The following minutes were taken from notes of a meeting held by the Economic Development Committee now officially separated from the Orangeburg Chapter of the Million Man March and whose d/b/a is Unity International. This meeting was held prior to incorporation on the date, at the place and convened at the time stated above. Present were:

The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m., by the Vice President Evangelist Dorothy P. Snider. Absent were: Rev. Calvin Alston, Carolyn O. Stroman, Dr. Clarence W. Joyner, Jr., William H. Wilson, and Dr. Jesse Kinard.

The first item of business was the corporate papers. George Sistrunk told the group that attorney Johnson had not filed the corporate papers as of this date. He also told the meeting that he had developed forms to track franchise acquisition activity and he had begun the work to update Phase II programs. He also informed the meeting that a little known section of law in binder number twenty-seven (27), section 113-22 and rule 501 of C.F.R. regulation D, had created unexpected problems.

He told the meeting, unless a way could be found to conform our franchise program to those laws, we might have to postpone the program until a later date. He told us he had already contacted the Secretary of State for clarification.

George informed the group that he had contacted the franchise development offices of Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips, International House of Pancakes, Central Park, USA and Carvel Ice Cream Stores, Inc. He told us he selected those because Unity could put them in smaller markets and still realize significant profits. Plus, they were all low budget and low start-up operations compared to some of the others.

He told us that he contacted Consumer Benefit Services, Inc., and they were going to send the revised rate schedules and contracting requirements. The next item of business was the membership program. George informed the group that the membership program had been revised and that it wouldn't be a problem to insert the updated schedules from Consumer Benefit Services, Inc., into them. He told us that the commission rate could stay basically the way it was.

The last item of business was telephone service, he told us that he could transfer YEP Enterprises' phones to 198 Russell Street, but decided against it. He told us he had already spoken with Dr. Joyner and Dr. Joyner was going to transfer the phones from Communique, Inc. to the new location. After George's reports and updates, Madame Vice President decided to adjourn the meeting because Dr. Kinard and Dr. Joyner were absent. George Sistrunk informed her that as Vice President of the corporation she had the legal authority to act in their absence. She decided against it and the meeting was adjourned until 6:30 p.m., February 15, 1996.

The following minutes were taken from notes of a meeting held by the Economic Development Committee now officially separated from the Orangeburg Chapter of the Million Man March and whose d/b/a is Unity International. This meeting was held prior to incorporation on the date, at the place and convened at the time stated above. Present were:

The meeting was called to order at 6:30 p.m., by Rev. Dr. Clarence W. Joyner, Jr. Absent were: Rev. Calvin Alston, William H. Wilson and Dr. Jesse Kinard. After the invocation, Dr. Joyner proceeded to the first item on the agenda which was the status of the corporate papers.

George Sistrunk informed the group that Attorney Johnson had not filed the papers as of the date of the meeting. He told the group that he and Ed Graham would get the papers form attorney Johnson and file them as soon as possible.

The second item on the agenda was establishing the checking account. It was agreed that this action be delayed until after incorporation.

The next items on the agenda that were discussed were: The consumer benefit services program, Central Park, IHOP (International House of Pancakes) and Arthur Treacher's.

George Sistrunk reported that he had not received the contract from CBS (Consumer Benefit Services), Inc., but he would call David Carlson to see whether or not they had been sent to the correct address. He continued with his report on Central Park, IHOP and Arthur Treacher's. He said he would develop an information package of all the relevant documents for inclusion with our investment prospectus and agreements.

He then recommended that the franchises be divided up among the board of directors so that board members could gain the experience of initiating projects and walking them through their developmental stages. It was agreed that this would be done.

The next item up for discussion was the employment application. George Sistrunk informed the group that hiring employees on a regular basis would be an unnecessary expense. He recommended that independent contractors be hired to performed whatever services the company needed. He told the group that he would write the agreement and design an information data sheet. He told us lengthy applications would not be required for contractors, since they would only work on a periodic basis. Dr. Joyner agreed and authorized George to begin the work on the independent contracts, the data sheet and the agreements.

Dr. Joyner then proceeded to discuss the land contract from Felder Evans. George Sistrunk informed the group that he and Ed Graham had scouted the location and that it would be an ideal location for a free standing Arthur Treacher's. He alluded to the possibility that two different franchises could be put on the property. The property was located across from Burg's on Highway 601 north. Felder Evans wanted two hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($250,000.00) for the two (2)acre tract.

George then gave each member a surveyor's drawing of the site. A sales contract was to follow shortly. It was agreed that any further action on the site be delayed until after incorporation.

After this discussion, Dr. Joyner proceeded to the next item of business which was finalizing the mission statement for the new corporation. After a lengthy discussion, it was agreed that the mission statement of the corporation shall read as follows:

The next item of business was establishing the purpose of the corporation when it is formed. The group agreed that the purpose of Unity International when it is incorporated shall be: To provide an investment vehicle that will allow any person or entity with discretionary investment capital to pool financial resources with others for the stated objective of becoming a presence in a any single or multiple financial enterprise or equity investment.

Since the bylaws was next on the agenda, Dr. Joyner simply asked George was the work on the bylaws complete. George told the group they would be ready for review by the next meeting. He then gave each member a copy of the business plan for Phase I development and implementation. He told the group, that the plan was essentially complete. All that remained to be included were the new rate schedules from CBS, Inc.

Dr. Joyner authorized George to complete the plan at the earliest possible date. George then informed the group that he had contacted Jim Zickel of the Firm, concerning information and training on stocks. He told the group that Jim had agreed to put an information package together along with his fees for the training seminar.

Dr. Joyner then proceeded to ask the group had they brought the skill sheet he had asked them to bring. No one did. He then postponed the discussion of stock allocation until after the skill sheets were completed. He then directed the members to have their portion of the rent available by March 1, 1996.

After the rent discussion, Dr. Joyner asked each member to write down the phone numbers at which they could be reached. He also wanted the numbers of the members that were absent. George Sistrunk informed Dr. Joyner that we had gotten those phone numbers at the January 23th meeting. He ran a copy for Dr. Joyner and the rest of the group.

The final item on the agenda was the discussion of the Seafare Franchise. A Seafare franchise was located on Rivers Avenue in Charleston, South Carolina. Dr. Joyner wanted to examine the possibility of putting a Seafare in Santee, rather than the Arthur Treacher's.

It was agreed the matter would be pursued at a later date. Being that there was no further business to discuss, Carl X. Wright gave the benedicition and the meeting was adjourned until February 20, 1996, at 7:00 p.m., 198 Russell Street.

The following minutes were taken from notes of a special meeting held by the Economic Development Committee now officially separated from the Orangeburg Chapter of the Million Man March and whose d/b/a is Unity International. This special meeting was held prior to incorporation on the date, at the place, and convened at the time stated above. Present were:

The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m., by Dr. Kinard. The invocation was given by Evangelist Dorothy P. Snider. Absent were: Rev. Calvin Alston and Rev. Dr. Clarence W. Joyner, Jr. After the invocation, Dr. Kinard proceeded to the reasons for the special meeting, which were to update him on the business transactions and other business being conducted by Evangelist Snider on behalf of Unity.

Evangelist Snider gave everyone in attendance an overview of the business transactions with Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips franchise. She briefly went over the shareholders agreement to bring William Wilson and Dr. Kinard up to where we were now. After the updates, she called George Sistrunk into the room to give an overview of other transactions that had taken place since the last meeting.

George Sistrunk informed the group that he and Evangelist Snider went to the land tracts in Elloree, SC for the Central Park location. They had met with Mr. William (Bill) Irick, the landowner, and they were shown specific sites to consideration. George also informed the group that Dr. Joyner had completed the transfer of the phone service to the new location and the number was 803-531-3023. He also told them Dr. Joyner would also have Unity's phone service activated as soon as incorporation was complete. For the time being we had to use Communique Inc.'s number to transact business by phone.

George then informed the group that he would have to delay getting Unity's federal identification number, because incorporation was going to be delayed until the following Monday. The papers that were completed by Attorney Johnson were not done properly. He told the group that he would retype the documents over the weekend and he and Edward C. Graham would take them to the Secretary of State on Monday.

He further stated that this delay would jeopardize the proposed meeting with IHOP's (International House of Pancakes) franchise representative concerning the Lizard's Thicket building owned by William (Bill) Taylor, or T.O.P.'s, Inc., and the delay placed the franchise on hold until another meeting could be arranged. George then went on to tell them that he had arranged a meeting with Fred Rohden, Arthur Treacher's Director of Franchise Development, and Evangelist Snider, Dr. Joyner and attorney Johnson. The meeting was scheduled for February 29, 1996 at Chestnut Bar and Grill for twelve (12) noon.

After George's update, Evangelist Snider distributed all the documents George had been completed including the bylaws to Dr. Kinard and William Wilson for their information and review. The following items were distributed:

Finally, George left the room and Evangelist Snider led the discussion concerning the monies for rent. It was agreed that all the members would pay $100.00 to the Chief Financial Officer by March 1,1996 to cover expenses. Being that there was no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned until February 20, 1996 at 7:00 p.m. at Unity's offices, located at 198 Russell Street.
