value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"); and
WHEREAS, the Company's authorized capital stock consists of 50,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, of which 40,650,504 shares have been issued by the Company and are

that the Company is to issue to such Consultant shares of Common Stock that are
registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and to be

WHEREAS, given that all of the authorized by unissued shares of Common Stock
have been reserved by the Company for issuance to the holders of Debentures upon

maximum number of shares registrable by the Company contemporaneously with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement pursuant to SEC Rule 462(b)) (the
