filed at the Company's expense with such jurisdictions, states and counties
designated by the Subscribers. The Company will also execute all such
documents reasonably necessary in the opinion of Subscribers to memorialize and
further protect the security interest described herein. The Subscribers

Documents (as defined in Section 5(c) below) are included in the term
"OBLIGATIONS" as defined in the Security Agreements and are secured by the
Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreements) in the same manner and

guaranteed obligations all sums which may become due to the Subscribers under
the Transaction Documents (as defined in Section 5(c) below).

duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Subscriber and constitutes, or
shall constitute when executed and delivered, a valid and binding obligation of
the Subscriber enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance with the terms
thereof.

or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of any agreement, indenture or instrument or obligation to which
such Subscriber is a party or by which its properties or assets are bound, or
result in a violation of any law, rule, or regulation, or any order, judgment
or decree of any court or governmental agency applicable to such Subscriber or
its properties (except for such conflicts, defaults and violations as would
not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on such
Subscriber). Such Subscriber is not required to obtain any consent,
authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court

its obligations under this Agreement or to purchase the Notes or acquire the

representation made in this sentence, such Subscriber is assuming and relying
upon the accuracy of the relevant representations and agreements of the Company
herein.

furnished with or has had access at the ▇▇▇▇▇ Website of the Commission to the
Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 and all periodic

matters, has made investments of a speculative nature and has purchased
securities of United States publicly-owned companies in private placements in
the past and, with its representatives, has such knowledge and experience in
financial, tax and other business matters as to enable the Subscriber to
utilize the information made available by the Company to evaluate the merits
and risks of and to make an informed investment decision with respect to the

does not agree to hold the Securities for any minimum amount of time.
(g) Compliance with Securities Act. The Subscriber
understands and agrees that the Securities have not been registered under the
1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws, by reason of their issuance
in a transaction that does not require registration under the 1933 Act (based
in part on the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Subscriber
contained herein), and that such Securities must be held indefinitely unless a
subsequent disposition is registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state
securities laws or is exempt from such registration. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, such Subscriber may transfer
(without restriction and without the need for an opinion of counsel) the
Securities to its Affiliates (as defined below) provided that each such

or firm, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting

pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from
registration.
7.1. Conversion of Note.
(a) Upon the conversion of a Note or part thereof, the
Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action,
including obtaining and delivering, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the
Company's transfer agent, so that the Company's transfer agent shall issue
stock certificates in the name of Subscriber (or its nominee) or such other
persons as designated by Subscriber and in such denominations to be specified
at conversion representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such conversion. The Company warrants that no instructions other than these
instructions have been or will be given to the transfer agent of the Company's
Common Stock and that, unless waived by the Subscriber, the Shares will be
free-trading, and freely transferable, and will not contain a legend
restricting the resale or transferability of the Shares, provided the
Subscriber represents that the Shares are or will be sold pursuant to an
effective registration statement covering the Shares or exemption from
registration, or are otherwise exempt from registration.
(b) Subscriber will give notice of its decision to exercise
its right to convert the Note, interest, any sum due to the Subscriber under
the Transaction Documents including Liquidated Damages, or part thereof by
telecopying an executed and completed NOTICE OF CONVERSION (a form of which is
annexed as EXHIBIT A to the Note) to the Company via confirmed telecopier
transmission or otherwise pursuant to Section 14(a) of this Agreement. The
Subscriber will not be required to surrender the Note until the Note has been
fully converted or satisfied. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is
telecopied to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be
deemed a CONVERSION DATE. The Company will itself or cause the Company's
transfer agent to transmit the Company's Common Stock certificates representing
the Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note to the Subscriber via express
courier for receipt by such Subscriber within three (3) business days after
receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion (such fourth day being the
"DELIVERY DATE"). In the event the Shares are electronically transferable,
then delivery of the Shares must be made by electronic transfer provided
request for such electronic transfer has been made by the Subscriber and the
Subscriber has complied with all applicable securities laws in connection with
the sale of the Common Stock, including, without limitation, the prospectus
delivery requirements. A Note representing the balance of the Note not so
converted will be provided by the Company to the Subscriber if requested by
Subscriber, provided the Subscriber delivers the original Note to the Company.
In the event that a Subscriber elects not to surrender a Note for reissuance
upon partial payment or conversion, the Subscriber hereby indemnifies the
Company against any and all loss or damage attributable to a third-party claim
in an amount in excess of the actual amount then due under the Note. "BUSINESS
DAY" and "TRADING DAY" as employed in the Transaction Documents is a day that
the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading for three or more hours.
(c) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of
the Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, or the
Mandatory Redemption Amount described in Section 7.2 hereof, respectively after
the Delivery Date or the Mandatory Redemption Payment Date (as hereinafter
defined) could result in economic loss to the Subscriber. As compensation to
the Subscriber for such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages
and not as a penalty) to the Subscriber for late issuance of Shares in the form
required pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof upon Conversion of the Note in the
amount of $100 per business day after the Delivery Date for each $10,000 of
Note principal amount being converted of the corresponding Shares which are not
timely delivered. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this
Section in immediately available funds upon demand. Furthermore, in addition
to any other remedies which may be available to the Subscriber, in the event
that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Shares by the
Delivery Date or make payment by the Mandatory Redemption Payment Date, the
Subscriber may revoke all or part of the relevant Notice of Conversion or
rescind all or part of the notice of Mandatory Redemption by delivery of a
notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and the Subscriber
shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the
delivery of such notice, except that the liquidated damages described above
shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given
to the Company.
(d) Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to
herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or
require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the
maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or
dividends or damages required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the
maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be
credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Subscriber and thus
refunded to the Company.
7.2. Mandatory Redemption at Subscriber's Election. In the event
(i) the Company is prohibited from issuing Shares, (ii) the Company fails to
timely deliver Shares on a Delivery Date, (iii) upon the occurrence of any
other Event of Default (as defined in the Note or in this Agreement), any of
the foregoing that continues for more than ten (10) business days, (iv) a
Change in Control (as defined below), or (v) of the liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company, then at the Subscriber's election, the Company must
pay to the Subscriber ten (10) business days after request by the Subscriber
("CALCULATION PERIOD"), a sum of money determined by multiplying up to the
outstanding principal amount of the Note designated by the Subscriber by the
greater of (y) 120%, or (z) a fraction in which the numerator is the highest
closing price of the Common Stock during the Calculation Period and the
denominator is the lowest applicable Conversion Price during the Calculation
Period, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon ("MANDATORY
REDEMPTION PAYMENT"). The Mandatory Redemption Payment must be received by the
Subscriber on the same date as the Shares otherwise deliverable or within ten
(10) business days after request, whichever is sooner ("MANDATORY REDEMPTION
PAYMENT DATE"). Upon receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, the
corresponding Note principal and interest will be deemed paid and no longer
outstanding. Liquidated damages calculated pursuant to Section 7.1(c) hereof,
that have been paid or accrued for the ten day period prior to the actual
receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment by the Subscriber shall be credited
against the Mandatory Redemption Payment. For purposes of this Section 7.2,
"CHANGE IN CONTROL" shall mean (i) the Company no longer having a class of
shares publicly traded or listed on a Principal Market, (ii) the Company
becoming a Subsidiary of another entity (other than a corporation formed by the
Company for purposes of reincorporation in another U.S. jurisdiction), (iii)
the sale, lease or transfer of substantially all the assets of the Company or
Subsidiaries, and (iv) ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ no longer being President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company or not an employee of the Company pursuant to
the Employment Agreement [as defined in Section 9(s)].
7.3. Maximum Conversion. The Subscriber shall not be entitled to
convert on a Conversion Date that amount of the Note in connection with that
number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the
number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Subscriber and its
Affiliates on a Conversion Date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion of the Note with respect to which the
determination of this provision is being made on a Conversion Date, which would
result in beneficial ownership by the Subscriber and its Affiliates of more
than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company on such
Conversion Date. Beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Subscriber shall
not be limited to aggregate conversions of only 4.99% and aggregate conversions
by the Subscriber may exceed 4.99%. The Subscriber may waive the conversion
limitation described in this Section 7.3, in whole or in part, upon and
effective after 61 days prior written notice to the Company to increase such
percentage to up to 9.99%.
7.4. Injunction Posting of Bond. In the event a Subscriber shall
elect to convert a Note or part thereof or exercise the Warrant in whole or in
part, the Company may not refuse conversion or exercise based on any claim that
such Subscriber or any one associated or affiliated with such Subscriber has
been engaged in any violation of law, or for any other reason, unless, an
injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining conversion of
all or part of such Note or exercise of all or part of such Warrant shall have
been sought and obtained by the Company or at the Company's request or with the
Company's assistance, and the Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit
of such Subscriber in the amount of 120% of the outstanding principal and
interest of the Note, or aggregate purchase price of the Shares and Warrant
Shares which are sought to be subject to the injunction, which bond shall
remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute
and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Subscriber to the extent
Subscriber obtains judgment in Subscriber's favor.
7.5. Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to the
Subscriber, if the Company fails to deliver to the Subscriber such shares
issuable upon conversion of a Note by the Delivery Date and if after six (6)
business days after the Delivery Date the Subscriber or a broker on the
Subscriber's behalf, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise)
shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Subscriber
of the Common Stock which the Subscriber was entitled to receive upon such
conversion (a "BUY-IN"), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Subscriber
(in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Subscriber) the
amount by which (A) the Subscriber's total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B)
the aggregate principal and/or interest amount of the Note for which such
conversion was not timely honored, together with interest thereon at a rate of
15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is
paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty). For example, if the Subscriber purchases shares of Common Stock
having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an
attempted conversion of $10,000 of note principal and/or interest, the Company
shall be required to pay the Subscriber $1,000, plus interest. The Subscriber
shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the
Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In.
7.6 Adjustments. The Conversion Price, Warrant exercise price
and amount of Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the
Warrants shall be adjusted as described in this Agreement, the Notes and
Warrants.
7.7. Redemption. The Securities shall not be redeemable or
mandatorily convertible except as described in the Note and Warrants.
8. Broker/Legal Fees.
(a) Broker's Commission. The Company on the one hand, and
each Subscriber (for itself only) on the other hand, agrees to indemnify the
other against and hold the other harmless from any and all liabilities to any
persons claiming brokerage commissions or similar fees on account of services
purported to have been rendered on behalf of the indemnifying party in
connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and
arising out of such party's actions. Anything in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, each Subscriber is providing indemnification only for
such Subscriber's own actions and not for any action of any other Subscriber.
The Company represents that there are no party entitled to receive fees,
commissions, or similar payments in connection with the Offering.
(b) Legal Fees. The Company shall pay to Grushko &
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, P.C., a cash fee of $25,000 ("LEGAL FEES") as reimbursement for
services rendered to the Subscribers in connection with this Agreement and the
purchase and sale of the Notes and Warrants (the "OFFERING"). The Legal Fees
and reimbursement for estimated UCC search fees, if any, (less any amounts paid
prior to Closing) to be paid by the Company will be payable on the Closing Date
out of funds held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.
(c) Due Diligence Fee. The Company will pay a due
diligence fee ("DUE DILIGENCE FEE") described on Schedule 8 hereto to the

with the Subscribers as follows:
(a) Stop Orders. The Company will advise the Subscribers,
within two hours after the Company receives notice of issuance by the
Commission, any state securities commission or any other regulatory authority
of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending any offering of any
securities of the Company, or of the suspension of the qualification of the
Common Stock of the Company for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the
initiation of any proceeding for any such purpose.
(b) Listing. If applicable, the Company shall promptly
secure the listing of the shares of Common Stock and the Warrant Shares upon
each national securities exchange, or electronic or automated quotation system
upon which they are or become eligible for listing and shall maintain such
listing so long as any Notes or Warrants are outstanding. The Company will
maintain the listing or quotation of its Common Stock on the American Stock
Exchange, Nasdaq Capital Market, Nasdaq National Market System, Bulletin Board,

principal trading exchange or market for the Common Stock (the "PRINCIPAL
MARKET")), and will comply in all respects with the Company's reporting, filing
and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Principal Market, as
applicable. The Company will provide the Subscribers copies of all notices it
receives notifying the Company of the threatened and actual delisting of the
Common Stock from any Principal Market. As of the date of this Agreement, the
Bulletin Board is the Principal Market.
(c) Market Regulations. If applicable, the Company shall
notify the Commission, the Principal Market and applicable state authorities,
in accordance with their requirements, of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, and shall take all other necessary action and proceedings as may be

efforts not to take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted
by the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act or the rules thereunder) to terminate or
suspend such registration or to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing
obligations under said acts until two (2) years after the Closing Date. Until
the earlier of the resale of the Shares and the Warrant Shares by each
Subscriber or two (2) years after the Closing Date, the Company will use its
best efforts to continue the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on a
Principal Market and will comply in all respects with the Company's reporting,
filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Principal Market.
The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities if

financing related debt, redemption of outstanding notes or equity instruments
of the Company, litigation related expenses or settlements, brokerage fees, nor
non-trade obligations outstanding on a Closing Date. For so long as any Notes

obligations, nor redeem any equity instruments of the Company.

undertakes to reserve, pro rata, on behalf of the Subscribers from its
authorized but unissued common stock, a number of common shares equal to 150%
of the amount of Common Stock necessary to allow each Subscriber to be able to
convert all Notes issuable pursuant to this Agreement and interest thereon and
reserve 100% of the amount of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants. Failure to have sufficient shares reserved pursuant to this Section
9(f) shall be a material default of the Company's obligations under this
Agreement and an Event of Default under the Note.
(g) Taxes. From the date of this Agreement and until the
sooner of (i) two (2) years after the Closing Date, or (ii) until the later of

Company will promptly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged,
when due and payable, all lawful taxes, assessments and governmental charges or
levies imposed upon the income, profits, property or business of the Company;
provided, however, that any such tax, assessment, charge or levy need not be
paid if the validity thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and if the Company shall have set aside on its books
adequate reserves with respect thereto, and provided, further, that the Company
will pay all such taxes, assessments, charges or levies forthwith upon the
commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien which may have attached as
security therefore.
(h) Insurance. From the date of this Agreement and until
the sooner of (i) two (2) years after the Closing Date, or (ii) until the later

Statement or pursuant to Rule 144, without regard to volume limitations, the
Company will keep its assets which are of an insurable character insured by
financially sound and reputable insurers against loss or damage by fire,
explosion and other risks customarily insured against by companies in the
Company's line of business, in amounts sufficient to prevent the Company from
becoming a co-insurer and not in any event less than one hundred percent (100%)
of the insurable value of the property insured less reasonable deductible
amounts; and the Company will maintain, with financially sound and reputable
insurers, insurance against other hazards and risks and liability to persons
and property to the extent and in the manner customary for companies in similar
businesses similarly situated and to the extent available on commercially
reasonable terms.

agrees that neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf will provide
any Subscriber or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company

(i) On one occasion, for a period commencing one hundred
and twenty-one (121) days after the Closing Date, but not later than two (2)
years after the Closing Date, upon a written request therefor from any record
holder or holders of more than 50% of the Shares issued and issuable upon
conversion of the outstanding Notes and outstanding Warrant Shares, the Company
shall prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement under the
1933 Act registering the Registrable Securities, as defined in Section 11.1(iv)

Upon the receipt of such request, the Company shall promptly give written
notice to all other record holders of the Registrable Securities that such
registration statement is to be filed and shall include in such registration
statement Registrable Securities for which it has received written requests
within ten (10) days after the Company gives such written notice. Such other
requesting record holders shall be deemed to have exercised their demand
registration right under this Section 11.1(i).
(ii) If the Company at any time proposes to register any of
its securities under the 1933 Act for sale to the public, whether for its own
account or for the account of other security holders or both, except with
respect to registration statements on Forms ▇-▇, ▇-▇ or another form not
available for registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public,
provided the Registrable Securities are not otherwise registered for resale by
the Subscribers or Holder pursuant to an effective registration statement, each
such time it will give at least fifteen (15) days' prior written notice to the

written request of the holder, received by the Company within ten (10) days
after the giving of any such notice by the Company, to register any of the
Registrable Securities not previously registered, the Company will cause such
Registrable Securities as to which registration shall have been so requested to
be included with the securities to be covered by the registration statement
proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the extent required to permit the
sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities so registered by the
holder of such Registrable Securities (the "SELLER" or "SELLERS"). In the event
that any registration pursuant to this Section 11.1(ii) shall be, in whole or
in part, an underwritten public offering of common stock of the Company, the
number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such an
underwriting may be reduced by the managing underwriter if and to the extent
that the Company and the underwriter shall reasonably be of the opinion that
such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be
sold by the Company therein; provided, however, that the Company shall notify
the Seller in writing of any such reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions, or Section 11.4 hereof, the Company may withdraw or delay or suffer
a delay of any registration statement referred to in this Section 11.1(ii)
without thereby incurring any liability to the Seller.
(iii) If, at the time any written request for registration is
received by the Company pursuant to Section 11.1(i), the Company has determined
to proceed with the actual preparation and filing of a registration statement
under the 1933 Act in connection with the proposed offer and sale for cash of
any of its securities for the Company's own account and the Company actually
does file such other registration statement, such written request shall be
deemed to have been given pursuant to Section 11.1(ii) rather than Section
11.1(i), and the rights of the holders of Registrable Securities covered by
such written request shall be governed by Section 11.1(ii).
(iv) The Company shall file with the Commission a Form SB-2
registration statement (the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT") (or such other form that
it is eligible to use) in order to register the Registrable Securities for
resale and distribution under the 1933 Act within thirty (30) calendar days
after the Closing Date (the "FILING DATE"), and cause to be declared effective
not later than one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days after the Closing
Date (the "EFFECTIVE DATE"). The Company will register not less than a number
of shares of common stock in the aforedescribed registration statement that is
equal to 150% of the Shares issuable upon conversion of all of the Notes
issuable to the Subscribers, and 100% of the Warrant Shares issuable pursuant
to this Agreement upon exercise of the Warrants (collectively the "REGISTRABLE
SECURITIES"). The Registrable Securities shall be reserved and set aside
exclusively for the benefit of each Subscriber and Warrant holder, pro rata,
and not issued, employed or reserved for anyone other than each such Subscriber
and Warrant holder. The Registration Statement will immediately be amended or
additional registration statements will be immediately filed by the Company as
necessary to register additional shares of Common Stock to allow the public
resale of all Common Stock included in and issuable by virtue of the
Registrable Securities. Except with the written consent of the Subscriber, no
securities of the Company other than the Registrable Securities will be
included in the Registration Statement. It shall be deemed a Non-Registration
Event if at any time after the date the Registration Statement is declared
effective by the Commission ("ACTUAL EFFECTIVE DATE") the Company has
registered for unrestricted resale on behalf of the Subscribers fewer than 125%
of the amount of Common Shares issuable upon full conversion of all sums due
under the Notes and 100% of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants.
11.2. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is
required by the provisions of Section 11.1(i), 11.1(ii) or 11.1(iv) to effect
the registration of any Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act, the Company
will, as expeditiously as possible:
(a) subject to the timelines provided in this Agreement,
prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement required by
Section 11, with respect to such securities and use its best efforts to cause
such registration statement to become and remain effective for the period of
the distribution contemplated thereby (determined as herein provided), promptly
provide to the holders of the Registrable Securities copies of all filings and
Commission letters of comment and notify Subscribers (by telecopier and by e-
mail addresses provided by Subscribers) and Grushko & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, P.C. (by
telecopier and by email to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇.▇▇▇) on or before the first business
day thereafter that the Company receives notice that (i) the Commission has no
comments or no further comments on the Registration Statement, and (ii) the
registration statement has been declared effective (failure to timely provide
notice as required by this Section 11.2(a) shall be a material breach of the
Company's obligation and an Event of Default as defined in the Notes and a Non-
Registration Event as defined in Section 11.4 of this Agreement);
(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments
and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in
connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement
effective until such registration statement has been effective for a period of
two (2) years, and comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to
the disposition of all of the Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement in accordance with the Sellers' intended method of
disposition set forth in such registration statement for such period;
(c) furnish to the Sellers, at the Company's expense, such
number of copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included
therein (including each preliminary prospectus) as such persons reasonably may
request in order to facilitate the public sale or their disposition of the
securities covered by such registration statement or make them electronically
available;
(d) use its commercially reasonable best efforts to
register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement under the securities or "blue sky" laws of New York and such
jurisdictions as the Sellers shall request in writing, provided, however, that
the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to
transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not
so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such
jurisdiction;
(e) if applicable, list the Registrable Securities covered
by such registration statement with any securities exchange on which the Common
Stock of the Company is then listed;
(f) notify the Subscribers within two hours of the
Company's becoming aware that a prospectus relating thereto is required to be
delivered under the 1933 Act, of the happening of any event of which the
Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained in such
registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances then existing or which becomes subject to a Commission, state or
other governmental order suspending the effectiveness of the registration
statement covering any of the Registrable Securities;
(g) provided same would not be in violation of the
provision of Regulation FD under the 1934 Act, make available for inspection by
the Sellers, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the
Seller or underwriter, all publicly available, non-confidential financial and
other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and
cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all publicly
available, non-confidential information reasonably requested by the seller,
attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement;
and
(h) provide to the Sellers copies of the Registration
Statement and amendments thereto five business days prior to the filing thereof
with the Commission.
11.3. Provision of Documents. In connection with each registration
described in this Section 11, each Seller will furnish to the Company in
writing such information and representation letters with respect to itself and
the proposed distribution by it as reasonably shall be necessary in order to
assure compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws.
11.4. Non-Registration Events. The Company and the Subscribers
agree that the Sellers will suffer damages if the Registration Statement is not
filed by the Filing Date and not declared effective by the Commission by the
Effective Date, and any registration statement required under Section 11.1(i)
or 11.1(ii) is not filed within 60 days after written request and declared
effective by the Commission within 120 days after such request, and maintained
in the manner and within the time periods contemplated by Section 11 hereof,
and it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with
precision. Accordingly, if (A) the Registration Statement is not filed on or
before the Filing Date, (B) is not declared effective on or before the
Effective Date, (C) due to the action or inaction of the Company the
Registration Statement is not declared effective within three (3) business days
after receipt by the Company or its attorneys of a written or oral
communication from the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be
reviewed or that the Commission has no further comments, (D) if the
registration statement described in Sections 11.1(i) or 11.1(ii) is not filed
within 60 days after such written request, or is not declared effective within
120 days after such written request, or (E) any registration statement
described in Sections 11.1(i), 11.1(ii) or 11.1(iv) is filed and declared
effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective without being succeeded
within fifteen (15) business days by an effective replacement or amended
registration statement or for a period of time which shall exceed thirty (30)
days in the aggregate per year (defined as every rolling period of 365
consecutive days commencing on the Actual Effective Date (each such event
referred to in clauses A through E of this Section 11.4 is referred to herein
as a "NON-REGISTRATION EVENT"), then the Company shall deliver to the holder of
Registrable Securities, as LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, an amount equal to two percent
(2%) for each thirty (30) days (or such lesser pro-rata amount for any period
of less than thirty (30) days) of the Purchase Price of the outstanding Notes
and purchase price of Shares issued upon conversion of the Notes owned of
record by such holder which are subject to such Non-Registration Event. The
Company must pay the Liquidated Damages in cash. The Liquidated Damages must
be paid within ten (10) days after the end of each thirty (30) day period or
shorter part thereof for which Liquidated Damages are payable. In the event a
Registration Statement is filed by the Filing Date but is withdrawn prior to
being declared effective by the Commission, then such Registration Statement
will be deemed to have not been filed and Liquidated Damages will be calculated
accordingly. All oral or written comments received from the Commission
relating to the Registration Statement must be satisfactorily responded to
within ten (10) business days after receipt of comments from the Commission.
Failure to timely respond to Commission comments is a Non-Registration Event
for which Liquidated Damages shall accrue and be payable by the Company to the
holders of Registrable Securities at the same rate set forth above.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be liable to the
Subscriber under this Section 11.4 for any events or delays occurring as a
consequence of the acts or omissions of the Subscribers contrary to the
obligations undertaken by Subscribers in this Agreement. Liquidated Damages
will not accrue nor be payable pursuant to this Section 11.4 nor will a Non-
Registration Event be deemed to have occurred for times during which
Registrable Securities are transferable by the holder of Registrable Securities
pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the 1933 Act.
11.5. Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Company in complying
with Section 11, including, without limitation, all registration and filing
fees, printing expenses (if required), fees and disbursements of counsel and
independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including
reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state
securities or "blue sky" laws, fees of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., transfer taxes, and fees of transfer agents and registrars, are
called "REGISTRATION EXPENSES." All underwriting discounts and selling
commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities are called
"SELLING EXPENSES." The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in
connection with the registration statement under Section 11. Selling Expenses
in connection with each registration statement under Section 11 shall be borne
by the Seller and may be apportioned among the Sellers in proportion to the
number of shares sold by the Seller relative to the number of shares sold under
such registration statement or as all Sellers thereunder may agree.
11.6. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable
Securities under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, the Company will, to the
extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, each officer
of the Seller, each director of the Seller, each underwriter of such
Registrable Securities thereunder and each other person, if any, who controls
such Seller or underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Seller,
or such underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act
or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration
statement under which such Registrable Securities was registered under the 1933
Act pursuant to Section 11, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or
are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading in light of the circumstances when made, and will subject to the
provisions of Section 11.6(c) reimburse the Seller, each such underwriter and
each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be liable to the Seller to the extent that any such damages arise out of or
are based upon an untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary
prospectus if (i) the Seller failed to send or deliver a copy of the final
prospectus delivered by the Company to the Seller with or prior to the delivery
of written confirmation of the sale by the Seller to the person asserting the
claim from which such damages arise, (ii) the final prospectus would have
corrected such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or such omission or
alleged omission, or (iii) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with
information furnished by any such Seller, or any such controlling person in
writing specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus.
(b) In the event of a registration of any of the
Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, each Seller
severally but not jointly will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the 1933 Act, each officer of the Company who signs the
registration statement, each director of the Company, each underwriter and each
person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against
all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the
Company or such officer, director, underwriter or controlling person may become
subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained in the registration statement under which such Registrable
Securities were registered under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment
or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse
the Company and each such officer, director, underwriter and controlling person
for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action,
provided, however, that the Seller will be liable hereunder in any such case if
and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises
out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information pertaining to such Seller, as such, furnished in writing to the
Company by such Seller specifically for use in such registration statement or
prospectus, and provided, further, however, that the liability of the Seller
hereunder shall be limited to the net proceeds actually received by the Seller
from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the
omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this
Section 11.6(c) and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have
to such indemnified party under this Section 11.6(c), except and only if and to
the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any
such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify
the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party
shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume
and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified
party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party
of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the
indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this
Section 11.6(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected, provided,
however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall
have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it
which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying
party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to
conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified parties,
as a group, shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume
such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action,
with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other
expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying
party as incurred.
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution
in the event of joint liability under the 1933 Act in any case in which either
(i) a Seller, or any controlling person of a Seller, makes a claim for
indemnification pursuant to this Section 11.6 but it is judicially determined
(by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent
jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last
right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case
notwithstanding the fact that this Section 11.6 provides for indemnification in
such case, or (ii) contribution under the 1933 Act may be required on the part
of the Seller or controlling person of the Seller in circumstances for which
indemnification is not provided under this Section 11.6; then, and in each such
case, the Company and the Seller will contribute to the aggregate losses,
claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution
from others) in such proportion so that the Seller is responsible only for the
portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its
securities offered by the registration statement bears to the public offering
price of all securities offered by such registration statement, provided,
however, that, in any such case, (y) the Seller will not be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such
securities sold by it pursuant to such registration statement; and (z) no
person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) will be entitled to contribution from any person
or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
11.7. Delivery of Unlegended Shares.
(a) Within three (3) business days (such third business day
being the "UNLEGENDED SHARES DELIVERY DATE") after the business day on which
the Company has received (i) a notice that Shares or Warrant Shares or any
other Common Stock held by a Subscriber have been sold pursuant to the
Registration Statement or Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, (ii) a representation
that the prospectus delivery requirements, or the requirements of Rule 144, as
applicable and if required, have been satisfied, and (iii) the original share
certificates representing the shares of Common Stock that have been sold, and
(iv) in the case of sales under Rule 144, customary representation letters of
the Subscriber and/or Subscriber's broker regarding compliance with the
requirements of Rule 144, the Company at its expense, (y) shall deliver, and
shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver to its transfer
agent (with copies to Subscriber) an appropriate instruction and opinion of
such counsel, directing the delivery of shares of Common Stock without any
legends including the legend set forth in Section 4(h) above, reissuable
pursuant to any effective and current Registration Statement described in
Section 11 of this Agreement or pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act (the
"UNLEGENDED SHARES"); and (z) cause the transmission of the certificates
representing the Unlegended Shares together with a legended certificate
representing the balance of the submitted Shares certificate, if any, to the
Subscriber at the address specified in the notice of sale, via express courier,
by electronic transfer or otherwise on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery
Date.
(b) In lieu of delivering physical certificates
representing the Unlegended Shares, if the Company's transfer agent is
participating in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities
Transfer program, upon request of a Subscriber, so long as the certificates
therefor do not bear a legend and the Subscriber is not obligated to return
such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause
its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares by
crediting the account of Subscriber's prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission system. Such delivery must be made on or before
the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.
(c) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of
the Unlegended Shares pursuant to Section 11 hereof later than two business
days after the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date could result in economic loss to
a Subscriber. As compensation to a Subscriber for such loss, the Company
agrees to pay late payment fees (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to
the Subscriber for late delivery of Unlegended Shares in the amount of $100 per
business day after the Delivery Date for each $10,000 of purchase price of the
Unlegended Shares subject to the delivery default. If during any 360 day
period, the Company fails to deliver Unlegended Shares as required by this
Section 11.7 for an aggregate of thirty (30) days, then each Subscriber or
assignee holding Securities subject to such default may, at its option, require
the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Shares and Warrant Shares
subject to such default at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) 120%,
or (ii) a fraction in which the numerator is the highest closing price during
the aforedescribed thirty day period and the denominator of which is the lowest
conversion price during such thirty day period, multiplied by the Purchase
Price of such Common Stock and Warrant Shares ("UNLEGENDED REDEMPTION AMOUNT").
The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately
available funds upon demand.
(d) In addition to any other rights available to a
Subscriber, if the Company fails to deliver to a Subscriber Unlegended Shares
as required pursuant to this Agreement, within six (6) business days after the
Unlegended Shares Delivery Date and the Subscriber or a broker on the
Subscriber's behalf, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise)
shares of common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Subscriber
of the shares of Common Stock which the Subscriber was entitled to receive from
the Company (a "BUY-IN"), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Subscriber
(in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Subscriber) the
amount by which (A) the Subscriber's total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the shares of common stock so purchased exceeds (B)
the aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common Stock delivered to the
Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares together with interest thereon at a
rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest
thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and
not as a penalty). For example, if a Subscriber purchases shares of Common
Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect
to $10,000 of purchase price of shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company
for reissuance as Unlegended Shares, the Company shall be required to pay the
Subscriber $1,000, plus interest. The Subscriber shall provide the Company
written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Subscriber in respect of
the Buy-In.
(e) In the event a Subscriber shall request delivery of
Unlegended Shares as described in Section 11.7 and the Company is required to
deliver such Unlegended Shares pursuant to Section 11.7, the Company may not
refuse to deliver Unlegended Shares based on any claim that such Subscriber or
any one associated or affiliated with such Subscriber has been engaged in any
violation of law, or for any other reason, unless, an injunction or temporary
restraining order from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining
delivery of such Unlegended Shares or exercise of all or part of said Warrant
shall have been sought and obtained by the Company or at the Company's request
or with the Company's assistance, and the Company has posted a surety bond for
the benefit of such Subscriber in the amount of 120% of the amount of the
aggregate purchase price of the Common Stock and Warrant Shares which are
subject to the injunction or temporary restraining order, which bond shall
remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute
and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Subscriber to the extent
Subscriber obtains judgment in Subscriber's favor.
12. (a) Right of First Refusal. Until one year after the
Closing Date, the Subscribers shall be given not less than seven (7) business
days prior written notice of any proposed sale by the Company of its common
stock or other securities or debt obligations, except in connection with (i)
full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger,
acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities
or assets of corporation or other entity which holders of such securities or
debt are not at any time granted registration rights, (ii) the Company's
issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and
other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose
of raising capital which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time
granted registration rights, (iii) the Company's issuance of Common Stock or
the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to stock
option plans and employee stock purchase plans described on SCHEDULE 5(D)
hereto at prices equal to or higher than the closing price of the Common Stock
on the issue date of any of the foregoing, (iv) as a result of the exercise of
Warrants or conversion of Notes which are granted or issued pursuant to this
Agreement or that have been issued prior to the Closing Date, the issuance of
which has been disclosed in a Report filed not less than five (5) days prior to
the Closing Date, (v) the payment of any interest on the Notes and liquidated
damages or other damages pursuant to the Transaction Documents or other
securities instruments that have been issued prior to the Closing Date, the
issuance of which has been disclosed in a Report filed not less than five days
prior to the Closing Date, and (vi) any payment or issuance to the Subscribers
in connection with the Initial Funding (as defined in Section 13 below)
(collectively the foregoing are "EXCEPTED ISSUANCES"). The Subscribers who
exercise their rights pursuant to this Section 12(a) shall have the right
during the seven (7) business days following receipt of the notice to purchase
such offered common stock, debt or other securities in accordance with the
terms and conditions set forth in the notice of sale in the same proportion to
each other as their purchase of Notes in the Offering. In the event such terms
and conditions are modified during the notice period, the Subscribers shall be
given prompt notice of such modification and shall have the right during the
seven (7) business days following the notice of modification to exercise such
right.
(b) Favored Nations Provision. Other than in connection
with the Excepted Issuances, if at any time Notes or Warrants are outstanding,
the Company shall offer, issue or agree to issue any common stock or securities
convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock (or modify any of
the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person or entity at a price per
share or conversion or exercise price per share which shall be less than the
Conversion Price in respect of the Shares, or if less than the Warrant exercise
price in respect of the Warrant Shares, without the consent of each Subscriber
holding Notes, Shares, Warrants, or Warrant Shares, then the Company shall
issue, for each such occasion, additional shares of Common Stock to each
Subscriber so that the average per share purchase price of the shares of Common
Stock issued to the Subscriber (of only the Common Stock or Warrant Shares
still owned by the Subscriber) is equal to such other lower price per share and
the Conversion Price and Warrant exercise price shall automatically be adjusted
to such other lower price and as provided in the Notes and the Warrants. The
average Purchase Price of the Shares and average exercise price in relation to
the Warrant Shares shall be calculated separately for the Shares and Warrant
Shares. The foregoing calculation and issuance shall be made separately for
Shares received upon conversion and separately for Warrant Shares. The
delivery to the Subscriber of the additional shares of Common Stock shall be
not later than the closing date of the transaction giving rise to the
requirement to issue additional shares of Common Stock. The Subscriber is
granted the registration rights described in Section 11 hereof in relation to
such additional shares of Common Stock except that the Filing Date and
Effective Date vis-{a`}-vis such additional common shares shall be,
respectively, the thirtieth (30th) and sixtieth (60th) date after the closing
date giving rise to the requirement to issue the additional shares of Common
Stock. For purposes of the issuance and adjustment described in this
paragraph, the issuance of any security of the Company carrying the right to
convert such security into shares of Common Stock or of any warrant, right or
option to purchase Common Stock shall result in the issuance of the additional
shares of Common Stock upon the sooner of the agreement to or actual issuance
of such convertible security, warrant, right or option and again at any time
upon any subsequent issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such
conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the
Conversion Price or Warrant exercise price in effect upon such issuance. The
rights of the Subscriber set forth in this Section 12 are in addition to any
other rights the Subscriber has pursuant to this Agreement, the Note, any
Transaction Document, and any other agreement referred to or entered into in
connection herewith. The Subscriber is also given the right to elect to
substitute any term or terms of any other offering in connection with which the
Subscriber has rights as described in Section 12(a), for any term or terms of
the Offering in connection with Securities owned by Subscriber as of the date
the notice described in Section 12(a) is required to be given to Subscriber.
The Company will not issue any Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents if such
issuance could or would cause the Company not to be in compliance with Nasdaq
Marketplace Rules unless approval of the Company's shareholders would otherwise
be required.
(c) Maximum Exercise of Rights. In the event the exercise
of the rights described in Sections 12(a) and 12(b) would or could result in
the issuance of an amount of common stock of the Company that would exceed the
maximum amount that may be issued to a Subscriber calculated in the manner
described in Section 7.3 of this Agreement, then the issuance of such
additional shares of common stock of the Company to such Subscriber will be
deferred in whole or in part until such time as such Subscriber is able to
beneficially own such common stock without exceeding the applicable maximum
amount set forth calculated in the manner described in Section 7.3 of this
Agreement. The determination of when such common stock may be issued shall be
made by each Subscriber as to only such Subscriber.
13. Modification of Initial Funding.
(a) Initial Funding. On November 17, 2004, the Company
issued to the Subscribers convertible promissory notes ("INITIAL NOTES") and
common stock purchase warrants ("INITIAL WARRANTS") (such transaction is the
"INITIAL FUNDING"). In consideration of entering into this Agreement, and
other good and valuable mutual consideration, receipt of which is acknowledged,
the Company and Subscribers agree to the following modifications of the terms
of the Initial Funding.
(b) Initial Notes. The Company agrees that as of May 31,
2006, the amount due under the Initial Notes including interest and liquidated
damages is as set forth on the signature page hereto as the Principal Amount of
Initial Note and said amount, as of May 31, 2006 is deemed the outstanding
principal amount of the Initial Notes. From and after June 1, 2006, the
interest rate described in Section 1.1 of the Initial Notes is amended to
accrue at six percent (6%) per annum and the interest rate as described in
Section 1.3 of the Initial Note is amended to accrue at ten percent (10%) per
annum. The Company is not required to make and the Subscriber is not required
to accept Monthly Payments or comply with the conversion guidelines set forth
in Sections 2.1(a) and 2.1(b) of the Initial Note. Interest payable in
connection with the Initial Note shall be due and payable on the same dates as
interest is due and payable on the Notes and on the Maturity Date (as defined
in the Initial Note). The Maturity Date (as defined in the Initial Note)
remains unmodified.
(c) Initial Warrants. The number of shares purchasable by
the Subscribers upon exercise of the Initial Warrants ("INITIAL WARRANT
SHARES") is increased to an additional 50% of the amount of Initial Warrant
Shares purchasable on the issue date of the Initial Warrants on the same terms
and conditions as the Initial Warrants ("ADDITIONAL INITIAL WARRANT SHARES").
The Additional Initial Warrant Shares are granted the same rights and benefits
as applicable to the Initial Warrant and Initial Warrant Shares except that the
Additional Initial Warrant Shares shall be deemed a component of the
Registrable Securities as described in this Agreement and accordingly the
holder of the Initial Warrant reflecting the right to purchase the Additional
Initial Warrant Shares is granted all of the registration rights described in
Section 11 of this Agreement in connection with the Initial Warrant and
Additional Initial Warrant Shares.
(d) Initial Registration Statement. The Company granted
the Subscribers certain registration rights in connection with the Initial
Funding. Such registration rights remain in full force and effect except as
modified in Section 13(c) above. The Company represents that the Initial
Registration Statement is and as of the Closing will be current and effective
for the public resale of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the
Initial Notes ("INITIAL CONVERSION SHARES") and Initial Warrant Shares.
(e) Holding Period. Except for the Additional Warrant
Shares, the modification described in this Section 13 do not result in the
interruption of nor require a new holding period to begin for purposes of Rule
144 under the 1933 Act.
(f) Statement of Modification. A copy of this Section 13
annexed to the Initial Note and Initial Warrant shall be sufficient evidence of
the effectiveness of the modifications described in this Section 13.
(g) No Other Changes. Except as described in this Section
13, all other terms of the Initial Funding remain in full force and effect.

(b) Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement and other
documents delivered in connection herewith represent the entire agreement
between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and may be
amended only by a writing executed by both parties. Neither the Company nor
the Subscribers have relied on any representations not contained or referred to
in this Agreement and the documents delivered herewith. No right or
obligation of the Company shall be assigned without prior notice to and the
written consent of the Subscribers.
(c) Counterparts/Execution. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by the different signatories hereto
on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an
original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same
instrument. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature and
delivered by facsimile transmission.
(d) Law Governing this Agreement. This Agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York
without regard to conflicts of laws principles that would result in the
application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. Any action
brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only in the civil or state
courts of New York or in the federal courts located in New York County. THE
PARTIES AND THE INDIVIDUALS EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
REFERRED TO HEREIN OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY
AGREE TO SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY.
The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its
reasonable attorney's fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this
Agreement or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or
unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision
shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and
shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such
provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement.
(e) Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction. To the
extent permitted by law, the Company and Subscriber acknowledge and agree that
irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this
Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were
otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be
entitled to one or more preliminary and final injunctions to prevent or cure
breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the
terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to
which any of them may be entitled by law or equity. Subject to Section 14(d)
hereof, each of the Company, Subscriber and any signator hereto in his personal
capacity hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or
proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction in
New York of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an
inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is
improper. Nothing in this Section shall affect or limit any right to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law.
(f) Damages. In the event the Subscriber is entitled to
receive any liquidated damages pursuant to the Transactions, the Subscriber may
elect to receive the greater of actual damages or such liquidated damages.
(g) Independent Nature of Subscribers. The Company
acknowledges that the obligations of each Subscriber under the Transaction
Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other
Subscriber, and no Subscriber shall be responsible in any way for the
performance of the obligations of any other Subscriber under the Transaction
Documents. The Company acknowledges that each Subscriber has represented that
the decision of each Subscriber to purchase Securities has been made by such
Subscriber independently of any other Subscriber and independently of any
information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs,
operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition
(financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company which may have been made
or given by any other Subscriber or by any agent or employee of any other
Subscriber, and no Subscriber or any of its agents or employees shall have any
liability to any Subscriber (or any other person) relating to or arising from
any such information, materials, statements or opinions. The Company
acknowledges that nothing contained in any Transaction Document, and no action
taken by any Subscriber pursuant hereto or thereto (including, but not limited
to, the (i) inclusion of a Subscriber in the Registration Statement and (ii)
review by, and consent to, such Registration Statement by a Subscriber) shall
be deemed to constitute the Subscribers as a partnership, an association, a
joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the
Subscribers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such
obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The
Company acknowledges that each Subscriber shall be entitled to independently
protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights
arising out of the Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any
other Subscriber to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose. The Company acknowledges that it has elected to provide all
Subscribers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience
of the Company and not because Company was required or requested to do so by
the Subscribers. The Company acknowledges that such procedure with respect to
the Transaction Documents in no way creates a presumption that the Subscribers
are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to the Transaction
Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.
(h) Consent. As used in the Agreement, "consent of the
Subscribers" or similar language means the consent of holders of not less than
70% of the total of the Shares issued and issuable upon conversion of
outstanding Notes owned by Subscribers on the date consent is requested.
(i) Equal Treatment. No consideration shall be offered or
paid to any person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any
provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also
offered and paid to all the parties to the Transaction Documents.
