from such registration, which opinion shall be accepted by the
Company, (c) the Securities are sold or transferred to an "affiliate"
(as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (or a successor

the Company; (ii) any sale of such Securities made in reliance on Rule
144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of said Rule and
further, if said Rule is not applicable, any re-sale of such
Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the person

that term is defined in the 0000 Xxx) may require compliance with some
other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the
SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other person is
under any obligation to register such Securities under the 1933 Act or
any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions
of any exemption thereunder (in each case, other than pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing or
anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Securities may be
pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or
other lending arrangement. In the event that the Company does not
accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Buyer with respect to
the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration,
such as Rule 144 or Regulation S, within three (3)
business days of delivery of the opinion to the Company, the Company
shall pay to the Buyer liquidated damages of three percent (3%) of the
outstanding amount of the Debentures per month plus accrued and unpaid
interest on the Debentures, prorated for partial months, in cash or
shares at the option of the Buyer ("STANDARD LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

Damages Amount in shares of Common Stock, such shares shall be issued
at the Conversion Price at the time of payment.
G. LEGENDS. The Buyer understands that the Debentures and the
Warrants and, until such time as the Conversion Shares and Warrant

Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise may be sold pursuant to
Rule 144 or Regulation S without any restriction as to the number of
securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold,
the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares may bear a restrictive legend
in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be
placed against transfer of the certificates for such Securities): "The
securities represented by this certificate have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The securities may not
be sold, transferred or assigned in the absence of an effective
registration statement for the securities under said Act, or an
opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for
opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, that registration is
not required under said Act or unless sold pursuant to Rule 144 or
Regulation S under said Act." The legend set forth above shall be
removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend
to the holder of any Security upon which it is stamped, if, unless
otherwise required by applicable state securities laws, (a) such
Security is registered for sale under an effective registration
statement filed under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant
to Rule 144 or Regulation S without any restriction as to the number
of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately
sold, or (b) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of
counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of
counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale
or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under
the 1933 Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that
the sale or transfer is effected or (c) such holder provides the
Company with reasonable assurances that such Security can be sold
pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S. The Buyer agrees to sell all
Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which
the legend has been removed, in compliance with applicable prospectus
delivery requirements, if any.

correct in all material respects and the Company has not omitted to
state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made
herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. No event or circumstance has occurred or 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 (assuming for this purpose that the
Company's reports filed under the 1934 Act are being incorporated into
an effective registration statement filed by the Company under the
1933 Act).
O. ACKNOWLEDGMENT REGARDING BUYERS' PURCHASE OF SECURITIES. The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the Buyers are acting solely in
the capacity of arm's length purchasers with respect to this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company further
acknowledges that no Buyer is acting as a financial advisor or
fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and any
statement made by any Buyer or any of their respective representatives
or agents in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby is not advice or a recommendation and is merely
incidental to the Buyers' purchase of the Securities. The Company
further represents to each Buyer that the Company's decision to enter
into this Agreement has been based solely on the independent
evaluation of the Company and its representatives.
P. NO INTEGRATED OFFERING. Neither the Company, nor any of its
affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly
or indirectly made any offers
or sales in any security or solicited any offers to buy any security
under circumstances that would require registration under the 1933 Act
of the issuance of the Securities to the Buyers. The issuance of the
Securities to the Buyers will not be integrated with any other
issuance of the Company's securities (past, current or future) for
purposes of any stockholder approval provisions applicable to the
Company or its securities.
Q. NO BROKERS. The Company has taken no action which would give
rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, transaction
fees or similar payments relating to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby.
R. PERMITS; COMPLIANCE. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries
is in possession of all franchises, grants, authorizations, licenses,
permits, easements, variances, exemptions, consents, certificates,
approvals and orders necessary to own, lease and operate its
properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted
(collectively, the "COMPANY PERMITS"), and there is no action pending
or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened regarding suspension
or cancellation of any of the Company Permits. Neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries is in conflict with, or in default or
violation of, any of the Company Permits, except for any such
conflicts, defaults or violations which, individually or in the
aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Since December 31, 2001, neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries has received any notification with respect to possible
conflicts, defaults or violations of applicable laws, except for
notices relating to possible conflicts, defaults or violations, which
conflicts, defaults or violations would not have a Material Adverse
Effect.
S. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.
(I) Except as set forth in SCHEDULE 3(S), there are, to the
Company's knowledge, with respect to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or any predecessor of the Company, no past or
present violations of Environmental Laws (as defined below),
releases of any material into the environment, actions,
activities, circumstances, conditions, events, incidents, or
contractual obligations which may give rise to any common law
environmental liability or any liability under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 or
similar federal, state, local or foreign laws and neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice with
respect to any of the foregoing, nor is any action pending or, to
the Company's knowledge, threatened in connection with any of the
foregoing. 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
hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, "HAZARDOUS
MATERIALS") into the environment, or otherwise relating to the
manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage,
disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well
as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters,
injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters,
orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered,
promulgated or approved thereunder.
(II) Other than those that are or were stored, used or
disposed of in compliance with applicable law, no Hazardous
Materials are contained on or about any real property currently
owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
and no Hazardous Materials were released on or about any real
property previously owned, leased or used by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries during the period the property was owned,
leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except
in the normal course of the Company's or any of its Subsidiaries'
business.
(III) Except as set forth in SCHEDULE 3(S), there are no
underground storage tanks on or under any real property owned,
leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that are
not in compliance with applicable law.
T. TITLE TO PROPERTY. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good
and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and
marketable title to all personal property owned by them which is
material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each
case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such
as are described in SCHEDULE 3(T) or such as would not have a Material
Adverse Effect. Any real property and facilities held under lease by
the Company and its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid,
subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as would not
have a Material Adverse Effect.
U. INSURANCE. 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 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. The Company has provided to Buyer true and
correct copies of all policies relating to directors' and officers'
liability coverage, errors and omissions coverage, and commercial
general liability coverage.
V. INTERNAL ACCOUNTING CONTROLS. The Company and each of its
Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls
sufficient, in the judgment of the Company's board of directors, 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 accountability, (iii) access to
assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general or
specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets
is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and
appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.
W. FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES. Neither the Company, nor any of its
Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other
person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary has, in the
course of his actions for, or on behalf of, the Company, used any
corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or
other unlawful expenses relating to political activity; made any
direct or indirect unlawful payment to any
foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate
funds; violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S.
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or made any bribe,
rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment
to any foreign or domestic government official or employee.
X. SOLVENCY. The Company (after giving effect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement) is solvent (i.e., its assets have a
fair market value in excess of the amount required to pay its probable
liabilities on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured)
and currently the Company has no information that would lead it to
reasonably conclude that the Company would not, after giving effect to
the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, have the ability to,
nor does it intend to take any action that would impair its ability
to, pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection therewith
as such debts mature. The Company did not receive a qualified opinion
from its auditors with respect to its most recent fiscal year end and,
after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, does not anticipate or know of any basis upon which its
auditors might issue a qualified opinion in respect of its current
fiscal year.
Y. NO INVESTMENT COMPANY. The Company is not, and upon the
issuance and sale of the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement
will not be an "investment company" required to be registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (an "INVESTMENT COMPANY"). The
Company is not controlled by an Investment Company.
Z. BREACH OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY THE COMPANY. If
the Company breaches any of the representations or warranties set
forth in this Section 3, and in addition to any other remedies
available to the Buyers pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall
pay to the Buyer the Standard Liquidated Damages Amount in cash or in
shares of Common Stock at the option of the Buyer, until such breach
is cured. If the Buyers elect to be paid the Standard Liquidated
Damages Amounts in shares of Common Stock, such shares shall be issued
at the Conversion Price at the time of payment.
4. COVENANTS.
A. BEST EFFORTS. The parties shall use their best efforts to
satisfy timely each of the conditions described in Section 6 and 7 of
this Agreement.
B. FORM D; BLUE SKY LAWS. The Company agrees to file a Form D
with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to
provide a copy thereof to each Buyer promptly after such filing. The
Company shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the
Company shall reasonably determine is necessary to qualify the
Securities for sale to the Buyers at the applicable closing pursuant
to this Agreement under applicable securities or "blue sky" laws of
the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such
qualification), and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken
to each Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date.
C. REPORTING STATUS; ELIGIBILITY TO USE FORM S-3, SB-2 OR FORM
S-1. The Company's Common Stock is registered under Section 12(g) of
the 1934 Act. The Company represents and warrants that it meets the
requirements for the use of Form S-3 (or if the
Company is not eligible for the use of Form S-3 as of the Filing Date
(as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the Company may use
the form of registration for which it is eligible at that time) for
registration of the sale by the Buyer of the Registrable Securities
(as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). So long as the
Buyer beneficially owns any of the Securities, the Company shall
timely file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to
the 1934 Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an
issuer required to file reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934
Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such
termination. The Company further agrees to file all reports required
to be filed by the Company with the SEC in a timely manner so as to
become eligible, and thereafter to maintain its eligibility, for the
use of Form S-3. The Company shall issue a press release describing
the materials terms of the transaction contemplated hereby as soon as
practicable following the Closing Date but in no event more than two
(2) business days of the Closing Date, which press release shall be
subject to prior review by the Buyers. The Company agrees that such
press release shall not disclose the name of the Buyers unless
expressly consented to in writing by the Buyers or unless required by
applicable law or regulation, and then only to the extent of such
requirement.
D. USE OF PROCEEDS. The Company shall use the proceeds from the
sale of the Debentures and the Warrants in the manner set forth in
SCHEDULE 4(D) attached hereto and made a part hereof and shall not,
directly or indirectly, use such proceeds for any loan to or
investment in any other corporation, partnership, enterprise or other
person (except in connection with its currently existing direct or
indirect Subsidiaries)
E. FUTURE OFFERINGS. Subject to the exceptions described below,
the Company will not, without the prior written consent of a
majority-in-interest of the Buyers, not to be unreasonably withheld,
negotiate or contract with any party to obtain additional equity
financing (including debt financing with an equity component) that
involves (A) the issuance of Common Stock at a discount to the market
price of the Common Stock on the date of issuance (taking into account
the value of any warrants or options to acquire Common Stock issued in
connection therewith) or (B) the issuance of convertible securities
that are convertible into an indeterminate number of shares of Common
Stock or (C) the issuance of warrants during the period (the "LOCK-UP
PERIOD") beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the later of (i)
two hundred seventy (270) days from the Closing Date and (ii) one
hundred eighty (180) days from the date the Registration Statement (as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) is declared effective
(plus any days in which sales cannot be made thereunder). In addition,
subject to the exceptions described below, the Company will not
conduct any equity financing (including debt with an equity component)
("FUTURE OFFERINGS") during the period beginning on the Closing Date
and ending two (2) years after the end of the Lock-up Period unless it
shall have first delivered to each Buyer, at least twenty (20)
business days prior to the closing of such Future Offering, written
notice describing the proposed Future Offering, including the terms
and conditions thereof and proposed definitive documentation to be
entered into in connection therewith, and providing each Buyer an
option during the fifteen (15) day period following delivery of such
notice to purchase its pro rata share (based on the ratio that the
aggregate principal amount of Debentures purchased by it hereunder
bears to the aggregate principal amount of Debentures purchased
hereunder) of the securities being offered in the Future Offering on
the same terms as contemplated by such Future Offering (the
limitations referred to
in this sentence and the preceding sentence are collectively referred
to as the "CAPITAL RAISING LIMITATIONS"). In the event the terms and
conditions of a proposed Future Offering are amended in any respect
after delivery of the notice to the Buyers concerning the proposed
Future Offering, the Company shall deliver a new notice to each Buyer
describing the amended terms and conditions of the proposed Future
Offering and each Buyer thereafter shall have an option during the
fifteen (15) day period following delivery of such new notice to
purchase its pro rata share of the securities being offered on the
same terms as contemplated by such proposed Future Offering, as
amended. The foregoing sentence shall apply to successive amendments
to the terms and conditions of any proposed Future Offering. The
Capital Raising Limitations shall not apply to any transaction
involving (i) issuances of securities in a firm commitment
underwritten public offering (excluding a continuous offering pursuant
to Rule 415 under the 0000 Xxx) or (ii) issuances of securities as
consideration for a merger, consolidation or purchase of assets, or in
connection with any strategic partnership or joint venture (the
primary purpose of which is not to raise equity capital), or in
connection with the disposition or acquisition of a business, product
or license by the Company. The Capital Raising Limitations also shall
not apply to the issuance of securities upon exercise or conversion of
the Company's options, warrants or other convertible securities
outstanding as of the date hereof or to the grant of additional
options or warrants, or the issuance of additional securities, under
any Company stock option or restricted stock plan approved by the
stockholders of the Company.
F. EXPENSES. At the Closing, the Company shall reimburse Buyers
for expenses incurred by them in connection with the negotiation,
preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
the other agreements to be executed in connection herewith
("Documents"), including, without limitation, attorneys' and
consultants' fees and expenses, transfer agent fees, fees for stock
quotation services, fees relating to any amendments or modifications
of the Documents or any consents or waivers of provisions in the
Documents, fees for the preparation of opinions of counsel, escrow
fees, and costs of restructuring the transactions contemplated by the
Documents. When possible, the Company must pay these fees directly,
otherwise the Company must make immediate payment for reimbursement to
the Buyers for all fees and expenses immediately upon written notice
by the Buyer or the submission of an invoice by the Buyer. If the
Company fails to reimburse the Buyer in full within three (3) business
days of the written notice or submission of invoice by the Buyer, the
Company shall pay interest on the total amount of fees to be
reimbursed at a rate of 15% per annum.
G. FINANCIAL INFORMATION. The Company agrees to send the
following reports to each Buyer until such Buyer transfers, assigns,
or sells all of the Securities: (i) within ten (10) days after the
filing with the SEC, a copy of its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, its
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB and any Current Reports on Form 8-K;
(ii) within one (1) day after release, copies of all press releases
issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and (iii)
contemporaneously with the making available or giving to the
stockholders of the Company, copies of any notices or other
information the Company makes available or gives to such stockholders.
H. AUTHORIZATION AND RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company shall at
all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the full
conversion or exercise of the outstanding Debentures
and Warrants and issuance of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares
in connection therewith (based on the Conversion Price of the
Debentures or Exercise Price of the Warrants in effect from time to
time) and as otherwise required by the Debentures. The Company shall
not reduce the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance
upon conversion of Debentures and exercise of the Warrants without the
consent of each Buyer. The Company shall at all times maintain the
number of shares of Common Stock so reserved for issuance at an amount
("RESERVED AMOUNT") equal to no less than two (2) times the number
that is then actually issuable upon full conversion of the Debentures
and Additional Debentures and upon exercise of the Warrants and the
Additional Warrants (based on the Conversion Price of the Debentures
or the Exercise Price of the Warrants in effect from time to time). If
at any time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and
reserved for issuance ("AUTHORIZED AND RESERVED SHARES") is below the
Reserved Amount, the Company will promptly take all corporate action
necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares,
including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of
stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company's
obligations under this Section 4(h), in the case of an insufficient
number of authorized shares, obtain stockholder approval of an
increase in such authorized number of shares, and voting the
management shares of the Company in favor of an increase in the
authorized shares of the Company to ensure that the number of
authorized shares is sufficient to meet the Reserved Amount. If the
Company fails to obtain such stockholder approval within thirty (30)
days following the date on which the number of Authorized and Reserved
Shares exceeds the Reserved Amount, the Company shall pay to the
Borrower the Standard Liquidated Damages Amount, in cash or in shares
of Common Stock at the option of the Buyer. If the Buyer elects to be
paid the Standard Liquidated Damages Amount in shares of Common Stock,
such shares shall be issued at the Conversion Price at the time of
payment. In order to ensure that the Company has authorized a
sufficient amount of shares to meet the Reserved Amount at all times,
the Company must deliver to the Buyer at the end of every month a list
detailing (1) the current amount of shares authorized by the Company
and reserved for the Buyer; and (2) amount of shares issuable upon
conversion of the Debentures and upon exercise of the Warrants and as
payment of interest accrued on the Debentures for one year. If the
Company fails to provide such list within five (5) business days of
the end of each month, the Company shall pay the Standard Liquidated
Damages Amount, in cash or in shares of Common Stock at the option of
the Buyer, until the list is delivered. If the Buyer elects to be paid
the Standard Liquidated Damages Amount in shares of Common Stock, such
shares shall be issued at the Conversion Price at the time of payment.
I. LISTING. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the
Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares upon each national securities
exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of
Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance)
and, so long as any Buyer owns any of the Securities, shall maintain,
so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such
listing of all Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares from time to time
issuable upon conversion of the Debentures or exercise of the
Warrants. The Company will obtain and, so long as any Buyer owns any
of the Securities, maintain the listing and trading of its Common
Stock on the OTCBB, the Nasdaq National Market ("NASDAQ"), the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market ("NASDAQ SMALLCAP"), the New York Stock Exchange
("NYSE"), or the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") and will comply in
all respects with the Company's reporting, filing and other
obligations under the bylaws or rules of
the National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") and such
exchanges, as applicable. The Company shall promptly provide to each
Buyer copies of any notices it receives from the OTCBB and any other
exchanges or quotation systems on which the Common Stock is then
listed regarding the continued eligibility of the Common Stock for
listing on such exchanges and quotation systems.
J. CORPORATE EXISTENCE. So long as a Buyer beneficially owns any
Debentures or Warrants, the Company shall maintain its corporate
existence and shall not sell all or substantially all of the Company's
assets, except in the event of a merger or consolidation or sale of
all or substantially all of the Company's assets, where the surviving
or successor entity in such transaction (i) assumes the Company's
obligations hereunder and under the agreements and instruments entered
into in connection herewith and (ii) is a publicly traded corporation
whose Common Stock is listed for trading on the OTCBB, Nasdaq, Nasdaq
SmallCap, NYSE or AMEX.
K. NO INTEGRATION. The Company shall not make any offers or sales
of any security (other than the Securities) under circumstances that
would require registration of the Securities being offered or sold
hereunder under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of the Securities
to be integrated with any other offering of securities by the Company
for the purpose of any stockholder approval provision applicable to
the Company or its securities.
L. SUBSEQUENT INVESTMENT. The Company and the Buyers agree that,
upon the declaration of effectiveness of the Registration Statement to
be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (the "EFFECTIVE
DATE"), the Buyers shall purchase additional debentures ("ADDITIONAL
DEBENTURES") in the aggregate principal amount of Two Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($250,000) and additional warrants (the "ADDITIONAL
WARRANTS") to purchase an aggregate of 750,000 shares of Common Stock,
for an aggregate purchase price of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($250,000), with the closing of such purchase to occur within five (5)
business days of the Effective Date; provided, however, that the
obligation of each Buyer to purchase the Additional Debentures and the
Additional Warrants is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the
closing of such purchase and sale, of the conditions set forth in
Section 7; and, provided, further, that there shall not have been a
Material Adverse Effect as of such effective date. The terms of the
Additional Debentures and the Additional Warrants shall be identical
to the terms of the Debentures and Warrants, as the case may be, to be
issued on the Closing Date. The Common Stock underlying the Additional
Debentures and the Additional Warrants shall be Registrable Securities
(as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and shall be
included in the Registration Statement to be filed pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement.
M. BREACH OF COVENANTS. If the Company breaches any of the
covenants set forth in this Section 4, and in addition to any other
remedies available to the Buyers pursuant to this Agreement, the
Company shall pay to the Buyers the Standard Liquidated Damages
Amount, in cash or in shares of Common Stock at the option of the
Buyer, until such breach is cured. If the Buyers elect to be paid the
Standard Liquidated Damages Amount in shares, such shares shall be
issued at the Conversion Price at the time of payment.
5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS. The Company shall issue irrevocable
instructions to its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name
of
each Buyer or its nominee, for the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in such
amounts as specified from time to time by each Buyer to the Company upon
conversion of the Debentures or exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the
terms thereof (the "IRREVOCABLE TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS"). Prior to
registration of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares under the 1933 Act or
the date on which the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares may be sold pursuant
to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a
particular date that can then be immediately sold, all such certificates shall
bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 2(g) of this Agreement. The
Company warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions referred to in this Section 5, and stop transfer instructions to
give effect to Section 2(f) hereof (in the case of the Conversion Shares and
Warrant Shares, prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number
of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold), 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 Registration Rights Agreement.
Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Buyer's obligations and
agreement set forth in Section 2(g) hereof to comply with all applicable
prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon re-sale of the Securities. If a
Buyer provides the Company with (i) an opinion of counsel in form, substance and
scope customary for opinions in comparable transactions, to the effect that a
public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration
under the 1933 Act and such sale or transfer is effected or (ii) the Buyer
provides reasonable assurances that the Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule
144, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion
Shares and Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or
more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such
denominations as specified by such Buyer. The Company acknowledges that a breach
by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyers, by
vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby.
Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its
obligations under this Section 5 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a
breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section,
that the Buyers shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies,
to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer,
without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other
security being required.
6. CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATION TO SELL. The obligation of
the Company hereunder to issue and sell the Debentures and Warrants to a Buyer
at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date of
each of the following conditions thereto, provided that these conditions are for
the Company's sole benefit and may be waived by the Company at any time in its

in all material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions
required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with
by the applicable Buyer at or prior to the Closing Date.
d. No litigation, statute, rule, regulation, executive order,

promulgated or endorsed by or in any court or governmental authority
of competent jurisdiction or any self-regulatory organization having

consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
7. CONDITIONS TO EACH BUYER'S OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE. The obligation
of each Buyer hereunder to purchase the Debentures and Warrants at the Closing

benefit and may be waived by such Buyer at any time in its sole discretion:
a. The Company shall have executed this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement, and delivered the same to the Buyer.

as of the Closing Date as though made at such time (except for

the Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all
material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions
required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with

e. No litigation, statute, rule, regulation, executive order,
decree, ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered,

of competent jurisdiction or any self-regulatory organization having

Agreement.
f. No event shall have occurred which could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.
g. The Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares shall have been
authorized for quotation on the OTCBB and trading in the Common Stock

consent of the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to

shall survive the closing hereunder notwithstanding any due diligence
investigation conducted by or on behalf of the Buyers. The Company

officers, directors, employees and agents for loss or damage arising
as a result of or related to any breach or alleged breach by the

obligations under this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement,
including advancement of expenses as they are incurred.
J. PUBLICITY. The Company and each of the Buyers shall have the
right to review a reasonable period of time before issuance of any
press releases, SEC, OTCBB or NASD filings, 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 each of the Buyers, to make any press release or
SEC, OTCBB (or other applicable trading market) or NASD filings with
respect to such transactions as is required by applicable law and
regulations (although each of the Buyers shall be consulted by the
Company in connection with any such press release prior to its release
and shall be provided with a copy thereof and be given an opportunity
to comment thereon).
K. 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 the 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.
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. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyers by
vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated
hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law
for a breach of its obligations under this Agreement will be
inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach
by the Company of the provisions of this Agreement, that the Buyers
shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law
or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to
an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any
breach of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions hereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and
without any bond or other security being required.
