condition.

4

and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated herein
and

governmental entity, except for possible violations which singularly or in
the
aggregate do not and will not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is
not
required under Federal, state or local law, rule or regulation to obtain any
consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with,
any
court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform
any
of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, or issue and sell the
Preferred Shares, the Warrants, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares

authorization or order that has been obtained as of the date hereof, (y) any
filing or registration that has been made as of the date hereof or (z) any
filings which may be required to be made by the Company with the Commission

accrued, contingent or otherwise) other than those incurred in the ordinary
course of the Company’s or its subsidiaries respective businesses since December
31, 2007 and which, individually or in the aggregate, do not or would not have

Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder approval
provisions, nor will the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take
any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Shares to be integrated
with other offerings. The Company does not have any registration statement

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 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. The Company acknowledges that for reasons of administrative convenience
only, the Transaction Documents have been reviewed by counsel for one of the
Purchasers and such counsel does not represent all of the Purchasers but only
such Purchaser and the other Purchasers have retained their own individual
counsel with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company

depreciation, depletion, obsolescence, amortization, taxes, bad debts and other
purposes in connection with its business shall be made.
Section
3.5 Reporting
Requirements.
If the
Commission ceases making periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act available
via the Internet, then at a Purchaser’s request the Company shall furnish the
following to such Purchaser so long as such Purchaser shall beneficially own
any
Shares:
(a) Quarterly
Reports filed with the Commission on Form 10-QSB as soon as practical after
the
document is filed with the Commission, and in any event within five (5) days
after the document is filed with the Commission;

So long
as any Preferred Shares 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 unless such dividends or distributions are also simultaneously
paid
or made to the holders of the Preferred Shares on an as-converted basis or
(ii)
purchase or otherwise acquire for value, directly or indirectly, any Common
Stock or other equity security of the Company.
Section
3.8 Reservation
of Shares.
So long
as any of the Preferred Shares or Warrants remain outstanding, the Company
shall
take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for
the
purpose of issuance, no less than one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the issuance
of
the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares.
18
Section
3.9 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 Preferred Shares or exercise of the
Warrants in the form of Exhibit
G
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 3.9 will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and
that
the 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

counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that a public sale,
assignment or transfer of the Shares may be made without registration under
the
Securities Act or the Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurances
that such Shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as
to
the number of securities acquired as of a particular date that can then be
immediately sold, 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 that a breach by it of its obligations under this Section 3.9
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 3.9 will
be
inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the
Company of the provisions of this Section 3.9, 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
3.10 Disposition
of Assets.
So long
as any Preferred Shares remain outstanding, neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties,
assets and rights including, without limitation, its software and intellectual
property, to any person except for (i) sales to customers in the ordinary course
of business (ii) sales or transfers between the Company and its Subsidiaries
or
between Subsidiaries of the Company, (iii) sales or transfers between the
Company, any of its Subsidiaries or (iv) otherwise with the prior written
consent of the holders of a majority of the Preferred Shares then
outstanding.
Section

as a Purchaser beneficially owns any of the Shares, the Company shall timely
file all reports required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the
Exchange Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer
required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or
the
rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination.

Date in an escrow account to be used by the Company in connection with investor

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 Shares and the
Warrants in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities
Act of the sale of the Shares and the Warrants to the Investors, or that would
be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares and the Warrants for purposes
of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market in a manner that would
require stockholder approval of the sale of the Shares and the Warrants to
the
Investors.

Section
3.17 Subsequent
Financings
(a)
Until
December 31, 2009, 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”)
each
holder of Preferred Shares (each, a “Preferred
Stockholder”
and
collectively the “Preferred
Stockholders”)
of the
terms and conditions of any proposed offer or sale to, or exchange with (or
other type of distribution to) any third party, of Common Stock, any debt or
equity securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock
or
any debt securities (a “Subsequent
Financing”);
provided,
however,
prior
to delivering to each Preferred Stockholder a Rights Notice, the Company shall
first deliver to each Preferred Stockholder a written notice of its intention
to
effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”)
within
three (3) Trading Days of receiving an applicable offer, which Pre-Notice shall
ask such Preferred Stockholder if it wants to review the details of such
financing. Upon the request of a Preferred Stockholder, and only upon a request
by such Preferred Stockholder within three (3) Trading Days of receipt of a
Pre-Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no later than two (2) Trading Days
after such request, deliver a Rights Notice to such Preferred Stockholder.
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 (if known), the proposed closing date of the Subsequent
Financing, which shall be no earlier than ten (10) Trading 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 Preferred Stockholder 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 Preferred Stockholder 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 Preferred Stockholder elects not to
participate in such Subsequent Financing, the other Preferred Stockholders
may
participate on a pro-rata basis. For purposes of this Section, all references
to
“pro rata” means, for any Preferred Stockholder electing to participate in such
Subsequent Financing, the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the number of
Preferred Shares held by such Preferred Stockholder at the Initial Closing
plus
the number of Preferred Shares purchased at any Additional Closing, by (y)
the
total number of all of the Preferred Shares issued hereunder. 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 Preferred Stockholder within the Option Period, the
Company shall have the 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 Preferred Stockholder in the Rights Notice. If the closing
of
the proposed Subsequent Financing does not occur 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 3.17(a), including, without
limitation, the delivery of a new Rights Notice. The provisions of this Section
3.17(a) shall not apply to issuances of securities in a Permitted
Financing.
22
(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 of this Agreement or issued pursuant to this Agreement or
any
of the other Transaction Documents (so long as the conversion or exercise price
in such securities are not amended to lower such price and/or adversely affect
the Purchasers), (iii) 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, (iv) Common Stock issued or the
issuance or grants of options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s
Stock Option Plan (as defined below), and (v) any warrants issued to the
placement agent, financial advisors and their respective designees for the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
(c) Nothing
herein shall prohibit the Company from establishing an employee stock option,
restricted stock or other form of equity incentive plan “Stock
Option Plan”) reserving
a number of shares not to exceed ten percent (10%) in the aggregate of the
total
number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, Conversion Shares
issuable upon conversion of all outstanding Preferred Stock and shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of all outstanding warrants (but not including
shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of options issued pursuant to a
Stock Option Plan), for employees, officers or directors of the Company;
provided, however, that such Stock Option Plan or Plans must (i) be approved
by
the Board; (ii) require that the exercise or strike price be no less than the
Warrant Exercise price, as adjusted; (iii) provide at a minimum a three(or
whatever longer period is required by listing exchange) year vesting schedule;
and (iv) provide that options or similar rights for no more than 35% of the
total number of Shares that may be issued thereunder may be issued to any one
person; and provided further that, so long as the Preferred Shares and shares
of
Common Stock issued upon conversion of Preferred Shares still held by the
original holders or their affiliates (the “Holders”) equals at least 25% of the
initial Preferred Shares issued by the Company (the “Minimum Holding”), the
Company shall not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written
consent, as provided by law) of the holders of at least seventy-five percent
(75%) of the then outstanding Preferred Shares, voting as a separate
class:
(i)
on

and, provided further, that, subject to such limitation, the Company may issue
New Equity during the 2008 Period up to a maximum of 3% of the Outstanding
Account, if the Company achieves at least 150% of the “2007 Threshold.”

Outstanding Amount, if the Company achieves at least 100% and 149% of the “2008
Threshold,” as defined below; and provided further that, subject to such
limitation, the Company may issue New Equity during 2009 up to a maximum of
3%
of the Outstanding Amount, if the Company achieves at least 150% of the “2008

Certificate Legend
Section
5.1 Legend.
Each
certificate representing the Preferred Shares and the Warrants, and, if
appropriate, securities issued upon conversion thereof, 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):
THESE
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 THE COMPANY 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.
28
The
Company agrees to 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 securities, 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 the 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, or (iv) the holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances
that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act;
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, or (ii) compliance with applicable
state securities or “blue sky” laws has been effected or a valid exemption
exists with respect thereto. The Company will respond to any such notice from
a
holder within five (5) business days. In the case of any proposed transfer
under
this Section 5.1, the Company will use reasonable efforts to comply with any
such applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, but 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 that a registration statement under the Securities
Act
providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares and Conversion Shares is then
in
effect), the Company may cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit
the
Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares to a Purchaser by crediting the account
of
such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s Prime Broker with the Depository Trust
Company (“DTC”)
through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”)
system
(to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this
Agreement).
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that an Investor may from time to time pledge,
and/or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities pursuant
to a
bona fide margin agreement in connection with a bona fide margin account and,
if
required under the terms of such agreement or account, such Investor may
transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties.
Such
a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval or consent of the Company
and no legal opinion of legal counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor
shall be required in connection with the pledge, but such legal opinion may
be
required in connection with a subsequent transfer following default by the
Investor transferee of the pledge. No notice shall be required of such pledge.
At the appropriate Investor’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such
reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may
reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer thereof including
the
preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule
424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities
Act to appropriately amend the list of selling stockholders thereunder. Except
as otherwise provided in Section 5.1, any Securities subject to a pledge or
security interest as contemplated by this Section 5.1 shall continue to bear
the
legend set forth in this Section 5.1 and be subject to the restrictions on
transfer set forth in Section 5.1.
29
Certificates
or instruments evidencing Securities shall not contain any legend (including
the
legend set forth in Section 5.1): (i) following their disposition pursuant
to an
effective registration statement (including the Registration Statement with
respect to the Shares and the Warrant Shares), or (ii) following a sale or
transfer of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferee is
not
an Affiliate of the Company), or (iii) while such Securities are eligible for
sale by the selling Investor without volume restrictions under Rule 144. If
an
Investor shall make a sale or transfer of Securities either (x) pursuant to
Rule
144 or (y) pursuant to a registration statement and in each case shall have
delivered to the Company or the Transfer Agent the certificate or instrument
representing the applicable Securities containing a restrictive legend which
are
the subject of such sale or transfer and a representation letter in customary
form (the
date
of such sale or transfer and Securities delivery being the “Share Delivery
Date”) and (1) the Company shall fail to deliver or cause to be delivered to
such Investor a certificate or instrument representing such Securities that
is
free from all restrictive or other legends by the fifth Trading Day following
the Share Delivery Date and (2) following such fifth Trading Day after the
Share
Delivery Date and prior to the time such Securities are received free from
restrictive legends, the Investor, or any third party on behalf of such
Investor, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of
Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of such
Securities (a "Buy-In"), then, in addition to any other rights available to
the
Investor under the Transaction Documents and applicable law, the Company shall
pay in cash to the Investor (for costs incurred either directly by such Investor
or on behalf of a third party) the amount by which the total purchase price
paid
for Common Stock as a result of the Buy-In (including brokerage commissions,
if
any) exceed the proceeds received by such Investor as a result of the sale
to
which such Buy-In relates. The Investor shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Investor in respect of the Buy-In. The
Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any
transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set
forth in this Section.

Indemnification
Section
6.1 General
Indemnity.
The
Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers (and their
respective directors, officers, managers, partners, members, shareholders,
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 a 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 VII 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 matters 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 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 indemnified party
a
conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying party may exist with
respect of such action, proceeding or claim, 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 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 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 irrevocably agrees to 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.

not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is
not
personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that the suit, action
or

Ladies

Reference
is made to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase
Agreement”),
dated
as of April 10, 2008, by and among …………………………, a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”),
and
the purchasers named therein (collectively, the “Purchasers”)
pursuant to which the Company is issuing to the Purchasers shares of its Series
A Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, (the
“Preferred
Shares”)
and
warrants (the “Warrants”)
to
purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.0001 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 Preferred Shares (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 I and Exhibit II,
respectively, (ii) in the case of the conversion of Preferred Shares, a
copy of the certificates (with the original certificates delivered to the
Company) representing Preferred Shares 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 share certificates 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 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 those items and representations listed
above, then the certificates for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares
shall bear the following legend:
45
“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
THE
COMPANY 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

Re:

Ladies
and Gentlemen:
We
are
counsel to Aamaxan Transport Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”),
and
have represented the Company in connection with that certain Series A Senior
Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase
Agreement”),
dated
as of April 10, 2008, by and among the Company and the purchasers named therein
(collectively, the “Purchasers”)
pursuant to which the Company issued to the Purchasers shares of its Series
A
Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, (the
“Preferred
Shares”)
and
warrants (the “Warrants”)
to
purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.0001 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 April 10, 2008, 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
Preferred Shares 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 April 10, 2008, the Company filed a Registration Statement on
Form
SB-2 (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, | |
