conditions:
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the
receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree
as follows:
1. SALE OF SHARES; DELIVERIES. In exchange for Purchaser's
cash consideration, evidenced by a promise to pay and
annexed hereto, and the covenants and conditions set
forth herein, Seller shall sell and transfer to Purchaser
23,750 (Twenty-three Thousand Seven Hundred-fifty) shares
of the common stock of Montana Acquisition Corporation, a
United States corporation organized under the laws of the
State of Delaware ("Montana" and "Montana Stock",
respectively) held by Seller. Upon transfer in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Montana
Stock will be fully paid and non-assessable. At the
Closing, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a
certificate or certificates representing the Montana
Stock, duly endorsed by Seller and issued to Purchaser,
and accompanied by appropriate stock powers, with
Medallion Signature Guarantee affixed by an authorized
United States banking corporation, subject to Seller's
rights as a secured party in the Montana Stock pursuant
to the Pledge and Security Agreement of even date
herewith.
2. PAYMENT FOR THE SHARES; PURCHASER CLOSING CONDITIONS.
Contemporaneously on the date hereof, Purchaser has
issued a negotiable promissory note (the "Note") in
principal the amount of $85,000 (Eighty-five Thousand and
00/100 Dollars) to the Seller as full and complete
payment for the Montana Stock. Purchaser hereby
acknowledges receipt of such payment by acceptance of the
Note, and of the pledge and security agreement that
operates concomitantly with the Note.
The obligation of the parties to consummate the
transactions to be respectively performed in connection
with the closing hereunder (the "Closing") is subject to
satisfaction of the following conditions:
(i) each of the conditions to closing under that certain
Common Stock Purchase Agreement, dated the date
hereof, by and between Purchaser and Seller shall have
been satisfied and the parties thereto shall have
executed and delivered this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall have
closed or be closing simultaneously with the Closing
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
(ii) the Parties' respective representations and
warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be true
and correct in all material respects at and as of the
Closing Date, the parties shall have performed and
complied with all of their respective covenants
hereunder in all material respects through the
Closing, and each of the parties shall have procured
any third party consents necessary to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby.
3. PURCHASER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. In order to
induce Seller to accept this Agreement, Purchaser hereby
represents and warrants to Seller, as follows:
(a) OPPORTUNITY TO INVESTIGATE. Purchaser has been
given a full opportunity to ask questions of, and to
receive answers from, the officers, agents and
representatives of Seller and of Montana concerning
the financial condition and the corporate history and
status of Montana and to obtain such other information
that Purchaser and Purchaser's professional advisors
(if any) desire in order to evaluate the purchase of
the Montana Stock. All such questions have been
answered to the full satisfaction of Purchaser.
(b) ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RISKS. Purchaser acknowledges and
understands that Montana is not currently operating,
that Montana has no assets, that in purchasing the
Montana Stock Purchaser is making a highly speculative
and risky investment, and that Purchaser may lose his
entire investment in the Montana Stock. As the
holder-in-supermajority of Montana Stock following the
Closing, Purchaser understands that Montana is
obligated to file quarterly, annual, transitional, and
current reports with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"), and, Montana is delinquent in
its filings under its reporting obligations to the
SEC.
(c) SHARES REGISTERED. Purchaser understands that the
Montana Stock being purchased from Seller has not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933; however,
the Purchaser understands that the Montana Stock,
which is being acquired pursuant to this Agreement,
may be sold, offered for sale, transferred, pledged,
hypothecated or otherwise disposed of in accordance
with the rules and regulations of the SEC, and under
applicable Federal securities laws without the
requirement of an SEC registration statement.
(d) MAJORITY SHAREHOLDER. Purchaser understands that
Seller is the current sole shareholder in Montana,
owning one hundred percent (100.0%) of the Montana
Stock
(e) INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION. In making Purchaser's
decision to purchase the Montana Stock, Purchaser has
relied solely upon independent investigations made by
Purchaser. Purchaser has received no representation
or warranty from Seller, Montana, or any of the
affiliates, employees, or agents of Seller or Montana,
except as expressly set forth herein.
(f) LEGAL AUTHORITY. Purchaser has full power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to
perform his obligations hereunder. This Agreement
constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation
of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its
terms and conditions. As of the Closing all consents,
permits or approvals by any third parties, if any,
necessary in order to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement shall have been
obtained.
(g) NONCONTRAVENTION. Neither the execution and the
delivery of this Agreement and the associated Stock
Pledge and Security Agreement and the Promissory Note,
nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, nor the payment in full of the Promissory Note
in accordance with its terms will (1) conflict with or
violate the terms of any certificate of trust, trust
agreement or other instrument governing the Purchaser;
(2) violate any statute, regulation, rule, injunction,
judgment, order, decree, ruling, charge, or other

under, result in the acceleration of, create in any
party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify, or
cancel, or require any notice under any agreement,
contract, lease, license, instrument, or other
arrangement to which Purchaser is a party or by which
it is bound or to which any of his assets are subject.
(h) ACCURACY AND SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS. Each
representation and warranty of Purchaser contained
herein and all information furnished by Purchaser to
Seller is true, correct, and complete in all respects.
All representations and warranties set forth above
will be true, correct and complete in all respects on
and as of the date of the transfer of the Montana
Stock by Seller to Purchaser, as if made on and as of
such date and shall survive such transfer.
