a

and
each of the Investors set forth on the signature page hereof (the "Investors").
Recitals
WHEREAS,
the
Company has authorized the sale to the Investors of up to $12 million aggregate
purchase price of shares (the "Shares")
of the
Company's common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common
Stock");
WHEREAS, in
connection with the sale of the Shares to the Investors, the Company wishes
to
issue Investors warrants to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock in
the
form attached hereto as Exhibit
A
("Warrants");
WHEREAS,
Investors desire to purchase the Shares and Warrants on the terms and conditions
set forth herein; and
WHEREAS,
the
Company desires to issue and sell the Shares and Warrants to Investors on the
terms and conditions set forth herein (the "Offering").
AGREEMENT
NOW,
THEREFORE,
in
consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises,
representations, warranties and covenants hereinafter set forth and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.
|
AGREEMENT
TO SELL AND PURCHASE.
|
Pursuant
to the terms and conditions
set
forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 0),
the
Company agrees to sell to each Investor, and each Investor hereby agrees to
purchase from the Company (a)
the
number of Shares of Common Stock set forth immediately next to such Investor's
name on the signature page hereunto at the aggregate purchase price immediately
next to such Investor's name on the signature page hereto (the "Purchase
Price")1
and (b)
Warrants exercisable for the number of shares2
set
forth immediately next to such Investor's name on the signature page hereto
("Warrant
Shares").

|
FEES.
|
On
the
Closing Date:
(a)
The
Company shall pay to the broker-dealers listed on Exhibit
B
attached
hereto (each,
a
"Placing
Broker")
a
placement or finders fee in an amount equal to six and one-half percent (6.50%)
of the aggregate Purchase Price paid by those Investors whose names are listed
opposite such Placing Broker's name on Exhibit
B.
The
foregoing fees are referred to herein as the "Placement
Fees".
(b)
The
Company shall pay to those Investors for whom a Placing Broker is not identified
on Exhibit
B
a cash
rebate ("Investor
Rebate")
in an
amount equal to six and one-half percent (6.50%) of the Purchase Price paid
by
each such Investor, provided,
however,
that
the Investor Rebate payable to Xxxxxx X. Xxxx ("Xxxx")
on his
investment as set forth on the signature page (the "Principal
Investment")
shall
be reinvested in shares of Common Stock and Warrants on the same terms as his
Principal Investment. Xxxx shall be entitled to an Investor Rebate on any
Investor Rebate so reinvested, which Investor Rebate shall, in turn, be
reinvested in shares of Common Stock and Warrants on the same terms as the
Principal Investment, until the amount of the Investor Rebate on any reinvested
amount is less than the Purchase Price for one share of Common Stock and the
related Warrant. To the extent the foregoing calculation would result in the
issuance of any fractional shares of Common Stock or a Warrant for a fractional
share of Common Stock, such fractional shares or Warrants for fractional shares
shall be aggregated and rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares
and
Warrants and the Company shall issue the balance of any Investor Rebate which
cannot be issued in whole shares of Common Stock and Warrants to Xxxx in
cash.
(c)
The
Company shall reimburse KeyBanc Capital Markets, a Division of McDonald

its reasonable legal fees for services rendered to the KBCM in preparation
of
this Agreement and the Related Agreements, and expenses in connection with
KBCM's services in placing the Securities.
(d)
Amounts
required to be paid under this Section 2 will be paid at the Closing (as defined
in Section 0)
out of
funds held pursuant to an Escrow Agreement dated as of January 26, 2006 among
the Company, KBCM and Associated Trust Company, N.A., as escrow agent (the
"Escrow
Agreement").

nature of its activities and of its properties (both owned and leased)

a
material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, condition
(financial or otherwise), properties, operations or prospects of the Company
and
its subsidiaries, taken individually and as a whole (a "Material
Adverse Effect").

the authorization, sale, issuance and delivery of the Shares and Warrants has
been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing. The Agreement and the Related
Agreements, when executed and delivered and to the extent it is a party thereto,

with their terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting

restrict the availability of equitable or legal remedies. The sale of the Shares

recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified
in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
(e) The
Company makes and keeps books, records, and accounts, that, in reasonable
detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of
the
Company's assets. The Company maintains internal control over financial
reporting ("Financial
Reporting Controls")
designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company's principal executive
and
principal financial officers, and effected by the Company's board of directors,
management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"),

are executed in accordance with management's general or specific
authorization;
unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a

knowledge, key employees or stockholders of the Company or any members of their
immediate families, are indebted to the Company, individually or in the

into a short sale of the Common Stock "against the box" while holding
unregistered shares of the Common Stock, followed by coverage of the short
sale
with such shares after the Registration Statement has been declared effective
by
the Commission, is a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act, as set forth
in Item 65, Section 5 under Section A, of the Manual
of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations,
dated
July 1997, compiled by the Office of Chief Counsel, Division of Corporation
Finance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Investor makes any representation,
warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in Short Sales in the
securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Investor that is a
multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage
separate portions of such Investor's assets and the portfolio managers have
no
direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers
managing other portions of such Investor's assets, the covenant set forth above
shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio
manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered
by
this Agreement.

post-effective amendment, when the same has been declared
effective;
(e) furnish
to each Investor such number of copies of the Registration Statement,
Prospectuses (including Prospectus supplements) and preliminary versions of
the
Prospectus filed with the Commission ("Preliminary

in
conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents
as such Investor may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public
sale
or other disposition of all or any of the Shares and Warrant Shares by such
Investor;
(f) file
documents required of the Company for normal blue sky clearance in all states

Agreement or (ii) take any action that would subject it to general service
of
process in suits or to taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then
so
subject;
(g) if
NASD

and
(j) bear
all
fees and expenses (other than fees and expenses of each Investor's legal counsel

Delay
In Filing Or Effectiveness Of Registration Statement.
|
(a) If
the
Registration Statement is not filed by the Company with the SEC on or prior
to
the Filing Deadline Date, then for each day following the Filing Deadline Date,
until but excluding the date the Registration Statement is filed, or if the
Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC by the Effectiveness
Deadline Date, then for each day following the Effectiveness Deadline Date,
until but excluding the date the SEC declares the Registration Statement
effective, the Company shall, for each such day, pay each Investor in cash,
as
liquidated damages ("Liquidated
Damages")
and
not as a penalty, an amount equal to 0.0493% of the Purchase Price of each
Share
held by such Investor with respect to any such failure and for any such day.
Such payment shall be made no later than the fifth business day of the calendar
month next succeeding the month in which such day occurs. Such Liquidated
Damages shall constitute the Investors' exclusive remedy at law, but not in
equity, for such events.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Liquidated Damages shall be due or payable hereunder if the
Company has filed the Registration Statement with the SEC on or prior to the
Filing Deadline Date, has received a "comment letter" from the SEC and has
responded within ten (10) days following the Company's receipt of such comment
letter, provided that the Company has communicated the SEC's comments to the
Investors within ten (10) days of the Company's receipt thereof. The Investors
shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, the provisions of Section 7 hereof) with respect to any and all
non-public information communicated to them pursuant to this Section
0.
Furthermore, commencing on the date that that is one-year after the Closing
Date, no Liquidated Damages shall be due or payable with respect to that portion
of an Investor's Registrable Securities that can be immediately sold in reliance
on Rule 144.

9.3
|
Transfer
of Shares after Registration; Suspension.
|
(a) Each
Investor agrees that it will not effect any disposition of the Shares, or its
right to purchase Shares, that would constitute a sale within the meaning of
the
Securities Act except as contemplated in the Registration Statement referred
to
in Section 0
of this
Agreement or, in accordance with Section 0
of this
Agreement or as otherwise permitted by law.
(b) Except
in
the event that paragraph (c) below applies, the Company shall:
if
it
deems necessary, prepare and file from time to time with the SEC one or more
post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement or supplements to the
related Prospectus so that such Registration Statement will not contain an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities
being sold thereunder, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement
of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading (including any amendment or
supplement through incorporation by reference of any report filed under the
Exchange Act); and
as
soon
as practicable provide to each Investor copies of any documents filed pursuant
to the preceding Section 9.3(b)(i) (other than any amendment or supplement
through incorporation by reference of any report filed under the Exchange
Act).
(c) Subject
to paragraph (d) below, in the event of:
any
request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during
the Effectiveness Period for amendments or supplements to the Registration
Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information;
the
issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of
any
stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the
initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;
the
receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of
the
qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction in which they have been qualified for
sale or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; or
any
event
or circumstance which necessitates the making of any changes in the Registration
Statement or Prospectus so that, in the case of the Registration Statement,
it
will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus,
it
will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading; the Company shall promptly deliver a certificate in
writing to each Investor (the "Suspension
Notice")
to the
effect of the foregoing and, upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, such
Investor will refrain from selling any Registrable Securities pursuant to the
Registration Statement (a "Suspension")
until
such Investor receives from the Company copies of a supplemented or amended
Prospectus prepared and filed by the Company, or until it is advised in writing
by the Company that the current Prospectus may be used. In the event of any
Suspension, the Company will use its best efforts to cause the use of the
Prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as practicable after delivery
of a
Suspension Notice to the Investor, and the Company shall as soon as practicable
provide each Investor with copies of any supplemented or amended Prospectus
or,
as the case may be, advise each Investor in writing that the current Prospectus
may be used.
21
(d) In
addition, subject to compliance with applicable law, the Company shall use
its
best efforts to ensure that the Company's transfer agent expeditiously effects
all sales of Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement that the
Investor may have from time to time, including the prompt removal of any
restrictive legends.
9.4
|
Indemnification.
|
(a) In
the
event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities
Act
pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each
Investor, and its officers, directors and each other person, if any, who
controls the Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act (each, a
"Selling
Stockholder"),
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which
each Selling Stockholder may become subject under the Securities 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 Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities
Act
pursuant to this Agreement, 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 Selling Stockholder, and each such person
for
any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;
provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if
and
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 the Selling
Stockholder or any such person in writing specifically for use in any such
document or the failure of such Selling Stockholder to comply with its covenants
and agreements contained herein.
(b) In
the
event of a registration of the Registrable Securities under the Securities
Act
pursuant to this Agreement, each Investor will indemnify and hold harmless
the
Company, and its officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls
the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such
persons may become subject under the Securities 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
Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to
this
Agreement, 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 or
the
failure of such Selling Stockholder to comply with its covenants and agreements
contained herein, and will reimburse the Company and each such person for any
reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action,
provided, however, that such Selling Stockholder will be liable 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 so made in conformity with information furnished
in
writing to the Company by such Selling Stockholder specifically for use in
any
such document or the failure of such Selling Stockholder to comply with its
covenants and agreements contained herein.
22
(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 00
and
shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified
party under this Section 00
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
00
for any
legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof; if the indemnified party retains its own counsel,
then
the indemnified party shall pay all fees, costs and expenses of such counsel,
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
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 Securities Act in any case in which either (i) the Selling Stockholder
makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 0
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 0
provides
for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities
Act
may be required on the part of the Selling Stockholder in circumstances for
which indemnification is provided under this Section 0;
then,
and in each such case, the Company and the Selling Stockholder 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 Selling Stockholder
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, (A) the Selling
Stockholder will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
public offering price of all such securities offered by it pursuant to such
Registration Statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10 of the Act) will be entitled
to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.
23
(e) In
any
proceeding relating to the Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section
0,
each
party against whom contribution may be sought under this Section 0
hereby
consents to the jurisdiction of any court having jurisdiction over any other
contributing party, agrees that process issuing from such court may be served
upon him or it by any other contributing party and consents to the service
of
such process and agrees that any other contributing party may join him or it
as
an additional defendant in any such proceeding in which such other contributing
party is a party.

The

in
any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under

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
or
any of its subsidiaries that may have been made or given by any other Investor
or by any agent or employee of any other Investor, other than with respect
to
investment advisors who provide discretionary investment services to more than
one Investor, and no Investor or any of its agents or employees shall have
any
liability to any other Investor (or any other person) relating to or arising
from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained
in this Agreement, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto, shall
be
deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint
venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors
are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations
or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Investor acknowledges
that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with
making its investment hereunder and that no other Investor will be acting as
agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment hereunder.
Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights,
including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and
it
shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional
party in any proceeding for such purpose.

of any agreement.

have been surrendered and payment made for such shares as aforesaid. As soon
as
practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any
event within 7 days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the

holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in compliance with
applicable Securities Laws, a certificate or certificates for the number of
duly
and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or
Other Securities) to which such holder shall be entitled on such exercise,
plus,
in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be
entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value

number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the holder

Adjustment
for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc.
3.1.
Reorganization,
Consolidation, Merger, etc.
In case
at any time or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization,
(b) consolidate with or merge into any other person, or (c) transfer all or
substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any
plan
or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each
such
case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and
adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the holder of this
Warrant, upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after
the
consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective
date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the
Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such
consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property
(including cash) to which such holder would have been entitled upon such
consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if
such
holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all subject
to
further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 4.
3.2.
Continuation
of Terms.
Upon
any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution
following any transfer) referred to in this Section 3, this Warrant shall
continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable
to
the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable on the exercise
of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation
or
merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as
the
case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other
securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring
all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether
or
not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as
provided in Section 4.
4.
Extraordinary
Events Regarding Common Stock.
In the
event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock
as
a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide
its
outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of
the
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in
each
such event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of
such
event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Purchase Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the
product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase Price then in effect.
The
Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon
the
happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section
4.
The number of shares of Common Stock that the holder of this Warrant shall
thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to
receive shall be increased or decreased to a number determined by multiplying
the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the
provisions of this Section 4) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of
which (a) the numerator is the Purchase Price that would otherwise (but for
the
provisions of this Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the
Purchase Price in effect on the date of such exercise.
5.
Certificate
as to Adjustments.
In each
case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) issuable on the exercise of the Warrant, the Company at its expense
will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee
to
compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the
Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment
and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment
is
based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable
by
the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares
of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding,
and (c) the Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be
received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this
Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to
the
holder of the Warrant and any Warrant agent of the Company (appointed pursuant
to Section 10 hereof).

Reservation
of Stock, etc. Issuable on Exercise of Warrant; Financial
Statements.
The
Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and
delivery on the exercise of the Warrant, all shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of the Warrant. This
Warrant entitles the holder hereof to receive copies of all financial and other
information distributed or required to be distributed to the holders of the
Company's Common Stock.

of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered
by
the Transferor.

receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss,
theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement
or
security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the
case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant,

Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant
of like tenor.

accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, will be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Warrant Shares, when issued

Act Filings, the sale of the Shares and the Warrants and the subsequent exercise
of the Warrant for Warrant Shares are not subject to any preemptive right or
right of first refusal that has not been properly waived or with which the
Company has not complied..
6.
The
execution and delivery of the Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (including, but not
limited to, the issuance of the Shares, the sale of the Securities and the
fulfillment of the terms of the Agreement) will not (a) violate or conflict
with
the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Company or violate any

Appendix
A to EXHIBIT D
You
are
the "beneficial owner" of a security if you directly or indirectly, through
any
contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise, have or share:
(i) voting power which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting
of,
such security, or (ii) investment power which includes the power to dispose,
or
to direct the disposition of, such security. You are deemed the beneficial
owner
of a security if you, directly or indirectly, create or use a trust, proxy,
power of attorney, pooling arrangement or any other contract, arrangement,
or
device with the purpose or effect of divesting yourself of beneficial ownership
of a security or preventing the vesting of such beneficial ownership. Finally,
you are deemed to be the beneficial owner of a security if you have the right
to
acquire beneficial ownership of such security at any time within sixty days,
including but not limited to any right to acquire (a) through the exercise
of
any option, warrant or right, or (b) through the conversion of a security,
or
(c) pursuant to the power to revoke a trust, discretionary account, or similar
arrangement, or (d) pursuant to the automatic termination of a trust,
discretionary account or similar arrangement. If you have acquired any security
or power specified in (a), (b), (c) or (d) above, with the purpose or effect
of
changing or influencing the control of the issuer, or in connection with or
as a
participant in any transaction having such purpose or effect, then immediately
upon such acquisition you are deemed to be the beneficial owner of the
securities which may be acquired through the exercise or conversion of such
security or power.
All
securities of the same class that are beneficially owned by you, regardless
of
the form which such beneficial ownership takes, must be aggregated in
calculating the number of shares beneficially owned by you.
The
above
definition is broad and although you may not actually have or share voting
or
investment power with respect to securities owned by persons in your family
or
living in your home, you should include such shares in your beneficial ownership
disclosure, and then, as appropriate, disclaim beneficial ownership of such
securities.
