registration, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company, (c) the Securities
are sold or transferred to an "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated

may be made only in accordance with the terms of said Rule and further, if said
Rule is not applicable, any re-sale of such Securities under circumstances in
which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to

compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and
regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other
person is under any obligation to register such Securities under the 1933 Act or
any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any
exemption thereunder (in each case, other than pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained
herein to the contrary, the Securities may be pledged as collateral in
connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement. In the
event that the Company does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the
Buyer with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from
registration, such as Rule 144 or Regulation S, within three (3) business days
of delivery of the opinion to the Company, the Company shall pay to the Buyer
liquidated damages of two percent (2%) of the outstanding amount of the Notes
per month plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, prorated for partial
months, in cash or shares at the option of the Company ("Standard Liquidated
Damages Amount"). If the Company elects to be pay the Standard Liquidated
Damages Amount in shares of Common Stock, such shares shall be issued at the
Conversion Price at the time of payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the

then be immediately sold, the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares may bear a
restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer

securities may not be sold, transferred or assigned in the absence
of an effective registration statement for the securities under said
Act, or an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope
customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, that
registration is not required under said Act or unless sold pursuant
to Rule 144 or Regulation S under said Act."
The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a
certificate without such legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is
stamped, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws, (a)
such Security is registered for sale under an effective registration statement
filed under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or
Regulation S without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a
particular date that can then be immediately sold, or (b) such holder provides
the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary
for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, which opinion shall be
reasonably acceptable to the Company's counsel, to the effect that a public sale
or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the 1933
Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer
is effected or (c) such holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances
that such Security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S. The Buyer
agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s)
from which the legend has been removed, in compliance with applicable prospectus

obligation to issue Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares upon conversion of the

subject) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any
property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected

is in violation of its Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws or other
organizational documents and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is
in default (and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time or both
could put the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in default) under, and neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any action or failed to take
any action that would give to others any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any property or
assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected, except

any, are not being conducted, and shall not be conducted so long as a Buyer owns
any of the Securities, in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any
governmental entity. Except as specifically contemplated by this Agreement and
as required under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws, the
Company is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or
make any filing or registration with, any court, governmental agency, regulatory
agency, self regulatory organization or stock market or any third party in order
for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Notes or the Warrants in
accordance with the terms hereof or thereof or to issue and sell the Notes and
Warrants in accordance with the terms hereof and to issue the Conversion Shares

anticipate that the Common Stock will be removed by the OTCBB in the foreseeable
future. The Company and its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or
circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing.
7
g. SEC Documents; Financial Statements. Except as disclosed in
Schedule 3(g), since December 31, 2005 the Company has timely filed all reports,
schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with
the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date
hereof and all exhibits included therein and financial statements and schedules
thereto and documents (other than exhibits to such documents) incorporated by
reference therein, being hereinafter referred to herein as the "SEC Documents").
As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material
respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of
the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the
SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. None of the
statements made in any such SEC Documents is, or has been, required to be
amended or updated under applicable law (except for such statements as have been
amended or updated in subsequent filings prior the date hereof). As of their
respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC
Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable
accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with
respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
United States generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied,
during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such
financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited
interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be
condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the
consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries
as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and
cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited
statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). Except as set forth in the
financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents, the Company
has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred
in the ordinary course of business subsequent to December 31, 2005 and (ii)
obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of
business and not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be
reflected in such financial statements, which, individually or in the aggregate,
are not material to the financial condition or operating results of the Company.
h. Absence of Certain Changes. Except as set forth in Schedule
3(h), since December 31, 2005, there has been no material adverse change and no
material adverse development in the assets, liabilities, business, properties,
operations, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the

affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or their officers or directors
in their capacity as such, that could have a Material Adverse Effect. Schedule
3(i) contains a complete list and summary description of any pending or, to the
knowledge of the Company, threatened proceeding against or affecting the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, without regard to whether it would have a Material
Adverse Effect. The Company and its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or
circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing.

secrets, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, service names, trade
names and copyrights ("Intellectual Property") necessary to enable it to conduct
its business as now operated (and, except as set forth in Schedule 3(j) hereof,
to the best of the Company's knowledge, as presently contemplated to be operated
in the future); there is no claim or action by any person pertaining to, or
proceeding pending, or to the Company's knowledge threatened, which challenges
the right of the Company or of a Subsidiary with respect to any Intellectual
Property necessary to enable it to conduct its business as now operated (and,
except as set forth in Schedule 3(j) hereof, to the best of the Company's
knowledge, as presently contemplated to be operated in the future); to the best
of the Company's knowledge, the Company's or its Subsidiaries' current and
intended products, services and processes do not infringe on any Intellectual
Property or other rights held by any person; and the Company is unaware of any
facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing. The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to
protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of their Intellectual Property.
k. No Materially Adverse Contracts, Etc. Neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any charter, corporate or other legal
restriction, or any judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation which in the
judgment of the Company's officers has or is expected in the future to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a
party to any contract or agreement which in the judgment of the Company's
officers has or is expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
l. Tax Status. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(l), the
Company and each of its Subsidiaries has made or filed all federal, state and
foreign income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by
any jurisdiction to which it is subject (unless and only to the extent that the

reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and unreported taxes) and has
paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material
in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and
declarations, except those being contested in good faith and has set aside on
its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for
periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations
apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the
taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of no
basis for any such claim. The Company has not executed a waiver with respect to
the statute of limitations relating to the assessment or collection of any
foreign, federal, state or local tax. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(l), none
of the Company's tax returns is presently being audited by any taxing authority.
m. Certain Transactions. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(m)

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

business, properties, prospects, operations or financial conditions, which,
under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or
announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly announced or

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.
q. No Brokers. Except as set forth in Schedule 3(q), 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.
10
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,
2005, 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 best of the Company's knowledge, with respect to the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries or any predecessor of the Company, no past or present
violations of Environmental Laws (as defined below), releases of any material
into the environment, actions, activities, circumstances, conditions, events,
incidents, or contractual obligations which may give rise to any common law
environmental liability or any liability under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 or similar federal, state,
local or foreign laws and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has
received any notice with respect to any of the foregoing, nor is any action
pending or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened in connection with any of the
foregoing. The term "Environmental Laws" means all federal, state, local or
foreign laws relating to pollution or protection of human health or the
environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water,
groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation,
laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of
chemicals, pollutants contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes
(collectively, "Hazardous Materials") into the environment, or otherwise
relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage,
disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all
authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters, injunctions,
judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or
regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder.
(ii) Other than those that are or were stored, used
or disposed of in compliance with applicable law, no Hazardous Materials are
contained on or about any real property currently owned, leased or used by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and no Hazardous Materials were released on
or about any real property previously owned, leased or used by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries during the period the property was owned, leased or used
by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except in the normal course of the
Company's or any of its Subsidiaries' business.
(iii) Except as set forth in Schedule 3(s), to the
best of the Company's knowledge 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.
11
t. Title to Property. The Company and its Subsidiaries have
good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and
marketable title to all personal property owned by them which is material to the
business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all
liens, encumbrances and defects except such as are described in Schedule 3(t) or
such as would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Any real property and
facilities held under lease by the Company and its Subsidiaries are held by them
under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as would not
have a Material Adverse Effect.
u. Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are
insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses
and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be
prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its
Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any
reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance
coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from
similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that
would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
v. Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and each of its
Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient, in
the judgment of the Company's board of directors, to provide reasonable
assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management's
general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary
to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii)
access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general or
specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is
compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action
is taken with respect to any differences.
w. Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor any of
its Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other person
acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary has, in the course of his
actions for, or on behalf of, the Company, used any corporate funds for any
unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating
to political activity; made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any
foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds;
violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or made any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence
payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic
government official or employee.
x. Solvency. 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.
12
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. Certain Registration Matters. Assuming the accuracy of the
Buyers' representations and warranties set forth in Section 3, no registration
under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Conversion
Shares and Warrant Shares by the Company to the Buyers under the transaction
documents. Except as specified in Schedule 3(z), the Company has not granted or
agreed to grant to any Person any rights (including "piggy-back" registration
rights) to have any securities of the Company registered with the Commission or
any other governmental authority that have not been satisfied.
aa. Breach of Representations and Warranties by the Company.
If the Company materially 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; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto
to (a) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise
be required to qualify but for this Section 4(b), (b) subject itself to general
taxation in any such jurisdiction, (c) file a general consent to service of
process in any such jurisdiction, (d) provide any undertakings that cause the
Company undue expense or burden, or (e) make any change in its charter or
bylaws, which in each case the Board of Directors of the Company determines to
be contrary to the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
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 SB-2 (or if the Company is not eligible for the use of Form SB-2 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 SB-2. The Company
shall issue a press release describing the material 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.
13
d. Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net 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 (i) 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); (ii) the satisfaction
of any portion of the Company's debt (other than payment of trade payables and
accrued expenses in the ordinary course of the Company's business and consistent
with prior past practices), or (iii) the redemption of any Common Stock.
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, which consent shall not 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 for cash 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 1933
Act, an equity line of credit or similar financing arrangement) resulting in net
proceeds to the Company of in excess of $1,500,000, 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.
14
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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company's
obligation to reimburse Buyers' expenses shall not exceed $50,000 in the
aggregate.
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
shareholders of the Company, copies of any notices or other information the
Company makes available or gives to such shareholders.
15
h. Authorization and Reservation of Shares. Subject to
Stockholder Approval, the Company shall at all times have authorized, and
reserved for the purpose of issuance, a sufficient number of shares of Common
Stock to provide for the full conversion or exercise of the outstanding Notes
and Warrants and issuance of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in
connection therewith (based on the Conversion Price of the Notes or Exercise
Price of the Warrants in effect from time to time) and as otherwise required by
the Notes. The Company shall not reduce the number of shares of Common Stock
reserved for issuance upon conversion of Notes and exercise of the Warrants
without the consent of each Buyer. The Company shall at all times maintain the
number of shares of Common Stock so reserved for issuance at an amount
("Reserved Amount") equal to no less than two (2) times the number that is then
actually issuable upon full conversion of the Notes and Additional Notes and
upon exercise of the Warrants and the Additional Warrants (based on the
Conversion Price of the Notes or the Exercise Price of the Warrants in effect
from time to time). If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock
authorized and reserved for issuance ("Authorized and Reserved Shares") is below
the Reserved Amount, the Company will promptly take all corporate action
necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including,
without limitation, calling a special meeting of shareholders to authorize
additional shares to meet the Company's obligations under this Section 4(h), in
the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, obtain shareholder
approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares, and voting the
management shares of the Company in favor of an increase in the authorized
shares of the Company to ensure that the number of authorized shares is
sufficient to meet the Reserved Amount. If the Company fails to obtain such
shareholder approval within thirty (30) days following the date on which the
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 Company. If the Company
elects to pay 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 ten (10) 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 Company, until the list is delivered. If
the Company elects to pay the Standard Liquidated Damages Amount in shares of
Common Stock, such shares shall be issued at the Conversion Price at the time of
payment.
i. Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of
the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares upon each national securities exchange
or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are
then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and, so long as any Buyer
owns any of the Securities, shall maintain, so long as any other shares of
Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Conversion Shares and
Warrant Shares from time to time issuable upon conversion of the Notes or
exercise of the Warrants. The Company will obtain and, so long as any Buyer owns
any of the Securities, maintain the listing and trading of its Common Stock on
the OTCBB or any equivalent replacement exchange, the Nasdaq National Market
("Nasdaq"), the Nasdaq SmallCap Market ("Nasdaq SmallCap"), the New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE"), or the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") and will comply in
all respects with the Company's reporting, filing and other obligations under
the bylaws or rules of the 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.
16
j. Corporate Existence. So long as a Buyer beneficially owns
any Notes or Warrants, the Company shall maintain its corporate existence and
shall not sell all or substantially all of the Company's assets, except in the
event of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the
Company's assets, where the surviving or successor entity in such transaction
(i) assumes the Company's obligations hereunder and under the agreements and
instruments entered into in connection herewith and (ii) is a publicly traded
corporation whose Common Stock is listed for trading on the OTCBB, Nasdaq,
Nasdaq SmallCap, NYSE or AMEX.
k. 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. Restriction on Short Sales. The Buyers agree that, so long
as any of the Notes remain outstanding, but in no event less than two (2) years
from the date hereof, the Buyers will not enter into or effect any "short sales"
(as such term is defined in Rule 3b-3 of the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) of the Common Stock or
hedging transaction which establishes a net short position with respect to the
Common Stock.
m. Breach of Covenants. If the Company breaches any of the
covenants set forth in this Section 4, and in addition to any other remedies
available to the Buyers pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the
Buyers the Standard Liquidated Damages Amount, in cash or in shares of Common
Stock at the option of the Company, until such breach is cured. If the Company
elects to pay the Standard Liquidated Damages Amount in shares, such shares
shall be issued at the Conversion Price at the time of payment.
17
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 reasonably acceptable
to the Company and its counsel in form, substance and scope customary for
opinions in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or
transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act
and such sale or transfer is effected or (ii) the Buyer provides reasonable
assurances that the Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144, the Company
shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates,
free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as
specified by such Buyer. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyers, by vitiating
the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the
Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations
under this Section 5 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the
Buyers shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an
injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the
necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being
required.
6. CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATION TO SELL. The obligation of
the Company hereunder to issue and sell the Notes and Warrants to a Buyer at the
Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date of each of
the following conditions thereto, provided that these conditions are for the

covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed,

SCHEDULE 3(c)
Anti Dilution as of September 1, 2006 - without the NIR transaction
Extracted from the 10QSB - 6/30/06
On December 14, 2004, we completed a private placement of 1,550,000 shares of
its Series A convertible preferred stock and issued, for no additional
consideration, to the investors in the private placement, five year warrants to
purchase 465,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.10 per
share which expire December 14, 2009. We received gross proceeds of $1,550,000
in the private placement. As a result of anti-dilution provisions relating to
the series A convertible preferred stock and the warrants that were triggered by
the subscription rights offering the warrant exercise price was reduced to $0.50
per share. At July 25, 2006 every 1 share of series A preferred stock held can
be converted into 2.94 shares of common stock for a total of 5,443,184 shares of
common stock. On October 28, 2005, as anti-dilution protection to each investor
in the December 2004 Private Placement, we issued additional five year warrants
to purchase 1,550,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $0.75
per share which will expire on August 9, 2010. We could receive an additional
$1,395,000 if all of the warrants issued to the Series A stockholders are
exercised though there is no assurance these warrants will be exercised. Holders
of the Series A convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive a cumulative
dividend of 4% per annum, payable either in cash or, at our option, additional
shares of series A convertible preferred stock. On January 3, 2006, we issued
301,423 shares of series A convertible preferred stocks as in-kind dividends to
the holders of series A preferred stock on the dividend record date of December
15, 2005. We inadvertently issued an additional 183,628 series A preferred
dividend shares in lieu of cash dividends than the holders were required to
receive. We intend to send a notice letter to the holders requesting the
shareholders return the certificates and thereafter we will issue an aggregate
of 117,795 series A preferred dividend shares.
24
On August 10, 2005, we consummated a subscription rights offering to our
existing stockholders. We distributed to holders of our common stock
transferable subscription rights to purchase shares of our newly-created series
B convertible preferred stock. We issued the subscription rights at the current
rate of one right for approximately 4.33 shares of our common stock held on the
record date of July 1, 2005, which represents the ratio of subscription rights
to total common shares outstanding of 30,281,107 on the record date. Each
subscription right represented the right to purchase one share of newly-created
series B preferred stock. Stockholders that purchased shares of our series B
preferred stock in the rights offering were issued, for no additional
consideration, five-year warrants to purchase that number of shares of our
common stock equal to 50% of the number of shares of series B preferred stock
acquired by the stockholder in the offering. The warrants have an exercise price
of $0.75 per share. At the closing of the subscription rights offering on August
10, 2005,we received gross proceeds of $703,933, issued 1,407,867 shares of
series B convertible preferred stock and 703,934 five-year warrants to purchase
703,934 shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.75 per
share. And will expire August 10, 2010. Holders of the series B convertible
preferred stock are entitled to receive a cumulative dividend of 7% per annum,
payable either in cash or, at our option, additional shares of series B
convertible preferred stock. As of July 25, 2006, every 1 share of series B
preferred stock converts into 1.47 shares of common stock for a total of
1,960,145 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2006, 150,902 shares of series
B convertible stock were converted into 165,034 shares of our common stock. On
January 3, 2006, we issued 76,467 shares of series B convertible preferred stock
as in-kind dividends in to the holders of series B preferred stock on the
dividend record date of December 15, 2005. We inadvertently issued an additional
16,701 series B preferred dividend shares in lieu of cash dividends than the
holders were required to receive. We intend to send a notice letter to the
holders requesting the shareholders return the certificates and thereafter we
will issue an aggregate of 59,766 series B preferred dividend shares. We could
receive an additional $527,950 if all of the warrants issued in the subscription
rights offering are exercised. There can be no assurance as to how many warrants
will be exercised. We incurred legal and accounting fees in connection with the
rights offering totaling approximately $212,000.
