“The

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

registration is not required under said Act or unless sold pursuant to Rule
144
or Regulation S under said Act.”

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

amended or updated under applicable law (except for such statements as have
been
amended or updated in subsequent filings prior the date hereof). As of their

hereof,
to the best of the Company’s knowledge, as presently contemplated to be operated
in the future); there is no claim or action by any person pertaining to,

hereof,
to the best of the Company’s knowledge, as presently contemplated to be operated

to

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).

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 shareholder 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

Company and each of its Subsidiaries is in possession of all franchises,
grants,

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,
2004, 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.
-10-
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.
Except
as set forth in
Schedule 3(u),
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.
-11-
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 Company, until such breach is cured. If the Company elects to pay 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.
-12-
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 Notes 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 Notes purchased
by it
hereunder bears to the aggregate principal amount of Notes 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”).
f. 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 shareholders of the Company.
g. 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.
-13-
h. 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.
i. 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 Notes and Warrants and issuance
of the
Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in connection therewith (based on the
Conversion Price of the Notes or Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrants)
of
the Warrants in effect from time to time) and as otherwise required by the
Notes. The Company shall not reduce the number of shares of Common Stock
reserved for issuance upon conversion of Notes 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 Notes and Additional Notes and upon exercise of the
Warrants and the Additional Warrants (based on the Conversion Price of the
Notes
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 Reserved Amount exceeds the Authorized and Reserved Shares, 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 Notes and upon exercise of the Warrants
and as payment of interest accrued on the Notes 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.
j. 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 Notes 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 or any equivalent
replacement exchange, 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.
-14-
k. Corporate
Existence.
So long
as a Buyer beneficially owns any Notes 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.
l. 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.
m. Key
Man Insurance.
The
Company shall use its best efforts to obtain, on or before five (5) business
days from the date hereof, key man life insurance on all of the Company’s
officers and division heads.
n. 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 Company,
until
such breach is cured. If the Company elects to pay 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 Notes 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.
-15-
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

The
obligation of the Company hereunder to issue and sell the Notes and Warrants
to

The
representations and warranties of the Company and the agreements and covenants
set forth in Sections 3, 4, 5 and 8 shall survive the closing hereunder
notwithstanding any due diligence investigation conducted by or on behalf
of the
Buyers. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Buyers
and
all their officers, directors, employees and agents for loss or damage arising
as a result of or related to any breach or alleged breach by the Company
of any
of its representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Sections 3
and 4
hereof or any of its covenants and 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).

party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further

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.
