ERISA.

(bb)
Independent Nature of Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that the obligations of each Purchaser under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that the decision of each Purchaser to purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser 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 of its Subsidiaries which may have made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Purchaser (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. The Company acknowledges that nothing contained herein, or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers 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 for reasons of administrative convenience only, the Transaction Documents have been prepared by counsel for the placement agent and such counsel does not represent the Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that it has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers and the Purchasers have retained their own counsel with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company acknowledges that such procedure with respect to the Transaction Documents in no way creates a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
(cc)
No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor 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 under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act in a manner that would prevent the Company from selling the Securities pursuant to Regulation D and Rule 506 thereof under the Securities Act, nor will the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings. The Company does not
12
have any registration statement pending before the Commission or currently under the Commission’s review. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(cc) hereto, since May 23, 2006, the Company has not offered or sold any of its equity securities or debt securities convertible into shares of Common Stock.

(ee)
Dilutive Effect. The Company understands and acknowledges that its obligation to issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with this Agreement and the Notes and its obligations to issue the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with this Agreement and the Warrants, is, in each case, absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interest of other stockholders of the Company.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by each Purchaser and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or partnership action, and no further consent or authorization of such Purchaser or its Board of Directors, stockholders, or partners, as the case may be, is required. When executed and delivered by the Purchasers, the other Transaction Documents shall constitute valid and binding obligations of each Purchaser enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor's rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
13
(c)
No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Purchaser and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated thereby and hereby do not and will not (i) violate any provision of the Purchaser’s charter or organizational documents, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser’s respective properties or assets are bound, or (iii) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Purchaser or by which any property or asset of the Purchaser are bound or affected, except, in all cases, other than violations pursuant to clauses (i) or (iii) (with respect to federal and state securities laws) above, except, for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the Purchaser’s ability to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.
(d)
Acquisition for Investment. Each Purchaser is purchasing the Securities solely for its own account and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, public sale or distribution thereof. Each Purchaser does not have a present intention to sell any of the Securities, nor a present arrangement (whether or not legally binding) or intention to effect any distribution of any of the Securities to or through any person or entity; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Purchaser does not agree to hold the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with Federal and state securities laws applicable to such disposition. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it (i) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of Purchaser's investment in the Company, (ii) is able to bear the financial risks associated with an investment in the Securities and (iii) has been given full access to such records of the Company and the Subsidiaries and to the officers of the Company and the Subsidiaries as it has deemed necessary or appropriate to conduct its due diligence investigation.
(e)
Rule 144. Each Purchaser understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless such Securities are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available. Each Purchaser acknowledges that such person is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations of the Commission, as amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act ("Rule 144"), and that such Purchaser has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain circumstances. Each Purchaser understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is not available, such Purchaser will be unable to sell any Securities without either registration under the Securities Act or the existence of another exemption from such registration requirement.
(f)
General. Each Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirements of federal and state securities laws and the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of
14
such Purchaser to acquire the Securities. Each Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities. Each Purchaser is a resident of the jurisdiction set forth immediately below such Purchaser’s name on the signature pages hereto.
(g)
No General Solicitation. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities were not offered to such Purchaser by means of any form of general or public solicitation or general advertising, or publicly disseminated advertisements or sales literature, including (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, Internet website or similar media, or broadcast over television or radio, or (ii) any seminar or meeting to which such Purchaser was invited by any of the foregoing means of communications. Each Purchaser, in making the decision to purchase the Securities, has relied upon independent investigation made by it and has not relied on any information or representations made by third parties.
(h)
Accredited Investor. Each Purchaser is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), and such Purchaser has such experience in business and financial matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities. Such Purchaser is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act and such Purchaser is not a broker-dealer. Each Purchaser acknowledges that an investment in the Securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk.
(i)
Certain Fees. The Purchasers have not employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any brokerage or investment banking fees, commissions, finders' structuring fees, financial advisory fees or other similar fees in connection with the Transaction Documents.
(j)
Independent Investment. Except as may be disclosed in any filings made by a Purchaser with the Commission, no Purchaser has agreed to act with any other Purchaser for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of the Securities purchased hereunder for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act, and each Purchaser is acting independently with respect to its investment in the Securities.
The Company covenants with each Purchaser as follows, which covenants are for the benefit of each Purchaser and their respective permitted assignees.
Section 3.1
Securities Compliance. The Company shall notify the Commission in accordance with its rules and regulations, of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents 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, or their respective subsequent holders.
Section 3.2
Registration and Listing. The Company shall cause its Common Stock to continue to be registered under Sections 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, to comply
15
in all respects with its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act, to comply with all requirements related to any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, and to not take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted by the Securities Act or the rules promulgated thereunder) to terminate or suspend such registration or to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act or Securities Act, except as permitted herein. The Company will take all action necessary to continue the listing or trading of its Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or other exchange or market on which the Common Stock is trading. Subject to the terms of the Transaction Documents, the Company further covenants that it will take such further action as the Purchasers may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Purchasers to sell the Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Upon the request of the Purchasers, the Company shall deliver to the Purchasers a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with the issuer requirements of Rule 144.
Section 3.3
Inspection Rights. Provided the same would not be in violation of Regulation FD, the Company shall permit, during normal business hours and upon reasonable request and reasonable notice, each Purchaser or any employees, agents or representatives thereof, so long as such Purchaser shall be obligated hereunder to purchase the Notes or shall beneficially own any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, for purposes reasonably related to such Purchaser's interests as a stockholder, to examine the publicly available, non-confidential records and books of account of, and visit and inspect the properties, assets, operations and business of the Company and any Subsidiary, and to discuss the publicly available, non-confidential affairs, finances and accounts of the Company and any Subsidiary with any of its officers, consultants, directors and key employees.
Section 3.4
Compliance with Laws. The Company shall comply, and cause each Subsidiary to comply, with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, noncompliance with which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.5

The Company shall keep and cause each Subsidiary to keep adequate records and books of account, in which complete entries will be made in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, reflecting all financial transactions of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and in which, for each fiscal year, all proper reserves for depreciation, depletion, obsolescence, amortization, taxes, bad debts and other purposes in connection with its business shall be made.
Section 3.6
Reporting Requirements. If the Company ceases to file its periodic reports with the Commission, or if the Commission ceases making these periodic reports available via the Internet without charge, then the Company shall furnish the following to each Purchaser so long as such Purchaser shall be obligated hereunder to purchase the Securities or shall beneficially own Securities:

Other Agreements. The Company shall not enter into any agreement in which the terms of such agreement would restrict or impair the right or ability to perform of the Company or any Subsidiary under any Transaction Document.
Section 3.8
Use of Proceeds. The net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder shall be used by the Company for working capital and general corporate purposes and not to redeem any Common Stock or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock. In addition to and without limiting the foregoing, provided the Company is not in default under any loan, indebtedness or other credit financing, including the Notes, and is not more than 120 days late in the payment of ordinary course accounts payable or other accrued liabilities of more than $100,000 to any single account creditor, then in such case it may utilize a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for the repayment of indebtedness to any affiliate of the Company, including the Company’s management.
Section 3.9
[Intentionally Omitted.]
Section 3.10
Disclosure of Transaction. The Company shall issue a press release describing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Press Release”) on the day of the Closing but in no event later than one hour after the Closing; provided, however, that if the Closing occurs after 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time on any Trading Day, the Company shall issue the Press Release no later than 9:00 A.M. Eastern Time on the first Trading Day following the Closing Date. The Company shall also file with the Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) describing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby (and attaching as exhibits thereto this Agreement, each form of Note, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Security Agreement, each form of Warrant and the Press Release) as soon as practicable following the Closing Date but in no event more than two (2) Trading Days following the Closing Date, which Press Release and Form 8-K shall be subject to prior review and reasonable comment by the Purchasers. "Trading Day" means any day during which the principal exchange on which the Common Stock is traded shall be open for trading.
Section 3.11
Disclosure of Material Information. The Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf has provided or will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
17
Section 3.12
Pledge of Securities. The Company acknowledges that the Securities may be pledged by a Purchaser in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Securities. The pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Purchaser effecting a pledge of the Securities shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that a Purchaser and its pledgee shall be required to comply with the provisions of Article V hereof in order to effect a sale, transfer or assignment of Securities to such pledgee. At the Purchasers' expense, the Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Securities to such pledgee by a Purchaser.
Section 3.13
[Intentionally Omitted.]
Section 3.14
Distributions. So long as any Notes or Warrants remain outstanding, the Company agrees that it shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or make any distributions to any holder(s) of Common Stock or (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire for value, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock or other equity security of the Company.
Section 3.15
Reservation of Shares. Subject to Section 3.21 (i.e., the Company’s best efforts to increase its authorized capital) hereof, so long as any of the Notes or Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance, one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the issuance of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares.
Section 3.16
Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates, registered in the name of each Purchaser or its respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Purchaser to the Company upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”). Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 5.1 of this Agreement. The Company warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 3.16 will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. Nothing in this Section 3.16 shall affect in any way each Purchaser’s obligations and agreements set forth in Section 5.1 to comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon resale of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares. If a Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a reasonably acceptable form, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares may be made without registration under the Securities Act, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Purchaser and without any restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges
18
that a breach by it of its obligations under this Section 3.16 will cause irreparable harm to the Purchasers by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 3.16 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 3.16, that the Purchasers shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
Section 3.17
Disposition of Assets. So long as the Notes remain outstanding, neither the Company nor any subsidiary shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties, assets and rights having a book value of in excess of $50,000, including, without limitation, its software and intellectual property, to any person except for sales of obsolete assets and sales to customers in the ordinary course of business or with the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.
Section 3.18
Acquisition of Assets. In the event the Company or any Subsidiary acquires any assets or other properties, such assets or properties shall constitute a part of the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) and the Company shall take all action necessary to perfect the Purchasers’ security interest in such assets or properties pursuant to the Security Agreement.
Section 3.19
Limitations on New Financings; No Registration Statements; Integration of Offerings
(a)
The term “New Transaction” shall mean any capital raising, debt raising or other financing transaction, other than a Permitted New Transaction (as defined below) of the Company or any Subsidiary, consummated directly or indirectly by the Company or any Subsidiary, in one or a series of transactions, undertaken during the Full Lock Up Period (as defined below) for the sale of Common Stock or other securities exercisable for, convertible into, or exchangeable for, Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”). The “Full Lock Up Period” shall mean the period commencing on the Closing Date and continuing through the earlier of (x) the date upon which fifty percent (50%) of the original principal amount of the Notes are converted and/or fully paid, including all interest accrued thereon, or (y) the date which is nine months following the Effective Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). The Full Lock Up Period shall be inclusive of the Effective Date Lock Up Period and the Nine Month Lock Up Period. The “New Transaction Price” shall mean the lowest purchase price, conversion price, exercise price, exchange ratio or similar price mechanism at which Common Stock or other Convertible Securities are issued and sold in the New Transaction; provided that if no such price is indicated, the New Transaction Price shall be deemed to be $0.01.
(b)
The Company agrees that, absent the prior written consent of the Majority in Interest, during the Full Lock Up Period, it shall not enter into a New Transaction where such transaction provides for a variable conversion or exercise Transaction Price; provided the Company may make scheduled payments on existing obligations (as the same exist on the date hererof) not to exceed 4.77% per month of the original amount of such obligations, on terms which provide for such payments to be made in shares of Common Stock based on a percentage
19
of not less than seventy five (75%) of the ten (10) day VWAP (as defined in the Note) as of such payment date.
(c)
The “Effective Date Lock Up Period” shall mean the period commencing on the Closing Date and continuing through the Effective Date. The Company agrees that, absent the prior written consent of the Majority in Interest, during the Effective Date Lock Up Period, it shall not enter into a New Transaction regardless of the terms of such New Transaction.
(d)
The “Nine Month Lock Up Period” shall mean the period commencing on the Effective Date and continuing through the date that is nine (9) months following the Effective Date. The Company agrees that, absent the prior written consent of the Majority in Interest, during the Nine Month Lock Up Period, it shall not enter into a New Transaction where such transaction provides for registration rights of any Common Stock, Convertible Securities or other securities (including “piggy back” registration rights) to the investors in such New Transaction.
(e)
Any breach, violation or default of the provisions of this Section 3.19 shall be an Event of Default under the Notes and the other Transaction Documents. Upon such Default, the Holder of any Note shall have all rights and remedies under the Note, including Redemption, available to it. Without limitation of the foregoing, in the event the Company does enter into a New Transaction during the Full Lock Up Period, the Transaction Documents, including the Notes and Warrants, will be modified absent the Company’s consent to include any terms created in the New Transaction which are more beneficial to the new investors than to the Purchasers under the Transaction Documents, including the Notes and Warrants. Such new terms may include, but shall not be limited to, increasing the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Further, in addition to other rights and remedies of the Purchasers, the Company agrees that based on the terms of the New Transaction, the exercise price of the Warrants and the conversion prices of the Notes may be adjusted based on the New Transaction Price, such that the investors in the New Transaction do not have conversion and/or exercise terms with respect to any Convertible Securities, or the issuance and sale of Common Stock, including price, more beneficial than the Purchasers.
(f)
A “Permitted New Transaction” shall mean (i) securities issued in connection with a merger, acquisition, or consolidation, or in connection with a strategic partner of the Company, provided the Company is the surviving entity in any such transaction and that such issuance represents less than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s outstanding market capitalization on the date such transaction is consummated or represents less than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s outstanding market capitalization assuming the exercise of all warrants issued in such transaction, and provided such warrants, if any, are issued with an exercise price above the Closing Bid Price on the date of issuance, (ii) Common Stock issued or the issuance or grants of options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans as they now exist on the date hereof to officers, directors and employees of the Company provided that all such shares are subject to the Lock Up Agreements.
(g)
Prior to the Effective Date, the Company will not file any registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) to register shares of
20
Common Stock or Convertible Securities, except for (i) registration statements on Form S-8, and (ii) post effective amendments to existing registration statements for the purpose of updating financial reporting and disclosures, but solely with respect to registration statements that are effective as of the date hereof.
(h)
In no event, whether permitted or not under this Agreement, will the Company undertake any offering of securities that (i) could be deemed to be “integrated” with this offering, and/or (ii) would in any way jeopardize the utilization of one or more private placement exemptions under the Act, including the provisions of Regulation D thereunder, for the purposes of the transactions and offerings contemplated by the Transaction Documents including the issuance and sale of the Notes and Warrants and the issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants.

Subsequent Financings.
(a)
In addition to, and notwithstanding Section 3.19, for a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date (which one-year period shall extend for each day that the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) is not effective as required under the Registration Rights Agreement), the Company covenants and agrees to promptly notify (in no event later than five (5) days after making or receiving an applicable offer) in writing (a "Rights Notice") the Purchasers of the terms and conditions of any proposed offer or sale to, or exchange with (or other type of distribution to) any third party (a “Subsequent Financing”), of Common Stock or any securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock, including convertible debt securities (collectively, the "Financing Securities"). The Rights Notice shall describe, in reasonable detail, the proposed Subsequent Financing, the names and investment amounts of all investors participating in the Subsequent Financing, the proposed closing date of the Subsequent Financing, which shall be within twenty (20) calendar days from the date of the Rights Notice, and all of the terms and conditions thereof and proposed definitive documentation to be entered into in connection therewith. The Rights Notice shall provide each Purchaser an option (the “Rights Option”) during the ten (10) Trading Days following delivery of the Rights Notice (the “Option Period”) to inform the Company whether such Purchaser will purchase up to its pro rata portion of all or a portion of the securities being offered in such Subsequent Financing on the same, absolute terms and conditions as contemplated by such Subsequent Financing. If any Purchaser elects not to participate in such Subsequent Financing, the other Purchasers may participate on a pro-rata basis up to the total Subsequent Financing amount. For purposes of this Section, all references to “pro rata” means, for any Purchaser electing to participate in such Subsequent Financing, the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the principal amount of the Notes purchased by such Purchaser at the Closing by (y) the total principal amount of all of the Notes purchased by all of the participating Purchasers at the Closing. Delivery of any Rights Notice constitutes a representation and warranty by the Company that there are no other material terms and conditions, arrangements, agreements or otherwise except for those disclosed in the Rights Notice, to provide additional compensation to any party participating in any proposed Subsequent Financing, including, but not limited to, additional compensation based on changes in the Purchase Price or any type of reset or adjustment of a purchase or conversion price or to issue additional securities at any time after the closing date of a Subsequent Financing. If the Company does not receive notice of exercise of the Rights Option from the Purchasers within the Option Period, the Company shall have the
21
right to close the Subsequent Financing on the scheduled closing date with a third party; provided that all of the material terms and conditions of the closing are the same as those provided to the Purchasers in the Rights Notice. If the closing of the proposed Subsequent Financing does not occur on that date, any closing of the contemplated Subsequent Financing or any other Subsequent Financing shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Section 3.20(a), including, without limitation, the delivery of a new Rights Notice. The provisions of this Section 3.20(a) shall not apply to issuances of securities in a Permitted Financing.
(b)
For purposes of this Agreement, a Permitted Financing (as defined hereinafter) shall not be considered a Subsequent Financing. A "Permitted Financing" shall mean (i) securities issued (other than for cash) in connection with a merger, acquisition, or consolidation, (ii) securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities issued or outstanding on or prior to the date hereof or issued pursuant to this Agreement and the Notes, including the Conversion Shares (iii) the Warrant Shares, (iv) securities issued in connection with bona fide strategic license agreements or other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital, (v) Common Stock issued or the issuance or grants of options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans as they now exist on the date hereof, (vi) any warrants issued to the placement agent and its designees for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof, and (vii) the payment of any principal in shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Notes.
(c)
So long as the Notes remain outstanding, if the Company enters into any Subsequent Financing on terms more favorable than the terms governing the Notes, then the Purchasers in their sole discretion may exchange the Notes, valued at their stated value, plus at the Purchasers option accrued but unpaid interest thereon for the securities issued or to be issued in the Subsequent Financing. The Company covenants and agrees to promptly notify in writing the Purchasers of the terms and conditions of any such proposed Subsequent Financing.
Section 3.21
Stockholder Approval. The Company covenants and agrees to use its best efforts to obtain the approval of its stockholders (“Stockholder Approval”) on or before March 31, 2007 to (i) amend its Certificate of Incorporation to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to a number that is not less than one hundred percent 100% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon conversion of the Notes and which would be issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and (ii) effect a split, combination or other action such that its Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board at a price per share of not less than $1.00 immediately following such action.
Section 3.22
D&O Insurance. So long as the Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall maintain its directors and officers’ liability insurance policy coverage at an amount equal to or in excess of $3,000,000.

Legend. Each certificate representing the Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form (in addition to any legend required by applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE "SECURITIES") HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR DATALOGIC INTERNATIONAL, INC. SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.
The Company agrees to issue or reissue certificates representing any of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, such holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company describing the manner and terms of such transfer and removal as the Company may reasonably request. Such proposed transfer and removal will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the registration of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Company with the Commission and has become effective under the Securities Act, (iii) the Company has received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not required (which may include an opinion of counsel provided by the Company), or (iv) the holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (which may include an opinion of counsel provided by the Company); and (b) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that registration or qualification under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any state is not required in connection with such proposed disposition, (ii) compliance with applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws has been effected, or (iii) the holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that a valid exemption exists with respect thereto (which may include an opinion of counsel provided by the Company). The Company will respond to any such notice from a holder within three (3) business days. In the case of any proposed transfer under this Section 5.1, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws, but
26
shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the Company. The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 5.1 shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Agreement. Whenever a certificate representing the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares is required to be issued to a Purchaser without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, provided the Company's transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares to a Purchaser by crediting the account of such Purchaser's Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Agreement).
Section 6.1
General Indemnity. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers (and their respective directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Purchasers as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company herein. Each Purchaser severally but not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Company as result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by such Purchaser herein. The maximum aggregate liability of each Purchaser pursuant to its indemnification obligations under this Article VI shall not exceed the portion of the Purchase Price paid by such Purchaser hereunder.
Section 6.2
Indemnification Procedure. Any party entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an "indemnified party") will give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matter giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the indemnifying party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnified party exists with respect to such action, proceeding or claim (in which case the indemnifying party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified parties), to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within
27
thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified party's costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the indemnified party which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party's prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification obligations to defend the indemnified party required by this Article VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the indemnified party shall refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law. No indemnifying party will be liable to the indemnified party under this Agreement to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to the indemnified party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants made by such party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.
Section 7.1
Fees and Expenses. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisors, 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; provided, however, that the Company shall pay all actual attorneys' fees and expenses (including disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred by the Purchasers in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereunder, which payment shall be made at Closing and shall not exceed $25,000 (plus disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses), and (ii) any amendments, modifications or waivers of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction
28
Documents. In addition, the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Purchasers in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses.
Section 7.2
Specific Performance; Consent to Jurisdiction; Venue.
(a)
The Company and the Purchasers acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents 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 or the other Transaction Documents 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.
(b)
The parties agree that venue for any dispute arising under this Agreement will lie exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and the parties irrevocably waive any right to raise forum non conveniens or any other argument that New York is not the proper venue. The parties irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of the state of New York. The Company and each Purchaser consent to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this Section 7.2 shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The Company and the Purchasers hereby agree that the prevailing party in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Securities, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable legal fees from the non-prevailing party. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury.
Section 7.3
Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents contain the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the matters covered hereby and, except as specifically set forth herein or in the other Transaction Documents, neither the Company nor any Purchaser make any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters, and they supersede all prior understandings and agreements with respect to said subject matter, all of which are merged herein. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Purchasers holding at least a Majority in Interest (as defined below) of the principal amount of the Notes then held by the Purchasers. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 7.3 shall be binding upon each Purchaser (and their permitted assigns) and the Company. For the purposes of this Agreement a “Majority in Interest” shall mean the holders of Notes representing not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.
Section 7.4

Any notice, demand, request, waiver or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be effective (a) upon hand delivery by telecopy or facsimile at the address or number designated below (if delivered on a business day during normal business hours where such notice is to be received), or the first business day following such delivery (if delivered other than on a business

No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Purchaser to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. This provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.

Section 7.7
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of October __, 2006, by and among Datalogic International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the purchasers named therein (collectively, the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company is issuing to the Purchasers secured convertible promissory notes (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (collectively, the “Notes”) and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). This letter shall serve as our irrevocable authorization and direction to you (provided that you are the transfer agent of the Company at such time) to issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes (the “Conversion Shares”) and exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) to or upon the order of a Purchaser from time to time upon (i) surrender to you of a properly completed and duly executed Conversion Notice or Exercise Notice, as the case may be, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2, respectively, (ii) in the case of the conversion of Notes, a copy of the Note (with the original delivered to the Company) representing the Notes being converted or, in the case of Warrants being exercised, a copy of the Warrants (with the original Warrants delivered to the Company) being exercised (or, in each case, an indemnification undertaking with respect to such Notes or the Warrants in the case of their loss, theft or destruction), and (iii) delivery of a treasury order or other appropriate order duly executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. So long as you have previously received (x) written confirmation from counsel to the Company that a registration statement covering resales of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and no subsequent notice by the Company or its counsel of the suspension or termination of its effectiveness and (y) a copy of such registration statement, and if the Purchaser represents in writing that the prospectus delivery requirements have been or will be met, the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares, as the case may be, were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement, then certificates representing the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, as the case may be, shall not bear any legend restricting transfer of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, as the case may be, thereby and should not be subject to any stop-transfer restriction. Provided, however, that if you have not previously received (i) written confirmation from counsel to the Company that a registration statement covering resales of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, has been declared effective by the SEC under the 1933 Act, and (ii) a copy of such registration statement, then the certificates for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares shall bear the following legend:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE

SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR DATALOGIC INTERNATIONAL, INC. SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF ITS COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.”
and, provided further, that the Company may from time to time notify you to place stop-transfer restrictions on the certificates for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares in the event a registration statement covering the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares is subject to amendment for events then current.
A form of written confirmation from counsel to the Company that a registration statement covering resales of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares has been declared effective by the SEC under the 1933 Act is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.

FORM OF OPINION
1.
The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets, and to carry on its business as presently conducted. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect.
2.
The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents. However, the Company lacks sufficient authorized and unissued shares of its capital stock to permit conversion of the Notes and/or exercise of the Warrants. The execution, delivery and performance of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no further consent or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders is required. Each of the Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered, and the Notes and the Warrants have been duly executed, issued and delivered by the Company and each of the Transaction Documents constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its respective terms. The Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants are not subject to any preemptive rights under the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws.
3.
The Notes and the Warrants have been duly authorized and, when delivered against payment as provided in the Purchase Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Provided that the Company shall increase its authorized capital stock as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants when delivered upon conversion or against payment in full as provided in the Notes and the Warrants, as applicable, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
4.
The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with the terms of the Transaction Documents and the issuance of the Notes, the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants do not (a) violate any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, (b) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company is a party and which is set forth on Schedule I, (c) create or impose a lien, charge or encumbrance on any property of the Company under any agreement or any commitment which is set forth on Schedule I to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or by which any of its respective properties or assets are bound, or (d) result in a violation of any Federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction or decree (including Federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, except, in all cases other than violations pursuant to clauses (a) and (d) above, for such
x
conflicts, default, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.
No consent, approval or authorization of or designation, declaration or filing with any governmental authority on the part of the Company is required under Federal, state or local law, rule or regulation in connection with the valid execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents, or the offer, sale or issuance of the Notes, the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants other than filings as may be required by applicable Federal and state securities laws and regulations and any applicable stock exchange rules and regulations or filings to increase the authorized capital stock of the Company.
6.
To our knowledge, there is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding pending or threatened against the Company which questions the validity of the Purchase Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or to be taken pursuant thereto. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding pending, or to our knowledge, threatened, against or involving the Company or any of its properties or assets and which, if adversely determined, is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. To our knowledge, there are no outstanding orders, judgments, injunctions, awards or decrees of any court, arbitrator or governmental or regulatory body against the Company or any officers or directors of the Company in their capacities as such.
7.
Assuming that all of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement are complete and accurate, the offer, issuance and sale of the Notes and the Warrants and the offer, issuance and sale of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
8.
The Company is not, and as a result of and immediately upon Closing will not be, an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company," within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
9. The Security Agreement will create a valid security interest in favor of the Purchasers in such assets of the Company that is subject to such Security Agreement.

Re:
Datalogic International, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are special counsel to Datalogic International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of October __, 2006, by and among the Company and the purchasers named therein (collectively, the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the Purchasers secured convertible promissory notes (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (collectively, the “Notes”) and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), dated as of October __, 2006, pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on ________________, 2006, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-________) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the resale of the Registrable Securities which names each of the present Purchasers as a selling stockholder thereunder.
In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC’s staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and we have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC’s staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and accordingly, the Registrable Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
[COMPANY COUNSEL]
