for
taxes on the assets of the Issuer or any subsidiary and there are
no

returns
of the Issuer or any subsidiary (whether federal, state, local or

of

assessment, claim or liability for taxes due or to become due in
connection with any review or examination of the tax returns of the
Issuer
or each of its subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any
predecessor companies) filed for any year which would have a material
adverse effect on the assets or properties, business, results of
operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Issuer (on
a
consolidated basis).

accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that:

or
specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary
to
permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability,

bound.
|
(m)
|
Non-Contravention.

of the issuance of the Securities and the transactions contemplated
by

or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other material agreement
or
instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which it or any of
its
properties or assets are bound, or any existing applicable decree,
judgment or order of any court, federal or state regulatory body,
administrative agency or other domestic governmental body having
jurisdiction over the Issuer or any of its properties or assets.

|
(c)
|

Except as set forth below, “New

shall mean any shares of capital stock of the Issuer, including Common
Stock and preferred stock, whether or not now authorized, and rights,
options or warrants to purchase said shares of Common Stock or preferred
stock and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may by their

Securities”
shall not include the following:
|
(i)
|
Common
Stock, or options or other rights to purchase Common Stock, issued
or
granted to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the

|
(ii)
|
shares
of Common Stock or other securities issued as a dividend or distribution

|
(iii)
|
securities

|
Procedure.
In the event the Issuer proposes to undertake an issuance of New
Securities, it shall give the Investor written notice (the “Issuer
Notice”)
of its intention, describing the amount and type of New Securities
to be
issued, and the price and terms upon which the Issuer proposes to
issue
the same. The Investor shall have 20 days from the deemed date of
receipt of the Issuer Notice to exercise the Investor’s Right of First
Offer to purchase up to the Investor’s respective Pro Rata Share of such
New Securities for the price and upon the terms specified in the
Issuer
Notice by delivering written notice (the “Right
of First Offer Election Notice”)
to the Issuer and stating therein the quantity of New Securities
to be
purchased.
|
Settlement
for the New Securities to be purchased by the Investor pursuant to this
Section 5.3(d) shall be made in cash within 20 days from the
Investors’ deemed date of receipt of the Issuer Notice; provided,
however,
that if
the terms of payment for the New Securities specified in the Issuer Notice
were
other than cash against delivery, the Investor shall pay in cash to the Issuer
the fair market value of such consideration as mutually agreed upon by the
Issuer the Investor or, if no such agreement is reached, as determined by the
Issuer’s Board of Directors, which determination shall be final, within five
days of such determination if such determination is made after 15 days
following receipt of the Issuer Notice.
The
Issuer shall have 120 days after the deemed receipt of the Issuer Notice to
sell the New Securities not elected to be purchased by the Investor at the
price
and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers of such securities than
specified in the Issuer Notice. In the event the Issuer has not sold some or
all
of the New Securities within such 120-day period, the Issuer shall not
thereafter issue or sell any unsold New Securities without first offering such
securities to the Investor in the manner provided above.
If
the
Investor shall have failed to deliver to the Issuer its Right of First Offer
Election Notice within the time periods described in this Section 5.3(d),
the Investor shall be deemed to have waived its Right of First Offer as to
such
financing to which such notice pertains.
(e)
|
Termination
and Assignment.
The Right of First Offer granted in this Section 5.3 shall expire
upon the
12 month anniversary of the Closing Date. The Right of First Offer
is
non-assignable except to any transferee to whom registration rights
may be
transferred pursuant to Section 9(f) of the Registration Rights
Agreement.
|
(f)
|
Issuer
Right to Terminate Issuance of New Securities.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may in its sole discretion
terminate any proposed issuance of New Securities in respect of which
the
Issuer has given Issuer Notice, at any time prior to the consummation
thereof. The foregoing provision shall apply even in the event the
Investor shall have exercised its Rights of First Offer hereunder;
provided,
however,
that no New Securities covered by the applicable Issuer Notice shall
then
have been issued.
|
5.4 Dilutive
Issuances
If
at any
time before the 12 month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Issuer issues
or
sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, any New Securities for a
consideration per share (the “New
Issuance Price”)
less
than $0.28 (the foregoing a “Dilutive
Issuance”),
then
immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Issuer shall promptly issue to
the
Investor a number of additional shares of Common Stock so that the effective
purchase price of each share of Common Stock sold to the Investor under this
Purchase Agreement is equal to the New Issuance Price.
