conducted. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business
and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of the business

voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other managing
body of such entity, (ii) in the case of a partnership or limited liability
company, the interest in the capital or profits of such partnership or limited
liability company or (iii) in the case of a trust, estate, association,
joint venture or other entity, the beneficial interest in such trust, estate,

Schedule
5(a).

Enforceability.
This
Agreement, the Note, Escrow Agreement, and any other agreements delivered
together with this Agreement or in connection herewith (collectively

have
been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, and Subsidiaries
(as applicable) and are valid and binding agreements of the Company and
Subsidiaries, and are enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and
similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights
generally and to general principles of equity. The Company has full corporate
power and authority necessary to enter into and deliver the Transaction
Documents and to perform its obligations thereunder.

and the Company’s performance of its obligations thereunder has been unanimously
approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.
(f) No
Violation or Conflict.
Assuming the representations and warranties of the Subscribers in Section 4
are
true and correct, neither the issuance and sale of the Securities nor the
performance of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement and all other
agreements entered into by the Company relating thereto by the Company
will:
(i) violate,
conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default (or an event
which
with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would be reasonably
likely to constitute a default) under (A) the articles or certificate of
incorporation, charter or bylaws of the Company, (B) to the Company's knowledge,
any decree, judgment, order, law, treaty, rule, regulation or determination
applicable to the Company of any court, governmental agency or body, or
arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company or over the properties or assets

the Company or any of its Affiliates is bound, or to which any of the properties
of the Company or any of its Affiliates is subject, or (D) the terms of any
"lock-up" or similar provision of any underwriting or similar agreement to
which
the Company, or any of its Affiliates is a party except the violation, conflict,
breach, or default of which would not have a Material Adverse Effect;

debt or security instrument of any other creditor or equity holder of the
Company, nor result in the acceleration of the due date of any obligation of
the
Company; or
(iv) will
result in the triggering of any piggy-back registration rights of any person
or
entity holding securities of the Company or having the right to receive
securities of the Company.
(g) The
Securities.
The
Securities upon issuance:

or
will be, free and clear of any security interests, liens, claims or other
encumbrances, subject to restrictions upon transfer under the 1933 Act and any
applicable state securities laws;
(ii) have
been, or will be, duly and validly authorized, fully paid and
non-assessable;
(iii) will
not
have been issued or sold in violation of any preemptive or other similar rights

is no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened action,
suit,
proceeding or investigation before any court, governmental agency or body,
or
arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company, or any of its Affiliates that
would affect the execution by the Company or the performance by the Company
of
its obligations under the Transaction Documents. Except as disclosed in the
Reports, there is no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, basis
for
or threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation before any court,
governmental agency or body, or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company,
or any of its Affiliates which litigation if adversely determined would have
a
Material Adverse Effect.
(i) No
Market Manipulation.
The
Company and its Affiliates have not taken, and will not take, directly or
indirectly, any action designed to, or that might reasonably be expected to,
cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Common

the
Securities may be issued or resold.

Adverse Event relating to the Company's business, financial condition or affairs
not disclosed in the Reports. The Reports and Other Written Information do
not

Integrated Offering.
Neither
the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their

or
solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause
the offer of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with
prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable
stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules
and regulations of the OTC Bulletin Board (“Bulletin
Board”)
which
would impair the exemptions relied upon in this Offering or the Company’s
ability to timely comply with its obligations hereunder. Neither the Company
nor
any of its Affiliates will take any action or steps that would cause the offer
or issuance of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings or issuances
which would impair the exemptions relied upon in this Offering or the Company’s
ability to timely comply with its obligations hereunder. The Company will not
conduct any offering other than the transactions contemplated hereby that will
be integrated with the offer or issuance of the Securities that would impair
the
exemptions relied upon in this Offering or the Company’s ability to timely
comply with its obligations hereunder.

General Solicitation.

The
Company has no liabilities or obligations which are material, individually
or in
the aggregate, other than those incurred in the ordinary course of the Company
businesses since September 30, 2007 and which, individually or in the aggregate,
would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,
except
as disclosed in the Reports or on Schedule
5(o).
(p) No
Undisclosed Events or Circumstances.
Since
September 30, 2007, no event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect
to the Company or its businesses, properties, operations or financial condition,
that, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure
or
announcement prior to the date hereof by the Company but which has not been
so
publicly announced or disclosed in the Reports.

are set forth in the Reports or on Schedule
5(d).

there
are no options, warrants, or rights to subscribe to, securities, rights or
obligations convertible into or exchangeable for or giving any right to
subscribe for any shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries.
7
(r) Dilution.
The
Company's executive officers and directors understand the nature of the
Securities being sold hereby and recognize that the issuance of the Securities
will have a potential dilutive effect on the equity holdings of other holders
of
the Company’s equity or rights to receive equity of the Company. The board of
directors of the Company has concluded, in its good faith business judgment
that
the issuance of the Securities is in the best interests of the
Company.

anticipated by the Company to arise between the Company and the accountants

Company.
Neither
the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company is an “investment company” within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(u) Foreign
Corrupt Practices.
Neither
the Company, nor to the knowledge of the Company, any agent or other person
acting on behalf of the Company, has (i) directly or indirectly, used any funds
for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses
related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful
payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any
foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii)
failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company (or made by any

of law, or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision of the Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

and
has a class of Common Stock registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the 0000
Xxx. The Company is not a “shell company” as that term is employed in the 1933

(x) Solvency.
Based
on the financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date after giving
effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes
hereunder, (i) the Company’s fair saleable value of its assets exceeds the
amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s
existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities)
as
they mature; (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small
capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted
and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account
the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company,
and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (iii)
the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company
would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account
all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on
or
in respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company
does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they
mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on
or
in respect of its debt).

100% of the outstanding equity of the Subsidiaries and rights to receive equity
of the Subsidiaries free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and claims, except
as set forth on Schedule

interest in the Subsidiaries.

From the
date of this Agreement and until the End Date, the Company agrees that except
in
connection with a Form 8-K and the registration statement or statements
regarding the Subscribers’ securities or in correspondence with the SEC
regarding same, it will not disclose publicly or privately the identity of
the
Subscribers unless expressly agreed to in writing by a Subscriber or only to
the
extent required by law and then only upon five days prior notice to Subscriber.
In any event and subject to the foregoing, the Company undertakes to file a
Form
10-SB, Form 8-K or make a public announcement describing the Offering not later

information, relating to the Company or Subsidiaries, the Company shall so
indicate to such Subscriber contemporaneously with delivery of such notice
or
information. In the absence of any such indication, such Subscriber shall
be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice and information
do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company
or its Subsidiaries.
12
(o) Non-Public
Information.
The
Company covenants and agrees that except for the Reports, Other Written

material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Subscriber shall
have
agreed in writing to keep such information in confidence. The Company
understands and confirms that each Subscriber shall be relying on the foregoing
representations in effecting transactions in securities of the
Company.
(p) Negative
Covenants.
So long
as a Note is outstanding, without the consent of the Subscribers, the Company
will not and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to directly or

proceedings; (c) pledges and deposits made in the ordinary course of business
in
compliance with workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance and other social

ordinary course of business; (e) Liens created with respect to the financing
of
the purchase of new property in the ordinary course of the Company’s business up
to the amount of the purchase price of such property; and (f) easements, zoning
restrictions, rights-of-way and similar encumbrances on real property imposed
by
law or arising in the ordinary course of business that do not secure any
monetary obligations and do not materially detract from the value of the
affected property (each of (a) through (f), a “Permitted
Lien”);
(ii) amend
its
certificate of incorporation, bylaws or its charter documents so as to
materially and adversely affect any rights of the Subscriber;

interest to be taken in the assets of the Company or any Subsidiary; nor issue

directly or indirectly, a right in any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary,
superior to any right of the holder of a Note in or to such assets.
(r) Notices.
For so
long as the Subscribers hold any Securities, the Company will maintain as United
States address and United States fax number for notices purposes under the
Transaction Documents.
10. Covenants
of the Company Regarding Indemnification.
The
Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse and defend the
Subscribers, the Subscribers' officers, directors, agents, Affiliates, members,
managers, control persons, and principal shareholders, against any claim, cost,
expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage (including reasonable legal
fees)
of any nature, incurred by or imposed upon the Subscriber or any such person
which results, arises out of or is based upon (i) any material misrepresentation
by Company or breach of any representation or warranty by Company in this
Agreement or in any Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto, or other agreement
delivered pursuant hereto; or (ii) after any applicable notice and/or cure
periods, any breach or default in performance by the Company of any covenant
or
undertaking to be performed by the Company hereunder, or any other agreement
entered into by the Company and Subscriber relating hereto.
11.1. Delivery
of Unlegended Shares.
(a) Within
seven business days (such seventh business day being the “Unlegended
Shares Delivery Date”)
after
the business day on which the Company has received (i) a notice that Shares
or
any other Common Stock held by a Subscriber have been sold pursuant to a
registration statement, if any, or Rule 144, (ii) a representation that the
prospectus delivery requirements, or the requirements of Rule 144, as applicable
and if required, have been satisfied, (iii) the original share certificates
representing the shares of Common Stock that have been sold, and (iv) in the
case of sales under Rule 144, customary representation letters of the Subscriber
and/or a Subscriber’s broker regarding compliance with the requirements of Rule
144, the Company at its expense, (y) shall deliver, and shall cause legal
counsel selected by the Company to deliver to its transfer agent (with copies
to
Subscriber) an appropriate instruction and opinion of such counsel, directing
the delivery of shares of Common Stock without any legends including the legend
set forth in Section 4(i) above (the “Unlegended
Shares”);
and
(z) cause the transmission of the certificates representing the Unlegended
Shares together with a legended certificate representing the balance of the
submitted certificate, if any, to the Subscriber at the address specified in
the
notice of sale, via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise on
or
before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date. In the event that the Shares are
sold in a manner that complies with an exemption from registration, the Company
will promptly instruct its counsel to issue to the Company’s transfer agent an
opinion permitting removal of the legend indefinitely if pursuant to Rule
144(k).
14
(b) In
lieu
of delivering physical certificates representing the Unlegended Shares, upon
request of a Subscriber, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a
legend and the Subscriber is not obligated to return such certificate for the
placement of a legend thereon, the Company will cause its transfer agent to
electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares by crediting the account of
Subscriber’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission system, if such transfer agent participates in
such
DWAC system. Such delivery must be made on or before the Unlegended Shares
Delivery Date.
(c) The
Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Unlegended Shares
pursuant to Section 11 hereof later than the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date
could result in economic loss to a Subscriber. As compensation to a Subscriber
for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payment fees (as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty) to the Subscriber for late delivery of Unlegended
Shares in the amount of $100 per business day after the Delivery Date for each
$10,000 of purchase price of the Unlegended Shares subject to the delivery
default. In the event damages are payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence,
then the Subscriber may elect to receive liquidated damages under this Section
11.1(c) or Section 12(g) below. If during any 360 day period, the Company fails
to deliver Unlegended Shares as required by this Section 11.1 for an aggregate
of 30 days, then each Subscriber or assignee holding Securities subject to
such
default may, at its option, require the Company to redeem all or any portion
of
the Shares subject to such default at a price per share equal to the greater
of
(i) 120% of the purchase price of such Shares, or (ii) a fraction in which
the
numerator is the highest closing price of the Common Stock during the
aforedescribed 30 day period and the denominator of which is the purchase price
of the Shares during such 30 day period, multiplied by the purchase price of
the
Shares (“Unlegended
Redemption Amount”).
The
Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately
available funds upon demand.
(d)
In
addition to any other rights available to a Subscriber, if the Company fails
to
deliver to a Subscriber Unlegended Shares as required pursuant to this
Agreement, within three business days after the Unlegended Shares Delivery
Date
and the Subscriber or a broker on the Subscriber’s behalf, purchases (in an open
market transaction or otherwise) shares of common stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by such Subscriber of the shares of Common Stock which
the Subscriber was entitled to receive from the Company (a "Buy-In"),
then
the Company shall pay in cash to the Subscriber (in addition to any remedies
available to or elected by the Subscriber) the amount by which (A) the
Subscriber's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any)
for
the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate purchase
price
of the shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as
Unlegended Shares together
with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum accruing until such amount
and
any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For
example, if a Subscriber purchases shares of Common Stock having a total
purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to $10,000 of purchase
price of shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as
Unlegended Shares, the Company shall be required to pay the Subscriber $1,000,
plus interest. The Subscriber shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Subscriber in respect of the
Buy-In.
(e) In
the
event a Subscriber shall request delivery of Unlegended Shares as described
in
Section 11.1 and the Company is required to deliver such Unlegended Shares
pursuant to Section 11.1, the Company may not refuse to deliver Unlegended
Shares based on any claim that such Subscriber or any one associated or
affiliated with such Subscriber has been engaged in any violation of law, or
for
any other reason, unless, an injunction or temporary restraining order from
a
court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining delivery of such Unlegended
Shares shall have been sought and obtained by the Company or at the Company’s
request or with the Company’s assistance,
and the
Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of such Subscriber in the
amount of 120% of the amount of the aggregate purchase price of the Shares
which
are subject to the injunction or temporary restraining order, which bond shall
remain in effect until the final unappealable disposition of the litigation
of
the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Subscriber to
the
extent Subscriber obtains judgment in Subscriber’s favor.
15
11.2. In
the
event commencing one hundred and eighty-one (181) days after the Closing Date
and ending five years thereafter, the Subscriber is not permitted to resell
any
of the Shares without any restrictive legend or if such sales are permitted
but
subject to volume limitations or further restrictions on resale as a result
of
the unavailability to Subscriber of Rule 144(k) under the 1933 Act or any
successor rule (a “144
Default”),
for
any reason except for Subscriber’s status as an Affiliate or “control person” of
the Company, then the Company shall pay such Subscriber as liquidated damages
(“Liquidated
Damages”)
and
not as a penalty an amount equal to one percent (1%) for the first day of such
occurrence and one percent (1%) for each thirty (30) days (or such lesser
pro-rata amount for any period less than thirty (30) days) thereafter of the
purchase price of the Shares owned by the Subscriber during the pendency of
the
144 Default.

accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is
accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction
or
injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement
and
to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition
to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity.
Subject to Section 12(d) hereof, the Company hereby irrevocably waives, and
agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that
it
is not personally subject to the jurisdiction in New York of such court, that
the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that
the
venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing in this Section
shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted
by law.
(f) Independent
Nature of Subscribers.
The
Company acknowledges that the obligations of each Subscriber under the
Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any
other Subscriber, and no Subscriber shall be responsible in any way for the
performance of the obligations of any other Subscriber under the Transaction
Documents. The
Company acknowledges that each Subscriber has represented that the decision
of
each Subscriber to purchase Securities has been made by such Subscriber
independently of any other Subscriber and independently of any information,
materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations,
assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial
or
otherwise) or prospects of the Company which may have been made or given by
any
other Subscriber or by any agent or employee of any other Subscriber, and no
Subscriber or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any
Subscriber (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such
information, materials, statements or opinions. The
Company acknowledges that nothing contained in any Transaction Document, and
no
action taken by any Subscriber pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to
constitute the Subscribers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture
or
any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Subscribers are
in
any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or
the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company
acknowledges that each Subscriber shall be entitled to independently protect
and
enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out
of the Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any
other Subscriber to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for
such
purpose. The Company acknowledges that it has elected to provide all
Subscribers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience
of
the Company and not because Company was required or requested to do so by the
Subscribers. The Company acknowledges that such procedure with respect to
the Transaction Documents in no way creates a presumption that the Subscribers
are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to the Transaction
Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.
17
(g) Damages.
In the
event the Subscriber is entitled to receive any liquidated damages pursuant
to
the Transactions, the Subscriber may elect to receive the greater of actual
damages or such liquidated damages.
(h) Consent.
As used
in the Agreement, “consent of the Subscribers” or similar language means the
consent of holders of not less than 75% of the total of the Shares issued and
issuable upon conversion of outstanding Notes owned by Subscribers on the date
consent is requested.
(i) Limit
on Liability.
In
no
event shall the liability of any Subscriber or permitted successor hereunder
or
under any Transaction Document or other agreement delivered in connection
herewith be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds
actually received by such Subscriber upon the sale of Shares.
(j) Equal
Treatment.
No
consideration shall be offered or paid to any person to amend or consent to
a
waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless
the
same consideration is also offered and paid to all the Subscribers and their
permitted successors and assigns.
(k) Maximum
Payments.
Nothing
contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in
connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of
a
rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by
applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required
to
be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law,
any
payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by
the
Company to the Subscriber and thus refunded to the Company.
(l) Calendar
Days.
All
references to “days” in the Transaction Documents shall mean calendar days
unless otherwise stated. The terms “business days” and “trading days” shall mean
days that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading for three or more
hours. Time periods shall be determined as if the relevant action, calculation
or time period were occurring in New York City. Any deadline that falls on
a
non-business day in any of the Transaction Documents shall be automatically
extended to the next business day and interest, if any, shall be calculated
and
payable through such extended period.
