others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of,
any agreement, indenture or instrument to which Buyer is a party; or (iii)

(e)
No
Public Sale or Distribution.
Buyer
is acquiring the Securities for its own account and not with a view towards,

for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof in a
manner that would violate the 1933 Act, except pursuant to sales registered
or
exempted under the 1933 Act; provided,

Investor
Status.
Buyer

holding the Securities and the Warrant Shares for an indefinite period of time
and the risk of loss of its entire investment. Buyer has sufficient knowledge
and experience in financial and business matters and in investing in companies
similar to the Company so as to be able to evaluate the risks and merits of

Reliance
on Exemptions.
Buyer

its
acquisition of the Securities.

(i) the approximate length of time that Buyer will be required to remain an
owner of the Securities; (ii) the percentage of profit and/or amount of or
type
of consideration, profit, or loss (including, without limitation, tax benefits)
to be realized, if any, as a result of investment in the Securities and (iii)

of
the Company as of the date hereof.

The

business as now being conducted. The Company and each Subsidiary is duly
qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every
jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business
conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that
the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not have a Material
Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement, “Material
Adverse Effect”
means
any material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, operations,
results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the
Company, taken as whole, or on the transactions contemplated hereby and by
the
other Transaction Documents, or on the authority or ability of the Company

Subsidiary and the consummation by the Company and each Subsidiary of the

the

of the Company and (other than the filing with the SEC of a Form D and one
or
more Registration Statements in accordance with the requirements of the
Registration Rights Agreement and other than filings with “Blue Sky” authorities
as required therein) no further filing, consent, or authorization is required
by
the Company, any Subsidiary or their respective board of directors or
stockholders. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents of even date
herewith have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and each
Subsidiary, and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the
Company and each Subsidiary, enforceable against the Company and each Subsidiary
in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may
be
limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or
affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and
remedies.
(c) Issuance
of Securities.
The
issuance of the Securities is duly authorized and free from all taxes, liens
and
charges with respect to the issue thereof. Upon issuance at each of the Closing
Date and the Second Tranche Payment Date, the Yield Enhancement Shares and
Warrants will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from
all
preemptive or similar rights, taxes, liens and charges with respect to the
issue
thereof, with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder
of
Common Stock. Upon issuance, the Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights, taxes,
liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders being
entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock. Assuming the

Conflicts.
The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents by the Company and each Subsidiary and the consummation by the Company
and each Subsidiary of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
(including, without limitation, the issuance of the Securities) will not (i)
result in a violation of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the Company’s
Bylaws, or the governing documents of any of the Subsidiaries or the terms
of
any capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (ii) conflict
with,
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 rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or
instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party; or (iii) result
in
a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including

foreseeable future.
(f) Acknowledgment

The
Company acknowledges and agrees that Buyer is acting solely in the capacity

Integrated Offering.
Neither
the Company, its Subsidiaries, any of their affiliates, or any Person acting
on
their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any
security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that
would require registration of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause
this offering of the Securities 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
any exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the securities of
the
Company are listed or designated. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, their
affiliates or any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps

transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to
Rule
144, the transfer agent shall issue such Yield Enhancement Shares or Warrant
Shares to Buyer, assignee or transferee, as the case may be, without any

condition(s)), the nonbreaching party shall have the option to terminate this
Agreement with respect to such breaching party at the close of business on
such
date without liability of any party to any other party.
(b) Second
Tranche Closing.
In the
event that the Second Tranche Closing shall not have occurred with respect
to
Buyer on or before five business days of the Second Tranche Payment Date due
to
the Company’s or Buyer’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section
6(b) and Section 7(b) above (and the nonbreaching party’s failure to waive such
unsatisfied condition(s)), the nonbreaching party shall have the option to
terminate this Agreement with respect to such breaching party at the close
of
business on such date without liability of any party to any other party provided
that this shall not preclude any party from any claim with respect to the
Initial Promissory Note, Initial Warrants, Initial Yield Enhancement Shares
and
the related Transaction Documents.
9.
MISCELLANEOUS.
(a)
Governing
Law; Jurisdiction.
All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of
Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law
provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdictions)
that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than
the
State of Delaware. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Delaware, for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that
such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that
the
venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby
irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being
served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to
such
party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees
that
such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right
to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
25
(b)
Counterparts.
This
Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which
shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when
counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party;
provided that a facsimile signature shall be considered due execution and shall
be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if
the
signature were an original, not a facsimile signature.
(c)
Headings.
The
headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form
part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.
(d)
Severability.
If any
provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or
the
validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other
jurisdiction.
(e)
Entire
Agreement; Amendments.
This
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents supersede all other prior oral
or
written agreements between Buyer, the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries, and
their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters
discussed herein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the
instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding
of
the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except
as specifically set forth herein or therein, none of the Company, the Company’s
Subsidiaries or Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or
undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision of this Agreement may
be
amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and Buyer.
No provision hereof may be waived other than by an instrument in writing signed
by the party against whom enforcement is sought. No such amendment shall be
effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of
the
applicable Securities then outstanding. The Company has not, directly or
indirectly, made any agreements with Buyer relating to the terms or conditions
of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set
forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company
confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, Buyer has not made any
commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing
to
the Company or otherwise.

fulfill any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, or by reason of any
breach of the representations and warranties made by the Company
herein.
(l)
No
Strict Construction.
The

the
parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction
will
be applied against any party.
(m)

and each holder of the Securities shall have all rights and remedies set forth
in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders
have

specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages

law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such
restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied
shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment

not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
