Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its

the Bulletin Board which would impair the exemptions relied upon in this
Offering or the Company’s ability to timely comply with its obligations

action or steps that would cause the offer or issuance of the Securities to be
integrated with other offerings which would impair the exemptions relied upon in
this Offering or the Company’s ability to timely comply with its obligations

transactions contemplated hereby that will be integrated with the offer or
issuance of the Securities, which would impair the exemptions relied upon in

shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Company's executive officers and directors understand the nature of the
Securities being sold hereby and recognize that the issuance of the Securities

the Company’s equity or rights to receive equity of the Company. The
board of directors of the Company has concluded, in its good faith business
judgment that the issuance of the Securities is in the best interests of the
Company. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to
issue the Shares upon conversion of the Notes and Preferred Stock and the

Subscriber from the Company's legal counsel opining on the availability of an
exemption from registration under the 1933 Act as it relates to the offer and
issuance of the Securities and other matters reasonably requested by
Subscribers. A form of the legal opinion is annexed hereto as Exhibit E. The
Company will provide, at the Company's expense, such other legal opinions in the
future as are reasonably necessary for the issuance and resale of the Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and Preferred Stock and exercise of
the Warrants pursuant to an effective registration statement, Rule 144 under the
1933 Act or an exemption from registration.
7.1. Conversion of Note and
Preferred Stock.
(a) Upon the
conversion of a Note, interest, any sum due to the Subscriber under the
Transaction Documents, including Liquidated Damages, Preferred Stock, or part
thereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary
action, including obtaining and delivering, an opinion of counsel to assure that
the Company's transfer agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of
Subscriber (or its permitted nominee) or such other persons as designated by
Subscriber and in such denominations to be specified at conversion representing
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
conversion. The Company warrants that no instructions other than
these instructions have been or will be given to the transfer agent of the
Company's Common Stock and that the certificates representing such shares shall
contain no legend other than the usual 1933 Act restriction from transfer
legend. If and when the Subscriber sells the Shares, assuming (i) a
registration statement registering such shares under the 1933 Act is effective
and the prospectus, as supplemented or amended, contained therein is current and
(ii) the Subscriber or its agent confirms in writing to the transfer agent that
the Subscriber has complied with the prospectus delivery requirements, the
Company will reissue the Shares without restrictive legend and the Shares will
be free-trading, and freely transferable. In the event that the
Shares are sold in a manner that complies with an exemption from registration,
the Company will promptly instruct its counsel to issue to the transfer agent an
opinion permitting removal of the legend indefinitely if pursuant to Rule
144(b)(1)(i) of the 1933 Act, or for 90 days, if pursuant to other provision
of Rule 144 of the 1933 Act.
(b) Subscriber
will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to convert the Note,
interest, Preferred Stock, or part thereof by telecopying, or otherwise
delivering a completed Notice of Conversion (a form of which is annexed as Exhibit A to the Note and the
Certificate of Designation) to the Company via confirmed telecopier transmission
or otherwise pursuant to Section 13(a) of this Agreement. The
Subscriber will not be required to surrender the Note or stock certificate
representing the Preferred Stock until the Note or stock certificate
representing the Preferred Stock has been fully converted or
satisfied. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is telecopied to
the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof by 6 PM (or if received by
the Company after 6 PM then the next business day) shall be deemed a “Conversion
Date.” The Company will itself or cause the Company’s transfer
agent to transmit the Company's Common Stock certificates representing the
Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note or the Preferred Stock to the
Subscriber via express courier for receipt by such Subscriber within three (3)
business days after receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion (such
third day being the "Delivery
Date"). In the event the Shares are electronically
transferable, then delivery of the Shares must be made by
electronic transfer provided request for such electronic transfer has been made
by the Subscriber. A Note representing the balance of the Note
or stock certificate representing the balance of the Preferred Stock not so
converted will be provided by the Company to the Subscriber if requested by
Subscriber, provided the Subscriber delivers the original Note or stock
certificate to the Company. In the event that a Subscriber elects not to
surrender a Note or stock certificate representing the Preferred Stock for
reissuance upon partial payment or conversion of a Note or Preferred Stock, the
Subscriber hereby indemnifies the Company against any and all loss or damage
attributable to a third-party claim in an amount in excess of the actual amount
then due under the Note or Shares of Preferred Stock actually held.
10
(c) The Company
understands that a delay in the delivery of the Shares in the form required
pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, or the Mandatory Redemption Amount described in
Section 7.2 hereof, respectively later than the Delivery Date or the Mandatory
Redemption Payment Date (as hereinafter defined) could result in economic loss
to the Subscriber. As compensation to the Subscriber for such loss,
the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the
Subscriber for late issuance of Shares in the form required pursuant to Section
7.1 hereof upon Conversion of the Note in the amount of $100 per business day
after the Delivery Date for each $10,000 of Note principal amount or stated
value of Preferred Stock (and proportionately for other amounts) being converted
of the corresponding Shares which are not timely delivered. The
Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately
available funds upon demand. Furthermore, in addition to any other
remedies which may be available to the Subscriber, in the event that the Company
fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Shares within seven (7) business
days after the Delivery Date or make payment within seven (7) business days
after the Mandatory Redemption Payment Date (as defined in Section 7.2 below),
the Subscriber will be entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Notice of
Conversion or rescind all or part of the notice of Mandatory Redemption by
delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and the
Subscriber shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately
prior to the delivery of such notice, except that the liquidated damages
described above shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or
rescission is given to the Company.
(d) Upon the
increase by the Company of its authorized number of shares of Common Stock no
later than March 31, 2009, the Company agrees and acknowledges that despite the
pendency of a not yet effective registration statement which includes for
registration the Securities, the Subscriber is permitted to and the Company will
issue to the Subscriber Shares upon conversion of the Note or Preferred Stock
and Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants. Such Shares will,
if required by law, bear the legends described in Section 4 above and if the
requirements of Rule 144 under the 1933 Act are satisfied, be resalable
thereunder.
7.2. Mandatory Redemption at
Subscriber’s Election. In the event (i) the Company is
prohibited from issuing Shares, (ii) upon the occurrence of any other Event of
Default (as defined in the Note or in this Agreement), that continues for more
than twenty (20) business days, (iii) a Change in Control (as defined below), or
(iv) of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, then at the
Subscriber's election, the Company must pay to the Subscriber ten (10) business
days after request by the Subscriber (“Calculation Period”), a sum of
money determined by multiplying up to the outstanding principal amount of the
Note or stated value of Preferred Stock designated by the Subscriber by 120%
("Mandatory Redemption
Payment"). The Mandatory Redemption Payment must be received by the
Subscriber on the same date as the Shares otherwise deliverable or within ten
(10) business days after request, whichever is sooner ("Mandatory Redemption Payment
Date"). Upon receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, the
corresponding Note principal and interest or stated value of Preferred Stock
will be deemed paid and no longer outstanding. Liquidated damages
calculated pursuant to Section 7.1(c) hereof, that have been paid or accrued for
the ten day period prior to the actual receipt of the Mandatory Redemption
Payment by the Subscriber shall be credited against the Mandatory Redemption
Payment. For purposes of this Section 7.2, “Change in Control” shall mean
(i) the Company no longer having a class of shares publicly traded or listed on
a Principal Market, (ii) the Company becoming a Subsidiary of another entity
(other than a corporation formed by the Company for purposes of reincorporation
in another U.S. jurisdiction) and (iii) the sale, lease or transfer of
substantially all the assets of the Company or Subsidiaries.
11
7.3. Maximum
Conversion. The Subscriber shall not be entitled to convert on
a Conversion Date that amount of the Note or Preferred Stock in connection with
that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i)
the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Subscriber and
its Affiliates on a Conversion Date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note or Preferred Stock with respect
to which the determination of this provision is being made on a Conversion Date,
which would result in beneficial ownership by the Subscriber and its Affiliates
of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on
such Conversion Date. For the purposes of the provision to the
immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. Subject to the foregoing,
the Subscriber shall not be limited to aggregate conversions of only 4.99% and
aggregate conversions by the Subscriber may exceed 4.99%. The
Subscriber may increase the permitted beneficial ownership amount up to 9.99%
upon and effective after 61 days’ prior written notice to the
Company. The Subscriber may allocate which of the equity of the
Company deemed beneficially owned by the Subscriber shall be included in the
4.99% amount described above and which shall be allocated to the excess above
4.99%.
7.4. Injunction Posting of
Bond. In the event a Subscriber shall elect to convert the
Preferred Stock, a Note or part thereof, the Company may not refuse conversion
or exercise based on any claim that such Subscriber or any one associated or
affiliated with such Subscriber has been engaged in any violation of law, or for
any other reason, unless, an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and
or enjoining conversion of all or part of such Note shall have been sought and
obtained by the Company or at the Company’s request or with the Company’s
assistance, and the Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of such
Subscriber in the amount of 120% of the outstanding principal and interest of
the Note, outstanding stated value of the Preferred Stock or aggregate purchase
price of the Shares which are sought to be subject to the injunction, which bond
shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the
dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Subscriber to the
extent Subscriber obtains judgment in Subscriber’s favor.
7.5. Buy-In. In
addition to any other rights available to the Subscriber, if the Company fails
to deliver to the Subscriber such shares issuable upon conversion of a Note or
the Preferred Stock by the Delivery Date and if after seven (7) business days
after the Delivery Date the Subscriber or a broker on the Subscriber’s behalf
purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to
deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Subscriber of the Common Stock which
the Subscriber was entitled to receive upon such conversion (a "Buy-In"), then the Company
shall pay in cash to the Subscriber (in addition to any remedies available to or
elected by the Subscriber) the amount by which (A) the Subscriber's total
purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of
Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate principal and/or interest
amount of the Note, stated value of the Preferred Stock for which such
conversion was not timely honored together with interest thereon at a rate of
15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is
paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty. For example, if the Subscriber purchases shares of Common
Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to
an attempted conversion of $10,000 of note principal and/or interest or the
Preferred Stock, the Company shall be required to pay the Subscriber $1,000 plus
interest. The Subscriber shall provide the Company written notice and evidence
indicating the amounts payable to the Subscriber in respect of the
Buy-In.
7.6 Adjustments. The
Conversion Price, Warrant exercise price and amount of Shares issuable upon
conversion of the Notes or the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants
shall be equitably adjusted and as otherwise described in this Agreement, the
Notes, Certificate of Designation and Warrants.
12
7.7. Redemption. The
Notes, Preferred Stock and Warrants shall not be redeemable or callable by the
Company except as described in the Notes, Certificate of Designation, Warrants
and Subscription Agreement.
8.
Legal
Fees. The Company shall pay to Grushko & Xxxxxxx, P.C., a
cash fee of $18,000 (“Legal
Fees”) as reimbursement for services rendered to the Subscribers in
connection with this Agreement and the purchase and sale of the Notes, Preferred
Stock and Warrants (the “Offering”). Reimbursement
for estimated UCC searches and filing fees (less any amounts paid prior to a
Closing Date), and estimated printing and shipping costs for the closing
statements to be delivered to Subscribers, will be payable on the Closing Date
out of funds held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.

to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under said acts
until the End Date. Until the End Date, the Company will continue the

constitute material, nonpublic information relating to
the Company or Subsidiaries, the Company shall within one
business day after any such delivery publicly disclose such
material, nonpublic information on a
Report on Form 8-K or otherwise. In the event that

to keep such information in confidence. The Company understands and
confirms that each Subscriber shall be relying on the foregoing representations
in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

Closing Date, or (ii) until the Shares and Warrant Shares have been resold or
transferred by the Subscribers pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144
without regard to volume limitation, the Exclusion Period will be tolled or
reinstated, as the case may be, during the pendency of an Event of Default as
defined in the Note or Certificate of Designation, and/or during the pendency of

an agreed price or price formula, and “Variable Priced Equity Linked
Instruments” shall include: (A) any debt or equity securities which are
convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or carry the right to receive
additional shares of Common Stock either (1) at any conversion, exercise or
exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading
prices of or quotations for Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance
of such debt or equity security, or (2) with a fixed conversion, exercise or
exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date at any time
after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security due to a change in
the market price of the Company’s Common Stock since date of initial issuance,
and (B) any amortizing convertible security which amortizes prior to its
maturity date, where the Company is required or has the option to (or the
investor in such transaction has the option to require the Company to) make such
amortization payments in shares of Common Stock which are valued at a price that
is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for Common
Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security
(whether or not such payments in stock are subject to certain equity
conditions). The only officer, director, employee and consultant
stock option or stock incentive plan currently in effect or contemplated by the
Company is described on Schedule 5(d).
16

for Permitted Liens and as otherwise provided for herein, until the Notes are
fully satisfied or converted, the Company shall not grant nor allow any security
interest to be taken in the assets of the Company or any Subsidiary; nor issue
any debt, equity or other instrument which would give the holder thereof
directly or indirectly, a right in any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary,
equal or superior to any right of the holder of a Note in or to such
assets.
(s) Notices. For
so long as the Subscribers hold any Securities, the Company will maintain as
United States address and United States fax number for notices purposes under

is based upon (i) any material misrepresentation by Company or breach of any
warranty by Company in this Agreement or in any Exhibits or Schedules attached
hereto, or other agreement delivered pursuant hereto; or (ii) after any

Company or any such person which results, arises out of or is based upon (i) any
material misrepresentation by such Subscriber in this Agreement or in any
Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto, or other agreement delivered pursuant
hereto; or (ii) after any applicable notice and/or cure periods, any breach or
default in performance by such Subscriber of any covenant or undertaking to be
performed by such Subscriber hereunder, or any other agreement entered into by
the Company and Subscribers, relating hereto.
17
(c) In no event
shall the liability of any Subscriber or permitted successor hereunder or under

by such Subscriber upon the sale of Securities.
(d) The
procedures set forth in Section 11.1 shall apply to the indemnification set
forth in Sections 10(a) and 10(b) above.
11.1. Indemnification and
Contribution.
(a) In the
event of a registration of any Securities under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section
11, the Company will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold
harmless the Seller, each officer of the Seller, each director of the Seller,
each underwriter of such Securities thereunder and each other person, if any,
who controls such Seller or underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act,
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which
the Seller, or such underwriter or controlling person may become subject under
the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
any registration statement under which such Securities was registered under the
1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or
are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in light of the circumstances when made, and will subject to the
provisions of Section 11.1(c) reimburse the Seller, each such underwriter and
each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
liable to the Seller to the extent that any such damages arise out of or are
based upon an untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus if
(i) the Seller failed to send or deliver a copy of the final prospectus
delivered by the Company to the Seller with or prior to the delivery of written
confirmation of the sale by the Seller to the person asserting the claim from
which such damages arise, (ii) the final prospectus would have corrected such
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or such omission or alleged
omission, or (iii) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability
arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished
by any such Seller, or any such controlling person in writing specifically for
use in such registration statement or prospectus.
(b) In the
event of a registration of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act pursuant to
Section 11, each Seller severally but not jointly will, to the extent permitted
by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act, each officer of the
Company who signs the registration statement, each director of the Company, each
underwriter and each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of
the 1933 Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which the Company or such officer, director, underwriter or
controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar
as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of any material fact contained in the registration statement under which such
Securities were registered under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment
or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the
Company and each such officer, director, underwriter and controlling person for
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action,
provided, however, that the Seller will be liable hereunder in any such case if
and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out
of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information
pertaining to such Seller, as such, furnished in writing to the Company by such
Seller specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus, and
provided, further, however, that the liability of the Seller hereunder shall be
limited to the net proceeds actually received by the Seller from the sale of
Securities covered by such registration statement.
18
(c) Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of
any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in
writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not
relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party other
than under this Section 11.1(c) and shall only relieve it from any liability
which it may have to such indemnified party under this Section 11.1(c), except
and only if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such
omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party
and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it
shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel
satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the
defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified
party under this Section 11.1(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected,
provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall
have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it
which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying
party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to
conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified parties,
as a group, shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume
such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action,
with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other
expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying
party as incurred.
(d) In order to
provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint liability
under the 1933 Act in any case in which either (i) a Seller, or any controlling
person of a Seller, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section
11.1 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree
by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the
denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be
enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 11.1 provides
for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the 1933 Act may be
required on the part of the Seller or controlling person of the Seller in
circumstances for which indemnification is not provided under this Section 11.1;
then, and in each such case, the Company and the Seller will contribute to the
aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject
(after contribution from others) in such proportion so that the Seller is
responsible only for the portion represented by the percentage that the public
offering price of its securities offered by the registration statement bears to
the public offering price of all securities offered by such registration
statement, provided, however, that, in any such case, (y) the Seller will not be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all
such securities sold by it pursuant to such registration statement; and (z) no
person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) will be entitled to contribution from any person
or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
11.2. Delivery of Unlegended
Shares.
(a) Within
three (3) business days (such third business day being the “Unlegended Shares Delivery
Date”) after the business day on which the Company has received (i) a
notice that Shares or Warrant Shares or any other Common Stock held by a
Subscriber have been sold pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144 under
the 1933 Act, (ii) a representation that the prospectus delivery requirements,
or the requirements of Rule 144, as applicable and if required, have been
satisfied, and (iii) the original share certificates representing the shares of
Common Stock that have been sold, and (iv) in the case of sales under Rule 144,
customary representation letters of the Subscriber and/or Subscriber’s broker
regarding compliance with the requirements of Rule 144, the Company at its
expense, (y) shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the
Company to deliver to its transfer agent (with copies to Subscriber) an
appropriate instruction and opinion of such counsel, directing the delivery of
shares of Common Stock without any legends including the legend set forth in
Section 4(i) above (the “Unlegended Shares”); and (z)
cause the transmission of the certificates representing the Unlegended Shares
together with a legended certificate representing the balance of the submitted
Shares certificate, if any, to the Subscriber at the address specified in the
notice of sale, via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise on or
before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.
19
(b) In lieu of
delivering physical certificates representing the Unlegended Shares, if the
Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”) Fast Automated
Securities Transfer program, upon request of a Subscriber, so long as the
certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Subscriber is not obligated
to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company
shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares
by crediting the account of Subscriber’s prime Broker with DTC through its
Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system. Such delivery must be
made on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.
(c) The Company
understands that a delay in the delivery of the Unlegended Shares pursuant to
Section 11 hereof later than two business days after the Unlegended Shares
Delivery Date could result in economic loss to a Subscriber. As
compensation to a Subscriber for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late
payment fees (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Subscriber for
late delivery of Unlegended Shares in the amount of $100 per business day after
the Delivery Date for each $10,000 of purchase price of the Unlegended Shares
subject to the delivery default. If during any 360 day period, the
Company fails to deliver Unlegended Shares as required by this Section 11.2 for
an aggregate of thirty (30) days, then each Subscriber or assignee holding
Securities subject to such default may, at its option, require the Company to
redeem all or any portion of the Shares and Warrant Shares subject to such
default at a price per share equal to 120% of the Purchase Price of such Common
Stock and Warrant Shares (“Unlegended Redemption
Amount”). The amount of the aforedescribed liquidated damages
that have accrued or been paid for the twenty day period prior to the receipt by
the Subscriber of the Unlegended Redemption Amount shall be credited against the
Unlegended Redemption Amount. The Company shall pay any payments
incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon
demand.
(d) In addition
to any other rights available to a Subscriber, if the Company fails to deliver
to a Subscriber Unlegended Shares as required pursuant to this Agreement, within
seven (7) business days after the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date and the
Subscriber or a broker on the Subscriber’s behalf, purchases (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) shares of common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a
sale by such Subscriber of the shares of Common Stock which the Subscriber was
entitled to receive from the Company (a "Buy-In"), then the Company
shall pay in cash to the Subscriber (in addition to any remedies available to or
elected by the Subscriber) the amount by which (A) the Subscriber's total
purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of
common stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate purchase price of the shares
of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended
Shares together
with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and
any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For example, if a
Subscriber purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of
$11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to $10,000 of purchase price of shares of
Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares, the
Company shall be required to pay the Subscriber $1,000, plus interest. The
Subscriber shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts
payable to the Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In.
20
(e) In the
event a Subscriber shall request delivery of Unlegended Shares as described in
Section 11.2 and the Company is required to deliver such Unlegended Shares
pursuant to Section 11.2, the Company may not refuse to deliver Unlegended
Shares based on any claim that such Subscriber or any one associated or
affiliated with such Subscriber has been engaged in any violation of law, or for
any other reason, unless, an injunction or temporary restraining order from a
court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining delivery of such Unlegended
Shares or exercise of all or part of said Warrant shall have been sought and
obtained and the Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of such
Subscriber in the amount of 120% of the amount of the aggregate purchase price
of the Common Stock and Warrant Shares which are subject to the injunction or
temporary restraining order, which bond shall remain in effect until the
completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which
shall be payable to such Subscriber to the extent Subscriber obtains judgment in
Subscriber’s favor.
11.3. In
the event commencing one hundred and eighty-one (181) days after the issue date
of the Notes, Preferred Stock and Warrants, a Subscriber is not permitted to
resell any of the Shares or Warrant Shares without any restrictive
legend, and such sales are not permitted as a result of the unavailability
to Subscriber of Rule 144(b) under the 1933 Act or any successor rule (a “144 Default”), and the sole
reason for the 144 Default is that the Company is not current in its SEC
periodic filings, and Subscriber is not an Affiliate or “control person” of
the Company, then the Company shall pay such Subscriber as liquidated damages
and not as a penalty an amount equal to two percent (2%) for each thirty (30)
days (or such lesser pro-rata amount for any period less than thirty (30) days)
thereafter of the purchase price of the Shares and Warrant Shares owned by such
Subscriber during the pendency of the 144 Default. Liquidated damages
shall not be payable pursuant to this Section 11.3 in connection with Shares and
Warrant Shares for such times as such Shares and Warrant Shares may be sold by
the holder thereof without restriction pursuant to Section 144(b)(1) of the 1933
Act.
12. Additional
Agreements.
(a) Right of First
Refusal. Until one year after the Closing Date, the
Subscribers shall be given not less than ten (10) business days prior written
notice of any proposed sale by the Company of its common stock or other
securities or debt obligations, except in connection with (i) full or partial
consideration in connection with a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation
or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of corporation or
other entity which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time
granted registration rights, (ii) the Company’s
issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other
partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the primary
purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt
are not at any time granted registration rights,
(iii) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of
options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to director stock option plans and
employee stock purchase plans described on Schedule 12(a) hereto at prices equal to or higher than the closing
price of the Common Stock on the issue date of any of the foregoing, except as
provided in Schedule 12(a)(iv) as a result
of the exercise of Warrants or conversion of Notes, or Preferred Stock which are
granted or issued pursuant to this Agreement or that have been issued prior to
the Closing Date on the same terms and conditions as disclosed in a Report filed
not less than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date without amendment thereto,
(v) the payment of any interest on the Notes and Liquidated Damages pursuant to
the Transaction Documents and (vi) the Company’s issuance of up to 100,000
shares of the Company’s Common Stock (or securities convertible into shares of
common stock) to service providers as disclosed on Schedule 12(a) herein (collectively the foregoing are “Excepted
Issuances”). The Subscribers who exercise their rights
pursuant to this Section 12(a) shall have the right during the ten (10) business
days following receipt of the notice to purchase such offered common stock, debt
or other securities in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the
notice of sale in the same proportion to each other as their purchase of Notes
in the Offering. In the event such terms and conditions are modified
during the notice period, the Subscribers shall be given prompt notice of such
modification and shall have the right during the ten (10) business days
following the notice of modification to exercise such right.
21
(b) Favored Nations
Provision. Other than in connection with the Excepted
Issuances, if at any time the Notes, Preferred Stock or Warrants are
outstanding, the Company shall offer, issue or agree to issue (the “Lower Price
Issuance”) any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for
shares of Common Stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding)
to any person or entity at a price per share or conversion or exercise price per
share which shall be less than the Conversion Price in respect of the Shares ,
or if less than the Warrant exercise price in respect of the Warrant Shares,
without the consent of Subscribers holding 66.67% of the outstanding principal
amount of Notes, then the Company shall issue, for each such occasion,
additional shares of Common Stock to each Subscriber respecting those Notes,
Preferred Stock, Warrants and Shares that remain outstanding at the time of the
Lower Price Issuance so that the average per share purchase price of the shares
of Common Stock issued to the Subscriber (of only the Common Stock, Shares or
Warrant Shares still owned by the Subscriber) is equal to such other lower price
per share and the Conversion Price and Warrant exercise price shall
automatically be reduced to such other lower price. The average
Purchase Price of the Shares and average exercise price in relation to the
Warrant Shares shall be calculated separately for the Shares and Warrant
Shares. The foregoing calculation and issuance shall be made
separately for Shares received upon conversion of the Notes or Preferred Stock
and separately for Warrant Shares. The delivery to the Subscriber of
the additional shares of Common Stock shall be not later than the closing date
of the transaction giving rise to the requirement to issue additional shares of
Common Stock. For purposes of the issuance and adjustment described
in this paragraph, the issuance of any security of the Company carrying the
right to convert such security into shares of Common Stock or of any warrant,
right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in the issuance of the
additional shares of Common Stock upon the sooner of the agreement to or actual
issuance of such convertible security, warrant, right or option and again at any
time upon any subsequent issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of
such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the
Conversion Price or Warrant exercise price in effect upon such
issuance. The rights of the Subscriber set forth in this Section 12
are in addition to any other rights the Subscriber has pursuant to this
Agreement, the Note, Preferred Stock, any Transaction Document, and any other
agreement referred to or entered into in connection herewith or to which the
Subscriber and Company are parties. The Subscriber is also given the
right to elect to substitute any term or terms of any other offering in
connection with which the Subscriber has rights as described in Section 12(a),
for any term or terms of the Offering in connection with Securities owned by
Subscriber as of the date the notice described in Section 12(a) is required to
be given to Subscriber.
(c) Maximum Exercise of
Rights. In the event the exercise of the rights
described in Sections 12(a) and 12(b) would result in the issuance of an amount
of common stock of the Company that would exceed the maximum amount that may be
issued to a Subscriber calculated in the manner described in Section 7.3 of this
Agreement, then the issuance of such additional shares of common stock of the
Company to such Subscriber will be deferred in whole or in part until such time
as such Subscriber is able to beneficially own such common stock without
exceeding the maximum amount set forth calculated in the manner described in
Section 7.3 of this Agreement. The determination of when such common
stock may be issued shall be made by each Subscriber as to only such
Subscriber.
(d) Security
Interest. On or about December 24, 2007, subscribers to
an aggregate investment of $5,404,550 in Promissory Notes and Warrants of the
Company (“Initial Investment”) were granted a security interest in assets of the
Company. The security interest was memorialized in a Security
Agreement. The Company, subscribers to the Initial Investment and
Subscribers herein will execute such other agreements, documents and financing
statements, including but not limited to an Intercreditor and Modification
Agreement and Modification, Waiver and Consent Agreement reasonably requested by
Subscribers to affirm and modify the terms of such Security Agreement and
financing statements, in order to grant Subscribers herein a senior priority security interest
in the assets of the Company, which will be filed at the Company’s
expense with such jurisdictions, states and counties designated by the
Subscribers. The Company will also execute all such documents
reasonably necessary in the opinion of Subscribers to memorialize and further
protect the security interest described herein. The subscribers to
the Initial Investment appointed a Collateral Agent to represent them
collectively in connection with the security interest. The
appointment was pursuant to a Collateral Agent Agreement. The
subscribers to the initial investment, the Company and Subscribers herein will
execute such other agreements necessary in order to provide that the Collateral
Agent Agreement dated as of December 24, 2007 as amended is the Collateral Agent
Agreement which shall govern the rights and obligations of the Subscribers to
the Initial Investment and Subscribers herein and shall remain in full force and
effect except as modified in the Intercreditor and Modification Agreement and in
the Modification, Waiver and Consent Agreement. The Company agrees
the Notes and all sums due under the Notes and the Transaction Documents (as
defined in Section 5(c) above) are included in the term “Obligations” as defined in the
Security Agreement, as amended, and are secured by the Collateral (as defined in
the Security Agreement as amended) but such Obligations of the Offering
herein will have senior priority to the security interest granted to the Initial
Investors pursuant to the Security Agreement entered into in connection with the
Initial Investment.

concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only

executing this Agreement and other agreements referred to herein or delivered in

shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees
and costs. 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.
23
(e) Specific Enforcement,
Consent to Jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by law, the
Company and Subscriber 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 one or more
preliminary and final injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions
of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof,
this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled
by law or equity. Subject to Section 13(d) hereof, each of the
Company, Subscriber and any signator hereto in his personal capacity 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 in New York of such
court, 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.
(f) Damages. In
the event the Subscriber is entitled to receive any liquidated damages pursuant
to the Transactions, the Subscriber may elect to receive the greater of actual
damages or such liquidated damages.
(g) Independent Nature of
Subscribers. The Company acknowledges that the
obligations of each Subscriber under the Transaction Documents are several and
not joint with the obligations of any other Subscriber, and no Subscriber shall
be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
Subscriber under the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that each
Subscriber has represented that the decision of each Subscriber to purchase
Securities has been made by such Subscriber independently of any other
Subscriber and independently of any information, materials, statements or
opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties,
liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or
prospects of the Company which may have been made or given by any other
Subscriber or by any agent or employee of any other Subscriber, and no
Subscriber or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any
Subscriber (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such
information, materials, statements or opinions. The Company acknowledges
that nothing contained in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any
Subscriber pursuant hereto or thereto (including, but not limited to, the (i)
inclusion of a Subscriber in a registration statement and (ii) review by, and
consent to, such registration statement by a Subscriber) shall be deemed to
constitute the Subscribers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or
any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Subscribers are in
any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company
acknowledges that each Subscriber shall be entitled to independently protect and
enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out
of the Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any
other Subscriber to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose. The Company acknowledges that it has elected to provide all
Subscribers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of
the Company and not because Company was required or requested to do so by the
Subscribers. The Company acknowledges that such procedure with respect to
the Transaction Documents in no way creates a presumption that the Subscribers
are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to the Transaction
Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.
24
(h) Consent. As
used in the Agreement, “consent of the Subscribers” or similar language means
the consent of holders of not less than 66.67% of the total of the Shares issued
and issuable upon conversion of outstanding Notes owned by Subscribers on the
date consent is requested.
(i) Equal
Treatment. No consideration shall be offered or paid to
any person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of
the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered and paid
to all the parties to the Transaction Documents.
(j) Maximum
Payments. Nothing contained herein or in any document
referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to
establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in
excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that
the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder
exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum
shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Subscriber and thus
refunded to the Company.
(k) Calendar Days/Time
Periods. All references to “days” in the Transaction
Documents shall mean calendar days unless otherwise stated. The terms
“business days” and “trading days” shall mean days that the New York Stock
Exchange is open for trading for three or more hours. Time periods
shall be determined as if the relevant action, calculation or time period were
occurring in New York City.
(l) Maximum
Liability. In no event shall the liability of any
Subscriber or permitted successor hereunder or under any Transaction Document or
other agreement delivered in connection herewith be greater in amount than the
dollar amount of the net proceeds actually received by such Subscriber upon the
sale of the Shares.
(m) Captions: Certain
Definitions. The captions of the various sections and
paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted only for the purposes of
convenience; such captions are not a part of this Agreement and shall not be
deemed in any manner to modify, explain, enlarge or restrict any of the
provisions of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement the term
“person” shall
mean and include an individual, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a
limited liability company, a trust, an unincorporated organization and a
government or any department or agency thereof.
(n) Severability. In
the event that any term or provision of this Agreement shall be finally
determined to be superseded, invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable
