by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction
Documents. Except as disclosed in the Reports, there is no pending
or, to the best knowledge of the Company, basis for or threatened action, suit,
proceeding or investigation before any court, governmental agency or body, or
arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company, or any of its Affiliates which
litigation if adversely determined would have a Material Adverse

Manipulation. The Company and its Affiliates have not taken,
and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or that might

7

on the financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, (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

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).

Company is not in violation of its articles of incorporation or
bylaws. Except as set forth in Schedule 5(l), the Company is
(i) not in default under or in violation of any other material agreement or
instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties are
bound or affected, which default or violation would have a Material Adverse
Effect, (ii) not in default with respect to any order of any court, arbitrator
or governmental body or subject to or party to any order of any court or
governmental authority arising out of any action, suit or proceeding under any
statute or other law respecting antitrust, monopoly, restraint of trade, unfair
competition or similar matters, or (iii) not in violation of any statute, rule
or regulation of any governmental authority which violation would have a
Material Adverse Effect.

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 of any security of the Company nor solicited any offers to buy any
security of the Company under circumstances that would cause the offer of the
Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by
the Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval
provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of
the Bulletin Board. No prior offering will impair the exemptions
relied upon in this Offering or the Company’s ability to timely comply with its
obligations hereunder. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates
will take any action or steps that would cause the offer or issuance of the
Securities to be integrated with other offerings which would impair the
exemptions relied upon in this Offering or the Company’s ability to timely
comply with its obligations hereunder. The Company will not conduct
any offering other than the transactions contemplated hereby that may be
integrated with the offer or issuance of the Securities that would impair the
exemptions relied upon in this Offering or the Company’s ability to timely
comply with its obligations hereunder.
(n) No General
Solicitation. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates,

Liabilities. The Company has no liabilities or obligations
which are material, individually or in the aggregate, other than those incurred

Circumstances. Since June 30, 2008, except as disclosed in the
Reports, no event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the
Company or its businesses, properties, operations or financial condition, that,
under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or
announcement prior to the date hereof by the Company but which has not been so
publicly announced or disclosed in the Reports.
(q) Banking. Schedule 5(q) contains a list of all
financial institutions at which the Company and Subsidiaries maintains deposit,
checking and other accounts. The list includes the accurate addresses
of such financial institution and account numbers of such accounts.
8
(r) Dilution. The
Company's executive officers and directors understand the nature of the
Securities being sold hereby and recognize that the issuance of the Securities
will have a potential dilutive effect on the equity holdings of other holders of
the Company’s equity or rights to receive equity of the Company. The
board of directors of the Company has concluded, in its good faith business
judgment that the issuance of the Securities is in the best interests of the
Company. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to
issue the Incentive Shares, Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Note
and the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants is binding upon the Company
and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the
ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company or parties entitled to
receive equity of the Company.

Accountants and Lawyers. There are no material disagreements
of any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated by the Company to
arise between the Company and the accountants and lawyers previously and

political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic
government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political
parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any
contribution made by the Company (or made by any person acting on its behalf of

12(g) of the 1934 Act. Pursuant to the provisions of the 1934 Act,
the Company has timely filed all reports and other materials required to be

months. As of the Closing Date, the Company is not a “shell company”;

6. Regulation D Offering/Legal
Opinion. The offer and issuance of the Securities to the
Subscribers is being made pursuant to the exemption from the registration
provisions of the 1933 Act afforded by Section 4(2) or Section 4(6) of the 1933
Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. On the
Closing Date, the Company will provide an opinion reasonably acceptable to the
Subscribers from the Company's legal counsel opining on the availability of an
exemption from registration under the 1933 Act as it relates to the offer and
issuance of the Securities and other matters reasonably requested by
Subscribers. A form of the legal opinion is annexed hereto as Exhibit G. The
Company will provide, at the Company's expense, such other legal opinions, if
any, as are reasonably necessary in each Subscriber’s opinion for the issuance
and resale of the Incentive Shares, Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Notes and exercise of the Warrants pursuant to an effective registration
statement, Rule 144 under the 1933 Act 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 to assure that the Company's transfer agent shall issue stock
certificates in the name of Subscriber (or its permitted 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 the certificates representing such shares shall
contain no legend other than the legend set forth in Section 4(h). If
and when Subscriber sells the Shares, assuming (i) a registration statement
including such Shares for registration, filed with the Commission is effective
and the prospectus, as supplemented or amended, contained therein is current and
(ii) Subscriber or its agent confirms in writing to the transfer agent that
Subscriber has complied with the prospectus delivery requirements, the Company
will reissue the Shares without restrictive legend and the Shares will be
free-trading, and freely transferable. In the event that the Shares
are sold in a manner that complies with an exemption from registration, the
Company will promptly instruct its counsel to issue to the transfer agent an
opinion permitting removal of the legend indefinitely, if pursuant to Rule
144(b)(1)(i) of the 1933 Act, or for 90 days if pursuant to the other provisions
of Rule 144 of the 1933 Act, provided that Subscriber delivers all reasonably
requested representations in support of such opinion.
10
(b) Subscriber
will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to convert the Note,
interest, or part thereof by telecopying, or otherwise delivering a 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
13(a) of this Agreement. 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 by 6 PM Eastern Time (“ET”) (or if received by the
Company after 6 PM ET, then the next business day) 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
Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note to Subscriber via express
courier for receipt by Subscriber within three (3) business days after the
Conversion Date (such third day being the "Delivery Date"). In
the event the Conversion 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. A Note representing the balance of the Note
not so converted will be provided by the Company to Subscriber if requested by
Subscriber, provided Subscriber delivers the original Note to the
Company.
(c) The
Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Conversion Shares in the
form required pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, or the Mandatory Redemption Amount
described in Section 7.2 hereof, respectively, later than the Delivery Date or
the Mandatory Redemption Payment Date (as hereinafter defined) could result in
economic loss to the Subscriber. As compensation to Subscriber for
such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty) to Subscriber for late issuance of Conversion Shares in the form
required pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof upon Conversion of the Note, the amount
of $100 per business day after the Delivery Date for each $10,000 of Note
principal amount and interest (and proportionately for other amounts) being
converted of the corresponding Conversion Shares which are not timely
delivered. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this
Section 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 Conversion Shares within seven (7)
business days after the Delivery Date or make payment within seven (7) business
days after the Mandatory Redemption Payment Date (as defined in Section 7.2
below), Subscriber will be entitled to 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
Subscriber shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately
prior to the delivery of such notice, except that the damages payable in
connection with the Company’s default shall be payable through the date notice
of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.
7.2. Mandatory Redemption at
Subscriber’s Election. In the event (i) the Company is
prohibited from issuing Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, (ii) the Company
redeems any securities junior to the Notes, (iii) upon the occurrence of any
other Event of Default (as defined in the Note or in this Agreement), 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 Subscriber (“Calculation Period”), a sum of
money determined by multiplying up to the outstanding principal amount of the
Note designated by Subscriber by 120%, plus accrued but unpaid interest and any
other amounts due under the Transaction Documents ("Mandatory Redemption
Payment"). The Mandatory Redemption Payment must be received by
Subscriber not later than ten (10) business days after request ("Mandatory Redemption Payment
Date"). Upon receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, the
corresponding Note principal, interest and other amounts will be deemed paid and
no longer outstanding. The Subscriber may rescind the election to
receive a Mandatory Redemption Payment at any time until such payment is
actually received. 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 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 (as defined in Section 9(b)
hereto), (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) a majority of the board of directors of the
Company as of the Closing Date no longer serving as directors of the Company
except due to natural causes, and (iv) the sale, lease or transfer of
substantially all the assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries.
11
7.3. Maximum
Conversion. Subscriber shall not be entitled to convert on a
Conversion Date that amount of the Note nor may the Company make any payment
including principal, interest, or liquidated or other damages by delivery of
Conversion Shares in connection with that number of Conversion Shares which
would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by Subscriber and its Affiliates on a Conversion Date or
payment date, and (ii) the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon the
conversion of the Note with respect to which the determination of this provision
is being made on a calculation date, which would result in beneficial ownership
by Subscriber and its Affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Company on such Conversion Date. For the purposes
of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined
in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and Rule 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 increase the permitted beneficial ownership amount up to 9.99%
upon and effective after 61 days prior written notice to the
Company. Subscriber may allocate which of the equity of the Company
deemed beneficially owned by Subscriber shall be included in the 4.99% amount
described above and which shall be allocated to the excess above
4.99%.
7.4. Injunction Posting of
Bond. In the event Subscriber shall elect to convert a Note or
part thereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that
Subscriber or any one associated or affiliated with Subscriber has been engaged
in any violation of law, or for any other reason, unless, a final non-appealable
injunction from a court made on notice to Subscriber, restraining and or
enjoining conversion of all or part of such Note shall have been sought and
obtained by the Company or the Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit
of Subscriber in the amount of 120% of the outstanding principal and accrued but
unpaid interest of the Note, or aggregate purchase price of the 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 Subscriber to the extent the judgment or decision is
in Subscriber’s favor.
7.5. Buy-In. In
addition to any other rights available to Subscriber, if the Company fails to
deliver to Subscriber Conversion Shares by the Delivery Date and if after the
Delivery Date Subscriber or a broker on Subscriber’s behalf purchases (in an
open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by Subscriber of the Common Stock which Subscriber was
entitled to receive upon such conversion (a "Buy-In"), then the Company
shall pay to Subscriber (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by
the Subscriber) the amount by which (A) 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 request 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 a 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 Subscriber $1,000 plus
interest. Subscriber shall provide the Company written notice and evidence
indicating the amounts payable to 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 Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants and Incentive Shares shall be equitably adjusted and as otherwise
described in this Agreement, the Notes and Warrants.
7.7. Redemption. The
Note shall not be redeemable or callable by the Company, except as described in
the Note.
12
8. Credit Enhancement Fee/Due
Diligence/Legal Fees.
(a) Credit Enhancement
Fee. The Company and Subscriber agree to indemnify the
other against and hold the other harmless from any and all liabilities to any
persons other than those listed on Schedule 8(a) claiming
brokerage commissions, finder’s fees, credit enhancement fees or due diligence
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 or in connection with any investment in the Company at any
time, whether or not such investment was consummated and arising out of such
party’s actions. The Company represents that there are no parties
entitled to receive fees, commissions, credit enhancement fees, due diligence
fees, lead investor fees, or similar payments in connection with the Offering
except as described on Schedule

P.C., a fee of $25,000 (“Subscriber’s Legal Fees”) as reimbursement

Subscriber’s Legal Fees and expenses (to the extent known as of the Closing)
will be payable out of funds held pursuant to the Escrow

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

outstanding. The Company will maintain the quotation or listing of
its Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange, Nasdaq Capital Market, Nasdaq
Global Market, Nasdaq Global Select Market, Bulletin Board, or New York Stock
Exchange (whichever of the foregoing is at the time the 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 Subscribers with 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 and the
Closing Date, the Bulletin Board is and will be the Principal
Market.
(c) Market
Regulations. If required, 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 required and
permitted by applicable law, rule and regulation, for the legal and valid
issuance of the Securities to the Subscriber and promptly provide copies thereof
to the Subscriber.
13
(d) Filing
Requirements. From the date of this Agreement and until the
last to occur of (i) two (2) years after the Closing Date, (ii) until all the
Incentive Shares and Shares have been resold or transferred by the Subscriber
pursuant to a registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(i), or (iii)
the Note and Warrants are no longer outstanding (the date of such latest
occurrence being the “End
Date”), the Company will (A) cause its Common Stock to continue to be
registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the 1934 Act, (B) comply in all
respects with its reporting and filing obligations under the 1934 Act, (C)
voluntarily comply with all reporting requirements that are applicable to an
issuer with a class of shares registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the 1934
Act, if the Company is not subject to such reporting requirements, and (D)
comply with all requirements related to any registration statement filed
pursuant to this Agreement. The Company will use its best 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 the End Date. Until the End Date, the Company
will continue the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on a Principal Market

after such filing.
(e) Use of
Proceeds. The proceeds of the Offering will be employed
by the Company for expenses of the Offering and general working
capital. Except as described on Schedule 9(e), the Purchase
Price may not and will not be used for accrued and unpaid officer and director
salaries, payment of financing related debt, redemption of outstanding notes or
equity instruments of the Company nor non-trade obligations outstanding on a
Closing Date. For so long as any Note is outstanding, the Company
will not prepay any financing related debt obligations, except equipment

consent of the Subscriber.
(f) Reservation. Prior
to the Closing, the Company undertakes to reserve on behalf of Subscriber
from its authorized but unissued Common Stock, a number of shares of Common
Stock equal to 175% of the amount of Common Stock necessary to allow Subscriber
to be able to convert the entire Note and 100% of the amount of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (“Required
Reservation”). Failure to have sufficient shares
reserved pursuant to this Section 9(f) at any time shall be a material default
of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement and an Event of Default under
the Note. If at any time Notes and Warrants are outstanding the
Company has insufficient Common Stock reserved on behalf of the Subscriber in an
amount less than 140% of the amount necessary for full conversion of the
outstanding Note principal and interest at the conversion price that would be in
effect on every such date and 100% of the Warrant Shares (“Minimum Required
Reservation”), the Company will promptly reserve the Minimum Required
Reservation, or if there are insufficient authorized and available shares of
Common Stock to do so, the Company will take all action necessary to increase
its authorized capital to be able to fully satisfy its reservation requirements
hereunder, including the filing of a preliminary proxy with the Commission not
later than fifteen days after the first day the Company has less than the
Minimum Required Reservation. The Company agrees to provide notice to
the Subscriber not later than three days after the date the Company has less
than the Minimum Required Reservation reserved on behalf of the
Subscriber.
(g) DTC

the Company will employ as the transfer agent for the Common Stock, Incentive
Shares, Shares and Warrant Shares a participant in the Depository Trust Company
Automated Securities Transfer Program.
14

the date of this Agreement and until the End Date, the 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.
(i) Insurance. From
the date of this Agreement and until the End Date, 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 and
location, in amounts and to the extent and in the manner customary for companies
in similar businesses similarly situated and located and to the extent available
on commercially reasonable terms.
(j) Books and
Records. From the date of this Agreement and until the End
Date, the Company will keep true records and books of account in which full,
true and correct entries will be made of all dealings or transactions in
relation to its business and affairs in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.
(k) Governmental
Authorities. From the date of this Agreement and until
the End Date, the Company shall duly observe and conform in all material
respects to all valid requirements of governmental authorities relating to the
conduct of its business or to its properties or assets.
(l) Intellectual
Property. From the date of this Agreement and until the End
Date, the Company shall maintain in full force and effect its corporate
existence, rights and franchises and all licenses and other rights to use

Company and Subsidiaries.
(m) Properties. From
the date of this Agreement and until the End Date, the Company will keep its
properties in good repair, working order and condition, reasonable wear and tear
excepted, and from time to time make all necessary and proper repairs, renewals,
replacements, additions and improvements thereto; and the Company will at all
times comply with each provision of all leases and claims to which it is a party
or under which it occupies or has rights to property if the breach of such
provision could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. The Company will not abandon any of its assets except for
those assets which have negligible or marginal value or for which it is prudent
to do so under the circumstances.
(n) Confidentiality/Public
Announcement. From the date of this Agreement and until
the End Date, the Company agrees that except in connection with a Form 8-K and
the registration statement or statements regarding the Subscriber’s Securities
or in correspondence with the SEC regarding same, it will not disclose publicly
or privately the identity of the Subscriber unless expressly agreed to in
writing by a Subscriber or only to the extent required by law and then only upon
not less than three days prior notice to Subscriber. In any event and
subject to the foregoing, the Company undertakes to file a Form 8-K describing
the Offering not later than the fourth (4th)

Form 8-K, a draft in the final form will be provided to Subscriber for
Subscriber’s review and approval. In the Form 8-K, the Company will
specifically disclose the amount of Common Stock outstanding immediately after
the Closing. Upon delivery by the Company to the
Subscriber after the Closing Date of any notice or information, in writing,
electronically or otherwise, and while a Note, Incentive Shares, Conversion
Shares or Warrants are held by Subscriber, unless the Company has in
good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not
constitute material, nonpublic information relating to
the Company or Subsidiaries, the Company shall within one
business day after any such delivery publicly disclose such
material, nonpublic information on a
Report on Form 8-K. In the event that
the Company believes that a notice or communication to
Subscriber contains material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or
Subsidiaries, the Company shall so indicate to Subscriber prior to delivery of
such notice or information. Subscriber will be granted sufficient
time to notify the Company that Subscriber elects not to receive such
information. In such case, the Company will not deliver such
information to Subscriber. In the absence of any such
indication, Subscriber shall be allowed to presume that all matters
relating to such notice and information do not constitute material,
nonpublic information relating to the Company or
Subsidiaries.
15
(o) Non-Public
Information. The Company covenants
and agrees that except for the Reports, Other Written Information and schedules
and exhibits to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, which information
the Company undertakes to publicly disclose on the Form 8-K described in Section
9(n) above, neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf will at any
time provide Subscriber or its agents or counsel with any information that the
Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior
thereto Subscriber shall have agreed in writing to accept such
information. The Company understands and confirms that Subscriber
shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in
securities of the Company.
(p) Negative

consent of the Subscriber, the Company will not and will not permit any of its
Subsidiaries to directly or indirectly:
(i) create,
incur, assume or suffer to exist any pledge, hypothecation, assignment, deposit
arrangement, lien, charge, claim, security interest, security title, mortgage,
security deed or deed of trust, easement or encumbrance, or preference, priority
or other security agreement or preferential arrangement of any kind or nature
whatsoever (including any lease or title retention agreement, any financing
lease having substantially the same economic effect as any of the foregoing, and
the filing of, or agreement to give, any financing statement perfecting a
security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code or comparable law of any
jurisdiction) (each, a “Lien”) upon any of its
property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired except for: (A) the
Excepted Issuances (as defined in Section 12 hereof), and (B) (a) Liens imposed
by law for taxes that are not yet due or are being contested in good faith and
for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles; (b) carriers’, warehousemen’s, mechanics’,
material men’s, repairmen’s and other like Liens imposed by law, arising in the
ordinary course of business and securing obligations that are not overdue by
more than 30 days or that are being contested in good faith and by appropriate
proceedings; (c) pledges and deposits made in the ordinary course of business in
compliance with workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance and other social
security laws or regulations; (d) deposits to secure the performance of bids,
trade contracts, leases, statutory obligations, surety and appeal bonds,
performance bonds and other obligations of a like nature, in each case in the
ordinary course of business; (e) Liens created with respect to the financing of
the purchase of new property in the ordinary course of the Company’s business up
to the amount of the purchase price of such property; (f) easements, zoning
restrictions, rights-of-way and similar encumbrances on real property imposed by
law or arising in the ordinary course of business that do not secure any
monetary obligations and do not materially detract from the value of the
affected property; and (g) liens set forth on Schedule 9(p)(i) (each of (a)
through (g), a “Permitted
Lien”).
(ii) amend
its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or its charter documents so as to
materially and adversely affect any rights of the Subscriber (an increase in the
amount of authorized shares and an increase in the number of directors will not
be deemed adverse to the rights of the Subscriber);
(iii) repay,
repurchase or offer to repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire or make any
dividend or distribution in respect of any of its Common Stock, preferred stock,
or other equity securities other than to the extent permitted or required under
the Transaction Documents.
16
(iv) engage
in any transactions with any officer, director, employee or any Affiliate of the
Company, 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, in each case in excess of $100,000
other than (i) for payment of salary, or fees for services rendered, (ii)
reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company, and (iii) for
other employee benefits, including stock option agreements under any stock
option plan of the Company; or
(v) prepay

to vendor obligations, any such obligations which in management’s good faith,
reasonable judgment must be repaid to avoid disruption of the Company’s
businesses.
The
Company agrees to provide Subscribers not less than ten (10) days notice prior
to becoming obligated to or effectuating a Permitted Lien or Excepted
Issuance.
(q) Further Registration
Statements. Except for a registration statement filed
exclusively on behalf of the Subscriber, the Company will not, without the
consent of the Subscribers, file with the Commission or with state regulatory
authorities any registration statements or amend any already filed registration
statement to increase the amount of Common Stock registered therein, or reduce
the price of which such company securities are registered therein, (including
but not limited to Forms S-8), until the expiration of the “Exclusion Period,” which shall
be defined as the sooner of (i) the date all of the Registrable Securities [as
defined in Section 11.1(iv)] have been registered in an effective registration
statement, or (ii) until all the Incentive Shares, Conversion Shares and
Warrant Shares have been resold by the Subscriber pursuant to a
registration statement or Rule 144b(1)(i), without regard to volume
limitations. The Exclusion Period will be tolled or reinstated, as
the case may be, during the pendency of an Event of Default as defined in the
Note.
(r) Offering

the Company will not enter into any Equity Line of Credit or similar agreement,
nor issue nor agree to issue any floating or Variable Priced Equity Linked
Instruments nor any of the foregoing or equity with price reset rights
(collectively, the “Variable
Rate Restrictions”). For purposes hereof, “Equity Line of Credit” shall
include any transaction involving a written agreement between the Company and an
investor or underwriter whereby the Company has the right to “put” its
securities to the investor or underwriter over an agreed period of time and at
an agreed price or price formula, and “Variable Priced Equity Linked
Instruments” shall include: (A) any debt or equity securities which are
convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or carry the right to receive
additional shares of Common Stock either (1) at any conversion, exercise or
exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading
prices of or quotations for Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance
of such debt or equity security, or (2) with a fixed conversion, exercise or
exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date at any time
after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security due to a change in
the market price of the Company’s Common Stock since date of initial issuance,
and (B) any amortizing convertible security which amortizes prior to its
maturity date, where the Company is required or has the option to (or any
investor in such transaction has the option to require the Company to) make such
amortization payments in shares of Common Stock which are valued at a price that
is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for Common
Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security
(whether or not such payments in stock are subject to certain equity
conditions).
(s) Seniority. Except
for Permitted Liens, until the Note is fully satisfied or converted, the Company
shall not grant nor allow any security interest to be taken in the assets of the
Company or any Subsidiary or any Subsidiary’s assets; nor issue any debt, equity
or other instrument which would give the holder thereof directly or indirectly,
a right in any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary or any right to payment
equal to or superior to any right of the Subscriber as a holder of the Note in
or to such assets or payment, nor issue or incur any debt not in the ordinary
course of business.
17
(t) Notices. For
so long as the Subscribers hold any Securities, the Company will maintain a
United States address and United States fax number for notice purposes under the
Transaction Documents.
(u) Transactions With
Insiders. So long as the Note is outstanding, the Company
shall not, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries not to, enter into, amend,
modify or supplement, or permit any subsidiary to enter into, amend, modify or
supplement any agreement, transaction, commitment, or arrangement relating to
the sale, transfer or assignment of any of the Company’s tangible or intangible
assets with any of its Insiders (as defined below)(or any persons who were
Insiders at any time during the previous two (2) years), or any Affiliates (as
defined below) thereof, or with any individual related by blood, marriage, or
adoption to any such individual. Affiliate for purposes of this
Section 9(v) means, with respect to any person or entity, another person or

interest in that person or entity, (ii) has ten percent (10%) or more common
ownership with that person or entity, (iii) controls that person or entity, or
(iv) shares common control with that person or entity. “Control” or

direct or indirect, to conduct or govern the policies of another person or
entity. For purposes hereof, “Insiders” shall mean any officer,
director or manager of the Company, including but not limited to the Company’s
president, chief executive officer, chief financial officer and chief operations
officer, and any of their affiliates or family members.
(v) Blackout. The
Company undertakes and covenants that without the consent of the Subscriber,
until the end of the Exclusion Period, the Company will not enter into any
acquisition, merger, exchange or sale or other transaction or fail to take any
action that could have the effect of delaying the effectiveness of any pending
Registration Statement beyond the Effective Date [as defined in Section
11.1(iv)], or causing an already effective registration statement to no longer
be effective or current for a period of forty-five or more days in the aggregate
during any three hundred and sixty-five day period.
10. Covenants of the Company
Regarding Indemnification.
(a) The
Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse and defend the Subscriber,
the Subscriber’s officers, directors, agents, Affiliates, members, managers,
control persons, and principal shareholders, against any claim, cost, expense,
liability, obligation, loss or damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any
nature, incurred by or imposed upon the Subscriber or any such person which
results, arises out of or is based upon (i) any material misrepresentation by
Company or breach of any representation or warranty by Company in this Agreement
or in any Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto in any Transaction Document, or
other agreement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, now or
after the date hereof; or (ii) after any applicable notice and/or cure periods,
any breach or default in performance by the Company of any covenant or
undertaking to be performed by the Company hereunder, or any other agreement
entered into by the Company and Subscriber relating hereto.
(b) In
no event shall the liability of the Subscriber or permitted successor hereunder
or under any Transaction Document or other agreement delivered in connection
herewith be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds
actually received by such Subscriber or successor upon the sale of Registrable
Securities (as defined herein).
(c) The
procedures set forth in Section 11.6 shall apply to the indemnification set
forth in Section 10(a).
18
11.1. Registration
Rights. The Company hereby grants the following registration
rights to holders of the Securities.
(i) On
one occasion, for a period commencing one hundred and twenty-one days after the
Closing Date, but not later than two years after the Closing Date, upon a
written request therefor from any record holder or holders of more than 50% of
the Conversion 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) hereof, which are the
subject of such request for unrestricted public resale by the holder
thereof. For purposes of Sections 11.1(i) and 11.1(ii), Registrable
Securities shall not include Securities which are (A) registered for resale in
an effective registration statement, (B) included for registration in a pending
registration statement, (C) which have been issued without further transfer
restrictions after a sale or transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act or
(D) which may be resold under Rule 144 without volume
limitations. 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 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 X-0, X-0 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 ten (10) days' prior written notice to the record holder of the
Registrable Securities of its intention so to do. Upon 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).
19
(iv) The
Company shall file with the Commission a Form S-1 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 sixty (60) calendar days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Date”), and cause the
Registration Statement to be declared effective not later than one hundred and
twenty (120) days after the Closing Date or one hundred and fifty days (150)
after the Closing Date if the Registration Statement is the subject of a “full
review” by the Commission (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 100% of the Shares issued and issuable upon conversion of all of the
Notes, 100% of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and
100% of the Incentive Shares (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 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 120% of the amount of Common Shares issuable upon full conversion of
all sums due under the Notes and all of the Incentive Shares and Warrant Shares
(the difference between such 120% and the actual amount of shares registered
being the “Shortfall”). In
such event, the Company shall take all actions necessary to cause at least 120%
of the amount of shares of Common Stock issuable upon full conversion of all
sums due under the Notes and 100% of the Incentive Shares and Warrant Shares to
be registered within sixty (60) days after the first day such Shortfall
exists. Failure to file the Registration Statement within thirty (30)
days after the first day such Shortfall first exists or failure to cause such
registration to become effective within sixty (60) days after such Shortfall
first exists shall be a Non-Registration Event.
11.2. Registration
Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of
Sections 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 the Sellers (by telecopier and by e-mail addresses provided by the
Subscribers) and Grushko & Xxxxxxx, P.C. (by telecopier and by email to
Xxxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx) on
or before the second 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;
20
(d) use
its 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) 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 Sellers within twenty-four 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 during reasonable business
hours, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the
Sellers 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 Sellers,
attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement at
such requesting Seller’s expense; 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. Any
Seller’s failure to comment on any registration statement or other document
provided to a Subscriber or its counsel shall not be construed to constitute
approval thereof nor the accuracy thereof.
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 agrees 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) the
Registration Statement is not declared effective on or before the required
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 twenty-five (25) business days by
an effective replacement or amended registration statement or for a period of
time which shall exceed forty (45) 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 one percent (1%) for each thirty (30) days (or such lesser pro-rata
amount for any period of less than thirty (30) days) of the principal amount of
the outstanding Notes and purchase price of Incentive Shares, Shares and Warrant
Shares issued upon conversion of Notes and exercise (but excluding cashless
exercise) of Warrants held by Subscriber which are subject to such
Non-Registration Event, subject to a cap of nine percent (9%) in the
aggregate. 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 a 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 and amounts set forth above calculated from the date
the response was required to have been made. Liquidated Damages shall
not be payable pursuant to this Section 11.4 in connection with Registrable
Securities for such times as such Registrable Securities may be sold by the
holder thereof without restriction pursuant to Section 144(b)(1)(i) of the 1933
Act.
21
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 NASD, 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 any registration statement described in Section
11. Selling Expenses in connection with each such registration
statement shall be borne by the Seller and may be apportioned among the Sellers
in proportion to the number of shares included on behalf of the Seller relative
to the aggregate number of shares included under such registration statement for
all Sellers, 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 of the officers, directors,
agents, Affiliates, members, managers, control persons, and principal
shareholders 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 in
writing specifically for use in such registration statement or
prospectus.
22
(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 pursuant to 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 indemnifying party shall
have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to
indemnified party 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, reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified and indemnifying party, 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.
23
(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 0000 Xxx) will be
entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation 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 pursuant to such
registration statement..
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 Conversion Shares, Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares or any other
Common Stock held by Subscriber has 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, (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, if required, 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(i) above (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
Common Stock 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,
upon request of 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 the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission system, if such transfer agent participates in such
DWAC 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 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 11.2 for an aggregate of
thirty 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 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
of the Common Stock during the aforedescribed thirty day period and the
denominator of which is the lowest conversion price during such thirty day
period, multiplied by the price paid by Subscriber for such Common Stock (“Unlegended Redemption
Amount”). The Company shall pay any payments incurred under
this Section in immediately available funds upon demand.

(d) 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 shall have been sought and obtained by the Company 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 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.
(e)
In addition to any other rights available to Subscriber, if the Company fails to
deliver to a Subscriber Unlegended Shares as required pursuant to this Agreement
and after the Unlegended Shares 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 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.
11.8. In
the event commencing six months after the Closing Date and ending
thirty-six months thereafter, the Subscriber is not permitted to
resell any of the Incentive Shares, Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares without
any restrictive legend or if such sales are permitted but subject to volume
limitations or further restrictions on resale as a result of the unavailability
to Subscriber of Rule 144(b)(1)(i) under the 1933 Act or any successor rule
(a “144 Default”), for
any reason including but not limited to failure by the Company to file
quarterly, annual or any other filings by the required filing dates, except for
Subscriber’s status as an Affiliate or “control person” of the Company, or as a
result of a change in current applicable securities laws, then the Company shall
pay such Subscriber as liquidated damages and not as a penalty an amount equal
to one percent (1%) for each thirty days (or such lesser pro-rata amount for any
period less than thirty days) not to exceed nine percent (9%) in the aggregate,
thereafter of the purchase price of the Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares and
Shares subject to such 144 Default. Liquidated Damages shall not be
payable pursuant to this Section 11.8 in connection with Shares for such times
as such Shares may be sold by the holder thereof without volume or other
restrictions pursuant to Section 144(b)(1)(i) of the 1933 Act or
pursuant to an effective registration statement.
25
12. (a) Reset of Purchase
Price. As a result of the anti-dilution rights granted
to Subscriber in connection with Subscriber’s purchase of common stock and
warrants of the Company as further described on Schedule 5(f)(iii) (“Prior Purchase Shares” and “Prior Purchase Warrants” and “Prior Purchase Warrant Shares”), the exercise price
of the Prior Purchase Warrants is reduced to $0.125 and the Company will issue
to Subscriber a number of Incentive Shares equal to 2,050,128 so that the
average purchase price of each of the Prior Purchase Shares and Incentive Shares
equals $0.125. Subscriber is granted all of the rights, resets and
protections contained in Section 12(b) below in connection with the Incentive
Shares, Prior Purchase Shares, Prior Purchase Warrants and Prior Purchase
Warrant Shares.
(b) Favored Nations
Provision. Other than 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 and 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 to employees, directors,
and consultants, pursuant to plans described on Schedule 5(d) as such plans
are constituted on the Closing Date, (iv) securities upon the exercise or
exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or
convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of
this Agreement and described on Schedule 5(d), and (v) as a
result of the exercise of Warrants or conversion of Notes which are granted or
issued pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the foregoing (i) through (v)
are “Excepted
Issuances”), if at any time the Notes or Warrants are outstanding, the
Company shall agree to or issue (the “Lower Price Issuance”) 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 effect at such time, or if less than
the Warrant exercise price in effect at such time, without the consent of the
Subscriber, then the Company shall issue, for each such occasion, additional
shares of Common Stock to the Subscriber respecting those Conversion Shares,
Incentive Shares and Warrants Shares that are then still owned by the Subscriber
at the time of the Lower Price Issuance so that the average per share purchase
price of the Incentive Shares, Prior Purchase Shares, Prior Purchase Warrants,
Prior Purchase Warrant Shares, Shares or Warrant Shares purchased and owned by
the Subscriber on the date of the Lower Price Issuance is equal to such other
lower price per share and the Conversion Price and Warrant exercise price shall
automatically be reduced to such other lower price. The average
Purchase Price of the Conversion Shares and average exercise price in relation
to the Warrant Shares shall be calculated separately for the Incentive Shares,
Prior Purchase Shares, Prior Purchase Warrant Shares, Shares and Warrant
Shares. The delivery to 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. Subscriber is granted the registration rights described in
Section 11 hereof in connection with such 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. Common Stock issued or issuable by the Company for no
consideration or for consideration that cannot be determined at the time of
issue will be deemed issuable or to have been issued for $0.001 per share of
Common Stock. The rights of 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 or to which Subscriber and Company are
parties.
26
(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 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 Subscriber will be deferred in whole or in part until
such time as 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 and notifies the Company
accordingly.

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 Subscriber has

the documents delivered herewith. No right or obligation of the
Company shall be assigned without prior notice to and the written consent of the
Subscriber.
(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 electronic 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
principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against the
other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be
brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in
the state and county of New York. The parties to this Agreement
hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action
instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of
jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non
conveniens. The parties executing this Agreement
and other agreements referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith on
behalf of the Company agree to submit to the in personam jurisdiction of such
courts and hereby irrevocably 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. Each party hereby irrevocably waives
personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit,
action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight
delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for
notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute
good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process
in any other manner permitted by law.
27
(e) Specific Enforcement,
Consent to Jurisdiction. 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 seek an injunction or 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 13(d) hereof, the Company hereby
irrevocably 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 Documents, the Subscriber may elect to receive the greater
of actual damages or such liquidated damages.
(g) Maximum
Payments. 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 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.
(h) Calendar
Days. All references to “days” in the Transaction
Documents shall mean calendar days unless otherwise stated. The terms
“business days” and “trading days” shall mean days that the New York Stock
Exchange is open for trading for three or more hours. Time periods
shall be determined as if the relevant action, calculation or time period were
occurring in New York City. Any deadline that falls on a non-business
day in any of the Transaction Documents shall be automatically extended to the
next business day and interest, if any, shall be calculated and payable through
such extended period.
(i) Captions: Certain
Definitions. The captions of the various sections and
paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted only for the purposes of
convenience; such captions are not a part of this Agreement and shall not be
deemed in any manner to modify, explain, enlarge or restrict any of the

“person” shall
mean and include an individual, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a
limited liability company, a trust, an unincorporated organization and a
government or any department or agency thereof.
28
(j) Severability. In
the event that any term or provision of this Agreement shall be finally
determined to be superseded, invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable
pursuant to applicable law by an authority having jurisdiction and venue, that
determination shall not impair or otherwise affect the validity, legality or
enforceability: (i) by or before that authority of the remaining terms and
provisions of this Agreement, which shall be enforced as if the unenforceable
term or provision were deleted, or (ii) by or before any other authority of any
of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
(k) Successor
Laws. References in the Transaction Documents to laws, rules,
regulations and forms shall also include successors to and functionally
equivalent replacements of such laws, rules, regulations and forms. A
successor rule to Rule 144(b)(1)(i) shall include any rule that would be

subject to volume restrictions and after a six month holding
period.
