Whereas CHVC desires to sell and Purchaser desires to purchase 15,000,000 shares of common stock of CHVC contemporaneously with the Merger Agreement,

Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises of the parties; in reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants, and conditions contained in this Agreement; and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1:                                SALE

1.01           Sale of Stock.  CHVC agrees to sell, convey, transfer, assign, and deliver to Purchaser 15,000,000 shares of CHVC common stock and Purchaser agrees to purchase such stock (collectively, the “Stock”).

2.01           Organization.  CHVC is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation.  CHVC is qualified to do business in all jurisdictions in which it does business and has all requisite power and authority (corporate and, when applicable, government) to own, operate, and carry on its businesses as now being conducted.

2.02           Authority.  CHVC has full power and authority to execute, deliver, and consummate this Agreement, subject to the conditions to Closing set forth in this Agreement.

2.03           Representations.  No representation, warranty, or covenant made to Purchaser in this Agreement contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits or will omit a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in this Agreement not misleading.

2.05           Compliance with Securities Laws.  (a) Purchaser acknowledges that CHVC is relying upon the accuracy and completeness of the statements and representations contained in this section in complying with its obligations under the federal and state securities laws.  Purchaser acknowledges and represents that:

(i) Purchaser is in a financial position to hold the Shares,( the “Securities”) for an indefinite period of time, is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and may withstand a complete loss of Purchaser’s investment in the Securities;

(ii) The Purchaser believes that it, either alone or together with the assistance of its own professional advisor or advisors, has the knowledge and experience in business and financial matters that make it capable of reading and interpreting financial statements of and concerning CHVC and of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities;

(iii) Purchaser has obtained, to the extent it deems necessary, its own personal professional advice with respect to the risks inherent in an investment in the Securities and to the suitability of an investment in the Securities in light of its financial condition and investment needs;

(iv) Purchaser understands that an investment in the Securities is highly speculative but that it believes that an investment in the Securities is suitable based upon Purchaser’s investment objectives and financial needs, and that it has adequate means for providing for its current financial needs and contingencies and has no need for liquidity of investment with respect to the Securities;

(v) Purchaser acknowledges access to full and complete information regarding CHVC and has utilized that access to Purchaser’s satisfaction for the purpose of obtaining information concerning the named entities, an investment in the Securities and the terms and conditions of this offering of the Securities, and has either attended or been given reasonable opportunity to attend a meeting with representatives of CHVC for the purpose of asking questions of, and receiving answers from, these representatives concerning CHVC, an investment in the Securities

and the terms and conditions of this offering of the Securities, and for the purpose of obtaining any additional information to the extent reasonable available that is necessary to verify the information provided;

(vi) Purchaser recognizes that the Securities as an investment involve a high degree of risk;

(vii) Purchaser realizes that (A) the purchase of the Securities is a long-term investment; (B) the Purchaser must bear the economic risk of investment for an indefinite period of time because the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any state, and, therefore, cannot be sold unless they are subsequently registered under these laws or exemptions from registrations are available; (C) there presently is no public market for the Securities and Purchaser may not be able to liquidate Purchaser's investment in the Securities in the event of an emergency or to pledge the Securities as collateral for loans; and (D) the transferability of the Securities is restricted, and (1) requires conformity with the restrictions contained hereinbelow, and (2) will be further restricted by legends placed on the certificates representing the Securities referring to the applicable restrictions on transferability;

(b) Purchaser has been advised that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or applicable state securities laws, that the Securities are being offered and sold pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of these laws, and that the reliance of CHVC on these exemptions is predicated in part on Purchaser’s representations contained in this section.  Purchaser represents and warrants that the Securities are being purchased for its own account and for investment and without the intention of reselling or redistributing the Securities, that Purchaser has not made any agreement with any other person or entity regarding any of the Securities, and that Purchaser’s financial condition is such that it is not likely that it will be necessary for Purchaser to dispose of the Securities in the foreseeable future.  Purchaser is aware that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, a purchase of the Securities with an intent to resell the Securities by reason of any foreseeable specific contingency or anticipated change in market values, or any change in the condition of Purchaser or its business, or in connection with a contemplated liquidation or settlement of any loan obtained for the acquisition of the Securities and for which the Securities was pledged as security, would represent an intent that is inconsistent with the representations set forth above.  Purchaser further represents and agrees that, if, contrary to Purchaser’s foregoing intentions, Purchaser later should desire to dispose of or transfer any of the Securities in any manner, Purchaser will not do so without first obtaining (A) an opinion of independent counsel to the effect that the proposed disposition or transfer lawfully can be made without registration of the Securities pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 an then in effect and applicable state securities law, or (B) such registration.

(c) Purchaser represents and warrants that the Securities are being received by Purchaser in Purchaser’s own name solely for Purchaser’s own beneficial interest, and not as nominee for, or on behalf of, or for the beneficial interest of, or with the intention to transfer to, any other person, trust or organization, except as specifically set forth hereinbelow.

(d) Purchaser is informed of the significance to CHVC of the foregoing representations, agreements and consents, and they are made with the intention that CHVC may rely upon them and agrees to indemnify CHVC, and its officers, directors and agents (the “Indemnified Parties”) for any loss, claim or liability which any Indemnified Party might incur as a result of reliance upon any fact misrepresented by Purchaser in this section.

(e) Purchaser additionally represents that the representations contained in this section have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Purchaser, has been duly executed by an authorized officer or representative of Purchaser, and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser enforceable according to its terms.
