perform our obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. The execution and delivery of
the
Transaction Agreements by us and the consummation by us of the transactions

necessary corporate action, and no other corporate
proceedings
on our part are necessary to authorize the Transaction Agreements or to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Each of the
Transaction Agreements has been duly and validly executed and delivered by
applicable parties and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of
us,
enforceable against us in accordance with its terms subject to the effect of
any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency (including, without limitation, all laws
relating to fraudulent transfers), reorganization, moratorium or similar laws
affecting creditors' rights generally and subject to the effect of general
principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law
or
in equity). The Company’s Board of Directors (the "Board")
has
approved this Agreement, the Transaction Agreements and the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby and such approvals are sufficient so that the
restrictions on business combinations set forth in any Federal or State laws
or
regulations applicable to us and no other “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control
share acquisition” or other similar anti-takeover statute or regulation, (and
any similar provisions, each a “Takeover
Statute”),
and
no anti-takeover provision in our amended certificate of incorporation or
by-laws shall not apply to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, including, but not limited to, any exercise of the Warrant.
(b) No
Conflict; Required Filings and Consents.
(a) The
execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreements by us do not, and the
performance of this Letter Agreement and the Transaction Agreements by us will
not, (i) conflict with or violate our Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws,
(ii) conflict with or violate any United States or other statute, law,
ordinance, regulation, rule, code, executive order, injunction, judgment, decree
or other order ("Law")
applicable to us or by which of our any property or asset is bound or affected,
or (iii) result in any breach of or constitute a default (or an event which,
with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default) under, or give
to
others any right of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of,
or
result in the creation of a lien or other encumbrance on any of our property
or
asset pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement,
lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation, except,
with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii), for any such conflicts, violations,
breaches, defaults or other occurrences which would not, individually or in
the
aggregate, have a material adverse effect on us.
(c) Our
execution and delivery of this Letter Agreement and the Transaction Agreements
do not, and the performance of this Letter Agreement and the Transaction
Agreements by us will not, require any consent, approval, authorization or
permit of, or filing with or notification to, any foreign, United States

regulatory or administrative authority, agency, instrumentality
or
commission (including any stock exchange or inter-dealer quotation system)
or
any court, tribunal, or judicial or arbitral body.

Filings; The
Company has filed all forms, reports and documents required to be filed by
it
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
since
June 6, 2007, and such filings are available to you, in the form filed with
the
SEC, all forms, reports and other registration statements filed by the Company
with the SEC (such forms, reports and other documents referred to above being,
collectively, the "Company
SEC Reports").
The
Company SEC Reports (i) were prepared in accordance with either the requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"),
or
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"),
as
the case may be, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder existing
at the time the Company SEC Reports were filed, and (ii) did not, at the time
they were filed, or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment, contain
any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to
be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein,
in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
No
Subsidiary is required to file any form, report or other document with the
SEC.
(e) Valid
Issuance of Common Stock.
The
Common Stock that is being purchased by you hereunder, when issued, sold and
delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the consideration
expressed herein, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, and will be free of restrictions on transfer other than
restrictions on transfer under the Transaction Agreements and under applicable
state and federal securities laws. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrant have been duly and validly reserved for issuance and,
upon issuance, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and will be free of restrictions on transfer other than
restrictions on transfer under this Letter Agreement and the Transaction
Agreements and under applicable state and federal securities laws.
(f) Brokerage.
There
are no claims for brokerage commissions, finders' fees or similar compensation
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Letter Agreement and
the Transaction Agreements for which you will have any liability or
responsibility based on any arrangement or agreement binding upon the Company

ten
(10) days advance written notice to the other parties hereto.
6. Any
term
of this Letter Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this
Letter Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance
and
either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of all
the
parties hereto.
