if a holder proposes to sell or transfer Shares other than pursuant to Section
5.1(g) above (unless such Shares have been issued pursuant to a valid exemption
from the registration requirements under the Securities Act upon conversion of
Notes or exercise of Warrants that have been transferred pursuant to Section
5.1(g) above), such purchaser or transferee must execute and deliver a letter
for the benefit of the Company, substantially in the form included as Exhibit B
                                                                      ---------

prior to any such exercise or transfer described in this Section 5.5, it will
furnish to the Company, and the Trustee, Warrant Agent or the Transfer Agent, as
applicable, an opinion of counsel if the Company so requests (other than with
respect to a transfer pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act) and such certificates and other information as they may
reasonably require to confirm that any exercise by the Investor of the Warrants
or transfer by the Investor of the Shares complies with the foregoing
restrictions and is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a
transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

          5.6  The Investor further represents and warrants to, and covenants

capacity to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby and has taken all necessary action to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and (ii) this Agreement
constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Investor enforceable against
the Investor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
similar laws affecting creditors' and contracting parties' rights generally and
except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law) and except as the indemnification agreements of the Investors
herein may be legally unenforceable.

          5.7  The Investor's purchase of the Securities is based on the
Memorandum and discussions with the Company and the Placement Agents, and not as
a result of any other communication, notice, letter advertisement, article,
publication, news release, broadcast or other communication.
