HOMELAND INTEGRATED SECURITY SYSTEMS, INC.

COMMON STOCK

Homeland Integrated Security Systems, Inc. (“HISC,” “we,” “us,” “our”) is offering for sale up to 100,000,000 shares of our common stock, $.00001 par value per share, at an initial offering price of $.50 per share of common stock. The offering will commence on the date of this prospectus and will continue until all shares are sold. There is no minimum offering amount. We intend to offer the shares to the public through our officers and directors who will not be paid any commissions. We may pay participating brokers a commission of up to the maximum allowable rate. Assuming all 100,000,000 shares are sold at $.50 per share, we would recognize gross proceeds of $50,000,000, before participating brokers' commissions.

Selling security holders are offering for sale 27,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $.06 per share and holders of options to purchase shares of common stock exercisable at $.05 per share may exercise those options and offer for sale 60,000,000 shares of the underlying common stock at a price of $.10 per share (together being our “selling security holders”). The selling security holders are expected to offer and sell their shares through their own securities broker-dealers or in private transactions. See-“Plan of Distribution.” The selling security holders may sell their shares at market prices or privately negotiated prices. Assuming all these shares are sold at an assumed market price on the date of this prospectus of $.06 per share, the selling security holders, as a group, would receive gross proceeds in the aggregate of $1,620,000, before broker-dealer commissions or concessions, which at the date of this prospectus the selling security holders are unable to determine and which can be expected to vary from transaction to transaction and selling security holder to selling security holder. In addition, assuming that all of the options are exercised, we would recognize gross proceeds of $6,000,000. Selling security holders may continue to offer the shares until sold, as long as we maintain a current prospectus to cover the sales. We will not receive any proceeds from sales of shares by the selling security holders. Selling security holders and brokers effecting transactions in our common stock on their behalf may be deemed to be “underwriters”, as defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Our common stock is quoted on the pink sheets under the symbol HISC.PK. On December 2, 2005, the reported closing price for our common stock on the pink sheets was $.06.

These securities involve a high degree of risk and should be considered only by persons who can afford the loss of their entire investment. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 10.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. Our company may not sell these securities until the registration filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.

The date of this preliminary prospectus is December 2, 2005.

PROSPECTUS SUMM ARY

The following is a summary of the pertinent information regarding this offering. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information and financial statements and related notes included in this Prospectus. The Prospectus should be read in its entirety, as this summary does not contain all facts necessary to make an investment decision.

HOMELAND INTEGRATED SECURITY SYSTEMS, INC.

Homeland Integrated Security Systems, Inc. concentrates operations primarily on developing technology products for the security industry. Specifically, our goal is to provide a variety of products and services that will assist individuals, corporations and governments with cost effective, high quality technological security solutions. Current technology solutions include Location based services (CyberTracker), radiation detection (CyberRad), (CyberNoze) and an automated distribution and charging system for the CyberTracker (CyberPass). This collection of products is augmented with reseller agreements for robotics, under vehicle surveillance and glass protection, and explosive trace detection. We sell all of these products individually or as an integrated system.

In addition to the security portion of the business, Homeland Integrated Security Systems owns and operates three retail technology stores, operating under the name of Cyber Cynergy. The retail stores sell cellular telephony and data transfer services as well as a full range of computer sales and service.

We consummated a reverse merger with Second Colonial Mining and Engineering Co., a Canadian corporation, which merged into Homeland Integrated Security Systems, Inc., a Florida corporation, on August 10, 2004. In late 2004, HISC merged with BBI Computer Solutions, Inc. d/b/a Cyber Cynergy, and with C2, Inc., in stock transactions in which we issued a total of 250,000,000 restricted common shares for all of the issued and outstanding common stock of BBI and C2. Both were strategic acquisitions for our Company’s business.

We affected a 66.13 for one forward split in August, 2004.

Our principal executive offices are located at One Town Square Boulevard, Suite 347, Asheville, North Carolina 28803. The primary telephone number is (828) 681-5152

OUR BUSINESS

Since inception, we have been engaged in the business of developing and integrating security products designed with the most up-to-date, leading-edge hardware and software available. Our products create a seamless flow of information which benefits commercial carriers, while at the same time providing the highest degree of security.

We had revenues of $1,315,740 and a net loss of $227,102 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $855,215 in revenues and a net loss of $826,378 for the year ended December 31, 2004. In addition, as of September 30, 2005, we had available cash of $648,535, which is insufficient to continue our operations. Thus, we are dependent upon additional financing to conduct our operations over the next twelve months.

As of December 2, 2005, we have purchase orders amounting to $8.0 million. The products ordered have not been delivered.

HISC currently has a total of 29 employees, of which 15 employees are considered full time.

THE OFFERI NG

This offering relates to (a) the sale by us of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $.00001 par value, at an initial offering price of $.50 per share of common stock, (b) the sale by certain selling security holders of 27,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $.06 per share and (c) the sale by holders of options to purchase shares of common stock which are exercisable at $.10 per share of up to 60,000,000 shares underlying the options at a price of $.10 per share (such selling security holders and option holders who elect to exercise their options and sell the underlying common stock being the “selling security holders).”

We incurred a loss of $826,378 for the year ended December 31, 2004, and incurred a loss of $227,102 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. While we anticipate an improvement in the current year, there can be no assurances that we will not continue to have negative earnings results.

For the year ended December 31, 2004, our accumulated deficit was $1,031,240, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 we had an accumulated surplus of $2,501,926. The reduction in our accumulated deficit was due to financings, and there can be no assurances that such deficit will continue to decrease.

Our stock is considered to be “penny stock” within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on NASDAQ, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. Because our shares are subject to the penny stock rules, you may find it more difficult to sell your shares. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our stock.

·    Products purchased by Pro.Sec require an export license from the U.S. Department of Commerce for delivery. There is no guarantee that such license will be granted in a timely manner, which would require us to delay shipment of products to Pro.Sec.
 
·    We have a material reliance on Pro.Sec as a major customer of ours. This represents a concentration of credit risk. The loss of this customer could have a material negative effect on the future growth plans of our company.

RISK FACTO RS

AN INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OFFERED IN THIS PROSPECTUS INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. WE CANNOT ASSURE THAT WE WILL EVER GENERATE SIGNIFICANT REVENUES, DEVELOP OPERATIONS, OR MAKE A PROFIT.

We had a net loss from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 of $227,102. The net loss is attributable to an excess of expenses, principally research and development of our CyberTracker, over revenues, and to 181,818 common shares issued to an outside consultant, valued at the fair value of $10,000. There is a risk that we may not be profitable in the future.

We had a net loss from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 of ($227,102). We had a net loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 of ($684,637) and a net loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 of ($255,575). Our total stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2005 amounted to $2,501,926. We may not be profitable in the future or have a continued positive stockholders’ equity. The recent loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was primarily attributable to an excess of expenses, principally research and development of our CyberTracker, over revenues, and to 181,818 common shares issued to an outside consultant, valued at the fair value of $10,000.

Our business requires significant operating capital and there is a risk that we will be unable to obtain needed capital, which would require us to curtail our operations.

We presently have limited operating capital. Current revenue from our wholesale and distribution accounts is not sufficient to maintain our presence in the market, and we are dependent upon receipt of additional capital to expand our business as intended. This offering is comprised of selling security holders only; therefore no additional capital will come into Homeland Integrated Security Systems, Inc. as a result of that part of this offering. There is a risk that we will be unable to obtain additional capital when needed after this offering, which would require us to curtail our operations.

The industry in which we operate and the market for our services is characterized by rapid technological developments, evolving industry standards, and frequent new product and service introductions and enhancements . There is a risk that the introduction of new products and services by our competitors could render our existing services obsolete and unmarketable, especially because we can not afford to keep pace with our competition.

The industry in which we operate and the market for our services is characterized by rapid technological developments, evolving industry standards, and frequent new product and service introductions and enhancements. The development and introduction of new products and services by our competitors could render our existing services obsolete and unmarketable. Our business depends in significant part on its ability to continually improve the performance, features, and reliability of its motorcycle accessories and apparel products and services, and to modify its manufacturing operations to work with new technological standards in response to both evolving demand in the marketplace and competitive products and services. Our pursuit of improved performance, new features, and necessary technological advances will require substantial time and expense, and there can be no assurance that we will succeed in adapting its products to changing technology standards and customer requirements.
 

Because our stock is considered a penny stock any investment in our stock is considered to be a high-risk investment and is subject to restrictions on marketability.

Our Shares are "penny stocks" within the definition of that term as contained in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Our shares will then be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on certain broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock. These rules impose restrictions on the marketability of the common stock and may affect its market value.

We have substantial near-term capital needs, and we may be unable to obtain the additional funding in the capital markets needed to enable us to continue to operate in the future.

We do not have sufficient liquid assets to continue to operate HISC. Accordingly, we will seek additional outside sources of capital such as conventional bank financing; however, there can be no assurance that additional capital will be available on favorable terms to us. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to curtail operations.

If capital resources are insufficient to meet our future capital requirements, we may have to raise funds by a public offering to continue our operations. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity and/or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities could result in dilution to our shareholders and/or increased debt service commitments. If adequate funds are not available, we may be unable to sufficiently develop our operations to become profitable.

The homeland defense market is competitive and there are no substantial barriers to entry. We expect that competition will intensify and that new competitors will enter the market in the future. Our ability to compete depends on a number of factors, the failure of any number of which could cause us additional losses.

The homeland defense market is competitive and there are no substantial barriers to entry . We expect that competition will intensify and that new competitors will enter the market in the future. Increased competition will result in reduced profit margins on products. Homeland Integrated Security Systems, Inc. believes that its ability to compete successfully depends on a number of factors, including brand awareness and market presence; the quality of its advertising services; ease of use and timing of introductions of new products by Homeland Integrated Security Systems, Inc. and its competitors; our ability to establish co-marketing relationships; and industry and general economic trends. The failure of any number of these factors could cause us additional losses.

 
Our principal stockholders control our business affairs in which case you will have little or no participation in our business affairs.

Currently, our directors together own approximately 59.5% of our common stock. As a result, they will have significant influence over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders without the approval of minority stockholders. In addition, they will be able to elect all of the members of our Board of Directors, which will allow them to significantly control our affairs and management. They will also be able to affect most corporate matters requiring stockholder approval by written consent, without the need for a duly noticed and duly-held meeting of stockholders. As a result, they will have significant influence and control over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders. Accordingly, you will be limited in your ability to affect change in how we conduct our business.
 
We intend to expand its operations in technical areas with skilled, technical labor. If such labor is difficult to hire, we may incur serious delays and expenses in training non-technical labor.

We intend to expand its operations in technical areas, which demand skilled, technical labor. If such labor is difficult to identify and subsequently hire, we may be affected in materially adverse ways, including, among others, serious delays and expenses in training this non-technical labor or paying increased amounts to procure such labor.  

There is a very real risk that the shares will not trade at anywhere near the offering price after the offering is consummated because of the increased number of shares outstanding after the offering.

There is a very real risk that the shares will not trade at anywhere near the offering price after the offering is consummated because of the increased number of number of shares outstanding after the offering and the resulting dilution in ownership percentage.

We have never paid dividends on our common stock and you may never receive dividends. There is a risk that an investor in our company will never see a return on investment and the stock may become worthless.

We have never paid dividends on our common stock. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. Future dividend policy will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be contingent upon future earnings, if any, our financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors. Future dividends may also be affected by covenants contained in loan or other financing documents, which may be executed by us in the future. Therefore, there can be no assurance that cash dividends of any kind will ever be paid. If you are counting on a return on your investment in the common stock, the shares are a risky investment.
 

There is currently a limited market for our Common Stock.

There is currently a limited trading market for our shares of Common Stock, and there can be no assurance that a more substantial market will ever develop or be maintained. Any market price for shares of our Common Stock is likely to be very volatile, and numerous factors beyond our control may have a significant adverse effect. In addition, the stock markets generally have experienced, and continue to experience, extreme price and volume fluctuations which have affected the market price of many small capital companies and which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. These broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions, may also adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. Further, there is no correlation between the present limited market price of our Common Stock and our revenues, book value, assets or other established criteria of value. The present limited quotations of our Common Stock should not be considered indicative of the actual value of HISC or our Common Stock

Future sales of our common stock could put downward selling pressure on our shares, and adversely affect the stock price. There is a risk that this downward pressure may make it impossible for an investor to sell his shares at any reasonable price.

Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could put downward selling pressure on our shares, and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Such sales could be made pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as shares become eligible for sale under the Rule.

This offering is being conducted by our officers and directors; there is no minimum offering amount.

We intend to conduct this offering through our officers and directors who have no experience in selling securities. In addition, there is no minimum offering amount. While we do intend to continue the offering until all shares are sold, there can be no assurance that we will sell even a minimum number of shares. Should this happen, we will utilize other means of raising capital. Our ability to continue our growth will depend on our ability to raise capital from other sources.

An arbitrary determination of the offering price increases the risk that purchasers of the shares in the offering will pay more than the value the public market ultimately assigns to our common stock and more than an independent appraisal value of us.

The offering price for the shares was arbitrarily determined by our management. The offering price bears no relation to our assets, revenues, book value or other traditional criteria of value. Investors may be unable to resell their shares at or near the offering price, if they are able to resell the shares at all .

While Pro.Sec has paid $26,970 for one Quantum Sniffer unit so far, there can be no assurance that Pro.Sec will purchase, or arrange purchasers for, the remaining units specified in its purchase orders.

If Pro.Sec is unable to perform its obligations under the purchase orders, the $7.9 million in expected revenues which would have accrued to us will not materialize. However, we believe that Pro.Sec’s purchase orders constitute legally enforceable obligations. Based on our collaboration and sales demonstrations in the Middle East with Pro.Sec, management believes that Pro.Sec will have ready, willing and able buyers in the contracted amounts by the July 9, 2006 delivery date specified in the purchase orders.

 
Products purchased by Pro.Sec require an export license for delivery and there is a risk that such license will not be approved in a timely manner and would require us to delay shipment.

On August 7, 2005 we applied for an export license with the U.S. Department of Commerce and are currently awaiting approval of such license. However, there is no guarantee as to the length of time it will take the Department of Commerce to grant such export license for products being shipped to an end user in the Middle East, which would cause a delay in shipment of products to Pro.Sec. On July 9, 2005, we received a purchase order from Pro.Sec SARL, a Lebanese security company headed by General Pierre H. Georgiou, for 5,000 CyberTrackers in the amount of $2,499,950, and for 200 Quantum Sniffers in the amount of $5,400,000 for delivery on or before July 9, 2006. As announced on October 5, 2005, we received a payment from Pro.Sec in the amount of $26,970.20 as a deposit for the purchase of one demonstration unit of a Quantum Sniffer.

The loss of our major customer, Pro.Sec, could have an adverse effect on the future growth plans of our company.

We have a material reliance on Pro.Sec as a major customer of ours. This represents a concentration of credit risk. The loss of this customer could have a material negative effect on the future growth plans of our company.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

Our Common Stock is traded on the pink sheets under the symbol “HISC”. The offering price for the shares was arbitrarily determined by our management. The offering price bears no relation to our assets, revenues, book value or other traditional criteria of value.

DILUTI ON

At September 30, 2005, our net tangible book value was $2,501,926, or $.003 per share of common stock, with 756,139,998 shares issued and outstanding. Net tangible book value per share represents total tangible assets, less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding.

Assuming the sale of the 100,000,000 shares offered by us under this prospectus at a public offering price of $.50 per share, and the 60,000,000 shares offered upon conversion of the stock options at $.10 strike price per share, of which there is no assurance, and after deducting the estimated expenses of this offering, our pro forma net tangible book value, at September 30, 2005 would have been $58,457,163, or $.06 per share of common stock, with 916,139,998 shares issued and outstanding. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $.057 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $.44 per share to new investors participating in this offering, exclusive of the effects on the option holders. If HISC actually sells less than the full 160,000,000 shares it is offering, the dilution to purchasers will increase proportionately.
 

Purchasers of the shares will have paid $.50 per share for 100,000,000 shares, or 11 percent of issued and outstanding common stock, compared to an average price per share of $.06 paid in cash to HISC by existing stockholders for 756,139,998 shares, or 89 percent of the issued and outstanding common stock. The cash amount paid by existing stockholders does not include the value of services received.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES.

Our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws do not provide for indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents of the company. However, under Section 850(1) of Chapter 607 of Florida Revised Statutes, a corporation may indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents under certain circumstances, including indemnification of such persons against liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Those circumstances include that an officer, director, employee or agent may be indemnified if the person acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by our directors, officers or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceedings, is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with any securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issues.

From March 2005 to September 2005, we sold 749,628,827 shares of our common stock, $.0001 par value, between $.001-.10 per share to unrelated investors in what was a private placement within the meaning of the rules and regulations under the Securities Act. Aggregate proceeds amounted to $1,316,099. We relied upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act, and on comparable exemptions under state laws. We believe these exemptions were available because the issuances were made to accredited investors in transactions not involving a public offering and we provided investors with the disclosures required by Regulation D.

From April to June, 2005, we issued 267,853,158 shares of common stock to six investors for an aggregate of $956,454.00 in proceeds in an offering that was exempt from registration under Rule 504 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In the quarter ending September 30, 2005, we sold 1,095,000 shares of our Series C preferred stock, $.001 par value at $1.00 per share to unrelated investors in what was a private placement within the meaning of the rules and regulations under the Securities Act. Aggregate proceeds amounted to $1,095,000. We relied upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and on comparable exemptions under state laws. We believe this exemption was available because the issuances were made to accredited investors in transactions not involving a public offering and we provided investors with the appropriate disclosures. Also, we made this offering based on the following facts: (1) the issuance was in isolated private transactions which did not involve a public offering; (2) in each case there was only one offeree, (3) the offeree has agreed to the imposition of a restrictive legend on the face of the stock certificate representing its shares, to the effect that it will not resell the stock unless its shares are registered or an exemption from registration is available; (4) the offeree was a sophisticated investor; (5) there were no subsequent or contemporaneous public offerings of the stock; (6) the stock was not broken down into smaller denominations; and (7) the negotiations for the sale of the stock took place directly between the offeree and our management.

In September 2005, our board of directors and majority shareholders authorized a new class of Series C preferred stock. We filed amended articles of incorporation with the State of Florida thus creating ten million authorized Series C preferred shares whereby each share is convertible into one share of common stock at a 20% discount to market based upon the ten day average closing price.

During the third quarter of 2005, we issued 3,000,000 Series A preferred shares to each of Frank A. Moody, II, Brian D. Riley and Ian Riley in exchange for 291,350,000 common shares that were retired.

On September 1, 2005, we entered into various employment agreements with key personnel as follows.
 

Frank A. Moody, II, CEO, President and Director is employed as an executive in a principal executive and managerial capacity until July 31, 2012. After January 1, 2009, either Mr. Moody or us may, at any time terminate his employment subject to certain restrictions and conditions on four months prior written notice to the other party. The agreement can be renewed automatically for succeeding terms of three years each unless either party gives written notice to the other at least ninety days prior to the expiration of any term of Mr. Moody’s or our intention not to renew pursuant to our bylaws. Mr. Moody agrees that during the term of this contract and for a period of two years after termination of the employment agreement, he shall not directly or indirectly solicit, hire, recruit, or encourage any of our other employees. During the period of employment, we shall pay to him a salary to be fixed by the Board of Directors, from time to time, during that period. In no event, however, shall his salary be less than the compensation presently received by him. Currently and as of the date of the employment agreement, Mr. Moody is paid an annual compensation of One Hundred Twenty Thousand ($120,000) Dollars ($10,000 per month), and in addition, a bonus incentive package. However, at the discretion of the CEO, the CEO can elect to compensate Mr. Moody with three times the value of any salary withheld in stock options or can accrue one half of the salary in the form of a note with five (5%) percent annual interest. Executive will receive incentive compensation equal to two percent (2%) of our ''income from operations,'' defined as our net income before taxes, amortization of intangible assets and interest on long-term debt. Mr. Moody’s incentive compensation will be calculated annually based on our audited financial statements for the fiscal year, and wi1l be payable in lump sum on July 1 of each year. Such payments will be subject to normal payroll deductions for state and federal withholding and social security taxes. No incentive compensation will be paid to Mr. Moody for any year in which our income from operations is less than $25,000. In addition, for each fiscal year in which our net profits exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand ($250,000) Dollars or the net profits for that fiscal year exceed our net profits for the previous fiscal year by Fifteen (15%) percent, whichever is less, we agree to pay Mr. Moody, within three (3) months after the close of that fiscal year, an annual profit-sharing payment equal to Twelve and one half (12.5%) percent of that excess, provided, however, that the total amount of this payment shall not exceed One Million ($1,000,000) Dollars. For purposes of this subparagraph, the “net profits” shall be the net profits as reflected on either the audited financials or our tax returns, whichever value for the net profits is less. Finally, we also agree to transfer to Mr. Moody each year during the term of employment, within one month after the close of each fiscal year during all of which the Executive served as our President, the number of our shares stock equal in value to One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) Dollars. For the purpose of determining the number of shares to be transferred to Mr. Moody, the shares shall be valued, as of the close of each fiscal year, under one of the following formulas: (i) if we are not publicly traded then the value of each share shall be equal to One ($1.00) Dollar; or (ii) if we are publicly traded then the value of each share shall computed at a fifteen (15%) percent discount to market based upon an average of the previous ten (10) day closing bid price. Furthermore, we granted Mr. Moody an option to purchase Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.10 per share per year. This option may be exercised in whole or in part, but may only be exercised in lots of Twenty Five Thousand (25,000) shares. Mr. Moody shall not have any of the rights of, nor be treated as, a shareholder with respect to the shares subject to this option until Mr. Moody has exercised the option and has become the shareholder of record of those shares. This option is not assignable. This option may only be exercised by Mr. Moody during the term of Mr. Moody’s employment hereunder. However, in the event that the employment term is terminated by us for reasons other than for cause, Mr. Moody shall retain the right to exercise any unused portion of the option until either the day on which this agreement would have terminated naturally or two years from the date of termination, whichever is earlier.

For the purpose of determining the number of shares to be transferred to Mr. Riley, the shares shall be valued, as of the close of each fiscal year, under one of the following formulas: (i) if we are not publicly traded then the value of each share shall be equal to One ($1.00) Dollar; or (ii) if we are publicly traded then the value of each share shall computed at a fifteen (15%) percent discount to market based upon an average of the previous ten (10) day closing bid price. Furthermore, we granted Mr. Riley an option to purchase Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.10 per share per year. This option may be exercised in whole or in part, but may only be exercised in lots of Twenty Five Thousand (25,000) shares. Mr. Riley shall not have any of the rights of, nor be treated as, a shareholder with respect to the shares subject to this option until Mr. Riley has exercised the option and has become the shareholder of record of those shares. This option is not assignable. This option may only be exercised by Mr. Riley during the term of Mr. Riley’s employment hereunder. However, in the event that the employment term is terminated by us for reasons other than for cause, Mr. Riley shall retain the right to exercise any unused portion of the option until either the day on which this agreement would have terminated naturally or two years from the date of termination, whichever is earlier.

All of the promissory notes above, collectively totaling $995,000 were converted by the creditor in October of 2005 into 995,000 shares of Series C preferred stock.

During the third quarter of 2005, we issued 181,818 shares of our common stock to Steven Goodman for professional consulting services. We valued the common shares at the market value of these services, yielding an aggregate amount of $10,000. This amount was included under operating expenses in our financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2005.
 

During the third quarter of 2005, the officers and directors exchanged common stock they owned for preferred shares of our stock. The officers and directors did this because they believed there were too many shares of common stock issued and outstanding prior to the exchange and they wanted to place an appropriate valuation on our company at such time.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSIN ESS

Company History

We consummated a reverse merger with Second Colonial Mining and Engineering Co., a Canadian corporation, which merged into Homeland Integrated Security Systems, Inc., a Florida corporation, on August 10, 2004. In late 2004, HISC merged with BBI Computer Solutions, Inc. d/b/a Cyber Cynergy, and with C2, Inc., in stock transactions in which we issued a total of 250,000,000 restricted common shares for all of the issued and outstanding common stock of BBI and C2. Both were strategic acquisitions for our Company’s business.

HISC affected a 66.13 for one forward split in August, 2004.

Overview

We are a high technology company that has evolved to meet the challenge of improving security for customers in diverse markets. We have developed integrated systems for their proposed use in national and International sea port, airports, train stations, military and government facilities, school districts, commercial buildings, law enforcement agencies and inter-modal carriers.

We have a retail division which provides technology solutions including cellular services, data transmissions, networking and custom computer solutions.

We utilize contractual relationships with Sprint/Nextel and Cingular to provide “leading edge” technology for its unique applications.

Our Corporate Structure

We are a “C” corporation for Federal income tax purposes, and were incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida. Its common stock currently is publicly traded on the pink sheets under ticker symbol HISC.

Our Business Plan

Our business plan includes the offering of security technology and products. Our target markets include the Military, Sea Ports, Airports, Rail Roads, School Systems, Transportation Fleets, Commercial and Public buildings, Law Enforcement, International Buyers, and Consumers. In addition to its security related products which currently do not generate any revenues, we generate revenue through a chain of Cingular branded Cellular stores which it has owned for several years.
 

Services and Products

We have developed its prototypes for its security products that it plans to sell either as modular systems that can be applied as a complete integrated system or any combination of separate modules. These modules can be used in various applications. The following are the major HISC modules:

·  
Radiation monitoring for a variety of applications
·  
Real-time asset and human resource tracking
·  
Geo fencing and secure area protection
·  
Explosive material detection and handling
·  
Consumer wireless phones and tracking devices

HISC   Brands

The “CYBER” product brand will be the family name for all of the HISC products. At the present time, HISC does not have the brand name trademarked, although it has plans to pursue a trademark application in the future. The following trademark applications will be sought.

·  
CYBERTRACKER
·  
CYBERPASS
·  
CYBERNOZE
·  
CYBERRAD

CyberTracker

We plan to market a proven system for the monitoring and real time tracking of fixed, as well as moving assets and human resources in an unlimited number of specific applications. Our unique CyberTracker (patent pending), is a 5 inch square by 1 inch thick battery powered GPS device that utilizes Motorola technology as well as proprietary electronics and software that are manufactured for us by Arcom Control Systems, Inc. A CyberTracker can be placed in an entering vehicle, other asset, or given to a human resource. A customized software application tracks the desired object or person on a custom developed computerized map in any number of on or off site locations. Administratively defined criteria (e.g. speed, location, stopping time and route designation) can be set so that a series of alarms can be triggered if the criteria are violated.
“Geo fencing” is a characteristic of the CyberTracker. This feature allows the administrator to define specific areas that can be determined as “off limits” and as such will trigger alarms if the assigned CyberTracker enters the defined space. The reverse can also be used by “fencing” a vehicle or asset inside a defined area. It is also capable of providing position reports at predetermined intervals ranging from minutes to hours.

The alarming system can notify the individual monitoring the computer screen by an audible alarm or a variety of other short or long distance calls to any land line phone, cell phone or pager. The CyberTracker wirelessly transmits its information and data over a variety of secured networks. Remote monitoring from multiple locations simultaneously is also available.

The CyberTracker is manufactured for HISC by Arcom Control Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of a publicly traded British company pursuant to a design, engineering and manufacturing agreement. The terms of that Agreement provide that pursuant to the Functional Design Specification document, Arcom will provide engineering and manufacturing of the CyberTracker.

CyberPass

HISC is developing a unique dispenser for use in conjunction with its CyberTracker. HISC has commenced the process of applying for a patent on the dispensing and unique charging system and can be used in a variety of applications where access control is desired. Ports, military bases, truck depots are just some of the potential uses for CyberPass.

CyberNoze

The Quantum Sniffer, manufactured by Implant Sciences Corporation and distributed by the CyberNoze division employs a novel technology for the detection of explosives vapors that is more sensitive than existing detection devices. The advanced technique detects the presence of parts per trillion (ppt) of explosives molecules, without physical contact and in real time. The unique "tornado" sample acquisition system collects the sample, ionizes it and identifies the sample via standard ion mobility technology. If an explosive is present, it will produce a visual and audible alarm. The LCD will display the identity of the explosive present and the audible alarm can be switched off, if required.

The Quantum Sniffer   Portable Explosives Trace Detector was developed by Implant Sciences Corporation in conjunction with the U.S. military and is distributed by the CyberNoze division of HISC pursuant to a standard distribution agreement. The device is capable of detecting trace amounts of most commercial and military explosives.
 

The Quantum Sniffer is manufactured by Implant Sciences Corporation, and HISC is one of its licensed distributors. HISC and Implant Sciences Corporation are parties to an exclusive distribution agreement in which HISS has the exclusive rights to sell the Quantum Sniffer in Lebonan and other countries on a case by case basis. Because this is a license to resell, HISS has no business risk due to the fact that we can cancel the agreement and pick up other competing products if needed.

CyberRad

The CyberRad Gamma Radiation sensor is a very low power, highly-sensitive radiation monitor that can detect the radiation from such potential "dirty-bomb" candidates as Cobalt 60, Cesium 137 and Iridium 192. These substances are highly radioactive, yet readily available as a result of their use in medical and industrial applications.

The CyberRad sensor is controlled by a powerful on-board microprocessor, and can optionally be equipped with 512 Kbytes of log memory for storing sensor conditions over long periods of time. Data can be polled via the RS-485 bus, or via communications systems such as active RFID, GSM (cellular), or Iridium® satellite systems. The CyberRad sensor is manufactured by DukePro in conjunction with Homeland Integrated Security Systems. CyberRad   is extremely versatile and can be utilized in a variety of applications such as radiation portals for vehicles and human resources, building entrances, and seaport cranes to mention a few. The CyberRad system is unique radiation detection system that can be linked together to provide an array of field coverage that does not exist in any other product currently on the market.

Other Products

We are constantly searching new opportunities in security technology and products. HISC’s strategy is to offer our market segments a variety of products to improve security. We are currently evaluating a number of new products and will be adding these new products in the near future.

In addition, we are developing a Middle Eastern sales presence. We have developed a strategic relationship with a Lebanon-based security company named Pro.Sec. Through the joint efforts of the two companies, we are marketing its products to a variety of Middle Eastern countries. We believe with the recent political events that our timing and presence will allow us to increase our sales potential.

Retail Division

The CYBER CYNERGY division currently operates three mobile telephone and computer stores in Western North Carolina. The stores offer both Cingular and Sprint/Nextel equipment and service. The CYBER CYNERGY stores are also the authorized phone repair centers for these brands in Western North Carolina. The stores offer a full line of name brand computers and repair services in both the home and office. During 2004, this division created $1.2 million in sales. HISC is looking at new and innovative ways to address the consumer market. During 2006, HISC intends to expand its consumer products and technology offerings and utilize new functions on the CyberTracker.
 

Marketing and Distribution Strategy

HISC intends to expand and market both divisions, Retail, Commercial Technology during 2005. The Retail division has plans to expand the number of CYBER CYNERGY stores in North Carolina. The Commercial Technology Division will concentrate its efforts on demonstrating its technology solutions to the previously identified market segments.

The CYBER PORT system will target the 286 seaports in the United States as well as the Great Lakes ports and the Rivers and Waterways ports. HISC has applied for Safety Act registration for their CYBER PORT system, which will result in Department of Homeland Security validation. Following the Savannah port project, HISC intends to demonstrate their System’s capability at one or more Florida seaports. In addition HISC will provide on-going presentations and demonstrations to both government and private sector customers as well as investors.

Public safety and international security continue to be a global concern due to the threat of international terrorism. The number of incidents involving passengers and the smuggling of dangerous goods, including radioactive materials, is constantly testing border, port and airport security.  This is particularly true of our nation’s ports.

The Department of Homeland Security has provided grants of more than $500 million dollars since 2001 to make our ports safer. To date only about one-fourth of these funds have been spent. In addition, a new round of funding is starting to replace much of the initial technology and products that were purchased by ports, cities and government agencies. These factors provide an opportunity for HISC to grow.

In addition to seaports, our airports, rail and bus stations require many of the products that HISC provides. Our products provide security solutions for military bases, government buildings, school districts and commercial operations.

The increasing concern for family security is another strong market for HISC. The CyberTracker provides families with the security of knowing where loved ones are, talking with the Push-to-Talk feature, and protecting them from restricted areas.

Markets that offer HISC rapid growth opportunities:

·  
Sea, river and Great Lake ports
·  
Airports, bus and rail stations
·  
Military bases
·  
Commercial truck carriers
·  
Equipment rental fleets
·  
Commercial and Federal office buildings
·  
Federal and State agencies
·  
Fire and police departments
·  
School districts
·  
Personal protection
·  
Retail cell phones
·  
Consumer electronics

 
International Marketing Strategy

HISC intends to market its products and services to the European, Middle Eastern, Canadian, Mexican, South American and Caribbean markets in the short term.

Long-term, HISC intends to market its products and services to broad international markets, especially ports of U.S. trading partners. This will be accomplished through the development of an international sales force.

Research and Development

We anticipates budgeting 40% of its revenues for R&D so as to keep their products and technology “cutting edge”.

Competition

There are numerous companies that produce security technology and products for the diverse markets HISC serves. These competitors vary significantly in size, product offering and markets served. The following is presented as an example of competitor in HISC markets. There are many others.

Lorantec Systems, Inc. is the first information technology company to provide ubiquitous, real-time location tracking and monitoring of cargo and equipment assets worldwide. Lorantec’s flagship LoranTrack™ service delivers a powerful and economical ITV solution that combines intelligent asset tracking and monitoring devices using GPS, Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations, and powerful web-based reporting and event notification software. Headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, U.S.A., Lorantec’s unique, integrated approach leverages a wide range of proprietary technology advancements that optimize ITV and help lower transportation providers' operating costs, boost asset utilization and increase security.

For our Commercial Division, there are a number of competitors, but by-in-large they are fragmented and few offer the comprehensive integrated security solutions that our products will offer when they are brought to market. We have the advantage because it is primarily a system integrator and experienced in taking products produced by various manufacturers and integrating the parts with legacy hardware and software to provide custom solutions for commercial and governmental users and operators of ports and transportation hubs.
 

On the Retail Division side, we are currently unaware of a product that competes directly with our CyberTracker. HISC has several patents pending which may slow down competition, but it is very aware that success will breed copycats and look-a-likes. Therefore we intends to use our Technology Division to stay on top of technology and to build a brand name to allow greater than normal profits regardless of competition.

HISC

We consummated a reverse merger of Second Colonial Mining and Engineering Co., a Canadian corporation, into Homeland Integrated Security Systems, Inc., a Florida corporation, on August 10, 2004. In late 2004, HISC merged with BBI Computer Solutions, Inc. d/b/a Cyber Cynergy, a technology company with a unique wireless tracking device called the CyberTracker, and with C2, Inc., in stock transactions in which we issued a total of 250,000,000 restricted common shares for all of the issued and outstanding common stock of BBI and C2. Both were strategic acquisitions for our business.
 

Results of Operations

For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 and for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.

Sales
 
Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $1,315,740 versus sales of $640,058 for the same period in 2004, an increase of 105%. Sales for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $855,215 versus sales of $999,081 for the year ended December 31, 2003, a decrease of 14%. We attribute the increase in sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to twenty earned purchase orders of our CyberNoze product in the third quarter of 2005. We did not have this product available for sale at any time during 2004 and this product is in addition to our stores that offer wireless phones and related accessories and service. We also attribute the increase in sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to an additional earned purchase order relating to school bus safety in Knox County Tennessee. We attribute the decrease in sales for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2003 to the closure of retail stores in 2004 that were previously open in 2003. These closures occurred prior to our acquisition of BBI Computer Solutions, Inc. in December of 2004. Product sales consisted primarily of consumer wireless phones and related accessories. The stores offer both Cingular Wireless and Nextel equipment and service. We are also an authorized repair center for phone equipment and our stores offer these services to area consumers.

All revenues were from unrelated third parties and were made to retail consumers.

Cost of Goods Sold

The cost of goods sold includes the purchase price for our wireless phones and accessories plus other direct costs associated with repairing the products for consumers. It is customary to experience variations in the cost of sales as a percentage of net sales based on the types of products sold. Our gross margins typically range between 55%-60% for wireless equipment and related accessories and service.
 
The cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $481,612 versus $259,024 for the same period in 2004. The cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $386,811 versus $408,713 in the same period in 2003. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was 37%, and for nine months ended September 30, 2004 was 40%. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the year ended December 31, 2004 was 45%, and for the year ended December 31, 2004 was 41%. This is relatively consistent from one year to the next and falls within a reasonable range of our expectations.
 
 
We expect cost of sales as a percentage of sales for wireless phones and related accessories and for repair services to average around 45% of total sales for fiscal year 2005 as these products and services’ margins have been developed. For example, the retail prices of our wireless products and related accessories and services to our consumers will continue to include a standard mark-up to our cost from the manufacturers. If we can successfully grow our revenues through sales of higher margin products, our cost of sales as a percentage of sales should be lower in future periods. In addition, volume discounts could be available to us if we are successful in achieving sales growth in the future, which will further reduce our cost of sales as a percentage of sales.

Expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were $1,049,722 and $476,114, respectively, an increase of $573,608 or 121%. The increase in expenses was primarily attributable to common stock issued for professional services during the 2005 period. During the period ended September 30, 2005, we issued to A-Z Consulting, Inc. 19,000,000 shares of our common stock for professional services which were valued at the market price at the date of issuance, or $57,000. Although we did not incur such other significant non-cash expenses in the 2005 period, we had approximately $400,000 in other increases during the period that were primarily from payroll for our officers who began working after the reverse merger towards the end of 2004 and additional overhead from opening our new additional office facility in Asheville, North Carolina.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were $1,153,041 and $845,942, respectively, an increase of $307,099 or 36%. The increase was also primarily attributable to new services performed by our officers after the reverse merger and listing on the pink sheets. One other notable expense account difference during the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to 2003 was attributable to an additional general payroll and related payroll tax accrual of $200,000 in 2004.
 
Our other selling, general and administrative expenses remained either fixed or relatively constant during 2005.
 
We expect increases in expenses through the year 2006 as we move towards developing our business plan of growing the CyberTracker, CyberNoze and CyberRad and other related product lines. We expect the increase to be primarily in sales related expenses such as advertising and salespersons' salaries.

Income/ Losses
 
Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $227,102 versus a loss of $95,080 in the same period in 2004, a decrease of $132,022. The increase in net loss was primarily attributable to our increase in professional fees relating to the aforementioned common shares issued for professional services as mentioned above.
 
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $826,378 versus $270,193 in 2003, an increase of $556,185. The increase was also primarily attributable to the above mentioned increase in expenses in 2004 compared to 2003. We expect to continue to incur losses at least through the year 2005. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will achieve or maintain profitability or that our revenue growth can be sustained in the future.
 

Impact of Inflation

We believe that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations since inception. We believe that we can offset inflationary increases in the cost of labor by increasing sales and improving operating efficiencies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash flows used in operations were $1,586,952 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 versus cash used in operations of $27,684 in 2004. Cash flows used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were primarily from a net loss of $227,102, less the affects of a $161,000 in fair market value of issuances of common and preferred stock for professional and other services in 2005, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $176,912, capitalized software in 2005 in the amount of $995,752, an increase in inventory of $559,847. Cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were primarily attributable to a net loss from operations of $95,080 less an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $65,954.
 
Cash flows used in operations were $99,288 for the year ended December 31, 2004 versus cash flows used in operations of $160,095 in 2003. Cash flows used in operations for both years were primarily attributable to our aforementioned net loss from operations partially offset by the increase in accounts payable and other liabilities.
 
Cash flows used in investing activities were $81,386 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 versus $-0- during the same comparable period in 2004 which was attributable to purchases of property and equipment including leasehold improvements in 2005. Cash flows used in investing activities were $-0- for the year ended December 31, 2004 versus $-0- during the same comparable period in 2004 which was attributable to purchases of property and equipment including leasehold improvements in 2003.

Cash flows for the 2003 period were $-0-.
 
Cash flows generated from financing activities were a positive $140,352 for the year ended December 31, 2004 versus $25,165 for the year ended December 31, 2003. Cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2004 included $495,547 in proceeds from sales of common stock to various individual investors pursuant to a private offering. Cash flows from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2004 included repayments on loans of $355,195. Cash flows from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2003 included debt borrowings of $25,165.
 

Notes Payable

We have four unsecured notes payable bearing interest between -0-% to 6.5% at September 30, 2005, which are due at various dates through February 5, 2009. The principal balance outstanding at September 30, 2005 was $564,866.

We estimate we will need approximately $1,000,000 in additional capital during 2005 in order to complete our product development and, in turn, generate sales of our new products such as our CyberTracker, Quantum Sniffer and CyberRad. This offering is intended to address that problem. If revenues continue to increase during 2005, we may have sufficient cash flow from operations. During the nine-months ended September 30, 2005, we had a negative $1,586,952 in cash flow used in operations.
 
Overall, we have funded our cash needs from inception through September 30, 2005, with a series of equity transactions and debt transactions primarily with related parties. With this equity financing, we are attempting to raise capital from unrelated third parties. The failure of this equity financing could have a material adverse effect on operations and financial condition.
 
We had cash on hand of $648,535 and working capital of $2,094,760 as of September 30, 2005. We had cash on hand of $10,147 and a working capital deficit of $125,624 as of September 30, 2004. Our working capital is primarily due to inventory, capitalized software, cash and accounts receivable less current obligations in accounts payable and accrued expenses and the current portion of notes payable. We will substantially rely on the existence of revenue from our business; however, we have no current or projected capital reserves that will sustain our business for the next 12 months. Currently, we have enough cash to fund our operations for about six months. This is based on current cash flows from operations and projected revenues. Also, if the projected revenues fall short of needed capital we may not be able to sustain our capital needs. We will then need to obtain additional capital through equity or debt financing to sustain operations for an additional year. A lack of significant revenues in 2006 will significantly affect our cash position and move us towards a position where the raising of additional funds through equity or debt financing, such as the current offering, will be necessary. Our current level of operations would require capital of approximately $1,000,000 to sustain operations through year 2006. Modifications to our business plans or a new retail location may require additional capital for us to operate. For example, if we are unable to raise additional capital in this current offering we may need to curtail our number of new product offerings or limit our marketing efforts to the most profitable geographical areas. This may result in lower revenues and market share for HISC. In addition, there can be no assurance that additional capital in the future will be available to us when needed or available on terms favorable to HISC.
 
On a long-term basis, liquidity is dependent on continuation and expansion of operations, receipt of revenues, and additional infusions of capital and debt financing. We are currently opening new product markets such as CyberTracker, CyberNoze and CyberRad. Our current capital and revenues are insufficient to fund such expansion. If we choose to launch such an expansion campaign, we will require substantially more capital. The funds raised from this offering will also be used to market our products and services as well as expand operations and contribute to working capital. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional equity or debt financing in the future, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital, our growth potential will be adversely affected and we will have to significantly modify our plans. For example, if we unable to raise sufficient capital to develop our business plan, we may need to:
 

·  
Curtail present product launches
·  
Forego or postpone opening new product lines, or
·  
Limit our future marketing efforts to areas that we believe would be the most profitable.
 
Demand for the products and services will be dependent on, among other things, market acceptance of our products and general economic conditions, which are cyclical in nature. Inasmuch as a major portion of our activities is the receipt of revenues from the sales of our products, our business operations may be adversely affected by our competitors and prolonged recession periods.

Dividends

We have not previously paid any cash dividends on its common stock and do not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. It is the present intention of management to retain any earnings to provide funds for the operation and expansion of our business. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operation, financial condition, contractual and legal restrictions and other factors the board of directors deem relevant.

Penny Stock Characterization

Our Shares are "penny stocks" within the definition of that term as contained in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Our shares will then be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on certain broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock. These will impose restrictions on the marketability of the common stock.

Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or "accredited investor" must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt. Generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $5,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 individually or $300,000 together with his or her spouse is considered an accredited investor. In addition, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the Registered Representative and current bid and offer quotations for the securities. In addition a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer's account, the account’s value and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks. As a result of these regulations, the ability of broker-dealers to sell our stock may affect the Selling Stockholders or other or other holders seeking to sell their shares in the secondary market. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction.

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may be adversely affected, with concomitant adverse affects on the price of our securities.

There are 60,000,000 outstanding options to purchase shares of our common stock.

Agreements to Register

Not applicable.
 

Shares Eligible for Future Sale

Upon effectiveness of this registration statement, the 187,000,000 shares of common stock sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933, except for any shares held by our "affiliates", which will be restricted by the resale limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933.

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, any of our affiliates and any person or persons whose sales are aggregated who has beneficially owned his or her restricted shares for at least one year, may be entitled to sell in the open market within any three-month period a number of shares of common stock that does not exceed the greater of (i) 1% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock, or (ii) the average weekly trading volume in the common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also affected by limitations on manner of sale, notice requirements, and availability of current public information about us. Non-affiliates who have held their restricted shares for two years may be entitled to sell their shares under Rule 144 without regard to any of the above limitations, provided they have not been affiliates for the three months preceding such sale.

Further, Rule 144A as currently in effect, in general, permits unlimited resales of restricted securities of any issuer provided that the purchaser is an institution that owns and invests on a discretionary basis at least $100 million in securities or is a registered broker-dealer that owns and invests $10 million in securities. Rule 144A allows our existing stockholders to sell their shares of common stock to such institutions and registered broker-dealers without regard to any volume or other restrictions. Unlike under Rule 144, restricted securities sold under Rule 144A to non-affiliates do not lose their status as restricted securities.

Currently, approximately 7,697,400 shares of our common stock are available for sale in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144. Additionally, future sales of stock owned by our affiliates may be permitted according to Rule 144. The availability for sale of substantial amounts of common stock under Rule 144 could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our securities.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 
NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring accruals considered necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position at September 30, 2005 and the results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2005.

Management’s Use of Estimates - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts of financial instruments including other current assets, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximated fair value because of the immediate short-term maturity of these instruments.

Income Taxes - Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of certain assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting and net operating loss-carry forwards. Deferred taxes represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.

The income tax benefit consists of taxes currently refundable due to net operating loss carry back provisions less the effects of accelerated depreciation for the federal government. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share - The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No.128. This statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the loss per share computations. Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average shares of common outstanding. If applicable, diluted earnings per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all common stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. Accordingly, this presentation has been adopted for the periods presented. There were no

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONT’D)

Earnings (Loss) Per Share (Cont’d)
adjustments required to net income for the period presented in the computation of diluted earnings per share. There were no common stock equivalents (CSE) necessary for the computation of diluted loss per share.

Fixed Assets - Fixed assets are recorded at cost and include expenditures that substantially increase the productive lives of the existing assets. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated over the management prescribed recovery periods, which range from 5 years for equipment to 7 years for furniture and fixtures.

When a fixed asset is disposed of, its cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. The difference between undepreciated cost and proceeds from disposition is recorded as a gain or loss.

Advertising Costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company does not incur any direct-response advertising costs.

Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized when products are shipped or at point-of-sale in the stores i.e. when earned and measurable and when services are performed.

Comprehensive Income (Loss) - The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” , which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. There were no items of comprehensive income (loss) applicable to the Company during the year covered in the consolidated financial statements.

Long-Lived Assets - In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.121 “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of” , the carrying value of long-lived assets is reviewed by management on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that may suggest impairment. To date, no such impairment has been indicated. Should there be impairment in the future; the Company will recognize the amount of the impairment based on discounted expected consolidated future cash flows from the impaired assets.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Uninsured Deposits - At various times during the period, the Company maintained a bank account balance that exceeded federally insured limits.

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONT’D)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities". FIN No. 46 requires the consolidation of entities that cannot finance their activities without the support of other parties and that lack certain characteristics of a controlling interest, such as the ability to make decisions about the entity's activities via voting rights or similar rights. The entity that consolidates the variable interest entity is the primary beneficiary of the entity's activities. FIN No. 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and must be applied in the first period beginning after June 15, 2003 for entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest entity that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

In January 2003, the EITF released Issue No. 00-21, ("EITF 00-21"), "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliveries", which addressed certain aspects of the accounting by a vendor for arrangement under which it will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. Specifically, EITF 00-21 addresses whether an arrangement contains more than one unit of accounting and the measurement and allocation to the separate units of accounting in the arrangement. EITF 00-21 is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

In   May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how companies classify and measure certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires companies to classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. The standard did not impact the Company's financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". SFAS No. 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SGAS 123(R) requires that the fair value of such equity instruments be recognized as expense in the historical financial statements as services are performed. Prior to SFAS 123(R), only certain pro-forma disclosures of fair value were required. SFAS 123(R) shall be effective for the Company as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this new accounting

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 
NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONT’D)

pronouncement is expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company commencing with the third quarter of the year ending September 30, 2006. Small business issuers need not comply with the new standard until fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company already records the expense of employee stock options for annual and quarterly periods on fair value calculation according to SFAS No.123.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs” (SFAS 151). This Statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). SFAS 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of SFAS No. 151 are effective for inventory costs incurred in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.

In December 2003, the issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition,” rescinded the accounting guidance contained in SAB No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” and incorporated the body of previously issued guidance related to multiple-element revenue arrangements. The Company’s adoption of SAB No. 104 did not have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2004, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments” (“EITF 03-1”), but delayed the recognition and measurement provisions of EITF 03-1 in September 2004. For reporting periods beginning after June 14, 2004, only the disclosure requirements for available-for-sale securities and cost method investments are required. The Company’s adoption of the requirements did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated disclosures.

In July 2004, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 02-14, “Whether an Investor Should Apply the Equity Method of Accounting to Investments Other than Common Stock” (“EITF 02-14”). EITF 02-14 requires application of the equity method of accounting when an investor is able to exert significant influence over operating and financial policies of an investee through ownership of common stock or in-substance common stock. EITF 02-14 is effective for reporting periods beginning after September 15, 2004. The adoption of EITF 02-14 will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2—STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company issued 4,500,000 convertible preferred shares to officers and directors for services rendered. The shares are convertible into common stock at a rate of one preferred share into 100 common shares and were valued based on the market prices at the time of issuances, or an aggregate of $151,000. The common shares that were originally issued were converted into preferred shares by the Company’s officers and directors.

NOTE 2—STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (CONT’D)

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company issued 749,628,827 common shares in exchange for $1,316,099 pursuant to a private stock offering.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company issued 20,654,167 Series B preferred shares in exchange for 103,270,835.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company issued 181,818 common shares in exchange for services rendered in the amount of $10,000.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company issued 100,000 Series C preferred shares in exchange for $100,000 pursuant to a private stock offering.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company issued 995,000 Series C preferred shares in exchange for conversion of notes payable for which the issuance of the notes originally generated cash proceeds to the Company in the amount of $995,000.

NOTE 3—PURCHASE ORDERS

The Company received an order for the patent-pending CyberTracker. The blanket purchase order was issued by Pro.Sec, a Middle Eastern security company, for 5,000 CyberTrackers at a base price of $499.99 per unit. The order translates to $2.5 million in revenue backlog for the hardware, which does not include subsequent fees for the software and service. The Company expects to begin shipments to Pro.Sec in the fourth quarter of 2005.
 
Through this sale, the Company has entered a worldwide market for the CyberTracker. The newest version of the CyberTracker will be able to operate on a GSM network, which is available in more than 170 countries worldwide, including the United States.
 
In addition to the aforementioned purchase order, the Company received another blanket purchase order from Pro.Sec to purchase over $5.5 million of explosives detection equipment. The explosives detection equipment is distributed in the Middle East through the Company’s CyberNoze security division. Pro.Sec is expected to use the CyberNoze promoted explosives detection equipment for security and protection of commercial buildings and government installations. This significant order for explosives detection equipment is in addition to the recently announced $2.5 million purchase order from Pro.Sec for the Company's patent pending CyberTracker security device and is added to the backlog for future revenue recognition. See also “Risk Factors” section, beginning on page 10, for other decision useful information regarding these purchase orders.

NOTE 3—PURCHASE ORDERS (CONT’D

The Company received a commitment from an unrelated party during this period to provide the Company with commercial financing services. This entity will provide the Company with purchase order and receivables financing as orders are obtained.

NOTE 4—SIGNIFICANT CONTRACT

The Company, a leading provider of wireless security solutions and products for the national security industry, executed an exclusive distributor agreement with Implant Sciences Corporation (AMEX:IMX) for the marketing, distribution, and service of Implant's revolutionary Quantum Sniffer handheld and desktop explosives detection equipment. The Quantum Sniffer will be distributed through the Company’s CyberNoze security division. The Company has taken delivery of units for introduction into its exclusive territory of Lebanon, and will seek to expand the geographic presence of the CyberNoze promoted explosives detection product throughout the Middle East.
 
Implant's Quantum Sniffer technology is differentiated from competitive products as a result of being a non-contact device that detects most explosives vapors directly, as opposed to hand wiping of all trace explosives particles, as competitive products presently do. In countries such as Lebanon, having regional instability and anti-terrorism issues, CyberNoze will promote this technology for use in the detection of trace residues of explosives materials for aviation and transportation security, protection of high threat facilities, infrastructure, customs and border protection, and cargo screening.

NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business Activity —Homeland Integrated Security Systems and Subsidiary was incorporated in the state of Florida on August 10, 2004. In 2004, the predecessor company to Homeland Integrated Security System, Inc., J.T.T. In late 2004, Homeland Integrated Security Systems, Inc. merged with BBI Computer Solutions, Inc. d/b/a Cyber Cynergy, a technology company with a unique wireless tracking device called CyberTracker. Homeland Integrated Security Systems, Inc. (The Company) is a high technology company that has evolved to meet the challenge of elevating security for The United States and its trading partners while at the same time improving commerce. The Company provides integrated systems to National and International Port Authorities, airports, train stations, military, and government facilities and inter-modal carriers. The Company also has a retail division which provides technology solutions including cellular services, data transmissions, networking and custom computer solutions. The Company utilizes strategic partnerships to provide state-of-the art technology for its unique applications.

Cash and Cash Equivalents —For purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Management’s Use of Estimates —The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition —The Company’s revenue is recognized when products are shipped or at point-of-sale in the stores. Revenue is recognized when earned and measurable and when services are performed.

Capitalized Software —The Company’s capitalized software assets include certain external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing internal-use software. These costs include payroll and payroll-related costs for employees and contractors who are directly associated with and who devote time to the internal-use computer software project (to the extent of the item spent directly on the project) during the application development stage. Training costs, data conversion costs, internal costs for upgrades and enhancements, and internal costs incurred for maintenance are all expensed as incurred. General and administrative costs and overhead costs are also expensed as incurred. The assets will commence amortization when the asset is considered to be in the post-implementation phase (i.e. when the development of internal use software is completed). This post-implementation phase has yet to be determined.

NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

Comprehensive Income (Loss) —The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” , which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. There were no items of comprehensive income (loss) applicable to the Company during the periods covered in the consolidated financial statements.

Advertising Costs —advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company does not incur any direct-response advertising costs. Advertising expense totaled $1,203 and $ for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Net Loss per Common Share —Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 128 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS computations. Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding. If applicable, diluted earnings per share would assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. Accordingly, this presentation has been adopted for the period presented. There were no adjustments required to net loss for the period presented in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Income Taxes —Income taxes are provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss-carryforwards.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that, and some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments —The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable and payable approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Accounts Receivable —Accounts deemed uncollectible are written off in the year they become uncollectible. No receivables were deemed uncollectible as of December 31, 2004.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets —The Company evaluated the recoverability of its property and equipment, and other assets in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of” which requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such

NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (Cont’d)
assets exceed the estimated future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets or the business to which such intangible assets relate.

Property and Equipment —Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the property and equipment remaining from five to seven years.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements —In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” which addresses the accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value cannot be made. SFAS No. 143 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 143 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition or consolidated cash flows.

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. SFAS No. 144 generally establishes a standard framework to measure the impairment of long-lived assets and expands the Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions” to include a component of the entity (rather than a segment of the business). SFAS No.144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 144 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition and consolidated cash flows.

In April of 2002, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 145 was issued which rescinded SFAS Statements 4, 44, and 64, amended No. 13 and contained technical corrections. As a result of SFAS No. 145, gains and losses from extinguishments of debt will be classified as extraordinary items only if they meet the criteria in APB Opinion No. 30, that they are unusual and infrequent and not part of an entity’s recurring operations. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 145 to have a material effect on its financial condition or cash flows. The Company will adopt SFAS on January 1, 2004.

In July of 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 146, which addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs that are associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently accounted for pursuant to the guidance that the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) has set forth in EITF Issue No. 94-3,

NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (cont’d)
“Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).”

SFAS No. 146 revises the accounting for certain lease termination costs and employee termination benefits, which are generally recognized in connection with restructuring charges. The provisions of SFAS 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 146 to have an impact its financial statements once adopted on January 1, 2004.

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), “ Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantee, Including Indirect Guarantees or Indebtedness of Others” , which addresses the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees. FIN 45 also requires the recognition of a liability by a guarantor at the inception of certain guarantees that are entered into or modified after December 31, 2002.

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure” —an amendment to SFAS No. 123 (SFAS No. 148), which provides alternative methods of transition for companies voluntarily planning on implementing the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 148 also revises the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require more prominent disclosure of the method of accounting for stock-based compensation, and requiring disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share as if the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 had been applied from the original effective date of SFAS No. 123. The Company adopted the disclosures provisions of SFAS No. 148 for the quarters ending after December 15, 2002.

In January 2003, the EITF released Issue No. 00-21, (EITF 00-21), “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliveries” , which addressed certain aspects of the accounting by a vendor for arrangement under which it will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. Specifically, EITF 00-21 addresses whether an arrangement contains more than one unit of accounting and the measurement and allocation to the separate units of accounting in the arrangement. EITF 00-21 is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this standard will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The Company does not believe that there will be any impact on its financial statements.

NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (cont’d)
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how companies classify and measure certain financial with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires companies to classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some characteristics). SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. The standard will not impact the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE B—SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Supplemental disclosures of cash flow information for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 are summarized as follows:

Cash paid during the years for interest and income taxes:
 
  2004         2003
Income Taxes                          $    ---                      $   ---
Interest                                  $141,741                  $ 14,619

NOTE C—INCOME TAXES

Due to the operating loss and the inability to recognize an income tax benefit therefrom, there is no provision for current or deferred federal or state income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amount used for federal and state income tax purposes.

The Company’s total deferred tax asset, calculated using federal and state effective tax rates, as of December 31, 2004 is as follows:

Total deferred tax assets               $570,000
Valuation allowance       (570,000)

Net deferred tax asset      $   ----
                                                                           =======

 
Homeland Integrated Security Systems, Inc.

Notes to Audited Consolidated Financial Statements

 
NOTE C—INCOME TAXES (CONT’D)

The reconciliation of income taxes computed at the federal statutory income tax rate to total income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 is as follows:
                                                                                                           2004     2003
Income tax computed at the federal statutory rate       34%     34%
State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit         4%     4%
Valuation allowance                                                                 (38%)           (38%)
Total deferred tax asset                                                              0%     0%

Because of the Company’s lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance increased (decreased) by $270,193 and $826,378 in 2004 and 2003, respectively.

As of December 31, 2004, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards in the amount of approximately $1,500,000, which expire at various times through the year 2025.

BBI was acquired on a share exchange designed to be a tax free exchange under the rules and regulations of the Internal Revenue Service. BBI has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company issued 200,000,000 million restricted shares of common capital stock to BBI’s principal owners. Two designees of BBI were elected to the Board of Directors of the Company.

NOTE E—SEGMENT REPORTING

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFI CERS

The Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of Homeland Integrated Security Systems, Inc. do not provide for indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents of the company. However, under Section 850(1) of Chapter 607 of Florida Revised Statutes, a corporation may indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents under certain circumstances, including indemnification of such persons against liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Those circumstances include that an officer, director, employee or agent may be indemnified if the person acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling an issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the opinion of the Commission is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable.

UNDERTAKIN GS

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

1.
To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

·  
Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the securities Act of 1933.
·  
Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement; and notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
·  
Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.

2.
That, for determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, to treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.

3.
To file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remains unsold at the end of the offering.

4.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

5.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred and paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereby, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

SIGNATU RES

In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all the requirements of filing of Form SB-2 and authorized this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, in the City of Asheville, North Carolina on December 2, 2005.

EXHIBIT A


The Corporation hereby creates a new series out of its Series A Preferred Stock consisting of 10,000,000 shares of “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” having the preferences, limitations and relative rights set forth below:

(1) Designation and Rank. The series of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be designated the "Series A Convertible Preferred Stock" ("Series A Convertible Preferred") and shall consist of 10,000,000 shares. The Series A Convertible Preferred and any other series of Preferred Stock authorized by the Board of Directors of this Corporation are hereinafter referred to as "Preferred Stock" or "Preferred." The Series A Convertible Preferred shall be senior to the common stock and all other shares of Preferred Stock that may be later authorized.

(2) Conversion into Common Stock.

(a) Right to Convert. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after one month from the date of issuance (the "Conversion Date") into one hundred (100) shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the "Conversion Ratio").

(b) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder shall be entitled to convert, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing Series A Convertible Preferred to be converted, duly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that he elects to convert the same. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after delivery of such certificates, or such agreement and indemnification in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, issue and deliver to such holder of Series A Convertible Preferred a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled as aforesaid and a check payable to the holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional shares of Common Stock. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred to be converted.

(c) Adjustments to Conversion Ratio.

(1) Merger or Reorganization. In case of any consolidation or merger of the Corporation as a result of which holders of Common Stock become  entitled to receive other stock or securities or property, or in case of any conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another corporation, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred at least thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of such event a notice thereof, and each such holder shall have the option to either (i) convert such holder's shares of Series A Convertible Preferred into shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 3 and thereafter receive the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation deliverable upon conversion of such Series A Convertible Preferred would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger or conveyance, or (ii) exercise such holder's rights pursuant to Section 4(a). Unless otherwise set forth by the Board of Directors, the Conversion Ratio shall not be affected by a stock dividend or subdivision (stock split) on the Common Stock of the Corporation, or a stock combination (reverse stock split) or stock consolidation by reseriesification of the Common Stock. However, once the Series A Convertible Preferred has been converted to Common Stock, it shall be subject to all corporate actions that affect or modify the common stock.

(d) No Impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation, this Certificate of Designation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred against impairment.

(e) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Ratio of the Series A Convertible Preferred pursuant to this Section 3, the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and the calculation on which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Series A Convertible Preferred, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Ratio for the Series A Convertible Preferred at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred.

(f) Common Stock Reserved. The Corporation shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred.

(1) The holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred shall be entitled to receive, prior to the holders of the other series of Preferred Stock and prior and in preference to any distribution of the assets or surplus funds of the Corporation to the holders of any other shares of stock of the corporation by reason of their ownership of such stock, an amount equal to $1.00 per share with respect to each share of Series A Convertible Preferred.

(2) If upon occurrence of a Liquidation the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed among the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

(3) After payment of the full amounts to the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred as set forth above in paragraph (1), any remaining assets of the Corporation shall be distributed pro rata to the holders of the Preferred Stock and Common Stock (in the case of the Preferred Stock, on an "as converted" basis into Common Stock).

(b) For purposes of this Section 4, and unless a majority of the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred affirmatively vote or agree by written consent to the contrary, a Liquidation shall be deemed to include (i) the acquisition of the Corporation by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation) and (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, unless the Corporation's stockholders of record as constituted immediately prior to such acquisition or sale will, immediately after such acquisition or sale (by virtue of securities issued as consideration for the Corporation's acquisition or sale or otherwise) hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring entity.

 
4

 
 
(c) If any of the assets of the Corporation are to be distributed other than in cash under this Section 4, then the board of directors of the Corporation shall promptly engage independent competent appraisers to determine the value of the assets to be distributed to the holders of Preferred Stock or Common Stock. The Corporation shall, upon receipt of such appraiser's valuation, give prompt written notice to each holder of shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock of the appraiser's valuation.

(5) Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred and the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders' meeting and to vote as a single Series upon any matter submitted to the stockholders for a vote as follows: (i) the holders of each series of Preferred Stock shall have one vote for each full share of Common Stock into which a share of such series would be convertible on the record date for the vote, or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholders is solicited; and (ii) the holders of Common Stock shall have one vote per share of Common Stock held as of such date.

(6) Covenants. (a) In addition to any other rights provided by law, the Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred, do any of the following:

(1) Take any action which would either alter, change or affect the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of the Series A Convertible Preferred or increase the number of shares of such series authorized hereby or designate any other series of Preferred Stock;

5

 
 
(9) make any sale of additional Series A Preferred Stock.

(7) Reissuance. No share or shares of Series A Convertible Preferred acquired by the Corporation by reason of conversion or otherwise shall be reissued as Series A Convertible Preferred, and all such shares thereafter shall be returned to the status of undesignated and unissued shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Corporation.

(8) Directors. The holders of Series A Convertible Preferred and Common Stock voting together as a Series shall be entitled to elect the directors comprising the Board of Directors (and to fill any vacancies with respect thereto).

The Company shall exercise its option by giving notice thereof to the Executive and the other Stockholders within said thirty (30) day period. If such option is not exercised by the Company, the other Stockholders shall then have the option within a 30-day period to purchase all of the Executive’s shares. The exercise of this option shall be in writing and mailed pursuant to the terms of paragraph 20 to the Executive and the Company. In either event, whether the Company or the other Stockholders elect to purchase, the notice accepting the offer shall specify the date for the closing of the purchase which shall be not more than thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Executive of such acceptance notice given by the Company or the other Stockholders, as the case may be.

The said notes shall bear the unconditional endorsement of the other Stockholders who shall not be discharged from liability as guarantor by reason of the subsequent extension, modification or renewal of said promissory notes, or any of them evidencing such purchase price.

(5) If the offer to sell is neither accepted by the Company nor by the other Stockholders, the Executive may, thereafter, make a bona fide transfer or dispose of their shares of stock to a prospective outside purchaser, in which event said third party shall hold such shares subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement and shall become a signatory thereto.

There shall be annexed to the said notice a copy of the contract, if any, between the Executive and the outsider. The Company shall thereupon, in the first instance, have a further option to consummate the transaction with the Executive at the same price and at the same terms as specified in said notice, or alternatively, if the Company shall be unable or shall refuse to exercise said further option, then the other Stockholders may do so as provided herein.

(ii) If such further option be exercised by the Company or other Stockholders, notice shall be given within a thirty (30) day period to the Executive of the willingness of the Company, in the first instance, or the other Stockholders, in the second instance, to close the transaction on the basis offered by an outsider. In either event, whether the Company or the other Stockholders elect to meet the outsider's terms, the acceptance notice shall specify the date for the closing of the transaction which shall not be more than thirty (30) days after the giving of notice of acceptance of the further option herein conferred.

(iii)   If the Company or the other Stockholders, for any reason whatsoever, fail to exercise either the first option provided for under this agreement or the further option, in either of such cases the Executive’s shares of stock shall be freed from the restrictions of this agreement and the said shares of stock may be sold to any outsider upon such terms as the Executive may see fit to offer and an outsider may see fit to accept. In such latter case, the Executive shall likewise give thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Company and the other Stockholders specifying the name and address of the prospective outside purchaser and the full terms of the proposed transaction with said outsider setting forth a copy of the contract with said outsider. If the Executive shall be permitted to, and shall, consummate a sale with an outsider under the provisions of this paragraph of the agreement, in such case, the Executive shall furnish copies of all documents executed with the outsider within five (5) days after their execution and delivery otherwise the transaction with the outsider shall be null and void.

(5) In the event of a sale of the majority of the stock of the Executive during his lifetime in one single transaction(s), the Executive shall, upon the purchase of all his stock, be deemed to have resigned as a Director and from any office in the Company held by him at the time and agrees to sign, execute and deliver to the Company any and all instruments, including, but without limiting the generality thereof, resignations and other documents that may be necessary to effectuate the foregoing.
 
(g) Right of Executive to Sell Shares to the Company upon Disability or Involuntary Termination Without Cause.
 
(a) Put Option: If Executive at any time from the date of this Agreement shall become Disabled or be terminated without Cause, Executive shall have the right and option (the "Put Option") to sell any or all of the Shares to the Company at a price per Share equal as defined in Section 10(d).
 
(b) Exercise of Put Option and Closing . Executive may exercise the Put Option by delivering to the Company written notice of exercise within sixty days after the termination of the employment of Executive giving rise to the Put Option as set forth in Section (g) (a) above. Such notice shall specify the number of Shares to be sold. If and to the extent the Put Option is not so exercised within such sixty-day period, the Put option shall automatically expire and terminate effective upon the expiration of such sixty days period. At the time of delivery of notice of the exercise of the Put Option, Executive shall tender to the Company at its principal offices the certificate or certificates representing the Shares which the Company is obligated to purchase, duly endorsed in blank by Executive or with duly endorsed stock powers attached thereto, all in form suitable for the transfer of such Shares to the Company. Within ten (10) days of its receipt of the notice and such Shares, the Company shall deliver to Executive a check in the amount of the Fair Value of a Share multiplied by the number of Shares being sold. The purchase price may be payable, at the option of the Company, in cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of Executive to the Company or in cash (by bank or cashier's check) or both.
 
(c) Right of Company to Delay Payment. If at any time the Company is unable to repurchase Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Section or if it is determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in their good-faith judgment that the payment of the entire purchase price of such Shares pursuant to this Section would be deleterious to the financial position of the Company, the Company may elect to defer payment of all or a portion of such purchase price (but not any amounts then payable by the cancellation of outstanding indebtedness of Executive to the Company). Such deferred portion of the purchase price shall thereafter be payable in five (5) equal annual installments beginning on the date on which such purchase price was to be paid but for the effect of this paragraph (c). The outstanding amount of such installments shall bear interest at a floating rate equal to 5% per annum and such interest shall be payable annually in arrears on each date that an installment of principal is owing. The Company may prepay its obligations under this paragraph (c) in whole or in part at any time, with such prepayments being applied first to interest accrued but unpaid to the date of such prepayment and thereafter to installments of principal in inverse order of their maturity. For so long as any interest or principal remains owing under this paragraph (c), the Company shall not make any distribution or dividend to the holders of its Common Stock.

10.   Ownership in Company . All ideas, inventions, trademarks, and other developments or improvement conceived by Executive, alone or with others, during the term of employment, whether or not during working hours, that are within the scope of Company's business operations, or that relate to any Company or Company Subsidiaries work or projects, are the exclusive property of the Company.

In the event of the Executive's breach or threatened breach of this paragraph, the Company shall be entitled to a preliminary restraining order and an injunction restraining and enjoining the Executive from disclosing all or any part of the Company's Client list and from rendering any services to any person, firm, corporation, association, or other entity to whom all or any part of such list has been, or is threatened to be, disclosed.

(a) The parties acknowledge and agree that during the term of this agreement and in the course of the discharge of Executive’s duties hereunder, Executive shall have access to and become acquainted with financial, personnel, sales, scientific, technical and other information regarding formulas, patterns, compilations, programs, devices, methods, techniques, operations, plans and processes that are owned by Company, actually or potentially used in the operation of Company's business, or obtained from third parties under an agreement of confidentiality, and that such information constitutes Company's ''trade secrets.''
 
(b) Executive specifically agrees that Executive shall not misuse, misappropriate, or disclose in writing, orally or by electronic means, any trade secrets, directly or indirectly, to any other person or use them in any way, either during the term of this agreement or at any other time thereafter, except as is required in the course of Executive’s employment.

(c) Executive acknowledges and agrees that the sale or unauthorized use or disclosure in writing, orally or by electronic means, of any of Company's trade secrets obtained by Executive during the course of Executive’s employment under this agreement, including information concerning Company's actual or potential work, services, or products, the facts that any such work, services, or products are planned, under consideration, or in production, as well as any descriptions thereof, constitute unfair competition.

14.   Use of Executive’s Name .
 
(a) Company shall have the right to use the name of Executive as part of the trade name or trademark of Company if it should be deemed advisable to do so. Any trade name or trademark, of which the name of Executive is a part, that is adopted by Company during the employment of Executive may be used thereafter by Company for as long as Company deems advisable.
 
(b) Executive shall not, either during the term of this Agreement or at any time thereafter, use or permit the use of Executive’s name in the trade name or trademark of any other enterprise if that other enterprise is engaged in a business similar in any respect to that conducted by Company, unless that trade name or trademark clearly indicates that the other enterprise is a separate entity entirely distinct from and not to be confused with Company and unless that trade name or trademark excludes any words or symbols stating or suggesting prior or current affiliation or connection by that other enterprise or its employees with Company.

15.   Nontransferability . Neither Executive, Executive’s spouse, nor their estates shall have any right to commute, anticipate, encumber or dispose of any payment under this Agreement.

16.   Breach of the Agreement . In the event of any claimed breach of this Agreement, the party claimed to have committed the breach will be entitled to written notice of the alleged breach and a period of ten (10) days in which to remedy such breach. Executive   acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Agreement will result in irreparable and continuing harm to the Company for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. The Company will be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to restrain Executive from violating the terms and conditions of this Agreement in addition to other available remedies, at law and in equity.
 
17

 
(1) Executive acknowledges that: (i) compliance with Paragraphs 2(e), (f), and (g) is necessary to protect the Company's business and good will; (ii) a breach of those Paragraphs will irreparably and continually damage Company; and (iii) an award of money damages will not be adequate to remedy such harm.
 
(2) Consequently, Executive agrees that, in the event he breaches or threatens to breach any of these covenants, Company shall be entitled to both: (i) a preliminary or permanent injunction in order to prevent the continuation of such harm; and (ii) money damages, insofar as they can be determined, including, without limitation, all reasonable costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the Company in enforcing the provisions of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, however, shall prohibit Company from also pursuing any other remedy.
 
(3) If, after the expiration of the two (2) year period referred to in Paragraph 2(e) hereof, Executive becomes affiliated with any business that competes with Company, either as a shareholder, manager, partner, creditor, employee, consultant, agent or independent contractor, or a customer or account of Company becomes a customer or account of the competing business with which Executive is affiliated, this fact shall be presumptive evidence that Executive has breached the terms of this Agreement, and the burden of proving otherwise shall rest upon Executive.
 
(4) As money damages for the period of time during which Executive violates these covenants, Company shall be entitled to recover the full amount of any fees, compensation, or other remuneration earned by Executive as a result of any such breach.

17.   Binding Effect . This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company, its successors and assigns, including without limitation, any person, partnership, company or corporation which may acquire substantially all of the Company’s assets or business or with or into which the Company may be liquidated, consolidated or otherwise combined. In addition, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, Executive, Executive’s heirs, distributes and personal representatives.

18.   Waiver . The failure of either party to insist in any one or more instances upon performance of any term or condition of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of future performance. The obligations of either party with respect to such term, covenant or condition shall continue in full force and effect.

19.   Notice . Any notice given hereunder shall be in writing and delivered or mailed by first class mail and either reputable overnight delivery service or registered certified mail return receipt requested to the parties at the following addresses:

2.   Duties and obligations .

(a) Executive shall serve as Chief Operating Officer of the Company. In Executive’s capacity, Executive shall do and perform all services, acts, or things necessary or advisable to manage and conduct the business of Company, including the hiring and firing of all employees, subject at all times to the policies set forth by the Company’s Board of Directors, and to the consent of the Board when required by the terms of this contract, and in conformity with the By-laws of the Company.

(b) During the period of Executive’s Executive Employment, Executive shall devote full time to such employment. If elected, he shall serve as a director and/or officer of the Company and any of its subsidiaries and affiliates (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Company Subsidiaries”) and shall perform duties customarily incidental to such offices and all other duties the Board of Directors of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries or affiliates, may, from time to time, assign to Executive. If Executive is presently a member of the Board and/or an officer of the Company and a member of the Board and/or an officer of the Company Subsidiaries and affiliates, then Executive shall perform duties customarily incidental to such offices and all other duties the Board of Directors may, from time to time assign, and have assigned to him.

(c) During the term of employment, Executive shall diligently and conscientiously devote his entire time, attention and effort to the tasks which Company or its owners shall assign to him. The expenditure of reasonable amounts of time for educational, charitable and professional activities shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement if those activities do not materially interfere with the services required under this Agreement and shall not require the prior written consent of the Board of Directors. If the Executive is elected or appointed as a director or committee member, Executive shall serve in such capacity or capacities without further compensation unless agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. Nothing herein shall be construed, however, to require the Executive’s election or appointment as a director or an officer.

(d) The Executive shall exert his best efforts and devote substantially all of his time and attention to the Company's affairs. The Executive shall be in complete charge of the operation of the Company, and shall have full authority and responsibility, subject to the general direction, approval, and control of the Company's Board of Directors, for formulating policies and administering the Company in all respects. Executive’s powers shall include the authority to hire and fire Company personnel and to retain consultants when Executive deems necessary to implement Company policies. Executive shall at all times, discharge his duties in consultation with, and under the supervision of, the Company’s Board of Directors. In the performance of Executive’s duties, Executive shall make his principal office in such place as the Company’s Board of Directors and Executive may, from time to time, agree.

(e) Competitive Activities and Restrictions.
 
(1) During the term of this contract Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, either as an employee, company, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, corporate officer, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity, engage or participate in any business that is in competition in any manner whatsoever with the business of Company without the prior written consent of the Company, however, this limitation shall not extend to any business dealings and relationships regarding and relating to The Wicks Marketing Group, Inc.
 
 
2

 
 
(2) Executive agrees that during the term of this contract and for a period of two (2) years after termination of this Agreement, Executive shall not directly or indirectly solicit, hire, recruit, or encourage any other employee of Company to leave Company.
 
(3) Restrictive Covenant. For a period of two (2) years after the termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Executive shall not, within a radius of fifty (50) miles from the present place of the Company's business, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, be employed by, participate in, or be connected in any manner with the ownership, management, operation, or control of any business similar to the type of business conducted by the Company at the time this Agreement terminates. In the event of the Executive's actual or threatened breach of this paragraph, the Company shall be entitled to a preliminary restraining order and injunction restraining the Executive from violating its provisions. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit the Company from pursuing any other available remedies for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the Executive.
 
(4) For a period of twenty-four (24) months after this Agreement has been terminated for any reason, regardless of whether the termination is initiated by Company or Executive, or for a period of time equal to the length of Executive's employment with Company if such tenure is less than twenty-four (24) months, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, solicit any person, company, firm, or corporation who is or was a customer of Company during a period of five (5) years prior to the termination of Executive's employment. Executive agrees not to solicit such customers on behalf of himself or any other person, firm, company, or corporation.
 
(5) The Executive agrees that for a period of six (6) months after the termination of his employment with Company, regardless of whether the termination was initiated by Company or Executive, he will not accept employment with, or act as a consultant, contractor, advisor, or in any other capacity for, a competitor of the Company, or enter into competition with the Company, either by himself or through any entity owned or managed in whole or in part by the Executive, within a fifty (50) mile radius of Company's office(s) in which the Executive worked, however, this limitation shall not extend to any business dealings and relationships regarding and relating to Wicks Marketing Group, Inc. The term ''competitor,'' as used herein, means any entity primarily engaged in the business of providing delivery and management services, or primarily engaged in any other business in which Company engages subsequent to the date of this Agreement.
 
(6) The parties have attempted to limit Executive's right to compete only to the extent necessary to protect Company from unfair competition. The parties recognize, however, that reasonable people may differ in making such a determination. Consequently, the parties hereby agree that, if the scope or enforceability of the restrictive covenant is in any way disputed at any time, a court or other trier of fact may modify and enforce the covenant to the extent that it believes the covenant is reasonable under the circumstances existing at that time.
 
(7) Executive further acknowledges that (i) in the event Executive’s employment with Company terminates for any reason, regardless of whether the termination is initiated by Company or Executive, Executive will be able to earn a livelihood without violating the foregoing restrictions; and (ii) Executive’s ability to earn a livelihood without violating such restrictions is a material condition of Executive’s employment with Company.

10. Executive’s Stock Holdings in Company  

(a) Disposition of Stock during Lifetime. Except to the extent as provided for by Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Act, Executive shall not dispose of any of the shares of stock of the Company now or hereafter owned by him except pursuant to the terms of this agreement or with the written consent of either Ian Riley, Frank Moody or Brian Riley, so long as at the applicable time these individuals are still shareholders (hereinafter “the other Stockholders”). The word "dispose" as herein used shall mean to sell, assign or transfer, with or without consideration, encumber, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of a shares of stock in the Company.

(1) If wishing to dispose of his shares, Executive shall first obtain the written consent of the other Stockholders. If no such written consent is given, the Executive shall give written notice to the Company and the other Stockholders pursuant to the terms of paragraph 20 of his intention to make such disposition. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice, the Company, out of its surplus, shall have the option, but not the obligation, to purchase all of the Executive’s shares of stock. The Company shall exercise its option by giving notice thereof to the Executive and the other Stockholders within said thirty (30) day period. If such option is not exercised by the Company, the other Stockholders shall then have the option within a 30-day period to purchase all of the Executive’s shares. The exercise of this option shall be in writing and mailed pursuant to the terms of paragraph 20 to the Executive and the Company. In either event, whether the Company or the other Stockholders elect to purchase, the notice accepting the offer shall specify the date for the closing of the purchase which shall be not more than thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Executive of such acceptance notice given by the Company or the other Stockholders, as the case may be.
 
 
9

 

(2) The purchase price shall be the book value, as that term is defined hereinafter, of the shares as at the date of the first notice, which shall be binding on both parties. If such option shall be exercised either in the first instance by the Company, or, alternatively by the other Stockholders, payment for the capital stock shall be paid as follows: ten (10%) percent of the total purchase price of the Executive’s stock paid at closing and the remaining balance in equal monthly self-amortized installments paid over a period of seven (7) years, the first of which shall be paid within thirty (30) days following the closing and the remaining installments at consecutive monthly intervals thereafter, until paid, including, interest at the then prevailing prime interest rate plus three and one half (3 ½) points.
 
(3) The said installment payments shall be evidenced by a series of eighty-four (84) negotiable, acceleratable, promissory notes made by the Company or the other Stockholders, as the case may be, which notes are to be delivered to the Executive at the time of closing. The notes shall bear interest at the then prevailing prime interest rate plus three and one half (3 ½) points and shall provide that the Company or the other Stockholders, depending upon who is the purchaser, shall have the privilege of prepayment of all or any part of the unpaid purchase price upon Ten (10) days prior written notice without penalty, and that a default in the payment of any note after the expiration of fifteen (15) days grace period shall cause the remaining unpaid notes to become due and payable forthwith.

(4) If the Company shall be the purchaser and thereafter the maker of the promissory notes, the other Stockholders shall unconditionally guarantee payment of said purchase price and said notes to be delivered in connection therewith. The said notes shall bear the unconditional endorsement of the other Stockholders who shall not be discharged from liability as guarantor by reason of the subsequent extension, modification or renewal of said promissory notes, or any of them evidencing such purchase price.

(5) If the offer to sell is neither accepted by the Company nor by the other Stockholders, the Executive may, thereafter, make a bona fide transfer or dispose of their shares of stock to a prospective outside purchaser, in which event said third party shall hold such shares subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement and shall become a signatory thereto.

(i)   The Executive, in such case, shall give thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Company and the other Stockholders specifying the name and address of the prospective outside purchaser and the terms of the proposed transaction with said outsider. There shall be annexed to the said notice a copy of the contract, if any, between the Executive and the outsider. The Company shall thereupon, in the first instance, have a further option to consummate the transaction with the Executive at the same price and at the same terms as specified in said notice, or alternatively, if the Company shall be unable or shall refuse to exercise said further option, then the other Stockholders may do so as provided herein.
 
 
10

 

(ii) If such further option be exercised by the Company or other Stockholders, notice shall be given within a thirty (30) day period to the Executive of the willingness of the Company, in the first instance, or the other Stockholders, in the second instance, to close the transaction on the basis offered by an outsider. In either event, whether the Company or the other Stockholders elect to meet the outsider's terms, the acceptance notice shall specify the date for the closing of the transaction which shall not be more than thirty (30) days after the giving of notice of acceptance of the further option herein conferred.

(iii)   If the Company or the other Stockholders, for any reason whatsoever, fail to exercise either the first option provided for under this agreement or the further option, in either of such cases the Executive’s shares of stock shall be freed from the restrictions of this agreement and the said shares of stock may be sold to any outsider upon such terms as the Executive may see fit to offer and an outsider may see fit to accept. In such latter case, the Executive shall likewise give thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Company and the other Stockholders specifying the name and address of the prospective outside purchaser and the full terms of the proposed transaction with said outsider setting forth a copy of the contract with said outsider. If the Executive shall be permitted to, and shall, consummate a sale with an outsider under the provisions of this paragraph of the agreement, in such case, the Executive shall furnish copies of all documents executed with the outsider within five (5) days after their execution and delivery otherwise the transaction with the outsider shall be null and void. If the Executive shall not effect a sale or close the transaction with any outsider, the Executive’s shares shall, nevertheless, continue to be subject to all the restrictions of this agreement.

(b) Purchase of Stock Upon Death

(1) Obligatory Purchase and Sale .   Upon the death of the Executive, all of his shares of stock, or the shares of stock to which he or his personal representative shall be entitled, shall be sold and transferred as hereinafter provided: The Company shall purchase from the Executive’s personal representative, and the Executive’s personal representative shall sell to the Company, all of the Executive’s shares of stock at the price per share set forth in paragraph "(2)" hereof.

(2) Purchase Price .   The purchase price shall be the book value, as that term is defined herein at paragraph (d) hereof, of the shares as at the date of the Executive’s death, which shall be binding on both parties.

(3) Terms of Payment .   The Company shall pay to the personal representative of the Executive the purchase price as hereinabove determined in the following manner:

(i) By payment of the entire available proceeds from any insurance policy maintained as provided for in Paragraph "7" of this agreement within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof by the Company (unless a personal representative has not yet been appointed, in which case payment shall be made within ten (10) days of any subsequent appointment) and the balance, to the extent there is any, in equal monthly installments over a period of three (3) years. The first such installment shall be paid within thirty (30) days following payment of the available proceeds, and the remaining installments at consecutive monthly intervals thereafter, until paid, together with interest at the then prevailing prime rate plus three and one half (3 ½) points, payable with each installment of principal, as hereinbefore provided.
 
 
11

 

(ii) The said installment payments shall be evidenced by a series of thirty-six (36) negotiable, self-amortized, acceleratable, promissory notes made by the Company, which notes are to be delivered to the personal representative of the Executive at the time of payment of the available proceeds. The notes shall bear interest at the then prevailing prime rate plus three and one half (3 ½) points and shall provide that the Company shall have the privilege of prepayment of all or any part of the purchase price upon Ten (10) days prior written notice, and that a default in the payment of any note after the expiration of fifteen (15) days grace period shall cause the remaining unpaid notes to become due and payable herewith.

(iii) The other Stockholders shall guarantee payment of the purchase price and interest, and any notes to be delivered hereunder shall bear the endorsement of the other Stockholders who shall not be discharged from such liability by reason of the subsequent extension, modification or renewal of such promissory notes or any of them.

(4) Failure of Corporation to Purchase .   If the Company , for any reason whatsoever, shall fail or refuse to purchase all of the shares of the Executive, then, and in such case, the obligation to purchase shall be deemed assumed by the other Stockholders for the purpose of assuring the estate of the Executive that his stock shall be purchased. The other Stockholders shall thereupon assume the Company’s obligations to purchase and to make payment for the Executive’s shares of stock as if said other Stockholders had assumed that obligation in the first place.

(c) [Intentionally Omitted]

(d) Purchase Price

(1) The purchase price of any stock of the Company sold, purchased or retired pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be determined based on the book value of the Company.

(2) The term “book value” as it is used in this Agreement shall mean the book value of the shares of the Company as determined by a certified public accountant then engaged by the Company, using generally accepted accounting principles and appraisals of fair market value of fixed assets or real property owned by the Company. In the event of either a buy-out, or any other repurchase of shares as provided for in this agreement, the fair market value of fixed assets or real property owned by the Company shall be as agreed and determined by the other Stockholders. In the event that the other Stockholders are in disagreement over the fair market value of fixed assets or real property owned by the Company, then each other Stockholder shall have the fixed assets or real property owned by the Company appraised at his sole cost and expense, and the fair market value of fixed assets or real property owned by the Company will be the average of total amount of the other Stockholder appraisals. Should their be a disagreement over the fair market value of fixed assets or real property owned by the Company and should the other Stockholders elect not have an appraisal as set forth above performed, the fair market value of fixed assets or real property owned by the Company shall be determined solely by the appraisal which the other Stockholder had performed.
 
 
12

 

(3) No allowance of any kind shall be made for good will, trade name or similar intangible asset(s).

(e) Involuntary Assignments  

(1) In the event that the Executive shall be divested of title to his shares of capital stock by involuntary sale, assignment or transfer, (as, for example, but without limiting the generality thereof, by sale under levy of attachment or execution, or sale in connection with bankruptcy or other court process) or transfer to a spouse in satisfaction of marital rights in connection with a separation or divorce, the person, firm or corporation acquiring such stock (hereinafter called the “Judicial Assignee"), shall take and hold such shares of capital stock subject to all the restrictions, obligations and disabilities as was the Executive.

(2) Within thirty (30) days after such stock is transferred to the Judicial Assignee on the books of the Company, if such transfer be deemed proper by the Company, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to), by written notice given to the Judicial Assignee, elect to purchase from the Judicial Assignee the stock so acquired by him or her for:

(i)   The same amount as the Judicial Assignee shall have paid for such stock, or
(ii)   The book value of each share as determined in accordance with this Agreement, whichever amount is smaller, i.e., either the amount paid or book value. If the Company elects to purchase such stock from the Judicial Assignee, the Company may pay for such stock in ten (10) annual installments, the first of which shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days after the Company gives notice to the Judicial Assignee, as aforesaid. The Judicial Assignee, upon the making of the first payment by the Company, shall simultaneously therewith deliver his shares of stock to the Company’s attorney who shall thereupon certify, in writing, that he is holding said stock in escrow pending the full payment of the purchase price. The Judicial Assignee shall have no voice in the management of the Company at any time after the payment of the first installment.

(f) Delivery of Stock  

(1) The Executive, Executive’s personal representative, Judicial Assignee, whichever the seller shall be, shall deposit the stock sold in escrow with a person who is mutually acceptable to the Purchaser and Seller. The stock shall be duly endorsed in blank for transfer and shall be accompanied by all other documents necessary for an effective transfer. The escrow agent shall hold such stock endorsed in blank.

(2) Upon proof of payment in full of the note of the Purchaser given to the Seller under this Agreement, the escrow agent shall turn over to the Purchaser all of the shares deposited with him without any notice or further consent from the Seller, duly endorsed for transfer, with the necessary documentary stamps duly affixed and canceled.

13

 

(4) The stock held in escrow shall, in no instance, be entitled to be voted, except that if the is not in default in the payment of any installment of principal and interest, such Purchaser shall have the right to vote the stock on deposit with the escrow agent, and the escrow agent and the Seller shall, on demand, execute and deliver an effective proxy or proxies in favor of the Purchaser whenever demand is made upon them for such proxy or proxies by the Purchaser. Upon default in the payment of any installment of principal or interest, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to vote such stock until such default is cured.
 
(5) In the event of a sale of the majority of the stock of the Executive during his lifetime in one single transaction(s), the Executive shall, upon the purchase of all his stock, be deemed to have resigned as a Director and from any office in the Company held by him at the time and agrees to sign, execute and deliver to the Company any and all instruments, including, but without limiting the generality thereof, resignations and other documents that may be necessary to effectuate the foregoing.
 
(g) Right of Executive to Sell Shares to the Company upon Disability or Involuntary Termination Without Cause.
 
(a) Put Option: If Executive at any time from the date of this Agreement shall become Disabled or be terminated without Cause, Executive shall have the right and option (the "Put Option") to sell any or all of the Shares to the Company at a price per Share equal as defined in Section 10(d).
 
(b) Exercise of Put Option and Closing . Executive may exercise the Put Option by delivering to the Company written notice of exercise within sixty days after the termination of the employment of Executive giving rise to the Put Option as set forth in Section (g) (a) above. Such notice shall specify the number of Shares to be sold. If and to the extent the Put Option is not so exercised within such sixty-day period, the Put option shall automatically expire and terminate effective upon the expiration of such sixty days period. At the time of delivery of notice of the exercise of the Put Option, Executive shall tender to the Company at its principal offices the certificate or certificates representing the Shares which the Company is obligated to purchase, duly endorsed in blank by Executive or with duly endorsed stock powers attached thereto, all in form suitable for the transfer of such Shares to the Company. Within ten (10) days of its receipt of the notice and such Shares, the Company shall deliver to Executive a check in the amount of the Fair Value of a Share multiplied by the number of Shares being sold. The purchase price may be payable, at the option of the Company, in cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of Executive to the Company or in cash (by bank or cashier's check) or both.
 
(c) Right of Company to Delay Payment. If at any time the Company is unable to repurchase Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Section or if it is determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in their good-faith judgment that the payment of the entire purchase price of such Shares pursuant to this Section would be deleterious to the financial position of the Company, the Company may elect to defer payment of all or a portion of such purchase price (but not any amounts then payable by the cancellation of outstanding indebtedness of Executive to the Company). Such deferred portion of the purchase price shall thereafter be payable in five (5) equal annual installments beginning on the date on which such purchase price was to be paid but for the effect of this paragraph (c). The outstanding amount of such installments shall bear interest at a floating rate equal to 5% per annum and such interest shall be payable annually in arrears on each date that an installment of principal is owing. The Company may prepay its obligations under this paragraph (c) in whole or in part at any time, with such prepayments being applied first to interest accrued but unpaid to the date of such prepayment and thereafter to installments of principal in inverse order of their maturity. For so long as any interest or principal remains owing under this paragraph (c), the Company shall not make any distribution or dividend to the holders of its Common Stock.

The Executive shall not, during and after the term of his employment, disclose all or any part of the Executive's customer list to any person, firm, corporation, association, or other entity for any reason or purpose. In the event of the Executive's breach or threatened breach of this paragraph, the Company shall be entitled to a preliminary restraining order and an injunction restraining and enjoining the Executive from disclosing all or any part of the Company's Client list and from rendering any services to any person, firm, corporation, association, or other entity to whom all or any part of such list has been, or is threatened to be, disclosed. In addition to or in lieu of the above, the Company may pursue all other remedies available to the Company for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the Executive.
 
13.   Trade Secrets .
 
(a) The parties acknowledge and agree that during the term of this agreement and in the course of the discharge of Executive’s duties hereunder, Executive shall have access to and become acquainted with financial, personnel, sales, scientific, technical and other information regarding formulas, patterns, compilations, programs, devices, methods, techniques, operations, plans and processes that are owned by Company, actually or potentially used in the operation of Company's business, or obtained from third parties under an agreement of confidentiality, and that such information constitutes Company's ''trade secrets.''
 
 
15

 
 
(b) Executive specifically agrees that Executive shall not misuse, misappropriate, or disclose in writing, orally or by electronic means, any trade secrets, directly or indirectly, to any other person or use them in any way, either during the term of this agreement or at any other time thereafter, except as is required in the course of Executive’s employment.
 
(c) Executive acknowledges and agrees that the sale or unauthorized use or disclosure in writing, orally or by electronic means, of any of Company's trade secrets obtained by Executive during the course of Executive’s employment under this agreement, including information concerning Company's actual or potential work, services, or products, the facts that any such work, services, or products are planned, under consideration, or in production, as well as any descriptions thereof, constitute unfair competition. Executive promises and agrees not to engage in any unfair competition with Company, either during the term of this Agreement or at any other time thereafter

14.   Use of Executive’s Name .
 
(a) Company shall have the right to use the name of Executive as part of the trade name or trademark of Company if it should be deemed advisable to do so. Any trade name or trademark, of which the name of Executive is a part, that is adopted by Company during the employment of Executive may be used thereafter by Company for as long as Company deems advisable.
 
(b) Executive shall not, either during the term of this Agreement or at any time thereafter, use or permit the use of Executive’s name in the trade name or trademark of any other enterprise if that other enterprise is engaged in a business similar in any respect to that conducted by Company, unless that trade name or trademark clearly indicates that the other enterprise is a separate entity entirely distinct from and not to be confused with Company and unless that trade name or trademark excludes any words or symbols stating or suggesting prior or current affiliation or connection by that other enterprise or its employees with Company.

15.   Nontransferability . Neither Executive, Executive’s spouse, nor their estates shall have any right to commute, anticipate, encumber or dispose of any payment under this Agreement. Such payments and accompanying rights are nonassignable and nontransferable, expect as otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement.

16.   Breach of the Agreement . In the event of any claimed breach of this Agreement, the party claimed to have committed the breach will be entitled to written notice of the alleged breach and a period of ten (10) days in which to remedy such breach. Executive   acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Agreement will result in irreparable and continuing harm to the Company for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. The Company will be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to restrain Executive from violating the terms and conditions of this Agreement in addition to other available remedies, at law and in equity.
 
 
16

 
 
(1) Executive acknowledges that: (i) compliance with Paragraphs 2(e), (f), and (g) is necessary to protect the Company's business and good will; (ii) a breach of those Paragraphs will irreparably and continually damage Company; and (iii) an award of money damages will not be adequate to remedy such harm.
 
(2) Consequently, Executive agrees that, in the event he breaches or threatens to breach any of these covenants, Company shall be entitled to both: (i) a preliminary or permanent injunction in order to prevent the continuation of such harm; and (ii) money damages, insofar as they can be determined, including, without limitation, all reasonable costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the Company in enforcing the provisions of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, however, shall prohibit Company from also pursuing any other remedy.
 
(3) If, after the expiration of the two (2) year period referred to in Paragraph 2(e) hereof, Executive becomes affiliated with any business that competes with Company, either as a shareholder, manager, partner, creditor, employee, consultant, agent or independent contractor, or a customer or account of Company becomes a customer or account of the competing business with which Executive is affiliated, this fact shall be presumptive evidence that Executive has breached the terms of this Agreement, and the burden of proving otherwise shall rest upon Executive.
 
(4) As money damages for the period of time during which Executive violates these covenants, Company shall be entitled to recover the full amount of any fees, compensation, or other remuneration earned by Executive as a result of any such breach.

17.   Binding Effect . This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company, its successors and assigns, including without limitation, any person, partnership, company or corporation which may acquire substantially all of the Company’s assets or business or with or into which the Company may be liquidated, consolidated or otherwise combined. In addition, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, Executive, Executive’s heirs, distributes and personal representatives.

18.   Waiver . The failure of either party to insist in any one or more instances upon performance of any term or condition of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of future performance. The obligations of either party with respect to such term, covenant or condition shall continue in full force and effect.

19.   Notice . Any notice given hereunder shall be in writing and delivered or mailed by first class mail and either reputable overnight delivery service or registered certified mail return receipt requested to the parties at the following addresses:

If the Executive is elected or appointed as a director or committee member, Executive shall serve in such capacity or capacities without further compensation unless agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. Nothing herein shall be construed, however, to require the Executive’s election or appointment as a director or an officer.

In the event of the Executive's actual or threatened breach of this paragraph, the Company shall be entitled to a preliminary restraining order and injunction restraining the Executive from violating its provisions.

Consequently, the parties hereby agree that, if the scope or enforceability of the restrictive covenant is in any way disputed at any time, a court or other trier of fact may modify and enforce the covenant to the extent that it believes the covenant is reasonable under the circumstances existing at that time.
 
(7) Executive further acknowledges that (i) in the event Executive’s employment with Company terminates for any reason, regardless of whether the termination is initiated by Company or Executive, Executive will be able to earn a livelihood without violating the foregoing restrictions; and (ii) Executive’s ability to earn a livelihood without violating such restrictions is a material condition of Executive’s employment with Company.

The word "dispose" as herein used shall mean to sell, assign or transfer, with or without consideration, encumber, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of a shares of stock in the Company.

(1) If wishing to dispose of his shares, Executive shall first obtain the written consent of the other Stockholders. If no such written consent is given, the Executive shall give written notice to the Company and the other Stockholders pursuant to the terms of paragraph 20 of his intention to make such disposition. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice, the Company, out of its surplus, shall have the option, but not the obligation, to purchase all of the Executive’s shares of stock. The Company shall exercise its option by giving notice thereof to the Executive and the other Stockholders within said thirty (30) day period. If such option is not exercised by the Company, the other Stockholders shall then have the option within a 30-day period to purchase all of the Executive’s shares. The exercise of this option shall be in writing and mailed pursuant to the terms of paragraph 20 to the Executive and the Company. In either event, whether the Company or the other Stockholders elect to purchase, the notice accepting the offer shall specify the date for the closing of the purchase which shall be not more than thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Executive of such acceptance notice given by the Company or the other Stockholders, as the case may be.

(2) The purchase price shall be the book value, as that term is defined hereinafter, of the shares as at the date of the first notice, which shall be binding on both parties. If such option shall be exercised either in the first instance by the Company, or, alternatively by the other Stockholders, payment for the capital stock shall be paid as follows: ten (10%) percent of the total purchase price of the Executive’s stock paid at closing and the remaining balance in equal monthly self-amortized installments paid over a period of seven (7) years, the first of which shall be paid within thirty (30) days following the closing and the remaining installments at consecutive monthly intervals thereafter, until paid, including, interest at the then prevailing prime interest rate plus three and one half (3 ½) points.
 
(3) The said installment payments shall be evidenced by a series of eighty-four (84) negotiable, acceleratable, promissory notes made by the Company or the other Stockholders, as the case may be, which notes are to be delivered to the Executive at the time of closing. The notes shall bear interest at the then prevailing prime interest rate plus three and one half (3 ½) points and shall provide that the Company or the other Stockholders, depending upon who is the purchaser, shall have the privilege of prepayment of all or any part of the unpaid purchase price upon Ten (10) days prior written notice without penalty, and that a default in the payment of any note after the expiration of fifteen (15) days grace period shall cause the remaining unpaid notes to become due and payable forthwith.

The said notes shall bear the unconditional endorsement of the other Stockholders who shall not be discharged from liability as guarantor by reason of the subsequent extension, modification or renewal of said promissory notes, or any of them evidencing such purchase price.

(5) If the offer to sell is neither accepted by the Company nor by the other Stockholders, the Executive may, thereafter, make a bona fide transfer or dispose of their shares of stock to a prospective outside purchaser, in which event said third party shall hold such shares subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement and shall become a signatory thereto.

(i)   The Executive, in such case, shall give thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Company and the other Stockholders specifying the name and address of the prospective outside purchaser and the terms of the proposed transaction with said outsider. There shall be annexed to the said notice a copy of the contract, if any, between the Executive and the outsider. The Company shall thereupon, in the first instance, have a further option to consummate the transaction with the Executive at the same price and at the same terms as specified in said notice, or alternatively, if the Company shall be unable or shall refuse to exercise said further option, then the other Stockholders may do so as provided herein.

(ii) If such further option be exercised by the Company or other Stockholders, notice shall be given within a thirty (30) day period to the Executive of the willingness of the Company, in the first instance, or the other Stockholders, in the second instance, to close the transaction on the basis offered by an outsider. In either event, whether the Company or the other Stockholders elect to meet the outsider's terms, the acceptance notice shall specify the date for the closing of the transaction which shall not be more than thirty (30) days after the giving of notice of acceptance of the further option herein conferred.

(iii)   If the Company or the other Stockholders, for any reason whatsoever, fail to exercise either the first option provided for under this agreement or the further option, in either of such cases the Executive’s shares of stock shall be freed from the restrictions of this agreement and the said shares of stock may be sold to any outsider upon such terms as the Executive may see fit to offer and an outsider may see fit to accept. In such latter case, the Executive shall likewise give thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Company and the other Stockholders specifying the name and address of the prospective outside purchaser and the full terms of the proposed transaction with said outsider setting forth a copy of the contract with said outsider. If the Executive shall be permitted to, and shall, consummate a sale with an outsider under the provisions of this paragraph of the agreement, in such case, the Executive shall furnish copies of all documents executed with the outsider within five (5) days after their execution and delivery otherwise the transaction with the outsider shall be null and void. If the Executive shall not effect a sale or close the transaction with any outsider, the Executive’s shares shall, nevertheless, continue to be subject to all the restrictions of this agreement.

The notes shall bear interest at the then prevailing prime rate plus three and one half (3 ½) points and shall provide that the Company shall have the privilege of prepayment of all or any part of the purchase price upon Ten (10) days prior written notice, and that a default in the payment of any note after the expiration of fifteen (15) days grace period shall cause the remaining unpaid notes to become due and payable herewith.

The other Stockholders shall thereupon assume the Company’s obligations to purchase and to make payment for the Executive’s shares of stock as if said other Stockholders had assumed that obligation in the first place.

In the event of either a buy-out, or any other repurchase of shares as provided for in this agreement, the fair market value of fixed assets or real property owned by the Company shall be as agreed and determined by the other Stockholders. In the event that the other Stockholders are in disagreement over the fair market value of fixed assets or real property owned by the Company, then each other Stockholder shall have the fixed assets or real property owned by the Company appraised at his sole cost and expense, and the fair market value of fixed assets or real property owned by the Company will be the average of total amount of the other Stockholder appraisals. Should their be a disagreement over the fair market value of fixed assets or real property owned by the Company and should the other Stockholders elect not have an appraisal as set forth above performed, the fair market value of fixed assets or real property owned by the Company shall be determined solely by the appraisal which the other Stockholder had performed.

(3) No allowance of any kind shall be made for good will, trade name or similar intangible asset(s).

(e) Involuntary Assignments  

(1) In the event that the Executive shall be divested of title to his shares of capital stock by involuntary sale, assignment or transfer, (as, for example, but without limiting the generality thereof, by sale under levy of attachment or execution, or sale in connection with bankruptcy or other court process) or transfer to a spouse in satisfaction of marital rights in connection with a separation or divorce, the person, firm or corporation acquiring such stock (hereinafter called the “Judicial Assignee"), shall take and hold such shares of capital stock subject to all the restrictions, obligations and disabilities as was the Executive.

(2) Within thirty (30) days after such stock is transferred to the Judicial Assignee on the books of the Company, if such transfer be deemed proper by the Company, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to), by written notice given to the Judicial Assignee, elect to purchase from the Judicial Assignee the stock so acquired by him or her for:

(i)   The same amount as the Judicial Assignee shall have paid for such stock, or
(ii)   The book value of each share as determined in accordance with this Agreement, whichever amount is smaller, i.e., either the amount paid or book value. If the Company elects to purchase such stock from the Judicial Assignee, the Company may pay for such stock in ten (10) annual installments, the first of which shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days after the Company gives notice to the Judicial Assignee, as aforesaid. The Judicial Assignee, upon the making of the first payment by the Company, shall simultaneously therewith deliver his shares of stock to the Company’s attorney who shall thereupon certify, in writing, that he is holding said stock in escrow pending the full payment of the purchase price. The Judicial Assignee shall have no voice in the management of the Company at any time after the payment of the first installment.

(f) Delivery of Stock  

(1) The Executive, Executive’s personal representative, Judicial Assignee, whichever the seller shall be, shall deposit the stock sold in escrow with a person who is mutually acceptable to the Purchaser and Seller.

(2) Upon proof of payment in full of the note of the Purchaser given to the Seller under this Agreement, the escrow agent shall turn over to the Purchaser all of the shares deposited with him without any notice or further consent from the Seller, duly endorsed for transfer, with the necessary documentary stamps duly affixed and canceled.

(3) The fees and all other expenses of the escrow agent shall be paid one-half by the Purchaser and one-half by the Seller.

(4) The stock held in escrow shall, in no instance, be entitled to be voted, except that if the is not in default in the payment of any installment of principal and interest, such Purchaser shall have the right to vote the stock on deposit with the escrow agent, and the escrow agent and the Seller shall, on demand, execute and deliver an effective proxy or proxies in favor of the Purchaser whenever demand is made upon them for such proxy or proxies by the Purchaser. Upon default in the payment of any installment of principal or interest, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to vote such stock until such default is cured.

 
(5) In the event of a sale of the majority of the stock of the Executive during his lifetime in one single transaction(s), the Executive shall, upon the purchase of all his stock, be deemed to have resigned as a Director and from any office in the Company held by him at the time and agrees to sign, execute and deliver to the Company any and all instruments, including, but without limiting the generality thereof, resignations and other documents that may be necessary to effectuate the foregoing.
 
(g) Right of Executive to Sell Shares to the Company upon Disability or Involuntary Termination Without Cause.
 
(a) Put Option: If Executive at any time from the date of this Agreement shall become Disabled or be terminated without Cause, Executive shall have the right and option (the "Put Option") to sell any or all of the Shares to the Company at a price per Share equal as defined in Section 10(d).
 
 
14

 
 
(b) Exercise of Put Option and Closing . Executive may exercise the Put Option by delivering to the Company written notice of exercise within sixty days after the termination of the employment of Executive giving rise to the Put Option as set forth in Section (g) (a) above. Such notice shall specify the number of Shares to be sold. If and to the extent the Put Option is not so exercised within such sixty-day period, the Put option shall automatically expire and terminate effective upon the expiration of such sixty days period. At the time of delivery of notice of the exercise of the Put Option, Executive shall tender to the Company at its principal offices the certificate or certificates representing the Shares which the Company is obligated to purchase, duly endorsed in blank by Executive or with duly endorsed stock powers attached thereto, all in form suitable for the transfer of such Shares to the Company. Within ten (10) days of its receipt of the notice and such Shares, the Company shall deliver to Executive a check in the amount of the Fair Value of a Share multiplied by the number of Shares being sold. The purchase price may be payable, at the option of the Company, in cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of Executive to the Company or in cash (by bank or cashier's check) or both.
 
 
(c) Right of Company to Delay Payment. If at any time the Company is unable to repurchase Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Section or if it is determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in their good-faith judgment that the payment of the entire purchase price of such Shares pursuant to this Section would be deleterious to the financial position of the Company, the Company may elect to defer payment of all or a portion of such purchase price (but not any amounts then payable by the cancellation of outstanding indebtedness of Executive to the Company). Such deferred portion of the purchase price shall thereafter be payable in five (5) equal annual installments beginning on the date on which such purchase price was to be paid but for the effect of this paragraph (c). The outstanding amount of such installments shall bear interest at a floating rate equal to 5% per annum and such interest shall be payable annually in arrears on each date that an installment of principal is owing. The Company may prepay its obligations under this paragraph (c) in whole or in part at any time, with such prepayments being applied first to interest accrued but unpaid to the date of such prepayment and thereafter to installments of principal in inverse order of their maturity. For so long as any interest or principal remains owing under this paragraph (c), the Company shall not make any distribution or dividend to the holders of its Common Stock.
 
10.   Ownership in Company . All ideas, inventions, trademarks, and other developments or improvement conceived by Executive, alone or with others, during the term of employment, whether or not during working hours, that are within the scope of Company's business operations, or that relate to any Company or Company Subsidiaries work or projects, are the exclusive property of the Company. Executive agrees to assist the Company and Company Subsidiaries, at its expense, to obtain patents on any patentable ideas, inventions, trademarks, and other developments, and agrees to execute all documents necessary to obtain the patents in the name of the Company or Company Subsidiaries.
 
11.   Nondisclosure . Executive shall be dealing with Company's confidential information, inventions, trade secrets, and processes which are Company's sole and exclusive property. Executive agrees that Executive shall neither disclose to anyone, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Company, Company's confidential information nor will Executive use said confidential information outside the scope of Executive’s employment. All documents that Executive prepares and all confidential information provided to Executive as a result of or related to Executive’s employment shall, at all times, remain the exclusive property of the Company, and will remain in Company's possession on its premises. Under no circumstances, may Executive remove any confidential information or documents from Company's premises.
 
 
15

The Executive shall not, during and after the term of his employment, disclose all or any part of the Executive's customer list to any person, firm, corporation, association, or other entity for any reason or purpose. In the event of the Executive's breach or threatened breach of this paragraph, the Company shall be entitled to a preliminary restraining order and an injunction restraining and enjoining the Executive from disclosing all or any part of the Company's Client list and from rendering any services to any person, firm, corporation, association, or other entity to whom all or any part of such list has been, or is threatened to be, disclosed. In addition to or in lieu of the above, the Company may pursue all other remedies available to the Company for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the Executive.
 
13.   Trade Secrets .
 
(a) The parties acknowledge and agree that during the term of this agreement and in the course of the discharge of Executive’s duties hereunder, Executive shall have access to and become acquainted with financial, personnel, sales, scientific, technical and other information regarding formulas, patterns, compilations, programs, devices, methods, techniques, operations, plans and processes that are owned by Company, actually or potentially used in the operation of Company's business, or obtained from third parties under an agreement of confidentiality, and that such information constitutes Company's ''trade secrets.''
 
(b) Executive specifically agrees that Executive shall not misuse, misappropriate, or disclose in writing, orally or by electronic means, any trade secrets, directly or indirectly, to any other person or use them in any way, either during the term of this agreement or at any other time thereafter, except as is required in the course of Executive’s employment.
 
(c) Executive acknowledges and agrees that the sale or unauthorized use or disclosure in writing, orally or by electronic means, of any of Company's trade secrets obtained by Executive during the course of Executive’s employment under this agreement, including information concerning Company's actual or potential work, services, or products, the facts that any such work, services, or products are planned, under consideration, or in production, as well as any descriptions thereof, constitute unfair competition. Executive promises and agrees not to engage in any unfair competition with Company, either during the term of this Agreement or at any other time thereafter
 
(d) Executive further agrees that all files, records, documents, drawings, specifications, equipment, software, and similar items whether maintained in hard copy or on-line relating to Company's or Company Subsidiaries’ business, whether prepared by Executive or others, are and shall remain exclusively the property of Company and that they shall be removed from the premises or, if kept on-line, from the computer systems of Company only with the express prior written consent of the Company.
 
 
16

 
 
14.   Use of Executive’s Name .
 
(a) Company shall have the right to use the name of Executive as part of the trade name or trademark of Company if it should be deemed advisable to do so. Any trade name or trademark, of which the name of Executive is a part, that is adopted by Company during the employment of Executive may be used thereafter by Company for as long as Company deems advisable.
 
(b) Executive shall not, either during the term of this Agreement or at any time thereafter, use or permit the use of Executive’s name in the trade name or trademark of any other enterprise if that other enterprise is engaged in a business similar in any respect to that conducted by Company, unless that trade name or trademark clearly indicates that the other enterprise is a separate entity entirely distinct from and not to be confused with Company and unless that trade name or trademark excludes any words or symbols stating or suggesting prior or current affiliation or connection by that other enterprise or its employees with Company.

15.   Nontransferability . Neither Executive, Executive’s spouse, nor their estates shall have any right to commute, anticipate, encumber or dispose of any payment under this Agreement. Such payments and accompanying rights are nonassignable and nontransferable, expect as otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement.

16.   Breach of the Agreement . In the event of any claimed breach of this Agreement, the party claimed to have committed the breach will be entitled to written notice of the alleged breach and a period of ten (10) days in which to remedy such breach. Executive   acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Agreement will result in irreparable and continuing harm to the Company for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. The Company will be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to restrain Executive from violating the terms and conditions of this Agreement in addition to other available remedies, at law and in equity.
 
(1) Executive acknowledges that: (i) compliance with Paragraphs 2(e), (f), and (g) is necessary to protect the Company's business and good will; (ii) a breach of those Paragraphs will irreparably and continually damage Company; and (iii) an award of money damages will not be adequate to remedy such harm.
 
(2) Consequently, Executive agrees that, in the event he breaches or threatens to breach any of these covenants, Company shall be entitled to both: (i) a preliminary or permanent injunction in order to prevent the continuation of such harm; and (ii) money damages, insofar as they can be determined, including, without limitation, all reasonable costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the Company in enforcing the provisions of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, however, shall prohibit Company from also pursuing any other remedy.
 
(3) If, after the expiration of the two (2) year period referred to in Paragraph 2(e) hereof, Executive becomes affiliated with any business that competes with Company, either as a shareholder, manager, partner, creditor, employee, consultant, agent or independent contractor, or a customer or account of Company becomes a customer or account of the competing business with which Executive is affiliated, this fact shall be presumptive evidence that Executive has breached the terms of this Agreement, and the burden of proving otherwise shall rest upon Executive.
 
(4) As money damages for the period of time during which Executive violates these covenants, Company shall be entitled to recover the full amount of any fees, compensation, or other remuneration earned by Executive as a result of any such breach.
 
 
17

 

17.   Binding Effect . This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company, its successors and assigns, including without limitation, any person, partnership, company or corporation which may acquire substantially all of the Company’s assets or business or with or into which the Company may be liquidated, consolidated or otherwise combined. In addition, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, Executive, Executive’s heirs, distributes and personal representatives.

18.   Waiver . The failure of either party to insist in any one or more instances upon performance of any term or condition of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of future performance. The obligations of either party with respect to such term, covenant or condition shall continue in full force and effect.

2.   Duties and obligations .

(a) Executive shall serve as Chief Technical Officer of the Company. In Executive’s capacity, Executive shall do and perform all services, acts, or things necessary or advisable to manage and conduct the business of Company, including the hiring and firing of all employees, subject at all times to the policies set forth by the Company’s Board of Directors, and to the consent of the Board when required by the terms of this contract, and in conformity with the By-laws of the Company.

(b) During the period of Executive’s Executive Employment, Executive shall devote full time to such employment. If elected, he shall serve as a director and/or officer of the Company and any of its subsidiaries and affiliates (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Company Subsidiaries”) and shall perform duties customarily incidental to such offices and all other duties the Board of Directors of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries or affiliates, may, from time to time, assign to Executive. If Executive is presently a member of the Board and/or an officer of the Company and a member of the Board and/or an officer of the Company Subsidiaries and affiliates, then Executive shall perform duties customarily incidental to such offices and all other duties the Board of Directors may, from time to time assign, and have assigned to him.

(c) During the term of employment, Executive shall diligently and conscientiously devote his entire time, attention and effort to the tasks which Company or its owners shall assign to him. The expenditure of time for educational, charitable and professional activities shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement if those activities do not materially interfere with the services required under this Agreement and shall not require the prior written consent of the Board of Directors. If the Executive is elected or appointed as a director or committee member, Executive shall serve in such capacity or capacities without further compensation unless agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. Nothing herein shall be construed, however, to require the Executive’s election or appointment as a director or an officer.

(d) The Executive shall exert his best efforts and devote substantially all of his time and attention to the Company's affairs. The Executive shall be in complete charge of the operation of the Company, and shall have full authority and responsibility, subject to the general direction, approval, and control of the Company's Board of Directors, for formulating policies and administering the Company in all respects. Executive’s powers shall include the authority to hire and fire Company personnel and to retain consultants when Executive deems necessary to implement Company policies. Executive shall at all times, discharge his duties in consultation with, and under the supervision of, the Company’s Board of Directors. In the performance of Executive’s duties, Executive shall make his principal office in such place as the Company’s Board of Directors and Executive may, from time to time, agree.

(e) Competitive Activities and Restrictions.
 
(1) During the term of this contract Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, either as an employee, company, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, corporate officer, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity, engage or participate in any business that is in competition in any manner whatsoever with the business of Company without the prior written consent of the Company, however, this limitation shall not extend to any business dealings and relationships regarding and relating to Verge, Inc.
 
2

 
(2) Executive agrees that during the term of this contract and for a period of two (2) years after termination of this Agreement, Executive shall not directly or indirectly solicit, hire, recruit, or encourage any other employee of Company to leave Company.
 
(3) Restrictive Covenant. For a period of two (2) years after the termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Executive shall not, within a radius of fifty (50) miles from the present place of the Company's business, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, be employed by, participate in, or be connected in any manner with the ownership, management, operation, or control of any business similar to the type of business conducted by the Company at the time this Agreement terminates. In the event of the Executive's actual or threatened breach of this paragraph, the Company shall be entitled to a preliminary restraining order and injunction restraining the Executive from violating its provisions. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit the Company from pursuing any other available remedies for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the Executive.
 
(4) For a period of twenty-four (24) months after this Agreement has been terminated for any reason, regardless of whether the termination is initiated by Company or Executive, or for a period of time equal to the length of Executive's employment with Company if such tenure is less than twenty-four (24) months, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, solicit any person, company, firm, or corporation who is or was a customer of Company during a period of five (5) years prior to the termination of Executive's employment. Executive agrees not to solicit such customers on behalf of himself or any other person, firm, company, or corporation.
 
(5) The Executive agrees that for a period of six (6) months after the termination of his employment with Company, regardless of whether the termination was initiated by Company or Executive, he will not accept employment with, or act as a consultant, contractor, advisor, or in any other capacity for, a competitor of the Company, or enter into competition with the Company, either by himself or through any entity owned or managed in whole or in part by the Executive, within a fifty (50) mile radius of Company's office(s) in which the Executive worked, however, this limitation shall not extend to any business dealings and relationships regarding and relating to Verge, Inc. The term ''competitor,'' as used herein, means any entity primarily engaged in the business of providing delivery and management services, or primarily engaged in any other business in which Company engages subsequent to the date of this Agreement.
 
(6) The parties have attempted to limit Executive's right to compete only to the extent necessary to protect Company from unfair competition. The parties recognize, however, that reasonable people may differ in making such a determination. Consequently, the parties hereby agree that, if the scope or enforceability of the restrictive covenant is in any way disputed at any time, a court or other trier of fact may modify and enforce the covenant to the extent that it believes the covenant is reasonable under the circumstances existing at that time.
 
(7) Executive further acknowledges that (i) in the event Executive’s employment with Company terminates for any reason, regardless of whether the termination is initiated by Company or Executive, Executive will be able to earn a livelihood without violating the foregoing restrictions; and (ii) Executive’s ability to earn a livelihood without violating such restrictions is a material condition of Executive’s employment with Company.

(f) Uniqueness of Executive’s Services. Executive represents and agrees that the services to be performed under the terms of this contract are of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary, and intellectual character that gives them a peculiar value, the loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in an action at law.

Such payments will be subject to normal payroll deductions for state and federal withholding and social security taxes. No incentive compensation will be paid to Executive for any year in which the Company's income from operations is less than $25,000.

(2) Profit-Sharing Based on Performance.

(i) For each fiscal year of Company in which the net profits of Company exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand ($250,000) Dollars or the net profits of Company for that fiscal year exceed the net profits of Company for the previous fiscal year by Fifteen (15%) percent, whichever is less, Company agrees to pay Executive, within three (3) months after the close of that fiscal year, an annual profit-sharing payment equal to Twelve and one half (12.5%) percent of that excess, provided, however, that the total amount of this payment shall not exceed One Million ($1,000,000) Dollars.

(ii) If the employment term is terminated by Company for cause, Executive shall not be entitled to any portion of the annual profit-sharing payment for the fiscal year in which that termination occurs. However, if this contract should expire or be terminated for reasons other than cause, Executive shall be entitled to a percentage of the annual profit-sharing payment equal to the percentage of the fiscal year worked.

(iii) For the purpose of determining the amount of the annual profit sharing bonus, the net profits of Company shall be determined by a certified accountant then employed by Company.

This option may be exercised in whole or in part, but may only be exercised in lots of Twenty Five Thousand (25,000) shares.

The word "dispose" as herein used shall mean to sell, assign or transfer, with or without consideration, encumber, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of a shares of stock in the Company.

Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice, the Company, out of its surplus, shall have the option, but not the obligation, to purchase all of the Executive’s shares of stock. The Company shall exercise its option by giving notice thereof to the Executive and the other Stockholders within said thirty (30) day period. If such option is not exercised by the Company, the other Stockholders shall then have the option within a 30-day period to purchase all of the Executive’s shares. The exercise of this option shall be in writing and mailed pursuant to the terms of paragraph 20 to the Executive and the Company. In either event, whether the Company or the other Stockholders elect to purchase, the notice accepting the offer shall specify the date for the closing of the purchase which shall be not more than thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Executive of such acceptance notice given by the Company or the other Stockholders, as the case may be.

(2) The purchase price shall be the book value, as that term is defined hereinafter, of the shares as at the date of the first notice, which shall be binding on both parties.

The notes shall bear interest at the then prevailing prime interest rate plus three and one half (3 ½) points and shall provide that the Company or the other Stockholders, depending upon who is the purchaser, shall have the privilege of prepayment of all or any part of the unpaid purchase price upon Ten (10) days prior written notice without penalty, and that a default in the payment of any note after the expiration of fifteen (15) days grace period shall cause the remaining unpaid notes to become due and payable forthwith.

(4) If the Company shall be the purchaser and thereafter the maker of the promissory notes, the other Stockholders shall unconditionally guarantee payment of said purchase price and said notes to be delivered in connection therewith. The said notes shall bear the unconditional endorsement of the other Stockholders who shall not be discharged from liability as guarantor by reason of the subsequent extension, modification or renewal of said promissory notes, or any of them evidencing such purchase price.

(5) If the offer to sell is neither accepted by the Company nor by the other Stockholders, the Executive may, thereafter, make a bona fide transfer or dispose of their shares of stock to a prospective outside purchaser, in which event said third party shall hold such shares subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement and shall become a signatory thereto.

(i)   The Executive, in such case, shall give thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Company and the other Stockholders specifying the name and address of the prospective outside purchaser and the terms of the proposed transaction with said outsider. There shall be annexed to the said notice a copy of the contract, if any, between the Executive and the outsider. The Company shall thereupon, in the first instance, have a further option to consummate the transaction with the Executive at the same price and at the same terms as specified in said notice, or alternatively, if the Company shall be unable or shall refuse to exercise said further option, then the other Stockholders may do so as provided herein.

(ii) If such further option be exercised by the Company or other Stockholders, notice shall be given within a thirty (30) day period to the Executive of the willingness of the Company, in the first instance, or the other Stockholders, in the second instance, to close the transaction on the basis offered by an outsider.

(iii)   If the Company or the other Stockholders, for any reason whatsoever, fail to exercise either the first option provided for under this agreement or the further option, in either of such cases the Executive’s shares of stock shall be freed from the restrictions of this agreement and the said shares of stock may be sold to any outsider upon such terms as the Executive may see fit to offer and an outsider may see fit to accept. In such latter case, the Executive shall likewise give thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Company and the other Stockholders specifying the name and address of the prospective outside purchaser and the full terms of the proposed transaction with said outsider setting forth a copy of the contract with said outsider. If the Executive shall be permitted to, and shall, consummate a sale with an outsider under the provisions of this paragraph of the agreement, in such case, the Executive shall furnish copies of all documents executed with the outsider within five (5) days after their execution and delivery otherwise the transaction with the outsider shall be null and void.

(c) Life Insurance applied to Payment . Upon the death of the Executive, all the proceeds of the policies insuring his life shall be collected and applied by the Company to the payment of the purchase price of the Executive’s stock.

The Company will be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to restrain Executive from violating the terms and conditions of this Agreement in addition to other available remedies, at law and in equity.

(1) Executive acknowledges that: (i) compliance with Paragraphs 2(e), (f), and (g) is necessary to protect the Company's business and good will; (ii) a breach of those Paragraphs will irreparably and continually damage Company; and (iii) an award of money damages will not be adequate to remedy such harm.
 
(2) Consequently, Executive agrees that, in the event he breaches or threatens to breach any of these covenants, Company shall be entitled to both: (i) a preliminary or permanent injunction in order to prevent the continuation of such harm; and (ii) money damages, insofar as they can be determined, including, without limitation, all reasonable costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the Company in enforcing the provisions of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, however, shall prohibit Company from also pursuing any other remedy.
 
(3) If, after the expiration of the two (2) year period referred to in Paragraph 2(e) hereof, Executive becomes affiliated with any business that competes with Company, either as a shareholder, manager, partner, creditor, employee, consultant, agent or independent contractor, or a customer or account of Company becomes a customer or account of the competing business with which Executive is affiliated, this fact shall be presumptive evidence that Executive has breached the terms of this Agreement, and the burden of proving otherwise shall rest upon Executive.
 
(4) As money damages for the period of time during which Executive violates these covenants, Company shall be entitled to recover the full amount of any fees, compensation, or other remuneration earned by Executive as a result of any such breach.

17.   Binding Effect . This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company, its successors and assigns, including without limitation, any person, partnership, company or corporation which may acquire substantially all of the Company’s assets or business or with or into which the Company may be liquidated, consolidated or otherwise combined. In addition, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, Executive, Executive’s heirs, distributes and personal representatives.

18.   Waiver . The failure of either party to insist in any one or more instances upon performance of any term or condition of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of future performance. The obligations of either party with respect to such term, covenant or condition shall continue in full force and effect.

EXHIBIT A: INDEMNIFICATION

The Entity agrees to indemnify A-Z, its employees, directors, officers, agents, affiliates, and each person, if any, who controls it within the meaning of either Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 (each such person, including A-Z is referred to as "Indemnified Party") from and against any losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several (including all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with the preparation for or defense of any threatened or pending claim, action or proceeding, whether or not resulting in any liability) ("Damages"), to which such Indemnified Party, in connection with providing its services or arising out of its engagement hereunder, may become subject under any applicable Federal or state law or otherwise, including but not limited to liability or loss (i) caused by or arising out of an untrue statement or an alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it was made, (ii) caused by or arising out of any act or failure to act, or (iii) arising out of A-Z's engagement or the rendering by any Indemnified Party of its services under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Entity will not be liable to the Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent that any Damages are found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder.

These indemnification provisions shall be in addition to any liability which the Entity may otherwise have to any Indemnified Party.

If for any reason, other than a final non-appealable judgment finding an Indemnified Party liable for Damages for its gross negligence or willful misconduct the foregoing indemnity is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Entity shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of such Damages in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Entity and its shareholders on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other, but also the relative fault of the Entity and the Indemnified Party as well as any relevant equitable considerations.

Promptly after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of any claim or of the commencement of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought, the Indemnified Party will notify the Entity in writing of the receipt or commencement thereof and the Entity shall have the right to assume the defense of such claim or action (including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of fees and expenses of such counsel), provided that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to control its defense if, in the opinion of its counsel, the Indemnified Party's defense is unique or separate to it as the case may be, as opposed to a defense pertaining to the Entity. In any event, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Entity, at the Entity's sole expense, to represent it in any claim or action in respect of which indemnity may be sought and agrees to cooperate with the Entity and the Entity's counsel in the defense of such claim or action. In the event that the Entity does not promptly assume the defense of a claim or action, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel to defend such claim or action. Any obligation pursuant to this Annex shall survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement.

2.6   Acknowledgments and Representations.  

      2.6.1 Company and Dealer understand and accept that the terms, conditions, and covenants contained in this Agreement are reasonably necessary to maintain Company's high standards for Service and to protect and preserve the goodwill of Company's Service and its brand. Dealer has made material representations to Company in its application to become an authorized dealer of Company and Company has relied upon these representations as a material inducement to enter into this Agreement.

2.6.2 Dealer represents and warrants to Company that the execution and performance of this Agreement does not violate any other contract or obligation to which Dealer is a party, including terms relating to covenants not to compete, exclusive dealing, and confidentiality covenants. Dealer must not disclose to Company, or use or induce Company to use, any proprietary information or trade secrets of any other person, association, or entity.

2.6.3 Company expressly disclaims the making of, and Dealer acknowledges that it and its Affiliates have not received, have no knowledge of, and are not relying on any representation by any employee or representative of Company or its affiliates as to: (i) the revenue or profitability that Dealer might achieve as a result of entering into this Agreement; (ii) the number of activations, upgrades, or other business activity that Dealer may facilitate as a result of entering into this Agreement; (iii) the quality of the network from which Services are provided; and (iv) any other factor relating to the business operations of Dealer, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Dealer represents that it has independently investigated the risks and opportunities of the business outlined in this Agreement and has independently decided to sign this Agreement. Dealer acknowledges that it is responsible for independently deciding on the location of each Approved Retail Location and Company is not responsible for Dealer’s decision to open any Approved Retail Location.

3.   APPROVED RETAIL LOCATIONS.

3.1   Opening an Approved Retail Location. When Dealer is opening its initial Approved Retail Location(s), and if Dealer desires to open any additional location, Dealer must first receive written approval from Company. Dealer is solely responsible for selecting any potential location, but Company may approve or deny any location at its sole discretion. The lease for any location that Company approves must be in Dealer’s own name. Company must be named in each lease as a preapproved assignee of that lease. Dealer expressly acknowledges that it does not have the authority to bind Company or its affiliates to any lease agreements. Upon request by Company, Dealer must submit any proposed lease to Company for its approval before Dealer signs the lease. Dealer must promptly notify Company of the date a new location opens so that Company may issue a revised Schedule 1. Any retail location approved by Company under this Agreement that Dealer opens in the Area constitutes an Approved Retail Location subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, whether or not the change is actually reflected on Schedule 1.
 
3.2   Selling or Closing a Leased Approved Retail Location.  
 
3.2.1   If Dealer wants to terminate, transfer, sell, or otherwise dispose of its leasehold interest in an Approved Retail Location, Dealer must provide Company with 90 days advance written notice setting forth the reasons for the closure, transfer, sale, or disposal, and with a copy of the relevant lease. Company has 45 days from the date it receives this notice to decide to either assume or reject the remainder of each lease. If Company decides to assume a lease, Dealer must assign the lease, together with all leasehold improvements to this Approved Retail Location, to Company without any additional consideration. However, Company will reimburse Dealer for the depreciated value of any direct out-of-pocket expenses that Dealer incurred for the purchase of any equipment, furniture, or fixtures that were required by Company and for which Dealer was not previously reimbursed. Company has no obligation to reimburse Dealer for any expenditures that were not required by Company. Dealer remains responsible for all of its obligations under the lease through the effective date of the assignment. If Company decides not to assume any lease, Dealer must notify Company as soon as the Approved Retail Location actually closes or is transferred so that Company may issue a revised Schedule 1.   If Dealer closes down or stops selling Service from any Approved Retail Location, that location automatically loses its approval and is no longer an Approved Retail Location, whether or not Dealer complied with this Agreement regarding that closure or transfer and whether or not the change is actually reflected on Schedule 1.

3.2.2   Failure to provide Company with the required advance written notice may result in the unnecessary closure of an Approved Retail Location, which would cause the Company to suffer monetary damages and damages to its reputation and goodwill. These damages would be difficult to quantify and measure. As a result, Dealer must pay Company $50,000 as liquidated damages for each Approved Retail Location that is closed without providing the required advance written notice. Acceptance by Company of liquidated damages under this provision does not limit Company’s right to seek any other appropriate remedies under this Agreement, including without limitation termination of this Agreement.
 
3.3   Termination of Agreement. If Dealer elects to terminate this Agreement without cause, or to not renew this Agreement at the end of any term, then Company has the option in its sole discretion , to require Dealer to assign to Company the leases together with all leasehold improvements for those Approved Retail Locations that Company selects without any additional consideration. However, Company will reimburse Dealer for the depreciated value of any direct out-of-pocket expenses that Dealer incurred for the purchase of any equipment, furniture, or fixtures that were required by Company and for which Dealer was not previously reimbursed. Company has no obligation to reimburse Dealer for any expenditures that were not required by Company. Dealer remains responsible for all of its obligations under all leases through the effective date of the assignment.
 
3.4   Right of First Refusal for Dealer-Owned Approved Retail Locations. If Dealer owns one or more Approved Retail Location and if at any time during the term of this Agreement or upon termination of this Agreement, Dealer receives a bona fide offer from a third party to lease any or all of these Approved Retail Locations (whether directly or indirectly), and Dealer desires to accept this offer, Dealer must notify Company in writing of the terms of this offer. Dealer must provide Company 60 days in which to exercise Company’s right of first refusal from the date Company receives notice of the pending lease. If Company elects to exercise this right related to leasing Dealer’s Approved Retail Locations, then Company will deliver a written notice to Dealer representing Company’s desire to lease these Approved Retail Locations at the same price that is offered to Dealer by the third-party.
 
3.5   Dealer Cooperation. If Company elects assignment or purchase of any Approved Retail Location, then Dealer must cooperate with Company to provide and sign all appropriate documents requested by Company to facilitate the transaction. Dealer must convey all right, title, and interest to Company in all furniture, fixtures, improvements, and other personal property located in the assigned Approved Retail Locations.

10.1   Term. This Agreement will automatically renew for successive one-year periods under the same terms and conditions as are in effect at the time of the renewal. Either party may terminate this Agreement if it gives written notice to the other party of its intention to terminate this Agreement at least 60 days before the expiration of the then current term.

10.2   Termination for Cause with Cure Period. Subject to the provisions contained in section 10.3, either party may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party if the other party breaches any material provision of this Agreement. In the event of a breach, the allegedly breaching party must be provided with written notice of any violation of this Agreement and offered 30 days to cure this violation after receiving this notice. If the breach is not cured by the end of the 30-day period, then any previously delivered termination notice becomes effective without further notice.

10.3   Termination for Cause Immediately Upon Written Notice. Despite the above, a breach by Dealer of any part of sections 2.6.2, 3.2, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.7, or 9 of this Agreement is not subject to cure and, accordingly, any such breach gives Company the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to Dealer. Either party may also terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the other party if the FCC or any other regulatory agency promulgates any regulation or order that prohibits or substantially impedes either party from fulfilling its obligations, or if the other party: (a) becomes financially insolvent; (b) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (c) has an Order for Relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code entered by any federal court against it; or (d) has a trustee or receiver of any substantial part of its assets appointed by any court. Company may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice if for any reason Company is no longer authorized to provide Service within the Area, if Dealer is found to have made a material misrepresentation or omission to Company during the application process, or if Dealer is found to have engaged in fraudulent or illegal conduct that either harms Company or that is likely in Company’s sole discretion to adversely affect Company’s reputation or goodwill.

10.4   Termination Without Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety, without cause, with 90 days prior written notice to the other party. Either party may also terminate this Agreement with respect to any individual market or markets listed on Schedule 1, without cause, with 90 days prior written notice to the other party.

10.5   Termination Reserve/Payment of Chargebacks. Upon any notice of termination of this Agreement, or notice of termination of Dealer’s authorization to operate in any market, or if Company determines in its sole discretion that Dealer is likely to stop doing business in any market, Company may withhold a reserve from any money owed to Dealer that may be used to satisfy any obligations owed or to be owed by Dealer to Company, including but not limited to, anticipated Chargebacks after the termination of this Agreement or after Dealer stops doing business. Accordingly, Company may hold a reserve in the amount of the approximate value of Dealer’s Chargebacks over the previous 180 days, adjusted for the amount Company expects Dealer to owe, in Company’s sole discretion. Any remaining balance in the reserve 180 days after the termination date will be promptly paid to Dealer. Despite any reserve, if Dealer still owes Company money for Dealer’s post-termination Chargebacks, then Dealer must pay the remaining balance of the Chargebacks to Company within 30 days of written request.

10.6   Obligations of Dealer Upon Termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement, Dealer must: (a) discontinue the use of all Marks, and any similar trade names, service marks, trademarks, signs, or designs, and must return to Company all materials containing any Mark or otherwise identifying or relating to Company's business; (b) cease representing itself in any fashion as a Dealer or representative of Company; (c) return to Company or destroy those documents, records, or other materials (including all copies, either photocopies or electronic copies) that were provided to Dealer by Company or that contain any Confidential Information, including without limitation all information related to Subscribers and all CPNI; and (d) not solicit Subscribers for one year in accordance with the non-solicitation provision of this Agreement.

10.7   No Compensation. Upon termination of this Agreement, Dealer’s right to all forms of compensation under this Agreement ends, including without limitation any Subscriber Management Fees. Similarly, upon termination of Dealer’s authorization to operate in any individual market, Dealer’s right to all compensation under this Agreement related to that market ends, including without limitation any Subscriber Management Fees. However, if under the relevant Compensation Schedule, Dealer is eligible for commission for a Subscriber activation before the termination date of this Agreement and that Subscriber remains active through the relevant Chargeback Period after the termination of the Agreement, then Dealer earns its one-time commission for that Subscriber.
 
11.   DISPUTES.

11.1   Notification and Limitation of Actions. Dealer must notify Company in writing of any controversy or claim it may have regarding this Agreement or its relationship with Company within 120 days of the date Dealer became aware or should have become aware of this grievance or dispute. If Dealer fails to notify Company of the controversy or claim within 120 days, then Company is not liable to Dealer for any loss or injury relating to that controversy or claim. The failure by Dealer to timely notify Company of any grievance or dispute is an absolute bar to the institution of any proceedings that may have been based upon this grievance or dispute.

11.2   Mandatory Pre-arbitration Dispute Resolution Procedures. If a controversy or claim arises out of or related to this Agreement, the dispute resolution procedures in this section are required before either party may initiate arbitration. Either party must request to meet the other party within 14 days, at a mutually agreed time. A representative of Dealer and of Company who are empowered to resolve the matter will meet at least once and will attempt in good faith to resolve the matter. If the matter has not been resolved within 21 days of their first meeting, the matter then becomes the responsibility of a senior executive of each party who has authority to settle the dispute. The parties must promptly prepare and exchange memoranda stating all of the disputed issues and their positions on these issues, an estimate of the amount of direct losses suffered and of the amount of damages claimed, a summary of the negotiations that have taken place, and attaching relevant documents. A senior executive of Company and Dealer will meet for negotiations within 14 days after the end of the 21-day period referred to above at a mutually agreed time. The first meeting of senior executives should be held at the offices of the party receiving the request to meet, and future meetings will rotate between the offices of Dealer and Company.
 
14

 
11.3   Arbitration of Disputes.

11.3.1   Arbitration Clause. If the matter has not been resolved under the mandatory dispute resolution procedures above, then, except as stated in section 11.3.4 of this Agreement, all claims (including counterclaims and cross-claims and also including claims based on tort or other legal theories) and disputes between Dealer and Company must be resolved by submission to binding arbitration. The parties understand that they are waiving all right to a jury trial, even if this arbitration clause is found to be inapplicable or invalid, in which case a judge must decide the dispute. The parties must submit any disputes to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) nearest to Dealer within the Area to be decided under the then current AAA commercial arbitration rules, as modified by this Agreement. In the event that AAA declines to administer this arbitration, the parties will then mutually agree upon another qualified arbitration institution. The arbitration must be conducted by 3 arbitrators. The nature and outcome of any arbitration under this Agreement is Confidential Information.

11.3.2   Limitations of Actions. All claims and disputes covered by this provision must be submitted to arbitration by initiating the arbitration no later than 180 days after the aggrieved party became aware or should have become aware that the act or omission giving rise to the claim or dispute occurred, except for the failure to pay invoices for equipment purchased by Dealer from Company. The failure to initiate arbitration within this period is an absolute bar to the institution of any proceedings based on such act or omission. The aggrieved party must initiate arbitration under this provision by sending written notice of an intention to arbitrate to all parties. The notice must contain a description of the dispute, the amount involved, and the remedy sought. Notwithstanding any other limitations set forth in this Agreement, either party is entitled to assert counterclaims within 30 days from the date that it receives notice of any claim asserted against it.

11.3.3   Procedures and Discovery. A prehearing conference must take place to reach agreement on procedural matters, arrange for the exchange of information, obtain stipulations, schedule the arbitration hearing, and attempt to narrow the issues. In order to expedite the arbitration proceedings, the parties agree to place the following limitations on discovery:

(i)  
Each party may propound only 10 interrogatories (each subpart counting as one interrogatory) to each other party;
 
(ii)  
The parties may serve document requests. Responsive documents are to be exchanged no later than 45 days after service of the request;
 
(iii)  
Each party may depose up to 8 witnesses of each other party (including current and former employees and officers) and up to two non-party witnesses per each adverse party. Any party deposing an opponent's expert witness must pay the expert's fee for attending the deposition; and
 
(iv)  
Parties may conduct additional discovery beyond the limitations of these express rules only by written stipulation or express permission from the arbitrator upon a showing of good cause.
 
15


11.3.4   Right to Seek Injunction. Despite anything to the contrary in this arbitration provision, either party may bring court proceedings to seek an injunction or other equitable relief to enforce any right or obligation under this Agreement. To obtain injunctive or other equitable relief, neither party is required to post a bond, but if required by law or by the court, both parties consent to a bond in the lowest amount permitted by law.

11.3.5   Enforcement of Award. This Agreement provides no greater right of review than that which is conferred under applicable state and federal law. The award of the arbitrator may be confirmed or enforced in any court having jurisdiction under the enforcement provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act.

11.3.6   Fees. Arbitrator’s fees are split equally between the parties unless the arbitrator rules otherwise at the conclusion of the arbitration or this allocation is prohibited as a matter of law. If a party defaults on its obligation to pay, the non-defaulting party has the option to either: (a) make the missed payments and recover them at the conclusion of the arbitration regardless of who prevails, or (b) forego the use of the arbitration process and bring its claim to a court having jurisdiction. If the non-defaulting party brings its claim to a court having jurisdiction, then any statutory or contractual limitations period is tolled from the time that the arbitration was initiated until the matter is officially closed.

12.   MISCELLANEOUS.

12.1   Governing Law. Except to the extent governed by federal laws or regulations that preempt state law, the entire relationship of the parties based on this Agreement is governed by the substantive laws of the State of Georgia, without reference to its choice of law rules.

12.2   Cumulative Rights/Waivers. The rights of the parties under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies. Either party’s waiver of any right or remedy under this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of that same right or remedy or of any other right or remedy on a future occasion.

12.3   Events Beyond a Party’s Control. Neither party is liable for loss or damage or is in breach of this Agreement if its failure to perform its obligations results from: (a) compliance with any law, order, regulation, or requirement of any federal, state, or local government, or any court of competent jurisdiction; (b) acts of God; or (c) fires, strikes, embargoes, war, terrorism, insurrection, riot, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party. Any delay resulting from any of these causes extends performance accordingly or excuses performance, in whole or in part, as may be reasonable.

12.4   Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter of the Agreement. There are no other oral or written understandings or agreements between Company and Dealer relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, and this Agreement supersedes all prior negotiations, communications, agreements, and addenda between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, but any releases or post-termination covenants are not superseded. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or should confer any rights or remedies upon any person or entity not a party to this Agreement.
 
16


12.5   Modification. This Agreement may only be amended or superseded by written agreement signed by authorized representatives of both parties, unless expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement. Each written modification is effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No course of dealing, course of performance, or usage of trade may be invoked to modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No other understandings or representations, whether oral or in writing, may amend or supersede this Agreement.

12.6   Assignment. Neither party may assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the other party's prior written consent, except that: (a) Company may fully assign its rights and duties under this Agreement to any affiliate, successor, or to any entity or person in connection with a merger or consolidation of Company or with a sale of all or any portion of the assets or business of Company; and (b) Dealer may grant to an institutional lender as collateral for a loan or other credit facility a security interest in the other moneys payable to Dealer under this Agreement subject to the offset rights of Company provided in this Agreement and in any other agreement between Company and Dealer. Any material change of ownership or control of the legal entity of Dealer, whether voluntary or involuntary, constitutes an assignment of this Agreement. Any assignment by Dealer in violation of this section immediately renders this Agreement null and void and conveys no rights or interest.

12.7   Survival. The terms, provisions, representations, and warranties contained in this Agreement that by their sense, context, or express language are intended to survive do survive the termination of this Agreement. The parties must fulfill all surviving obligations in a timely manner, and these obligations are binding upon each party’s respective successors and assigns. Regarding compensation to Dealer, no compensation, including without limitation Subscriber Management Fees, or other compensation related to Dealer’s base of Subscribers under this Agreement or any amendment, survives the termination of this Agreement. The only compensation items that survive are: (a) Company’s obligation to pay Dealer a one-time commission under the Compensation Schedule for a Subscriber who was activated before the termination of this Agreement and who remains on Service beyond the Chargeback Period; (b) Company’s right to Chargeback Dealer under the relevant Compensation Schedule after termination, and Dealer’ obligation to pay Company for these Chargebacks; and (c) Company’s right of Offset/Recoupment.

12.8   Severability. A determination by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction that any provision of this Agreement or any part of it is unenforceable does not cancel or invalidate the remainder of that provision or of this Agreement, which remain in full force and effect and must be construed to carry out the intent of the parties.

12.9   Indemnity. Dealer and Company must defend and indemnify the other party and its affiliates, parents, subsidiaries, and their employees and agents from all liability, damages, punitive damages, fines, expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, claims, demands, or suits arising from their breach of this Agreement or non-compliance with law, their negligent, willful, or fraudulent acts, or for their failure to act, with respect to the performance of each party’s obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any allegedly unauthorized use of a trademark, patent, copyright, process, method, or device, false or misleading advertising, or bodily injury, death, or damage to property to the extent occasioned by the acts or omissions of the indemnifying party or its affiliates, employees, or agents. Prompt written notice must be provided to the indemnifying party of any claim for indemnity. Each party may conduct its own defense of any claim in which it is named as a defendant without diminishing its indemnity rights. This indemnity provision only applies to claims or liability from third parties and not to claims between the parties. Each party is only responsible for any losses or damages proximately caused by it. The Limitation of Liability provisions of this Agreement do not limit recovery under this Indemnity clause.
 
17


12.10   Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE PROVIDED UNDER THE INDEMNITY PROVISION, NEITHER COMPANY NOR DEALER IS LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, RELIANCE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES, AS A RESULT OF ANY DEFAULT OR BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TERMINATION OR NON-RENEWAL OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER EVENT, CONDUCT, ACT OR OMISSION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS MADE KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY, AND VOLUNTARILY.

12.11   Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications under this Agreement, must be in writing and are considered given if delivered personally, sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or sent by nationally recognized overnight carrier to the current address for official notices under this Agreement. The official addresses for notices of this Agreement may be changed by written notice to the other party in accordance with this section. However, Company’s notices regarding Dealer Policies and compensation changes may also be delivered by facsimile, electronic means, or by U.S. Mail.

SCHEDULE 2/EXHIBIT C
COMPENSATION SCHEDULE - EXCLUSIVE
Effective Date: On or after September 1, 2005

As of September 1, 2005, this Compensation Schedule replaces and supersedes any prepaid, hybrid, or data addendum to the Agency Agreement, as well as your existing Exhibit C or Schedule 2, unless expressly stated in this Compensation Schedule.
 
1.   Definitions.
 
1.1   Activation Date: The date on which Company begins to provide the applicable Service to any Authorized Subscriber.
 
1.2   Authorized Feature: All published features that are generally available within the relevant market in the Area. Any data Authorized Rate Plan, if newly activated together on the same Company SIM with a voice Authorized Rate Plan by the same Authorized GSM Subscriber or Authorized Upgrade Subscriber constitutes an Authorized Feature.

1.3   Authorized Rate Plan: Only the post-paid voice and data rate plans listed on Company’s current point of sale rate plan collateral in each market within the Area. Authorized Rate Plans do not include Cingular GoPhone Rate Plans, Authorized Features (including data rate plans that constitute Authorized Features), demonstration plans or other dealer employee plans, and rate plans determined by Company under this Agreement to be non-authorized rate plans.

1.4   Authorized Subscriber: All variations of Authorized Subscribers defined in this Compensation Schedule.
 
1.5   Cingular GoPhone Rate Plan: All of the published GoPhone branded rate plans (prepaid/hybrid rate plans initially launched in April 2005) that are generally available within each market in the Area, including without limitation, GoPhone “Pay As You Go” and GoPhone “Pick Your Plan” rate plans. Authorized Subscribers activated on these Cingular GoPhone Rate Plans do not count towards Dealer’s activation totals for compliance or compensation purposes, including without limitation any activation quota of Authorized Subscribers and any SMF or volume bonus, unless expressly stated in writing by Company. Dealer is not permitted to sell any prepackaged GoPhone branded equipment under this Agreement and will not be compensated for activations if selling this equipment.
 
1.6   Authorized GSM Subscriber: An individual or entity who meets the following conditions:
 
(a)  
who places an order through Dealer for Service on an Authorized Rate Plan (either voice or data) within the Area;
(b)  
for whom Dealer has activated a Company SIM together with certified GSM Equipment;
   (c)   for whom Service is activated on an Authorized Rate Plan, and is not deactivated before the end of the calendar month in which the Service was activated; and
   (d)   who has not been active on an Authorized Rate Plan at any time within 180 days before this Subscriber’s Activation Date, except if it qualifies as a reactivation under this Compensation Schedule. When an individual or entity places more than one order and each order is assigned to a separate Company SIM (for a different wireless service number), each order is treated as a separate Authorized GSM Subscriber.
 
20


1.7   Authorized Upgrade Subscriber: An individual or entity who meets the following conditions:
(a)   a current Subscriber to any post-paid Company rate plan who meets Company’s current upgrade eligibility requirements;
(b)   who Dealer supplies with new certified GSM Equipment;
(c)   for whom Dealer renews the term of Subscriber’s contract with Company for at least one additional year on an Authorized Rate Plan, with the express consent of the Subscriber;
(d)   for whom Dealer complies with Company’s current upgrade eligibility requirements; and
(e)   when an individual or entity places more than one order and each order is assigned a separate Company SIM (for a different wireless service number), each order is treated as a separate Authorized Upgrade Subscriber.

1.8   Authorized Feature Subscriber: An individual or entity who meets the following conditions:
(a)  
who is an active post-paid Subscriber of Company, or is currently activating an Authorized Rate Plan;
(b)  
who places an order through Dealer for an Authorized Feature;
(c)  
who is obligated to pay for the Authorized Feature in addition to the Subscriber’s Authorized Rate Plan;
(d)  
for whom an Authorized Feature is activated and has not been deactivated before the end of the calendar month in which the Authorized Feature was activated; and
(e)  
when an individual or entity places more than one order for the same Authorized Feature and each order is assigned to a separate Company SIM (for a different wireless service number), each order is treated as a separate Authorized Feature Subscriber.

1.9   Authorized GoPhone “Pay As You Go” Subscriber: An individual or entity who meets the following conditions:
(a)   who places an order for Service on a GoPhone “Pay As You Go” rate plan on certified GSM Equipment;
(b)   for whom Service is activated on a GoPhone “Pay As You Go” rate plan and airtime is   added to the account; and
(c)   who has not been active on a GoPhone “Pay As You Go” rate plan at any time within 180 days before this Subscriber’s Activation Date. When an
     individual or entity activates more than one Company SIM (for different wireless service numbers), each order is treated as a separate Authorized
     GoPhone “Pay As You Go” Subscriber.
 
21


1. 10   Authorized GoPhone “Pick Your Plan” Subscriber: An individual or entity who meets the following conditions:
(a)   who places an order for Service on a GoPhone “Pick Your Plan” rate plan on certified GSM Equipment;
(b)   who makes the initial Service payment in full;
(c)   for whom Service is activated on a GoPhone “Pick Your Plan” rate plan, and that is not deactivated before the end of the calendar month in which the Service was activated; and
(d)   who has not been active on a GoPhone “Pick Your Plan” rate plan at any time within 180 days before this Subscriber’s Activation Date. When an individual or entity activates more than one Company SIM (for different wireless service numbers), each order is treated as a separate Authorized GoPhone “Pick Your Plan” Subscriber.

1.11   The following terms used in this Compensation Schedule have the corresponding meanings under the Agency Agreement:   Dealer ” means “AGENT,” “ Service ” means “WCS,” and “ Company ” means “CINGULAR.” Subscriber means any customer of Service.

2.   Compensation.

2.1   Compensation Schedules. Dealer earns the compensation set forth in Schedule 2.1/Exhibit C-1 for each Authorized Subscriber. If an Authorized GSM Subscriber activates only one Authorized Rate Plan per Company SIM, then that rate plan (voice or data) constitutes the primary Authorized Rate Plan. Dealer earns no compensation for activations on non-authorized rate plans.

2.2   Compensation for Combined Voice and Data Subscribers. If an Authorized GSM Subscriber activates voice and data rate plans together on the same Company SIM, then the voice Authorized Rate Plan constitutes the primary Authorized Rate Plan, which is compensated as an Authorized GSM Subscriber. The activation of the data Authorized Rate Plan does not constitute a separate Authorized GSM Subscriber and is compensated as an Authorized Feature Subscriber. If an Authorized Upgrade Subscriber upgrades existing voice and data rate plans on the same Company SIM, then the voice Authorized Rate Plan determines Dealer’s compensation, and no compensation is earned for the upgrade of the data rate plan.
 
2.3   Adding a Voice Authorized Rate Plan Within the Chargeback Period. If a Subscriber or an Authorized Upgrade Subscriber is using a data Authorized Rate Plan as a stand-alone plan (not combined with a voice plan on the same Company SIM), and if this Subscriber adds a voice plan to the same Company SIM within the Chargeback Period, then:
 
 
(i)
the voice plan becomes the primary Authorized Rate Plan of the Authorized GSM Subscriber (subject to the Rate Plan change provision under Section 5 below); and
 
 
(ii)
the data Authorized Rate Plan deactivates and becomes an Authorized Feature eligible for compensation as an Authorized Feature Subscriber.
 
2.4   Adding a Voice Authorized Rate Plan After the Chargeback Period. If a Subscriber or an Authorized Upgrade Subscriber is using a data uthorized Rate Plan as a stand-alone plan (not combined with a voice plan on the same Company SIM), and if this Subscriber adds a voice plan to the same Company SIM after the Chargeback Period has expired, then:
 
 
(i)
the voice plan becomes the primary Authorized Rate Plan, but is not eligible for compensation; and
 
 
(ii)
the data Authorized Rate Plan becomes an Authorized Feature eligible for compensation as a Authorized Feature Subscriber.
 
22

 
      2.5   Compensation Terms. Each Approved Retail Location/Dealer location may be assigned a unique dealer code under which all Authorized Subscribers from that specific physical location must be activated to be eligible for compensation. Company will direct compensation to the Dealer that actually performs the activation based on the dealer code that is used during activation. All compensation will be paid or credited to Dealer by Company within 45 days of the end of the calendar month during which the activation occurred.
 
3.   Chargebacks.
 
3.1   Chargebacks for Authorized Subscribers Starting September 1, 2005. If any Authorized Subscriber (activated starting September 1, 2005) for which Dealer earned compensation under this Agreement deactivates, is deactivated, or changes to a rate plan that constitutes a deactivation as defined below, then Dealer must refund to Company all compensation earned by Dealer in any manner under this Agreement with respect to this former Subscriber (“ Chargeback ”). However, once earned, SMF is not subject to Chargeback. The Chargeback amount may be less than 100% if specifically stated in this Compensation Schedule. Subscriber suspensions will not trigger a Chargeback. The “ Chargeback Period ” or “ Vesting Period ” means the 180-day period beginning on the appropriate Activation Date where compensation is subject to Chargeback, except that any day or part of a day where a Subscriber is suspended does not count toward the Chargeback Period (and therefore will extend the Chargeback Period). Company will calculate all Chargeback amounts in its sole and absolute discretion and will automatically offset amounts owed to Dealer with amounts owed to Company under this Chargeback provision.
 
3.2   Rate Plan Changes as Deactivations Starting September 1, 2005. If conducted within the Chargeback Period, the following rate plan changes by any Authorized Subscriber (activated starting September 1, 2005) will constitute “deactivations” and will trigger a Chargeback:
 
(i)   to a Cingular GoPhone Rate Plan from an Authorized Rate Plan;
 
(ii)   to an Authorized Rate Plan from a Cingular GoPhone Rate Plan;
 
 
(iii)
to a GoPhone “Pay As You Go” rate plan from a GoPhone “Pick Your Plan” rate plan; and
 
 
(iv)
to a GoPhone “Pick Your Plan” rate plan from a GoPhone “Pay As You Go” rate plan.
 
3.3   Combined   Voice and Data Subscribers Starting September 1, 2005. For all Authorized GSM Subscribers (activated starting September 1, 2005), if the primary Authorized Rate Plan of an Authorized GSM Subscriber is deactivated within the Chargeback Period, but the data Authorized Rate Plan remains active, then the data Authorized Rate Plan becomes the primary Authorized Rate Plan for this Authorized GSM Subscriber (subject to the Rate Plan change provision under Section 5 below), and any Authorized Feature Subscriber compensation originally earned by Dealer for the data Authorized Rate Plan is subject to Chargeback. Separately, if the data Authorized Rate Plan of an Authorized GSM Subscriber is deactivated within the Chargeback Period, but the primary Authorized Rate Plan remains active, then any Authorized Feature Subscriber compensation originally earned by Dealer for the data Authorized Rate Plan is subject to Chargeback.
 
3.4   Chargebacks for Subscribers Activated Before September 1, 2005. Chargebacks for all activations that occurred before September 1, 2005 and that generated a commission from Company will be calculated and performed separately by Company, and there will be no change in how these chargebacks were handled from Dealer’s previous compensation Exhibit or Schedule, as applicable. Specifically, for all Dealers under an Agency Agreement with Company, the chargeback terms and conditions regarding the Vesting Period for all qualified Subscribers originally activated under the previously effective Exhibit C are in accordance with the Agency Agreement and that previously effective Exhibit C. For all Dealers under a former AT&T Wireless Dealer Agreement, the Chargeback terms and conditions for all Authorized Subscribers activated under a previously effective Schedule 2 are in accordance with that previously effective Schedule 2.
 
23

 
4.   Reactivation Within Chargeback Period.
 
4.1   Newly Acquired Reactivation. If any Authorized GSM Subscriber (not originally activated by Dealer) is deactivated within that Subscriber’s Chargeback Period, and then reactivated with the same mobile number by Dealer back to an Authorized Rate Plan, this reactivated Subscriber is considered a new Subscriber for purposes of qualifying as an Authorized GSM Subscriber. However, a reactivated Authorized GSM Subscriber is not added to Dealer’s Eligible Subscriber Base for SMF purposes.
 
4.2   Reactivation by Same Dealer. If an Authorized GSM Subscriber of Dealer is activated on or after September 1, 2005 and is deactivated within that Subscriber’s Chargeback Period, and then reactivated with the same mobile number by Dealer back to an Authorized Rate Plan, this reactivated Subscriber is considered a new Subscriber for purposes of qualifying as an Authorized GSM Subscriber. However, for Chargeback purposes, the Subscriber’s original Activation Date remains unchanged. If an Authorized GSM Subscriber of Dealer is activated before September 1, 2005 and is deactivated within that Subscriber’s Chargeback Period, and then reactivated with the same mobile number by Dealer back to an Authorized Rate Plan, Dealer earns the reconnect/reactivation compensation under the previously effective compensation Exhibit or Schedule, and the original Activation Date remains unchanged.
 
5.   Rate Plan Changes.
 
5.1   Activations Starting September 1, 2005. If, within the Chargeback Period, an Authorized GSM Subscriber (activated starting September 1, 2005) changes Service to another Authorized Rate Plan, within the same market for which a different amount of compensation is earned under this Compensation Schedule, Company will automatically make the appropriate monetary adjustment to the amount of compensation paid or credited to Dealer for that Authorized GSM Subscriber. If, within the Chargeback Period, the primary Authorized Rate Plan of an Authorized GSM Subscriber (activated starting on September 1, 2005) is deactivated but the data Authorized Rate Plan remains active, this event will constitute a rate plan change under this section where the data Authorized Rate Plan will change to the primary Authorized Rate Plan.
 
5.2 Activations Before September 1, 2005. Rate plan changes for all Subscribers that were activated before September 1, 2005 and are within the Chargeback Period/Vesting Period will be calculated and performed separately by Company, and there will be no change in how these rate plan changes were handled from Dealer’s previous compensation Exhibit or Schedule.
 
6.   Service Transfers from Market to Market.
 
6.1   Activations Starting September 1, 2005. For Authorized Subscribers (activated starting September 1, 2005), if the Authorized Subscriber processes the Service transfer from one Company market to another Company market through Company’s relocation center, then no Chargeback will occur. However, if the Authorized Subscriber does not follow Company’s relocation process, a Chargeback will occur if the Service transfer is within the Chargeback Period.

SMF Service Revenue consists solely of the applicable month’s billings for all monthly recurring charges for Authorized Rate Plans, Authorized Features, and additional local airtime charges billed to all Subscribers in Dealer’s Eligible Subscriber Base (defined below) in each market.   SMF Service Revenue is reduced by any Service discounts offered by Company to Subscribers.   SMF Service Revenue does not include any other charges billed to Subscribers, including without limitation, amounts billed for activation fees, upgrade fees, roaming fees, fees for additional services, Cingular GoPhone Rate Plan charges, carryover balances from prior month’s invoices, late payment fees, early termination fees, taxes, surcharges, assessments, or charges for any other Services that are not specifically identified as being within SMF Service Revenue.

Pre-9/1/05 Orange SMF Service Revenue is reduced by any Service discounts offered by Company to Subscribers.   Pre-9/1/05 Orange SMF Service Revenue does not include any other charges billed to Subscribers, including without limitation, amounts billed for activation fees, upgrade fees, roaming fees, Cingular GoPhone Rate Plan charges, carryover balances from prior month’s invoices, late payment fees, early termination fees, taxes, surcharges, assessments, or charges for any other Services that are not revenue used by Company to calculate SMF under Dealer’s Pre-9/1/05 Exhibit C.

Under legacy Cingular Agency Agreements, Dealer’s Eligible Subscriber Base is maintained separately for each individual market where Dealer is eligible and is comprised of the following Subscribers only: all   Authorized GSM Subscribers that Dealer activates under this SMF program of the Dealer Agreement starting September 1, 2005.

No new Subscribers will be added to Dealer’s Pre-9/1/05 Orange Subscriber Base.

(A)   Once a Subscriber has canceled or has been deactivated from Service in Company’s system, including without limitation transferring service from one Company market to another or changing rate plans from any post-paid rate plan to any Cingular GoPhone Rate Plan, that Subscriber is no longer eligible and will be removed from Dealer’s Eligible Subscriber Base or from Dealer’s Pre-9/1/05 Orange Subscriber Base. However, a Subscriber that deactivates and then reactivates with the same mobile number remains in Dealer’s Eligible Subscriber Base or in Dealer’s Pre-9/1/05 Orange Subscriber Base. Dealer’s Eligible Subscriber Base and Dealer’s Pre-9/1/05 Orange Subscriber Base are determined by Company and are based solely on Company’s records. Dealer’s Eligible Subscriber Base is the base of Subscribers that Company uses to determine both Dealer Churn Rate and the amount of SMF that Dealer earns.
 
(B)   Company may, at its discretion, remove all Subscribers from Dealer’s Eligible Subscriber Base and Dealer’s Pre-9/1/05 Orange Subscriber Base who were activated at a specific retail location if Dealer ceases to operate this location or otherwise transfers its interest in the location. Removal takes effect on the date of closure or transfer. However, if within 6 months after closure or transfer, Dealer opens and operates an alternate retail location in the same market that is approved in writing in advance by Company, then the Subscribers that remain active as of the date the alternate retail locations opens for business may be reinstated into Dealer’s Eligible Subscriber Base or Dealer’s Pre-9/1/05 Orange Subscriber Base. Company has the sole and absolute right to approve or not approve any proposed alternate retail location.
 
9.4   Dealer Churn Rate. Dealer is eligible to earn a monthly SMF for each Company market depending upon its Dealer Churn Rate in each individual market where Dealer is eligible for SMF under this Agreement. Dealer Churn Rate is a single number based on the actual Subscriber post-paid churn rate of Dealer’s Eligible Subscriber Base in each individual eligible market and is measured solely by Company, using Company’s records, rounded to the hundredth decimal place (“Dealer Churn Rate”). The formula Company uses to calculate Dealer Churn Rate is as follows. The number of Subscribers in Dealer’s Eligible Subscriber Base at the beginning and end of any month added together and then divided by 2 is the Dealer’s Average Eligible Subscriber Base. The Dealer Churn Rate is the number of Subscribers in Dealer’s Eligible Subscriber Base that deactivated from Company’s systems in the relevant market in a month divided by Dealer’s Average Eligible Subscriber Base for that same month.

SMF is not paid for past service, but rather, is paid for Dealer’s current services under this Agreement, including without limitation, activating new Subscribers, servicing existing Subscribers on Company’s behalf, achieving its churn requirements, and keeping this Agreement in effect. Accordingly, Dealer has no vested interest in SMF and the Subscribers remain Company’s Subscribers at all times. SMF is a potential monthly payment expressed and calculated as a percentage of Dealer’s SMF Service Revenue in the applicable month in each individual market where Dealer is eligible for SMF. SMF, if any, may be earned monthly, where Dealer is eligible, based on Dealer’s prior month Dealer Churn Rate and on the corresponding SMF percentage set forth in Schedule 2.1/Exhibit C-1. Dealer will earn no SMF in any month in which it does not achieve the Dealer Churn Rate set forth in Schedule 2.1/Exhibit C-1 for any individual market.

Accordingly, Dealer has no vested interest in Pre-9/1/05 Orange SMF and the Subscribers remain Company’s Subscribers at all times. Pre-9/1/05 Orange SMF is a potential monthly payment expressed and calculated as a percentage of Dealer’s Pre-9/1/05 Orange SMF Service Revenue in the applicable month in each individual market where Dealer is eligible for Pre-9/1/05 Orange SMF. Pre-9/1/05 Orange SMF, if any, may be earned monthly, where Dealer is eligible based on the corresponding Pre-9/1/05 Orange SMF percentage set forth in Schedule 2.1/Exhibit C-1 . Dealer’s Pre-9/1/05 Orange SMF eligibility and the calculation of Dealer’s Pre-9/1/05 Orange SMF are specific to each market where Dealer operates.
 
9.6   Termination of SMF and Pre-9/1/05 Orange SMF. Dealer does not earn and will not be paid any SMF or Pre-9/1/05 Orange SMF after the termination of the Dealer Agreement for any reason.

Dear Mr. Agent:

As you are aware, the purpose and intent of your contract with Cingular was for you to operate a physical location at which prospective Cingular subscribers might purchase our services. A few agents have, from time to time, made out bound calls to attract prospective subscribers.

Recently the regulations governing telemarketing have been strengthened both at the state and Federal levels. For example, Federal law prohibits using automated dialing equipment to call wireless subscribers. With the advent of local number portability it may no longer be possible to screen prospect lists for wireless telephone numbers. Accordingly, it might be possible to make a prohibited call in a seemingly innocent manner.

As another example, Federal law requires those making telemarketing calls to maintain an internal list of prospects who have requested not to receive additional calls. It would be difficult or impossible to maintain such a list if many agents were separately and without coordination calling prospects.

Penalties for violation of the telemarketing rules can be as much as $10,000 per violation.
Pursuant to our agreement, if Cingular Wireless becomes liable for your actions, you owe Cingular an obligation to indemnify it. Because telemarketing regulation has become so complex, Cingular has determined that it is not in either Cingular or its agent's interest for the agent base to make uncoordinated outbound solicitation calls.

Accordingly, it is Cingular's decision that, effective immediately, you refrain from telemarketing to prospective subscribers and focus your efforts on maximizing sales from retail traffic at your store.

We believe that it is still possible to contact our existing subscribers and those who have recently cancelled their service to be sure they are informed of promotions and new services that might be of interest. You may continue to contact existing and recently terminated subscribers activated by you on Cingular's service.

Even existing and recently terminated subscribers, though, have the right to ask Cingular and its agents not to contact them. Cingular maintains a list of its subscribers who have asked not to be contacted. If you plan to call existing and recently terminated subscribers, you must participate in the Cingular internal do not call process. As a participant, you will receive a periodic updated list of Cingular subscribers who have asked not to be called. You in turn will submit to Cingular the names of subscribers who you have contact who ask not to be called again. If you elect to participate in calling existing and recently terminated subscribers, you will need to execute a telemarketing addendum to your contract confirming your participation in the internal do not call process and your commitment to stay informed of and abide by the laws governing telemarketing.

Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated.

Very truly yours,

Cingular Wireless

All improvements, made in the leased premises by Lessee shall become and remain the property of Lessor without liability on the part of Lessor to pay for the same, and Lessee shall not be entitled to remove from the leased premises such improvements constructed by it.

In the event the portion of the Building in which the leased premises are specifically located is damaged by fire, unavoidable accident or casualty and the same can be repaired and access thereto restored within 150 days from the date of such fire, unavoidable accident or casualty, the parties hereto agree that the leased premises shall be repaired and restored by Lessor (to the extent insurance proceeds are made available to Lessor) to the original condition of said leased premises existing before said fire, unavoidable accident or casualty, and normal access thereto restored, and this lease shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that the rent during the period of repair shall be reduced to an amount which bears the same ratio to the rent provided for herein as the portion of the leased premises then available for use bears to the entire leased premises. Upon completion of such repair the rent shall thereafter be paid as hereinbefore provided in Sections 2 - 4.

Nothing done by Lessor or its agents shall be considered an acceptance of any attempted surrender of the leased premises unless Lessor specifically so agrees in writing.

27.   Non-Waiver: The failure of Lessor to exercise any of the remedies described herein and/or the waiver of a specific breach of a covenant by Lessee at any time by Lessor shall not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach of that or any other covenant contained in this lease agreement.

3.    Security Deposit:   Tenant shall   deposit with Landlord upon execution and delivery of this Lease by Tenant to Landlord $375.00 to be held as collateral security for the payment of any rentals and other sums of money for which Tenant shall become liable to Landlord, and for the faithful performance by Tenant of all covenants and conditions herein contained. If at any time during the Lease term any of the rent herein reserved shall be overdue and unpaid, or any other sum payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall be overdue and unpaid, then Landlord may, at its option, appropriate and apply any portion of said deposit to the payment of any such overdue rent or other sum. In the event of the failure of Tenant to keep and perform any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant, then Landlord, at its option, may appropriate and apply said entire deposit, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to compensate the Landlord for loss or damage sus-tained or suffered by Landlord due to such breach on the part of Tenant. Should the entire deposit, or any portion thereof, be appropriated and applied by Landlord for the payment of overdue rent or other sums due and payable to Landlord by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall, upon the written demand of Landlord, immediately remit to Landlord a sufficient amount in cash to restore said security to the original sum deposited, and Tenant's failure to do so within ten (10) days after receipt of such demand shall constitute a breach of this Lease. Said deposit shall be returned to Tenant at the end of the term of this Lease, provided Tenant shall have made all such payments and performed all such covenants and agreements. Landlord's obligation with respect to the security deposit is that of a debtor and not a trustee. LANDLORD WILL MAINTAIN THE SECURITY DEPOSIT IN AN ACCOUNT AT A NATIONAL BANKING INSTITUTION LOCATED IN ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, SEPARATE AND APART FROM LANDLORD'S GENERAL FUNDS AND MAY, BUT IS NOT OBLIGATED TO, MAINTAIN SAID SECURITY DEPOSIT IN AN INTEREST BEARING ACCOUNT, AND ALL INTEREST ACCRUING THEREON SHALL BE THE PROPERTY OF LANDLORD.
 
4.   Late Payments: If any installment of basic rent, or any other sum due and payable pursuant to this Lease, remains unpaid for more than ten (10) days after the due date thereof, Lessee shall pay Lessor a late payment charge equal to 20% of the basic rent.
 
5.   Lessee agrees and understands that the basic rent provided for in paragraph 2 includes Lessor’s estimate of current pro-rata costs.

6.   Peaceable Possession by Lessee and Inspection by Lessor: Lessor covenants and agrees that Lessee, during the term of this Lease, shall have full control and use of the leased premises for use as a professional office only and for no other purpose, but Lessee shall make no unlawful, improper, unsafe or offensive use of said leased premises, provided, however, that Lessee agrees to permit Lessor or its authorized representative to enter the leased premises during usual business hours with prior notice, and accompanied by a representative of Lessee for the purpose of inspecting and making any necessary repairs to the leased premises, except in cases of emergencies or perceived emergencies when no notice or accompaniment shall be required.

7.   Lessor’s Right to Relocate Lessee : Notwithstanding any other terms of this Lease, Lessor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to relocate Lessee to any other rental space within the development of which the leased premises are a part. In the event Lessor decides to exercise this right, Lessor will provide Lessee with at least thirty (30) days advance written notice before such relocation is to occur. In addition, this lease shall terminate upon the execution and commencement of any new lease agreement between Lessee and Lessor or any entity owned by or affiliated with Biltmore Farms, Inc. with respect to office space in the building of which the leased premises are a part or in the development.

8.   Insurance: Lessor covenants and agrees to keep said Building insured against loss by fire, with extended coverage. In no event shall Lessor be liable for the personal property or any fixtures, equipment or other property of Lessee located in the leased premises. Lessee agrees not to use the leased premises in any manner which will increase the premium rate for any kind of insurance affecting the Building and that if, because of anything done, caused to be done, permitted or omitted by Lessee, the premium rate for any kind of insurance affecting the Building shall be raised then, in such event, that the amount of the insurance in premium which Lessor shall thereby be obligated to pay for such insurance shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor on demand and as additional rent.

Lessee agrees that Lessor shall not be liable for any loss or damage to property of Lessee entrusted to employees or agents of Lessor or any property of Lessee by theft or otherwise. The provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to relieve Lessor of responsibility for grossly negligent or illegal acts of its employees, agents or assigns.

10.   Responsibilities of Lessor: Lessor shall maintain the roof, structural portions and exterior of the Building, plate glass, plumbing, heating, cooling and electrical systems, unless damage thereto shall result from the negligence of Lessee, in which case Lessee shall be responsible for any and all necessary repairs. Lessor will provide 110 volt electricity, heat, and air conditioning , Monday through Friday, between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., and Saturday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. without cost to Lessee. Lessor shall in no event be liable for damage to Lessee for the stoppage of heat, lighting or other service or for injury to persons or property caused by the stoppage of the same where the cause of failure is beyond the control of Lessor or necessitated by repairs or improvements to the Building, unless such stoppage continues for more than five (5) business days, whereupon rent will abate until such service is restored. Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for damage to persons or property caused by leaks, breaks or overflows of roof, pipes, drains, plumbing fixtures falling debris, imperfect wiring, latent defects in the Building, the acts of other Lessees, their invitees or guests, thefts, pilferage, or by any events or causes beyond the control of Lessor and not caused by Lessor's negligence.

11.   Alteration and Upkeep: All additions, alterations, improvements, partitions, excepting those partitions to be furnished initially by Lessor, or other installations to the leased premises required by Lessee shall be made by Lessee at its own expense and shall be made in a workmanlike manner without damage to the leased premises; provided, however, Lessee shall make no addition, alteration, improvement, partition or other installation to the leased premises without first obtaining the written approval of Lessor, which shall be in Lessor’s sole discretion. Lessor will install, at Lessee’s expense, a sign identifying Lessee that is conforming with the building standard on the interior premises doors leading to the leased office. Lessee further covenants and agrees to keep the leased premises in good condition and to surrender and deliver up said leased premises together with any improvements made thereto by Lessee, at the end of the term of this lease in as good condition and repair as the same exists this day, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Lessee agrees and covenants to restore the walls to their original paint color if Lessee obtains the right to paint the interior walls of the premises from Lessor. Notwithstanding the above, Lessee shall not have the right to alter or modify any existing interior walls. In no event shall Lessee allow liens or other encumbrances be placed upon the leased premises at anytime during or following the lease term.

12.   Removal of Fixtures: It is agreed that Lessee shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of the term or the removal of Lessee from the premises by eviction proceedings to remove from the leased premises all furniture, equipment, trade fixtures and other personal property owned and placed in said leased premises by Lessee, provided the same are removed without damage to the leased premises and are removed at or before the termination or the term of this lease. All improvements, made in the leased premises by Lessee shall become and remain the property of Lessor without liability on the part of Lessor to pay for the same, and Lessee shall not be entitled to remove from the leased premises such improvements constructed by it.

13.   Damage or Destruction: In the event the Building in which the leased premises are located is totally destroyed by fire, unavoidable accident or casualty, this lease shall thereupon terminate. In the event the Building in which the leased premises are located is damaged by fire, unavoidable accident or casualty to such an extent that the portion of said Building in which the leased premises are specifically located cannot be repaired within 150 days to its approximate condition existing immediately preceding such fire, unavoidable accident or casualty, and normal access to said leased premises restored within such time, this lease shall thereupon terminate. In the event the portion of the Building in which the leased premises are specifically located is damaged by fire, unavoidable accident or casualty and the same can be repaired and access thereto restored within 150 days from the date of such fire, unavoidable accident or casualty, the parties hereto agree that the leased premises shall be repaired and restored by Lessor (to the extent insurance proceeds are made available to Lessor) to the original condition of said leased premises existing before said fire, unavoidable accident or casualty, and normal access thereto restored, and this lease shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that the rent during the period of repair shall be reduced to an amount which bears the same ratio to the rent provided for herein as the portion of the leased premises then available for use bears to the entire leased premises. Upon completion of such repair the rent shall thereafter be paid as hereinbefore provided in Sections 2 - 4.

14.   Assignment or Sub-letting: Lessee may not assign, transfer or sublet the leased premises without Lessor’s consent in its sole discretion.

(b)  
Lessee fails or refuses to comply with any provision of this Lease not requiring the payment of money, and the failure or refusal continues for at least thirty (30) days after written notice from Lessor; provided, however, if any failure by Lessee to comply with this Lease cannot be corrected within such 30-day period solely as a result of nonfinancial circumstances outside of Lessee's control, and if Lessee has commenced substantial corrective actions within such 30-day period and is diligently pursuing such corrective actions, such 30-day period shall be extended for such additional time as is reasonably necessary to allow completion of actions to correct Lessee's noncompliance.

(c)  
Lessee's leasehold estate is taken on execution or other process of law in any action against Lessee.

(d)  
Lessee or any guarantor of this Lease files a petition under any chapter of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or under any similar law or statute of the United States or any state, or a petition is filed against Lessee or any such guarantor under any such statute and not dismissed with prejudice within ninety (90) days of filing, or a receiver or trustee is appointed for Lessee's leasehold estate or for any substantial part of the assets of Lessee or any such guarantor and such appointment is not dismissed with prejudice within ninety (90) days, or Lessee or any such guarantor makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

If Lessor elects to retake possession of the leased premises without terminating this lease, it may nonetheless at any subsequent time elect to terminate this lease and exercise the remedies provided above on termination of the lease. Nothing done by Lessor or its agents shall be considered an acceptance of any attempted surrender of the leased premises unless Lessor specifically so agrees in writing. No re-entry or taking of possession of the leased premises by Lessor, nor any reletting of the leased premises, shall be considered an election by Lessor to terminate this lease unless Lessor gives Lessee written notice of termination.

17.   Lessor’s Default: It shall be an Event of Default by Lessor (herein so called) only if Lessor fails to comply with any provision of this lease and the failure continues for at least thirty (30) days after written notice from Lessee to Lessor (with a copy to Lessor's mortgagees if Lessee has been notified in writing of the identities and addresses of such mortgagees); provided, however, if any failure by Lessor to comply with this lease cannot be corrected within such 30-day period solely as a result of nonfinancial circumstances outside of the control of Lessor, and if substantial corrective actions have commenced within such 30-day period and are being diligently pursued, such 30-day period shall be extended for such additional time as is reasonably necessary to allow completion of actions to correct Lessor's noncompliance.

18.   Lessee’s Remedies: In the event Landlord is in default under this Lease, beyond any applicable notice and cure period, and if such default is such that it materially, adversely interferes with Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises (or a portion thereof) as contemplated in this Lease, without waiving or releasing Landlord from any obligation hereunder, Tenant may (but is under no obligation to) take action to cure the circumstance or condition. Provided, however, Tenant must undertake any such curative action in good faith. If Tenant incurs expenses in attempting to cure a default of Landlord hereunder, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable and customary costs so incurred within thirty (30) days after Tenant provides an invoice therefor, which shall include invoices from the contractors performing any such work.
