Effect. The Company and each Subsidiary are duly qualified to conduct its
respective businesses and are in good standing as a foreign corporation in each
jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by
it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so
qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not, individually or in
the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company in
connection therewith. Each Transaction Document has been (or upon delivery will
have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with
the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the
Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as
such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or
affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors' rights and remedies or by
other equitable principles of general application.
(d) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the
transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or
violate any provision of the Company's or any Subsidiary's certificate or
articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents,
or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or
lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any
rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without
notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other

injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority
to which the Company or a Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state
securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the
Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the case of each of
clauses (ii) and (iii), such as would not, individually or in the aggregate,
have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(e) Filings, Consents and Approvals. The Company is not required to
obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or
make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local
or other governmental authority or other Person in connection with the
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents,
other than (i) the filing with the Commission of one or more Registration

The Shares, when issued and paid for in accordance with the Transaction
Documents, and the Warrant Shares, when issued against full payment of the
exercise price as provided in the Warrants, will be duly and validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable, and free and clear of all Liens. The Company has
reserved from its duly authorized capital stock the shares of Common Stock
issuable pursuant to this Agreement in order to issue the Shares and the Warrant

contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as specified in the SEC
Reports, there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip rights to subscribe
to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities,

any right to subscribe for or acquire, any shares of Common Stock, or contracts,
commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any
Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock, or
securities or rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock.
Except as specified in the SEC Reports, the issue and sale of the Shares and
Warrants, or the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants,
will not, immediately or with the passage of time, obligate the Company to issue
shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the
Investors) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to
adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under such securities.
(h) SEC Reports. The Company has filed all reports required to be
filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including pursuant to

rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the
time of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved, except as may be
otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto, and
fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company
and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the

7

decision with respect thereto, individually or in the aggregate, have or
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the

breach of fiduciary duty, except as specifically disclosed in the SEC Reports.

including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws relating

such Subsidiary, as appropriate. The Company is in compliance, in all material
respects, with all effective requirements of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, as
amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, that are applicable to it.
(n) Regulatory Permits. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the
Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and
permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory
authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the
SEC Reports, except where the failure to possess such permits would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received
any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or material modification of
any such permits.
(o) Title to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and
marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them that is

made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the
Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company
and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable
leases of which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance, except as
would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(p) Patents and Trademarks. The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or
have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark
applications, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and other similar
rights that are necessary or material for use in connection with their
respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports (collectively, the

received a written notice that the Intellectual Property Rights used by the

Except as set forth in the Sec Reports, to the knowledge of the Company, all
such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing
infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights.
9
(q) Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by
insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks
and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the
Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged. The Company has no reason to believe
that it will not be able to renew its and the Subsidiaries' 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 on terms
consistent with market for the Company's and such Subsidiaries' respective lines
of business.
(r) Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in
the SEC Reports, none of the officers or directors of the Company and, to the
knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company is presently a
party to any transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for
services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract,
agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or
by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise
requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the
knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such
employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or
partner, that is required to be disclosed in the SEC Reports.
(s) Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and the Subsidiaries
maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient 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. The Company has established disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15) for
the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that
material information relating to the Company, including its Subsidiaries, is
made known to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer by others
within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company's
Form 10-KSB or 10-QSB, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company's
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the
effectiveness of the Company's controls and procedures in accordance with Item
307 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act for the Company's most recently
ended fiscal quarter or fiscal year-end (such date, the "EVALUATION DATE"). The
Company presented in its most recently filed Form 10-KSB or Form 10-QSB the
conclusions of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer about the
effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their
evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have
been no significant changes in the Company's internal control over financial
reporting (as such term is defined in Item 308(c) of Regulation S-K under the
Exchange Act) or, to the Company's knowledge, in other factors that could
significantly affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
10
(t) Solvency. Based on the financial condition of the Company as of
the Closing Date (and assuming that the Closing shall have occurred), (i) the
Company's fair saleable value of its assets exceeds the amount that will be
required to be paid on or in respect of the Company's existing debts and other
liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the
Company's assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its
business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be
conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital
requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and projected capital
requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow
of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to
liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of
the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt
when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur
debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account
the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).
(u) Certain Fees. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, no brokerage
or finder's fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company to any
broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment
banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. The Investors shall have no obligation with respect to any fees
or with respect to any claims (other than such fees or commissions owed by an
Investor pursuant to written agreements executed by such Investor which fees or
commissions shall be the sole responsibility of such Investor) made by or on
behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may
be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(v) Certain Registration Matters. Assuming the accuracy of the
Investors' representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.2(b)-(e), no
registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the
Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares by the Company to the Investors under
the Transaction Documents. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, 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.
(w) Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Stock is
registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. Except as specified in
the SEC Reports, the Company has not, in the one year preceding the date hereof,
received notice from any Trading Market to the effect that the Company is not in
compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements thereof. The Company is,
and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue
to be, in compliance with the listing and maintenance requirements for continued
listing of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is
currently listed or quoted. The issuance and sale of the Shares and the Warrants
under the Transaction Documents, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon
exercise of the Warrants, does not contravene the rules and regulations of the
Trading Market on which the Common Stock is currently listed or quoted, and no
approval of the shareholders of the Company
11
thereunder is required for the Company to issue and deliver to the Investors the
Shares or the Warrants contemplated by Transaction Documents, or to issue the
Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants.
(x) Investment Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate
of, and immediately following the Closing will not have become, an "investment
company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(y) Application of Takeover Protections. The Company has taken all
necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share
acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under
a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its
state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Investors as a
result of the Investors and the Company fulfilling their obligations or
exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without
limitation the Company's issuance of the Shares and the Warrants, and the
issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants, and the Investors'
ownership of the Shares and the Warrants.
(z) No Additional Agreements. The Company does not have any agreement
or understanding with any Investor with respect to the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents other than as specified in the Transaction
Documents.
(aa) Disclosure. The Company confirms that neither it nor any Person
acting on its behalf has provided any Investor or its respective agents or
counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material,
non-public information except insofar as the existence and terms of the proposed
transactions hereunder may constitute such information. The Company understands
and confirms that the Investors will rely on the foregoing representations and
covenants in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All disclosure
provided to the Investors regarding the Company, its business and the
transactions contemplated hereby, furnished by or on behalf of the Company
(including the Company's representations and warranties set forth in this
Agreement) are true and correct and do not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.
(bb) Tax Status. Except for matters that would not, individually or in
the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, the Company and each Subsidiary has filed all necessary federal, state
and foreign income and franchise tax returns and has paid or accrued all taxes
shown as due thereon, and the Company has no knowledge of a tax deficiency which
has been asserted or threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary.

and performance by such Investor of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or, if such
Investor is not a corporation, such partnership, limited liability company or
other applicable like action, on the part of such Investor. Each of this
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement has been duly executed by such
Investor, and when delivered by such Investor in accordance with terms hereof,
will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Investor,
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or
affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors' rights and remedies or by
other equitable principles of general application.
(b) Investment Intent. Such Investor is acquiring the Shares and the
Warrants, and, upon exercise of the Warrants, the Warrant Shares, as principal
for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for
distributing or reselling such Shares or Warrants, or any part thereof, without
prejudice, however, to such Investor's right at all times to sell or otherwise
dispose of all or any part of such Shares or Warrants, or the Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, in compliance with applicable federal
and state securities laws. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence,
nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such
Investor to hold the Shares or the Warrants, or the Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants, for any period of time. Such Investor is acquiring the
Shares and the Warrants, and, upon exercise of the Warrant, the Warrant Shares,
hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Investor does not have
any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to
distribute any of the Shares or the Warrants, or the Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants.
(c) Investor Status. At the time such Investor was offered the Shares
and the Warrants, it was, and at the date hereof it is, (i) knowledgeable,
sophisticated and experienced in making, and qualified to make, decisions with
respect to investments in securities representing an investment decision similar
to that involved in the purchase of the Shares and the Warrants, including
investments in securities issued by the Company and comparable entities, and has
had the opportunity to request, receive, review and consider all information it
deemed relevant in making an informed decision to purchase the Shares and the
Warrants; and (ii) an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) under the
Securities Act. Such Investor is not a registered broker-dealer under Section 15
of the Exchange Act.
(d) General Solicitation. Such Investor is not purchasing the Shares

magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at
any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.
14
(e) Access to Information. Such Investor acknowledges that it has
reviewed the SEC Reports and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such
questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from,
representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the
offering of the Shares and the Warrants and the merits and risks of investing in
the Shares and the Warrants; (ii) access to information about the Company and
the Subsidiaries and their respective financial condition, results of
operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable
it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such
additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without
unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment
decision with respect to the investment. Neither such inquiries nor any other
investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Investor or its representatives
or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Investor's right to rely on the
truth, accuracy and completeness of the SEC Reports and the Company's
representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents.
(f) Certain Trading Activities. Such Investor has not directly or
indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any
understanding with such Investor, engaged in any transactions in the securities

Investor was first contacted by the Company or RCP regarding an investment in
the Company and (ii) the 30th day prior to the date of this Agreement. Such
Investor covenants that neither it nor any Person acting on its behalf or
pursuant to any understanding with it will engage in any transactions in the
securities of the Company (including Short Sales) prior to the time that the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed. Neither such
Investor (including its Affiliates), nor any Person acting on behalf of or
pursuant to any understanding with such Investor, holds a short position,
directly or indirectly, in any shares of the Company's common stock.
(g) Reliance on Investor Representations. Such Investor understands
that the Shares and the Warrants are being offered and sold to it in reliance
upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and state securities
laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the
Investor's compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgements and understandings of the Investor set forth herein in order to
determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the
Investor to acquire the Shares and the Warrants. Under such laws and rules and
regulations the Shares and the Warrants, and the Warrant shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants, may be resold without registration under the
Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. The Investor represents
that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in
effect, and understands the resale limitations.

the Warrants, involves a significant degree of risk, including a risk of total
loss of the Investor's investment, and the Investor has full cognizance of and

15
Investor's purchase of the Shares and the Warrants, including, but not limited
to, those set forth under the caption "Risk Factors" in the quarterly report on
Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2005. The Investor understands that
the market price of the Common Stock has been volatile and that no
representation is being made as to the future value of the Common Stock. The
Investor has the knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as
to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares
and the Warrants, and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants,
and has the ability to bear the economic risks of an investment in the Shares
and the Warrants, and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has
passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares, the
Warrants or the Warrant Shares.
(j) Location of Offices. Such Investors principal executive offices
are in the jurisdiction set forth immediately below the Investor's name on the

the advice of any other Investor's business and/or legal counsel in making such
decision. Such Investor has not relied on the business or legal advice of RCP or
any of its agents, counsel or Affiliates in making its investment decision
hereunder, and confirms that none of such Persons has made any representations
or warranties to such Investor in connection with the transactions contemplated

ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 (a) The Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares may only be
disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection
with any transfer of the Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares other than
pursuant to an effective registration statement, to the Company, to an Affiliate
of an Investor or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b),
the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an
opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which
opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such
transfer does not require registration of such transferred Shares, Warrants or
Warrant Shares under the Securities Act.
(b) Certificates evidencing the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant
Shares will contain the following legend, until such time as they are not
required under Section 4.1(c):
16
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN
RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT
BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE
EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO
THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE
REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED
IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT SECURED BY SUCH
SECURITIES.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that an Investor may from time to
time pledge, and/or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares, the
Warrants or the Warrant Shares pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement in
connection with a bona fide margin account and, if required under the terms of
such agreement or account, such Investor may transfer pledged or secured Shares,
Warrants or Warrant Shares to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or
transfer would not be subject to approval or consent of the Company and no legal
opinion of legal counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be
required in connection with the pledge, but such legal opinion may be required
in connection with a subsequent transfer following default by the Investor
transferee of the pledge. No notice shall be required of such pledge. At the
appropriate Investor's expense, the Company will execute and deliver such
reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Shares, Warrants or
Warrant Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of
the Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares including the preparation and
filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the
Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to
appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders thereunder.
(c) Upon an Investor's written request, certificates evidencing the
Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares containing any legend (including the
legend set forth in Section 4.1(b)): (i) while a registration statement
(including a Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is
effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following a sale or transfer of such
Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor
is not an Affiliate of the Company), or (iii) while such Shares, Warrants or
Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k), shall be replaced with
certificates that do not bear such legends as hereafter set forth; provided,
however, in the case of clause (i) the request is accompanied by a written
certification by the Investor that (A) the Investor has a present intention to
dispose of the Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares covered by such
Registration Statement pursuant to a plan of distribution included in a
currently available prospectus related thereto, and (B) the
17
Investor will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements applicable to
such disposition and, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii), the request is
accompanied by such reasonable and appropriate customary representations as may
be reasonably requested by the Company. The Company agrees that following the
Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this
Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than seven (7) Trading Days following the
delivery by a Investor to the Company or the Company's transfer agent of a
certificate representing the Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares issued
with a restrictive legend (such seventh Trading Day, the "Legend Removal Date"),
together with the written request of such Investor accompanied by the written
representation letter in customary form, deliver or cause to be delivered to
such Investor a certificate representing such shares that is free from all
restrictive and other legends. Certificates for the Shares, the Warrants or the
Warrant Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the
transfer agent of the Company to the Investors by crediting the account of the
Investor's prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System.
(d) Each Investor, severally and not jointly with the other Investors,
agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing
the Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares as set forth in this Section 4.1
is predicated upon the Company's reliance that the Investor will sell any Shares
or Warrants pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities
Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption
therefrom.
4.2 Furnishing of Information. As long as any Investor owns Shares,
Warrants or Warrant Shares, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain
extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all
reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to
the Exchange Act. As long as any Investor owns Shares, Warrants or Warrant
Shares, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it
will prepare and furnish to the Investors and make publicly available in
accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Investors to
sell the Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares under Rule 144. The Company
further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of the
Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares may reasonably request, all to the
extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell the Shares, the
Warrants or the Warrant Shares without registration under the Securities Act
within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.
4.3 Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its best efforts to
ensure that no Affiliate of the Company shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit
offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in
Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale
of the Shares and the Warrants in a manner that would require the registration
under the Securities Act of the sale of the Shares and the Warrants to the
Investors, or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares and
the Warrants for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market in
a manner that would require shareholder approval of the sale of the Shares and
the Warrants to the Investors.
18
4.4 Subsequent Registrations. Other than the Registration Statements under
the Registration Rights Agreement, prior to the Effective Date of the
Registration Statements that cover the Registrable Securities, the Company may

in any filing with the Commission (other than the Registration Statement and any
exhibits to filings made in respect of this transaction in accordance with
periodic filing requirements under the Exchange Act) or any regulatory agency or
Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Investor, except to
the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations.

months following the Closing Date, the Company shall not issue any "Future
Priced Securities" as such term is described by NASD IM-4350-1.

agents (each, an "INVESTOR PARTY") harmless from any and all losses,
liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses,
including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs of investigation (collectively, "LOSSES") that any
such Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any
misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement made by the Company in any Transaction Document. In
addition to the indemnity contained herein, the Company will reimburse each
Investor Party for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost
of any investigation, preparation and travel in connection therewith) incurred
in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred.
4.8 Non-Public Information. The Company covenants and agrees that neither
it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Investor or its
agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes
material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Investor shall have
executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such
information. The Company understands and confirms that each Investor shall be
19
reasonably relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in
securities of the Company.
4.9 Listing of Shares. The Company agrees, (i) if the Company applies to
have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will include in
such application the Shares and the Warrant Shares, and will take such other
action as is necessary or desirable to cause the Shares to be listed on such
other Trading Market as promptly as possible, and (ii) it will take all action
reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on

affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid
and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so
agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
6.13 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the
Transaction Documents, whenever any Investor exercises a right, election, demand
or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform
its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Investor
may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written
notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in
part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
6.14 Replacement of Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares. If any certificate
or instrument evidencing any Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares is mutilated,
lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in
exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and
substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or
destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants
for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any
reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement
certificates or instruments. If any such replacement certificate or instrument
is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of
such mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any
issuance of a replacement.
6.15 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights
provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the
Investors and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the
Transaction Documents. The parties agree that
24
monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by
reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and
hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such
obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
6.16 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or
payments to any Investor pursuant to any Transaction Document or an Investor
enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the
proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered
from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored
to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law
(including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common
law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been
made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
6.17 Independent Nature of Investors' Obligations and Rights. The
obligations of each Investor under any Transaction Document are several and not
joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be
responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
Investor under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Investor to
purchase Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such
Investor independently of any other Investor. Nothing contained herein or in any
Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto,
shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a
joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the
Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such
obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each
Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such
Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Investor
will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its
investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights under the Transaction
Documents. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce
its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this
Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be
necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any
proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the Investors
has been provided with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing
a transaction with multiple Investors and not because it was required or
requested to do so by any Investor.
6.18 Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the liability of an Investor
arising directly or indirectly, under any Transaction Document of any and every
nature whatsoever shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of such Investor,
and that no trustee, officer, other investment vehicle or any other Affiliate of
such Investor or any investor, shareholder or holder of shares of beneficial
interest of such a Investor shall be personally liable for any liabilities of
such Investor.

6.19 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their
respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction
Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any
ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed
in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.
