Symbol: NCSH), (hereinafter referred to as the “Seller”), Xtera Establishment Corporation, a Panamanian company, a resident of a non USA Jurisdiction (hereinafter referred to as the “Purchaser”), and Omega Financial Services LLC (a Delaware Limited Liability Corporation hereinafter referred to as the “Escrow Agent”) hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with the Seller as follows:

The Seller agrees to sell to the Purchaser in an offshore transaction negotiated outside the U.S. and to be consummated and closed outside the U.S. and, in consideration of and in express reliance upon the representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchaser agrees to purchase, subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, from the Seller up to Two Million ($2,000,000) dollars worth of common shares (the “Shares”) of the Company at a per share purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) equal to 32% of the previous day’s last trade price (the “Closing Price”), as traded on the OTCBB, adjusted as the Closing Price changes from time to time, and subject to the conditions set forth below.

 

  b. Closing; Payment. The transaction will be closed in an offshore transaction, and the Purchaser will pay the Purchase Price in US Dollars to the account of the Escrow Agent designated by the Purchaser for this purpose. Purchaser shall initiate the closing process for each purchase by sending or faxing a written purchase notice to Seller at the address set forth below (the “Purchase Notice”). The Purchase Notice shall set forth the number of Shares to be purchased and the total consideration to be paid in accordance with Purchase Price formula described in 1.a above (the “Closing”). The Company will deliver a stock certificate representing such Shares in the name of Purchaser (collectively “Certificate”) to the Escrow Agent.

 

  c. Form of Payment; Escrow. Purchaser shall cause the payment of the Purchase Price by delivering good and immediately available funds in United States Dollars to the escrow trust account of Wachovia Bank, N.A. at Spotswood, NJ, 08884 for credit to the account of Seller as set forth herein. Upon receipt by Escrow Agent of the Certificate representing such shares specified within the Purchase Notice the Escrow Agent will complete the closing process by wiring the Purchase Price to the designated bank account of the Seller and forwarding the Certificate to the Purchaser.
