existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, is duly
licensed or qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation in each

activities makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to so
qualify would not have a material adverse effect on its properties, business or
condition (financial or otherwise), and has the corporate power and authority
and all necessary licenses and permits to carry on its present business as now
conducted, except where the failure to have any such licenses and permits would
not have a material adverse effect on its properties, business or condition

this Agreement, the Note and the Warrant.
SS. 2.2 AUTHORIZATION. The Agreement, the Note and the Warrant have each
been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and each of them

the provisions of, or constitute a default (or event of default) with or without

results of its operations for the period then ended. Since June 30, 2003, there

properties, nor any relationship between the Company and any other Person, nor
any circumstances in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of

registration or qualification with, any governmental authority on the part of
the Company in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement, the Note or the Warrant.

Registration Statement is not filed or does not include the Warrant Shares, the
registration provisions of ss. 6.2 of this Agreement shall be applicable.
E-50

occur pursuant to Section 6.1, and upon the written request of the Purchaser
requesting that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act of
all or part of the Warrant Shares and specifying the intended method of
disposition thereof, the Company thereupon will, as soon as practicable but in

(a) prepare and, in any event within 60 days after the end of the
period within which requests for registration may be given to the Company,
file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to such
Warrant Shares and, within 90 days after the date a request for
registration was first given, cause such registration statement to become
effective, provided, however, that the Company may discontinue any
registration of its securities which is being effected pursuant to ss. 6.2
herein at any time prior to the effective date of the registration
statement relating thereto;
(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in
connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration
statement effective for a period not in excess of 120 days and to comply
with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition
of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period
in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Purchaser set
forth in such registration statement;
(c) furnish to the Purchaser such number of copies of such
registration statement and of each such amendment and supplement thereto
(in each case including all exhibits), such number of copies of the
prospectus included in such registration statement (including each
preliminary prospectus and summary prospectus), in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as the
Purchaser may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of
the Warrant Shares by the Purchaser;
(d) register or qualify such Warrant Shares covered by such
registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such
jurisdictions which apply, and do any other acts and things which may be
necessary or advisable to enable the Purchaser to consummate the
disposition in such jurisdiction of the Warrant Shares owned by the
Purchaser;
E-51
(e) cause such Warrant Shares covered by such registration statement
to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or
authorities as may be necessary to enable the Purchaser to consummate the
disposition of such Warrant Shares;
(f) immediately notify the Purchaser, at any time when a prospectus
relating to the Warrant Shares is required to be delivered under the
Securities Act within the appropriate period mentioned in clause (b) of
this ss. 6.4, of the Company becoming aware that the prospectus included in
such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and within five
days prepare and furnish to the Purchaser a reasonable number of copies of
an amended or supplemental prospectus as may be necessary so that, as
thereafter delivered to the Purchaser of such Warrant Shares, such
prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances
then existing;
(g) otherwise comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the
Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as
practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve
months, but not more than eighteen months, beginning with the first month
after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings
statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities
Act and Rule 158 thereunder;
(h) to list such Warrant Shares on any securities exchange on which
the Common Stock is then listed, if such Warrant Shares are not already so
listed and if such listing is then permitted under the rules of such
exchange, and to provide a transfer agent and registrar for such Warrant
Shares covered by such registration statement not later than the effective
date of such registration statement;
ss. 6.5 INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. In the event of any registration
of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act pursuant to ss.
6.1 or 6.2, the Company agrees to (i) indemnify and hold harmless, to the
extent permitted by law, the Purchaser, and any person who participates as
an underwriter in the offering or sale of the Warrant Shares against any
and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, and
expenses to which the Purchaser, or any such underwriter may became subject
under the Securities Act, common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon (aa) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement contained in the registration statement or
amendment or supplement thereto under which such securities were registered
under the Securities Act, any preliminary, final or summary prospectus
contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (bb) any
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and (ii) reimburse the Purchaser or underwriter for any legal
or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or
E-52
proceeding; provided, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case
to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or
proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made in such registration statement or amendment or supplement
thereto or in any such preliminary, final or summary prospectus in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company
through an instrument duly executed by the Purchaser specifically stating
that it is for use in the preparation thereof; and provided, further, that
the Company will not be required to indemnify any person who participates
as an underwriter in the offering or sale of Warrant Shares or any other
person, if any, who controls such underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability
for which indemnification is claimed results from such underwriter's
failure to send or give a copy of the final prospectus to the person
asserting an untrue statement or an alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, if
such statement or omission was corrected in such final prospectus and the
Company has previously furnished copies thereof to such underwriter. Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any underwriter and
shall survive the transfer of such securities by the Purchaser.
(b) Indemnification by the Purchaser. The Company may require, as a
condition to including any Warrant Shares in any registration statement
filed in accordance with this Article VI, that the Company receive an
undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from the Purchaser, to indemnify
and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth
in this ss. 6.4(b)) the Company, any directors, officers and other
controlling persons thereof, and all other prospective sellers with respect
to any statement or alleged statement in or omission or alleged omission
from such registration statement, any preliminary, final or summary
prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement, if such
statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the

time and from time to time, prepay all or any portion of the outstanding
principal balance due under this Note, provided that each such prepayment is
accompanied by accrued interest on the amount of principal prepaid calculated to

installments of principal in inverse order of their maturity.
5. Mandatory Prepayment. The Company has filed a Registration Statement on

Note and all accrued and unpaid interest shall become and be immediately due and
payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice whatsoever, all of
which are hereby expressly waived.

default shall not constitute a waiver of Purchaser's right of acceleration with
respect to such default or any subsequent default. Following default, unpaid
interest shall be compounded monthly and late fees shall accrue interest from
the date due at the default rate. Following default the Company shall pay all of
Purchaser's costs and expenses of collection either with or without suit,
