REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
2.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company
hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Purchasers:
(a) Organization and Qualification. The Company is a
corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Nevada with the requisite corporate power and authority
to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as
currently conducted. The Company has no subsidiaries other than as set forth
in Schedule 2.1(a) (collectively the "Subsidiaries"). Each of the
Subsidiaries is an entity, duly incorporated or otherwise organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation or organization (as applicable), with the requisite power and
authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its
business as currently conducted. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is
duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation
or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business
conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except
where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be,
could not, individually or in the aggregate, (x) adversely affect the
legality, validity or enforceability of the Securities (as defined below) or
any of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Transfer Agent
Instructions, the Pledge Agreement or the Warrants (collectively, the
"Transaction Documents"), (y) have or result in a material adverse effect on
the results of operations, assets, prospects, or condition (financial or
otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (z)
adversely impair the Company's ability to perform fully on a timely basis its
obligations under any of the Transaction Documents (any of (x), (y) or (z), a
"Material Adverse Effect").
(b) Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the
requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the
transactions contemplated by each of the Transaction Documents and otherwise
to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery of each
of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary
action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the
Company. Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly executed by the
Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will
constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against
the Company in accordance with its terms. Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary is in violation of any of the provisions of its respective
certificate or articles of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational or
charter documents.
(c) Capitalization. The number of authorized, issued and
outstanding capital stock of the Company is set forth in Schedule 2.1(c).
Except as disclosed in Schedule 2.1(c), the Company owns all of the Capital
Stock of each Subsidiary. No shares of Common Stock are entitled to
preemptive or similar rights, nor is any holder of the securities of the
Company entitled to preemptive or similar rights arising out of any agreement
or understanding with the Company by virtue of any of the Transaction
Documents. Except as a result of the purchase and sale of the Debentures and
Warrants and except as disclosed in Schedule 2.1(c), there are no outstanding
options, warrants, script rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any
character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations
convertible into or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to
subscribe for or acquire, any shares of Common Stock, or contracts,
commitments, understandings, or arrangements by which the Company or any
Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock,
or securities or rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common
Stock. The issuance and sale of the Warrants or Underlying Shares (as
hereinafter defined) will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common
Stock or other securities to any Person other than the Purchaser and will not
result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise
or conversion or reset price under such securities.
(d) Issuance of the Debentures and the Warrants. The
Debentures will be duly and validly issued, free and clear of all liens,
encumbrances and rights of first refusal of any kind (collectively, "Liens").
On the date hereof, the Company will have (and will, at all times while
Debentures are outstanding, maintain) an adequate reserve of duly authorized
shares of Common Stock, reserved for issuance to the holders of such
Debentures and Warrants, to enable it to perform its conversion, exercise and
other obligations under this Agreement. Such number of reserved and
available shares of Common Stock shall not be less than the sum of 200% of the
number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) conversion
in full of the Debentures assuming such conversion occurred on the Original
Issue Date, and the Debentures remain outstanding for one year and all
interest is paid in shares of Common Stock and (ii) exercise in full of the
Warrants (the "Initial Minimum"). All such authorized shares of Common Stock
shall be duly reserved for issuance to the holders of the Debentures and
Warrants. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Debentures and upon exercise of the Warrants are collectively referred to
herein as the "Underlying Shares." The Debentures, Warrants and the
Underlying Shares are collectively referred to herein as, the "Securities."
When issued to the Purchasers in accordance with the Debentures and the
Warrants, the Underlying Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens.
(e) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance
of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the
Company of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not (i)
conflict with or violate any provision of the Company's or any Subsidiary's
certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other charter documents
(each as amended through the date hereof), or (ii) subject to obtaining the
Required Approvals (as defined below), 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 (with or without notice, lapse of time or both)
of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a
Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the
Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any property or asset of the
Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii) result in a violation
of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other
restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company or a
Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities laws and
regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary
is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), as
could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or result in a Material
Adverse Effect. The business of the Company is not being conducted in
violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental authority,
except for violations which, individually or in the aggregate, could not have
or result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(f) Filings, Consents and Approvals. Neither the Company
nor any Subsidiary is required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or
order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any
court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other
Person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the
Company of the Transaction Documents, other than: (i) the filings required
pursuant to Section 3.10, (ii) the filing with the Commission of a
registration statement meeting the requirements set forth in the Registration
Rights Agreement and covering the resale of the Underlying Shares by the
Purchasers (the "Underlying Shares Registration Statement"), (iii) applicable
Blue Sky filings, and (iv) in all other cases where the failure to obtain such
consent, waiver, authorization or order, or to give such notice or make such
filing or registration could not have or result in, individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the "Required Approvals").
(g) Litigation; Proceedings. There is no action, suit,
inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the
knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties before or by any
court, arbitrator, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory
authority (federal, state, county, local or foreign) (collectively, an
"Action") which (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or
enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents or the Securities or (ii)
could, if there were an unfavorable decision, individually or in the
aggregate, have or result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company
nor any Subsidiary, nor any director or officer thereof, is or has been the
subject of any Action involving (A) a claim of violation of or liability under
federal or state securities laws or (B) a claim of breach of fiduciary duty;
(iii) the Company does not have pending before the Commission any request for
confidential treatment of information and the Company has no knowledge of any
expected such request that would be made prior to the Effectiveness Date (as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement); and (iv) there has not been,
and to the best of the Company's knowledge there is not pending or
contemplated, any investigation by the Commission involving the Company or any
current or former director or officer of the Company.
(h) No Default or Violation. Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary (i) is in default under or in violation of (and no event has
occurred which has not been waived which, with notice or lapse of time or
both, would result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary under), nor
has the Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in
default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit
agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by
which it or any of its properties is bound, (ii) is in violation of any order
of any court, arbitrator or governmental body, or (iii) is in violation of any
statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority, in each case of
clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above, except as could not individually or in the
aggregate, have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(i) Private Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the
representations and warranties of the Purchasers set forth in Sections
2.2(b)-(g), the offer, issuance and sale of the Securities to the Purchasers
as contemplated hereby are exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act. Neither the Company nor any Person acting on its behalf has
taken or is, to the knowledge of the Company, contemplating taking any action
which could subject the offering, issuance or sale of the Securities to the
registration requirements of the Securities Act including soliciting any offer
to buy or sell the Securities by means of any form of general solicitation or
advertising.
(j) SEC Reports; Financial Statements. The Company has
filed all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including, without limitation, all
filings required pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the two
years preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was
required by law to file such material) (the foregoing materials being
collectively referred to herein as the "SEC Reports" and, together with the
Schedules to this Agreement, the "Disclosure Materials") on a timely basis or
has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such
SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension. As of their
respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC
Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading. All material agreements to which the
Company is a party or to which the property or assets of the Company are
subject have been filed as exhibits to the SEC Reports as required under the
Exchange Act. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC
Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting
requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect
thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved ("GAAP"), except as
may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto,
and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the
Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and
the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject,
in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit
adjustments. Since January 1, 2000, except as specifically disclosed in the
SEC Reports, (a) there has been no event, occurrence or development that has
or that could result in a Material Adverse Effect, (b) the Company has not
incurred any liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other than (x) liabilities
incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and
(y) liabilities not required to be reflected in the Company's financial
statements pursuant to GAAP or required to be disclosed in filings made with
the Commission, (c) the Company has not altered its method of accounting or
the identity of its auditors and (d) the Company has not declared or made any
payment or distribution of cash or other property to its stockholders or

C)) with respect to its capital stock, or purchased, redeemed (or made any
agreements to purchase or redeem) any shares of its capital stock.

Affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of, an "investment
company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Union Atlantic Capital, L.C., no fees or commissions will be payable by the
Company to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement
agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchasers shall have no
obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or
on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section
that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers,
their employees, officers, directors, agents, and partners, and their
respective Affiliates, from and against all claims, losses, damages, costs
(including the costs of preparation and attorney's fees) and expenses suffered
in respect of any such claimed or existing fees, as such fees and expenses are
incurred.
(m) Seniority. No indebtedness of the Company is senior
to the Debentures in right of payment, whether with respect to interest or
upon liquidation or dissolution, or otherwise.
(n) Listing and Maintenance Requirements. Except as set
forth in the SEC Reports, the Company has not, in the two years preceding the
date hereof, received notice (written or oral) from any stock exchange,
market or trading facility on which the Common Stock is or has been listed (or
on which it has been quoted) to the effect that the Company is not in
compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such exchange,
market or trading facility. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that
it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with the
listing and maintenance requirements for continued trading of the Common Stock
on the OTC Bulletin Board.
(o) Patents and Trademarks. The Company and its
Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications,
trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names, copyrights,
licenses and rights which are necessary or material for use in connection with
their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports and which the
failure to so have would have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the
"Intellectual Property Rights"). Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has
received a written notice that the Intellectual Property Rights used by the
Company or its Subsidiaries violates or infringes upon the rights of any
Person. To the best knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property
Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person
of any of the Intellectual Property Rights.
(p) Registration Rights; Rights of Participation. Except
as set forth on Schedule 6(b) to the Registration Rights Agreement, the
Company has not granted or agreed to grant to any Person any rights (including
"piggy-back" registration rights) to have any securities of the Company
registered with the Commission or any other governmental authority which has
not been satisfied. Except as set forth on Schedule 6(b) to the Registration
Rights Agreement, no Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right,
right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
(q) Regulatory Permits. The Company and its Subsidiaries
possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate
federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their
respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports, except where the
failure to possess such permits could not, individually or in the aggregate,
have or result in a Material Adverse Effect ("Material Permits"), and neither
the Company nor any such Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings
relating to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.
(r) Title. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and
marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them which is
material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries and good and
marketable title in all personal property owned by them which is material to
the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear
of all Liens, except for Liens as do not materially affect the value of such
property and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of
such property by the Company and its Subsidiaries. Any real property and
facilities held under lease by the Company and its Subsidiaries are held by
them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases of which the Company and
its Subsidiaries are in compliance and do not interfere with the use made and
proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company and its
Subsidiaries.
(u) Labor Relations. No material labor problem
exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent with respect to any of
the employees of the Company.
(v) Disclosure. The Company confirms that neither it
nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers
or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or might
constitute material non-public information. The Company understands and
confirms that the Purchasers shall be relying on the foregoing representations
in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All disclosure
provided to the Purchasers regarding the Company, its business and the
transactions contemplated hereby, including the Schedules to this Agreement,
furnished by or on behalf of the Company are true and correct and do not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(w) Solvency. Based on the financial condition of the
Company as of the Closing Date, (i) the Company's fair saleable value of its
assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of
the Company's existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent
liabilities) as they mature; (ii) the Company's assets do not constitute
unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal
year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital
needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business
conducted by the Company, and projected capital requirements and capital
availability thereof; and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together
with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its
assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be
sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts
are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond
its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing
and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).
(x) Application of Takeover Protections. The Company
and its Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order
to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination,
poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other
similar anti-takeover provision under the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of
incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result
of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising
their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation the
Company's issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers' ownership of the
Securities.
2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each
Purchaser hereby for itself and for no other Purchaser represents and warrants
to the Company as follows:
(a) Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is an entity
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the

hereunder has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such
Purchaser. Each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement has

binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance
with its terms.
(b) Investment Intent. Such Purchaser is acquiring the
Securities as principal for its own account for investment purposes only and
not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any
part thereof, without prejudice, however, to such Purchaser's right, subject
to the provisions of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, and
the Warrants, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of
such Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act or under an exemption from such registration and in compliance
with applicable federal and state securities laws. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Purchaser to hold
Securities for any period of time. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities
hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Purchaser does not
have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person
to distribute the Securities.

alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication

Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the
Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such
investment.

that it has reviewed the Disclosure Materials and has been afforded (i) the
opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to
receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and
conditions of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of
investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and
the Company's financial condition, results of operations, business,
properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its
investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information
which the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or
expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect
to the investment and to verify the accuracy and completeness of the
information contained in the Disclosure Materials. Neither such inquiries nor
any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Purchaser or its
representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser's
right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Disclosure
Materials and the Company's representations and warranties contained in the
Transaction Documents.
(g) General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not
purchasing the Securities as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement,
article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in
any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio
or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general
advertisement.
(h) Reliance. Such Purchaser understands and acknowledges
that (i) the Securities are being offered and sold to it without registration
under the Securities Act in a private placement that is exempt from the
registration provisions of the Securities Act and (ii) the availability of
such exemption, depends in part on, and the Company will rely upon the
accuracy and truthfulness of, the foregoing representations and such Purchaser
hereby consents to such reliance.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or
has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in this Section
2.2 and Section 4(a)(ii) of the Debentures.
ARTICLE III
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
3.1 Transfer Restrictions. (a) Securities may only be disposed of
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, to
the Company or pursuant to an available exemption from or in a transaction not
subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in
compliance with any applicable federal and state securities laws. In
connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective
registration statement or to the Company, except as otherwise set forth
herein, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the
Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and
substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to
the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such
transferred Securities under the Securities Act. Any such transferee shall
agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the
rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement.
(b) The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is
required by this Section 3.1(b), of the following legend on the Securities:
NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE
SECURITIES ARE [CONVERTIBLE] OR [EXERCISABLE] HAVE BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE
IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED
OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION
NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN
ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL
OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH
SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.
Underlying Shares shall contain the legend set forth above nor
any other legend if the conversion of Debentures or the exercise of the
Warrants, as the case may be, occurs at any time while an Underlying Shares
Registration Statement is effective under the Securities Act or the holder is
relying on Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act ("Rule 144") in
connection with the resale of such Underlying Shares, or in the event there is
not an effective Underlying Shares Registration Statement, and Rule 144 is not
then available for resale of the Underlying Shares, at such time as such
legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act
(including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of
the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue the legal
opinion included in the Transfer Agent Instructions to the Company's transfer
agent on the date that an Underlying Shares Registration Statement is declared
effective by the Commission (such date, the "Effective Date"). The Company
agrees that following the Effective Date, it will, no later than three (3)
Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company of a
certificate or certificates representing such Underlying Shares issued with a
restrictive legend, deliver to such Purchaser certificates representing such
Shares which shall be free from all restrictive and other legends. The
Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any
transfer agent of the Company which enlarge the restrictions of transfer set
forth in this Section.
3.2 Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the
issuance of Underlying Shares upon the conversion of the Debentures or
exercise of the Warrants will result in dilution of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market
conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue
Underlying Shares upon conversion of the Debentures or exercise of the
Warrants is unconditional and absolute, subject to the limitations set forth
in the Debentures and Warrants, regardless of the effect of any such
dilution.
3.3 Furnishing of Information. As long as the Purchasers own
Securities, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in
respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports
required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. As long as the Purchasers own
Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such
sections, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and make publicly
available in accordance with Rule 144(c) promulgated under the Securities Act
such information as is required for the Purchasers to sell the Securities
under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company further
covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities
may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable
such Person to sell Underlying Shares without registration under the
Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act, including causing its attorneys to
render and deliver any legal opinion required in order to permit a Purchaser
to receive Underlying Shares free of all restrictive legends and to
subsequently sell Underlying Shares under Rule 144 upon receipt of a notice of
an intention to sell or other form of notice having a similar effect. Upon
the request of any such Person, the Company shall deliver to such Person a
written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has
complied with such requirements.
3.4 Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its best
efforts to ensure that, no Affiliate of the Company shall, sell, offer for
sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any
security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be
integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would
require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the
Securities to the Purchasers.
3.5 Increase in Authorized Shares. If on any date the Company
would be, if a notice of conversion or exercise (as the case may be) were to
be delivered on such date, precluded from issuing the sum of (i) 200% of the
number of Underlying Shares as would then be issuable upon a conversion in
full of the Debentures and (ii) the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon
exercise in full of the Warrants (the "Current Required Minimum"), in either
case, due to the unavailability of a sufficient number of authorized but
unissued or reserved shares of Common Stock, then the Board of Directors of
the Company shall promptly prepare and mail to the stockholders of the Company
proxy materials requesting authorization to amend the Company's certificate or
articles of incorporation to increase the number of shares of Common Stock
which the Company is authorized to issue to at least such number of shares as
reasonably requested by the Purchasers in order to provide for such number of
authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock to enable the Company to comply
with its issuance, conversion, exercise and reservation of shares obligations
as set forth in this Agreement, the Debentures and the Warrants (the sum of
(x) the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding plus all shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all outstanding options, warrants and
convertible instruments other than the Warrants and (y) the Current Required
Minimum, shall be a reasonable number). In connection therewith, the Board of
Directors shall (a) adopt proper resolutions authorizing such increase, (b)
recommend to and otherwise use its best efforts to promptly and duly obtain
stockholder approval to carry out such resolutions (and hold a special meeting
of the stockholders no later than the earlier to occur of the 60th day after
delivery of the proxy materials relating to such meeting and the 90th day
after request by a holder of Securities to issue the number of Underlying
Shares in accordance with the terms hereof) and (c) within five (5) Business
Days of obtaining such stockholder authorization, file an appropriate
amendment to the Company's certificate or articles of incorporation to
evidence such increase.

shall (i) in the time and manner required by any national securities exchange,
market, trading or quotation facility on which the Common Stock is then
traded, prepare and file with such national securities exchange, market,
trading or quotation facility on which the Common Stock is then traded an
additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of Common
Stock which is not less than the Initial Minimum, (ii) take all steps
necessary to cause such shares of Common Stock to be approved for listing on
any such national securities exchange, market or trading or quotation facility
on which the Common Stock is then listed as soon as possible thereafter, and
(iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such listing, and the Company
shall maintain the listing of its Common Stock thereon.
(b) The Company shall maintain a reserve of shares of
Common Stock for issuance upon conversion of the Debentures in full and upon
exercise in full of the Warrants in accordance with this Agreement, in such
amount as may be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the
Transaction Documents, which reserve shall equal no less than the then Current
Required Minimum.
3.7 Conversion and Exercise Procedures. The Transfer Agent
Instructions, the Conversion Notice (as defined in the Debentures) and the
Form of Election to Purchase (as defined in the Warrants) sets forth the
totality of the procedures with respect to the conversion of the Debentures or
exercise of the Warrants, including the form of legal opinion, if necessary,
that shall be rendered to the Company's transfer agent and such other
information and instructions as may be reasonably necessary to enable the
Purchasers to convert their Debentures or exercise their Warrants.

other disposition) any Common Stock or any equity or equity equivalent
securities (including any equity, debt or other instrument that is at any
time over the life thereof convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock),
and the Company will cause its Subsidiaries not to offer, sell or issue during
such period any of such Subsidiary's securities which provide the holder
thereof the right to receive any Common Stock (collectively, "Common Stock
Equivalents"), unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company and the
Purchasers.
(b) From the date of this Agreement through the 270th
Trading Day following the Effective Date, the Company shall not, directly or
indirectly, offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of
(or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other
disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (collectively, a
"Subsequent Placement") unless (A) the Company delivers to each of the
Purchasers a written notice (the "Subsequent Placement Notice") of its
intention to effect such Subsequent Placement, which Subsequent Placement
Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such
Subsequent Placement, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder,
the Person with whom such Subsequent Placement shall be effected, and attached

such Purchaser shall not have notified the Company by 6:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on the tenth Trading Day after its receipt of the Subsequent Placement
Notice of its willingness to provide (or to cause its sole designee to
provide), subject to completion of mutually acceptable documentation,

Placement Notice. If the Purchasers shall fail to notify the Company of their
intention to enter into such negotiations within such time period, the Company
may effect the Subsequent Placement substantially upon the terms and to the
Persons (or Affiliates of such Persons) set forth in the Subsequent Placement
Notice; provided, that the Company shall provide the Purchasers with a second
Subsequent Placement Notice, and the Purchasers shall again have the right of
first refusal set forth above in this paragraph (a), if the Subsequent
Placement subject to the initial Subsequent Placement Notice shall not have
been consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent
Placement Notice within 30 Trading Days after the date of the initial
Subsequent Placement Notice with the Person (or an Affiliate of such Person)
identified in the Subsequent Placement Notice. If the Purchasers shall
indicate a willingness to provide financing in excess of the amount set forth
in the Subsequent Placement Notice, then each Purchaser shall be entitled to
provide financing pursuant to such Subsequent Placement Notice up to an amount
equal to such Purchaser's pro-rata portion of the aggregate number of Shares
purchased by such Purchaser under this Agreement, but the Company shall not be
required to accept financing from the Purchasers in an amount in excess of the
amount set forth in the Subsequent Placement Notice. In furtherance of this
restriction, other than to the Purchasers or Affiliates thereof, prior to the
180th Trading Day following the Effective Date, the Company may not enter into
any equity line or similar financing arrangement or issue or agree to issue
any shares of its Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents pursuant to any
equity line or similar type of financing, unless otherwise agreed to in
writing by the Company and the Purchasers.
