(m) Purchaser will comply with all requirements imposed on it by the Exchange Act in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein. 5. Special Covenants. The parties make and agree to the following special covenants which have served as material inducements for their respective decisions to enter into this Agreement. (a) Actions of the Company's board of directors. The Company's board of directors has, by unanimous written consent, authorized and approved the following: (i) this Stock Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) the declaration of a special cash dividend in the amount of $417,500 to the common stockholders of the Company as of a record date on or about, but no less than, ten days from the Closing Date (the "Dividend Record Date"); (iii) the Certificate of Designations, Rights and Preferences with Respect to the Series A Voting Convertible Preferred Stock; and (iv) the appointment of Timothy P. Halter a person designated by Purchaser, as an additional director of the Company effective on the Closing Date. The Company's board of directors will authorize and approve such other actions as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser or may be required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. (b) Limitation on Reverse Stock Splits. Following Closing, Purchaser, as the controlling stockholder of the Company, will not permit the Company to effect any reverse stock split following Closing unless Thomas G. Kimble, as representative of the Company's current stockholders, consents to any such reverse stock split in writing in advance; provided, that the Company shall be entitled to effect a 8 reverse stock split on a basis of 1 post split share for each 10 (or fewer) pre-split shares without such approval. This provision shall be binding upon any permitted successors or assigns of Purchaser and shall automatically terminate at the time the Company enters into a Going Public Transaction in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (c) Limitation on Future Share Issuances. Following Closing, Purchaser, as the controlling stockholder of the Company, will not permit the Company to authorize the issuance of any additional shares of the Company's capital stock or securities convertible into the Company's capital stock except in connection with a combination transaction with a corporation or other business entity with current business operations (a "Going Public Transaction") and except the issuance of common stock upon the conversion of the Shares. This provision shall be binding upon any permitted successors or assigns of Purchaser and shall automatically terminate at the time the Company enters into a Going Public Transaction in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (d) Minimum Qualifications for Going Public Transaction. Following Closing, Purchaser, as the controlling stockholder of the Company, will not allow the Company to enter into a Going Public Transaction unless the Company, on a combined basis with the operating entity with which it completes a Going Public Transaction, satisfies the financial conditions for listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market immediately following the closing of the Going Public Transaction. This provision shall be binding upon any permitted successors or assigns of Purchaser and shall automatically terminate at the time the Company enters into a Going Public Transaction in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (e) Transfer and Registration Rights. (i) Mandatory Registration. Upon receipt of written demand by Purchaser, the Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than 60 calendar days after the date of such notice, file with the SEC a Registration Statement or Registration Statements (as is necessary) on Form S-3 (or if such form is unavailable, such other form as is available for registration) covering the resale of all of the Shares (or the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares). The Company shall use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 120 calendar days after the date notice is received. (ii) Piggy Back Registration Rights. (aa) If the Company decides, including as required under any demand registration rights agreement, to register any of its common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stock under the Securities Act on a form which is suitable for an offering for cash or shares of the Company held by third parties and which is not a registration solely to implement an employee benefit plan, a registration statement on Form S-4 (or successor form) or a transaction to which Rule 145 or any other similar rule of the SEC is applicable, the Company will promptly give written notice to the Purchaser of its intention to effect such a registration. Subject 9 to Section 5(e)(ii)(bb) below, the Company shall include all of the Shares that the Purchaser requests to be included in such a registration by a written notice delivered to the Company within fifteen (15) days after the notice given by the Company. (bb) If the registration, as described in Section 5(e)(ii)(aa) above, involves an underwritten offering, the Company will not be required to register Shares in excess of the amount that the principal underwriter reasonably and in good faith recommends may be included in such offering (a "Cutback"), which recommendation, and supporting reasoning, shall be delivered to Purchaser. If such a Cutback occurs, the number of shares that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated in the following manner: (i) first, to the Company for any securities it proposes to sell for its own account, (ii) second, to the Purchaser requiring such registration, and (iii) third, to other holders of stock of the Company requesting inclusion in the registration, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the number of shares for which each such requesting holder has requested registration. (cc) All costs and expenses of any such registration statement shall be paid by the Company, other than sales commissions and the expenses of any separate legal counsel engaged by Purchaser. (dd) The Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement may not be transferred except in a transaction which is in compliance with the Act and applicable state laws and regulations. (f) Directors of Company at Closing. As provided in Section 5(a) above, Thomas G. Kimble shall remain on the board of directors of the Company after Closing and one person designated by Purchaser shall be elected to the Company's board of directors and shall commence his or her term on the Closing Date. (g) Special Cash Dividend. The Company shall declare and pay to the persons who are common stockholders of record on the Dividend Record Date a special cash dividend of $0.278333 per pre-split share of common stock for an aggregate dividend of $417,500. Purchaser expressly acknowledges that it cannot convert the Shares to common stock prior to the Dividend Record Date and that it will not be entitled to participate in such dividend. Purchaser also expressly acknowledges that a virtually all of the purchase price for the Shares will be used to pay the dividend, which will have the effect of materially reducing the book value of the Company immediately following Closing. (h) Form S-8 Registration of Acquiror Company Common Stock. From and after the date of Closing and until such time as the Company completes a Going Public Transaction, the Company shall not issue any shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-8. (i) Resales of Restricted Stock. In the event the Company determines in good faith and upon the advice of its counsel that is unable to permit the resale under Rule 144(k) of any of the shares (the "Subject 10 Shares") of restricted stock presently held by the Company's current officers, directors and principal stockholders (the "Subject Stockholders"), which determination shall be made within ten business days of the written request therefor from the Subject Stockholders, then the Subject Stockholders shall immediately be entitled to the same demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to the Subject Shares that are provided to Purchaser pursuant to Section 5(e) hereof and, in the event of any Cutback, an equal number of the Shares of Purchaser and the Subject Stockholders shall be included in any registration statement (unless all of the Subject Shares have been included, in which event a greater number of the Shares of Purchaser may also be included) with respect to which Purchaser and the Subject Stockholders have requested registration. All costs and expenses of registration shall be paid by the Company, other than sales commissions and the expenses of any separate legal counsel engaged by the Subject Stockholders. 6. Conditions to Purchaser's Obligations. The obligations of Purchaser to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are subject, at its discretion, to the following conditions: (a) The representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement were true when made and shall be true at the date of Closing with the same force and effect as if such representations and warranties were made at and as of the date of Closing (except for changes permitted by this Agreement), and the Company shall have performed and complied with all covenants and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it prior to or at the Closing. (b) Prior to the date of closing, there shall not have occurred any material adverse change in the financial condition, business, or operations of the Company, nor shall any event have occurred which, with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both, may cause or create any material adverse change in the financial condition, business, or operations of the Company. (c) Purchaser shall have been furnished with a certificate, signed by the president of the Company and dated as of the date of closing, certifying as to the matters set forth in (a) and (b) above.

(b) Prior to the date of closing, there shall not have occurred any material adverse change in the financial condition, business, or operations of Purchaser, nor shall any event have occurred which, with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both, may cause or create any material adverse change in the financial condition, business, or operations of Purchaser.

(a) This Agreement may be terminated by the board of directors of the Company or by the Purchaser's General Partner at any time prior to the Closing if: (i) there shall be any actual or threatened action or proceeding before any court or any governmental body which shall seek to restrain, prohibit, or invalidate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and which, in the judgment of such board of directors, made in good faith and based on the advice of its legal counsel, makes it inadvisable to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are disapproved by any regulatory authority whose approval is required to consummate such transactions or in the judgment of such board of directors, made in good faith and based on the advice of counsel, there is substantial likelihood that any such approval will not be obtained or will be obtained only on a condition or conditions which would be unduly burdensome, making it inadvisable to proceed with the exchange; or (iii) there shall occur any material adverse change in the assets, properties, business, or financial condition of the party not seeking termination pursuant to this provision, which material adverse change occurs subsequent to the date of the information included in this Agreement. In the event of termination pursuant to this Section 8(a), no obligation, right, or liability shall arise hereunder, and each party 12 shall bear all of the expenses incurred by it in connection with the negotiation, drafting, and execution of this Agreement and the transactions herein contemplated.

If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 8(b), this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect, and no obligation, right, or liability shall arise hereunder, except that Purchaser shall reimburse the Company for all costs and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by it in connection with this Agreement, which were incurred from and after the date hereof; provided, however, such termination shall not relieve Purchaser from any liability for damages resulting from any willful and intentional breach of this Agreement. (c) This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing by action of the Purchaser's General Partner if the Company shall fail to comply in any material respect with any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or if any of the representations or warranties of the Company contained herein shall be inaccurate in any material respect.
