The Company was formed with the contemplated purpose to raise funds in the public market in order to find a suitable business acquisition and/or merger candidate.

We are a blank check company subject to Rule 419 under the Securities Act of 1933. We were organized as a vehicle to acquire or merge with an operating business. SUMMARY FINANCIAL INFORMATION The following is a summary of our financial information and is qualified in its entirety by our audited financial statements. For the From Inception Year October 9, 2001 Ended To October 31, 2002 September 30, 2003 (Audited) Unaudited ---------------------------- Statement of Income Data: Net Sales 0 0 Net profit (Loss) $ 0 $ (1,445) Net Loss Per Share $ (0.00) $ (.001) Shares Outstanding 1,050,000 1,050,000 As of September 30, 2003 Unaudited ----------------- Balance Sheet Data Cash $ 0 Working Capital $ 0 Total Assets $ 0 Long Term Debt $ 0 Total Liabilities $ 0 Total Shareholders' Equity $ (395) -6- SUMMARY OF OFFERING Common stock outstanding prior to this offering................... 1,050,000 Securities offered by us in this offering...2,000,000 shares of common stock Minimum amount of securities to be sold 1,000,000 shares of common stock Common stock to be outstanding after this offering..............3,050,000 shares of common stock Use of proceeds................................... We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering to seek out a suitable business acquisition. Trading symbols...................................... Under Rule 419 we plan only to list our shares once an acquisition has taken place and a post- effective registration statement has been filed Limited State Registration Initially, the only state in which our securities may be sold is New York State. Therefore, you may only resell your shares in New York State. In the event we expand the number of states in which our securities will be sold, we will file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement and re-circulate prospectuses to all prospective investors to whom prospectuses had previously been distributed. In addition, we may sell shares to investors who reside in foreign countries. In that event, we will register or qualify the sale of our shares in such country unless an exemption from registration or qualification is available. Blue Sky The Company intends on registering its stock with Standard & Poors which will allow the Company to sell its stock in various states without need for further registration in those states and as such the Company will limit such sales of stock under this registration to such states for which it will be exempt from registration. -7- RISK FACTORS Rule 419 Risks Return of Funds In the Event That An Acquisition Does Not Occur You may not have access to your funds for up to 18 months from the date of this prospectus; if returned you will not get interest on your funds. If we are unable to locate an acquisition candidate meeting our acquisition criteria, you will have to wait 18 months from the date of this prospectus before a proportionate portion of your funds is returned, without interest. You will be offered return of your proportionate portion of the funds held in escrow only upon the reconfirmation offering required to be conducted upon execution of an agreement to acquire an acquisition candidate which represents 80% of the maximum offering proceeds. If Investors Do Not Reconfirm Their Investment Under Rule 419 If a sufficient number of investors do not reconfirm their investments, the business combination will not be closed and you will not be issued your securities. If a Business Combination Cannot Be Made On a Timely Basis Under Rule 419 if a business combination has not been consummated, the Company will not be able to (i) sustain operations until it finds another investment and (ii) will not be to obtain a listing on a stock exchange because of the restrictions outlined in Rule 419. Time Spent By Management Management does not devote full time to the company and we may end up missing a target opportunity. Lack of Operating History This company has had no operations to date. If the Company is unable to Successfully locate a business venture or commence its own operations with its own generated ideas, it is unlikely that the Company would be able to continue any sort of operations in the future. The Company as a Going Concern The Company has no revenues to date and will require that on an interim basis that management will have to supplement any funds required to sustain the Company's limited operations until it can consummate an acquisition. If Management is unable to advance such funds, the ability of the Company to Continue will be severely hampered. Lack of Prior Market for Securities of the Company. No prior market has existed for the securities being offered hereby and no assurance can be given that a market will develop subsequent to this registration statement unless the Company consummates a business combination. Dilution of Stock Price Once a business combination is consummated, additional offerings may have to be made in the future to meet additional cash flow needs with such offerings may include warrants for issuance of additional common stock, further diluting the common stock outstanding. These warrants if exercised will most likely require that we register their shares for resale. Even when shares are not registered for resale, the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission permit a holder who has held shares for one year to sell the stock into the public market subject, in some cases, to volume and other limitations. A person who has held shares for two years can generally sell without limitation.

YOUR RIGHTS AND SUBSTANTIVE PROTECTION UNDER RULE 419 Rule 419 requires that offering proceeds and the certificates, representing the securities purchased by you and other investors in this offering, be deposited into an escrow or trust account governed by an agreement which contains certain terms and provisions specified by Rule 419. Under Rule 419, the funds will be released to us and the securities will be released to you only after we have met certain basic conditions: - We must execute an agreement for the acquisition of a business or asset that will constitute our business and for which the fair value of the business or net assets to be acquired represents at least 80% of the maximum offering proceeds. - We must file a post-effective amendment to or registration statement which includes the results of this offering including, but not limited to, the gross offering proceeds raised, and any, amounts disbursed to us and amounts remaining in the escrow account. In addition, we must disclose the specific amount, use and appropriation of funds dispersed to us to date, including, payments to officers, directors, controlling shareholders or affiliates, specifying the amounts and purposes of these payments, and the terms of a reconfirmation offer that must contain conditions prescribed by Rule 419.

The acquisition will be closed only if a minimum number of investors representing 80% of the units sold elect to reconfirm their investment. If a closed acquisition has not occurred after 18 months from the date this registration statement becomes effective, the funds held in the escrow account shall be returned to all investors on a proportionate basis within 5 business days by first class mail or other equally prompt means. The funds will be released to us, and the securities will be released to you, only after: The escrow agent has received a signed representation from us and any other evidence acceptable by the escrow agent that: We have executed an agreement for the acquisition of a candidate for which the fair market value of the business represents at least 80% of the maximum offering proceeds, including the total exercise price of warrants if any, and has filed the required post-effective amendment. The post-effective amendment has been declared effective. -9- We have satisfied all of the prescribed conditions of the reconfirmation offer. The acquisition of the business with a fair value of at least 80% of the maximum proceeds has closed. Accordingly, we have entered into an escrow agreement with Archer Alexander, Securities which provides that attached hereto as an exhibit.: Rule 419 also allows for warrants, convertible securities or other Derivative securities relating to securities held in the escrow account to be exercised or converted in accordance with their terms, provided that certificates representing the securities received upon exercise or conversion, together with any cash or other consideration paid for the exercise or conversion, be promptly deposited into the escrow account. However, you and other warrant holders may not exercise your warrants until the escrow agent has released the funds to us and the share certificates and warrant certificates to you and other investors. -10- USE OF PROCEEDS We estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately $1,000,000 from our sale of 2,000,000 shares offered by us if all securities are sold. If only the minimum of 1,000,000 shares are sold, then we will receive $ 500,000. These estimates are based on an offering price of $0.50 per share of common stock We expect to use the net proceeds of this offering for the following purposes:
If Maximum Offering is Sold Amount Percentage Business acquisitions $ 900,000 90.0% Working capital and general corporate purposes 100,000 10.0% ---------- ----- Total $ 1,000,000 100.0% ========== ======
If Minimum Offering is Sold Amount Percentage Business acquisitions $ 450,000 90.0% Working capital and general corporate purposes 50,000 10.0% ---------- ----- Total $ 500,000 100.0% ========== ======
The use of proceeds is subject to the conditions as set out above in compliance with Rule 419. Working capital and general corporate purposes including the following: - - hiring of personnel- enhancing support and management systems - - funding short term losses - - setting up of office environment for corporate headquarters - - payment of staff - - acquisition of office and telecommunication equipment. On the assumption that we will proceed with our original business objectives, then we will expect the net proceeds from this offering, together with the future expected cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital requirements for at least 12 months following the consummation of this offering. We may be required to seek additional sources of capital sooner if: - operating assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate; or - we may wish to make further business acquisitions not intended from this offering which may require additional funds. None of the funds raised in connection with the proceeds above will be used to repay advances made by founders, directors or officers or any unrelated parties who may advance funds from time to time in order to keep the Company operational until the Company meets its business objectives. It is quite possible that the Company may seek other post-effective Registration statements to reimburse any advances made by way of stock. Pending the uses described above or in the event that Rule 419 does not apply, the net proceeds will be invested in a money market account and/or short-term government bonds. - 11- CAPITALIZATION The following table sets forth our capitalization as of September 30, 2003. September 30, 2003 ------------------- Long term debt $ 0 Stockholders' equity Preferred stock, par value $.001, authorized 5,000,000, issued - none Common stock, $ 0.001 par value, authorized 50,000,000, issued - 1,050,000 1,050 Deficit accumulated during the development stage (1,445) ------ Total stockholders' equity (395) ------ Total Capitalization $ 0 ====== DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE The offering prices are purely arbitrary, the Company is a development stage company with no discernable operations at this time and has not had its shares listed on any stock exchange. Through this registration statement the Company wishes to register its shares to sell and use such proceeds to acquire or merge with a viable business and at that time make an application to list on a stock exchange. DIVIDEND POLICY Holders of the Company's Common Stock are entitled to dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor. The Company does not anticipate the declaration or payment of any dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company intends to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of its business. Future dividend policy will be subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be contingent upon future earnings, if any, the Company's financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors. Therefore, there can be no assurance that any dividends of any kind will ever be paid. - 12 - DILUTION The dilution between the initial public offering price per share of common stock and the net tangible book value per share after this offering constitutes the dilution to investors in this offering. Net tangible book value per share of common stock is determined by dividing our net tangible book value(total tangible assets less total liabilities) by the number of shares of common stock outstanding. Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2003 was $ 0.00 Our net tangible book value per share was $0.00. The public offering per share is $ 0.50 and the net proceeds will be $ 0.50 per share. The pro forma net tangible book value after the offering will be $ 1,000,000 assuming the maximum offering of common stock is subscribed for. The pro forma net tangible book value per share after the offering will be $ 0.33 per share. Therefore the shares purchased by investors assuming all shares of this offering will be sold will be diluted by $ 0.17 or 34%. As of September 30, 2003, there were 1,050,000 shares of our common stock outstanding. Dilution represents the difference between the public offering price and the net pro forma tangible book value per share immediately following the completion of the public offering. The table below sets forth, as of the date of the prospectus, the percentage of our common stock to be purchased by the public investors compared to the percentage of our common stock to be owned by the present stockholders, and the comparative amounts paid for shares by the public investors as compared to the total consideration paid by our present stockholders.
Approximate Approximate Percentage Percentage Shares Total Shares Total Total Stockholder Purchased Outstanding Consideration Consideration ------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Investors 2,000,000 66.0% $ 1,000,000 99.9% Existing Stockholders 1,050,000 34.0% $1,050 0.1% We sold 1,050,000 shares to the founders, officers and directors, and other related individuals for expenses and services rendered on behalf of the Company. These shares are not being registered at this time.
SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS There are no selling shareholders in this registration statement. -13- PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION This is a self-underwritten offering. We offer the right to subscribe for 2,000,000 shares at $ 0.50 per share. This offering will close after 270 days (the "Closing Date") from the date that this registration statement becomes effective. If the Company is able to sell the minimum offering amount of $500,000 before the Closing date, then it will be up to the Company to decide whether it wishes to continue to offer the securities for sale. In any event the Company will not offer the common stock for sale beyond the Closing Date. We will not pay any compensation to any person for the offer and sale of the Shares unless they are a broker-dealer or an enterprise that is licenced to sell such securities. Mr Bernard Spiegel our Secretary/Treasurer shall conduct this share offering. He plans to distribute prospectuses related to this offering. We estimate that we will distribute approximately 100 prospectuses to acquaintances, friends and business associates. Although Mr. Spiegel is an "associated person" as that term is defined in Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities Exchange Act, he will not be deemed to be a broker because: - he will not be subject to a statutory disqualification as that term is defined in Section 3(a) of the Securities Exchange Act at the time of the sale of the securities; he will not be compensated in connection with the sale of our shares; and he shall restrict his participation to the following activities: preparing written communications or delivering them through the mails or other means that does not involve his oral solicitation of a potential purchaser; In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states. If applicable, the shares may be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states, the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption for such registration or qualification requirement is available and complied with. Brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the shares as agents may receive compensation paid commissions, discounts, or concessions from the selling shareholder and/or purchasers of the common stock from whom such broker-dealers may act as agent, or to whom they may sell as principal, or both. The compensation paid to a particular broker-dealer may be less than or in excess of customary commission rates. Bernard Spiegel may be deemed an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Any broker-dealers who may act in connection with the sale of the shares hereunder may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions they receive and proceeds of any sale of the shares may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. - 14 - We cannot presently estimate the amount of compensation if any that any agent will receive. We know of no existing arrangements with any other shareholder, broker, dealer, underwriter or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares. At a time particular offer of shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed that will set forth the names of any agents, underwriters or dealers, any compensation and any other required information. We will pay all of the expenses incident to the registration, offering and sale of the shares to the public other than commissions or discounts of underwriters, broker-dealers or agents if and when such brokers-dealers and agents are engaged by the Company. The Company has also agreed to indemnify the directors against specified liabilities including liabilities under the Securities Act. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Company, we have advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore, unenforceable. We have also advised the other shareholders that if they are engaged in a distribution of the shares included in this prospectus they are required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes associated persons any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participate in such distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares offered here by this prospectus.

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding, by judgment, order, settlement, conviction upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith in a manner he 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 reasonable cause to believe the action was unlawful. (b) The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not, opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation, unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses which such court deems proper. (c) To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections (a) and (b) of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be Indemnified against expenses (including attorney's fees) actually and reasonably Incurred by him in connection therewith. - 18 - (d) Any indemnification under Section (a) or (b) of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the officer, director and employee or agent is proper in the circumstances, because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section (a) or (b) of this Article. Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a Majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote and represented at a meeting called for purpose. (e) Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition or such action, suit or proceeding, as authorized in Section (d) of this Article, upon receipt of an understanding by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount, unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article. (f) The Board of Directors may exercise the corporation's power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under this Article. (g) The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under these Amended Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, agreements, vote of the shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office and shall continue as to person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representative of such a person. Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, We are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable ORGANIZATION WITHIN LAST FIVE YEARS N/A DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Business Development Amante Corporation. (the "Company") was organized on October 9, 2001, under the laws of the State of Nevada, having the stated purpose of engaging in any lawful activities. The Company was formed with the contemplated purpose to acquire a business that may be engaged in technology industry in the United States and elsewhere. The Company is searching for a viable entity upon which to merge and/or acquire. - 19 - The Company never engaged in an active trade or business throughout The period from October 9, 2001 until the filing of this form. On October 9, 2001 the Company issued stock a total of 1,050,000 shares of common stock. Marvin N. Winick was issued 525,000 shares of common stock, 503124 Ontario Limited was issued 175,000 shares of common stock, Bernard Spiegel was issued 17,500 shares of common stock and 157,500 of common stock was issued to related individuals of Mr. Spiegel. Additionally, 175,000 shares of common stock were issued equally to ten other individuals, bringing the total shareholders in the Company to 22. Mr. Spiegel and Mr. Winick are officers and directors of the Company. The stock has been issued to reimburse all individuals for costs and expenses and services rendered in connection with investigation and research for a suitable business acquisition or merger candidate and for costs incurred in connection with this registration statement. The Company has now begun to consider and investigate potential business opportunities. The Company is a blank check company and as such is subject to Rule 419 of the Securities Act as set out on page 9 above. The Company will remain as such until it is able to locate and consummate a merger or acquisition with a private entity. Because of the Company's current status of having limited assets and no recent operating history, in the event the Company does successfully acquire or merge with an operating business opportunity, it is likely that the Company's present shareholders will experience substantial dilution and there will be a probable change in control of the Company. On November 15, 2001, the Company also determined it should become active in seeking potential operating businesses and business opportunities with the intent to acquire or merge with such businesses. Any target acquisition or merger candidate of the Company will become subject to the same reporting requirements as the Company upon consummation of any such business combination. Thus, in the event that the Company successfully completes an acquisition or merger with another operating business, the resulting combined business must provide audited financial statements for at least the two most recent fiscal years, or in the event that the combined operating business has been in business less than two years, audited financial statements will be required from the period of inception of the target acquisition or merger candidate. The Company's principal executive offices are located at 14 Pico Crescent, Thornhill, Ontario Canada L4J 8P4 and its telephone number is (905) 731-0189. Business of Issuer The Company has no recent operating history and no representation is made, nor is any intended, that the Company will be able to carry on future business activities successfully. There can be no assurance that the Company. will have the ability to acquire or merge with an operating business, business opportunity or property that will be of material value to the Company. Management plans to investigate, research and, if justified, potentially acquire or merge with one or more businesses or business opportunities. The Company currently has no commitment or arrangement, written or oral, to participate in any business opportunity and management cannot predict the nature of any potential business opportunity it may ultimately consider. Management will have broad discretion in its search for and negotiations with any potential business or business opportunity. - 20 - Sources of Business Opportunities The Company intends to use various sources in its search for potential business opportunities including its officers and directors, consultants, special advisors, securities broker-dealers, venture capitalists, member of the financial community and others who may present management with unsolicited proposals. Because of the Company's limited capital, it may not be able to retain on a fee basis professional firms specializing in business acquisitions and reorganizations. The Company will most likely have to rely on outside sources, not otherwise associated with the Company, that will accept their compensation only after the Company has finalized a successful acquisition or merger. The Company will rely upon the expertise and contacts of such persons, will use notices in written publications and personal contacts to find merger and acquisition candidates, the exact number of such contacts dependent upon the skill and industriousness of the participants and the conditions of the marketplace. None of the participants in the process will have any past business relationship with management. To date the Company has paid certain consultants with stock for services rendered but has not entered into any definitive agreements nor understandings regarding retention of any of the consultants already remunerated to assist the Company in its search for business opportunities. The Company does not intend to restrict its search to any specific kind of industry or business. The Company may investigate and ultimately acquire a venture that is in its preliminary or development stage, is already in operation, or in various stages of its corporate existence and development. Management cannot predict at this time the status or nature of any venture in which the Company may participate. A potential venture might need additional capital or merely desire to have its shares publicly traded. The most likely scenario for a possible business arrangement would involve the acquisition of, or merger with, an operating business that does not need additional capital, but which merely desires to establish a public trading market for its shares. Management believes that the Company could provide a potential public vehicle for a private entity interested in becoming a publicly held corporation with this registration statement. Evaluation Once the Company has identified a particular entity as a potential acquisition or merger candidate, management will seek to determine whether acquisition or merger is warranted or whether further investigation is necessary. Such determination will generally be based on management's knowledge and experience, (limited solely to working history - See "Directors, Executive Officers, etc.") or with the assistance of outside advisors and consultants evaluating the preliminary information available to them. Management may elect to engage outside independent consultants to perform preliminary analysis of potential business opportunities. However, because of the Company's limited capital it may not have the necessary funds for a complete and exhaustive investigation of any particular opportunity. Management will not devote full time to finding a merger candidate, will continue to engage in outside unrelated activities, and anticipates devoting no more than an average of five (5) hours weekly to such undertaking. - 21 - In evaluating such potential business opportunities, the Company will consider, to the extent relevant to the specific opportunity, several factors including potential benefits to the Company and its shareholders; working capital, financial requirements and availability of additional financing; history of operation, if any; nature of present and expected competition; quality and experience of management; need for further research, development or exploration; potential for growth and expansion; potential for profits; and other factors deemed relevant to the specific opportunity. Because the Company has not located or identified any specific business opportunity as of the date hereof, there are certain unidentified risks that cannot be adequately expressed prior to the identification of a specific business opportunity. There can be no assurance following consummation of any acquisition or merger that the business venture will develop into a going concern or, if the business is already operating, that it will continue to operate successfully. Many of the potential business opportunities available to the Company may involve new and untested products, processes or market strategies which may not ultimately prove successful. At this time the Company is evaluating a number of opportunities. If any of these opportunities are pursued with a view to acquisition or merger, the Company will file a post-effective registration statement to effect this merger or acquisition. In addition the potential business that may be acquired must produce audited financial statements for the last 2 years. If the potential acquisition has not been existence for 2 years then audited financial statements will be required for such shorter period. If the potential acquisition is a private company, there is a good chance that the financial statements have not been audited and our company will not be able merge with this potential acquisition for the purposes of going public unless such financial statements are audited. Form of Potential Acquisition or Merger Presently the Company cannot predict the manner in which it might participate in a prospective business opportunity. Each separate potential opportunity will be reviewed and, upon the basis of that review, a suitable legal structure or method of participation will be chosen. The particular manner in which the Company participates in a specific business opportunity will depend upon the nature of that opportunity, the respective needs and desires of the Company and management of the opportunity, and the relative negotiating strength of the parties involved. Actual participation in a business venture may take the form of an asset purchase, lease, joint venture, license, partnership, stock purchase, reorganization, merger or consolidation. The Company may act directly or indirectly through an interest in a partnership, corporation, or other form of organization, however, the company does not intend to participate in opportunities through the purchase of minority stock positions. Because of the Company's current status of inactivity since inception October 9, 2001, and its concomitant lack of assets and relevant operating history, it is likely that any potential merger or acquisition with another operating business will require substantial dilution to the Company's existing shareholders' interests. There will probably be a change in control of the Company, with the incoming owners of the targeted merger or acquisition candidate taking over control of the Company. Management has not established any guidelines as to the amount of control it will offer to prospective business opportunity candidates, since this issue will depend to a large degree on the economic strength and desirability of each candidate, and the corresponding relative bargaining power of the parties. However, management will endeavor to negotiate the best possible terms for the benefit of the Company's shareholders as the case arises. Management may actively negotiate or otherwise consent to the purchase of any portion of their common stock as a - 22 - condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition. In such an event, existing shareholders may not be afforded an opportunity to approve or consent to any particular stock buy-out transaction. However the terms of the sale of shares held by present management of the Company will be extended equally to all other current shareholders. Management does not have any plans to borrow funds to compensate any persons, consultants, or promoters in conjunction with its efforts to find and acquire or merge with another business opportunity. Management does not have any plans to borrow funds to pay compensation to any prospective business opportunity, or shareholders, management, creditors, or other potential parties to the acquisition or merger. In either case, it is unlikely that the Company would be able to borrow significant funds for such purposes from any conventional lending sources. With this registration statement the Company hopes to raise enough funds that will allow it to go public and make a serious effort to acquire or merge with a suitable candidate. Management will also endeavor to raise funds through he private sale of its securities. Such a private sale would be limited to persons exempt under the Commission's Regulation D or other rule, or provision or exemption, if any applies. However, no private sales are contemplated by the Company's management at this time until the stock can be registered for sale under this registration. If a private sale of the Company's securities is deemed appropriate in the future, management will endeavor to acquire funds on the best terms available to the Company. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funding when and if needed, or that such funding, if available, can be obtained on terms reasonable or acceptable to the Company. The Company does not anticipate using Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 to raise any funds any time within the next year, subject only to its potential applicability after consummation of a merger or acquisition. In the event of a successful acquisition or merger, a finder's fee, in the form of cash or securities of the Company, may be paid to persons instrumental in facilitating the transaction and escrowed in accordance to Rule 419. The Company has not established any criteria or limits for the determination of a finder's fee, although most likely an appropriate finder's fee will be negotiated between the parties, including the potential business opportunity candidate, based upon economic considerations and reasonable value as estimated and mutually agreed upon at that time. A finder's fee would only be payable upon completion of the proposed acquisition or merger in the normal case, and management does not contemplate any other arrangement at this time. Current management has not in the past used any particular consultants, advisors or finders. Management has not actively undertaken a search for, nor retention of, any finder's fee arrangement with any person. It is possible that a potential merger or acquisition candidate would have its own finder's fee arrangement, or other similar business brokerage or investment banking arrangement, whereupon the terms may be governed by a pre-existing contract; in such case, the Company may be limited in its ability to affect the terms of compensation, but most likely the terms would be disclosed and subject to approval pursuant to submission of the proposed transaction to a vote of the Company's shareholders. Management cannot predict any other terms of a finder's fee arrangement at this time. If such a fee arrangement was proposed, independent management and directors would negotiate the best terms available to the Company so as not to compromise the fiduciary duties of the representative in the proposed transaction, and the Company would require that the proposed arrangement would be submitted to the shareholders for prior ratification in an appropriate manner. - 23 - Management does not contemplate that the Company would acquire or merge With a business entity in which any officer or director of the Company has an interest. Any such related party transaction, however remote, would be submitted for approval by an independent quorum of the Board of Directors and the proposed transaction would be submitted to the shareholders for prior ratification in an appropriate manner. The Company's management has not had any contact, discussions, or other understandings regarding any particular business opportunity at this time, regardless of any potential conflict of interest issues. Accordingly, the potential conflict of interest is merely a remote theoretical possibility at this time. Blank Check Company Status It is believed at this time that the Company will be classified as a blank check company and as such is subject to Rule 419 in connection with the raising of capital. The effects of Rule 419 are discussed in this registration statement elsewhere. Rights of Shareholders The Company does intend to provide its shareholders with complete disclosure documentation including audited financial statements concerning a target company and its business prior to any mergers or acquisitions by becoming a reporting issuer once this registration statement is effective. Competition Because the Company has not identified any potential acquisition or merger candidate, it is unable to evaluate the type and extent of its likely competition. The Company is aware that there are several other public companies with only nominal assets that are also searching for operating businesses and other business opportunities as potential acquisition or merger candidates. The Company will be in direct competition with these other public companies in its search for business opportunities and, due to the Company's limited funds, it may be difficult to successfully compete with these other companies. Employees As of the date hereof, the Company does not have any employees and has no plans for retaining employees until such time as the Company's business warrants the expense, or until the Company successfully acquires or merges with an operating business. The Company may find it necessary to periodically hire part-time clerical help on an as-needed basis. The funds needed in this case will be advanced by Mr. Winick. Facilities The Company is currently using at no cost to the Company, as its principal place of business offices of one of its directors and officer (provided at no cost), located in Thornhill, Ontario Canada. Although the Company has no written agreement and pays no rent for the use of this facility, it is contemplated that at such future time as an acquisition or merger transaction may be completed, the Company will secure commercial office space from which it will conduct its business. Until such an acquisition or merger, the Company lacks any basis for determining the kinds of office space or other facilities necessary for its future business. The Company has no current plans to secure such commercial office space. It is also possible that a merger or acquisition candidate would have adequate existing facilities upon completion of such a transaction, and the Company's principal offices may be transferred to such existing facilities. - 24 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company is considered a development stage company with limited assets or capital, and with no operations or income since inception October 9, 2001. The costs and expenses associated with the preparation and filing of this registration statement and other operations of the Company have been paid forby a shareholder, specifically Mr. Marvin N. Winick (see Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management Marvin N. Winick is one of the controlling shareholders). Mr. Winick has agreed to pay future costs associated with filing future reports under Exchange Act of 1934 if the Company is unable to do so. It is anticipated that the Company will require only nominal capital to maintain the corporate viability of the Company and any additional needed funds will most likely be provided by the Company's existing shareholders or its sole officer and director in the immediate future. Current shareholders have not agreed upon the terms and conditions of future financing and such undertaking will be subject to future negotiations, except for the express commitment of Mr. Winick to fund required 34 Act filings. Repayment of any such funding will also be subject to such negotiations. However, unless the Company is able to facilitate an acquisition of or merger with an operating business or is able to obtain significant outside financing, there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. In the opinion of management, inflation has not and will not have a material effect on the operations of the Company until such time as the Company successfully completes an acquisition or merger. At that time, management will evaluate the possible effects of inflation on the Company as it relates to its business and operations following a successful acquisition or merger. Management plans may but do not currently provide for experts to secure A successful acquisition or merger partner so that it will be able to continue As a going concern. In the event such efforts are unsuccessful, contingent plans have been arranged to provide that the current Director of the Company is to fund required future filings under the 34 Act, and existing shareholders have expressed an interest in additional funding if necessary to continue the Company as a going concern. Plan of Operation During the next twelve months, the Company will actively seek out and investigate possible business opportunities with the intent to acquire or merge with one or more business ventures. In its search for business opportunities, management will follow the procedures outlined above Because the Company has limited funds, it may be necessary for the officers and directors to either advance funds to the Company or to accrue expenses until such time as a successful business consolidation can be made. The Company will not require that the funds advanced by the officers and directors be repaid immediately by the target company. These funds will show as an accounts payable on the records of the Company to be repaid at such time as there are funds available to repay such advances. Management intends to hold expenses to a minimum and to obtain services on a contingency basis when possible. Further, the Company's directors will defer any compensation until such time as an acquisition or merger can be accomplished and will strive to have the business opportunity provide their remuneration. However, if the Company engages outside advisors or consultants in its search for business opportunities, it may be necessary for the Company to attempt to raise additional funds. As of the date hereof, the Company has not made any arrangements or definitive agreements to use outside advisors or consultants or to raise any capital. In the event the Company does need to raise capital most likely the only method available to the Company would be the private sale of its securities. Because of the nature of the Company as a development stage company, it is unlikely that it could make a public sale of securities or be able to borrow any significant sum from either a commercial or private lender. There can be no assurance that the Company will able to obtain additional funding when and if needed, or that such funding, if available, can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company. The Company does not intend to use any employees, with the possible exception of part-time clerical assistance on an as-needed basis. Outside advisors or consultants will be used only if they can be obtained for minimal cost or on a deferred payment basis. Management is convinced that it will be able to operate in this manner and to continue its search for business opportunities during the next twelve months. Description of Property The information required by this Item is not applicable to this Form SB-2 due to the fact that the Company does not own or control any material property. There are no preliminary agreements or understandings with respect to office facilities in the future. - 25 - CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS On October 10, 2001 Marvin N. Winick received 525,000,Bernard Spiegel received 17,500 shares and 503124 Ontario Ltd. received 175,000 shares of common stock each as the founding officers, directors and entities in exchange for a commitment to arrange to pay the costs of the continued operations and to seek out a merger or acquisition on behalf of the Company. In addition Mr. Winick has paid for the cost and expenses associated with the filing of this Form SB-2 and other operations of the Company. At the current time, the Company has no provision to issue any additional securities to management, promoters or their respective affiliates or associates. At such time as the Board of Directors adopts an employee stock option or pension plan, any issuance would be in accordance with the terms thereof and proper approval. Although the Company has a very large amount of authorized but unissued Common Stock and Preferred Stock which may be issued without further shareholder approval or notice, the Company intends to reserve such stock for the Rule 504, 505 and 506 offerings for acquisitions. From inception(October 9, 2001), there have not been any other transactions between the Company and any officer, director, nominee for election as director, or any shareholder owning greater than five percent (5%) of the Company's outstanding shares, nor any member of the above referenced individuals' immediate family except as described above. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS At this time the Company shares are not listed on any stock exchange And therefore there is no public trading market. (i) there are no outstanding options or warrants or convertible securities at this time; (ii) there are no shares offered pursuant to Rule 144; or (iii) there are no shares offered pursuant to an employee benefit plan or dividend reinvestment plan. (iv) there are no shares of common stock owned by security holders that being offered for sale in this registration statement. The shares being offered herein, are from treasury. (v) there does not exist at this time any agreement with individuals who are shareholders which are deemed to be promoters, affiliates and who may act as underwriters to register their stock. If and when the situation arises where such shareholders are to sell or transfer their securities, the Company will undertake to register such stock in conformity with the January 21, 2000 letter written by Ken Worm. At present there are 22 holders of shares of common stock totaling 1,050,000. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The Company has not had a bonus, profit sharing, or deferred compensation plan for the benefit of its employees, officers or directors. The Company has not paid any salaries or other compensation to its officers, directors or employees since incorporation. Further, the Company has not entered into an employment agreement with any of its officers, directors or any other persons and no such agreements are anticipated in the immediate future. It is intended that the Company's director will defer any compensation until such time as an acquisition or merger can be accomplished. - 26 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements are as follows: Amante CORPORATION (A Development Stage Company) Financial Statements For the six months ended April 30, 2003 and 2002 and for the year ended October 31, 2002 and for the period from October 9, 2001 (Inception) to October 31, 2001 and for the cumulative period October 9, 2001 (Inception) to April 30, 2003 Amante CORPORATION INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ---------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Page - ---------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- - ---------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT - F-1 - ---------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- - ---------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- BALANCE SHEETS.................................................

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. Amante CORPORATION (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Business Amante Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated on October 9, 2001 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company's primary business operations are to engage in internet and technology based businesses. The Company is searching for a viable entity with which to merge and/or acquire and intends to raise funds in order to fulfill its business objectives. The Company has not earned any revenue from operations. Accordingly, the Company's activities have been accounted for as those of a "Development Stage Enterprise" as set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 7 ("SFAS 7"). Among the disclosures required by SFAS 7 are that the Company's financial statements be identified as those of a development stage company, and that the statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows disclose activity since the date of the Company's inception. The year end of the Company is October 31. Basis of Accounting The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Loss Per Common Share Basic and diluted net loss per share information is presented under the requirements of SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by adding other common stock equivalents, including stock options, shares subject to repurchase, warrants and convertible preferred stock, in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for a period, if dilutive. All potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation, as their effect is anti-dilutive. Unaudited Interim Information The information presented for the six-month periods ended April 30, 2003 and 2002 and for the cumulative period October 9, 2001 (Inception) to April 30, 2003 has not been audited. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the information set forth therein. The results of operations for the six month ended April 30, 2003 and 2002 and for the cumulative period October 9, 2001 (Inception) to April 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the years ending October 31, 2003 and 2002. 2. ADVANCE FROM STOCKHOLDER An officer of the Company advanced $395 for incorporation costs and the advance is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and is due on demand. 3. STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT The authorized capital common stock is 50,000,000 shares of common stock at $.001 par value. In October 2001, the Company issued 1,050,000 shares of common stock to its officers and directors for consulting services rendered, which aggregated to $1,050. Amante CORPORATION.

ITEMS THAT ARE NOT A PART OF THIS PROSPECTUS PART II INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS Article XI of the Company's Articles of Incorporation contains provisions providing for the indemnification of directors and officers of the Company as follows: (a) The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is otherwise serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, has no reasonable cause to believe his conduct is unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding, by judgment, order, settlement, conviction upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith in a manner he 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 reasonable cause to believe the action was unlawful. (b) The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not, opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation, unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses which such court deems proper. - 50 - (c) To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections (a) and (b) of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorney's fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. (d) Any indemnification under Section (a) or (b) of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the officer, director and employee or agent is proper in the circumstances, because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section (a) or (b) of this Article. Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote and represented at a meeting called for purpose. (e) Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition or such action, suit or proceeding, as authorized in Section (d) of this Article, upon receipt of an understanding by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount, unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article. (f) The Board of Directors may exercise the corporation's power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at therequest of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under this Article. (g) The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under these Amended Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, agreements, vote of the shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office and shall continue as to person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representative of such a person.

The shares, if and when sold, will be resold to the public by the Company. The Company is a Nevada Corporation having obtained its corporate charter on or about October 9, 2001. In rendering the opinion expressed in this letter and without investigation, I have assumed that there are no misrepresentation, omission, or deceit with respect to the genuineness of all signatures, legal capacity of natural persons and the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as certified copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. I express no opinion as to the laws of the state or jurisdiction other than the State of Nevada, including the reported judicial decisions interpreting Nevada Law, and the federal laws of the United States of America. To the extent that any other laws govern the matters to which I am opining herein, I have assumed, with your permission and without independent investigation, that such laws are identical to Nevada Law, and I ame expressing no opinion herein as to whether such assumption is reasonable or correct. This opinion is limited to present laws and to the facts as they presently exist. I assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion should the present federal laws of the United States, or present Nevada Law, change by legislative action, judicial decision, or otherwise. No opinion is expressed herein with respect to (a) the qualification of the Shares under the securities or blue-sky laws of any state or any foreign jurisdiction and (b) the antifraud provisions of any state or federal securities laws. - 70 - The opinions set forth below are subject to the further qualification that enforceability may be: (1) limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent or preferential transfer or conveyance, reorganization or other laws of general applicability relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors' rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application; (2) limited by general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether applied by a court or law or equity); (3) subject to the effect of any public considerations or court decisions which may limit the rights of any person or entity to obtain indemnification; and (4) subject to the effects of generally applicable rules of law that (a) limit or effect the availability of specific performance or provisions that purport to require waiver of the obligations of good faith, fair dealing, diligence and reasonableness or (b) provide that forum selection clauses are not necessarily binding on the court or courts in the forum selected. Based upon and subject to the foregoing assumptions, limitations and qualifications, I am of the opinion that: (A) The Shares, when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms and conditions of a Subscription Agreement and against payment therefore as contemplated by the Subscription Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock. (B) The Company may be required to offer a right of recission to those parties subscribing to the Shares.

No transfer or other disposition of securities held in the Escrow Account or any interest or dividends related to such securities shall be permitted other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended, or Title 1 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and the rules thereunder. 3. Disbursement of the Escrow Account Upon the earlier of (i) receipt by the Escrow Agent of a signed representation from the respective Company to the Escrow Agent, that the requirements of Rule 419 have been met, and consummation of an acquisition meeting the requirements of Rule 419 or (ii) written notification from the Company to the Escrow Agent to deliver the Offering Proceeds to another Escrow Agent in accordance with Paragraph 4 then, in such event, the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Offering Proceeds (inclusive of any interest or dividends thereon) to the Company and the securities to the purchasers or registered holders identified on the deposited securities or deliver the Offering Proceeds and securities to such other escrow agent, as the case may be, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall be released from further liability hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the respective Company has not informed the Escrow Agent within 18 months after the date of the Prospectus in writing that an acquisition meeting the requirements of Rule 419 has occurred, funds held in the Escrow Account shall be returned by first class mail or equally prompt means pro rata to the purchasers and all securities held in the Escrow Account shall be returned to the respective Company within five business days following that date. - 73 - 4. Concerning the Escrow Agent The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any actions taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted by it, in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment, and may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provision, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained) which is believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement unless evidenced by in writing delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper Party or Parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the sufficiency or accuracy, the form of, or the execution validity, value or genuineness of any document or property received, held or delivered by it hereunder, or of any signature or endorsement thereon, or for any lack of endorsement thereon, or for any description therein, nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible or liable in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights of the person executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any document or property paid or delivered by the Escrow Agent under the provisions hereof. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss which may be incurred by reason of any investment of any monies or properties which it holds hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to assume, in the absence of written notice to the contrary from the proper person or persons, that a fact or an event by reason of which an action would or might be taken by the Escrow Agent does not exist or has not occurred, without incurring liability for any action taken or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment, in reliance upon such assumption. The Escrow Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless by each of the respective Companies from and against any expenses, including counsel fees and disbursements, or loss suffered by the Escrow Agent in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding involving any claim, or in connection with any claim or demand, which in any way directly or indirectly arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services of the Escrow Agent hereunder, the monies or other property held by it hereunder or any such expense or loss. Promptly after the receipt by the Escrow Agent of notice of any demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the Escrow Agent shall, if a claim in respect thereof shall be made against the other Parties, notify such Parties in writing; but the failure by the Escrow Agent to give such notice shall not relieve any Party form any liability which such Party may have to the Escrow Agent hereunder. Upon the receipt of such notice, the Escrow Agent, in its sole discretion, may commence an action in the nature of interpleader in an appropriate court to determine ownership or disposition of the Escrow Account or it may deposit the Escrow Account with the clerk of any appropriate court or it may retain the Escrow Account pending receipt of a final, non-appealable order of a court having jurisdiction over all of the Parties directing to whom and under what circumstances the Escrow Account is to be disbursed and delivered. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to reasonable compensation from the Company for all services rendered by it hereunder. From time to time on and after the date hereof, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent such further documents and instruments and shall do or cause to be done such further acts as the Escrow Agent shall reasonably request (it being understood that the Escrow Agent shall have no obligation to make such request) to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement, to evidence compliance herewith or to assure itself that it is protected in acting hereunder. The Escrow Agent may resign at any time and be discharged from its duties as Escrow Agent hereunder by its giving the Company at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice thereof. As soon as practicable after its resignation, the Escrow Agent shall turn over to a successor escrow agent appointed by the Company, all monies and property held hereunder upon presentation of the document appointing the new escrow agent and its acceptance thereof. If no new escrow agent is so appointed in the sixty (60) day period following the giving of such notice of resignation, the Escrow Agent may deposit the Escrow Account with any court it deems appropriate. The Escrow Agent shall resign and be discharged from its duties as Escrow Agent hereunder if so requested in writing at any time by the Company, provided, however, that such resignation shall become effective only upon acceptance of appointment by a successor escrow agent as provided above. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Escrow Agent shall not be relieved from liability thereunder for its own gross negligence or its own willful misconduct. - 74 - 5. Miscellaneous.
