consideration or for a consideration per share less than the bid price of the
Common Stock determined immediately prior to its issuance, (ii) issue any

security instrument granting the holder a security interest in any and all
assets of the Company, or (iv) file any registration statement on Form

Debentures shall remain outstanding.

Company shall issue the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions to its transfer
agent irrevocably appointing Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx XX, P.A. as its agent for purpose
of having certificates issued, registered in the name of the Buyer(s) or its
respective nominee(s), for the shares to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants
as specified from time to time by the Buyer(s) to the Company. Xxxxx
X. Xxxxxxx XX, P.A. shall be paid a cash fee of Fifty Dollars ($50) for every
occasion they act pursuant to the Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions. The Company shall not change its transfer agent without
the express written consent of the Buyer(s), which may be withheld by the
Buyer(s) in its sole discretion. Prior to registration of the shares
to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants under the 1933 Act, 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(g) hereof (in the case of
the
shares to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants prior to registration of
such
shares under the 0000 Xxx) will be given by the Company to its transfer agent
and that the shares to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants shall otherwise
be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the
extent provided in this Agreement and the Investor Registration Rights
Agreement. Nothing in this Section 5 shall affect in any way the
Buyer’s obligations and agreement to comply with all applicable securities laws
upon resale of shares to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. If
the Buyer(s) provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, scope
and
substance customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions to the
effect that registration of a resale by the Buyer(s) of any of the shares to
be
issued upon exercise of the Warrants is not required under the 1933 Act, the
Company shall within two (2) business days instruct its transfer agent to issue
one or more certificates 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 transaction contemplated
hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law
for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5 will be inadequate and
agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the
provisions of this Section 5, that the Buyer(s) shall be entitled, in
addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any
breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity
of
showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being
required.
