and
regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other
Person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the 1933 Act
or
any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any

Regarding Buyer's Purchase of Securities.

Company further acknowledges that no Buyer is acting as a financial advisor

with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, and any advice given by a Buyer or any of its
representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and
the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to such
Buyer's purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each
Buyer
that the Company's decision to enter into the Transaction Documents has been

or
sale of the Securities. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of

this offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the
Company for purposes of any applicable stockholder approval provisions,

all
material respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof
and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended

adjustments). No other information provided by or on behalf of the Company
to
the Buyers which is not included in the SEC Documents, including, without
limitation, information referred to in Section 2(d) of this Agreement or in
any

its creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any
actual knowledge of any fact that would reasonably lead a creditor to do so.
The
Company and its Subsidiaries, individually and on a consolidated basis, are
not

is unable to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or
otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured, (iii)
such
Person intends to incur or believes that it will incur debts that would be

unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is
engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be
conducted.

to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization or
permit.

otherwise, to be secured by) any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security

of
such indebtedness, and (H) all Contingent Obligations in respect of indebtedness
or obligations of others of the kinds referred to in clauses (A) through (G)
above; (y) "Contingent

to the obligee of such liability that such liability will be paid or discharged,
or that any agreements relating thereto will be complied with, or that the
holders of such liability will be protected (in whole or in part) against loss
with respect thereto; and (z) "Person"

The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized
financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts
as
management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses
in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company
nor
any such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied
for and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe
that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when
such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as
may
be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material
Adverse Effect.

Relations.

to leave the Company or any such Subsidiary or otherwise terminate such
officer's employment with the Company or any such Subsidiary. No executive
officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, is, or is now expected to
be,
in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality,
disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement,
or
any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued
employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any
of
its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing
matters.
(ii) The
Company and its Subsidiaries, to their knowledge, are in compliance with all
federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor,
employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of

in
each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such
as
are described in Schedule
3(w)
or such
as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not interfere
with
the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and any
of
its Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the
Company and any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting
and
enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere
with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by
the
Company and its Subsidiaries.
-

Property Rights.
The
Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights or licenses to

inventions, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights ("Intellectual
Property Rights")
necessary to conduct their respective businesses as now conducted. None of
the
Company's registered, or applied for, Intellectual Property Rights have expired
or terminated or have been abandoned, or are expected to expire or terminate
or
expected to be abandoned, within three years from the date of this Agreement.
The Company does not have any knowledge of any infringement by the Company
or
its Subsidiaries of Intellectual Property Rights of others. There is no claim,
action or proceeding being made or brought, or to the knowledge of the Company,
being threatened, against the Company or its Subsidiaries regarding its
Intellectual Property Rights. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
is
aware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the
foregoing infringements or claims, actions or proceedings. The Company and
its
Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy,
confidentiality and value of all of their Intellectual Property
Rights.
(y) Environmental
Laws.
The
Company and its Subsidiaries, to their knowledge, (i) are in compliance with
any
and all Environmental Laws (as hereinafter defined), (ii) have received all
permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable
Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses and (iii) are in
compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval
where, in each of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the failure to
so
comply could be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate,
a
Material Adverse Effect. The term "Environmental
Laws"
means
all federal, state, local or foreign laws relating to pollution or protection
of
human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air,
surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including,
without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or
threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, or toxic or

governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or
determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those
being contested in good faith and (iii) has set aside on its books provision
reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to
the
periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no
unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority
of
any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of no basis for any
such
claim.
-
15 -
(bb) Internal
Accounting and Disclosure Controls.
The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting
controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are
executed in accordance with management's general 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 and liability accountability, (iii) access to assets or
incurrence of liabilities is permitted only in accordance with management's
general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for
assets and liabilities is compared with the existing assets and liabilities
at
reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any
difference. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such
term is defined in Rule 13a-14 under the 0000 Xxx) that are effective in
ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports
that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the
SEC, including, without limitation, controls and procedures designed in to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports
that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated
to
the Company's management, including its principal executive officer or officers
and its principal financial officer or officers, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. During the twelve months prior to
the
date hereof neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have received any
notice or correspondence from any accountant relating to any potential material
weakness in any part of the system of internal accounting controls of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(cc) Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements.
There
is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between the Company and
an
unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that is required to be
disclosed by the Company in its 1934 Act filings and is not so disclosed or
that
otherwise would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(dd) Investment
Company Status.

an
"affiliated person" of, or "promoter" or "principal underwriter" for, an
"investment company" as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act
of
1940, as amended.

(gg) Disclosure.
The
Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf
has
provided any of the Buyers or their agents or counsel with any information
that
constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute material, nonpublic
information. The Company understands and confirms that each of the Buyers will
rely on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities
of
the Company. All disclosure provided to the Buyers regarding the Company or
any
of its Subsidiaries, their business and the transactions contemplated hereby,
including the Schedules to this Agreement, furnished by or on behalf of the
Company is true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make
the
statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were
made, not misleading. Each press release issued by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries during the twelve (12) months preceding the date of this Agreement
did not at the time of release 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 make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading. No event or circumstance has occurred
or
information exists with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
its
or their business, properties, prospects, operations or financial conditions,
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.
(hh) Acknowledgement
Regarding Buyers' Trading Activity.
Anything in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
but subject to compliance by the Buyers with applicable law and the provisions
of Section 2(k) hereto, it is understood and acknowledged by the Company (i)
that none of the Buyers have been asked by the Company or its Subsidiaries
to
agree, nor has any Buyer agreed with the Company or its Subsidiaries, to desist
from purchasing or selling, long and/or short, securities of the Company, or
"derivative" securities based on securities issued by the Company or to hold
the
Securities for any specified term; (ii) that past or future open market or
other
transactions by any Buyer, including, without limitation, short sales or
"derivative" transactions, before or after the closing of this or future private
placement transactions, may negatively impact the market price of the Company's
publicly-traded securities; (iii) that any Buyer, and counter parties in
"derivative" transactions to which any such Buyer is a party, directly or
indirectly, presently may have a "short" position in the Common Stock, and
(iv)
that each Buyer shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control
over
any arm's length counter-party in any "derivative" transaction. The Company
further understands and acknowledges that (a) one or more Buyers may engage
in
hedging and/or trading activities at various times during the period that the
Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods
that the value of the Warrant Shares deliverable with respect to Securities
are
being determined and (b) such hedging and/or trading activities (if any) could
reduce the value of the existing stockholders' equity interests in the Company
at and after the time that the hedging and/or trading activities are being
conducted.

Real Property Holding Corporation.
The
Company is not, nor has it ever been, a U.S. real property holding corporation

From

possession of any material, nonpublic information received from the Company,
any
of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees
or
agents that is not disclosed in the 8-K Filing. The Company shall not, and

cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and each of their respective officers,
directors, employees and agents, not to, provide any Buyer with any material,
nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from
and
after the filing of the 8-K Filing with the SEC without the express written
consent of such Buyer. If a Buyer has, or believes it has, received any such
material, nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, it shall provide the Company with written notice thereof. The
Company shall, within five (5) Trading Days (as defined in the Warrants) of
receipt of such notice, make public disclosure of such material, nonpublic
information. In the event of a breach of the foregoing covenant by the Company,
any of its Subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective officers, directors,
employees and agents, in addition to any other remedy provided herein or in
the
Transaction Documents, a Buyer shall have the right to make a public disclosure,
in the form of a press release, public advertisement or otherwise, of such
material, nonpublic information without the prior approval by the Company,
its
Subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees
or agents. No Buyer shall have any liability to the Company, its Subsidiaries,
or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders
or agents for any such disclosure. Subject to the foregoing, neither the
Company, its Subsidiaries nor any Buyer shall issue any press releases or any
other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby;
provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled, without the prior
approval of any Buyer, to make any press release or other public disclosure
with
respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the 8-K Filing
and contemporaneously therewith and (ii) as is required by applicable law and
regulations (provided that in the case of clause (i) each Buyer shall be
consulted by the Company in connection with any such press release or other
public disclosure prior to its release). Without the prior written consent
of
any applicable Buyer, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or
affiliates shall disclose the name of such Buyer in any filing, announcement,
release or otherwise, unless required by law.
(j) Variable
Securities; Dilutive Issuances.
So long
as any Buyer beneficially owns any Warrants, the Company will not issue any
other securities that would cause a breach or default under the Warrants. For
so
long as any Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall not, in any manner,
issue or sell any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase
Common Stock or directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for Common Stock at a price which varies or may vary with the market
price of the Common Stock, including by way of one or more reset(s) to any
fixed
price unless the conversion, exchange or exercise price of any such security
cannot be less than the then applicable Exercise Price (as defined in the
Warrants) with respect to the Common Stock into which any Warrant is
exercisable. For so long as any Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall
not, in any manner, enter into or affect any Dilutive Issuances (as defined
in
the Warrants) if the effect of such Dilutive Issuance is to cause the Company
to
be required to issue upon exercise of any Warrant any shares of Common Stock
in
excess of that number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue
upon
exercise of the Warrants without breaching the Company's obligations under
the
rules or regulations of the Principal Market.

set forth in the Warrants.

Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and
reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than (i) 100% of the number of
Common Shares issuable hereunder and (ii) 150% of the maximum number of shares

set

the
Company will not, directly or indirectly, file any registration statement with
the SEC other than the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement). From the date hereof until the Trigger Date, the Company
will
not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or
otherwise dispose of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to
purchase or other disposition of) any of its or its Subsidiaries' equity or
equity equivalent securities, including without limitation any debt, preferred
stock or other instrument or security that is, at any time during its life
and
under any circumstances, convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for
shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (any such offer, sale, grant,
disposition or announcement being referred to as a "Subsequent
Placement").
(iii) From
the
Trigger Date until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company
will
not, directly or indirectly, effect any Subsequent Placement unless the Company
shall have first complied with this Section 4(n)(iii).
-
21 -
(1) The
Company shall deliver to each Buyer an irrevocable written notice
(the "Offer
Notice")
of any
proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange (the "Offer")
of the
securities being offered (the "Offered
Securities")
in a
Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (w) identify and describe the
Offered Securities, (x) describe the price and other terms upon which they
are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered
Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, (y) identify the persons or
entities (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be
offered, issued, sold or exchanged and (z) offer to issue and sell to or
exchange with such Buyers the Offered Securities, allocated among such Buyers
(a) based on such Buyer's pro rata portion of the number of Common Shares
purchased hereunder (the "Basic
Amount"),
and
(b) with respect to each Buyer that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any
additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts
of other Buyers as such Buyer shall indicate it will purchase or acquire should
the other Buyers subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the "Undersubscription
Amount"),
which
process shall be repeated until the Buyers shall have an opportunity to
subscribe for any remaining Undersubscription Amount.
(2) To
accept
an Offer, in whole or in part, such Buyer must deliver a written notice to
the
Company prior to the end of the tenth (10th)
Business Day after such Buyer's receipt of the Offer Notice (the "Offer
Period"),
setting forth the portion of such Buyer's Basic Amount that such Buyer elects
to
purchase and, if such Buyer shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount,
the
Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Buyer elects to purchase (in either
case, the "Notice
of Acceptance");
provided,
however,
that
such Buyers may not accept an Offer by electing to purchase less than 5% of
the
Offered Securities on an aggregate basis. If the Basic Amounts subscribed for
by
all Buyers are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Buyer
who has set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall
be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the
Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided,
however,
that if
the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between
the
total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the
"Available
Undersubscription Amount"),
each
Buyer who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled
to
purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the
Basic Amount of such Buyer bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Buyers that
have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by the
Company to the extent its deems reasonably necessary.
(3) The
Company shall have fifteen (15) Business Days from the expiration of the Offer
Period above to offer, issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered
Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Buyers
(the "Refused
Securities"),
but
only to the offerees described in the Offer Notice (if so described therein)
and
only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices
and
interest rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring person or persons
or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer Notice and
(ii) to publicly announce (a) the execution of such Subsequent Placement
Agreement, and (b) either (x) the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by such Subsequent Placement Agreement or (y) the termination of such Subsequent
Placement Agreement, which shall be filed with the SEC on a Current Report
on
Form 8-K with such Subsequent Placement Agreement and any documents contemplated
therein filed as exhibits thereto.
-
22 -
(4) In
the
event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities
(any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section
4(n)(iii)(3) above), then each Buyer may, at its sole option and in its sole
discretion, reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified
in
its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number
or
amount of the Offered Securities that such Buyer elected to purchase pursuant
to
Section 4(n)(iii)(2) above multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which
shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company actually
proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued
or sold to Buyers pursuant to Section 4(n)(iii)(3) above prior to such
reduction) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of
the
Offered Securities. In the event that any Buyer so elects to reduce the number
or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the
Company may not issue, sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount
of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been
offered to the Buyers in accordance with Section 4(n)(iii)(1)
above.
(5) Upon
the
closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused
Securities, the Buyers shall acquire from the Company, and the Company shall
issue to the Buyers, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in
the
Notices of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 4(p)(iii)(3) above if
the
Buyers have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the
Company does not consummate the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of
all
or less than all of the Refused Securities within fifteen (15) Business Days
of
the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company shall issue to the Buyers the
number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance,
as reduced pursuant to Section 4(n)(iii)(4) above if the Buyers have so elected,
upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The purchase by the Buyers
of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution
and delivery by the Company and the Buyers of a purchase agreement relating
to
such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the
Buyers and their respective counsel.
(6) Any
Offered Securities not acquired by the Buyers or other persons in accordance
with Section 4(o)(iii)(3) above may not be issued, sold or exchanged until
they
are again offered to the Buyers under the procedures specified in this
Agreement.
(7) The
Company and the Buyers agree that if any Buyer elects to participate in the
Offer, (x) neither the Subsequent Placement Agreement with respect to such
Offer
nor any other transaction documents related thereto (collectively, the
"Subsequent
Placement Documents")
shall
include any term or provisions whereby any Buyer shall be required to agree
to
any restrictions in trading as to any securities of the Company owned by such
Buyer prior to such Subsequent Placement, and (y) any registration rights set
forth in such Subsequent Placement Documents shall be similar in all material
respects to the registration rights contained in the Registration Rights
Agreement.
-
23 -
(8) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 4(o) and unless otherwise agreed to
by
the Buyers, the Company shall either confirm in writing to the Buyers that
the
transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or
shall
publicly disclose its intention to issue the Offered Securities, in either
case
in such a manner such that the Buyers will not be in possession of material
non-public information, by the fifteen (15th)
Business Day following delivery of the Offer Notice. If by the fifteen
(15th)
following delivery of the Offer Notice no public disclosure regarding a
transaction with respect to the Offered Securities has been made, and no notice
regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by the Buyers,
such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and the Buyers shall
not
be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information with
respect to the Company. Should the Company decide to pursue such transaction
with respect to the Offered Securities, the Company shall provide each Buyer
with another Offer Notice and each Buyer will again have the right of
participation set forth in this Section 4(n)(iii). The Company shall not be
permitted to deliver more than one such Offer Notice to the Buyers in any 60
day
period.
(iv) The
restrictions contained in subsections (ii) and (iii) of this Section 4(n) shall
not apply in connection with the issuance of any Excluded Securities (as defined
in the Warrants).

and
the Company shall use its best efforts to cause such securities to be listed
on
The NASDAQ Capital Market as soon as practicable thereafter.

Financial Statements.
On or
prior to the date which is sixty (60) days after the Closing Date (the
"Audited
Financial Statement Delivery Deadline"),
the
Company shall deliver to the Buyers its financial statements for the years
ending December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005, audited by Xxxxxxxxx &
Company, LP, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, consistently applied, during each year involved (except as may
be
otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto) and

as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for

5. REGISTER;
TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.
(a) Register.
The
Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office
or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to each holder of
Securities), a register for the Units and the Common Shares and the Warrants
that comprise the Units in which the Company shall record the name and address
of the Person in whose name the Units, Common Shares and Warrants
have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee) and the
number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by such
Person. The Company shall keep the register open and available at all times
during business hours for inspection of any Buyer or its legal
representatives.
(b) Transfer
Agent Instructions.
The
Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and any
subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates or credit shares to the
applicable balance accounts at The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"),
registered in the name of each Buyer or its respective nominee(s), for the
Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants in such amounts as specified
from time to time by each Buyer to the Company upon exercise of the Warrants
in
the form of Exhibit
D
attached
hereto (the "Irrevocable
Transfer Agent Instructions").
The
Company warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions referred to in this Section 5(b), and stop transfer instructions
to
give effect to Section 2(g) hereof, will be given by the Company to its transfer
agent, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the
books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents. If a Buyer effects a sale, assignment
or
transfer of the Securities in accordance with Section 2(f), the Company shall
permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue
one
or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at
DTC
in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Buyer to effect
such
sale, transfer or assignment. In the event that such sale, assignment or
transfer involves Warrant Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to
an
effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144, the transfer agent
shall issue such Securities to the Buyer, assignee or transferee, as the case
may be, without any restrictive legend.
(c) Breach.
The
Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will
cause
irreparable harm to a Buyer. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the
remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5 will be
inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the
Company of the provisions of this Section 5, that a Buyer 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.
-
25 -
(d) Additional
Relief.
If the
Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to such holder
unlegended certificates within three (3) Business Days of receipt of documents
necessary for the removal of legend set forth above (the "Deadline
Date"),
then,
in addition to all other remedies available to the holder, if on or after the
Trading Day (as defined in the Warrant) immediately following such three
Business Day period, the holder purchases (in an open market transaction or
otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the
holder of shares of Common Stock that the holder anticipated receiving from
the
Company (a "Buy-In"),
then
the Company shall, within three Business Days after the holder's request and
in
the holder's discretion, either (i) pay cash to the holder in an amount equal
to
the holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any)
for
the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the "Buy-In
Price"),
at
which point the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue
such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its
obligation to deliver to the holder a certificate or certificates representing
such shares of Common Stock and pay cash to the holder in an amount equal to
the
excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of
shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the Deadline Date.
"Closing
Bid Price"
means,
for any security as of any date, the last closing price for such security on
the
Principal Market, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the Principal Market begins
to operate on an extended hours basis and does not designate the closing bid
price then the last bid price of such security prior to 4:00:00 p.m., New York
Time, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the Principal Market is not the principal
securities exchange or trading market for such security, the last closing price
of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where
such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg, or if the foregoing
do not apply, the last closing price of such security in the over-the-counter
market on the electronic bulletin board for such security as reported by
Bloomberg, or, if no closing bid price is reported for such security by
Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such security
as reported in the "pink sheets" by Pink Sheets LLC (formerly the National
Quotation Bureau, Inc.). If the Closing Bid Price cannot be calculated for
a
security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Bid
Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually
determined by the Company and the holder. If the Company and the holder are
unable to agree upon the fair market value of such security, then such dispute
shall be resolved pursuant to Section 12 of the Warrants. All such
determinations to be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split,
stock combination or other similar transaction during the applicable calculation
period.

(the
"Lock-Up
Agreements").
(xiv) Prior
to
the Closing, the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement shall
have

28 -
(xv) Buyers
shall have purchased Units representing not less than $10 million of the
aggregate Purchase Price.
(xvi) Contemporaneously
with the Closing, the Company shall file with the SEC a Current Report on Form
8-K, which shall include financial statements of the Company and its
Subsidiaries for the period ending September 30, 2006, which have been reviewed
by Xxxxxxxxx & Company, LP and have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, during the
periods involved (except in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the
extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements)
and
which fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the

adjustments.

transactions contemplated by this Agreement as such Buyer or its counsel may
reasonably request.
8. TERMINATION.
In
the
event that the Closing shall not have occurred with respect to a Buyer on or
before five (5) Business Days from the date hereof due to the Company's or
such
Buyer's failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 6 and 7 above
(and the nonbreaching party's failure to waive such unsatisfied condition(s)),
the nonbreaching party shall have the option to terminate this Agreement with
respect to such breaching party at the close of business on such date without
liability of any party to any other party; provided,
however,
that if
this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 8, Ever Leader and the
Company shall remain obligated to reimburse the non-breaching Buyers for the
expenses described in Section 4(g) above.
9. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial.
All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New
York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision
or
rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would
cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State
of
New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
of
the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of
Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection
herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and
hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or
proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction
of
any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an
inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is
improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process
and
consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such 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.
EACH
PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO
REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY.
-
29 -
(b) Counterparts.
This
Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which
shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when
counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party;
provided that a facsimile signature shall be considered due execution and shall
be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if
the
signature were an original, not a facsimile signature.
(c) Headings.
The
headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form
part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.
(d) Severability.
If any
provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or
the
validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other
jurisdiction.
(e) Entire
Agreement; Amendments.
This
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents supersede all other prior oral
or
written agreements between the Buyers, the Company, their affiliates and Persons
acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this
Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein
and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to
the
matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein
or therein, neither the Company nor any Buyer makes any representation,
warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision
of
this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed
by
the Company and the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate number
of
Registrable Securities issued and issuable hereunder, and any amendment to
this
Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(e) shall
be
binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities as applicable. No provision
hereof may be waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party
against whom enforcement is sought. No such amendment shall be effective to
the
extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the applicable
Securities then outstanding. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any
Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of
any
of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration also is offered
to
all of the parties to the Transaction Documents, and the holders of the
Warrants. The Company has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements
with
any Buyers relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Company confirms that, except as set forth
in this Agreement, no Buyer has made any commitment or promise or has any other
obligation to provide any financing to the Company or otherwise.

Shares or the Warrants. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the holders
of at least a majority of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities issued
and issuable hereunder, including by way of a Fundamental Transaction (unless
the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing
Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Warrants). A Buyer may assign some
or
all of its rights hereunder without the consent of the Company, in which event
such assignee shall be deemed to be a Buyer hereunder with respect to such
assigned rights
(h) No
Third Party Beneficiaries.
This
Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any
provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.
(i) Survival.
Unless
this Agreement is terminated under Section 8, the representations and warranties
of the Company and the Buyers contained in Sections 2 and 3, and the agreements
and covenants set forth in Sections 4, 5 and 9 shall survive the Closing. Each
Buyer shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties,
agreements and covenants hereunder.
(j) Further
Assurances.
Each
party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further
acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements,
certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably
request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby.
-
32 -
(k) Indemnification.
In
consideration of each Buyer's execution and delivery of the Transaction
Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of
the
Company's other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall
defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer and each other holder
of
the Securities and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers,
directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing
Persons' agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those
retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement)
(collectively, the "Indemnitees")
from
and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs,
penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith
(irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which
indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys' fees
and disbursements (the "Indemnified
Liabilities"),
incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to
(a)
any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the
Company in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or
document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant,
agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents
or
any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby
or
(c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee
by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought
on
behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution,
delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any other
certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any
transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or
indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, (iii) any
disclosure made by such Buyer pursuant to Section 4(i), or (iv) the status
of
such Buyer or holder of the Securities as an investor in the Company pursuant
to
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. To the extent that
the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason,
the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction
of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable
law.
Except as otherwise set forth herein, the mechanics and procedures with respect
to the rights and obligations under this Section 9(k) shall be the same as
those
set forth in Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement.
(l) No
Strict Construction.
The
language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by
the
parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction
will
be applied against any party.
(m) Remedies.
Each
Buyer and each holder of the Securities shall have all rights and remedies
set
forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such
holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract
and
all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having
any
rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such
rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover
damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to
exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes
that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all
of
its obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove
to
be inadequate relief to the Buyers. The Company therefore agrees that the Buyers
shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any
such
case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a
bond
or other security.
(n) Rescission
and
Withdrawal Right.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting
any
similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Buyer exercises
a
right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company
does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein
provided, then such Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from
time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand
or
election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and
rights.
-
33 -
(o) Payment
Set Aside.
To the
extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Buyers hereunder
or
pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or the Buyers enforce or
exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments
or
the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside,
recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise
restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any
law
(including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal
law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such
restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied
shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment
had
not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
(p) Independent
Nature of Buyers' Obligations and Rights.
The
obligations of each Buyer under any Transaction Document are several and not
joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible
in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under
any
Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction
Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall
be
deemed to constitute the Buyers as, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers
do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any
other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way
acting in concert or as a group, and the Company will not assert any such claim
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers are not
acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges
and each Buyer confirms that it has independently participated in the
negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own
counsel and advisors. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect
and
enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of
this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not
be
necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any
proceeding for such purpose.
(q) Agent
for Service of Process (i)
Each
of the Company and Ever Leader (the "Foreign
Parties")
hereby
irrevocably appoints National Corporate Research, Ltd., of 000
Xxxx
00xx
Xxxxxx,
Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxx, X.X. 00000, X.X.X. ("NCR")
as its
agent for the receipt of service of process in the United States. Each Foreign
Party agrees that any document may be effectively served on it in connection
with any action, suit or proceeding in the United States by service on its
agents. Each of the Buyers consents and agrees that each Foreign Party may,
in
its reasonable discretion, irrevocably appoint a substitute agent for the
receipt of service of process located within the Untied States, and that upon
such appointment, the appointment of NCR may be revoked.
(ii)
Any
document shall be deemed to have been duly served if marked for the attention
of
the agent at its address as set forth in this Section 9(q) or such other address
in the United States as may be notified to the party wishing to serve the
document and (a) left at the specified address if its receipt is acknowledged
in
writing; or (b) sent to the specified address by post, registered mail return
receipt requested. In the case of (a), the document will be deemed to have
been
duly served when it is left and signed for. In the case of (b), the document
shall be deemed to have been duly served when received and
acknowledged.
-
34 -
(iii)
If
any Foreign Party's agent at any time ceases for any reason to act as such,
such
Foreign Party shall promptly appoint a replacement agent having an address
for
service in the United States and shall promptly notify the each holder of Common
Shares at such time of the name and address of the replacement agent. Failing
such appointment and notification, the holders of a majority of the Common
Shares at such time shall be entitled by notice to such Foreign Party to appoint
a replacement agent to act on such Foreign Party's behalf. The provisions of
this Section 9(q) applying to service on an agent apply equally to service
on a
replacement agent.
(r) Currency.
As used
herein, "Dollar", "US Dollar" and "$" each mean the lawful money of the United
States.
