4. ISSUANCE OF SHARES AND REGISTRATION.
(a) Legend. Upon registration of the Shares, the Company shall deliver
to the Purchaser, or per the Purchaser's instructions, the shares of Common
Stock, subject to the following restrictive legend:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE COMPANY'S
REGISTRATION STATEMENT INITIALLY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION ON ____________, 2000, AND MAY BE SOLD IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMPANY'S PROSPECTUS DATED ________, 2000, WHICH
FORMS A PART OF SUCH REGISTRATION STATEMENT, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
OR OTHER EVIDENCE ACCEPTABLE TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
(b) Opinion Letter. It shall be the Company's responsibility to take
all necessary actions and to bear all such costs to issue the Certificate of
Common Stock as provided herein, including the responsibility and cost for
12
delivery of an opinion letter to the transfer agent, if so required. The person
in whose name the certificate of Common Stock is to be registered shall be
treated as a shareholder of record on and after the date of issuance. Upon
surrender of any Share certificates that are to be sold in part, the Company
shall issue to the Purchaser new Share Certificates equal to the unsold amount.
(c) Once the Common Stock has been registered, if the Common Stock is
not delivered per the written instructions of the Purchaser, within 5 (five)
business days after the Company receives the Share certificates from the
Purchaser, then in such event the Company shall pay to Purchaser one-half of one
percent (.50%) in cash, of the purchase price of the Shares delivered to the
Company per each day after the fifth business day following the receipt by the
Company that the Common Stock is not delivered. The Company acknowledges that
its failure to deliver the Common Stock within said five (5) business days will
cause the Initial Investor to suffer damages in an amount that will be difficult
to ascertain. Accordingly, the parties agree that it is appropriate to include
in this Agreement a provision for liquidated damages. The parties acknowledge
and agree that the liquidated damages provision set forth in this section
represents the parties' good faith effort to quantify such damages and, as such,
agree that the form and amount of such liquidated damages are reasonable and
will not constitute a penalty. The payment of liquidated damages shall not
relieve the Company from its obligations to register the Common Stock and
deliver the Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Subscription Agreement.
The Company shall make any payments incurred under this Section 4(c) in
immediately available funds within three (3) business days from the date of
issuance of the applicable Common Stock. Nothing herein shall limit a
Purchaser's right to pursue actual damages for the Company's failure to issue
and deliver Common Stock to the Purchaser within five (5) business days after
registration and after the Company receives the Share certificates from the
Purchaser.
(d) The Company shall at all times reserve and have available all
Common Stock necessary for registration of all the Shares purchased by all
Purchasers of the Shares. If, at any time the Company does not have sufficient
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock available for registration
("Default", the date of such default being referred to herein as the "Default
Date"), the Company shall issue to the Purchaser all of the shares of Common
Stock which are available. The Company shall provide notice of such Default
("Notice of Default") to all Purchasers, within one (1) business day of such
default (with the original delivered by overnight or two day courier).
The Company agrees to pay to all Purchasers of outstanding Shares
payments for a Default ("Default Payments") in the amount of (N/365) x (.24) x
the initial issuance price of the outstanding Shares held by each Purchaser
where N = the number of days from the Default Date to the date (the
13
"Authorization Date") that the Company authorizes a sufficient number of shares
of Common Stock to effect of all remaining Shares. The Company shall send notice
("Authorization Notice") to each Purchaser of outstanding Shares that additional
shares of Common Stock have been authorized, the Authorization Date and the
amount of Purchaser's accrued Default Payments. The accrued Default shall be
paid in cash which payments shall be made to such Purchaser of outstanding
Shares by the fifth day of the following calendar month following registration
of all the Shares.
5. Limits on Amount of Conversion and Ownership.

to a conversion pursuant to redemption by the Company if there is (a) a public
announcement that 50% or more of the Company is being acquired, (b) a public
announcement that the Company is being merged, or (c) a change in control, shall
the Purchaser be entitled to own the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Purchaser and its affiliates, and, would result in
