effective registration statement filed under the 1933 Act or otherwise may
be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S without any restriction as to
the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be

registration under the 1933 Act of the issuance of the Securities to
the Buyer. The issuance of the Securities to the Buyer will not be
integrated with any other issuance of the Company's securities (past,
current or future) for purposes of any shareholder approval provisions
applicable to the Company or its securities.
Q. NO BROKERS. The Company has taken no action which would give
-----------
rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, transaction
fees or similar payments relating to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby.
R. PERMITS; COMPLIANCE. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries
-------------------
is in possession of all franchises, grants, authorizations, licenses,
permits, easements, variances, exemptions, consents, certificates,
approvals and orders necessary to own, lease and operate its
properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted
(collectively, the "COMPANY PERMITS"), and there is no action pending
or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened regarding suspension
or cancellation of any of the Company Permits. Neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries is in conflict with, or in default or
violation of, any of the Company Permits, except for any such
conflicts, defaults or violations which, individually or in the
aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Since December 31, 2004, neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any
notification with respect to possible conflicts, defaults or
violations of applicable laws, except for notices relating to possible
conflicts, defaults or violations, which conflicts, defaults or
violations would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
S. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.
(I) Except as set forth in SCHEDULE 3(S), there are, to the
Company's knowledge, with respect to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or any predecessor of the Company, no past or
present violations of Environmental Laws (as defined below),
releases of any material into the environment, actions,
activities, circumstances, conditions, events, incidents, or
contractual obligations which may give rise to any common law
environmental liability or any liability under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 or
similar federal, state, local or foreign laws and neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice with
respect to any of the foregoing, nor is any action pending or, to
the Company's knowledge, threatened in connection with any of the
foregoing. The term "ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS" means all federal,
state, local or foreign laws relating to pollution or protection
of human health or the environment (including, without
limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface
or subsurface strata), including, without limitation, laws
relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened
releases of chemicals, pollutants contaminants, or toxic or
hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, "HAZARDOUS
MATERIALS") into the environment, or otherwise relating to the
manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage,
disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well
as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters,
injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters,
orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered,
promulgated or approved thereunder.
(II) Other than those that are or were stored, used or
disposed of in compliance with applicable law, no Hazardous
Materials are contained on or about any real property currently
owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
and no Hazardous Materials were released on or about any real
property previously owned, leased or used by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries during the period the property was owned,
leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except
in the normal course of the Company's or any of its Subsidiaries'
business.
(III) Except as set forth in SCHEDULE 3(S), there are no
underground storage tanks on or under any real property owned,
leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that are
not in compliance with applicable law.
T. TITLE TO PROPERTY. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good
-----------------
and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and
marketable title to all personal property owned by them which is
material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each
case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such
as are described in SCHEDULE 3(T) or such as would not have a Material
Adverse Effect. Any real property and facilities held under lease by
the Company and its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid,
subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as would not
have a Material Adverse Effect.
U. INSURANCE. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are
---------
insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against
such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company
believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the
Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any
such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to
renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage
expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be
necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a
Material Adverse Effect. The Company has provided to Buyer true and
correct copies of all policies relating to directors' and officers'
liability coverage, errors and omissions coverage, and commercial
general liability coverage.
V. INTERNAL ACCOUNTING CONTROLS. The Company and each of its
------------------------------
Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls
sufficient, in the judgment of the Company's board of directors, to
provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in
accordance with management's general or specific authorizations, (ii)
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to
assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general or
specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets
is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and
appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.
W. FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES. Neither the Company, nor any of its
-------------------------
Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other
person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary has, in the
course of his actions for, or on behalf of, the Company, used any
corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or
other unlawful expenses relating to political activity; made any
direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic
government official or employee from corporate funds; violated or is
in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices
Act of 1977, as amended, or made any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence
payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic
government official or employee.
X. SOLVENCY. The Company (after giving effect to the transactions
--------
contemplated by this Agreement) is solvent (i.e., its assets have a
fair market value in excess of the amount required to pay its probable
liabilities on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured)
and currently the Company has no information that would lead it to
reasonably conclude that the Company would not, after giving effect to
the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, have the ability to,
nor does it intend to take any action that would impair its ability
to, pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection therewith
as such debts mature. The Company did not receive a qualified opinion
from its auditors with respect to its most recent fiscal year end and,
after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, does not anticipate or know of any basis upon which its
auditors might issue a qualified opinion in respect of its current
fiscal year.
Y. NO INVESTMENT COMPANY. The Company is not, and upon the
-----------------------
issuance and sale of the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement
will not be an "investment company" required to be registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (an "INVESTMENT COMPANY"). The
Company is not controlled by an Investment Company.
Z. BREACH OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY THE COMPANY. If
---------------------------------------------------------
the Company breaches any of the representations or warranties set
forth in this Section 3, and in addition to any other remedies
available to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall
pay to the Buyer the Standard Liquidated Damages Amount in cash or in
shares of Common Stock at the option of the Company, until such breach
is cured. If the Company elects to pay the Standard Liquidated Damages
Amounts in shares of Common Stock, such shares shall be issued at the
Conversion Price at the time of payment.
4. COVENANTS.
---------
A. BEST EFFORTS. The parties shall use their best efforts to
-------------
satisfy timely each of the conditions described in Section 6 and 7 of
this Agreement.
B. FORM D; BLUE SKY LAWS. The Company agrees to file a Form D
------------------------
with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to
provide a copy thereof to the Buyer promptly after such filing. The
Company shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the
Company shall reasonably determine is necessary to qualify the
Securities for sale to the Buyer at the applicable closing pursuant to
this Agreement under applicable securities or "blue sky" laws of the
states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such
qualification), and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken
to the Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date.
C. REPORTING STATUS; ELIGIBILITY TO USE FORM S-3, SB-2 OR FORM
-------------------------------------------------------------
S-1. The Company's Common Stock is registered under Section 12(g) of
---
the 1934 Act. The Company represents and warrants that it meets the
requirements for the use of Form S-3 (or if the Company is not
eligible for the use of Form S-3 as of the Filing Date (as defined in
the Registration Rights Agreement), the Company may use the form of
registration for which it is eligible at that time) for registration
of the sale by the Buyer of the Registrable Securities (as defined in
the Registration Rights Agreement). So long as the Buyer beneficially
owns any of the Securities, the Company shall timely file all reports
required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the 1934 Act, and the
Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file
reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and
regulations thereunder would permit such termination. The Company
further agrees to file all reports required to be filed by the Company
with the SEC in a timely manner so as to become eligible, and
thereafter to maintain its eligibility, for the use of Form S-3. The
Company shall issue a press release describing the materials terms of
the transaction contemplated hereby as soon as practicable following
the Closing Date but in no event more than two (2) business days of
the Closing Date, which press release shall be subject to prior review
by the Buyer. The Company agrees that such press release shall not
disclose the name of the Buyer unless expressly consented to in
writing by the Buyer or unless required by applicable law or
regulation, and then only to the extent of such requirement.
D. USE OF PROCEEDS. The Company shall use the proceeds from the
----------------
sale of the Notes and the Warrants in the manner set forth in SCHEDULE
4(D) attached hereto and made a part hereof and shall not, directly or
indirectly, use such proceeds for any loan to or investment in any
other corporation, partnership, enterprise or other person (except in
connection with its currently existing direct or indirect
Subsidiaries).
E. FUTURE OFFERINGS. Subject to the exceptions described below,
-----------------
the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Buyer,
not to be unreasonably withheld, negotiate or contract with any party
to obtain additional equity financing (including debt financing with
an equity component) that involves (A) the issuance of Common Stock at
a discount to the market price of the Common Stock on the date of
issuance (taking into account the value of any warrants or options to
acquire Common Stock issued in connection therewith) or (B) the
issuance of convertible securities that are convertible into an
indeterminate number of shares of Common Stock or (C) the issuance of
warrants during the period (the "LOCK-UP PERIOD") beginning on the
Closing Date and ending on the later of (i) two hundred seventy (270)
days from the Closing Date and (ii) one hundred eighty (180) days from
the date the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement) is declared effective (plus any days in which sales
cannot be made thereunder). In addition, subject to the exceptions
described below, the Company will not conduct any equity financing
(including debt with an equity component) ("FUTURE OFFERINGS") during
the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending two (2) years
after the end of the Lock-up Period unless it shall have first
delivered to the Buyer, at least twenty (20) business days prior to
the closing of such Future Offering, written notice describing the
proposed Future Offering, including the terms and conditions thereof
and proposed definitive documentation to be entered into in connection
therewith, and providing the Buyer an option during the fifteen (15)
day period following delivery of such notice to purchase its pro rata
share (based on the ratio that the aggregate principal amount of Notes
purchased by it hereunder bears to the aggregate principal amount of
Notes purchased hereunder) of the securities being offered in the
Future Offering on the same terms as contemplated by such Future
Offering (the limitations referred to in this sentence and the
preceding sentence are collectively referred to as the "CAPITAL
RAISING LIMITATIONS"). In the event the terms and conditions of a
proposed Future Offering are amended in any respect after delivery of
the notice to the Buyer concerning the proposed Future Offering, the
Company shall deliver a new notice to the Buyer describing the amended
terms and conditions of the proposed Future Offering and the Buyer
thereafter shall have an option during the fifteen (15) day period
following delivery of such new notice to purchase its pro rata share
of the securities being offered on the same terms as contemplated by
such proposed Future Offering, as amended. The foregoing sentence
shall apply to successive amendments to the terms and conditions of
any proposed Future Offering. The Capital Raising Limitations shall
not apply to any transaction involving (i) issuances of securities in
a firm commitment underwritten public offering (excluding a continuous
offering pursuant to Rule 415 under the 0000 Xxx) or (ii) issuances of
securities as consideration for a merger, consolidation or purchase of
assets, or in connection with any strategic partnership or joint
venture (the primary purpose of which is not to raise equity capital),
or in connection with the disposition or acquisition of a business,
product or license by the Company. The Capital Raising Limitations
also shall not apply to the issuance of securities upon exercise or
conversion of the Company's options, warrants or other convertible
securities outstanding as of the date hereof or to the grant of
additional options or warrants, or the issuance of additional
securities, under any Company stock option or restricted stock plan
approved by the shareholders of the Company.
F. FEES AND EXPENSES. At the Closing, the Company shall reimburse
-----------------
the Buyer, up to $10,000, for expenses incurred by it in connection
with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement and the other agreements to be executed in
connection herewith ("Documents"), including, without limitation,
attorneys' and consultants' fees and expenses, transfer agent fees,
fees for stock quotation services, fees relating to any amendments or
modifications of the Documents or any consents or waivers of
provisions in the Documents, fees for the preparation of opinions of
counsel, escrow fees, and costs of restructuring the transactions
contemplated by the Documents. When possible, the Company must pay
these fees directly, otherwise the Company must make immediate payment
for reimbursement to the Buyer for all fees and expenses immediately
upon written notice by the Buyer or the submission of an invoice by
the Buyer If the Company fails to reimburse the Buyer in full within
three (3) business days of the written notice or submission of invoice
by the Buyer, the Company shall pay interest on the total amount of
fees to be reimbursed at a rate of 15% per annum. In addition, upon
the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall issue to the Buyer
40 million shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Investor's
Shares"). ----------
------
G. FINANCIAL INFORMATION. The Company agrees to send the
----------------------
following reports to the Buyer until the Buyer transfers, assigns, or
sells all of the Securities: within ten (10) days after the filing
with the SEC, a copy of its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB its Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-QSB and any Current Reports on Form 8-K; within one
(1) day after release, copies of all press releases issued by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and contemporaneously with the
making available or giving to the shareholders of the Company, copies
of any notices or other information the Company makes available or
gives to such shareholders.
H. AUTHORIZATION AND RESERVATION OF SHARES. Subject to
-------------------------------------------
Stockholder Approval, the Company shall at all times have authorized,
and reserved for the purpose of issuance, a sufficient number of
shares of Common Stock to provide for the full conversion or exercise
of the outstanding Notes and Warrants and issuance of the Conversion
Shares and Warrant Shares in connection therewith (based on the
Conversion Price of the Notes or Exercise Price of the Warrants in
effect from time to time) and as otherwise required by the Notes. The
Company shall not reduce the number of shares of Common Stock reserved
for issuance upon conversion of Notes and exercise of the Warrants
without the consent of the Buyer. The Company shall at all times
maintain the number of shares of Common Stock so reserved for issuance
at an amount ("RESERVED AMOUNT") equal to no less than two (2) times
the number that is then actually issuable upon full conversion of the
Notes and Additional Notes and one (1) time the number that is issable
upon exercise of the Warrants and the Additional Warrants (based on
the Conversion Price of the Notes or the Exercise Price of the
Warrants in effect from time to time). If at any time the number of
shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance
("AUTHORIZED AND RESERVED SHARES") is below the Reserved Amount, the
Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize
and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without
limitation, calling a special meeting of shareholders to authorize
additional shares to meet the Company's obligations under this Section
4(h), in the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares,
obtain shareholder approval of an increase in such authorized number
of shares, and voting the management shares of the Company in favor of
an increase in the authorized shares of the Company to ensure that the
number of authorized shares is sufficient to meet the Reserved Amount.
If the Company fails to obtain such shareholder approval within thirty
(30) days following the date on which the number of Reserved Amount
exceeds the Authorized and Reserved Shares, the Company shall pay to
the Buyer the Standard Liquidated Damages Amount, in cash or in shares
of Common Stock at the option of the Buyer. If the Buyer elects to be
paid the Standard Liquidated Damages Amount in shares of Common Stock,
such shares shall be issued at the Conversion Price at the time of
payment. In order to ensure that the Company has authorized a
sufficient amount of shares to meet the Reserved Amount at all times,
the Company must deliver to the Buyer at the end of every month a list
detailing (1) the current amount of shares authorized by the Company
and reserved for the Buyer; and (2) amount of shares issuable upon
conversion of the Notes and upon exercise of the Warrants and as
payment of interest accrued on the Notes for one year. If the Company
fails to provide such list within five (5) business days of the end of
each month, the Company shall pay the Standard Liquidated Damages
Amount, in cash or in shares of Common Stock at the option of the
Buyer, until the list is delivered. If the Buyer elects to be paid the
Standard Liquidated Damages Amount in shares of Common Stock, such
shares shall be issued at the Conversion Price at the time of payment.
I. LISTING. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the
-------
Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares upon each national securities
exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of
Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance)
and, so long as the Buyer owns any of the Securities, shall maintain,
so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such
listing of all Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares from time to time
issuable upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants. The
Company will obtain and, so long as the Buyer owns any of the
Securities, maintain the listing and trading of its Common Stock on
the OTCBB or any equivalent replacement exchange, the Nasdaq National
Market ("NASDAQ"), the Nasdaq SmallCap Market ("NASDAQ SMALLCAP"), the
New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), or the American Stock Exchange
("AMEX") and will comply in all respects with the Company's reporting,
filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the National
Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") and such exchanges, as
applicable. The Company shall promptly provide to the Buyer copies of
any notices it receives from the OTCBB and any other exchanges or
quotation systems on which the Common Stock is then listed regarding
the continued eligibility of the Common Stock for listing on such
exchanges and quotation systems.
J. CORPORATE EXISTENCE. So long as the Buyer beneficially owns
--------------------
any Notes or Warrants, the Company shall maintain its corporate
existence and shall not sell all or substantially all of the Company's
assets, except in the event of a merger or consolidation or sale of
all or substantially all of the Company's assets, where the surviving
or successor entity in such transaction (i) assumes the Company's
obligations hereunder and under the agreements and instruments entered
into in connection herewith and (ii) is a publicly traded corporation
whose Common Stock is listed for trading on the OTCBB, Nasdaq, Nasdaq
SmallCap, NYSE or AMEX.
K. NO INTEGRATION. The Company shall not make any offers or sales
--------------
of any security (other than the Securities) under circumstances that
would require registration of the Securities being offered or sold
hereunder under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of the Securities
to be integrated with any other offering of securities by the Company
for the purpose of any stockholder approval provision applicable to
the Company or its securities.
L. RESTRICTION ON SHORT SALES. The Buyer agrees that, so long as
--------------------------
any of the Notes remain outstanding, but in no event less than two (2)
years from the date hereof, the Buyer will not enter into or effect
any "short sales" (as such term is defined in Rule 3b-3 of the 0000
Xxx) of the Common Stock or hedging transaction which establishes a
net short position with respect to the Common Stock.
M. BREACH OF COVENANTS. If the Company breaches any of the
---------------------
covenants set forth in this Section 4, and in addition to any other
remedies available to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, the
Company shall pay to the Buyer the Standard Liquidated Damages Amount,
in cash or in shares of Common Stock at the option of the Company,
until such breach is cured. If the Company elects to pay the Standard
Liquidated Damages Amount in shares, such shares shall be issued at
the Conversion Price at the time of payment.
N. SUBSEQUENT INVESTMENT. The Company and the Buyer agree that,
----------------------
upon the filing by the Company of the Registration Statement to be
filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (the "FILING
DATE"), the Buyer shall purchase additional Notes (the "FILING NOTES")
in the aggregate principal amount of Fifty-Five Thousand Dollars
($55,000) and additional warrants (the "FILING WARRANTS") to purchase
an aggregate of 96,250,000 shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate
purchase price of Fifty-Five Thousand Dollars ($55,000), with the
closing of such purchase to occur within five (5) days of the Filing
Date; provided, however, that the obligation of the Buyer to purchase
-------- -------
the Filing Notes and the Filing Warrants is subject to the
satisfaction, at or before the closing of such purchase and sale, of
the conditions set forth in Section 7. The Company and the Buyer
further agree that, upon the declaration of effectiveness of the
Registration Statement to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement (the "EFFECTIVE DATE"), the Buyer shall purchase additional
notes (the "EFFECTIVENESS NOTES" and, collectively with the Filing
Notes, the "ADDITIONAL NOTES") in the aggregate principal amount of
Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) and additional warrants (the
"EFFECTIVENESS WARRANTS" and, collectively with the Filing Warrants,
the "ADDITIONAL WARRANTS") to purchase an aggregate of 350,000,000
shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of Two Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($200,000), with the closing of such purchase to
occur within five (5) days of the Effective Date; provided, however,
-------- -------
that the obligation of the Buyer to purchase the Additional Notes and
the Additional Warrants is subject to the satisfaction, at or before
the closing of such purchase and sale, of the conditions set forth in
Section 7; and, provided, further, that there shall not have been a
-------- -------
Material Adverse Effect as of such effective date. The terms of the
Additional Notes and the Additional Warrants shall be identical to the
terms of the Notes and Warrants, as the case may be, to be issued on
the Closing Date. The Common Stock underlying the Additional Notes and
the Additional Warrants shall be Registrable Securities (as defined in
the Registration Rights Agreement) and shall be included in the
Registration Statement to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement.
O. STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL. The Company shall use its best efforts
---------------------
to obtain, on or before July 1, 2006, such approvals of the Company's
stockholders as may be required to issue all of the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of, or otherwise with
respect to, the Notes and the Warrants in accordance with Delaware law
and any applicable rules or regulations of the OTCBB and Nasdaq,
either through a reverse stock split of the Common Stock or an
increase in authorized capital (the "Stockholder Approval"). The
Company shall furnish to each Buyer and its legal counsel promptly
(but in no event less than two (2) business days) before the same is
filed with the SEC, one copy of any amendment thereto, and shall
deliver to each Buyer promptly each letter written by or on behalf of
the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of
correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case
relating to such proxy or information statement (other than any
portion thereof which contains information for which the Company has
sought confidential treatment). The Company will promptly (but in no
event more than three (3) business days) respond to any and all
comments received from the SEC (which comments shall promptly be made
available to each Buyer). The Company shall comply with the filing and
disclosure requirements of Section 14 under the 1934 Act in connection
with the Stockholder Approval. The Company represents and warrants
that its Board of Directors has approved the proposal contemplated by
this Section 4(o) and shall indicate such approval in the proxy or
information statement used in connection with the Stockholder
Approval.
5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS. The Company shall issue irrevocable
-----------------------------
instructions to its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the
name of the Buyer or its nominee, for the Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Buyer to the
Company upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants in
accordance with the terms thereof (the "IRREVOCABLE TRANSFER AGENT
INSTRUCTIONS"). Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares and
Warrant Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as
to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be
immediately sold, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend
specified in Section 2(g) of this Agreement. The Company warrants that no
instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred
to in this Section 5, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to
Section 2(f) hereof (in the case of the Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares, prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares
under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the
number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately
sold), will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the
Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records
of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any
way the Buyer's obligations and agreement set forth in Section 2(g) hereof
to comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any,
upon re-sale of the Securities. If the Buyer provides the Company with (i)
an opinion of counsel in form, substance and scope customary for opinions
in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of
such Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act and
such sale or transfer is effected or (ii) the Buyer provides reasonable
assurances that the Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144, the
Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion
Shares and Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue
one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in
such denominations as specified by the Buyer. The Company acknowledges that
a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to
the Buyer, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions
contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy
at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5 may be
inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the
Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Buyer shall be
entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction
restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the
necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security
being required.
6. CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATION TO SELL. The obligation of
-----------------------------------------------
the Company hereunder to issue and sell the Notes and Warrants to the Buyer
at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing
Date of each of the following conditions thereto, provided that these
conditions are for the Company's sole benefit and may be waived by the
Company at any time in its sole discretion:

respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by
this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the
Buyer at or prior to the Closing Date.
D. No litigation, statute, rule, regulation, executive order,
decree, ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered,
promulgated or endorsed by or in any court or governmental authority
of competent jurisdiction or any self-regulatory organization having
authority over the matters contemplated hereby which prohibits the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
7. CONDITIONS TO BUYER'S OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE. The obligation of the
--------------------------------------------
Buyer hereunder to purchase the Notes and Warrants at the Closing is
subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date of each of the
following conditions, provided that these conditions are for Buyer's sole
benefit and may be waived by Buyer at any time in its sole discretion:
A. The Company shall have executed this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement, and delivered the same to the Buyer.
B. The Company shall have delivered to such Buyer duly executed
Notes (in such denominations as the Buyer shall request) and Warrants

as of the Closing Date as though made at such time (except for
representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date) and
the Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all
material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions
required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with
by the Company at or prior to the Closing Date. The Buyer shall have

executive officer of the Company, dated as of the Closing Date, to the
foregoing effect and as to such other matters as may be reasonably

respect to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws and
Board of Directors' resolutions relating to the transactions
