this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and (ii) consummation of the

provisions of the Company's or any of its Subsidiaries' Certificate of
Incorporation, Bylaws or any other governing document or in a default under any
provision of any instrument or contract to which it is a party or by which it or

or anti-dilution rights (including without limitation pursuant to any "reset" or
similar provisions) or rights of first refusal or first offer, or any other
rights that would allow or permit the holders of the Company's securities or
other Persons to purchase shares of Common Stock or other securities of the
Company (whether pursuant to a shareholder rights plan provision or otherwise).

good faith and duly and timely filed all tax returns required to be filed by it
and such returns are complete and accurate in all material respects and (ii)
have paid all taxes required to have been paid by it, except for taxes which it

claim, litigation or administrative proceeding pending or, to the Company's
knowledge, threatened or contemplated,
13
against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or, to the Company's knowledge,
against any officer, director or employee of the Company or any such Subsidiary
in connection with such person's employment therewith. Neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or subject to the provisions of, any
order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or Governmental
Authority which has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material

3.9 Registration Statement. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.9, to the
Company's knowledge, there exist no facts or circumstances (including without
limitation any required approvals or waivers of any circumstances that may delay
or prevent the obtaining of accountant's consents) that could reasonably be
expected to prohibit or delay the preparation, filing or effectiveness of the
Registration Statement.
3.10 Acknowledgement of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the
issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant may 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 Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms of the
Warrant is unconditional regardless of the effect of any such dilution.
3.11 Intellectual Property. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.11:
(a) The Company and/or its Subsidiaries own, free and clear of claims
or rights of any other Person, with full right to use, sell, license,
sublicense, dispose of, and bring actions for infringement of, or has acquired
licenses or other rights to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the
conduct of its business as presently conducted (other than with respect to
"off-the-shelf" software which is generally commercially available and open
source software which may be subject to one or more "general public" licenses).
All works that are used or incorporated into the Company's or its Subsidiaries'
services, products or services or products actively under development and which
is proprietary to the Company or its Subsidiaries was developed by or for the
Company or its Subsidiaries by the current or former employees, consultants or
independent contractors of the Company or its Subsidiaries or purchased by the
Company or its Subsidiaries and are owned by the Company or its Subsidiaries,
free and clear of claims and rights of any other Person.
(b) The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as presently
conducted and the production, marketing, licensing, use and servicing of any
products or services of the Company and its Subsidiaries do not, to the
Company's knowledge, infringe or conflict with any patent, trademark, copyright,
or trade secret rights of any third parties or any other Intellectual Property
of any third parties. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has
received written notice from any third party asserting that any Intellectual
Property owned or licensed by the Company or its Subsidiaries, or which the
Company or its Subsidiaries otherwise has the right to use, is invalid or
unenforceable by the Company or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and, to
the Company's knowledge, there is no valid basis for any such claim (whether or
not pending or threatened).
(c) No claim is pending or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened
against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries nor has the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries received
14
any written notice or other written claim from any Person asserting that any of
the Company's or its Subsidiaries' present or contemplated activities infringe
or may infringe in any material respect any Intellectual Property of such
Person, and the Company is not aware of any infringement by any other Person of
any material rights of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any
Intellectual Property Rights.
(d) All unexpired and in force licenses or other agreements under
which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is granted Intellectual Property
(excluding licenses to use "off-the-shelf" software utilized in the Company's or
its Subsidiaries' internal operations and which is generally commercially
available) are listed in Schedule 3.11. All such licenses or other agreements
are in full force and effect and, to the Company's knowledge, there is no
material default by any party thereto. The Company has no reason to believe that
the licensors under such licenses and other agreements do not have and did not
have all requisite power and authority to grant the rights to the Intellectual
Property purported to be granted thereby.
(e) All unexpired licenses or other agreements under which the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries has granted rights to Intellectual Property to others
(including all end-user agreements) are in full force and effect, there has been
no material default by the Company or its Subsidiaries thereunder and, to the
Company's knowledge, there is no material default by any other party thereto.
(f) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries have taken all steps
required in accordance with commercially reasonable business practice to
establish and preserve its respective ownership in its owned Intellectual
Property and to keep confidential all material technical information developed
by or belonging to the Company or its Subsidiaries which has not been patented
or copyrighted. To the Company's knowledge, neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries is making unlawful use of any Intellectual Property of any other
Person, including, without limitation, any former employer of any past or
present employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective employees or
consultants, has any agreements or arrangements with former employers of such
employees or consultants relating to any Intellectual Property of such
employers, which materially interfere or conflict with the performance of such
employee's or consultant's duties for the Company or its Subsidiaries or result
in any former employers of such employees and consultants having any rights in,
or claims on, the Company's or its Subsidiaries' Intellectual Property. To the
Company's knowledge, the activities of the Company's and its Subsidiaries'
employees and consultants do not violate any agreements or arrangements which
any such employees have with former employers. Each current or former employee,
independent contractor or consultant of the Company and its Subsidiaries has
executed agreements regarding confidentiality, proprietary information and
assignment of inventions and copyrights to the Company or its Subsidiaries (as
the case may be), and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has
received written notice that any employee, consultant or independent contractor
is in violation of any agreement or in breach of any agreement or arrangement
with former or present employers relating to proprietary information or
assignment of inventions. Each employee listed in Schedule 3.11 has executed a
non-competition agreement. Without limiting the foregoing: (i) the Company and
each of its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to guard
against unauthorized disclosure or use of any of its Intellectual Property; and
(ii) the Company has no reason to believe that any Person (including, without
15
limitation, any former employee or consultant of the Company or its
Subsidiaries) has unauthorized possession of any of its Intellectual Property,
or any part thereof, or that any Person has obtained unauthorized access to any
of its Intellectual Property. The consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents will not materially alter
or impair, individually or in the aggregate, any of such rights of the Company
or its Subsidiaries. The Company and its Subsidiaries each has complied in all
material respects with its obligations pursuant to all agreements relating to
Intellectual Property rights that are the subject of licenses granted by third
parties, except for any non-compliance that has not had or would not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.12 Registration Rights. Except as described on Schedule 3.12 hereto, the

Company registered with the Commission or any other governmental authority which
has not been satisfied in full prior to the date hereof.
3.13 Solicitation; Other Issuances of Securities. Neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their
behalf, (i) has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general
advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the offer or
sale of the Securities, or (ii) has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or
sales of any security or the right to purchase any security, or solicited any
offers to buy any security or any such right, under circumstances that would
require registration of the Securities under the Securities Act.
3.14 Fees. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.14, neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to pay any compensation or other fee, cost
or related expenditure to any underwriter, broker, agent or other representative
in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company will
indemnify and hold harmless the Investor from and against any claim by any
person or entity alleging that, as a result of any agreement or arrangement
between such Person and the Company, such Investor is obligated to pay any such
compensation, fee, cost or related expenditure in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby.
3.15 Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, any of its
Subsidiaries nor, to the Company's knowledge, any director, officer, agent,
employee or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, has
(i) used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment
or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity, (ii) made any direct
or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or
employee (including without limitation any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence
payment, kickback or other unlawful payment), or (iii) violated any provision of
the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.
3.16 Key Person; Officers and Directors. Set forth on Schedule 3.16 is a
list of each of the Company's officers and directors. Each of the Company's Key
Persons is currently serving in the capacity described on Schedule 3.16. The
Company has no knowledge of any fact or circumstance (including without
limitation (i) the terms of any agreement to which such person is a party or any
litigation in which such person is or may become involved and (ii) any illness
or medical condition that could reasonably be expected to result in the
disability or incapacity of such person) that would limit or prevent any such
person from serving in such capacity on a full-time basis in the foreseeable
future, or of any intention on the part of any such person to limit or
16
terminate his or her employment with the Company. Except as set forth on
Schedule 3.16, no Key Person has borrowed money pursuant to a currently
outstanding loan that is secured by Common Stock or any right or option to
receive Common Stock.

organization activities pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened
between it and its employees (or between any of its Subsidiaries and such
Subsidiary's employees). No employees of the Company belong to any union or
collective bargaining unit. The Company has complied in all material respects
with all applicable federal and state equal opportunity and other laws related
to employment.
3.18 Environment. To the Company's knowledge, neither the Company nor any
of its Subsidiaries has any current liability under any Environmental Law, nor,
to the knowledge of the Company, do any factors exist that are reasonably likely
to give rise to any such liability that, individually or in the aggregate, has
had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the
Company's knowledge, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has
violated any Environmental Law applicable to it now or previously in effect,
other than such violations or infringements that, individually or in the
aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
3.19 ERISA. Except as described on Schedule 3.19, neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries maintains or contributes to, or has any obligation
under, any Pension Plan. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is in
compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of
ERISA and the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, except
for matters that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had, and would not
reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.
3.20 Insurance. The Company maintains insurance for itself and its
Subsidiaries in such amounts and covering such losses and risks as the Company
believes to be reasonably prudent in relation to the businesses in which the
Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged. No notice of cancellation has been
received for any of such policies and the Company reasonably believes that is in
compliance with all of the terms and conditions thereof. The Company has no
reason to believe that it will not be able to renew any existing insurance
coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from
similar insurers as may be necessary to continue doing business as currently
conducted without a significant increase in cost, other than normal increases in
the industry.
3.21 Property. Except as described on Schedule 3.21, the Company and its
Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all personal Property and good
and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them which,
individually or in the aggregate, is material to the business of the Company and
its Subsidiaries, in each such case free and clear of all Liens except for
Permitted Liens. Any Property held under lease by the Company or its
Subsidiaries is held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with
such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the use made or
proposed to be made of such Property by the Company and its Subsidiaries.
17
3.22 Regulatory Permits. The Company and its Subsidiaries possess all
material certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate
federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their
respective businesses other than where the failure to possess such certificates,
authorizations or permits, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice or otherwise become
aware of any proceedings, inquiries or investigations relating to the revocation
or modification of any such certificate, authorization or permit.
3.23 Exchange Act Registration; Listing. The Company is subject to the
reporting requirements of Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the Common Stock
is quoted on the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board and, provided that the Company
completes the filing of the 8-K Amendment, the Company currently meets the
continuing eligibility requirements for quotation on the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin
Board. The Company has not received any notice from Nasdaq or the NASD that it
may not currently satisfy such requirements or that such continued quotation of
the Company's Common Stock on the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board is in any way
threatened. The Company has taken no action designed to, or which, to the
knowledge of the Company, may have the effect of, terminating the Company's
reporting obligations under the Exchange Act or the removal of the Common Stock
from the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board.
3.24 Investment Company Status. The Company is not, and immediately after
receipt of the Purchase Price for the Securities issued under this Agreement

company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the "Investment Company Act"), and the Company shall conduct its business in a
manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act.
3.25 Transfer Taxes. No stock transfer or other taxes (other than income

in compliance in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the
Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated
by the SEC thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof, except for
instances of noncompliance that would not reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Except as described
on Schedule 3.26, the Company maintains internal accounting controls, policies
and procedures, and such books and records as are reasonably designed to provide
reasonable assurance that (i) all transactions to which the Company or any
Subsidiary is a party or by which its properties are bound are effected by a
duly authorized employee or agent of the Company, supervised by and acting
within the scope of the authority granted by the Company's senior management;
(ii) the recorded accounting of the Company's consolidated assets is compared
with existing assets at regular intervals; and (iii) all transactions to which
the Company or any Subsidiary is a party, or by which its properties are bound,

law, including, but not limited to, the International Emergency Economic Powers
Act, 50 U.S.C. ss. 1701 et seq., The Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C. App.
1 et seq., and any Executive Orders or regulations promulgated under any such
United States laws (each, an "Embargoed Person"), with the result that the
investments evidenced by the Securities are or would be in violation of law. No
Embargoed Person has any interest of any nature whatsoever in the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries with the result that the investments evidenced by the

result that the investments evidenced by the Securities are or would be in
violation of law.
3.28 Solvency. (i) The fair saleable value of the Company's assets exceeds
the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company's
existing Debt including, as of the Closing Date, the Note, as such Debt matures
or is otherwise payable; (ii) the Company's assets do not constitute
unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year
as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted taking into account the current
and projected capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company and
projected capital availability; and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company,
together with the proceeds the Company would receive upon liquidation of its
assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of such amounts, would be
sufficient to pay all Debt including, as of the Closing Date, the Note, when
such Debt is required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur Debt
beyond its ability to pay such Debt as it matures. The Company has no knowledge
of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will be required
to file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization
laws of any jurisdiction, and has no present intention to so file.
3.29 Transactions with Interested Person. Except as set forth in Schedule
3.29, no officer, director or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
is or has taken any steps to become a party to any transaction with the Company
or any Subsidiary (other than for services as employees, officers and
directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for
the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal
property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer,
director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in
which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or
is an officer, director, trustee or partner.

Subsidiaries with their respective customers and suppliers are maintained on
commercially reasonable terms. Since December 31, 2004, no customer or supplier
of the Company or its Subsidiaries has canceled, materially modified, or
otherwise terminated its relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries or
decreased materially its usage or purchase or supply of the services or products
of the Company or its Subsidiaries, except for such modifications and
terminations which,
19
individually and in the aggregate, have not had, and cannot reasonably be
expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect, nor does any customer or supplier
have, to the Company's knowledge, any plan or intention to do any of the
foregoing. The Company has no reason to believe that any of its or its
Subsidiaries' suppliers will experience a manufacturing disruption, a failure to
dedicate adequate resources to the production, assembly or testing of the
Company's or its Subsidiaries' products, or financial instability, or that any
such supplier will be unable to successfully transition its manufacturing
capabilities to the future needs of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
3.31 Full Disclosure. No written statement, information, report,
representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document or furnished to the Investor by or on behalf of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Closing or the Investor's due

proper conduct of its businesses in good repair, working order and condition

Adverse Effect;

assessments and governmental charges imposed on it or its income or profits or

shall not be required to pay or discharge any tax, levy, assessment or
governmental charge, or claim for labor, material or supplies, whose amount,

with any Governmental Requirements, the applicability or validity of which is
being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings being diligently
pursued and for which adequate reserves have been established under GAAP;
(e) comply with all agreements, documents and instruments binding on
it or affecting its Properties or business, including, without limitation, all

upon exercise of the Warrant, without regard to any limitation on such exercise
that may otherwise exist. In the event that the Reserved Amount is insufficient
at any time to cover one hundred percent 100% of the Registrable Securities
issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant (based on the Exercise Price then in
effect, and without regard to any restriction on such exercise), the Company
shall take such action (including without limitation holding a meeting of its
stockholders) to increase the Reserved Amount to cover one hundred and twenty
five percent (125%) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant, such increase to be effective not later than the thirtieth (30th) day
(or sixtieth (60th) day, in the event stockholder approval is required for such
increase) following the Company's receipt of written notice of such deficiency.
While the Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall not reduce the Reserved
Amount without obtaining the prior written consent of the Investor.
4.5 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds from the sale of
the Securities for the purposes specified on Schedule 4.5; provided, however,
that the Company shall not use such proceeds (i) to pay down, repurchase or
redeem any debt or securities issued by the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) to
pay any dividend or make any distribution on any such securities, or (iii) to
repay any loan made to or incurred by any Key Person or Affiliate of the
Company.
4.6 Limitation on Debt and Liens. During the period beginning on the
Execution Date and ending on the Termination Date, the Company shall refrain,
and shall ensure that each of its Subsidiaries refrains, (a) from incurring any
Debt (including without limitation by issuing any Debt securities) or increasing
the amount of any existing line of credit or other Debt facility beyond the
22
amount outstanding on the date hereof, other than Permitted Debt, and (b) from
granting, establishing or maintaining any Lien on any of its assets, including
without limitation any pledge of securities owned or held by it (including
without limitation any securities issued by any such Subsidiary), other than (i)
Permitted Liens (including the imposition of any Permitted Lien after the
Closing Date, provided that, upon the imposition of any mechanic's, tax or
similar statutory lien, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
remove such lien as soon as practicable (including without limitation contesting
such lien in good faith by appropriate proceedings)), (ii) any interest or title
of a lessor under any capitalized lease obligation provided that such Liens do
not extend to any property or assets which is not leased property subject to
such capitalized lease obligation, (iii) purchase money Liens to finance
property or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company acquired in
the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that (A) the related
purchase money Debt shall not exceed the cost of such property or assets
(including the cost of design, development, improvement, production,
acquisition, construction, installation and integration) and shall not be
secured by any property or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary of the
Company other than the property and assets so acquired or constructed (and any
improvements) and (B) the Lien securing such purchase money Debt shall be
created within ten (10) days of such acquisition, construction or improvement,
(iv) Liens upon specific items of inventory or other goods and proceeds of any
Person securing such Person's obligations in respect of bankers' acceptances
issued or created for the account of such Person to facilitate the purchase,
shipment or storage of such inventory or other goods, and (v) Liens encumbering
deposits made to secure obligations arising from statutory, regulatory,
contractual, or warranty requirements of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
including rights of offset and set off.
4.7 Certain Transactions. During the period beginning on the Execution Date
and ending on the Termination Date, and except as may be expressly permitted or
required by the Transaction Documents, the Company shall not, nor will it permit
any of its Subsidiaries to, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or
become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction of any kind on the
ability of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (a) to pay dividends or
make any other distribution to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company in
respect of capital stock or with respect to any other interest or participation
in, or measured by, its profits, or (b) to pay any amounts that are or become
payable under any of the Transaction Documents.
4.8 Transactions with Affiliates. The Company agrees that, during the
period beginning on the Execution Date and ending on the Termination Date, any
transaction or arrangement between it or any of its Subsidiaries and any
Affiliate or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be
effected only on an arms' length basis and shall be approved by the Board of
Directors, including a majority of the Company's directors, if any, that do not
have an interest in such transaction.
4.9 Use of Investor Name. Except as may be required by applicable law
and/or this Agreement, the Company shall not use, directly or indirectly, the
Investor's name or the name of any of its Affiliates in any advertisement,
announcement, press release or other similar communication unless it has
received the prior written consent of the Investor for the specific use
contemplated or as otherwise required by applicable law or regulation.
23
4.10 Company's Instructions to Transfer Agent. On or prior to the Closing
Date, the Company shall execute and deliver irrevocable written instructions to
the transfer agent for its Common Stock (the "Transfer Agent"), and provide the
Investor with a copy thereof, directing the Transfer Agent (i) to issue
certificates representing Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant and (ii)
to deliver such certificates to the Investor no later than the close of business
on the third (3rd) business day following the related Exercise Date (as defined
in the Warrant). Such certificates may bear legends pursuant to applicable
provisions of this Agreement or applicable law. The Company shall instruct the
transfer agent that, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing
shares of Common Stock to the Investor upon exercise of the Warrant, and as long
as the Transfer Agent is a participant in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC")
Fast Automated Securities Transfer program ("FAST"), the Warrant Shares are
eligible to be delivered through the FAST system, the Investor has not informed
the Company that it wishes to receive physical certificates therefor, and no
restrictive legend is required to appear on any physical certificate if issued,
the transfer agent may effect delivery of Warrant Shares by crediting the
account of the Investor or its nominee at DTC for the number of shares for which
delivery is required hereunder within the time frame specified above for
delivery of certificates. The Company represents to and agrees with the Investor
that it will not give any instruction to the Transfer Agent that will conflict
with the foregoing instruction or otherwise restrict the Investor's right to
exercise the Warrant or to receive Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant.
In the event that the Company's relationship with the Transfer Agent should be
terminated for any reason, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the
Transfer Agent to continue acting as transfer agent pursuant to the terms hereof
until such time that a successor transfer agent is appointed by the Company and
receives the instructions described above.
4.11 No Adverse Action. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall refrain,
during the period beginning on the Execution Date and ending on the Termination
Date, from taking any action or entering into any arrangement which in any way
materially and adversely affects the provisions of this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document.
4.12 Limitations on Disposition. The Investor shall not sell, transfer,
assign or dispose of any Securities, unless:
(a) there is then in effect an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is
made in accordance with such registration statement; or
(b) the Investor has notified the Company in writing of any such
disposition, received the Company's written consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such disposition and furnished the Company
with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such
disposition will not require registration of such Securities under the
Securities Act; provided, however, that no such consent or opinion of counsel
will be required (A) if the sale, transfer or assignment complies with federal
and state securities laws (and Investor certifies to such compliance) and is
made to an Affiliate of the Investor which is also an "accredited investor" as
that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, (B) if the sale, transfer or
assignment is made pursuant to Rule 144 and the Investor provides the Company
with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the proposed
transaction satisfies the requirements of Rule 144 or (C) in connection with a
bona fide pledge or hypothecation of any
24
Securities under a margin arrangement with a broker-dealer or other financial
institution or the sale of any such Securities by such broker-dealer or other
financial institution following such Investor's default under such margin
arrangement.
4.13 Listing. The Company (i) as soon as practicable following the date on
which the Company qualifies to list the Common Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market, shall use its best efforts to cause the Common Stock, including all of
the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant (without regard to any
limitation on such exercise), to be listed on such market, and (ii) thereafter
use its best efforts to maintain the designation and quotation, or listing, of
the Common Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the Nasdaq National Market or
the New York Stock Exchange for a minimum of five (5) years following the
Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until such time as the Common Stock
is listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the Company shall (i) cause all of the
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant (without regard to any
limitation on such exercise) to be included for quotation on the Nasdaq OTC
Bulletin Board, and (ii) use its best efforts to maintain the designation and
quotation, or listing, of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board for
a minimum of five (5) years following the Closing Date (or, if earlier, until
such time as the Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the
Nasdaq National Market or the New York Stock Exchange).
4.14 Indemnification of Investor. The Company will indemnify and hold the
Investor and its directors, managers, officers, shareholders, members, partners,
employees and agents (each, an "Investor Party") harmless from any and all
losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and
expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of investigation that any such Investor
Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of
the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in
this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action
instituted against the Investor or its Affiliates, by any stockholder of the
Company who is not an Affiliate of the Investor, with respect to any of the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is
based upon a breach by the Investor of the Investor's representation, warranties
or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings
the Investor may have with any such stockholder or any violations by the
Investor of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by the Investor
which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance).
If any action shall be brought against any Investor Party in respect of which
indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Investor Party shall
promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to
assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing and to control any
settlement of the claim; provided, however, that the Company will not settle any
claim unless it first obtains the consent of the relevant Investor Parties,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld if such settlement (i) does not
require the Investor Parties to make any payment that is not indemnified under
this Agreement, (ii) does not impose any non-financial obligations on the
Investor Parties and (iii) does not require an acknowledgment of wrongdoing on
the part of the Investor Parties. Any Investor Party shall have the right to
employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense
thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of
such Investor Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has
been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has
failed after a reasonable
25
period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such
action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material
conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the
position of such Investor Party. The Company will not be liable to any Investor
Party under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by an Investor Party effected
without the Company's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed (it being agreed that it shall not be unreasonable for the
Company to withhold or delay such consent if the Company (x) has acknowledged in
writing its obligation to indemnify such Investor Party with respect to such
matter, (y) the Company has assumed and is actively and in good faith pursuing
the defense of such matter as herein provided, and (z) provided to such Investor
Party reasonably acceptable evidence that the Company is able to comply with its
indemnification obligations hereunder); or (ii) to the extent, but only to the
extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to such Investor
Party's wrongful actions or omissions, or gross negligence or to such Investor
Party's breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements made by such Investor in this Agreement or in the other Transaction
Documents.

shall survive the Closing notwithstanding any due diligence investigation made
by or on behalf of the party seeking to rely thereon. In the event that any
provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent

28
void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said
provision; provided, that in such case the parties shall negotiate in good faith
to replace such provision with a new provision which is not illegal,
unenforceable or void, as long as such new provision does not materially change
the economic benefits of this Agreement to the parties.
6.2 Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and
permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied,

respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or
liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided
in this Agreement. The Investor may assign its rights and obligations hereunder,
in connection with any private sale or transfer of the Note or Warrant in
accordance with the terms hereof, as long as, as a condition precedent to such
transfer, the transferee executes an acknowledgment agreeing to be bound by the
applicable provisions of this Agreement, in which case the term "Investor" shall
be deemed to refer to such transferee as though such transferee were an original
signatory hereto. The Company may not assign its rights or obligations under
this Agreement.
6.3 No Reliance. Each party acknowledges that (i) it has such knowledge in
business and financial matters as to be fully capable of evaluating this
Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, and the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, (ii) it is not relying on any advice or representation of
any other party in connection with entering into this Agreement, the other
Transaction Documents, or such transactions (other than the representations made
in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents), (iii) it has not received
from any party any assurance or guarantee as to the merits (whether legal,
regulatory, tax, financial or otherwise) of entering into this Agreement or the
other Transaction Documents or the performance of its obligations hereunder and
thereunder, and (iv) it has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax,
business, investment, financial and accounting advisors to the extent that it
has deemed necessary, and has entered into this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents based on its own independent judgment and on the advice of
its advisors as it has deemed necessary, and not on any view (whether written or
oral) expressed by any party.
6.4 Injunctive Relief. The Company acknowledges and agrees that a breach by
it of its obligations hereunder may cause irreparable harm to the Investor and
that the remedy or remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate and
agrees, in the event of any such breach, in addition to all other available
remedies, such Investor shall be entitled to seek an injunction restraining any
breach and requiring immediate and specific performance of such obligations
without the necessity of showing economic loss.
6.5 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed under the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made
and to be performed entirely within the State of New York. Each party hereby
irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal

dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated
hereby (including without limitation any dispute under or with respect to the
Note or the Warrant), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in
any suit, action or proceeding involving the Investor or permitted assignee of
the Investor, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of
any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an
inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is
improper.
29
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 to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this
Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.

counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be
