that the Investor hereby agrees to enter into a 90 day post-Public Offering

(c) REGISTRATION
RIGHTS.
(1) If
the
Company shall at any time determine to proceed with the actual preparation
and
filing of a registration statement under the Act in connection with the proposed
offer and sale of any of its securities by it or any of its security holders
(other than a registration statement on Form X-0, X-0 or other limited purpose
form), then the Company will give written notice of its determination to all
record holders of the Debentures and the Warrants. Upon the written request
from
any holder, the Company will, except as herein provided, cause all such
securities underlying the Debentures and the Warrants to be included in such
registration statement, all to the extent requisite to permit the sale or other
disposition by the prospective seller or sellers of the securities underlying
the Debentures and the Warrants to be so registered; provided, further, that
nothing herein shall prevent the Company from, at any time, abandoning or
delaying any registration. If any registration pursuant to this Section c(1)
shall be underwritten in whole or in part, the Company may require that the
securities underlying the Debentures requested for inclusion by the Holders
be
included in the underwriting on the same terms and conditions as the securities
otherwise being sold through the underwriters. In connection a registration
statement, except for a registration statement in connection with an
underwritten public offering of securities, fees of one (1) counsel for the
holders of the Debentures shall be paid by the Company.
2
(2) If
the
Company does not file a registration statement as set forth in Section c(1)
on
or before February 28, 2007 ( the “Due Date”), the Company shall file a
registration statement on Form SB-2 (or any other applicable form exclusively
for this offering) to register 100% of the shares issuable upon conversion
of
the Debentures and upon exercise of all the Warrants within one (1) week after
the Due Date (the “Filing Date”) and have it declared effective by the sooner of
the date (i) within three (3) days after the Commission states that there will
be no review or that the Commission has no further comments or (ii) 120 days
after the Due Date (the “Effective Date”). In the event of a full review of the
Registration Statement by the SEC, the required Effective Date will be extended
by 30 days. The Company shall use its best efforts to keep any registration
statement filed pursuant to Sections c(1) and (2) continuously effective under
the Securities Act until such date as is the earlier of (x) the date when all
securities covered by such registration statement have been sold or (y) the
date
on which such securities may be sold without any restriction pursuant to Rule
144 as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion
letter, addressed to the Company's transfer agent to such effect. If at any
time
and for any reason, an additional registration statement is required to be
filed
because at such time the actual number of shares of common stock into which
the
Debentures are convertible or the Warrants are exercisable exceeds the number
of
shares of securities remaining under the registration statement, the Company
shall have twenty (20) business days to file such additional registration
statement, and the Company shall use its best efforts to cause such additional
registration statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as
possible, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after filing.
(3) If
the
registration statement is not filed by the Filing Date or declared effective
on
the Effective Date or upon the occurrence of any other registration default
hereunder (a “Registration Default”), the Company shall pay liquidated damages
of 2% of the Subscription Amount per each 30 day period or part thereof
following any Registration Default; provided, however, that such liquidated
damages shall not exceed 20% of the amount invested by each Holder in this
offering. Such damages shall be paid in common stock (with the same registration
rights as set forth herein) valued at an amount equal to ninety percent (90%)
of
the average of the VWAP (as defined below) for the five (5) trading days
immediately preceding the date the liquidated damages become due, but in no
event less than $0.45.
(4) For
purposes hereof, “VWAP”
means,
for any date, (i) the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock
for such date on the OTC Bulletin Board as reported by Bloomberg Financial
L.P.
(based on a trading day from 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time to 4:02 p.m. Eastern Time);
(ii) if the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or admitted
to unlisted trading privileges on such exchange or listed for trading on the
Nasdaq National Market, the current market value shall be the last reported
sale
price of the Common Stock on such exchange or market or if no such sale is
made
on any day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices for such day on
such
exchange or market, (iii) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted
on
the OTC Bulletin Board and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported
in
the “Pink Sheets” published by the Pink Sheets, LLC (or a similar organization
or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent
bid
price per share of the Common Stock so reported; or (iv) in all other cases,
the
fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent
appraiser selected in good faith by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to
the
Company.

If
(i) there is material non-public information regarding the Company which
the
Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") determines not to be in the Company's
best interest to disclose and which the Company is not otherwise required to
disclose, (ii) there is a significant business opportunity (including, but
not

to the contrary contained herein, each Holder shall be liable under this Section
c(7) for only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Holder
as

pursuant to such registration statement.
(9) Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party pursuant to the provisions of Sections
(c)(3) or (4) of notice of the commencement of any action involving the subject
matter of the foregoing indemnity provisions such indemnified party will, if
a
claim thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party pursuant to the
provisions of said Sections (c)(3) or (4), promptly notify the indemnifying
party of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the
indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have
to
any indemnified party otherwise than hereunder. In case such action is brought
against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate
in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying
party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
satisfactory to such indemnified party, provided, however, if counsel for the
indemnifying party concludes that a single counsel cannot under applicable
legal
and ethical considerations, represent both the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party, the indemnified party or parties have the right to select
separate counsel to participate in the defense of such action on behalf of
such
indemnified party or parties. After notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the
indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party pursuant to
the
provisions of said Sections (c)(3) or (4) for any legal or other expense
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless (i) the indemnified
party shall have employed counsel in accordance with the provisions of the
preceding sentence, (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel
satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within
a reasonable time after the notice of the commencement of the action or (iii)
the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the
indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party.
(11) If,
prior
to the dates set forth in Section (5) hereof, the Conversion Shares or
Warrant Shares have been included in Registration Statement filed with the
SEC
in connection
with the Public Offering, or otherwise, and if such Registration Statement
is
declared
effective, and for so long as it remains effective, the Investor shall have
no
rights
to
demand a registration.
6. Acceptance
or Rejection of Subscription.
(a) I
understand and agree that the Company reserves the right to reject this
subscription for the Units, in whole or in part, for any reason and at any
time
prior to the Closing, notwithstanding prior receipt by me of notice of
acceptance of my subscription.
(b) In
the
event of the rejection of this subscription, my subscription payment will be
promptly returned to me without interest or deduction and this Agreement shall
have no force or effect. In the event my subscription is accepted and the
offering is completed, the funds specified above shall be released to the
Company.
6
7. Closing.
The
closing (“Closing”) of this offering shall occur when the Company has received
and accepted subscriptions for the Offering. The Units subscribed for herein
shall not be deemed issued to or owned by me until one copy of this Agreement
has been executed by me and countersigned by the Company and the Closing with
respect to such Units has occurred.
8. Disclosure.
Because
this offering is limited to accredited investors as defined in Section
2(15) of
the
Act, and Rule 501 promulgated
thereunder, in reliance upon the exemption contained in Section 4(2) of the
Act
and applicable state securities laws, the Units are being sold without
registration under the Act. I acknowledge receipt of the Offering Documents
and
all related documents and represent that I have carefully reviewed and
understand the Offering Documents. I have received all information and materials
regarding the Company that I have requested.
I
fully
understand that the Company has a limited financial and operating history and
that the Units are speculative investments which involve a high degree of risk
of the loss of my entire investment. I fully understand the nature of the risks
involved in purchasing the Units and I am qualified by my knowledge and
experience to evaluate investments of this type. I have carefully considered
the
potential risks relating to the Company and purchase of its Units and have,
in
particular, reviewed each of the risks set forth in the Offering Documents.
Both
my advisors and I have had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive
answers from representatives of the Company or persons acting on its behalf
concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of a proposed investment
in
the Company and my advisors and I have also had the opportunity to obtain
additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of information furnished
about the Company. Accordingly, I have independently evaluated the risks of
purchasing the Units.
9.
Company
Representations and Warranties. The
Company acknowledges, represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Investors
as follows:
a) Organization,
Good Standing and Power.
The
Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Nevada and has the requisite corporate
power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its

(collectively, the Form 10-KSB and 10-QSB are referred to herein as the “SEC
Documents”). The Company and each such subsidiary is duly qualified as a foreign
corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in
which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such
qualification necessary except for any jurisdiction(s) (alone or in the
aggregate) in which the failure to be so qualified will not have a Material
Adverse Effect (as defined in Section 9(c) hereof) on the Company’s financial
condition.
(b) Authorization;
Enforcement.
The
Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and
perform this Agreement, the Lock-Up Agreements (as defined in Paragraph 4)
in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit
E,
the
Debentures, and the Warrants (collectively, the “Transaction
Documents”)
and to
issue and sell the Shares and the Warrants in accordance with the terms hereof.
The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the
Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby
and
thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action,
and no further consent or authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors
or stockholders is required. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered
by the Company. The other Transaction Documents will have been duly executed
and
delivered by the Company at the Closing. Each of the Transaction Documents
constitutes, or shall constitute when executed and delivered, a valid and
binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance
with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation,
conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting
generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other
equitable principles of general application.
7
(c) Capitalization.
Except
as set forth on Schedule 9(c), the authorized capital stock of the Company
and
the shares thereof currently issued and outstanding as of the date hereof are
set forth on the dates indicated in the Commission Documents. All of the
outstanding shares of the Common Stock have been duly and validly authorized.
Except as set forth on Schedule 9(c), no shares of Common Stock are entitled
to
preemptive rights or registration rights and there are no outstanding options,
warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, call or commitments of any character
whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, any shares
of
capital stock of the Company. There are no contracts, commitments,
understandings, or arrangements by which the Company is to issue additional
shares of the capital stock of the Company or options, securities or rights
convertible into shares of capital stock of the Company. Except as set forth
on
Schedule 9(c), the Company is not a party to any agreement granting
anti-dilution rights to any person with respect to any of its equity or debt
securities. The Company is not a party to, and it has no knowledge of, any
agreement restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital stock
of the Company. The offer and sale of all capital stock, convertible securities,
rights, warrants, or options of the Company issued prior to the Closing complied
with all applicable Federal and state securities laws, and no stockholder has
a
right of rescission or claim for damages with respect thereto which would have
a
Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). The Company has furnished or made
available to the Investors true and correct copies of the Company’s Articles of
Incorporation as in effect on the date hereof (the “Articles”),
and
the Company’s Bylaws as in effect on the date hereof (the “Bylaws”).
For
the purposes of this Agreement, “Material
Adverse Effect”
means
any material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, prospects,
or financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries and/or any condition,
circumstance, or situation that would prohibit or otherwise materially interfere
with the ability of the Company to perform any of its obligations under this
Agreement in any material respect.
(d) Issuance
of Shares.
The
Debentures and the Warrants to be issued at the Closing have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action. When the Conversion Shares and
the
Warrant Shares are issued in accordance with the terms of the Debenture and
the
Warrants, respectively, such shares will be duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action and validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and
nonassessable, and the holders shall be entitled to all rights accorded to
a
holder of Common Stock.
(e) No
Conflicts.
The
execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company
and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated herein

material filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (all
of
the foregoing including filings incorporated by reference therein, and together
with the SEC Documents being referred to herein as the “Commission

The

complete copies of the Commission Documents. The Company has not provided to
the

times of their respective filings, the SEC Documents complied in all material
respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
of the Commission promulgated thereunder and other federal, state and local
laws, rules and regulations applicable to such documents, and, as of their
respective dates, none of the SEC Documents contained any untrue statement
of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial

to subscribe for any shares of such capital stock. Neither the Company nor
any
subsidiary is subject to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase
or otherwise acquire or retire any shares of the capital stock of any subsidiary
or any convertible securities, rights, warrants or options of the type described

and approvals necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted

contingency.

Investor
Representations and Warranties.
I
acknowledge, represent and warrant to, and agree with, the Company as
follows:
(a) I
am
aware that my investment involves a high degree of risk as disclosed in the
Offering Documents and have read carefully the Offering Documents and Commission
Documents.
(b) I
acknowledge and am aware that there is no assurance as to the future performance
of the Company.
(c) I
acknowledge that there may be certain adverse tax consequences to me in
connection with my purchase of Units, and the Company has advised me to seek
the
advice of experts in such areas prior to making this investment.
(d) I
am
purchasing the Units for my own account for investment purposes and not with
a
view to or for sale in connection with the distribution of the Units, the
Debentures, the Warrants, or the shares of Common Stock or other securities
issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise of the Warrants, nor
with any present intention of selling or otherwise disposing of all or any
part
of the foregoing securities. I agree that I must bear the entire economic risk
of my investment for an indefinite period of time because, among other reasons,
the Units have not been registered under the Act or under the securities laws
of
any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise
disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Act and under
applicable securities laws of certain states or an exemption from such
registration is available. Furthermore, I hereby acknowledge and agree that
I
will not sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, give or otherwise dispose of, either
publicly or privately, the Units, the Debentures, or the shares of Common Stock
or other securities issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise
of
the Warrants, except in compliance with securities law. I hereby authorize
the
Company to place a legend denoting the restrictions on the Units that may be
issued to me, as well as the Debentures, Warrants, and shares of Common Stock
or
other securities issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise of
the
Warrants.
(e) I
am not
a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”); I am
not and have not, for a period of 12 months prior to the date of this Agreement,
been affiliated or associated with any company, firm, or other entity which
is a
member of the NASD; and I do not own any stock or other interest in any member
of the NASD (other than interests acquired in open market
purchases).
(f) I
recognize that the Units, as an investment, involve a high degree of risk
including, but not limited to, the risk of economic losses from operations
of
the Company and the total loss of my investment. I believe that the investment
in the Units is suitable for me based upon my investment objectives and
financial needs, and I have adequate means for providing for my current
financial needs and contingencies and have no need for liquidity with respect
to
my investment in the Company.
14
(g) I
have
been given access to full and complete information regarding the Company and
have utilized such access to my satisfaction for the purpose of obtaining
information in addition to, or verifying information included in, the Offering
Documents and related documents, and I have either met with or been given
reasonable opportunity to meet with officers of the Company for the purpose
of
asking questions of, and
receiving answers from, such officers concerning the terms and conditions of
the
offering of the Units and the business and operations of the Company and to
obtain any additional information, to the extent reasonably
available.
(h) I
have
such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable
of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Units and have
obtained, in my judgment, sufficient information from the Company to evaluate
the merits and risks of an investment in the Company. I have not utilized any
person as my purchaser representative as defined in Regulation D under the
Act
in connection with evaluating such merits and risks.
(i) I
have
relied solely upon my own investigation in making a decision to invest in the
Company.
(j) I
have
received no representation or warranty from the Company or any of its officers,
directors, employees or agents in respect of my investment in the Company and
I
have received no information (written or otherwise) from them relating to the
Company or its business other than as set forth in the Offering Documents.
I am
not participating in the offer as a result of or subsequent to: (i) any
advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any
newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio
or
(ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general
solicitation or general advertising.
(k) I
have
had full opportunity to ask questions and to receive satisfactory answers
concerning the offering and other matters pertaining to my investment and all
such questions have been answered to my full satisfaction.
(l) I
have
been provided an opportunity to obtain any additional information concerning
the
offering and the Company and all other information to the extent the Company
possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or
expense.
(m)
I am an
“accredited investor” as defined in Section 2(15) of the Act and in Rule 501
promulgated thereunder. I can bear the entire economic risk of the investment
in
the Units for an indefinite period of time and I am knowledgeable about and
experienced in investments in the equity securities of small publicly traded
companies, including early stage companies. I am acquiring the Units for my
own
account for investment purposes only and not with a view to the resale or
distribution of such securities within the meaning of the Act, as amended.
I am
not acting as an underwriter or a conduit for sale to the public or to others
of
unregistered securities, directly or indirectly, on behalf of the Company or
any
person with respect to such securities.
(n) I
understand that (i) the Units and the underlying securities have not been
registered under the Act, or the securities laws of certain states in reliance
on specific exemptions from registration, (ii) no securities administrator
of
any state or the federal government has recommended or endorsed this Offering
or
made any finding or determination relating to the fairness of an investment
in
the Company and (iii) the Company is relying on my representations and
agreements for the purpose of determining whether this transaction meets the
requirements of the exemptions afforded by the Act and certain state securities
laws.
15
(o) I
understand that (i) since neither the offer nor sale of the Units has been
registered under the Act or the securities laws of any state, the Units may
not
be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of unless they are so
registered or an exemption from such registration is available, and (ii) it
is
not anticipated that there will be any market for the resale of the
Units.
(p) I
have
been urged to seek independent advice from my professional advisors relating
to
the suitability of an investment in the Company in view of my overall financial
needs and with respect to the legal and tax implications of such
investment.
(q) If
the
Investor is a corporation, company, trust, employee benefit plan, individual
retirement account, Xxxxx Plan, or other tax-exempt entity, it is authorized
and
qualified to become an Investor in the Company and the person signing this
Agreement on behalf of such entity has been duly authorized by such entity
to do
so.
(r) The
information contained herein, as well as any information which I have furnished
to the Company with respect to my financial position and business experience,
is
correct and complete as of the date of this Agreement and, if there should
be
any material change in such information prior to the Closing of the Offering,
I
will furnish such revised or corrected information to the Company.
I
hereby
acknowledge and am aware that except for any rescission rights that may be
provided under applicable laws, I am not entitled to cancel, terminate or revoke
this subscription, and any agreements made in connection herewith shall survive
my death or disability.

or
exchange with (or other type of distribution to) any third party, of Common
Stock or any debt or equity securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable

Financing on the same, absolute terms and conditions as contemplated by such
Subsequent Financing and the amount of securities the Investor will purchase,
which shall not exceed $2,000,000.

additional compensation to any party participating in any proposed Subsequent
Financing, including, but not limited to, additional compensation based on

the
Company shall have the right to close the Subsequent Financing on the scheduled
closing date with a third party; provided that all of the material terms and
conditions of the closing are the same as those provided to the Purchaser in

occur on that date, any closing of the contemplated Subsequent Financing or
any
other Subsequent Financing shall be subject to all of the provisions of this
Section 11(A) including, without limitation, the delivery of a new Rights
Notice. The provisions of this Section 11(A) shall not apply to issuances of

securities issued in a Public Offering, (ii) securities issued (other than
for
cash) in connection with a merger, acquisition, or consolidation, (iii)
securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or
exercisable securities issued or outstanding on or prior to the date of this
Agreement or issued pursuant to this Agreement (so long as the conversion or
exercise price in such securities are not amended to lower such price and/or
adversely affect the Investor), (iv) securities issued in connection with bona
fide strategic license agreements or other partnering arrangements so long
as
such issuances are not for the primary purpose of raising capital, (v) Common
Stock issued or the issuance or grants of options to purchase Common Stock
pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans,
and, (vi) any warrants issued to the placement agent and its designees for
the
transactions contemplated by the Offering Documents.
(C) For
a
period of two (2) years following the Closing Date, the Company shall be
prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect a subsequent
financing involving a “Variable
Rate Transaction”.
The
term “Variable
Rate Transaction”
shall
mean a transaction in which the Company issues or sells (i) any debt or equity
securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or
include the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at
a
conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or
varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock
at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, or
(B)
with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset
at
some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security
or
upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly
related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or
(ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line
of
credit, whereby the Company may sell securities at a future determined price.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, except for any equity line of credit or similar
agreement referred to in subclause (ii) of this Section 11, the prohibition
against Variable Rate Transactions shall not apply in connection with a
transaction that contains a definite minimum price of $1.00 upon conversion
or
issuance below which such securities cannot be converted or issued.
(D) Disclosure
of Material Information. The Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor
any other person acting on its behalf has provided or will provide the Investor
or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes
constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto the Company
shall have given three (3) business days notice that it intends to disclose
such
information to the Investor and such Investor shall have agreed in writing
that
it is willing to accept such information. If the Investor does not agree to
accept such information, it will be deemed to have waived its rights pursuant
Section 11(A) for the purpose of the Subsequent Financing at issue but not
for
any additional Subsequent Financings for which it may be entitled to receive
notice hereunder. The Company understands and confirms that the Investor will
rely on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities
of
the Company.
12.
Other
Agreements.
The
Company shall not enter into any agreement in which the terms of such agreement
would restrict the right or ability to perform of the Company or any subsidiary
under any Transaction Documents.
13.
Reporting
Status. So
long
as the Investor beneficially owns any of the Shares, the Company shall timely
file all reports required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the
Exchange Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer
required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or
the
rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination.
14. Indemnification.
I
hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its officers,
directors, stockholders, employees, agents, and counsel against any and all
losses, claims, demands, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal
or other expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by each such
person in connection with defending or investigating any such claims or
liabilities, whether or not resulting in any liability to such person, to which
any such indemnified party may become subject under the Act, under any other
statute, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, demands,
liabilities and expenses (a) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact made by me and contained in
this
Agreement, or (b) arise out of or are based upon any breach by me of any
representation, warranty, or agreement made by me contained herein or therein.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, my liability under
this Section 14 shall be limited to the amount I have invested pursuant to
this
Agreement.

the void parts were deleted.
