INVESTOR'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES The undersigned hereby acknowledges, agrees with and represents and warrants to Pubco and the Placement Agent and its affiliates, as follows: (a) The undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, the execution and delivery of which has been duly authorized, if applicable, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the undersigned. (b) The undersigned acknowledges his understanding that the offering and sale of the Units is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder ("Regulation D"). In furtherance thereof, the undersigned represents and warrants to Pubco and the Placement Agent and its affiliates as follows: (i) The undersigned realizes that the basis for the exemption from registration may not be available if, notwithstanding the undersigned's representations contained herein, the undersigned is merely acquiring the Units for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. The undersigned does not have any such intention. C-2 (ii) The undersigned is acquiring the Unit(s) solely for the undersigned's own beneficial account, for investment purposes, and not with view to, or resale in connection with, any distribution of the shares of Preferred Stock, or shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred Stock is converted and the Warrants are exercised. (iii) The undersigned has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of his investment, has adequate means for providing for his current needs and contingencies, and has no need for liquidity with respect to his investment in Pubco; (iv) The undersigned and the undersigned's attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax advisor, if any (collectively, "Advisors"), have received the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum, dated April 18, 2005, together with all annexes thereto (as such documents may be amended or supplemented, the "Memorandum"), relating to the private placement by Pubco of the Units, and all other documents requested by the undersigned or his Advisors, if any, have carefully reviewed them and understand the information contained therein, prior to the execution of this Agreement; and (v) The undersigned (together with his Advisors, if any) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Units. If other than an individual, the undersigned also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Units. (c) The information in the Investor Questionnaire completed and executed by the undersigned (the "Investor Questionnaire") is accurate and true in all respects, and the undersigned is an "accredited investor," as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. (d) The undersigned (and his Advisors, if any) has been furnished with a copy of the Memorandum. (e) The undersigned is not relying on the Placement Agent or its affiliates with respect to economic considerations involved in this investment. The undersigned has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only his Advisors. Each Advisor, if any, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Units as such are described in the Memorandum, and each Advisor, if any, has disclosed to the undersigned in writing (a copy of which is annexed to this Agreement) the specific details of any and all past, present or future relationships, actual or contemplated, between himself and the Placement Agent or any affiliate or subsidiary thereof. (f) The undersigned represents, warrants and agrees that he will not sell or otherwise transfer the shares of Preferred Stock and Warrants (including such shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred Stock and Warrants are convertible or exercisable, as appropriate, and collectively with the Preferred Stock and the Warrants, the "Securities") without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and fully understands and agrees that he must bear the economic risk of his purchase because, among other reasons, the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states, or an exemption from such registration is available. In particular, the undersigned is aware that the Securities are "restricted securities," as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act ("Rule 144"), and they may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 unless all of the conditions of Rule 144 are met. The undersigned also understands that, except as otherwise provided herein, Pubco is under no obligation to register the Securities on his behalf or to assist him in complying with any exemption from registration under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. The undersigned understands that any sales or transfers of the Securities are further restricted by state securities laws and the provisions of this Agreement. C-3 (g) No representations or warranties have been made to the undersigned by Pubco, GlobalOptions or the Placement Agent, or any of their respective officers, employees, agents, affiliates or subsidiaries, other than any representations of Pubco or the Placement Agent contained herein and in the Memorandum, and in subscribing for Units the undersigned is not relying upon any representations other than any contained herein or in the Memorandum. (h) The undersigned understands and acknowledges that his purchase of the Units is a speculative investment that involves a high degree of risk and the potential loss of his entire investment and has carefully read and considered the matters set forth in the Memorandum and in particular the matters under the caption "Risk Factors" therein, and, in particular, acknowledges that Pubco is engaged in a highly competitive business. (i) The undersigned's overall commitment to investments that are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the undersigned's net worth, and an investment in the Units will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive. (j) The undersigned understands and agrees that the certificates for the Securities shall bear substantially the following legend until (i) such securities shall have been registered under the Securities Act and effectively disposed of in accordance with a registration statement that has been declared effective or (ii) in the opinion of counsel for Pubco such securities may be sold without registration under the Securities Act as well as any applicable "blue sky" or state securities laws: THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, DELIVERED AFTER SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED BY THE ISSUER WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION COVERING SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED. (k) Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") nor any state securities commission has approved the Units or the Securities, or passed upon or endorsed the merits of the Offering or confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of the Memorandum. The Memorandum has not been reviewed by any Federal, state or other regulatory authority. (l) The undersigned and his Advisors, if any, have had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from a person or persons acting on behalf of Pubco concerning the offering of the Units and the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Pubco, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the undersigned and his Advisors, if any. (m) The undersigned is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of the offering of the Units through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television, radio or over the Internet, in connection with the offering and sale of the Units and is not subscribing for Units and did not become aware of the offering of the Units through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which the undersigned was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not previously known to the undersigned in connection with investments in securities generally. (n) The undersigned has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finders' fees or the like relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than C-4 commissions to be paid by Pubco to the Placement Agent or as otherwise described in the Memorandum) and, in turn, to be paid to other selected dealers. (o) The undersigned is not relying on Pubco, the Placement Agent or any of their respective employees or agents with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations of an investment in the Units, and the undersigned has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only his own Advisors. (p) The undersigned acknowledges that any estimates or forward-looking statements or projections included in the Memorandum were prepared by the future management of Pubco in good faith, but that the attainment of any such projections, estimates or forward-looking statements cannot be guaranteed by Pubco or its management and should not be relied upon.

(s) The foregoing representations, warranties, and agreements shall survive the Closing. 4. PUBCO'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES Pubco hereby acknowledges, agrees with and represents and warrants to each of the undersigned, as follows: (a) Pubco has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder.

COVENANTS 5.1 PREPARATION AND DELIVERY OF THE DRAFT FORM 8-K; WITHDRAWAL OF SUBSCRIPTION. At least three (3) days prior to the date of closing of the Merger, Pubco shall prepare and deliver to the undersigned via overnight courier or facsimile, the Draft Form 8-K proposed to be filed by Pubco, which shall describe the terms and conditions of the Merger, in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Accounting and Financial Reporting Interpretations and Guidance issued by the accounting staff C-5 members of the Division of Corporate Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2001, as the same relates to "Reverse Acquisitions-Reporting Issues." 5.2 REGISTRATION RIGHTS; LOCK-UP. (a) Pubco shall file a registration statement (the "Registration Statement") with the SEC covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred Stock and Warrants are convertible or exercisable, as appropriate, on or around, but no later than, one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Closing Date. Pubco shall use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as possible after the initial filing, and agrees to respond to the SEC, within thirty (30) days of receipt, to all questions and comments from the SEC regarding the Registration Statement. Pubco will maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement from the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement until one (1) year after that date; PROVIDED that, if at any time or from time to time after the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, Pubco notifies the undersigned in writing of the existence of a Potential Material Event (as defined below), the undersigned shall not offer or sell any of the Securities, or engage in any other transaction involving or relating to the Securities, from the time of the giving of notice with respect to a Potential Material Event until Pubco notifies the undersigned that such Potential Material Event either has been disclosed to the public or no longer constitutes a Potential Material Event; PROVIDED, FURTHER that, Pubco may not suspend the right of the undersigned pursuant to this Section 5.2(a) for more than sixty (60) days in the aggregate. "Potential Material Event" means the possession by Pubco of material information regarding a potential transaction not ripe for disclosure in a registration statement, which shall be evidenced by determinations in good faith by the Board of Directors of Pubco that disclosure of such information in the registration statement would be detrimental to the business and affairs of Pubco. (b) If Pubco fails to (i) file the Registration Statement with the SEC on or prior to one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, or (ii) subject to Section 5.2(a), maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement from date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement until one (1) year after that date, Pubco shall be obligated to issue to the undersigned additional shares of Preferred Stock computed as follows: on the first day that Pubco has failed to file, or to maintain the effectiveness of, the Registration Statement, as the case may be (the "First Determination Date"), Pubco shall determine the number of shares of Preferred Stock entitled (by virtue of the underlying shares of Common Stock to be registered) to the benefit of the registration rights set forth in this Section 5.2 that are held by the undersigned (the "Subject Securities"). Within sixty (60) days following the First Determination Date, Pubco shall issue to the undersigned such number of shares of Preferred Stock equal to 2% of number of shares of Subject Securities (the "Penalty Shares"). Penalty Shares shall also be issuable upon the expiration of each 30-day period following the First Determination Date during which Pubco has continued to fail to obtain effectiveness of, or maintain effectiveness of, the Registration Statement, as the case may be (the expiration date of each such 30-day period being a "Subsequent Determination Date"). The number of Penalty Shares issuable following each Subsequent Determination Date shall be determined and issued in accordance with this section on the same basis applicable to the First Determination Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Penalty Shares previously issued to the undersigned shall be excluded from the calculation of Subject Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pubco shall not be obligated to issue pursuant to this paragraph to the undersigned an aggregate number of Penalty Shares greater than 20% of the number of shares of Subject Securities originally subscribed for and held by the undersigned. (c) If Pubco fails to respond to the SEC, within thirty (30) days of receipt, to any questions and comments from the SEC regarding the Registration Statement, Pubco shall be obligated to issue Penalty Shares to the undersigned. The thirty-first (31st) day that Pubco has failed to respond to the SEC is termed the "Response Determination Date." Within sixty (60) days following the Response Determination Date, Pubco shall issue to the undersigned Penalty Shares (which are equal to 2% of the number of shares of Subject Securities). Penalty Shares shall also be issuable upon the expiration of each 30-day period following the Response Determination Date during which Pubco has continued to fail to respond to the SEC (the expiration date of each such 30-day C-6 period being a "Subsequent Response Determination Date"). The number of Penalty Shares issuable following each Subsequent Response Determination Date shall be determined and issued in accordance with this section on the same basis applicable to the Response Determination Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Penalty Shares previously issued to the undersigned shall be excluded from the calculation of Subject Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pubco shall not be obligated to issue pursuant to this paragraph to the undersigned an aggregate number of Penalty Shares greater than 20% of the number of shares of Subject Securities originally subscribed for and held by the undersigned. (d) Pubco shall notify the undersigned at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. At the request of the undersigned, Pubco shall also prepare, file and furnish to the undersigned a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such shares, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. The undersigned agrees not to offer or sell any shares covered by the Registration Statement after receipt of such notification until the receipt of such supplement or amendment. (e) Pubco may request the undersigned to furnish Pubco such information with respect to the undersigned and the undersigned's proposed distribution of Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement as Pubco may from time to time reasonably request in writing or as shall be required by law or by the SEC in connection therewith, and the undersigned agrees to furnish Pubco with such information. 5.3 BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY AGREEMENT.
