During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Closing Date, SinoFresh will conduct its business and engage in transactions only in the ordinary course consistent with past - -------------------- 11 "Appraisal rights" shall have the same meaning as that term is used in the Florida Business Corporation Act. 15 practice. During such period, SinoFresh will use its best efforts to (a) preserve its business organization intact, and (b) maintain its current status as a company whose shares are traded on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board. In addition, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, SinoFresh agrees that from the date of this Agreement to the Closing Date, except as otherwise consented to or approved by HealthCare in writing (which consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) or as permitted or required by this Agreement or as required by law, SinoFresh will not: 5.1.1 grant any severance or termination pay to or enter into or amend any employment agreement with, or increase the amount of payments or fees to, any of its employees, officers or directors other than salary increases to employees consistent with past increases; 5.1.2 make any capital expenditures in excess of $1,000 U.S.; 5.1.3 guarantee the obligations of any person except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice; 5.1.4 acquire assets other than those necessary in the conduct of its business in the ordinary course; 5.1.5 sell, transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of assets with a value in excess of $1,000 U.S.; 5.1.6 enter into or amend or terminate any long term (one year or more) contract (including real property leases) except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice; 5.1.7 enter into or amend any contract that calls for the payment by SinoFresh of $1,000 U.S. or more after the date of this Agreement; 5.1.8 engage or participate in any material transaction or incur or sustain any material obligation otherwise than in the ordinary course of business; 5.1.9 contribute to any benefit plans except in such amounts and at such times as consistent with past practice; 5.1.10 increase the number of full-time equivalent employees other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice; 5.1.11 acquire any real property; or 5.1.12 agree to do any of the foregoing. 5.2 NO SOLICITATION AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.

SinoFresh will promptly communicate to HealthCare the identity of any interested or inquiring party, all relevant information surrounding the interest or inquiry, as well as the terms of any proposal that SinoFresh may receive in respect of any such transaction. If this Agreement is terminated by HealthCare due to uncured breach of this Section 5.2, then HealthCare shall be entitled to $200,000 U.S. from SinoFresh and the SinoFresh shareholder as liquidated damages. Such liquidated damages shall constitute full payment and the exclusive remedy for any damages suffered by HealthCare by reason of such breach and the terms of this Agreement. SinoFresh, HealthCare and the SinoFresh shareholder agree that actual damages would be difficult to ascertain and that $200,000 U.S. is a fair and equitable amount to reimburse HealthCare for such damages and the termination of this Agreement. 5.3 ACCESS TO PROPERTIES AND RECORDS; CONFIDENTIALITY. 5.3.1 SinoFresh shall permit HealthCare and its representatives reasonable access to its properties and shall disclose and make available to HealthCare all books, papers and records relating to the assets, stock, ownership, properties, obligations, operations and liabilities of SinoFresh, including but not limited to, all books of account (including the general ledger), tax records, minute books of directors and stockholders meetings, organizational documents, bylaws, material contracts and agreements, filings with any regulatory authority, accountants work papers, litigation files, plans affecting employees, and any other business activities or prospects in which HealthCare may have a reasonable interest, in each case during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice. SinoFresh shall not be required to provide access to or disclose information where such access or disclosure would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege or would contravene any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The parties will use all reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply. 5.3.2 All information furnished by SinoFresh to HealthCare or the representatives or affiliates of HealthCare pursuant to, or in any negotiation in connection with, this Agreement shall be treated as the sole property of SinoFresh until consummation of the Merger and if the Merger shall not occur HealthCare and its affiliates, agents and advisors shall upon written request return to SinoFresh all documents or other materials containing, reflecting, referring to such information, and shall keep confidential all such information and shall not disclose or use such information for competitive purposes.

29 SCHEDULE 3 e-Book Financial Statements 30 e-BOOK NETWORK, INC. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001 31 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of e-Book Network, Inc. 14790 S.W. 21st Street Davie, Florida 33325 I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of e-Book Network, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2002, the period from inception (January 3, 2001) to December 31, 2001, and the period from inception (January 3, 2001) to December 31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits. I conducted my audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion. In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of e-Book Network, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2002, the period from inception (January 3, 2001) to December 31, 2001, and the period from January 3, 2001 (inception) to December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 32 The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note H to the financial statements, the Company has not generated any income which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note H. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

See Accompanying Notes to Financial Statements. 38 E-BOOK NETWORK, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2003 (UNAUDITED) NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six month period ending June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2003. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto of the Company as of December 31, 2002 and the period from inception (January 3, 2001) to December 31, 2002. NOTE B - INCOME PER SHARE Basic Earnings per Share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year plus potential dilutive instruments such as stock options and warrants. The effect of stock options on diluted EPS is determined through the application of the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds received by the Company based on assumed exercises are hypothetically used to repurchase the Company's common stock at the average market price during the period. Loss per share is unchanged on a diluted basis since the Company has no potentially dilutive securities outstanding. NOTE C - GOING CONCERN The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has not generated any income and is unable to predict when its operations will generate income. Also, as shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $30,715 during the period January 3, 2001 (inception) to June 30, 2003. Therefore, it will be necessary for the Company officer to advance funds to the Company until such time as additional financing is available. There can be no assurance that 39 E-BOOK NETWORK, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2003 (UNAUDITED) the Company officer will have, or will be willing to advance funds to the Company when the funds are required. Also, there can be no assurances that additional financing will become available when required. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. NOTE D - TERMINATION OF LEASE OBLIGATIONS Effective June 30, 2002, by mutual consent, the operating sublease for facilities and utilities from September 1, 2001 to March 1, 2005 from a related party was terminated without cost to the Company. 40 E-BOOK NETWORK, INC.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements 44 E-BOOK NETWORK, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2002 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1. ORGANIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT STAGE ACTIVITIES The Company was incorporated in Florida on January 3, 2001 and is in its development stage. To date, the Company's activities have been limited to organization, capital formation, and the purchase of a website to sell a variety of books and reading material. The Company intends to participate in the VSTORE Virtual Storefront Network. This participation will allow the Company to set up a storefront to market products that will be owned, billed, and shipped by VSTORE. The Company will be paid a commission on any orders that have been delivered and are no longer covered by the VSTORE return program (usually 30 days from the date of delivery). VSTORE commissions range from 5% to 20%. Each product has its own unique commission amount and this can change depending on availability and pricing. e-Book Network, Inc. is one of a group of thirteen (13) commonly owned companies formed or to be formed in connection with the Plan of Reorganization (amended) of e-Miracle Network, Inc. Debtor. The amended Plan of Reorganization of e-Miracle Network, Inc. was approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of Florida, Miami Division, on March 6, 2001. In addition to certain payment plans and distribution of stock in the Reorganized Debtor (e-Miracle Network, Inc.), the investor group and creditors of the debtor will be entitled to distribution of stock in thirteen (13) separate companies formed to support the Debtor's (e-Miracle Network, Inc.) reorganization and product sales. The plan provides the stock will be issued pursuant to the exemption from registration set forth in 11 U.S.C. ss.1145 and pursuant to Section 3(a)(7) of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended. Under the plan, the investors group has agreed to invest $5,000 to $10,000 per entity to complete their business model, facilitate operations and to complete research and development. e-Miracle Network, Inc. (the Reorganized Debtor) will enter into marketing agreements with these companies. If these entities complete research and development, the investor group will make available to these entities one line of credit of $250,000 for working capital as needed once these entities begin business operations. 2. INTANGIBLE ASSETS The Company makes reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Under SFAS No. 121, an impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its 45 E-BOOK NETWORK, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2002 eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. No such impairment losses have been identified by the Company to date. Intangible assets at the balance sheet date consist of a website that is carried at cost. The Company amortizes this asset on a straight-line basis over three years. The website was purchased from an entity that is considered to be a related party. (See Note C.) 3. INCOME PER SHARE Basic Earnings per Share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year plus potential dilutive instruments such as stock options and warrants. The effect of stock options on diluted EPS is determined through the application of the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds received by the Company based on assumed exercises are hypothetically used to repurchase the Company's common stock at the average market price during the period. Loss per share is unchanged on a diluted basis since the Company has no potentially dilutive securities outstanding. 4. CASH For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. 5. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company's short-term financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable.

The overall objective of SFAS 132 is to improve and standardize disclosures about pensions and other post-retirement benefits and to make the required information more understandable. The adoption of SFAS 132 did not affect results of operations or financial position. The Company has not initiated benefit plans to date which would require disclosure under the statement. 12. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 133"), which is required to be adopted in years beginning after June 15, 1999. SFAS 133 will require the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. The Company has not yet determined what the effect of SFAS 133 will be on earnings and the financial position of the Company, however, it believes that it has not to date engaged in significant transactions encompassed by the statement. 13.
