REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
.1 2REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS OF THE COMPANY. The
Company hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the
Purchasers:
(a) ORGANIZATION AND QUALIFICATION. The Company is a corporation duly
incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State
of Delaware, with the requisite corporate power and authority to own and use its
properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. The
Company has no subsidiaries other than as set forth in SCHEDULE 2.1(a)
(collectively the "SUBSIDIARIES"). Each of the Subsidiaries is an entity, duly
incorporated or otherwise organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization (as
applicable), with the requisite power and authority to own and use its
properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. Each
of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business and is in
good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the nature
of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification
necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as
the case may be, could not, individually or in the aggregate, (x) adversely
affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the Securities (as defined
below) or any of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Warrants
or the Transfer Agent Instructions (collectively, the "TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS"),
(y) have or result in a material adverse effect on the results of operations,
assets, prospects, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (z) adversely impair the Company's ability to
perform fully on a timely basis its obligations under any of the Transaction
Documents (any of (x), (y) or (z), a "MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT").
(b)
(c) AUTHORIZATION; ENFORCEMENT. The Company has the requisite corporate
power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions
contemplated by each of the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its
obligations thereunder. The execution and
delivery of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the
consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further
action is required by the Company. Each of the Transaction Documents has been
duly executed by the Company and, when delivered (or filed, as the case may
be) in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and
binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in
accordance with its terms. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in
violation of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles
of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational or charter documents.
(d)
(e) CAPITALIZATION. The number of authorized, issued and outstanding
capital stock of the Company is set forth in SCHEDULE 2.1(c). Except as
disclosed in SCHEDULE 2.1(c), the Company owns all of the capital stock or
equity interests of each Subsidiary. No shares of Common Stock are entitled to
preemptive or similar rights, nor is any holder of the Common Stock entitled to
preemptive or similar rights arising out of any agreement or understanding with
the Company by virtue of any of the Transaction Documents. Except as a result of
the purchase and sale of the Shares and the Warrants and except as disclosed in
SCHEDULE 2.1(c), there are no outstanding options, warrants, script rights to

(collectively, "LIENS"). The Company has on the date hereof and will, at all
times while the Shares and the Warrants are outstanding, maintain an adequate
reserve of duly authorized shares of Common Stock, reserved for issuance to the
holders of the Shares and the Warrants, to enable it to perform its conversion,
exercise and other obligations under this Agreement, the Certificate of
Designation and the Warrants. Such number of reserved and available shares of
Common Stock is not less than the sum of (i) 200% of the number of shares of
Common Stock which would be issuable upon conversion in full of the Shares on
the Closing Date, assuming that the Shares remain outstanding for five years and
that all accrued dividends are added to the Stated Value (as defined in the
Certificate of Designation) and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (such number of shares of Common Stock as
contemplated in clauses (i)-(ii), the "INITIAL MINIMUM"). All such authorized
shares of Common Stock shall be duly reserved for issuance to the holders of the
Shares and the Warrants. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Shares and upon exercise of the Warrants are collectively referred to herein
as the "UNDERLYING SHARES." The Shares, the Warrants and the Underlying Shares
are collectively referred to herein as, the "SECURITIES." When issued in

Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable,
free and clear of all Liens.

(i) NO CONFLICTS. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the

an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, to the Company or
pursuant to an available exemption from or in a transaction not subject to the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any
applicable federal and state securities laws. In connection with any transfer of
Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or to the
Company, except as otherwise set forth herein, the Company may require the
transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by

to register on the books of the Company and with any transfer agent for the
securities of the Company any transfer of Securities by a Purchaser to an
Affiliate of such Purchaser or to one or more funds or managed accounts under

other legend if the conversion of Shares and exercise of the Warrants or other
issuances of Underlying Shares as contemplated hereby or by the Certificate of
Designation or the Warrants occurs at any time while an Underlying Shares
Registration Statement is effective under the Securities Act or the holder is
relying on Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act ("RULE 144") in

the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue the legal opinion
included in the Transfer Agent Instructions to the Company's transfer agent on
the day that the Underlying Shares Registration Statement is declared effective
by the Commission (the "EFFECTIVE DATE"). The Company agrees that, in the event
any Underlying Shares are issued with a legend in accordance with this Section
3.1(b), it will, within three (3) Trading Days after request therefor by a
Purchaser, provide such Purchaser with a certificate or certificates
representing such Underlying Shares, free from such legend at such time as such
legend would not have been required under this Section 3.1(b) had such issuance
occurred on the date of such request. The Company may not make any notation on
its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company which
enlarge the restrictions of transfer set forth in this Section.
.1 3ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF DILUTION. The Company acknowledges that the
issuance of the Underlying Shares upon (i) conversion of the Shares in
accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation, and (ii) exercise
of the Warrants in accordance with their terms, will result in dilution of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under
certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligation
to issue Underlying Shares upon (x) conversion of the Shares in accordance with
the terms of the Certificate of Designation, and (y) exercise of the Warrants in
accordance with their terms, is unconditional and absolute, subject to the
limitations set forth herein, in the Certificate of Designation and the
Warrants, regardless of the effect of any such dilution.
3FURNISHING OF INFORMATION. As long as the Purchasers own
Securities, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in
respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports
required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. As long as the Purchasers own Securities,
if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such sections, it
will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and make publicly available in
accordance with Rule 144(c) promulgated under the Securities Act such
information as is required for the Purchasers to sell the Securities under
Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company further covenants
that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may
reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable
such Person to sell Underlying Shares without registration under the
Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act, including causing its attorneys to
render and deliver any legal opinion required in order to permit a Purchaser
to receive Underlying Shares free of all restrictive
legends and to subsequently sell Underlying Shares under Rule 144 upon
receipt of a notice of an intention to sell or other form of notice having a
similar effect, PROVIDED that such Person provides factual representations to
the Company with respect to its ability to rely on Rule 144. Upon the request
of any such Person, the Company shall deliver to such Person a written
certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with
such requirements.
.4
.5 3INTEGRATION. The Company shall not, and shall use its best efforts
to ensure that, no Affiliate of the Company shall, sell, offer for sale or
solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as
defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the
offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration
under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers.
.6 3INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES. If on any date the Company would be,
if a notice of conversion or exercise (as the case may be) were to be delivered
on such date, precluded from (a) issuing (a) 200% of the number of Underlying
Shares as would then be issuable upon a conversion in full of the Shares, and
(b) the number of Underlying Shares as would then be issuable upon a exercise in
full of the Warrants (the "CURRENT REQUIRED MINIMUM"), in either case, due to
the unavailability of a sufficient number of authorized but unissued or reserved
shares of Common Stock, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall
promptly prepare and mail to the stockholders of the Company proxy materials
requesting authorization to amend the Company's certificate or articles of
incorporation to increase the number of shares of Common Stock which the Company
is authorized to issue to at least such number of shares as reasonably requested
by the Purchasers in order to provide for such number of authorized and unissued
shares of Common Stock to enable the Company to comply with its issuance,
conversion, exercise and reservation of shares obligations as set forth in this
Agreement, the Certificate of Designation and the Warrants (the sum of (x) the
number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding plus all shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of all outstanding options, warrants and
convertible instruments, and (y) the Current Required Minimum, is deemed for
purposes hereof to be a reasonable number). In connection therewith, the Board
of Directors shall (a) adopt proper resolutions authorizing such increase, (b)
recommend to and otherwise use its best efforts to promptly and duly obtain
stockholder approval to carry out such resolutions (and hold a special meeting
of the stockholders no later than the earlier to occur of the 60th day after
delivery of the proxy materials relating to such meeting and the 90th day after
request by a holder of Securities to issue the number of Underlying Shares in
accordance with the terms hereof) and (c) within five Business Days of obtaining
such stockholder authorization, file an appropriate amendment to the Company's
certificate or articles of incorporation to evidence such increase. Management
of the Company shall also use its best efforts, including voting of all shares
of Common Stock held by management in favor of all resolutions to increase the
authorized stock of the Company hereunder.
(a) 3RESERVATION AND LISTING OF UNDERLYING SHARES. The Company shall (i)
in the time and manner required by any exchange, market or quotation system on
which the Common Stock is traded, prepare and file with such securities exchange
or market or trading or quotation facility on which the Common Stock is listed
an additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of Common
Stock which is not less than the Initial Minimum, (ii) take all steps necessary
to cause such shares of Common Stock to be approved for listing on any such
securities exchange or market or trading or quotation facility as soon as
possible thereafter, and (iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such
listing, and the Company shall maintain the listing of its Common Stock thereon.
If the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon conversion in full of the then
outstanding Shares and upon exercise in full of the then unexercised portion of
the Warrants exceeds 85% of the number of Underlying Shares previously listed on
account thereof, then, within three Business Days, the Company shall take the
necessary actions to immediately list a number of Underlying Shares as equals no
less than the then Current Required Minimum.
(b) The Company shall maintain a reserve of shares of Common Stock for
issuance upon the conversion in full of the Shares and exercise in full of the
Warrants in accordance with this Agreement, the Certificate of Designation and
the Warrants, respectively, in such amount as may be required to fulfill its
obligations in full under the Transaction Documents, which reserve shall equal
no less than the then Current Required Minimum.
.1 3 CONVERSION AND EXERCISE PROCEDURES. The Transfer Agent Instructions,
Conversion Notice (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) and Notice of
Exercise under the Warrants set forth the totality of the procedures with
respect to the conversion of the Shares and exercise of the Warrants, including
the form of legal opinion, if necessary, that shall be rendered to the Company's
transfer agent and such other information and instructions as may be reasonably
necessary to enable the Purchasers to convert their Shares and exercise their
Warrants as contemplated in the Certificate of Designation and the Warrants (as
applicable).
.2
.3 3CONVERSION AND EXERCISE OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. The Company shall
honor conversion of the Shares and exercise of the Warrants and shall deliver
Underlying Shares in accordance with the respective terms, conditions and time
periods set forth in the Certificate of Designation and Warrants.
.4
(a) 3 RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL; SUBSEQUENT REGISTRATIONS. The Company shall
not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the
Purchasers, offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of
(or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other
disposition) any of its or its Affiliates' equity or equity-equivalent
securities including the issuance of any debt or other instrument at any time
over the life thereof convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any
other transaction intended to be exempt or not subject to registration under the
Securities Act (collectively, a "SUBSEQUENT PLACEMENT") for a period of 180 days
after the Effective Date, PROVIDED, that such 180 day period shall be extended
for the number of Trading Days during such period (A) in which trading in the
Common Stock is
suspended by any securities exchange or market or quotation system on which
the Common Stock is then listed, or (B) during which the Underlying Shares
Registration Statement is not effective, or (C) during which the prospectus
included in the Underlying Shares Registration Statement may not be used by
the holders thereof for the resale of Underlying Shares, except (i) the
granting of options or warrants to employees, officers and directors, and the
issuance of shares upon exercise of options granted, under any stock option
plan heretofore or hereinafter duly adopted by the Company, (ii) shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any currently outstanding warrants and
upon conversion of any currently outstanding convertible securities of the
Company, in each case disclosed in SCHEDULE 2.1(c), except as with respect to
any amendment or modification thereto, and (iii) shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of Shares in accordance with the Certificate of
Designation and upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with their
respective terms, unless (A) the Company delivers to each of the Purchasers a
written notice (the "SUBSEQUENT PLACEMENT NOTICE") of its intention to effect
such Subsequent Placement, which Subsequent Placement Notice shall describe
in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Placement, the
amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder, the Person with whom
such Subsequent Placement shall be effected, and attached to which shall be a
term sheet or similar document relating thereto and (B) such Purchaser shall
not have notified the Company by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the tenth
Trading Day after its receipt of the Subsequent Placement Notice of its
willingness to provide (or to cause its sole designee to provide), subject to
completion of mutually acceptable documentation, financing to the Company on
the same terms set forth in the Subsequent Placement Notice. If the
Purchasers shall fail to so notify the Company within such time period, the
Company may effect the Subsequent Placement substantially upon the terms and
to the Persons (or Affiliates of such Persons) set forth in the Subsequent
Placement Notice; PROVIDED, that the Company shall provide the Purchasers
with a second Subsequent Placement Notice, and the Purchasers shall again
have the right of first refusal set forth above in this paragraph (a), if the
Subsequent Placement subject to the initial Subsequent Placement Notice shall
not have been consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such
Subsequent Placement Notice within thirty Trading Days after the date of the
initial Subsequent Placement Notice with the Person (or an Affiliate of such
Person) identified in the Subsequent Placement Notice. If the Purchasers
shall indicate a willingness to provide financing in excess of the amount set
forth in the Subsequent Placement Notice, then each Purchaser shall be
entitled to provide financing pursuant to such Subsequent Placement Notice up
to an amount equal to such Purchaser's pro-rata portion of the aggregate
number of Shares purchased by such Purchaser under this Agreement, but the
Company shall not be required to accept financing from the Purchasers in an
amount in excess of the amount set forth in the Subsequent Placement Notice.
(b)
(c) Except for (x) Underlying Shares, (y) other "Registrable Securities"
(as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) to be registered,
and securities of the Company permitted pursuant to Section 6(c) of the
Registration Rights Agreement to be registered, in the Underlying Shares
Registration Statement in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, and
(z) Common Stock permitted to be issued pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) - (iii) of
Section 3.9(a), the Company shall not, for a period of not less than 90 Trading
Days after the Effective Date, without the prior written consent of the
Purchasers (i) issue or sell any of its or
any of its Affiliates' equity or equity-equivalent securities pursuant to
Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act, or (ii) register any
securities of the Company. Any days after the Effective Date that a Purchaser
is unable to sell Underlying Shares under the Underlying Shares Registration
Statement shall be added to such 90 Trading Day period.
(d)
.5 3CERTAIN SECURITIES LAWS DISCLOSURES; PUBLICITY. The Company shall:
(i) on the Closing Date issue a press release acceptable to the Purchasers
disclosing the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) file with the Commission a
Report on Form 8-K disclosing the transactions contemplated hereby within ten
Business Days after the Closing Date, and (iii) timely file with the Commission
a Form D promulgated under the Securities Act as required under Regulation D
promulgated under the Securities Act and provide a copy thereof to the
Purchasers promptly after the filing thereof. The Company shall, no less than
two Business Days prior to the filing of any disclosure required by clauses (ii)
and (iii) above, provide a copy thereof to the Purchasers. No such filing or
disclosure may be made that mentions the Purchasers by name without the prior
consent of the Purchasers. The Company and the Purchasers shall consult with
each other in issuing any press releases or otherwise making public statements
or filings and other communications with the Commission or any regulatory agency
or stock market or trading facility with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby and neither party shall issue any such press release or
otherwise make any such public statement, filings or other communications
without the prior written consent of the other, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that no prior consent shall be required
if such disclosure is required by law, in which such case the disclosing party
shall provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement, filing
or other communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not
publicly disclose the names of the Purchasers, or include the names of the
Purchasers in any filing with the Commission, or any regulatory agency, trading
facility or stock market without the prior written consent of the Purchasers,
except to the extent such disclosure is required by law or the requirements of
Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, in which case the Company shall provide
the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure.
.6
.7 3 USE OF PROCEEDS. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the
sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital purposes and not for the
satisfaction of any portion of the Company's debt (other than payment of trade
payables in the ordinary course of the Company's business and prior practices),
to redeem any Company equity or equity-equivalent securities or to settle any
outstanding litigation.
.8
.9 3 REIMBURSEMENT. If any Purchaser, other than by reason of its
gross negligence or willful misconduct, becomes involved in any capacity in
any action, proceeding or investigation brought by or against any Person,
including stockholders of the Company, as a result of the acquisition of the
Securities, the Company will reimburse such Purchaser for its reasonable
legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and
preparation) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred.
In addition, other than with respect to any matter in which a Purchaser is a
named party, the Company will pay such Purchaser the charges, as reasonably
determined by such Purchaser, for the time of any officers or employees of
such Purchaser devoted to appearing and preparing to appear as witnesses,
assisting in preparation for
hearings, trials or pretrial matters, or otherwise with respect to inquiries,
hearings, trials, and other proceedings relating to the subject matter of
this Agreement. The reimbursement obligations of the Company under this
paragraph shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may
otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to any
Affiliates of the Purchasers who are actually named in such action,
proceeding or investigation, and partners, directors, agents, employees and
controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of the Purchasers and any
such Affiliate, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any
successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company, the
Purchasers and any such Affiliate and any such Person. The Company also
agrees that neither the Purchasers nor any such Affiliates, partners,
directors, agents, employees or controlling persons shall have any liability
to the Company or any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the
Company in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the
Transaction Documents except to the extent that any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses incurred by the Company result from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the applicable Purchaser or entity in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
.10 3CERTAIN TRADING RESTRICTIONS. Each Purchaser agrees that, until the
180th day following the Effective Date, it shall not enter into any Short Sales
(as defined herein). For purposes of this Section 3.13, a "Short Sale" by a
Purchaser shall mean a sale of Common Stock by such Purchaser that is marked as
a short sale and that is made at a time when there is no equivalent offsetting
long position in Common Stock held by the Purchaser. For purposes of determining
whether there is an equivalent offsetting long position in Common Stock held by
a Purchaser, Underlying Shares that are issuable on conversion of the Shares or
exercise of the Warrants (as the case may be) for which a conversion or exercise
notice (as the case may be) has been delivered by a Purchaser on or prior to a
Trading Day shall be deemed to be held long by such Purchaser on such Trading
Day.
.11

issuance of the Securities.

with the Exhibits and Schedules thereto and the Transfer Agent Instructions
contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersede all prior
agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters,

amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by
the Company and each of the Purchasers or, in the case of a waiver, by the party
against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought. No waiver of any default
with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall

assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced

govern all issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and its
stockholders. All other questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New
York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party
hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan, for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to
the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that
such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably
waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any
such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or
certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party

.13 4EXECUTION. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the
same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by
each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both
parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is
delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and
binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is
executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature
page were an original thereof.
.14
.15 4SEVERABILITY. In case any one or more of the provisions of this
Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and
enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree
upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a reasonable substitute
therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in
this Agreement.
.16
.17 4REMEDIES. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights
provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the
Purchasers will be entitled to specific performance of the obligations of the
Company under the Transaction Documents. The Company and each of the Purchasers
agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss
incurred by reason of any breach of its obligations described in the foregoing
sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of
any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
.18
.19 4INDEPENDENT NATURE OF PURCHASERS' OBLIGATIONS AND RIGHTS. The
obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document is 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 any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any
Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant 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 with respect to such obligations or
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Document. Each Purchaser shall
be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without
limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other
Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to
be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this provision or other provisions to this
Agreement to the contrary, the obligation of the Company to sell any Shares or
deliver any Warrants to any Purchaser shall be contingent upon the receipt of
the purchase price indicated below such Purchaser's name on the signature page
to this Agreement from all the Purchasers.
