provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract, covenant or
instrument under which any employee is now obligated.
3.10
|
Litigation.
|
There
is
no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Company’s
knowledge, currently threatened against the Company that questions the validity

or
to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, or which might result,
either individually or in the aggregate, in any material adverse change in
the
assets, condition, affairs or prospects of the Company, financially or
otherwise, or any change in the current equity ownership of the Company, nor
is
the Company aware that there is any basis for any of the foregoing. The Company
is not a party or subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction,
judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality. There
is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation by the Company currently pending
or which the Company intends to initiate.

|
Taxes.
|
5
The
Company has duly, properly and timely filed all tax returns with federal, state
and local taxing authorities that are required to be filed as of the date of

not adequately provided for.
3.12
|
Employees.
|
The
Company has no collective bargaining agreements with any of its employees.
There
is no labor union organizing activity pending or, to the Company’s knowledge,
threatened with respect to the Company. To the Company’s knowledge, no employee
of the Company, nor any consultant with whom the Company has contracted, is
in
violation of any term of any employment contract, proprietary information
agreement or any other agreement relating to the right of any such individual
to
be employed by, or to contract with, the Company because of the nature of the
business to be conducted by the Company; and, to the Company’s knowledge, the
continued employment by the Company of its present employees, and the
performance of the Company’s contracts with its independent contractors, will
not result in any such violation. The Company has not received any notice
alleging that any such violation has occurred. Except as may be set forth in
the
2006 Form 10-KSB or 2007 Form 10-QSB, no employee of the Company has been
granted the right to continued employment by the Company or to any material
compensation following termination of employment with the Company. The Company
is not aware that any officer or key employee, or that any group of key
employees, intends to terminate his, her or their employment with the Company,
nor does the Company have a present intention to terminate the employment of
any
officer, key employee or group of key employees.
3.13
|
Compliance
with Laws; Permits.
|
To
its
knowledge, the Company is not in violation of any applicable statute, rule,
regulation, order or restriction of any domestic or foreign government or any
instrumentality or agency thereof in respect of the conduct of its business
or
the ownership of its properties which violation would materially and adversely
affect the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition, operations or
prospects of the Company. No governmental orders, permissions, consents,
approvals or authorizations are required to be obtained and no registrations
or
declarations are required to be filed in connection with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the issuance of the Shares or the Conversion
Shares, except such as has been duly and validly obtained or filed, or with
respect to any filings that must be made after the Closing, as will be filed
in
a timely manner. Except as may be set forth in the 2006 Form 10-KSB or 2007
Form
10-QSB, the Company has all franchises, permits, licenses and any similar
authority necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted
by
it, the lack of which could materially and adversely affect the business,
properties, prospects or financial condition of the Company and believes it
can
obtain, without undue burden or expense, any similar authority for the conduct
of its business as planned to be conducted.
3.14
|

the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in
Section 4.2 hereof, the offer, sale and issuance of the Shares and the

REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF
PURCHASER

of
the Company set forth in this Agreement):
4.1
|
Requisite
Power and Authority.

Investment
Representations.
|
Purchaser
understands that neither the Shares nor the Conversion Shares have been
registered under the Securities Act. Purchaser also understands that the Shares
are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration contained
in the Securities Act based in part upon Purchaser’s representations contained
in this Agreement. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants as
follows:
(a) Purchaser
Bears Economic Risk.
Purchaser has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private
placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company so
that
it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the
Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests. Purchaser must bear
the economic risk of this investment indefinitely until such time as the Shares
are registered pursuant to the Securities Act, or an exemption from registration
is available.
(b) Acquisition
for Own Account.
Purchaser is acquiring the Shares and the Conversion Shares for Purchaser’s own
account for investment only, and not with a view towards their
distribution.

transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

from such registration is available. Purchaser has been advised or is aware
of
the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act as in
effect from time to time (“Rule

which
permits limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to
the

period under Rule 144 and (iv) the number of shares being sold during any
three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.
(g) Legends.
Purchaser understands that the Shares, and, if issued, the Conversion Shares,
may bear one or more legends substantially as follows:
“THE
SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH
A
VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE
OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY
THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933.”

|
Indemnification.
|
(a)
The
Company will indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless for: (i) all claims, losses,
damages, costs, expenses and liabilities, including, but not limited to
reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs, arising from or in connection with
any violation by the Company of the terms of this Agreement or gross negligence
or willful misconduct by the Company in the performance of the terms of this

hereto). (b) Purchaser will indemnify, defend and hold the Company harmless
against all claims, losses, damages, costs, expenses and liabilities, including,

from Purchaser making any false statement, including but not limited to those
false statements or omissions which cause the exemptions to the registration
or
qualification requirements of state and federal securities laws under which
the
Company is selling the Shares to be unavailable or which result in the violation
of any such securities laws by the Company.
6.2
|
Registration
of the Shares.
|
(a) Registration
Procedures.
The
Company shall:
(i) as
soon
as practicable, but in any event no later than thirty (30) days following the
Closing Date (the “Required
Filing Date”),
prepare and file with the SEC, a Registration Statement on Form SB-2
(“Registration
Statement”)
to
enable the resale of the Shares by Purchaser from time to time;
(ii) use
its
best efforts, subject to receipt of necessary information from Purchaser, to
cause the Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable,
such efforts to include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
preparing and filing with the SEC any financial statements that are required
to
be filed prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement (although
Purchaser hereby acknowledges that, despite any disclaimer of being an
underwriter, a determination by the SEC that Purchaser is deemed an underwriter
shall relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder);
(iii) use
its
best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements
to
the Registration Statement and the accompanying prospectus as may be necessary
to keep the Registration Statement current and effective for a period ending
on
the earlier of: (A) the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (B) the date
on
which Purchaser may sell Shares pursuant to paragraph (k) of Rule 144, or (C)
such time as all Shares purchased by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement have
been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144, and to notify
Purchaser promptly upon the Registration Statement, and each post-effective
amendment thereto, being declared effective by the SEC;
10
(iv) furnish
to Purchaser such number of copies of the Registration Statement and
the
accompanying prospectus (including supplemental prospectuses) as Purchaser
may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition
of all or any of the Shares by Purchaser;
(v) bear
all
expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions, if any) in
connection with the procedures in paragraph (i) through (iii) of this Section
6.2 and the registration of the Shares pursuant to the Registration
Statement;
(vi) advise
Purchaser, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge of the
issuance of any stop order by the SEC delaying or suspending the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement or of the initiation of any proceeding for that
purpose; and it will promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent
the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal at the earliest
possible moment if such stop order should be issued; and
(vii) with
a
view to making available to Purchaser the benefits of Rule 144 and any other
rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit Purchaser to sell
Shares to the public without registration, the Company covenants and agrees
to
use its best efforts to: (A) make and keep public information available, as
those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of such
date as all of Purchaser’s Shares may be resold pursuant to Rule 144(k) or any
other rule of similar effect or such date as all of Purchaser’s Shares shall
have been resold; and (B) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports
and
other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and under
the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(b) Purchaser’s
Obligation.
It
shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any
action pursuant to this Section 6.2 that Purchaser shall furnish to the Company
such information regarding itself, the Shares to be sold by Purchaser, and
the
intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect
the registration of the Shares.
