COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as of April 25,
2001 by and between USURF AMERICA, INC., a Nevada corporation (the
"Company"), and FUSION CAPITAL FUND II, LLC (together with its permitted
assigns, the "Buyer"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined herein are defined in Section 10 hereof.
WHEREAS:
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the
Company wishes to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer wishes to buy from the
Company, up to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) of the Company's common
stock, par value $.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"). The shares of
Common Stock to be purchased hereunder are referred to herein as the
"Purchase Shares."
NOW THEREFORE, the Company and the Buyer hereby agree as follows:
1. PURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 6, 7 and 9
below, the Company hereby agrees to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby
agrees to purchase from the Company, shares of Common Stock as follows:
(a) Commencement of Purchases of Common Stock. The purchase and sale of
Common Stock hereunder shall commence (the "Commencement") within five (5)
Trading Days following the date of satisfaction (or waiver) of the
conditions to the Commencement set forth in Sections 6 and 7 below (the
date of such Commencement, the "Commencement Date").
(b) Buyer's Purchase Rights and Obligations. Subject to the Company's
right to suspend purchases under Section 1(d)(ii) hereof, , the Buyer shall
purchase shares of Common Stock on each Trading Day during each Monthly
Period equal to the Daily Base Amount at the Purchase Price in accordance
with Section 1(e). Within three (3) Trading Days of receipt of Purchase
Shares, the Buyer shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the Purchase
Amount with respect to such Purchase Shares as full payment for the
Purchase Shares so received. The Company shall not issue any fraction of
a share of Common Stock upon any purchase. All shares of Common Stock
(including fractions thereof) issuable upon a purchase under this Agreement
shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the purchase would
result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock. If, after
the aforementioned aggregation, the issuance would result in the issuance
of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such
fraction of a share of Common Stock up or down to the nearest whole share.
All payments made under this Agreement shall be made in lawful money of the
United States of America by check or wire transfer of immediately available
funds to such account as the Company may from time to time designate by
written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Agreement is
due on any day which is not a Trading Day, the same shall instead be due on
the next succeeding day which is a Trading Day.
(c) Company's Rights to Decrease or Increase the Daily Base Amount.
(i) Company's Right to Decrease the Daily Base Amount. The Company shall
always have the right at any time to decrease the amount of the Daily Base
Amount by delivering written notice (a "Daily Base Amount Decrease Notice")
to the Buyer which notice shall specify the amount of the new Daily Base
Amount. The decrease in the Daily Base Amount shall become effective one
Trading Day after receipt by the Buyer of the Daily Base Amount Decrease.
Any Purchase Notices submitted by the Buyer which have a Purchase Date on
or prior to the first (1st) Trading Day after receipt by the Buyer of a
Daily Base Amount Decrease Notice must be honored by the Company as
otherwise provided herein. The decrease in the Daily Base Amount shall
remain in effect until the Company delivers to the Buyer a Daily Base
Amount Increase Notice (as defined below).
(ii) Company's Right to Increase Daily Base Amount. The Company shall
always have the right at any time to increase amount of the Daily Base
Amount up to the Original Daily Base Amount by delivering written notice to
the Buyer stating the new amount of the Daily Base Amount (a "Daily Base
Amount Increase Notice"). If the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on
each of the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to a Daily
Base Amount Increase Notice is at least $5.00, the Company shall have the
right to deliver a Daily Base Amount Increase Notice which increases the
amount of the Daily Base Amount to any amount above the Original Daily Base
Amount. A Daily Base Amount Increase Notice shall be effective one Trading
Day after receipt by the Buyer. Such increase in the amount of the Daily
Base Amount shall continue in effect until the delivery to the Buyer of a
Daily Base Amount Decrease Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, if the Daily Base Amount then in effect is greater than the
Original Daily Base Amount and the Sale Price of the Common Stock during
any Trading Day is less than $5.00, the amount of the Daily Base Amount for
such Trading Day on which the Sale Price of the Common Stock is less than
$5.00 and for each Trading Day thereafter shall be the Original Daily Base
Amount or such lesser amount as specified by the Company in a Daily Base
Amount Decrease Notice. Thereafter, the Company shall again have the right
to increase the amount of the Daily Base Amount to any amount above the
Original Daily Base Amount only if the Closing Sale Price of the Common
Stock is at least $5.00 on each of five (5) consecutive Trading Days
(d) Limitations on Purchases.
(i) Exchange Cap Limitation. The Company shall not effect any purchase
under this Agreement and the Buyer shall not have the right to purchase
shares of Common Stock under this Agreement to the extent that after giving
effect to such purchase the "Exchange Cap" shall be deemed to be reached.
The "Exchange Cap" shall be deemed to be reached at such time if, upon
submission of a Purchase Notice under this Agreement, the issuance of such
shares of Common Stock would exceed that number of shares of Common Stock
which the Company may issue under this Agreement without breaching the
Company's obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market.
(ii) Limitation on Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect any
sale under this Agreement and the Buyer shall not have the right to
purchase shares of Common Stock under this Agreement to the extent that
after giving effect to such purchase the Buyer together with its affiliates
would beneficially own in excess of 9.9% of the outstanding shares of the
Common Stock following such purchase. For purposes hereof, the number of
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Buyer and its affiliates
or acquired by the Buyer and its affiliates, as the case may be, shall
include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with a
Purchase Notice under this Agreement with respect to which the
determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of
Common Stock which would be issuable upon (1) a purchase of the remaining
Available Amount which has not been submitted for purchase, and (2)
exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any
other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any
warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to
the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Buyer and its
affiliates. If the 9.99% limitation is ever reached, this shall not effect
or limit the Buyer's obligation to purchase the Daily Base Amount as
otherwise provided in this Agreement. For purposes of this Section, in
determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Buyer may
rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in
(1) the Company's most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be,
(2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other
written communication by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the reasonable
written or oral request of the Buyer, the Company shall promptly confirm
orally and in writing to the Buyer the number of shares of Common Stock
then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock shall be determined after giving effect to any purchases under this
Agreement by the Buyer since the date as of which such number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. Except as otherwise set
forth herein, for purposes of this Section 1(d)(ii), beneficial ownership
shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(iii) Company's Right to Suspend Purchases. The Company may at any time
give written notice (a "Purchase Suspension Notice") to the Buyer
suspending purchases by the Buyer under this Agreement. The Purchase
Suspension Notice shall be effective only for Purchase Notices which have a
Purchase Date later than three (3) Trading Days after receipt of the
Purchase Suspension Notice by the Buyer. Any Purchase Notices submitted by
the Buyer which have a Purchase Date on or prior to the third (3rd) Trading
Day after receipt by the Buyer of the Company's Purchase Suspension Notice
must be honored by the Company as otherwise provided herein. Such purchase
suspension shall continue in effect until the revocation in writing by the
Company, at its sole discretion So long as a Purchase Suspension Notice is
in effect, the Buyer shall not be obligated to purchase any Purchase Shares
from the Company under Section 1 of this Agreement.
(e) Mechanics of Purchasing. The purchase of shares of Common Stock under
this Agreement shall be conducted in the following manner:
(i) Buyer's Delivery Requirements. On each Trading Day that the Buyer is
to purchase shares of Common Stock under this Agreement, the Buyer shall
transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver) on or prior to 11:59 p.m.,
Central Time on the date of purchase, a copy of a fully executed notice of
purchase substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
"Purchase Notice") to the Company.
(ii) Company's Response. Upon receipt by the Company of a copy of a
Purchase Notice, the Company shall as soon as practicable, but in no event
later than one (1) Trading Day after receipt of such Purchase Notice, send
via facsimile (or otherwise deliver), a confirmation of receipt of such
Purchase Notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a "Company
Confirmation of Purchase Notice") to (1) the Buyer and (2) along with a
copy of the Purchase Notice, the Company's designated transfer agent (the
"Transfer Agent"), which confirmation shall constitute an irrevocable
instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Purchase Notice in
accordance with the terms herein. Upon receipt by the Transfer Agent of a
copy of the executed Purchase Notice and a copy of the applicable Company
Confirmation of Purchase Notice, the Transfer Agent shall, on the first
(1st) Trading Day following the date of receipt of the Company Confirmation
of Purchase Notice, (A) provided the Transfer Agent is participating in The
Depository Trust Company's ("The DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer
Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which
the Buyer shall be entitled to the Buyer's or its designee's balance
account with The DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian ("DWAC")
system, or (B) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in The DTC Fast
Automated Securities Transfer Program and DWAC system, issue and surrender
to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address as specified in
the Purchase Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Buyer,
for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Buyer shall be entitled.
(iii) Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination
of the Purchase Price, the Company shall instruct the Transfer Agent to
issue to the Buyer the number of shares of Common Stock that is not
disputed and shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic
calculations to the Buyer via facsimile within one (1) Trading Day of
receipt of the Buyer's Purchase Notice. If the Buyer and the Company are
unable to agree upon the determination of the Purchase Price within one (1)
Trading Day of such disputed determination being submitted to the Buyer,
then the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day submit via facsimile the
disputed determination of the Purchase Price to an independent, reputable
investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Buyer. The
Company shall cause the investment bank to perform the determinations or
calculations and notify the Company and the Buyer of the results no later
than the fifth (5th) day after the date it receives the disputed
determinations. Such investment bank's shall be binding upon all parties
absent manifest error.
(iv) Record Holder. The person or persons entitled to receive the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon a purchase under this Agreement shall be
treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of
Common Stock on the Purchase Date.
(v) Company's Failure to Timely Deliver Shares. If within five (5) Trading
Days after the Company's receipt of a copy of the Purchase Notice properly
submitted in accordance with the term and conditions of this Section 1(e)
(subject to extension in accordance with Section 1(e)(iii) for a good faith
dispute made in accordance with the terms of Section 1(e)(iii)) (the "Share
Delivery Period"), the Transfer Agent fails to issue Purchase Shares via
credit to the Buyer's account with DTC for the number of Purchase Shares
specified in a Purchase Notice submitted by the Buyer (a "Purchase
Failure"), in addition to all other available remedies which the Buyer may
pursue under applicable laws and this Agreement (including indemnification
obligations of the Company set forth in Section 8 hereof), the Company
shall pay in cash, on demand, additional damages to the Buyer for each day
after such fifth (5th) Trading Day that the issuance of such Purchase
Shares is not timely effected, in an amount equal to 1.5% of the product of
(I) the number of Purchase Shares not issued to the Buyer on a timely basis
pursuant to Section 1(e)(ii) and to which the Buyer is entitled and (II)
the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Purchase Date.
(vi) Book Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
herein, upon purchase of any portion of the Available Amount in accordance
with the terms hereof, the Buyer shall not be required to physically
surrender this Agreement to the Company. The Buyer and the Company shall
each maintain records showing the remaining Available Amount and the dates
and Purchase Amounts for each purchase or shall use such other method,
reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer and the Company, so as not to require
physical surrender of this Agreement upon each purchase. The Buyer and any
assignee, by acceptance of this Agreement, acknowledge and agree that, by
reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following purchase of any
portion of the Available Amount, the remaining Available Amount under this
Agreement shall be less than the aggregate Available Amount set forth on
the face hereof.
(f) Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all taxes that may be payable
with respect to the issuance and delivery of any shares of Common Stock to
the Buyer made under of this Agreement.
2. BUYER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
The Buyer represents and warrants to the Company that:
(a) Investment Purpose. The Buyer is entering into this Agreement and
acquiring the Commitment Shares and the Warrants (each as defined in
Section 4(f) hereof) (this Agreement, the Commitment Shares and the
Warrants are collectively referred to herein as the "Securities"), for its
own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale
in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof; provided
however, by making the representations herein, the Buyer does not agree to
hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term.

that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D.

being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the
registration requirements of United States federal and state securities
laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy

agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Buyer set forth
herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the
eligibility of the Buyer to acquire the Securities.
(d) Information. The Buyer has been furnished with all materials relating
to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials
relating to the offer and sale of the Securities that have been reasonably
requested by the Buyer, including, without limitation, the SEC Documents

right to rely on the Company's representations and warranties contained in
Section 3 below. The Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax
advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment
decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities. The Buyer
acknowledges that the Company currently lacks capital with which to
exploit, on a full-scale basis, its wireless Internet access and other
wireless products and that the Company expects that it may remain in
substantially the same position unless the Company is able to obtain
additional funding.
(e) No Governmental Review. The Buyer understands that no United States

passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or
the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have
such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Securities.
(f) Transfer or Resale. The Buyer understands that except as provided in
the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in Section 6(a) hereof): (i)
the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the 1933
Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold,
assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder or
(B) an exemption exists permitting such Securities to be sold, assigned or
transferred without such registration; (ii) any sale of the Securities made
in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of

Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through
whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is
defined in the 0000 Xxx) may require compliance with some other exemption
under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and
(iii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to
register such securities under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or
to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Buyer and is a valid
and binding agreement of the Buyer enforceable against the Buyer in

or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors' rights and
remedies.

Company that at no time prior to the date of this Agreement has any of the
Buyer, its agents, associates, representatives or affiliates engaged in or
effected, in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, any (i) "short
sale" (as such term is defined in Rule 3b 3 of the 0000 Xxx) of the Common

and its Subsidiaries is not being conducted, and shall not be conducted, in
violation of any law, ordinance, regulation of any governmental entity,

consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration

financial statements and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by
reference therein being hereinafter referred to as the "SEC Documents").
As of their respective dates (except as they have been correctly amended),
the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements
of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated

at the time they were filed with the SEC (except as they may have been
correctly amended), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or

in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. As of their respective dates
(except as they have been correctly amended), the financial statements of
the Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all
material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published
rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved

the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary

investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency,
self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the
Company, the Common Stock or any of the Company's Subsidiaries or any of
the Company's or the Company's Subsidiaries' officers or directors in their
capacities as such, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. A description of each action, suit, proceeding, inquiry
or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency,
self-regulatory organization or body which, as of the date of this
Agreement, is pending or threatened in writing against or affecting the
Company, the Common Stock or any of the Company's Subsidiaries or any of
the Company's or the Company's Subsidiaries' officers or directors in their
capacities as such, is set forth in Schedule 3(h).
(i) Acknowledgment Regarding Buyer's Status. The Company acknowledges and
agrees that the Buyer is acting solely in the capacity of arm's length

number of Purchase Shares purchasable under this Agreement will increase in

under lease by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries are held by them
under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are

been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for and 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

adversely affect the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings,
business or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Subsidiaries has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for
the payment of all unpaid and unreported taxes) and has paid all taxes and
other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount,
shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations,

provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods
subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations
apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due
by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the

issuable under the terms of the Transaction Documents. The Company shall

timely issue any Purchase Shares required to be issued pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement.
(f) Previous Issuance of Securities/Limitation on Sales of Commitment
Shares. The Company has previously issued to the Buyer (i) 800,000 shares

issue Purchase Shares under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing,
the Buyer may transfer Commitment Shares or Warrant Shares to a third party
in order to settle a sale made by the Buyer where the Buyer reasonably
expects the Company to deliver Purchase Shares to the Buyer under this
Agreement so long as the Buyer maintains ownership of the same overall
number of shares of Common Stock by "replacing" the Commitment Shares or
Warrant Shares so transferred with Purchase Shares when the Purchase Shares
are actually issued by the Company to the Buyer.
(g) Due Diligence. The Buyer shall have the right, from time to time as
the Buyer may reasonably deem appropriate, to perform reasonable due
diligence on the Company during normal business hours. The Company and its
officers and employees shall reasonably cooperate with the Buyer in
connection with any reasonable request by the Buyer related to the Buyer's
due diligence of the Company.
(h) Reservation of Shares. The Company shall, so long as any Available
Amount is outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized and
unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the purchase of
the Available Amount, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from
time to time be sufficient to effect the purchase of the entire remaining
Available Amount, without regard to any restrictions or limitations on
purchases. The Company shall reserve and keep available out of its

Buyer or its respective nominee(s), for the Purchase Shares (the

(i) Publicity. The Buyer shall have the right to approve before issuance
any press releases or any other public disclosure (including any filings

provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled, without the prior

commences a proceeding against the Company, a Custodian is appointed for
the Company or for all or substantially all of its property, or the Company
makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (any of which
would be an Event of Default as described in Sections 9(h), 9(i) and 9(j)
hereof) this Agreement shall automatically terminate without any liability
or payment to the Company without further action or notice by any Person.
No such termination of this Agreement under this Section 11(k)(i) shall
affect the Company's or the Buyer's obligations under this Agreement with
respect to pending purchases and the Company and the Buyer shall complete
their respective obligations with respect to any pending purchases under
this Agreement.
(ii) In the event that the Commencement shall not have occurred, the
Company shall have the option to terminate this Agreement for any reason or
for no reason without liability of any party to any other party.
(iii) In the event that the Commencement shall not have occurred on or

in Sections 6 and 7 above with respect to the Commencement (and the
nonbreaching party's failure to waive such unsatisfied condition(s)), the
nonbreaching party shall have the option to terminate this Agreement at the
close of business on such date without liability of any party to any other
party.
(iv) If by the Maturity Date, for any reason or for no reason the full
Available Amount under this Agreement has not been purchased as provided
for in Section 1 of this Agreement, by the Buyer without any liability or
payment to the Company.
(v) At any time after the Commencement Date, the Company shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement for any reason or for no reason by
delivering written notice (a "Company Termination Notice") to the Buyer
electing to terminate this Agreement (a "Company Termination"). The

Days after it has been received by the Buyer. Any Purchase Notices
submitted by the Buyer which have a Purchase Date on or prior to the third

Notice, must be honored by the Company as otherwise provided herein.
(vi) This Agreement shall automatically terminate on the date that the
Company sells and the Buyer purchases Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) of
Common Stock as provided herein, without any action or notice on the part
of any party.
Except as set forth in Sections 11(k)(i) and 11(k)(vi), any termination of
this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11(k) shall be effected by written
notice from the Company to the Buyer, or the Buyer to the Company, as the
case may be, setting forth the basis for the termination hereof. The
representations and warranties of the Company and the Buyer contained in
Sections 2 and 3 hereof, the indemnification provisions set forth in
Section 8 hereof and the agreements and covenants set forth in Section 11,
shall survive the Commencement and any termination of this Agreement. No
termination of this Agreement shall effect the Company's or the Buyer's
obligations under this Agreement with respect to pending purchases and the
Company and the Buyer shall complete their respective obligations with
respect to any pending purchases under this Agreement.
(l) Financial Advisor, Placement Agent, Broker or Finder. The Company
acknowledges to the Buyer that it has engaged Gruntal & Co., L.L.C. as its
financial advisor in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
The Company represents and warrants to the Buyer that it has not retained
any other financial advisor, placement agent, broker or finder in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The Buyer represents
and warrants to the Company that it has not engaged any financial advisor,
placement agent, broker or finder in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of
any fees or commissions, if any, of any financial advisor, placement agent,
broker or finder relating to or arising out of the transactions
contemplated hereby. The Company shall pay, and hold the Buyer harmless
against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and out of pocket expenses) arising in connection with any
such claim.
(m) No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be
deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual
intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
(n) Remedies, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The
Buyer's remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in
addition to all other remedies available to the Buyer under this Agreement,
at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or
other injunctive relief), no remedy of the Buyer contained herein shall be
deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such
remedy and nothing herein shall limit the Buyer's right to pursue actual
damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this
Agreement. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations
hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer and that the remedy at
law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees
that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Buyer shall
be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction
restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and
without any bond or other security being required.
(o) Changes to the Terms of this Agreement. This Agreement and any
provision hereof may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by
the Company and the Buyer. The term "Agreement" and all reference thereto,
as used throughout this instrument, shall mean this instrument as
originally executed, or if later amended or supplemented, then as so
amended or supplemented.
(p) Enforcement Costs. If: (i) this Agreement is placed by the Buyer in
the hands of an attorney for enforcement or is enforced by the Buyer
through any legal proceeding; or (ii) an attorney is retained to represent
the Buyer in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other
proceedings affecting creditors' rights and involving a claim under this
Agreement; or (iii) an attorney is retained to represent the Buyer in any
other proceedings whatsoever in connection with this Agreement, then the
Company shall pay to the Buyer, as incurred by the Buyer, all reasonable
costs and expenses including attorneys' fees incurred in connection
therewith, in addition to all other amounts due hereunder.
(q) Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay in the exercise
of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right
or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other
right, power or privilege.

EXHIBIT D
FORM OF COMPANY COUNSEL OPINION
Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein, have the meaning set
forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. Based on the foregoing, and
subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth herein, we are of
the opinion that:
1. The Company is a corporation existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Nevada. The Company is qualified to do business as a
foreign corporation and is in good standing in the States of Louisiana.
2. The Company has the corporate power to execute and deliver, and perform
its obligations under, each Transaction Document to which it is a party.
The Company has the corporate power to conduct its business as, to the best
of our knowledge, it is now conducted, and to own and use the properties
owned and used by it.
3. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the
Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by
all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. The execution
and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company, the performance
of the obligations of the Company thereunder and the consummation by it of
the transactions contemplated therein have been duly authorized and
approved by the Company's Board of Directors and no further consent,
approval or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors or its
stockholders is required. The Transaction Documents to which the Company
is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and are the
valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the
Company in accordance with their terms except as such enforceability may be
limited by general principals of equity or applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting
creditor's rights and remedies.
4. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the
Transaction Documents, the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated thereby including the offering, sale and issuance of the
Commitment Shares, the Warrants and the Purchase Shares in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, and
fulfillment and compliance with terms of the Transaction Documents, does
not and shall not: (i) conflict with, constitute a breach of or default (or
an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both,
constitutes or could constitute a breach or a default), under (a) the
Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company, (b) any material
agreement, note, lease, mortgage, deed or other material instrument to
which to our knowledge the Company is a party or by which the Company or
any of its assets are bound, (ii) result in any violation of any statute,
law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company, or (iii) to our
knowledge, violate any order, writ, injunction or decree applicable to the
Company or any of its subsidiaries.
5. The issuance of the Purchase Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to the
terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents has been duly authorized.
6,000,000 shares of Common Stock have been properly reserved for issuance
under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. 645,000 shares of Common Stock
have been properly reserved for issuance under the Warrant Agreement. When
issued and paid for in accordance with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement,
the Purchase Shares shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable,
to our knowledge, free of all taxes, liens, charges, restrictions, rights
of first refusal and preemptive rights. When issued and paid for in
accordance with the Warrant Agreement, the Warrant Shares shall be validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable, to our knowledge, free of all taxes,
liens, charges, restrictions, rights of first refusal and preemptive
rights. To our knowledge, the execution and delivery of the Registration
Rights Agreement do not, and the performance by the Company of its
obligations thereunder shall not, give rise to any rights of any other
person for the registration under the Securities Act of any shares of
Common Stock or other securities of the Company which have not been waived.
6. As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company
consists of (i) ___________ shares of common stock, par value $_____ per
share, of which to our knowledge ___________ shares are issued and
outstanding, and (ii) ________ shares of preferred stock, par value $_____
per share of which to our knowledge ________ shares are issued and
outstanding. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(c) of the Common Stock
Purchase Agreement, to our knowledge, there are no outstanding shares of
capital stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for shares of the capital stock of the Company.
7. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and your compliance with
the covenants made by you in the Transaction Documents, the offering, sale
and issuance of the Commitment Shares and the Warrants to you pursuant to
the Transaction Documents is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act
and the securities laws and regulations of the States of Nevada and
Louisiana.
8. Other then which has been obtained and completed prior to the date
hereof, no authorization, approval, consent, filing or other order of any
federal or state governmental body, regulatory agency, or stock exchange or
market, or any court, or, to our knowledge, any third party is required to
be obtained by the Company to enter into and perform its obligations under
the Transaction Documents or for the Company to issue and sell the Purchase
Shares and Warrant Shares as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
9. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the
Exchange Act. To our knowledge, since January 1, 1999, the Company has
been in compliance with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act
applicable to it. To our knowledge, since January 1, 1999, the Company has
not received any written notice from the Principal Market stating that the
Company has not been in compliance with any of the rules and regulations
(including the requirements for continued listing) of the Principal Market.
We further advise you that to our knowledge, except as disclosed on
Schedule 3(h) in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, there is no action,
suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public
board or body, any governmental agency, any stock exchange or market, or
self-regulatory organization, which has been threatened in writing or which
is currently pending against the Company, any of its subsidiaries, any
officers or directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of
the properties of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
In addition, we have participated in the preparation of the SEC Documents
and the Registration Statement (SEC File #________) covering the sale of
the Purchase Shares, the Commitment Shares and the Warrant Shares including
the prospectus dated ____________, contained therein and in conferences
with officers and other representatives of the Company (including the
Company's independent auditors) during which the contents of the SEC
Documents, the Registration Statement and related matters were discussed
and reviewed and, although we are not passing upon and do not assume any
responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements
contained in the SEC Documents or the Registration Statement, on the basis
of the information that was developed in the course of the performance of
the services referred to above, considered in the light of our
understanding of the applicable law, nothing came to our attention that
caused us to believe that the SEC Documents or the Registration Statement
(other than the financial statements and schedules and the other financial
and statistical data included therein, as to which we express no belief),
as of their dates, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.
