corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and to
issue and sell the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. The execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation

Company. This Agreement constitutes, or when executed and delivered shall
constitute, a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against

Shares shall be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable,
and the Purchaser shall be entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common
Stock.
(e) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated herein does not (i) violate any provision of the Company's
Certificate or Bylaws, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event

cancellation of, any material agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture,
note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the
Company is a party, (iii) create or impose a lien, charge or encumbrance on any
property of the Company under any agreement or any commitment to which the

federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment or
decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable
to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of
the Company or any of its subsidiaries are bound or affected, except, in all
cases, for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, acceleration,
cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not required under federal, state

order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this

delivered or made available to the Purchaser true and complete copies of the

respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
of the Commission promulgated thereunder and other federal, state and local
laws, rules and regulations applicable to such document, and, as of its date,
such Form 10-KSB did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to

subsidiary. For the purposes of this Agreement, "subsidiary" shall mean any
corporation or other entity of which at least a majority of the securities or
other ownership interest having ordinary voting power (absolutely or
contingently) for the election of directors or other persons performing similar
functions are at the time owned directly or indirectly by the Company and/or any
of its other subsidiaries. Except as set forth in the Commission Documents or
the Commission Filings, none of such subsidiaries is a "significant subsidiary"

or otherwise) that would be required to be disclosed on a balance sheet of the
Company or any subsidiary (including the notes thereto) in conformity with GAAP
and are not disclosed in the Commission Documents or Commission Filings, other
than those incurred in the ordinary course of the Company's or its subsidiaries'
respective businesses since September 14, 2000 and which, individually or in the
aggregate, do not or would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
-7-
(j) No Undisclosed Events or Circumstances. No event or circumstance
has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its subsidiaries or their
respective businesses, properties, prospects, operations or financial condition,
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 and which, individually or in the aggregate, do not or would not have
a Material Adverse Effect.
(k) Indebtedness. The Commission Documents or the Commission Filings
set forth as of July 31, 2000 all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness
of the Company or any subsidiary, or for which the Company or any subsidiary has
commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Indebtedness" shall mean (a)
any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $100,000 (other

all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of
Indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in
the Company's balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by
endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar
transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (c) the present value of
any lease payments in excess of $100,000 due under leases required to be
capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary is

interests or other encumbrances. All leases of the Company and each of its
subsidiaries are valid and subsisting and in full force and effect in all
material respects.
(m) Actions Pending. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation or
proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the
Company or any subsidiary which questions the validity of this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or to be taken pursuant
hereto or thereto. Except as set forth in the Commission Documents or the
Commission Filings, there is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding
pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against or involving
the Company, any subsidiary or any of their respective properties or assets and
which, if adversely determined, is reasonably likely to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.
(n) Compliance with Law. The business of the Company and the
subsidiaries has been and is presently being conducted in accordance with all
applicable federal, state and local governmental laws, rules, regulations and
ordinances, except as set forth in the Commission Documents or the Commission
Filings or such that do not cause a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and
each of its subsidiaries have all franchises, permits, licenses, consents and
other governmental or regulatory authorizations and approvals necessary for the
conduct of its business as now being conducted by it, except for such
franchises, permits, licenses, consents and other governmental or regulatory
authorizations and approvals, the failure to possess which, individually or in
the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
-8-
(o) Certain Fees. No brokers, finders or financial advisory fees or
commissions shall be payable by the Company or any subsidiary with respect to
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(p) Disclosure. Neither this Agreement or the Schedules hereto nor any
other documents, certificates or instruments furnished to the Purchaser by or on
behalf of the Company or any subsidiary in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement contain any untrue statement of a material fact

herein or therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made
herein or therein, not misleading.
(q) Operation of Business. The Company or one of the subsidiaries owns
or possesses all patents, trademarks, domain names (whether or not registered)
and any patentable improvements or copyrightable derivative works thereof,
websites and intellectual property rights relating thereto, service marks, trade
names, copyrights, licenses and authorizations as set forth in the Commission
Documents or the Commission Filings and all rights with respect to the
foregoing, which are necessary for the conduct of its business as now conducted
without any conflict with the rights of others, except to the extent set forth
in the Commission Documents or that a Material Adverse Effect could not
reasonably be expected to result from such conflict.
(r) Environmental Compliance. The Company and each of its subsidiaries
have obtained all material approvals, authorization, certificates, consents,
licenses, orders and permits or other similar authorizations of all governmental
authorities, or from any other person, that are required under any Environmental

protection of the environment including, without limitation, all requirements
pertaining to reporting, licensing, permitting, controlling, investigating or
remediating emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of hazardous
substances, chemical substances, pollutants, contaminants or toxic substances,

distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of
hazardous substances, chemical substances, pollutants, contaminants or toxic
substances, material or wastes, whether solid, liquid or gaseous in nature.
Except for such instances as would not individually or in the aggregate have a
Material Adverse Effect, there are no past or present events, conditions,
circumstances, incidents, actions or omissions relating to or in any way
affecting the Company or its subsidiaries that violate or could violate any
Environmental Law after the Closing or that could give rise to any environmental
liability, or otherwise form the basis of any claim, action, demand, suit,
proceeding, hearing, study or investigation (i) under any Environmental Law, or
(ii) based on or related to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use,
treatment, storage (including without limitation underground storage tanks),
disposal, transport or handling, or the emission, discharge, release or

securities under the Securities Act immediately prior to the effectiveness of
this Agreement. The Company and each of its subsidiaries has in all material
respects performed all the obligations required to be performed by them to date

in default under any Material Agreement now in effect.

power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and to purchase the
Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement by Purchaser and the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action, and no further consent or authorization of the Purchaser, its
Board of Directors or stockholders is required. This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by the Purchaser. This Agreement constitutes a valid and
-11-
binding obligation of the Purchaser enforceable against the Purchaser in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation,
conservatorship, receivership, or similar laws relating to, or affecting
generally the enforcement of creditor's rights and remedies or by other
equitable principles of general application.

amendment, acceleration or cancellation of any material agreement, mortgage,
deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or
obligation to which the Purchaser is a party, (iii) create or impose any lien,

of any court or governmental agency applicable to the Purchaser or its
properties, except for such conflicts, defaults and violations as would not,
individually or in the aggregate, prohibit or otherwise interfere with the
ability of the Purchaser to enter into and perform its obligations under this
Agreement in any material respect. The Purchaser is not required 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 this Agreement or to purchase the Shares in accordance
with the terms hereof, provided that for purposes of the representation made in
this sentence, the Purchaser is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the
relevant representations and agreements of the Company herein.
(d) Information. The Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been
furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations
of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Shares which
have been requested by the Purchaser. The Purchaser and its advisors, if any,
have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. The
Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered
necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its
acquisition of the Shares. Purchaser understands that it (and not the Company)
shall be responsible for its own tax liabilities that may arise as a result of
this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(e) Acquisition for Investment. The Purchaser is purchasing the Shares
solely for its own account for the purpose of investment and not with a view to
or for sale in connection with a distribution. The Purchaser has no present
intention to sell the Shares, nor a present arrangement (whether or not legally
binding) to effect any distribution of the Shares to or through any person or
entity; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the
Purchaser does not agree to hold the Common Stock for any minimum or other
specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Common Stock at any time
in accordance with federal and state securities laws applicable to such
disposition.
-12-
(f) Sophisticated Investor. The Purchaser is a sophisticated investor
(as described in Rule 506(b) (2) (ii) of Regulation D) and an accredited
investor (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), and the Purchaser has such
experience in business and financial matters that it is capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of an investment in Common Stock. The Purchaser
acknowledges that an investment in the Common Stock is speculative and involves
a high degree of risk.
(g) General. The Purchaser understands that the Shares are being
offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration
requirement of federal and state securities laws and the Company is relying upon
the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to
determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of the
Purchaser to acquire the Shares.
(h) Ten Percent Limitation. On each Settlement Date, the number of
Shares then to be purchased by the Purchaser shall not exceed the number of such
shares that, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then owned by
the Purchaser beneficially or deemed beneficially owned by the Purchaser, would
result in the Purchaser owning more than 9.9% of all of such Common Stock as
would be outstanding on such Settlement Date, as determined in accordance with
Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder. For
purposes of this Section 3.2(h), in the event that the amount of Common Stock
outstanding as determined in accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act and
the regulations promulgated thereunder is greater on a Settlement Date than on
the date upon which the Draw Down Notice associated with such Settlement Date is
given, the amount of Common Stock outstanding on such Settlement Date shall
govern for purposes of determining whether the Purchaser, when aggregating all
purchases of Common Stock made pursuant to this Agreement would own more than
9.9% of the Common Stock following such Settlement Date.

statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement or the

Registration Statement, the Company shall make commercially reasonable efforts

any amendment or supplement thereto) in accordance with the provisions of the
Securities Act and with the securities or Blue Sky laws of the jurisdictions in
which the Shares may be sold by the Purchaser, in connection with the offering
and sale of the Shares and for such period of time thereafter as the Prospectus
is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales of
the Shares. If during such period of time any event shall occur that in the
judgment of the Company or in the opinion of counsel for the Purchaser is
required to be set forth in the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) or
should be set forth therein in order to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it
is necessary to supplement or amend the Prospectus to comply with the Securities
Act or any other law, the Company shall forthwith prepare and, subject to the
provisions of Section 4.10 above, file with the Commission an appropriate

Draw Down Terms
Section 6.1 Draw Down Terms. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:
(a) During the Investment Period, the Company, may, in its sole
discretion, issue up to twelve (12) Draw Down Notices, each with respect to a
draw down (a "Draw Down"), which Draw Down the Purchaser shall be obligated to
accept, of a Draw Down Amount equal to $200,000 if the Threshold Price is equal
to or greater than $2.00, and an additional $100,000 for every $1.00 increase of
the Threshold Price above $2.00. The maximum Threshold Price shall be $10.00 for
a maximum Draw Down Amount of up to $1,000,000. The minimum Threshold Price
shall be $2.00 (unless otherwise agreed upon by both parties) for a minimum Draw
Down Amount of $200,000. Prior to issuing any Draw Down Notice, the Company
shall have Shares representing at least the Draw Down Amount registered under
the Registration Statement.
(b) The number of Shares to be issued in connection with each Draw
Down shall be equal to the sum of the quotients (for each trading day of the
Draw Down Pricing Period for which the VWAP equals or exceeds the Threshold
Price) of (x) 1/20th (or such other fraction based upon the agreed upon Draw
Down Pricing Period) of the Draw Down Amount divided by (y) (A) the applicable
Draw Down Discount Percentage multiplied by (B) the VWAP for such day.
(c) Only one Draw Down shall be allowed in each Draw Down Pricing
Period. Each Draw Down Pricing Period shall consist of two (2) periods of ten
(10) consecutive trading days beginning on the date set forth in the Draw Down
Notice as the Draw Down Pricing Period start date (each, a "Settlement Period").
(d) The number of Shares purchased by the Purchaser with respect to
each Draw Down shall be determined on a daily basis during each Draw Down
Pricing Period and settled on the second business day following the end of each
Settlement Period (the "Settlement Date").
(e) There shall be a minimum of five (5) trading days (or such other

between Draw Downs. (f) There shall be a maximum of twelve (12) Draw Downs
during the term of this Agreement.
(g) Each Draw Down shall expire on the last trading day of each Draw
Down Pricing Period.

VWAP is at or above the Threshold Price, 1/20th (or such other fraction based
upon the agreed upon Draw Down Pricing Period) of the Draw Down Amount shall be
allocated to purchase Shares at a price equal to the product of (w) the Draw
-20-
Down Discount Percentage multiplied by (x) the VWAP for such day. If the VWAP on
a given trading day is less than the Threshold Price, then the amount of the
Draw Down for the relevant Draw Down Pricing Period shall be reduced by 1/20th
(or such other fraction based upon the agreed upon Draw Down Pricing Period). At
no time shall the Threshold Price be set below $2.00, unless otherwise agreed
upon by both parties. If in any trading day, (y) there are no reported trades of
the Company's Common Stock, or (z) trading in the Company's Common Stock is

as to the Draw Down Amount the Company wishes to exercise before commencement of
trading on the first trading day of the Draw Down Pricing Period (the "Draw Down
Notice"), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. In addition to
the Draw Down Amount, the Company shall set the Threshold Price and shall
designate the first trading day of the Draw Down Pricing Period with each Draw
Down Notice.

account by wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided that the
Shares are received by the Purchaser no later than 1:00 p.m., eastern time, or
next day available funds if the Shares are received thereafter.

to be purchased by the Purchaser, and such failure continues for ten (10)
trading days, the Company shall pay, in cash or restricted shares of Common
Stock (subject to the Company's compliance with applicable securities laws), at
the option of the Purchaser, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, to the
Purchaser an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the Draw Down Amount for the
initial thirty (30) days and each additional thirty (30) day period thereafter
until such failure has been cured, which shall be pro rated for such periods
less than thirty (30) days (the "Periodic Amount"). Cash payments to be made
pursuant to this Section 6.1(k) shall be due and payable immediately upon demand
in immediately available cash funds. Certificates evidencing the restricted
shares of Common Stock shall be delivered immediately upon demand. The parties
agree that the Periodic Amount represents a reasonable estimate on the part of
the parties, as of the date of this Agreement, of the amount of damages that may
be incurred by the Purchaser if the Company fails to deliver the Shares on the
Settlement Date. If the Purchaser elects to receive shares of Common Stock
instead of cash, the Purchaser shall have the right to demand registration once
within twelve (12) months of the date of issuance of such shares of Common Stock
and piggyback registration rights if the Company files a separate registration
statement.
(l) Prior to issuing a Draw Down Notice, the Company shall place in
escrow, with an entity designated by the Purchaser (the "Escrow Agent"), such
number of shares of Common Stock as shall equal the maximum number of Shares
which the Purchaser could purchase during the Draw Down Pricing Period. The
shares of Common Stock subject to the escrow shall be released by the Escrow
-21-
Agent to the Purchaser only in the event that the Company fails to deliver the
Shares on the relevant Settlement Date. The Purchaser's obligation to purchase
the Shares to be issued on the Settlement Date shall be contingent upon the
fulfillment by the Company of the escrow requirements contained in this Section
6.1(l). The Purchaser may, at its sole discretion, waive the escrow requirements
contained in this Section 6.1(l) at any time prior to the relevant Settlement
Date.
ARTICLE VII
Legends
Section 7.1 Legend. Unless otherwise provided below, each certificate
representing the Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially
in the following form (the "Legend"):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE
"SECURITIES") HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") OR ANY STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR
OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR GLOBUS
WIRELESS, LTD. (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.
As soon as practicable after the execution and delivery hereof, the Company
shall issue to the transfer agent instructions in substantially the form of
Exhibit D hereto. Such instructions shall be irrevocable by the Company from and
after the date thereof or from and after the issuance thereof. It is the intent
and purpose of such instructions, as provided therein, to require the transfer
agent to issue to the Purchaser, at the Purchaser's option, via DWAC or in the
form of certificates evidencing the Shares incident to a Draw Down and issued on
a Settlement Date, free of the Legend, without consultation by the transfer
agent with the Company or its counsel and without the need for any further
advice or instruction or documentation to the Transfer Agent by or from the
Company or its counsel or the Purchaser; provided, that (a) the Registration
Statement shall then be effective, (b) the Purchaser confirms to the transfer
agent and the Company that it has or intends to sell such Shares to a third
party that is not an affiliate of the Purchaser or the Company and the Purchaser
agrees to redeliver the certificate representing such Shares to the transfer
agent to add the Legend in the event the Shares are not sold, and (c) if
reasonably requested by the transfer agent or the Company, the Purchaser
confirms to the transfer agent and the Company that the Purchaser has complied
with the prospectus delivery requirement under the Securities Act. At any time
after the date the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the
Commission, upon surrender of one or more certificates evidencing Common Stock
-22-
that bear the Legend, to the extent accompanied by a notice requesting the
issuance of new certificates free of the Legend to replace those surrendered,
the transfer agent shall reissue such shares of common stock via DWAC or free of
the Legend. If the transfer agent fails to deliver the Shares on the Settlement
Date, then the Company shall pay liquidated damages to the Purchaser in the
amount of two percent (2%) of the purchase price of the Shares to be delivered
on such Settlement Date.
Section 7.2 No Other Legend or Stock Transfer Restrictions. No legend
other than the one specified in Section 7.1 has been or shall be placed on the
share certificates representing the Shares and the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and no instructions or "stop transfer
orders," so called, "stock transfer restrictions," or other restrictions have
been or shall be given to the Company's transfer agent with respect thereto
other than as expressly set forth in this Article VII.
Section 7.3 Purchaser's Compliance. Nothing in this Article VII shall
affect in any way the Purchaser's obligations under any agreement to comply with
all applicable securities laws upon resale of the Shares and the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.
ARTICLE VIII
Termination
Section 8.1 Termination by Mutual Consent. The term of this Agreement
shall be the earlier of (i) fifteen (15) months from the date on which the
Commission declares the Registration Statement effective (the "Investment
Period") and (ii) the date that all of the Shares registered under the
Registration Statement have been issued and sold. This Agreement may be
terminated at any time by mutual consent of the parties.
Section 8.2 Other Termination. The Purchaser may terminate this
Agreement upon one (1) day's notice (v) if an event resulting in a Material
Adverse Effect has occurred, (w) the Registration Statement is not declared
effective within 150 days following the Filing Date, (x) there shall occur any
stop order or suspension of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for
an aggregate of five (5) trading days during the Investment Period, for any
reason other than deferrals or suspension during a blackout period as a result
of corporate developments subsequent to the Closing Date that would require such
Registration Statement to be amended to reflect such event in order to maintain
its compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Securities Act, or (y)
the Company shall at any time fail to comply with the requirements of Section
4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 hereof. This Agreement shall terminate immediately if (i) the
Company breaches Section 4.7 hereof, (ii) a Material Change in Ownership shall
occur or (iii) the Purchaser shall fail to comply with Section 3.2(h) (each, a
"Terminating Event"); provided, however, that if a Terminating Event occurs
during a Draw Down Pricing Period, this Agreement shall terminate on the final
Settlement Date for such Draw Down Pricing Period.
Section 8.3 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination by the
Company or the Purchaser, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the
other party and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be
-23-
terminated without further action by either party. If this Agreement is
terminated as provided in Section 8.1 or 8.2 herein, this Agreement shall become
void and of no further force and effect, except as provided in Section 10.9.
Nothing in this Section 8.3 shall be deemed to release the Company or the
Purchaser from any liability for any breach under this Agreement, or to impair
the rights of the Company and the Purchaser to compel specific performance by
the other party of its obligations under this Agreement.
ARTICLE IX
Indemnification
Section 9.1 General Indemnity.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the
Exchange Act from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
expenses (including reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all
reasonable attorney's fees) to which the Purchaser and each person, if any, who
controls the Purchaser may become subject, under the Securities Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon, (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained, or
incorporated by reference, in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus
relating to the shares being sold to the Purchaser, or any amendment or
supplement to it, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in that
Registration Statement or any document incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement, a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, provided that the
Company shall not be liable under this Section 9.1(a) to the extent that a court
of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgment that such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action resulted directly from any such acts or
failures to act, undertaken or omitted to be taken by the Purchaser or such
person through its bad faith or willful misconduct; provided, however, that the
foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or
expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
the Company by the Purchaser expressly for use in the Registration Statement,
any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto).
The Company shall reimburse the Purchaser and each such controlling
person promptly upon demand for any legal or other costs or expenses reasonably
incurred by the Purchaser or the controlling person in investigating, defending
against, or preparing to defend against any such claim, action, suit or
proceeding, except that the Company shall not be liable to the extent a claim or
action which results in a loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out
of, or is based upon, an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or
alleged omission, included in the Registration Statement or any Prospectus in
reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished by the
Purchaser to the Company for inclusion in the Registration Statement or
Prospectus.
-24-
(b) Indemnification by the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers, and each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act from and against any
expenses (including reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all
reasonable attorneys fees) to which the Company and any director or officer of
the Company and each person, if any, who controls the Company may become
subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of
or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Prospectus or (ii) the omission or alleged
omission to state in the Registration Statement or any Prospectus a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, the untrue statement,
alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission was made in reliance
upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished by the Purchaser to
the Company for inclusion in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, and the
Purchaser shall reimburse the Company and each such director, officer or
controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other costs or expenses
reasonably incurred by the Company or the other person in investigating,
defending against, or preparing to defend against any such claim, action, suit
or proceeding.
Section 9.2 Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after a person
receives notice of a claim or the commencement of an action for which the person
intends to seek indemnification under paragraph (a) or (b) of Section 9.1, the
person shall notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or
commencement of the action, suit or proceeding, but failure to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from liability under
paragraph (a) or (b) of Section 9.1, except to the extent it has been materially
prejudiced by the failure to give notice. The indemnifying party shall be
entitled to participate in the defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding
as to which indemnification is being sought, and if the indemnifying party
acknowledges in writing the obligation to indemnify the party against whom the
claim or action is brought, the indemnifying party may (but shall not be
required to) assume the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding
with counsel satisfactory to it. After an indemnifying party notifies an
indemnified party that the indemnifying party wishes to assume the defense of a
claim, action, suit or proceeding the indemnifying party shall not be liable for
any legal or other expenses incurred by the indemnified party in connection with
the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding except that if, in the
opinion of counsel to the indemnifying party, one or more of the indemnified
parties should be separately represented in connection with a claim, action,
suit or proceeding the indemnifying party shall pay the reasonable fees and
expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified parties. Each indemnified
party, as a condition to receiving indemnification as provided in Paragraph (a)
or (b) or Section 9.1, shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the
indemnifying party in the defense of any action or claim as to which
indemnification is sought. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any
settlement of any action effected without its prior written consent. No
indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
party, effect any settlement of a pending or threatened action with respect to
which an indemnified party is, or is informed that it may be, made a party and
for which it would be entitled to indemnification, unless the settlement
includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability
and claims which are the subject matter of the pending or threatened action.
-25-
If for any reason the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is not
available to, or is not sufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party in
respect of any loss or liability referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of Section
9.1, each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified
party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a
result of the loss or liability, (i) in the proportion which is appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand
and by the indemnified party on the other from the sale of stock which is the
subject of the claim, action, suit or proceeding which resulted in the loss or
liability or (ii) if that allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits of the
sale of stock, but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party with respect to the statements or omissions which are the
subject of the claim, action, suit or proceeding that resulted in the loss or
liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
ARTICLE X

proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for
notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute

entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered hereby

same instrument and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by

unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or part of a provision of
this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be reformed and construed as if such
invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision, or part of such provision, had
never been contained herein, so that such provisions would be valid, legal and
enforceable to the maximum extent possible.

OPINION OF COUNSEL
1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company has the
requisite corporate power to own and operate its properties and assets, and to
carry on its business as presently conducted. The Company and each such
subsidiary is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in
good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business
conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary.
2. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter
into and perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and to issue and
sell the Common Stock, the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants (the "Warrant Shares"). The execution, delivery and performance
of the Purchase Agreement by the Company and the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all
necessary corporate action and no further consent or authorization of the
Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is required. The Purchase
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered, and the Common Stock and the
Warrants have been duly executed, issued and delivered by the Company and the
Purchase Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its respective terms.
The Common Stock is not subject to preemptive rights under the Company's
certificate of incorporation or bylaws.
3. The Common Stock and the Warrants have been duly authorized and the
Common Stock, when delivered against payment in full as provided in the Purchase
Agreement, shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Warrants
Shares have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance, and, when delivered
upon exercise or against payment in full as provided in the Warrants, shall be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
4. The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with the terms
of the Purchase Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the
transactions contemplated thereby do not (i) violate any provision of the
Company's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, (ii) conflict with, or
constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both
would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, mortgage,
deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or
obligation to which the Company is a party, (iii) create or impose a lien,
charge or encumbrance on any property of the Company under any agreement or any
commitment to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or
by which any of its respective properties or assets are bound, or (iv) result in
a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation,
order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and
regulations) applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or by which
any property or asset of the Company or any of its subsidiaries are bound or
affected, except, in all cases other than violations pursuant to clause (i) or
(with respect to any federal or state securities laws and regulations) clause
(iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments,
acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
5. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding pending or
threatened against the Company or any subsidiary which questions the validity of
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or to
be taken pursuant hereto or thereto. There is no action, suit, claim,
investigation or proceeding pending or, to our knowledge, threatened, against or
involving the Company, any subsidiary or any of their respective properties or
assets and which, if adversely determined, is reasonably likely to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.
6. No consent, approval or authorization of or designation, declaration or
filing with any governmental authority on the part of the Company is required in
connection with the valid execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement, or
the offer, sale or issuance of the Common Stock and the Warrants or the
consummation of any other transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement
(other than any filings which may be required to be made by the Company with the
Commission, or the OTC Bulletin Board or an Alternate Market subsequent to the
Closing, and, any registration statement which may be filed pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement).
7. The offer, issuance and sale of the Common Stock and the Warrants
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares to
the Purchaser, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement shall be exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Rule 4(2)
and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
8. The Company is not a "holding company" or a "public utility company" as
such terms are defined in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as
amended. The Company is not, and as a result of and immediately upon Closing
shall not be, an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an
"investment company," within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended.
