(a)	For Financings consisting of equity investments, including debt convertible into common stock and preferred stock convertible into common stock, during the term of this Agreement and for any Post-termination Closing, a fee of 10% (ten percent) of each Financing, payable to the Advisor in cash from the proceeds of the Financing, either prior to, or immediately after, the transfer of the proceeds of the Financing or Transaction to the Company;

These shares of Common Stock and Warrants will have the same terms, valuation or value, exercise price and registration rights as the Common Stock and warrants issued in the respective Financing or Transaction, (however, such Warrants shall have a cashless exercise feature irrespective of whether the warrants in the respective Financing or Transaction have such cashless exercise feature), except that if no warrants are issued in the respective Financing or Transaction then the Warrants shall have a term of at least five (5) years, an exercise price equal to the share price under the most recent Financing, Transaction or other valuation, or as mutually agreed to by the Company and the Advisor, and along with the Common Stock, piggy back registration rights;

-3-

	of total gross consideration provided by such merger and/or Transaction, such fee to be payable in the same form of consideration received by the seller/merged company. This will be in addition to any fees payable by the Company to any other intermediary, if any, which shall be per separate agreements negotiated between Company and such other intermediary; and

(f)	Upon the execution of this Agreement by all parties, the Company shall advance GHS $25,000 to be applied to expenses (including legal fees and costs) incurred in connection with this Agreement by GHS. If the total expenses (including legal fees and costs) incurred by GHS in connection with this Agreement exceed $25,000, the Company shall make additional advances of $25,000 each upon the written request of GHS. GHS will submit an itemized statement of expenses together with reasonable supporting documentation to the Company on a monthly basis and, to the extent the advances made from time to time by the Company to GHS do not cover the expenses of GHS, the Company shall reimburse GHS for such expenses within 20 days of the date of such itemized statement. Any reasonable and documented expenses (including legal fees and costs) incurred by Ardent in connection with this Agreement shall be submitted by Ardent to GHS, for application of the advances or reimbursements by the Company in the above-described manner. The Company shall not be required to reimburse Advisor expenses (or advance funds for such expenses) to the extent the aggregate expense reimbursement hereunder would exceed $100,000, unless the Company authorizes the incurrence of expenses in excess of such amount.

The Advisor acknowledges that the Common Stock and warrants set forth in this Paragraph 4 will be restricted securities as defined under the Securities Act of 1933, and that they will be subject to the following restriction, which will be noted as a legend in substantially the following form on the face of the certificates representing the shares and the warrants:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”) OR QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE (THE “LAW”). SUCH SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NEITHER SAID SHARES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SHARES UNDER THE ACT AND QUALIFICATION UNDER THE LAW OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION ARE NOT REQUIRED AS TO SAID SHARES.

5. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. If the Advisor is successful in raising the Financing Requirement for the Company during the term of this Agreement or pursuant to a Post-termination Closing, and the Company seeks additional Financing, then the Company shall grant the Advisor a right of first refusal for twelve months at the same terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. If the Company is presented with a term sheet during the Right of First Refusal, the Advisor, after receiving the term sheet from the Company, must inform the Company within ten (10) days that it believes in good faith that it can perform. If the Advisor believes it cannot perform, than the Company shall not be bound by the Advisor’s Right of Xxxxx

-4-

Refusal. However, if the Advisor, in its good faith estimate, believes it can perform and notwithstanding any terms, conditions or provisions of this Agreement, if the Company enters into a placement agreement for Financing or any other agreement whereby a broker or agent has agreed to raise capital for the Company, the Advisor shall receive compensation and fees at an equivalent rate (on a pro rata basis) as such broker or agent, but such equivalent rate shall not be below the rates provided in Paragraph 4 of this Agreement.

6. TERM OF AGREEMENT. The term of this Agreement shall be until October 31, 2007 and commence on the date hereof, subject to Paragraph 7 hereof. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving the other party prior fifteen (15) days written notice of such termination.

The Company agrees to keep the Advisor currently informed as to any changes in material facts regarding the Company, its proposed business, its assets and liabilities, or any other matters referred to in the disclosure documents provided by the Company. Other than the Financing being undertaken by Advisor on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement, during the term of this Agreement (a) neither the Company, nor any affiliate of the Company, shall directly or indirectly sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of in any way any Shares (as defined below) now or hereafter beneficially owned or held by any such Person, except for Permitted Transactions (defined below) unless otherwise agreed in writing by Advisor, and (b) the Company shall not undertake any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger or similar event without the prior written consent of GHS. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Shares” shall mean any capital stock of or other equity interest in the Company, or any securities exercisable for or convertible into any of the foregoing owned as of the date hereof or any time hereafter, or any agreement or commitment to issue any of the foregoing.

“Permitted Transactions” shall include:

(a)	Bridge financing in an amount not to exceed $500,000 in aggregate principal amount of indebtedness or in net proceeds to be received by the Company, which bridge financing is anticipated to be repaid with proceeds of a Financing;
