any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity. Except as
specifically contemplated by this Agreement and as required under the 1933 Act

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.
9
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 December 31, 2003, 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.
10
(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.
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.
11
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"). 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 ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) 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.
13
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-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.
H. 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.
14
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 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.
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.
15
K. 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.
L. SUBSEQUENT INVESTMENT. The Company and the Buyers agree that,
upon the filing by the Company of the Registration Statement to be filed
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (the "FILING DATE"), the Buyers
shall purchase additional Notes (the "FILING NOTES") in the aggregate principal
amount of Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000) and additional warrants (the
"FILING WARRANTS") to purchase an aggregate of 600,000 shares of Common Stock,
for an aggregate purchase price of Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000), with
the closing of such purchase to occur within five (5) days of the Filing Date;
provided, however, that the obligation of each Buyer to purchase the Filing
Notes and the Filing Warrants is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the
closing of such purchase and sale, of the conditions set forth in Section 7. The
Company and the Buyers further agree that, upon the declaration of effectiveness
of the Registration Statement to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement (the "EFFECTIVE DATE"), the Buyers shall purchase additional notes
(the "EFFECTIVENESS NOTES" and, collectively with the Filing Notes, the
"ADDITIONAL NOTES") in the aggregate principal amount of Seven Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($700,000) and additional warrants (the "EFFECTIVENESS WARRANTS" and,
collectively with the Filing Warrants, the "ADDITIONAL WARRANTS") to purchase an
aggregate of 700,000 shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of
Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000), with the closing of such purchase to
occur within five (5) days of the Effective Date; provided, however, that the
obligation of each Buyer to purchase the Additional Notes and the Additional
Warrants is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the closing of such
purchase and sale, of the conditions set forth in Section 7; and, provided,
further, that there shall not have been a Material Adverse Effect as of such
effective date. The terms of the Additional Notes and the Additional Warrants
shall be identical to the terms of the Notes and Warrants, as the case may be,
to be issued on the Closing Date. The Common Stock underlying the Additional
Notes and the Additional Warrants shall be Registrable Securities (as defined in
the Registration Rights Agreement) and shall be included in the Registration
Statement to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.
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.
16
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.
17

Company hereunder to issue and sell the Notes and Warrants to a Buyer at the

G. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns. Neither
the Company nor any Buyer shall assign this Agreement or any rights or
obligations 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 any person that purchases Securities in a private
transaction from a Buyer or to any of its "affiliates," as that term is defined
under the 1934 Act, without the consent of the Company.

I. SURVIVAL. 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

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.
21
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).
K. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to
be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and
deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as
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.
L. NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION. The language used in this Agreement will
be 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.
