which opinion shall be accepted by 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 through whom
the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in
the 1933 Act) 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

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 Notes
per month plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, prorated for partial
months, in cash or shares at the option of the Buyer ("Standard Liquidated
Damages Amount"). 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.
g. Legends. The Buyer understands that the Notes and the Warrants and,
until such time as the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares have been registered
under the 1933 Act as contemplated by the 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

documents (other than exhibits to such documents) incorporated by reference
therein, being hereinafter referred to herein as the "SEC Documents"). The
Company has delivered to each Buyer true and complete copies of the SEC
Documents, except for such exhibits and incorporated documents. As of their
respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the
requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC
promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC
Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, 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. None of the
statements made in any such SEC Documents is, or has been, required to be
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
respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC
Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable
accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with
respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with United States generally accepted accounting principles, consistently
applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated
in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of
unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or
may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material
respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated
Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their
operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of
unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). Except as set
forth in the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents,
the Company has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i)
liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to September
30, 2006 and (ii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the
ordinary course of business and not required under generally accepted accounting
principles to be reflected in such financial statements, which, individually or
in the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or operating
results of the Company.
h. Absence of Certain Changes. Since September 30, 2006, there has been no
material adverse change and no material adverse development in the assets,
liabilities, business, properties, operations, financial condition, results of
operations or prospects of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
i. Absence of Litigation. There is no action, suit, claim, proceeding,
inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government
agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, or their officers or directors in their capacity as
such, that could have a Material Adverse Effect. Schedule 3(i) contains a
complete list and summary description of any pending or threatened proceeding
against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, without regard to
whether it would have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its
Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to
any of the foregoing.

("Intellectual Property") necessary to enable it to conduct its business as now
operated (and, except as set forth in Schedule 3(j) 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, or proceeding pending,
or to the Company's knowledge threatened, which challenges the right of the
Company or of a Subsidiary with respect to any Intellectual Property necessary
to enable it to conduct its business as now operated (and, except as set forth
in Schedule 3(j) hereof, to the best of the Company's knowledge, as presently
contemplated to be operated in the future); to the best of the Company's
knowledge, the Company's or its Subsidiaries' current and intended products,
services and processes do not infringe on any Intellectual Property or other
rights held by any person; and the Company is unaware of any facts or
circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing. The Company and
each of its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the
secrecy, confidentiality and value of their Intellectual Property.
k. No Materially Adverse Contracts, Etc. Neither the Company nor any of
its Subsidiaries is subject to any charter, corporate or other legal
restriction, or any judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation which in the
judgment of the Company's officers has or is expected in the future to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a
party to any contract or agreement which in the judgment of the Company's
officers has or is expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
l. Tax Status. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(l), the Company and each
of its Subsidiaries has made or filed all federal, state and foreign income and
all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to
which it is subject (unless and only to the extent that the Company and each of
its Subsidiaries has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for
the payment of all unpaid and unreported taxes) and has paid all taxes and other
governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or
determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those
being contested in good faith and has set aside on its books provisions
reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the
periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no
unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of
any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of no basis for any such
claim. The Company has not executed a waiver with respect to the statute of
limitations relating to the assessment or collection of any foreign, federal,
state or local tax. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(l), none of the Company's
tax returns is presently being audited by any taxing authority.

transactions contemplated hereby is true and correct in all material respects
and the Company has not omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to

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).

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 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 September 30, 2006, 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. Except as set forth in Schedule 3(x), 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.
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 one hundred and eighty (180) days from the Closing Date.
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"). 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 1933 Act), (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 or (iii) issuances of restricted
securities at a discount to the market price of the Company's Common Stock,
provided that no registration rights are given to such purchaser. 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.
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-K, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q 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 shareholders of the
Company, copies of any notices or other information the Company makes available
or gives to such shareholders.
h. Authorization and Reservation of Shares. Subject to the Stockholder
Approval (as defined in Section 4(k), 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 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 shareholders 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 shareholder
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
shareholder approval within thirty (30) days following the date on which the
Reserved Amount exceeds the number of 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.
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 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 Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") 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 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.
k. Stockholder Approval. The Company shall file a proxy or information
statement with the SEC no later than April 14, 2008 and use its best efforts to
obtain, on or before June 13, 2008, such approvals of the Company's stockholders
as may be required to issue all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion or exercise of, or otherwise with respect to, the Notes and the
Warrants in accordance with Colorado law and any applicable rules or regulations
of the OTCBB and/or Nasdaq, either through a reverse stock split of the Common
Stock or an increase in authorized capital (the "Stockholder Approval"). The
Company shall furnish to each Buyer and its legal counsel promptly (but in no
event less than two (2) business days) before the same is filed with the SEC,
one copy of the proxy or information statement and any amendment thereto, and
shall deliver to each Buyer promptly each letter written by or on behalf of the
Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from
the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such proxy or
information statement (other than any portion thereof which contains information
for which the Company has sought confidential treatment). The Company will
promptly (but in no event more than three (3) business days) respond to any and
all comments received from the SEC (which comments shall promptly be made
available to each Buyer). The Company shall comply with the filing and
disclosure requirements of Section 14 under the 1934 Act in connection with the
Stockholder Approval.
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. 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.
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 Notes 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

hereunder without the prior written consent of the other. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, subject to Section 2(f), any Buyer may assign its rights hereunder to

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

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,

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

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.

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.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Buyers and the Company have caused this
Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.
