constitute a material default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or

ordinance, rule, order or regulation of any governmental authority or agency,
regulatory or self-regulatory agency, or court, except for possible violations
the sanctions for which either individually or in the aggregate would not have a
Material Adverse Effect. Except as specifically contemplated by this Agreement
and as required under the 1933 Act or any securities laws of any states, to the
Company's knowledge, the Company is not required to obtain any consent,
authorization, permit or order of, or make any filing or registration (except
the filing of a registration statement as outlined in the Registration Rights
Agreement between the Parties) with, any court, governmental authority or
agency, regulatory or self-regulatory agency or other third party in order for
it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under, or contemplated
by, the Equity Line Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms hereof or
thereof. All consents, authorizations, permits, orders, filings and
registrations which the Company is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding
sentence have been obtained or effected on or prior to the date hereof and are
in full force and effect as of the date hereof. Except as disclosed in Schedule

which might give rise to any of the foregoing. The Company is not, and will not
be, in violation of the listing requirements of the Principal Market as in

adjustments). No other written information provided by or on behalf of the
Company to the Buyer which is not included in the SEC Documents, including,
without limitation, information referred to in Section 4(D) of this Agreement,
