form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the
certificates for such Securities):
"NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY
THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES
ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
3
1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE
SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR
ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE
SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD
PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING
THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A
BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT
SECURED BY THE SECURITIES."
The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a
certificate without such legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is
stamped, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws, (a)
such Security is registered for sale under an effective registration statement
filed under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or
Regulation S without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a
particular date that can then be immediately sold, or (b) such holder provides
the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary
for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public
sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the
1933 Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or
transfer is effected. The Buyer agrees to sell all Securities, including those
represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in
compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any. In the
event that the Company does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the
Buyer with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from
registration, such as Rule 144 or Regulation S, at the Deadline, it will be
considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Note.

and no further consent or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors,
or its shareholders is required, (iii) this Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by the Company by its authorized representative, and such authorized

shares are reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Note. All of such
outstanding shares of capital stock are, or upon issuance will be, duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non- assessable. No shares of capital
stock of the Company are subject to preemptive rights or any other similar
rights of the shareholders of the Company or any liens or encumbrances imposed

of this Agreement, (i) there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights
to subscribe for, puts, calls, rights of first refusal, agreements,

(or in any agreement providing rights to security holders) that will be
triggered by the issuance of the Note or the Conversion Shares. The Company has
furnished to the Buyer true and correct copies of the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation as in effect on the date hereof ("Certificate of Incorporation"),
the Company's By- laws, as in effect on the date hereof (the "By-laws"), and the
terms of all securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock of the

acknowledges the potentially dilutive effect to the Common Stock upon the
issuance of the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Note. The Company

and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have

Agreement, the Note by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the

issuance and reservation for issuance of the Conversion Shares) will not (i)
conflict with or result in a violation of any provision of the Certificate of
Incorporation or By-laws, or (ii) violate or conflict with, or result in a
breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which with
notice or lapse of time or both could become a default) under, or give to others
any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any
agreement, indenture, patent, patent license or instrument to which the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any
law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state
securities laws and regulations and regulations of any self-regulatory
organizations to which the Company or its securities are subject) applicable to
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected (except for such
conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and
violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect). Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation
of its Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws or other organizational documents
6
and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default (and no event
has occurred which with notice or lapse of time or both could put the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries in default) under, and neither the Company nor any of
its Subsidiaries has taken any action or failed to take any action that would
give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any property or assets of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected, except for possible
defaults as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect. The businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries, if any, are not
being conducted, and shall not be conducted so long as the Buyer owns any of the
Securities, in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental
entity. Except as specifically contemplated by this Agreement and as required
under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws, the Company is not
required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or
registration with, any court, governmental agency, regulatory agency, self
regulatory organization or stock market or any third party in order for it to
execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, the
Note in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof or to issue and sell the
Note in accordance with the terms hereof and to issue the Conversion Shares upon
conversion of the Note. All consents, authorizations, orders, filings and
registrations which the Company is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding
sentence have been obtained or effected on or prior to the date hereof. The
Company is not in violation of the listing requirements of the Over-the- Counter
Bulletin Board (the "OTCQB") and does not reasonably anticipate that the Common
Stock will be delisted by the OTCQB in the foreseeable future. The Company and
its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise
to any of the foregoing.
g. SEC Documents; Financial Statements. The Company has timely filed
all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be
filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") (all of the
foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits included therein and
financial statements and schedules thereto and documents (other than exhibits to
such documents) incorporated by reference therein, being hereinafter referred to
herein as the "SEC Documents"). Upon written request the Company will deliver to
the Buyer true and complete copies of the SEC Documents, except for such
exhibits and incorporated documents. As of their respective dates, the SEC
Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934
Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable
to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed
with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. None of the statements made in any such SEC Documents is,
or has been, required to be amended or updated under applicable law (except for
such statements as have been amended or updated in subsequent filings prior the
date hereof). As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the
Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material
respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and
regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting
principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved and fairly present
7
in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and
its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated
results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject,
in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).
Except as set forth in the financial statements of the Company included in the
SEC Documents, the Company has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other
than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to
June 30, 2012, and (ii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in
the ordinary course of business and not required under generally accepted
accounting principles to be reflected in such financial statements, which,
individually or in the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or
operating results of the Company. The Company is subject to the reporting
requirements of the 1934 Act.
h. Absence of Certain Changes. Since June 30, 2012, there has been no
material adverse change and no material adverse development in the assets,
liabilities, business, properties, operations, financial condition, results of
operations, prospects or 1934 Act reporting status of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries.
i. Absence of Litigation. There is no action, suit, claim, proceeding,
inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government
agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, or their officers or directors in their capacity as
such, that could have a Material Adverse Effect. Schedule 3(i) contains a
complete list and summary description of any pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company, threatened proceeding against or affecting the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, without regard to whether it would have a Material Adverse Effect.
The Company and its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances which
might give rise to any of the foregoing.
j. Patents, Copyrights, etc. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries
owns or possesses the requisite licenses or rights to use all patents, patent
applications, patent rights, inventions, know-how, trade secrets, trademarks,
trademark applications, service marks, service names, trade names and copyrights
("Intellectual Property") necessary to enable it to conduct its business as now
operated (and, as presently contemplated to be operated in the future); there is
no claim or action by any person pertaining to, or proceeding pending, or to the
Company's knowledge threatened, which challenges the right of the Company or of
a Subsidiary with respect to any Intellectual Property necessary to enable it to
conduct its business as now operated (and, as presently contemplated to be
operated in the future); to the best of the Company's knowledge, the Company's
or its Subsidiaries' current and intended products, services and processes do
not infringe on any Intellectual Property or other rights held by any person;
and the Company is unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise
to any of the foregoing. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have taken
reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value
of their Intellectual Property.
k. No Materially Adverse Contracts, Etc. Neither the Company nor any
of its Subsidiaries is subject to any charter, corporate or other legal
restriction, or any judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation which in the
8
judgment of the Company's officers has or is expected in the future to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a
party to any contract or agreement which in the judgment of the Company's
officers has or is expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
l. Tax Status. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has made or
filed all federal, state and foreign income and all other tax returns, reports
and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject (unless and
only to the extent that the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has set aside
on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and
unreported taxes) and has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and
charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such
returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith
and has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of
all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports
or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed
to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the
Company know of no basis for any such claim. The Company has not executed a
waiver with respect to the statute of limitations relating to the assessment or
collection of any foreign, federal, state or local tax. None of the Company's
tax returns is presently being audited by any taxing authority.
m. Certain Transactions. Except for arm's length transactions pursuant
to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes payments in the ordinary
course of business upon terms no less favorable than the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries could obtain from third parties and other than the grant of stock
options disclosed on Schedule 3(c), none of the officers, directors, or
employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for services as employees,

or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any
officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any
corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any officer, director,
or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director,
trustee or partner.

transactions contemplated hereby is true and correct in all material respects
and the Company has not omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to
make the statements made herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading. No event or circumstance has occurred or
exists with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their
business, properties, prospects, operations or financial conditions, which,
under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or
announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly announced or
disclosed (assuming for this purpose that the Company's reports filed under the
1934 Act are being incorporated into an effective registration statement filed
by the Company under the 1933 Act).

of in compliance with applicable law, no Hazardous Materials are contained on or
about any real property currently owned, leased or used by the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries, and no Hazardous Materials were released on or about any real
property previously owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries during the period the property was owned, leased or used by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except in the normal course of the Company's
or any of its Subsidiaries' business.
(iii) There are no underground storage tanks on or under any real
property owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that
are not in compliance with applicable law.
t. Title to Property. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and
marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable
title to all personal property owned by them and listed on their balance sheet.
The Company has a lease on the properties it has contracted to operate which are
material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case free
and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as are described in
Schedule 3(t) or such as would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Any real
property and facilities held under lease by the Company and its Subsidiaries are
held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions
as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
u. Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are not insured
by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks
and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and
customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are
engaged. The Company intends to acquire Directors and Officers Insurance,
operating insurance and appropriate Labor and Industries insurance policies as
are necessary to prosecute on its business plan within the next 90 days. Neither
the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not
be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage
12
expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary
to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse
Effect.
v. Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and each of its
Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient, in
the judgment of the Company's board of directors, to provide reasonable
assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management's
general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary
to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii)
access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general or
specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is
compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action
is taken with respect to any differences.
w. Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor any of its
Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other person acting
on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary has, in the course of his actions
for, or on behalf of, the Company, used any corporate funds for any unlawful
contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to
political activity; made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign
or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds; violated or is
in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977,
as amended, or made any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or
other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or
employee.
x. Solvency. The Company (after giving effect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement) is solvent (i.e., its assets have a fair market
value in excess of the amount required to pay its probable liabilities on its
existing debts as they become absolute and matured) and currently the Company
has no information that would lead it to reasonably conclude that the Company
would not, after giving effect to the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement, have the ability to, nor does it intend to take any action that would
impair its ability to, pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection
therewith as such debts mature. The Company did not receive a qualified opinion
from its auditors with respect to its most recent fiscal year end and, after
giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, does not
anticipate or know of any basis upon which its auditors might issue a qualified
opinion in respect of its current fiscal year.
y. No Investment Company. The Company is not, and upon the issuance
and sale of the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement will not be an
"investment company" required to be registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 (an "Investment Company"). The Company is not controlled by an
Investment Company.
z. Breach of Representations and Warranties by the Company. If the
Company breaches any of the representations or warranties set forth in this
Section 3, and in addition to any other remedies available to the Buyer pursuant
to this Agreement, it will be considered an Event of default under Section 3.4
of the Note.
4. COVENANTS.
a. Best Efforts. The parties shall use their best efforts to satisfy
timely each of the conditions described in Section 6 and 7 of this Agreement.
13
b. Form D; Blue Sky Laws. Unless the Company believes it exempt from
such filings, the Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the Securities
as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to the Buyer
promptly after such filing. The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date,
take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary to
qualify the Securities for sale to the Buyer at the applicable closing pursuant
to this Agreement under applicable securities or "blue sky" laws of the states
of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and
shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Buyer on or prior to
the Closing Date.
c. Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds for general
working capital purposes.
d. Right of First Refusal. Unless it shall have first delivered to the
Buyer, at least seventy two (72) hours prior to the closing of such Future
Offering (as defined herein), written notice describing the proposed Future
Offering, including the terms and conditions thereof and proposed definitive
documentation to be entered into in connection therewith, and providing the
Buyer an option during the seventy two (72) hour period following delivery of
such notice to purchase the securities being offered in the Future Offering on
the same terms as contemplated by such Future Offering (the limitations referred
to in this sentence and the preceding sentence are collectively referred to as
the "Right of First Refusal") (and subject to the exceptions described below),
the Company will not conduct any equity financing (including debt with an equity
component) ("Future Offerings") during the period beginning on the Closing Date
and ending twelve (12) months following the Closing Date. In the event the terms
and conditions of a proposed Future Offering are amended in any respect after
delivery of the notice to the Buyer concerning the proposed Future Offering, the
Company shall deliver a new notice to the Buyer describing the amended terms and
conditions of the proposed Future Offering and the Buyer thereafter shall have
an option during the seventy two (72) hour period following delivery of such new
notice to purchase its pro rata share of the securities being offered on the
same terms as contemplated by such proposed Future Offering, as amended. The
foregoing sentence shall apply to successive amendments to the terms and
conditions of any proposed Future Offering. The Right of First Refusal shall not
apply to any transaction involving (i) issuances of securities in a firm
commitment underwritten public offering (excluding a continuous offering
pursuant to Rule 415 under the 0000 Xxx) or (ii) issuances of securities as
consideration for a merger, consolidation or purchase of assets, or in
connection with any strategic partnership or joint venture (the primary purpose
of which is not to raise equity capital), or in connection with the disposition
or acquisition of a business, product or license by the Company. The Right of
First Refusal also shall not apply to the issuance of securities upon exercise
or conversion of the Company's options, warrants or other convertible securities
outstanding as of the date hereof or to the grant of additional options or
warrants, or the issuance of additional securities, under any Company stock
option or restricted stock plan approved by the shareholders of the Company. The
Right of First refusal shall be limited to like transactions (i.e. convertible
debentures) that do not exceed $100,000.00 in the aggregate.
14
e. Expenses. At the Closing, the Company shall reimburse Buyer for
expenses incurred by them in connection with the negotiation, preparation,
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other agreements
to be executed in connection herewith ("Documents"), including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' and consultants' fees and expenses, transfer
agent fees, fees for stock quotation services, fees relating to any amendments
or modifications of the Documents or any consents or waivers of provisions in
the Documents, fees for the preparation of opinions of counsel, escrow fees, and
costs of restructuring the transactions contemplated by the Documents. When
possible, the Company must pay these fees directly, otherwise the Company must
make immediate payment for reimbursement to the Buyer for all fees and expenses
immediately upon written notice by the Buyer or the submission of an invoice by
the Buyer. The Company's obligation with respect to this transaction is to
reimburse Buyer' expenses shall be $2,500.
f. Financial Information. Upon written request the Company agrees to
send or make available the following reports to the Buyer until the Buyer
transfers, assigns, or sells all of the Securities: (i) within ten (10) days
after the filing with the SEC, a copy of its Annual Report on Form 10-K its
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and any Current Reports on Form 8-K; (ii) within
one (1) day after release, copies of all press releases issued by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries; and (iii) contemporaneously with the making available
or giving to the shareholders of the Company, copies of any notices or other
information the Company makes available or gives to such shareholders.
g. [INTENTIONALLY DELETED]
h. Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the
Conversion Shares upon each national securities exchange or automated quotation
system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to
official notice of issuance) and, so long as the Buyer owns any of the
Securities, shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be
so listed, such listing of all Conversion Shares from time to time issuable upon
conversion of the Note. The Company will obtain and, so long as the Buyer owns
any of the Securities, maintain the listing and trading of its Common Stock on
the OTCQB or any equivalent replacement exchange, the Nasdaq National Market
("Nasdaq"), the Nasdaq SmallCap Market ("Nasdaq SmallCap"), the New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE"), or the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") and will comply in
all respects with the Company's reporting, filing and other obligations under
the bylaws or rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and
such exchanges, as applicable. The Company shall promptly provide to the Buyer
copies of any notices it receives from the OTCQB and any other exchanges or
quotation systems on which the Common Stock is then listed regarding the
continued eligibility of the Common Stock for listing on such exchanges and
quotation systems.
i. Corporate Existence. So long as the Buyer beneficially owns any
Note, the Company shall maintain its corporate existence and shall not sell all
or substantially all of the Company's assets, except in the event of a merger or
consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, where
the surviving or successor entity in such transaction (i) assumes the Company's
obligations hereunder and under the agreements and instruments entered into in
15
connection herewith and (ii) is a publicly traded corporation whose Common Stock
is listed for trading on the OTCQB, Nasdaq, Nasdaq SmallCap, NYSE or AMEX.
j. No Integration. The Company shall not make any offers or sales of
any security (other than the Securities) under circumstances that would require
registration of the Securities being offered or sold hereunder under the 1933
Act or cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with any other
offering of securities by the Company for the purpose of any stockholder
approval provision applicable to the Company or its securities.
k. Breach of Covenants. If the Company breaches any of the covenants
set forth in this Section 4, and in addition to any other remedies available to
the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, it will be considered an event of default
under Section 3.4 of the Note.
l. Failure to Comply with the 1934 Act. So long as the Buyer
beneficially owns the Note, the Company shall comply with the Section 13
reporting requirements of the 1934 Act; and the Company shall continue to be
subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 of the 1934 Act.
m. Trading Activities. Neither the Buyer nor its affiliates has an
open short position in the common stock of the Company and the Buyer agree that
it shall not, and that it will cause its affiliates not to, engage in any short
sales of or hedging transactions with respect to the common stock of the
Company.
5. Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable
instructions to its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name
of the Buyer or its nominee, for the Conversion Shares in such amounts as
specified from time to time by the Buyer to the Company upon conversion of the
Note in accordance with the terms thereof (the "Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions"). In the event that the Borrower proposes to replace its transfer
agent, the Borrower shall provide, prior to the effective date of such
replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form
as initially delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (including but not
limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve shares of Common Stock in the
Reserved Amount) signed by the successor transfer agent to Borrower and the
Borrower. Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act or
the date on which the Conversion Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without
any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can
then be immediately sold, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive
legend specified in Section 2(g) of this Agreement. The Company warrants that:
(i) no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions
referred to in this Section 5, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to
Section 2(f) hereof (in the case of the Conversion Shares, prior to registration
of the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion
Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number
of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold), will
be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall
otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and
to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Note; (ii) it will not direct
its transfer agent not to transfer or delay, impair, and/or hinder its transfer
agent in transferring (or issuing)(electronically or in certificated form) any
16
certificate for Conversion Shares to be issued to the Buyer upon conversion of
or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and this
Agreement; and (iii) it will not fail to remove (or directs its transfer agent
not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent from
removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions
in respect thereof) on any certificate for any Conversion Shares issued to the
Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required
by the Note and this Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way
the Buyer's obligations and agreement set forth in Section 2(g) hereof to comply
with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon re-sale of
the Securities. If the Buyer provides the Company, at the cost of the Buyer,
with (i) an opinion of counsel in form, substance and scope customary for
opinions in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or
transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act
and such sale or transfer is effected or (ii) the Buyer provides reasonable
assurances that the Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144, the Company
shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares, promptly
instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from
restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by the
Buyer. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder
will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer, by vitiating the intent and purpose of
the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that
the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5 may be
inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the
Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Buyer shall be entitled, in
addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any
breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing
economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

by this Agreement.
