Reports”), filed with the United States

Act”). |

|
In

from the officers of the Company concerning the Company, the officers and
directors, and the terms and conditions of this investment, and to obtain
any additional information, to the extent the Company possesses that
information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, to

|
The
Investor believes that investment in the Securities is suitable for the

subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, contracts, demands, commitments,

character or nature whatever, other than this Agreement, under which the

sale of the Units, the Common Shares or the Warrants constitutes an event,
under any anti-dilution provisions of any securities issued or issuable by
the Company or any agreements with respect to the issuance of securities by
the Company, which will either increase the number of shares issuable
pursuant to such provisions or decrease the consideration per share to be

diminish any right granted to the Investors in this Agreement. |
|
(p) |
|
All
securities issued by the Company have been issued in full compliance with an
exemption or exemptions from the registration and prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act and from the registration and
qualification requirements of all applicable state securities laws. |
|
(q) |
|
Outstanding
Debt. The Company does not have any material indebtedness incurred as
the result of a direct borrowing of money, including, but not limited to,
indebtedness with respect to trade accounts, except as set forth in the
Company’s most recent financial statements contained in the Company’s
SEC Reports or the notes thereto. The Company is not in default in the
payment of the principal of or interest or premium on any such
indebtedness, and no event has occurred or is continuing under the
provisions of any instrument, document or agreement evidencing or relating
to any such indebtedness |
– 13 –
|
which
with the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an event of
default thereunder. |
|
(r) |
|
Assets
and Contracts. The Company has filed all material agreements required
to be filed or submitted with its SEC Reports under the rules and
regulations of the SEC. The Company has in all material respects
substantially performed all obligations required to be performed by it to
date and is not in default in any material respect under any of the
contracts, agreements, leases, documents, commitments or other
arrangements to which it is a party or by which it is otherwise bound. All
instruments material to the Company’s business or otherwise described
in this section are in effect and enforceable according to their
respective terms, and there is not under any of such instruments any
existing material default or event of default or event which, with notice

in substantial compliance therewith and none are in material default in
any respect thereunder. |

reflected in such financial statements and all accounts receivable of the
Company which have arisen since the latest date of the balance sheet
contained in such financial statements (except such accounts receivable as

Company. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, no employer or
former employer of any employee of the Company has any claim of any kind
whatsoever in respect of any of such rights. |

The
Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC sixty
(60) days after the Closing Date, a registration statement (on Form X-0, XX-0, XX-0, X-0,
or other appropriate registration statement form reasonably acceptable to the Company)
under the Securities Act (the “Registration Statement”),
in respect of each Investor, so as to permit a public offering and resale of the Common
Shares and the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”)
in the United States under the Securities Act by such Investor as a selling stockholder
and not as an underwriter. |
|
In
the event that (i) the Registration Statement to be filed by the Company pursuant to this
Section 5 is not filed with the SEC within sixty (60) days from the Closing Date, then
the Company, on the sixty-first (61st) day following the Closing Date, will
issue to each Subscriber a number of Common Shares two percent (2%) of the aggregate
number of the Common Shares issued to the Subscriber and on each thirty day period
thereafter, a number of Common Shares equal to two percent (2%) of the aggregate number
of the Common Shares issued to the Subscriber under this Agreement until such
Registration Statement has been filed. Such payment of the liquidated damages shall be
made to the Investors in cash, within five (5) calendar days of demand, provided,
however, that the payment of such liquidated damages shall not relieve the Company from
its obligations to register the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement. |
|
Each
Investor will cooperate with the Company in all respects in connection with the
Registration Statement, including timely supplying all information reasonably requested
by the Company (which shall include all information regarding the Investor and proposed
manner of sale of the Registrable Securities required to be disclosed in any Registration
Statement) and executing and returning all documents reasonably requested in connection
with the registration and sale of the Registrable Securities and entering into and
performing its obligations under any underwriting agreement, if the offering is an
underwritten offering, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter or
underwriters of such underwritten offering. Any delay or delays caused by an Investor, or
by any other purchaser of securities of the Company having registration rights similar to
those contained herein, by failure to cooperate as required hereunder shall not
constitute a breach or default of the Company under this Agreement. |
6.1 |
|
From
time to time during the period commencing as of the Closing Date and until one hundred
twenty (120) days following the effective date of the Registration Statement contemplated
in Section 5 of this Agreement (the “Restricted Period”), the Company shall not
enter into any agreement to sell Common Shares or any equity based securities without the
prior written consent |
– 16 –
|
of
the Lead Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company may offer and sell Common Shares equity based securities during
the Restricted Period as follows: |
|
|
(a) |
|
up
to 1,000,000 Common Shares in compensatory arrangements or issuable upon
exercise of compensatory stock options granted to employees, officers
and/or directors, which have been approved by the Company’s board of
directors; |
|
|
(b) |
|
up
to 1,000,000 Common Shares to consultants and professional as compensation
for services approved by the Company’s board of directors; |

Should
the Company desire to sell any newly issued securities during the twelve months following
the Closing Date, the Company shall provide written notice to the Lead Investor in the
following manner (the “Offer Notice”). The Offer
Notice must specify all of the terms and conditions of the proposed sale, but may omit
the identity of the proposed purchaser(s) (collectively, the “Proposed
Purchaser”). The Investors shall have the option, but not the
obligation, within five (5) business days after receipt of the Offer Notice to purchase
any or all of the securities specified in the Offer Notice (“Offered Securities”)
at the price and on all the terms stated in the Offer Notice, including, without
limitation, the closing date and manner of delivery of funds. If any Investor exercises
such option, Lead Investor shall deliver written notice to the Company within such five
(5) business day period. If any Investor exercises such option but fails to close in
accordance with the terms set forth in the Offer Notice, then such Investor shall have no
further rights under this Section 6.2. If an Investor does not elect to purchase the
Offered Securities within said five (5) business day period, then the Company shall be
under no obligation to sell any of the Offered Securities to that Investor. If no
Investor elects to purchase Offered Securities within said five (5) business day period,
then the Company shall be under no obligation to sell any of the Offered Stock to any of
the Investors, but may instead sell any portion, or all, of the Offered Securities to the
Proposed Purchaser at the price and on the terms and conditions specified in Offer
Notice, within ninety (90) days of delivery of the Offer Notice. The Company may
not, however, without giving a new notice of its intention to so do pursuant to this
Section 6.2, sell any or all of the Offered Securities beyond said ninety (90) day period
or at any other price or on any terms and conditions other than those specified in the
Offer Notice. |
