideration
Stock and the Stock Powers in escrow when delivered.

                  2. TERMS OF ESCROW. (a) If the Market Value of the Common
Stock two years after Closing is less than the Closing Price, the Target Company
shall sell to Langley the number of Langley Escrow Shares (the "Langley
Protection Shares") equal to (a) the Langley Consideration Shares multiplied by
(b) the Percentage Decrease, at a purchase price of 1p per Langley Consideration
Share (the "Escrow Purchase Price"). The "Percentage Decrease" shall be equal to
1 - Market Value/the Closing Price. "Market Value" shall be the average of the
ten (10) closing bid prices per share of the Common Stock during the ten (10)
trading days immediately preceding the two year anniversary of the Closing. For
the purposes hereof Market Value shall take into account the effect of any stock
splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations or similar events
occurring at the Target Company during the two year period following the Closing
pursuant to which the number of Langley Protection shares were appropriately
adjusted or in lieu thereof other appropriate distributions were received from
the Company into Escrow at the time of such event.

          Within three (3) Business Days of the two year anniversary of the
Closing, Langley shall (i) send a notice ("Sale Notice") to the Target Company
and the Escrow Agent of the Langley Protection Shares to be sold by the Target
Company to Langley, if any, and (ii) deposit the Escrow Purchase Price with the
Escrow Agent, if necessary. Within fourteen (14) Business Days of the Target
Company's and the Escrow Agent's receipt of the Sale Notice and Escrow Agent's
receipt of the Escrow Purchase Price, the Escrow Agent is authorized and
directed (i) to pay the Escrow Purchase Price to the Target Company, if any,
(ii) to deliver the Langley Protection Shares, if any, and the Stock Powers to
Langley, (iii) to deliver the remaining Langley Escrow Shares, if any, to the
Target Company, and (iv) to deliver the Stock Powers to the Target Company if
the total number of Langley Protection Shares is zero.

                                      A-1
<PAGE>

                  (b) If at any time before September 30, 2004, the Langley
Consideration Shares are admitted for trading on the London Stock Exchange plc
(the "London Exchange"), the Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to
distribute, within fourteen (14) Business Days of such admittance, (i) the
Consideration Stock to Langley and (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the Langley
Consideration Shares to the Target Company. If the Langley Consideration Shares
are not admitted for trading on the London Exchange by September 30, 2004, the
Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to distribute, no later than October 5,
2004, (i) the Consideration Stock to the Target Company and (ii) the Langley
Consideration Shares to Langley.

         3. DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE ESCROW AGENT.

                  (a) The parties hereto agree that the duties and obligations
of the Escrow Agent shall be only those obligations herein specifically provided
and no other. The Escrow Agent's duties are those of a depositary only, and the
Escrow Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever, except as a direct result of
its willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of its duties
hereunder;

                  (b) The Escrow Agent may consult with counsel of its choice,
and shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by
it in accordance with the advice of such counsel;

                  (c) The Escrow Agent shall not be bound in any way by the
terms of any other agreement to which Langley and the Target Company are
parties, whether or not the Escrow Agent has knowledge thereof, and the Escrow
Agent shall not in any way be required to determine whether or not any other
agreement has been complied with by Langley and the Target Company, or any other
party thereto. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any modification,
amendment, termination, cancellation, rescission or supersession of this
Agreement unless the same shall be in writing and signed jointly by Langley and
the Target Company and agreed to in writing by the Escrow Agent;

                  (d) If the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or
rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands which, in its
opinion, are in conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the
Escrow Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action other than
keeping safely the Consideration (as defined below) or taking certain action
until the Escrow Agent is directed otherwise in writing jointly by Langley and
the Target Company or by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction;

                  (e) The Escrow Agent shall be fully protected in relying upon
any written notice, demand, certificate or document which the Escrow Agent, in
good faith, believes to be genuine. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible
for the sufficiency or accuracy of the form, execution, validity or genuineness
of documents or securities now or hereafter deposited hereunder or of any
endorsement thereon, or for any lack of endorsement thereon, or for any
description therein; nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible or liable in any
respect on account of the identity, authority or rights of the persons executing
or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any such document, security or
endorsement;

                  (f) The Escrow Agent shall not be required to institute legal
proceedings of any kind and shall not be required to defend any legal
proceedings which may be instituted against it or in respect of the
Consideration;

                  (g) If the Escrow Agent at any time, in its sole discretion,
deems it necessary or advisable to relinquish custody of any of the Securities
(to the extent delivered to the Escrow Agent pursuant hereto, the
"Consideration"), it may do so by delivering the same to another Person that
agrees to act as escrow agent hereunder and whose substitution for the Escrow
Agent is agreed upon in writing by Langley and the Target Company; provided,
however, that such successor Escrow Agent must be resident in the United States.
If no such escrow agent is selected within three (3) days after the Escrow Agent
gives notice to Langley and the Target Company of the Escrow Agent's desire to
so relinquish custody of the Consideration and resign as Escrow Agent, then the
Escrow Agent may do so by delivering the Consideration to the clerk or other
proper officer of a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction situate in
the state and county of New York. The fee of any court officer shall be borne by


                                      A-2
<PAGE>

the Target Company. Upon such delivery, the Escrow Agent shall be discharged
from any and all responsibility or liability with respect to the Consideration
and this Agreement and each of the Target Company and Langley shall promptly pay
all monies it may owe to the Escrow Agent for its services hereunder, including,
but not limited to, reimbursement of its out-of-pocket expenses pursuant to
paragraph (i) below;

                  (h) This Agreement shall not create any fiduciary duty on the
Escrow Agent's part to Langley or the Target Company, nor disqualify the Escrow
Agent from representing either party hereto in any dispute with the other,
including any dispute with respect to the Purchase Agreement or Debenture;
provided, however, that in the event of such dispute, the Escrow Agent shall
have the right to commence an interpleader action in any court of competent
jurisdiction of the state of New York or of the United States located in the
county and state of New York, deposit the Consideration with such court;

                  (i) The parties acknowledge and agree that the Escrow Agent is
counsel to Langley. The parties agree to, and agree not to object to, the Escrow
Agent's engagement as Escrow Agent hereunder;

                  (j) Upon the full performance of this Agreement, the Escrow
Agent shall be deemed released and discharged of any further obligations
hereunder.

         4. INDEMNIFICATION.

                  (a) Langley hereby indemnifies and holds free and harmless the
Escrow Agent from any and all losses, expenses, liabilities and damages
(including but not limited to reasonable attorney's fees, and amounts paid in
settlement) resulting from claims asserted by the Target Company against the
Escrow Agent with respect to the performance of any of the provisions of this
Agreement;

                  (b) The Target Company hereby indemnifies and holds free and
harmless the Escrow Agent from any and all losses, expenses, liabilities and
damages (including but not limited to reasonable attorney's fees, and amount
paid in settlement) resulting from claims asserted by Langley against the Escrow
Agent with respect to the performance of any of the provisions of this
Agreement;

                  (c) Langley and the Target Company, jointly and severally,
hereby indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against any and all
losses, damages, taxes, liabilities and expenses that may be incurred by the
Escrow Agent, arising out of or in connection with its acceptance of appointment
as the Escrow Agent hereunder and/or the performance of its duties pursuant to
this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the Securities, including, but not
limited to, all legal costs and expenses of the Escrow Agent incurred defending
itself against any claim or liability in connection with its performance
hereunder, provided that the Escrow Agent shall not be entitled to any indemnity
for any losses, damages, taxes, liabilities or expenses that directly result
from its willful misconduct or gross negligence in its performance as Escrow
Agent hereunder

                  (d) In the event of any legal action or proceeding involving
any of the parties to this Agreement which is brought to enforce or otherwise
adjudicate any of the rights or obligations of the parties hereunder, the
non-prevailing party or parties shall pay the legal fees of the prevailing party
or parties and the legal fees, if any, of the Escrow Agent.

                                Board Resolutions


                  STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND LANGLEY PARK
                  INVESTMENTS PLC

                  WHEREAS, Langley Park Investments PLC, a newly formed
                  corporation organized under the laws of England and Wales
                  ("Langley"), is being established to hold as its assets shares
                  of publicly traded NASD over-the-counter Bulletin Board
                  companies in the United States (the "Target Companies");

                  WHEREAS, at such time as Langley has acquired a sufficient
                  amount of the shares of the Target Companies to meet the
                  requirements for listing on the London Stock Exchange, Langley
                  intends to list its ordinary shares on the London Stock
                  Exchange, which listing Langley anticipates will occur no
                  later than September 30, 2004 (the "Listing");

                  WHEREAS, Langley anticipates that one of the Target Companies
                  will be the Company, and in connection therewith, Langley and
                  the Company have negotiated a stock purchase agreement, the
                  current form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
                  "Stock Purchase Agreement"), which contemplates the exchange
                  of Langley Consideration Shares (as defined below) for US$11
                  million (the "Total Purchase Price") of the Company's common
                  stock valued as set forth below (the "Consideration Stock");

                  WHEREAS, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the number
                  of shares of Consideration Stock valued at the Total Purchase
                  Price shall be determined by dividing the Total Purchase Price
                  by the average of the Closing Bid Price per share of the
                  Company's common stock during the 10 trading days immediately
                  preceding July 30, 2004, and the Total Purchase Price shall be
                  paid by delivery to the Company of the number of ordinary
                  Langley shares valued at 1 British Pound Sterling equal to the
                  Total Purchase Price divided by the conversion rate of the
                  British Pound Sterling to purchase US Dollars as determined on
                  July 30, 2004 (the "Langley Consideration Shares");

                  WHEREAS, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Langley has
                  agreed that it will not transfer, sell or assign any of the
                  Consideration Stock for a period of two years from the closing
                  date of the transaction without the written consent of the
                  Company;

                  WHEREAS, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the closing
                  shall occur at such time on or after July 31, 2004 as the
                  Listing has occurred and the other conditions of closing set
                  forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement are satisfied, and if
                  the closing has not occurred on or before September 30, 2004,
                  the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement
                  shall terminate and the Consideration Stock shall be returned
                  to the Company;

                  WHEREAS, pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the current form of
                  which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, at the Closing, fifty
                  percent (50%) of the Langley Consideration Shares will be
                  released to the Company, fifty percent (50%) of the Langley
                  Consideration Shares continue to be held in Escrow (the
                  "Langley Protection Shares") and all of the Consideration
                  Stock will be released to Langley;

                  WHEREAS, pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, at the Closing, in
                  the event that two years from the closing date, the value of
                  the Consideration Stock is less than Total Purchase Price, a
                  portion or all of the Langley Protection Shares held in Escrow
                  shall be returned to Langley with the remaining Langley
                  Protection Shares then held in Escrow released to the Company;

                  the Stock Purchase Agreement shall terminate and the
                  Consideration Stock shall be returned to the Company;

                  the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Board has been presented
                  with and reviewed forms of the Transaction Documents, as such
