Agreement”). Management shall enter into an agreement restricting
sale of shares of Common Stock in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D

as the “Reports”). In addition, the Purchaser has
received such other information concerning the Company’s operations, financial
condition and other matters as the Purchaser has requested in writing (such
other information is collectively, the “Other Written
Information”), and considered all factors the Purchaser deems material
in deciding on the advisability of investing in the Securities. The
Company has, prior to the Closing Date hereof, granted to such Purchaser the
opportunity to ask questions of and receive satisfactory answers from
representatives of the Company, its officers, directors, employees and agents
concerning the Company and materials relating to the terms and conditions of
the
purchase and sale of the Securities hereunder, and based thereon believes it
can
make an informed decision with respect to its investment in the
Securities. Neither such information nor any other investigation
conducted by such Purchaser or its representatives shall modify, amend or
otherwise affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations
and warranties contained in this Agreement.

investments and business matters, has made investments of a speculative nature;
understands that an investment in the Securities involves a high degree of
risk,
and, with its representatives, has such knowledge and experience in financial,
tax and other business matters as to enable the Purchaser to utilize the
information made available by the Company to evaluate the merits and risks
of
and to make an informed investment decision with respect to the proposed
purchase, which represents a speculative investment. The Purchaser
has the authority and is duly and legally qualified to purchase and own the
Securities. The Purchaser is able to bear the risk of such investment

that are registered under, or are exempt from the registration requirements
of,
the Securities Act; provided, however, that, in making such
representation, such Purchaser does not agree to hold the Securities for any
minimum or specific term and reserves the right to sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with the provisions of
this
Agreement and with Federal and state securities laws applicable to such sale,
transfer or disposition.
7
(d) Compliance
with Securities Act. The Purchaser understands and agrees that
the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under
the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws, by reason of their
issuance in a transaction that does not require registration under the 1933
Act
(based in part on the accuracy of the representations and warranties of
Purchaser contained herein), and that such Securities must be held indefinitely

applicable state securities laws or is exempt from such
registration.

(k) No
Tax or Legal Advice. Such Purchaser understands that nothing in
this Agreement, any other agreement or any other materials presented to such
Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities constitutes

legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed
necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of

9
(a) Due
Incorporation. The Company is duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation and has the
requisite corporate power to own its properties and to carry on its business
as
now being conducted. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign
corporation to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where
the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such
qualification necessary, where the failure to be so qualified or in good
standing, as the case may be, would not have or reasonably be expected to result
in (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability
of
this Agreement or any other document in connection with the Offering, (ii)
a
material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business or
financial condition of the Company and each Subsidiary, taken as a whole, or

material respect on a timely basis its obligations under this Agreement (any
of
(i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse Effect”).
(b) Outstanding
Stock. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock
of the Company and each of its subsidiaries have been duly authorized and
validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. As of July 30,
2007, there were 94,512,410 shares of $0.001 par value Common Stock outstanding
and approximately 107,652,410 shares on a fully diluted basis. All
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of all Liens. All
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company were issued, sold and
delivered in full compliance with all applicable Federal and state securities
laws and the similar laws of other foreign jurisdictions as may be
applicable.
(c) Due
Execution; Enforceability. This Agreement and the Notes, Warrants
and Registration Rights Agreement and such other agreements entered into in
connection with the Offering constituting the Transaction Documents, have been
duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and are valid and binding
agreements enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws
of
general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and
to general principles of equity; and the Company has full corporate power and
authority necessary to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents and to perform its obligations hereunder and under all other
Transaction Documents entered into by the Company relating hereto.
(d) Authorization;
Consents. The Company has the requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and

exercise of the Warrants. All corporate action on the part of the
Company by its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the
authorization, execution and delivery of, and the performance by the Company
of
its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has
been taken. No further consent, approval, authorization or order of
any court, governmental agency or body or arbitrator having jurisdiction over
the Company, or any of its affiliates, the American Stock Exchange, the NASD,
Inc., Nasdaq, the OTC Bulletin Board nor the Company’s Shareholders or Board of
Directors is required for execution of or full performance under this Agreement
and the other Transaction Document (other than such approval as may be required
under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws in respect of
the
Registration Rights Agreement), other than if then listed on Nasdaq fifteen
(15)
days prior notification to Nasdaq of the Closing and the Company filing a
listing application with Nasdaq and all other agreements entered into by the
Company relating thereto, including, without limitation, the issuance and sale
of the Securities, and the performance of the Company’s obligations hereunder
and under all such other Transaction Documents. The Board of
Directors of the Company has determined, at a duly convened meeting or pursuant
to a unanimous written consent, that the issuance and sale of the Securities,
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
the
other Transaction Documents are in the best interests of the
Company.
10
(e) No
Violation or Conflict. Neither the execution and delivery of this
Agreement nor the issuance and sale of the Securities nor the performance of
the
Company’s obligations under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents
entered into by the Company relating thereto by the Company will:
(i) violate,
conflict with, result in a material breach of, or constitute a default (or

state

or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened action, suit, proceeding

a
Material Adverse Effect on the Company. The Company is not a party to

of any court or governmental authority which has had or would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

investigation by the Commission involving the Company. The Commission has
not issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any

Permits. The Company is not in violation of its Articles of
Incorporation or ByLaws. The Company is not (i) in default (including
the occurrence of any event that with the passage of time will become a default)
under or in violation of any other material agreement or instrument to which
it
is a party or by which it or any of its properties are bound or affected, which
default or violation would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company, (ii)
in default with respect to any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental
body or subject to or party to any order of any court or governmental authority
arising out of any action, suit or proceeding under any statute or other law
respecting antitrust, monopoly, restraint of trade, unfair competition or
similar matters or (iii) to its knowledge in violation of any statute, rule
or
regulation of any governmental authority which violation would have a Material
Adverse Effect on the Company. The Company possesses all material
certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,
state or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct its business,
other
than where the failure to possess such certificates, authorizations or permits,
individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice or otherwise become aware of
any
proceedings, inquiries or investigations relating to the revocation or
modification of any such certificate, authorization or permit.
(m) No
Integration or General Solicitation. Neither the Company, nor any
of its affiliates, nor to the Company’s knowledge, any person acting on its or
their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any
security or solicited any offers to buy any security that would cause the offer
of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior
offerings by the Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable
stockholder approval provisions. The Company or any of its affiliates
will not take any action or steps that would cause the offer of the Securities
to be integrated with other offerings if such integration would eliminate the
Offering Exemption. The Company will not conduct any offering other
than the transactions contemplated hereby that will be integrated with the
offer
or issuance of the Securities, unless otherwise advised by Nasdaq or the
Commission. Neither the Company nor its Affiliates, nor to the
Company’s knowledge, any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in

requirements for the continuation of such quotation and the Company satisfies
the requirements for the continued listing of its common stock on the

material to the business of the Company and each Subsidiary, taken as a whole,
and good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is
material to the business of the Company and such Subsidiary, taken as a whole,
in each case free and clear of all liens, charges, security interests,
encumbrances, rights of first refusal, or other restrictions (collectively
“Liens”) except for Liens as do not materially affect the value
of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed
to be made of such property by the Company and each Subsidiary and Liens for
the
payment of federal, state or other taxes, the payment of which is neither
delinquent nor subject to penalties. Any real property and facilities held
under lease by the Company is held by the Company under valid, subsisting and
enforceable leases with which the Company and each Subsidiary is in material
compliance.
(u) Disclosure.
All disclosure provided to the Purchasers regarding the Company, its business
and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure 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) Intellectual
Property.
(i) The
Company and/or its Subsidiaries own, free and clear of claims or rights of
any
other Person, with full right to use, sell, license, sublicense, dispose of,
and
bring actions for infringement of, or has acquired licenses or other rights
to
use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as
presently conducted (other than with respect to “off-the-shelf” software which
is generally commercially available and open source software which may be
subject to one or more “general public” licenses). All works that are
used or incorporated into the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ services, products
or services or products actively under development and which is proprietary
to
the Company or its Subsidiaries was developed by or for the Company or its
Subsidiaries by the current or former employees, consultants or independent
contractors of the Company or its Subsidiaries or purchased by the Company
or
its Subsidiaries and are owned by the Company or its Subsidiaries, free and
clear of claims and rights of any other Person.
(ii) The
business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as presently conducted and the
production, marketing, licensing, use and servicing of any products or services
of the Company and its Subsidiaries do not, to the Company’s knowledge, infringe
or conflict with any patent, trademark, copyright, or trade secret rights of
any
third parties or any other Intellectual Property of any third
parties. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received
written notice from any third party asserting that any Intellectual Property
owned or licensed by the Company or its Subsidiaries, or which the Company
or
its Subsidiaries otherwise has the right to use, is invalid or unenforceable
by
the Company or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and, to the Company’s
knowledge, there is no valid basis for any such claim (whether or not pending
or
threatened). No claim is pending or, to the Company’s knowledge,
threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries nor has the Company
or
any of its Subsidiaries received any written notice or other written claim
from
any Person asserting that any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’
present or contemplated activities infringe or may infringe in any material
respect any Intellectual Property of such Person, and the Company is not aware
of any infringement by any other Person of any material rights of the Company
or
any of its Subsidiaries under any Intellectual Property Rights.
15
(iii) All
unexpired and in force licenses or other agreements under which the Company
or
any of its Subsidiaries is granted Intellectual Property (excluding licenses
to
use “off-the-shelf” software utilized in the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’
internal operations and which is generally commercially available) are in full
force and effect and, to the Company’s knowledge, there is no material default
by any party thereto. The Company has no reason to believe that the
licensors under such licenses and other agreements do not have and did not
have
all requisite power and authority to grant the rights to the Intellectual
Property purported to be granted thereby. All unexpired licenses or
other agreements under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has granted
rights to Intellectual Property to others (including all end-user agreements)
are in full force and effect, there has been no material default by the Company
or its Subsidiaries thereunder and, to the Company’s knowledge, there is no
material default by any other party thereto.
(iv) Each
of the Company and its Subsidiaries have taken all steps required in accordance
with commercially reasonable business practice to establish and preserve its
respective ownership in its owned Intellectual Property and to keep confidential
all material technical information developed by or belonging to the Company
or
its Subsidiaries which has not been patented or copyrighted. To the
Company’s knowledge, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is making
unlawful use of any Intellectual Property of any other Person, including,
without limitation, any former employer of any past or present employees of
the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Current and former employees,
independent contractors or consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries
have
executed agreements regarding confidentiality, proprietary information and
assignment of inventions and copyrights to the Company or its Subsidiaries
(as
the case may be), and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has
received written notice that any employee, consultant or independent contractor
is in violation of any agreement or in breach of any agreement or arrangement
with former or present employers relating to proprietary information or
assignment of inventions. Without limiting the foregoing: (i) the
Company and each of its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures
to
guard against unauthorized disclosure or use of any of its Intellectual
Property; and (ii) the Company has no reason to believe that any Person
(including, without limitation, any former employee or consultant of the Company
or its Subsidiaries) has unauthorized possession of any of its Intellectual
Property, or any part thereof, or that any Person has obtained unauthorized
access to any of its Intellectual Property. The consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements
will not materially alter or impair, individually or in the aggregate, any
of
such rights of the Company or its Subsidiaries.
(x) Foreign
Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor, to the Company’s
knowledge, any director, officer, agent, employee or other person acting on
behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, since December 31, 2006, has (i) used
any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other
unlawful expenses relating to political activity, (ii) made any direct or
indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or
employee (including without limitation any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence
payment, kickback or other unlawful payment), or (iii) violated any provision
of
the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.
16
(y) Employee
Matters. There is no strike, labor dispute or union organization
activities pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened between
it
and its employees (or between any of its Subsidiaries and such Subsidiary’s
employees). No employees of the Company belong to any union or
collective bargaining unit. The Company has complied in all material
respects with all applicable federal and state equal opportunity and other
laws
related to employment.
(z) Environment. To
the Company’s knowledge, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any
current liability under any Environmental Law, nor, to the knowledge of the
Company, do any factors exist that are reasonably likely to give rise to any
such liability that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the
Company’s knowledge, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has
violated any Environmental Law applicable to it now or previously in effect,
other than such violations or infringements that, individually or in the
aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
(aa) Investment
Company Status. The Company is not, and immediately after receipt
of the Purchase Price for the Securities issued under this Agreement will not
be, an “investment company” or an entity “controlled” by an
“investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and the
Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become
subject to the Investment Company Act.
(bb) Taxes. Except
as disclosed in Schedule 6(bb), the Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i)
have prepared in good faith all tax returns required to be filed by it or is
on
a current extension and such returns are complete and accurate in all material
respects and (ii) have paid all taxes required to have been paid by it, except
for taxes which it reasonably disputes in good faith or the failure of which
to
pay has not had or would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any
liability with respect to accrued taxes in excess of the amounts that are
described as accrued in the most recent financial statements included in the
Reports. No stock transfer or other taxes (other than income taxes)
are required to be paid in connection with the issuance and sale of any of
the
Securities, other than such taxes for which the Company has established
appropriate reserves and intends to pay in full on or before the
Closing.
(cc) Solvency. (i)
The fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds the amount that will be
required to be paid on or in respect of the Company's existing Debt as such
Debt
matures or is otherwise payable; (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 taking into account the current
and projected capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company
and
projected capital availability; and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company,
together with the proceeds the Company would receive upon liquidation of its
assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of such amounts, would
be
sufficient to pay all Debt when such Debt is required to be paid. The
Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe
that it will be required to file for reorganization or liquidation under the
bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction, and has no present
intention to so file.
17
(dd) Transactions
with Interested Person. Except for Xxxxx Xxxx, no officer,
director or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or has taken
any steps to become a party to any transaction with the Company or any
Subsidiary (other than for services as employees, officers and directors),
including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the
furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal
property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer,
director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in
which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest
or
is an officer, director, trustee or partner.
(ee) No
Other Agreements. The Company has not, directly or indirectly,
entered into any agreement with or granted any right to any Purchaser relating
to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or
the Transaction Agreements except as expressly set forth therein.

of the Warrants, and resale of the Warrant Shares.
8. Reissuance

representing the Warrant Shares without the legends set forth in Sections 5(e)

the
1933 Act in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
or

agrees to cooperate with each Purchaser in connection with all resales pursuant
to Rule 144(d) and Rule 144(k) and provide legal opinions at the Company’s
expense necessary to allow such resales provided the Company and its counsel
receive reasonably requested written representations from each Purchaser and
selling broker, if any.
9. Broker’s
Compensation.
The
Company agrees to indemnify the Purchaser against and hold it harmless from
any
and all liabilities to any persons claiming brokerage commissions on account
of
services purported to have been rendered on behalf of the indemnifying party

arising out of such party’s actions. The Company represents that
other than Xxxxxxx Capital there are no other parties entitled to receive fees,
commissions, or similar payments in connection with the offering described

this Agreement.
18
10. Covenants
of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees with the
Purchasers that from the Closing Date until two (2) years from the Closing
Date
or such later date as is expressly set forth below, as follows:
(a) Stop
Orders. The Company will advise the Purchasers, promptly after it
receives notice of issuance by the Commission, any state securities commission
or any other regulatory authority of any stop order or of any order preventing
or suspending any offering of any securities of the Company, or of the
suspension of the qualification of the Common Stock of the Company for offering
or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any such
purpose.
(b) Listing;
Bluesky. If applicable, the Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to promptly secure the listing of the Warrant Shares upon each national
securities exchange, or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares
of
common stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall
use its reasonable best efforts to maintain such listing so long as any
Securities are outstanding. The Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to maintain the listing of its Common Stock on the American Stock
Exchange, Nasdaq, OTC Bulletin Board, or New York Stock Exchange (whichever
of
the foregoing is at the time the principal trading exchange or market for the
Common Stock (the “Principal Market”)), and will comply in all
material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations
under the bylaws or rules of the Principal Market, as applicable. The
Company will provide the Purchasers copies of all notices it receives notifying
the Company of the threatened and actual delisting of the Common Stock from
any
Principal Market.
(c) Market
Regulations. If required, the Company shall notify the
Commission, the Principal Market and applicable state authorities, in accordance
with their requirements, if any, of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, and shall take all other necessary action and proceedings as may
be
required and permitted by applicable law, rule and regulation, for the legal
and
valid issuance of the Securities to the Purchasers and promptly provide copies
thereof to Purchaser.
(d) Reporting
Requirements. The Company will (i) cause its Common Stock to
continue to be registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the 1934 Act, (ii)
comply in all respects with its reporting and filing obligations under the
1934
Act, (iii) comply with all reporting requirements that are applicable to an
issuer with a class of shares registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g)
of
the 1934 Act, as applicable, and (iv) comply with all requirements related
to
any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement. The
Company will not take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted
by the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act or the rules thereunder) to terminate or suspend
such registration or to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing
obligations under said acts. Until the earlier of the resale of the
Warrant Shares by each Purchaser or at least two (2) years after the Warrants
have been exercised, the Company will use its best efforts to continue the
listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Principal Market and will comply
in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under
the bylaws or rules of the Principal Market.
(e) Use
of Proceeds. The Purchase Price will be used by the Company as
disclosed in Schedule 10(e).
19
(f) Reservation
of Common Stock. The Company undertakes to reserve from its
authorized but unissued common stock, at all times that Warrants remain
outstanding, a number of common shares equal to the amount of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.
(g) Taxes. The
Company will promptly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged,
when due and payable, all lawful taxes, assessments and governmental charges
or
levies imposed upon the income, profits, property or business of the Company;
provided, however, that any such tax, assessment, charge or levy need not be
paid if the validity thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and if the Company shall have set aside on its books
adequate reserves with respect thereto, and provided, further, that the Company
will pay all such taxes, assessments, charges or levies forthwith upon the
commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien which may have attached as
security therefore.
(h) Insurance. The
Company is insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against
such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the
businesses in which the Company and each subsidiary is engaged. Neither
the Company nor any subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be
able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires
or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to
continue its business without a significant increase in
cost. The Company will keep its assets which are of an
insurable character insured by financially sound and reputable insurers against
loss or damage by fire, explosion and other risks customarily insured against
by
companies in the Company’s line of business, in amounts sufficient to prevent
the Company from becoming a co-insurer and not in any event less than 100%
of
the insurable value of the property insured; and the Company will maintain,
with
financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance against other hazards and
risks and liability to persons and property to the extent and in the manner
customary for companies in similar businesses similarly situated and to the
extent available on commercially reasonable terms.
(i) Books
and Records. The Company will keep true records and books of
account in which full, true and correct entries will be made of all dealings
or
transactions in relation to its business and affairs in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent
basis.

Authorities. The Company shall duly observe and conform in all
material respects to all valid requirements of governmental authorities relating
to the conduct of its business or to its properties or assets.
(k) Good
Standing; Stockholder Information. The Company and its Subsidiaries will
maintain its corporate existence in good standing and provide each Purchaser
with copies of all materials sent to its stockholders, in each such case at
the
same time as such materials are delivered to such stockholders.
(l) Properties;
Operations. The Company will keep its properties in good repair,
working order and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and from time
to
time make all needful and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, additions
and
improvements thereto; and the Company will at all times comply with each
provision of all leases to which it is a party or under which it occupies
property if the breach of such material provision could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company will further comply
with all agreements, documents and instruments binding on it or affecting its
business, including, without limitation, all material contracts, except for
instances of noncompliance that would not reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse
Effect. The Company shall maintain in full force and effect all
rights and licenses necessary to conduct its business and to use Intellectual
Property owned or possessed by it that is reasonably necessary to the conduct
of
its business. The Company shall refrain from taking any action or
entering into any arrangement which in any way materially and adversely affects
the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
20
(m) Confidentiality. The
Company agrees that it will not disclose publicly or privately the identity
of
the Purchasers unless expressly agreed to in writing by a Purchaser or only
to
the extent required by law; provided, however, the Purchasers consent to being
named in the 8-K filed by the Company in connection with the sale of the
Securities.
(n) Transactions
with Affiliates. Any transaction or arrangement between the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any Affiliate or employee of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries shall be effected only on an arms’ length basis and
shall be approved by the Board of Directors, including a majority of the
Company’s directors not having an interest in such
transaction. Purchasers acknowledge that the sale of 100,000,000
shares of Common Stock to Xxxxx Xxxx, or his affiliated investment entity,
for
$25,000,000 shall not be deemed a violation of this section.
11. Indemnification
of Purchasers. The Company will indemnify and hold each
Purchaser and its directors, managers, officers, shareholders, members,
partners, employees and agents (each, a “Purchaser
Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations,
claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments,
amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and
costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as
a
result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or
in
the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against a
Purchaser, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder
of
the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser, with respect to any
of
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action
is based upon a breach by such Purchaser of its representations, warranties
or
covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings
such Purchaser may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such
Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser
which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or
malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party
in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such
Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company
shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own
choosing and to control any settlement of the claim; provided, however,
that the Company will not settle any claim unless it first obtains the consent
of the relevant Purchaser Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld if such settlement (i) does not require the Purchaser Parties to make
any payment that is not indemnified under this Agreement, (ii) does not impose
any non-financial obligations on the Purchaser Parties and (iii) does not
require an acknowledgment of wrongdoing on the part of the Purchaser
Parties. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the
fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party
except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically
authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a
reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii)
in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel,
a
material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company
and
the position of such Purchaser Party. The Company will not be liable to
any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by an Purchaser
Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed (it being agreed that it shall not
be unreasonable for the Company to withhold or delay such consent if the Company
(x) has acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify such Purchaser
Party
with respect to such matter, (y) the Company has assumed and is actively and
in
good faith pursuing the defense of such matter as herein provided, and (z)
provided to such Purchaser Party reasonably acceptable evidence that the Company
is able to comply with its indemnification obligations hereunder); or (ii)
to
the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability
is
attributable to such Purchaser Party’s wrongful actions or omissions, or gross
negligence or to such Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations,

hereof and may be amended only by a writing executed by the Company and the
Purchaser or Purchasers holding a majority of the Notes, with respect to
amendments affecting the Notes, or a majority of the Warrants with respect
to
amendments affecting the Warrants, or a majority of the Warrant Shares with
respect to amendments affecting the Warrant Shares. No provision hereof may
be

enforcement of any such waiver is sought, unless such waiver is approved by
a
majority of the holders entitled to amend such provision as set forth
above. Any waver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Neither the

or
referred to in this Agreement and the documents delivered

assigned by that party without prior notice to and the written consent of the
other party; however, each Purchaser may assign its rights and obligations
hereunder, in connection with any private sale or transfer of Notes or Warrants
in accordance with the terms hereof, as long as, as a condition precedent to
such transfer, the transferee executes an acknowledgment agreeing to be bound
by
the applicable provisions of this Agreement, in which case the term
“Purchaser” shall be deemed to refer to such transferee as though such
transferee were an original signatory hereto. The terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties.
22
(c) Execution. This
Agreement may be executed by facsimile transmission, and in counterparts, each
of which will be deemed an original.
(d) Law
Governing this Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without regard
to
principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party
against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
shall be brought only in the state courts of Florida or in the federal courts
located in the state of Florida. Both parties and the individuals
executing this Agreement and other agreements on behalf of the Company agree
to
submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive trial by jury. In
the event that any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement delivered
in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute
or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent
that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with
such
statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or
unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of
any other provision of any agreement.
(e) Specific
Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company and Purchaser
acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that
any
of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their
specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed
that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent
or
cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically
the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any other
remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity. Subject
to this Section 12(e) hereof, each of the Company and Purchaser hereby waives,
and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that
it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court of the State
of
Florida, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient
forum
or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is
improper. Nothing in this Section shall affect or limit any right to
serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
23
(f) Fees
and Expenses. Each Purchaser and the Company shall pay the fees
and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any,
and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation,
preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
Transaction Documents.
(g) Survival;
Severability. The representations, warranties, covenants and
indemnities made by the parties herein and in the other Transaction Documents
shall survive the Closing notwithstanding any due diligence investigation made
by or on behalf of the party seeking to rely thereon. In the event
that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement
shall continue in full force and effect without said provision;
provided, that in such case the parties shall negotiate in good faith
to replace such provision with a new provision which is not illegal,
unenforceable or void, as long as such new provision does not materially change
the economic benefits of this Agreement to the parties.
(h) Independent
Nature of Purchaser’s Obligations and Rights. The obligations of
each Purchaser hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of
the
other Purchasers hereunder, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way
for
the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser
hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction
Agreement, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto,
shall be deemed to constitute any Purchasers as a partnership, an association,
a
joint venture or any other kind of entity, or a “group” as described in Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act, or create a presumption that any Investors are in
any
way acting in concert with respect to such obligations or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser has been represented
by its own separate counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby, shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without
limitation rights arising out of this Agreement or the other Transaction
Agreements, individually, and shall not be required to join any other Purchaser
as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Company acknowledges and agrees that the liability of a Purchaser rising
directly or indirectly, under any Transaction Agreement of any and every nature
whatsoever shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of such Purchaser, and

interest of such a Purchaser shall be personally liable for any liabilities
of
such Purchaser.

*Note:
Xxxxxxx Capital will permit the Company to escrow its fees on this transaction
and pay them once Xxxxxxx Capital raises three million dollars ($3,000,000).
All
warrants then due to Xxxxxxx Capital will also be issued at this time. Following
the initial $3,000,000 raised, fees will be paid to Xxxxxxx Capital within
5
business days of the Company’s receipt of funds. For convenience, Xxxxxxx
Capital may permit the company to issue warrants fees less frequently to
consolidate documentation. For any reason, should the total raised by
Xxxxxxx Capital be less than three million dollars ($3,000,000) and Xxxxxxx
Capital, in its sole discretion, decides that further funds can not be raised,
Xxxxxxx Capital may demand full payment of all fees due to it, and the escrow
agent shall pay such fees within 5 business days. Fees held by the escrow agent
shall accrue interest at 12% per annum. At any time prior to its receipt of
the
cash portion of its fees, Xxxxxxx Capital shall have the right to convert such
cash fees into Offering Units, effective the date the fees were
earned.
