promulgated under the 1933 Act (or successor thereto), or (ii) the date on which
(A) all the Exchange Shares and the Warrant Shares are sold and (B) no amounts
under the Note remain unpaid and there are no unexercised Exchange Rights and no
Warrants are outstanding or issuable, the Company shall file all reports
required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended ("1934 Act"), and the Company shall not terminate its status as
an issuer required to file reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act would
otherwise permit such termination.
Section 4.4 Use of Proceeds.
The Company will contribute all of the proceeds from the sale of the Note
to Financial and Financial will use such contribution for its general working
capital purposes.
Section 4.5 SEC Filings.
If any report, registration statement or amendment or other document
required to be filed by the Company during the Registration Period is not filed
with the SEC through XXXXX then the Company shall deliver a copy of such report
to Buyer or its permitted transferees, if any, by facsimile within two days
after such report is filed with the SEC. The Company shall also deliver to the
Buyer or its permitted transferees copies of any proxy statements, notices and
other information made available or given to the stockholders of the Company

stockholders.

At the Closing, the Company shall take all action necessary to have
authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, the maximum number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Exchange Rights and an exchange
of the Note and the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants. For purposes of this Section 4.6, such maximum number
of shares of Common Stock shall be equal to 19.99% of the total outstanding
shares of Common Stock.
Section 4.7 Listing.
The Company shall, on or before any Exchange Rights are issued, secure the
listing of the Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Exchange Rights on the
New York Stock Exchange, or other national exchange or trading market on which
the Common Stock is listed or included for trading (the "Principal Market")
(subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain such listing so long
as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed or included for trading.
Upon such listing on the Principal Market neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries shall take any action which would be reasonably expected to result
in the delisting or suspension of any of the Shares on the Principal Market.
The Company shall promptly, and in no event later than the following Business
Day, provide to Buyer copies of any notices it
10
receives from the Principal Market regarding any continued eligibility of the
Shares for listing on the Principal Market.
Section 4.8 Expenses.
At the Closing, the Company shall pay to JE Xxxxxxx, LLC a transaction fee
of Two Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars ($240,000). At the Closing, the Company
shall pay the legal fees of Buyer incurred in connection with this transaction
upon receipt of customary legal bills, but only to the extent of Forty Thousand
Dollars ($40,000).
Section 4.9 Limitation on Number of Exchange Shares and the Warrant Shares.
When required under the listing requirements of the Principal Market, the
Company shall not be obligated to issue more than 19.99% of its total
outstanding shares of Common Stock upon the exchange of the Note and the
exercise of all Warrants, except that such limitation shall not apply in the
event that the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by
the Principal Market (or any successor rule or regulation) for issuances of
Common Stock in excess of such amount. Within 90 days of the earlier to occur
of (i) the actual issuance of an aggregate of 2,000,000 Exchange Shares and
Warrant Shares or (ii) the falling below $1.00 of the per-share closing bid
price of the Common Stock for five consecutive trading days, the Company shall
hold a stockholders meeting to seek approval of its stockholders for the
issuance of 19.99% or more of its Common Stock. In the event the Company is
prohibited from issuing Exchange Shares or Warrant Shares as a result of the
operation of this Section 4.9, with respect to the Note, the Company shall be
subject to the restrictions described in the Note, and upon exercise of the
Warrants, the Company shall redeem for cash those Warrant Shares which cannot be
issued, at a price equal to the difference between the closing price, as
reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets ("Bloomberg"), and the exercise price of
such Warrant Shares as of the date of the attempted exercise.
Section 4.10 Other Financing.
During the term of the Note, the Company shall be prohibited from issuing
any convertible variable priced debt or convertible variable priced equity
securities of any type.
ARTICLE V
TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS
The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and
any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates, registered in the name of
Buyer or its respective nominee(s), for the Exchange Shares and the Warrant
Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by Buyer to the Company
upon exchange of amounts outstanding under the Note or exercise of any Warrant
(the "Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions"). If any of the Shares have been
issued in a transaction registered under the 1933 Act, the Company shall
promptly notify the transfer agent that any certificates evidencing such Shares
shall be issued without any restrictive legend. The Company warrants that no
instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to
in this Article V, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2.7
hereof (in the case of the issuance of the Exchange Shares or any of the Warrant
Shares in a transaction exempt from registration under the 1933 Act) will be
given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Shares shall otherwise
be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the
extent provided in this Agreement. If Buyer provides the Company with an
opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company,
to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of the Shares may be
made without registration under
11
the 1933 Act or Buyer provides the Company with assurances required by Section
2.6 of this Agreement that the Shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144, the
Company shall permit the transfer, and promptly instruct its transfer agent to
issue one or more certificates in such name and in such denominations as
specified by Buyer and without any restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges
that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to
Buyer by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated
hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a
breach of its obligations under this Article V will be inadequate and agrees, in
the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of
this Article V, that Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available
remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring
immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss
and without any bond or other security being required.

INDEMNIFICATION
(a) In consideration of Buyer's execution and delivery of the
Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to
all of the Company's other obligations under any of the Transaction Documents to
which it is a party, and in addition to any other rights Buyer may have at law
or in equity, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless
Buyer and its affiliates, members, managers, stockholders, officers, directors,
employees, investors and any of the foregoing persons' agents, representatives,
successors and permitted assigns (including, without limitation, those retained
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
(collectively, the "Buyer Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all
actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses (including, without limitation,
diminutions in value), costs, penalties, deficiencies, fees, liabilities,
expenses and damages, and expenses in connection therewith, and including
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (the "Buyer Losses"), incurred by
any Buyer Indemnified Party as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to
(a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by
the Company or Financial in the Transaction Documents (other than those made in
Section 3.9 for which Buyer shall have no right to indemnification hereunder) or
(b) any nonfulfillment or breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the
Company or Financial contained in the Transaction Documents.
(b) The Buyer shall, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its
affiliates, stockholders, officers, directors, employees, investors and any of
the foregoing persons' agents, representatives, successors and permitted assigns
(including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the "Company
Indemnified Parties" and together with the Buyer Indemnified Parties, the
"Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all actions, causes of action,
suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, deficiencies, fees,
14
liabilities, expenses and damages, and expenses in connection therewith, and
including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (the "Company Losses",
and together with the Buyer Losses, the "Losses"), incurred by any Company
Indemnified Party as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any
misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in
the Transaction Documents, or (b) any nonfulfillment or breach of any covenant,
agreement or obligation of the Buyer contained in the Transaction Documents,
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the following
sentence, upon judicial determination, which is final and no longer appealable,
that the act, omission or event giving rise to the indemnification provided in
this Agreement, resulted primarily out of or was based primarily upon an
Indemnified Party's gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct (unless such
action was based upon such Indemnified Party's reliance in good faith upon any
of the representations, warranties, covenants or promises made by other party in
this Agreement), the party being required to indemnify such Indemnified Party
(such indemnifying party, the "Indemnifying Party") shall not be responsible for
any Losses sought to be indemnified in connection therewith, and the
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to recover from such Indemnified Party all
amounts previously paid in full or partial satisfaction of such indemnity,
together with all costs and expenses of the Indemnifying Party reasonably
incurred in effecting such recovery, if any.
(d) All indemnification rights hereunder shall survive the execution
and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated therein for the period specified in Section 9.9,
regardless of any investigation, inquiry or examination made for or on behalf
of, or any knowledge of the Buyer and/or any of the other Indemnified Parties or
the acceptance by the Buyer of any certificate or opinion, provided if Buyer has
actual knowledge that any representation or warranty of the Company or Financial
in the Transaction Documents, which otherwise would give rise to Buyer's Losses,
is untrue or incorrect, the Company shall not indemnify any Buyer Indemnified
Party from Buyer's Losses under this Article VIII.
(e) If for any reason the indemnity provided for in this Article VIII
is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold each such
Indemnified Party harmless from all such Losses arising with respect to the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, then the Indemnifying
Party and the Indemnified Party shall each contribute to the amount paid or
payable with respect to Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party on the one
hand and such Indemnified Party on the other but also the relative fault of the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party as well as any relevant equitable
considerations. In addition, the Indemnifying Party agrees to reimburse any
Indemnified Party upon demand for all reasonable expenses (including legal
counsel fees and costs) incurred by such Indemnified Party or any such other
person in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such action
or claim. The indemnity, contribution and expense reimbursement obligations that
the Indemnifying Party has under this Article VIII shall be the exclusive remedy
of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit any action Buyer may have
under any federal or state securities laws or any express right or remedy
granted under any Transaction Document. The parties further agree that the
indemnification and reimbursement commitments set forth in this Agreement shall
apply whether or not the Indemnified Party is a formal party to any such
lawsuits, claims or other proceedings.
(f) Any indemnification of any Indemnified Party pursuant to this
Article VIII shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds
from the Indemnifying Party to an account designated by the Indemnified Party
within fifteen (15) days after the determination thereof.
15
(g) An Indemnifying Party shall be liable to the Indemnified Party
for any Losses only if the Indemnified Party delivers to the Indemnifying Party
written notice, setting forth in reasonable detail the identity, nature and
amount of Losses related to such claim or claims no later than ninety (90) days
after any such Loss has arisen, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be
obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party. An Indemnified Party's failure to
provide the detail required by the preceding sentence shall not constitute
either a breach of this Agreement by the Indemnified Party or any basis for the
Indemnifying Party to assert that the Indemnified Party did not comply with the
terms of this Article VIII sufficient to cause the Indemnified Party to have
waived its rights under this Article VIII, unless the Indemnifying Party
demonstrates that its ability to defend against any claims with respect thereto
has been materially prejudiced.
ARTICLE IX
GOVERNING LAW; MISCELLANEOUS
Section 9.1 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial.
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and
interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the

waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that
such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the
venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby
irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being
served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such
party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that

thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right
to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY

its rights hereunder to any affiliate of Buyer; provided, however, that any such
assignment shall not release the Buyer from its obligations hereunder unless

Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 9.12, the representations
and warranties of the Company and Buyer contained in Articles II and III, the
agreements and covenants set forth in Article IX, and the indemnification
provisions set forth in Article VIII shall survive the Closing for the period
that the Note remains outstanding, and, except for the agreements and covenants
of the Company which by their terms expire at such time as no amounts are due
and owing under the Note, the agreements and covenants set forth in Articles IV
and V shall survive the Closing until the later of the date that (i) Buyer does
not hold any Securities or (ii) at such time as such agreements or covenants are
no longer enforceable under applicable statutes of limitations; provided,
however, nothing contained in this Section
18
9.9 shall require the Company or Buyer to remake any representation or warranty

In the event that the Closing shall not have occurred on or before ten

have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such breaching party
at the close of business on such date without liability of any party to any

Buyer and each holder of the Securities shall have all rights and remedies
set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which Buyer
has been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract (except that
only Buyer shall have the rights under Article VIII for breaches of the
Company's representations and warranties herein). Any person having any rights
under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights
specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by

To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to Buyer
hereunder or pursuant to the Note or any Warrant or Buyer enforces or exercises
its rights hereunder or 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,
19
common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such
