    Recitals

    

    WHEREAS,
      Senticore wishes to acquire all the issued and outstanding stock of IHT in
      an
      exchange for shares of convertible preferred stock of Senticore in a transaction
      intended to qualify as a tax-free exchange pursuant to section 368(a)(1)(B)
      of
      the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 

     

    WHEREAS,
      Senticore, IHT and the IHT Stockholders intend to enter into a transaction
      pursuant to which the holders of the outstanding shares of common stock of
      Senticore and the IHT Stockholders will together become shareholders in
      Senticore, and they intend that all shareholders shall be provided with an
      equity participation in Senticore which is the equivalent of the dollar value
      of
      their equity interests on the date of closing. The calculation of such dollar
      value excludes any compensation to them for dilution resulting from the
      transaction. No additional compensation or additional common shares of Senticore
      shall be provided to any board members, officers or any group of shareholders
      of
      Senticore pursuant to the contemplated transactions, other than calculated
      value
      of their shares at closing. 

    

    WHEREAS,
      in furtherance thereof, the respective Boards of Directors of Senticore and
      IHT,
      as well as the IHT Stockholders, have approved the exchange, upon the terms
      and
      subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, pursuant to which all
      of
      the 78,188,548 shares of common stock, $.0001 par value, of IHT (the "IHT Common
      Stock") issued and outstanding prior to the exchange, will be exchanged in
      the
      aggregate for 20,000,000 shares of convertible preferred stock, $.001 par value,
      of Senticore, each share having the right to convert into 400 shares of common
      stock, $.001 par value, of Senticore ("Senticore Common Stock"), and the right
      to vote on an as converted basis with each share of Senticore Common Stock
      (the
“Convertible Preferred Stock”) to be issued by Senticore to the IHT
      Stockholders.

    

    WHEREAS,
      neither party is seeking tax counsel or legal or accounting opinions on whether
      the transaction qualifies for tax free treatment.

    

    Agreement

    

    Based
      on
      the stated premises, which are incorporated herein by reference, and for and

      Stock shall be authorized by the Board of Directors of Senticore, in the form
      set forth as Exhibit A hereto, and shall be filed with the Secretary of State
      of
      the State of Delaware. All shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued
      and delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to
      take
      into account any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split,
      recapitalization, or similar change in the Senticore Common Stock which may
      occur between the date of the execution of this Agreement and the Closing Date.

      corporation.

    

    1.04
      Further Assurances. At the Closing and from time to time thereafter, the IHT
      Stockholders shall execute such additional instruments and take such other
      action as Senticore may reasonably request, without undue cost to the IHT
      Stockholders in order to more effectively sell, transfer, and assign clear
      title
      and ownership in the IHT Shares to Senticore. 

    

    1.05

    REPRESENTATIONS,
      COVENANTS AND WARRANTIES OF SENTICORE, ETC.

    

    As
      an
      inducement to, and to obtain the reliance of IHT, Senticore and Jay Patel,
      jointly and severally, represent, promise and warrant as follows:

    

    2.01 Organization.

    Senticore
      is, and will be at Closing, a corporation duly organized, validly existing,
      and
      in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the corporate
      power and is and will be duly authorized, qualified, franchised, and licensed
      under all applicable laws, regulations, ordinances, and orders of public
      authorities to own all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business
      in all material respects as it is now being conducted, and there are no other
      jurisdictions in which it is not so qualified in which the character and
      location of the assets owned by it or the nature of the material business
      transacted by it requires qualification, except where failure to do so would
      not
      have a material adverse effect on its business, operations, properties, assets
      or condition. The execution and delivery of this Agreement does not, and the
      consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance
      with the terms hereof will not, violate any provision of Senticore’s Articles of
      Incorporation or Bylaws, or other agreement to which it is a party or by which
      it is bound.

    

    2.02 Approval
      of Agreement.

    Senticore
      has full power, authority, and legal right and has taken, or will take, all
      action required by law, its Articles of Incorporation, 

    Bylaws,
      and otherwise to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the
      transactions herein contemplated. The board of directors of Senticore has
      authorized and approved the execution, delivery, and performance of this
      Agreement. Senticore shareholders will not have dissenters rights with respect
      to any of the transactions contemplated herein.

    

    2.03 Capitalization.

    The
      authorized capitalization of Senticore consists of 200,000,000 shares of common
      stock, $0.001 par value, of which 181,145,154 shares are issued and outstanding
      prior to issuance of shares as set forth in Article I of this Agreement. There
      are 20,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value, and no
      shares of preferred stock are issued and outstanding, except for the 20,000,000
      shares of Convertible Preferred Stock which are to be issued pursuant to Article
      I of this Agreement. There
      are, and at the Closing, there will be no outstanding subscriptions, options,
      warrants, convertible securities, calls, rights, commitments or agreements
      calling for or requiring issuance or transfer, sale or other disposition of
      any
      shares of capital stock of the Company or calling for or requiring the issuance
      of any securities or rights convertible into or exchangeable (including on
      a
      contingent basis) for shares of capital stock. All of the outstanding shares
      of
      Senticore are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
      and
      not
      issued in violation of the preemptive or other right of any person.
      There
      are no dividends due, to be paid or in arrears with respect to any of the
      capital stock of Company.

    2.04 Financial
      Statements.

    (i)
      Included in Schedule 2.04 are the audited balance sheet of Senticore as of
      December 31, 2005, and the related statements of operations, stockholders'
      equity (deficit), and cash flows for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005,
      including the notes thereto (collectively the “Financial Statements”) and the
      accompanying auditor’s report and representations by the Chief Financial Officer
      of Senticore to the effect that such financial statements contain all
      adjustments (all of which are normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present
      fairly the results of operations and financial position for the periods and
      as
      of the dates indicated.

    

    (ii)
      The
      financial statements of Senticore delivered pursuant to Section 2.04(i) have
      been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
      consistently applied throughout the periods involved as explained in the notes
      to such financial statements. The Senticore financial statements present fairly,
      in all material respects, as of the closing date, the financial position of
      Senticore. Senticore will not have, as of the Closing Date, any liabilities,
      obligations or claims against it (absolute or contingent) in
      excess
      of $5,000, and all assets reflected therein present fairly the assets of
      Senticore in accordance with generally accepted accounting
      principles.

    

    (iii)
      Senticore has filed or will file as the Closing Date its tax returns required
      to
      be filed for its two most recent fiscal years and will pay all taxes due
      thereon. All such returns and reports are accurate and correct in all material
      respects. Senticore has no liabilities with respect to the payment of any
      federal, state, county, local, or other taxes (including any deficiencies,
      interest, or penalties) accrued for or applicable to the period ended on the
      closing date and all such dates and years and periods prior thereto and for
      which Senticore may at said date have been liable in its own right or as
      transferee of the assets of, or as successor to, any other corporation or
      entity, except for taxes accrued but not yet due and payable, and to the best
      knowledge of Senticore, no deficiency assessment or proposed adjustment of
      any
      such tax return is pending, proposed or contemplated. None of such income tax
      returns has been examined or is currently being examined by the Internal Revenue
      Service and no deficiency assessment or proposed adjustment of any such return
      is pending, proposed or contemplated. Senticore has not made any election
      pursuant to the provisions of any applicable tax laws (other than elections
      that
      relate solely to methods of accounting, depreciation, or amortization) that
      would have a material adverse affect on Senticore, its financial condition,
      its
      business as presently conducted or proposed to be conducted, or any of its
      respective properties or material assets. There are no outstanding agreements
      or
      waivers extending the statutory period of limitation applicable to any tax
      return of Senticore.

    REPRESENTATIONS,
      COVENANTS, WARRANTIES OF IHT, ETC.

     

    As
      an
      inducement to, and to obtain the reliance of Senticore, IHT and the IHT
      Stockholders, jointly and severally, represent and warrant as
      follows:

    

    3.01 Organization.
      

    IHT
      is,
      and will be on the Closing Date, a corporation duly organized, validly existing,
      and in good standing under the laws of the State of Illinois, and has the
      corporate power and is and will be duly authorized, qualified, franchised,
      and
      licensed under all applicable laws, regulations, ordinances, and orders of
      public authorities to own all of its properties and assets and to carry on
      its
      business in all material respects as it is now being conducted, and there are
      no
      other jurisdictions in which it is not so qualified in which the character
      and
      location of the assets owned by it or the nature of the material business
      transacted by it requires qualification, except where failure to do so would
      not
      have a material adverse effect on its business, operations, properties, assets
      or condition of IHT. The execution and delivery of this Agreement does not,
      and
      the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in
      accordance with the terms hereof will not, violate any provision of IHT’s
      Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or other material agreement to which it
      is
      a party or by which it is bound.

    

    3.02 Approval
      of Agreement.

    IHT
      has
      full power, authority, and legal right and has taken, or will take, all action
      required by law, its Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or otherwise to execute
      and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions herein
      contemplated. The board of directors of IHT has authorized and approved the
      execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and the transactions
      contemplated hereby, subject to the approval of the IHT Stockholders and
      compliance with state and federal corporate and securities laws.

    

    3.03 Capitalization.

    The
      issued and outstanding shares of common stock of IHT consist of 78,188,548
      shares held by the shareholders listed on the signature page hereof. All issued
      and outstanding shares of IHT are validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable
      and not issued in violation of the preemptive or other right of any person.
      There are no dividends or other amounts due or payable with respect to any
      of
      the shares of capital stock of IHT.

    

    3.04 Financial
      Statements.

      31, 2005 and the related statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders'
      equity for the period from inception to December 31, 2005 including the notes
      thereto and representations by the Chief Operating Officer of IHT to the effect
      that such financial statements contain all adjustments (all of which are normal
      recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the results of operations
      and
      financial position for the periods and as of the dates indicated.

    

    (b)
      The
      unaudited financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 3.04(a) have been
      prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
      consistently applied throughout the periods involved,
      and are attached hereto as Exhibit D. The financial statements of IHT present
      fairly, as of their respective dates, the financial position of IHT. IHT did
      not
      have, as of the date of any such balance sheets, except as and to the extent
      reflected or reserved against therein, any liabilities or obligations (absolute
      or contingent) which should be reflected in any financial statements or the
      notes thereto prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
      principles, and all assets reflected therein present fairly the assets of IHT,
      in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The statements
      of
      revenue and expenses and cash flows present fairly the financial position and
      result of operations of IHT as of their respective dates and for the respective
      periods covered thereby.

      delivered by IHT pursuant hereto is complete and accurate in all material
      respects and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit

    6.05 The
      Issuance of Senticore Stock.

    Senticore
      and IHT understand and agree that the consummation of this Agreement, including
      the issuance of the Convertible Preferred Stock to the IHT Stockholders as
      contemplated hereby, constitutes the offer and sale of securities under the
      Securities Act and applicable state statutes. Senticore and IHT agree that
      such
      transactions shall be consummated in reliance on exemptions from the
      registration requirements of such statutes that depend, among other items,
      on
      the circumstances under which such securities are acquired.

    

    (a)
      In
      order to provide documentation for reliance upon exemptions from the
      registration requirements for such transactions, the signing of this Agreement
      and the delivery of appropriate separate representations shall constitute the
      Parties acceptance of, and concurrence in, the following representations and
      warranties:

      is
      complete, accurate, and correct;

    (v)
      The
      IHT Stockholders understand that the Convertible Preferred Stock has not been
      registered under the Securities Act, but is being acquired by reason of specific
      exemptions under the Securities Act as well as under certain state statutes
      for
      transactions not involving any public offering; and 

    (vi)
      The
      IHT Stockholders acknowledge that the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
      or
      the common stock into which they are convertible must be held and may not be

      subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such
      registration is available. The certificates representing the shares shall bear
      the following restrictive legend:

     

    THE
      SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
      SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") AND ARE "RESTRICTED
      SECURITIES" WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES
      ACT.
      THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR
      TRANSFERRED WITHOUT COMPLYING WITH RULE 144 IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
      REGISTRATION OR OTHER COMPLIANCE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

    

    (b)
      In
      connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, Senticore shall
      file, with its counsel, such notices, applications, reports, or other
      instruments as may be deemed necessary or appropriate in an effort to document
      reliance on such exemptions, and the appropriate regulatory authority in the
      states where the IHT Stockholders reside unless an exemption requiring no filing
      is available in such jurisdictions, all to the extent and in the manner as
      may
      be deemed by such Parties to be appropriate.

    

    (c)
      In
      order to more fully document reliance on the exemptions as provided herein,
      Senticore shall execute and deliver to IHT, at or prior to the Closing, such
      further letters of representation, acknowledgment, suitability, or the like

      the transactions contemplated herein, including but not limited to reliance
      on

    (vi)
      The
      IHT Stockholders understand and acknowledge that the shares of Senticore to
      be
      acquired have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and are
      being
      offered and sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration. 

    (vii)
      In
      the event that there are more offerees who will receive Senticore Convertible
      Preferred Stock in the merger than the approximately 35 offerees who will rely
      on an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act,
      such
      additional offerees intend to rely on an exemption from registration under
      Section 4(6) under the Securities Act. Accordingly, such additional offerees
      represent and warrant that they are “accredited investors” within the meaning of
      Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Subscription agreements
      containing representations and warranties sufficient to enable Senticore to
      rely, in good faith, on Section 4(2), and, in the alternative, on Section 4(6)
      of the Securities Act in connection with this offering and merger shall be
      executed and delivered to Senticore at closing.

    

    6.06 Securities
      Filings.

    Senticore
      shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of all Securities Act and
      Exchange Act filings that may result from the transactions contemplated in
      this
      Agreement.

    

    6.07 Sales
      of
      Securities under Rule 144, If Applicable.

    (a)
      Senticore will use its best efforts to at all times satisfy the current public
      information requirements of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
      Act.

    

    (b)
      Upon
      being informed in writing by any person holding restricted common stock of
      Senticore as of the date of this Agreement that such person intends to sell
      any
      shares under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (including any Rule
      adopted in substitution or replacement thereof), Senticore will certify in
      writing to such person that it is in compliance with the Rule 144 current public
      information requirement to enable such person to sell such person's restricted
      stock under Rule 144, and as may be applicable under the
      circumstances.

     

    (c)
      If
      any certificate representing any such restricted stock is presented to
      Senticore’s transfer agent for registration or transfer in connection with any
      sales theretofore made under Rule 144, provided such certificate is duly
      endorsed for transfer by the appropriate person(s) or accompanied by a separate
      stock power duly executed by the appropriate person(s) in each case with
      reasonable assurances that such endorsements are genuine and effective, and
      is
      accompanied by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Senticore and its counsel
      that such transfer has complied with the requirements of Rule 144,
      as

    the
      case
      may be, Senticore will promptly instruct its transfer agent to allow such
      transfer and to issue one or more new certificates representing such shares
      to
      the transferee and, if appropriate under the provisions of Rule 144, as the
      case
      may be, free of any stop transfer order or restrictive legend. 

    

    (d)
      The
      shareholders of Senticore as of the date of this Agreement, as well as those
      receiving Senticore Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Agreement,
      are
      intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.07.

      Gessner and Jay Patel, being the President and Secretary, and the Chief
      Executive Officer, respectively of Senticore, Inc., a corporation organized
      and
      existing under the laws of the state of Delaware (the “Corporation”), DO HEREBY
      CERTIFY that, pursuant to the authority conferred on the Board of Directors
      by
      the Certificate of Incorporation and Section 151(g) of the Delaware General
      Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), the Board of Directors, by unanimous written
      consent on May 11, 2006, adopted the following resolution providing for the
      creation of the Corporation’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

    

    WHEREAS,
      the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide that the Corporation has
      authorized Two Hundred Million (200,000,000) shares of $.001 par value common
      stock (“Common Stock”) and Twenty Million (20,000,000) shares of $.001 par value
      preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”). The Articles of Incorporation of the

      in classes and series with such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting
      powers, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional

      thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions
      providing for the issue of such stock adopted by the Board of Directors, without

    WHEREAS,
      that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors of this
      Corporation by its Articles of Incorporation and by Section 151(g) of the DGCL,
      a series of preferred stock of the Corporation was created out of the Preferred
      Stock (the “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”), by unanimous written consent
      of the Board of Directors on May 11, 2006, to consist of Twenty Million shares

      follows.

    

    NOW
      THEREFORE BE IT:

      that the powers, preferences and rights granted to the Series A Convertible

              shares. The Series A Preferred and any other series of Preferred Stock

              The holders of the Series A Preferred shall not be entitled to receive
              Common Stock dividends or other distributions when, as, and if the
              same

              the
              Common Stock.

            Conversion
              into Common Stock.

          

    

    	(a)       	
            Right
              to Convert.
              Each share of Series A Preferred shall be convertible, at the option
              of
              the holder thereof, so long as there are sufficient authorized shares
              of
              common stock for conversion, any time after the date of issuance (
              the
              “Conversion Date”) into four hundred (400) shares of fully paid and
              nonassessable shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Ratio”).
              

          

    

    
      	
              (b)

            	
              Mechanics
                of Conversion.
                Before any holder shall be entitled to convert, he shall surrender
                the
                certificate or certificates representing Series A Preferred to be
                converted, duly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of
                transfer,
                at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent, and shall
                give
                written notice to the Corporation at such office that he elects to
                convert
                the same. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter,
                issue
                a certificate of certificates for the number of shares of Common
                Stock to
                which the holder shall be entitled. The Corporation shall, as soon
                as
                practicable after delivery of suck certificates, or such agreement
                and
                indemnification in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate,
                issue and deliver to such holder of Series A Preferred a certificate
                or
                certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such
                holder
                is entitled as aforesaid and a check payable as the result of a conversion
                into fractional shares of Common Stock. Such conversion shall be
                deemed to
                have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the
                date of
                such surrender of the shares of Series A Preferred to be converted.
                

            

    

    

    (c)
       Adjustments
      to Conversion Ratio.

    

    
      	 	
              (1)

            	
              Merger
                or Reorganization.
                In case of any consolidation or merger of the Corporation as a result
                of
                which holders of Common Stock become entitled to receive other stock
                or
                securities or property, or in case of any conveyance of all or
                substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another corporation,
                the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Series A Preferred at
                least
                thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of such event a notice
                thereof,
                and each such holder shall have the option to either (i) convert
                such
                holder’s shares of Series A Preferred into shares of Common Stock pursuant
                to this Section 3 and thereafter receive the number of shares of
                stock or
                other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares
                of
                common stock of the Corporation deliverable upon conversion of such
                Series
                A Preferred would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger
                or
                conveyance, or (ii) exercise such holder’s rights pursuant to section
                4(a).

            

    

    

    Unless
      otherwise set forth by the board of Directors, the conversion Ratio shall not
      be
      affected by a stock dividend or subdivision (stock split) on the Common Stock
      of
      the Corporation, or a stock combination (reverse stock split) or stock
      consolidation by reclassification of the Common Stock. However, once the Series
      A Preferred has been converted to Common Stock, it shall be subject to all
      corporate actions that affect or modify the common stock. 

    

    
      	
              (d)

            	
              No
                Impairment.
                The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation,
                amend this Certificate of Designation or through any reorganization,
                transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or
                sale of
                securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid
                the
                observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed
                hereunder by the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith
                assist
                in the carrying out of all provisions of this Section 3 and in the
                taking
                of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to
                protect
                the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred against
                impairment.

provided, however, that nothing contained in this Waiver shall be construed as a
waiver of any other Default or Event of Default, including, without limitation

Waiver with respect to any other Delayed Report, then upon five Business Days'
prior written notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent that the
Company no longer requires the benefits of Section 1(a) of this Waiver, then
"Applicable Margin" and "Applicable Unused Commitment Fee Rate" shall each
revert to the definition set forth in the Credit Agreement without giving effect
to this Section 1(b) and from and after such fifth Business Day this Waiver
shall cease to be of further force and effect with respect to any Delayed Report
that has not yet been delivered.
