Item 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

The current Board of Directors of the Company has adopted a policy that
Company affairs will be conducted in all respects by standards applicable to
publicly-held corporations and that the Company will not enter into any
transactions and/or loans between the Company and its officers, directors and 5%
stockholders, unless the terms are no less favorable than could be obtained from
independent third parties and unless such transactions are approved by a
majority of the independent disinterested directors of the Company.

experience in financial and business matters which allowed it to evaluate the
merits and risk of the purchase of these securities of the Company, and that it
was knowledgeable about the Company's operations and financial condition. The
terms and conditions of this financing were determined by the parties through
arms length negotiations and the Company believes the terms are no less
favorable to the Company than terms attainable from unaffiliated third parties.

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share with
respect to all matters required by law to be submitted to stockholders of the
Company. The holders of common stock have the sole right to vote, except as
otherwise provided by law or by the Articles of Incorporation. The common stock

rights. The election of directors and other general stockholder action requires
the affirmative vote of a majority of shares represented at a meeting in which a
quorum is represented.

<PAGE>

The holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as
and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available
therefor only after accrued dividends are paid to holders of preferred stock and
other senior securities. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the affairs of the Company, the holders of common stock are entitled to share
ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them subject to
the rights of holders of preferred stock and other senior securities.

common stock. A cash dividend shall only be made out of funds legally available
therefor. If dividends are paid in common stock, the value of the in-kind common
stock shall be the Current Market Price (as defined below). In the event the
Company fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock
entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution with respect to the Common
Stock payable in (i) securities of the Company other than shares of Common Stock
or (ii) assets, then and in each such event the holders of Preferred Stock shall
receive, at the same time such distribution is made with respect to Common
Stock, the number of securities or such other assets of the Company which they
would have received had their Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock
immediately prior to the record date for determining holders of Common Stock
entitled to receive such distribution.

The Preferred Stock is not convertible into any security of the
Company. The Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights. In the event of any
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be
entitled to receive out of assets of the Corporation available for distribution
to stockholders, before any distribution of assets is made to holders of any
other class of capital stock of the Corporation, an amount equal to $1.00 per
share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for
distribution.

At or before May 31, 2004, if there is a transaction resulting in any

discretion, may redeem any and/or all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
