2.16 Full Disclosure. No representation, warranty, schedule or
----------------
certificate of WWAT made or delivered pursuant to the Transaction Documents
contains or will contain any untrue statement of fact, or omits or will omit to
state a material fact the absence of which makes such representation, warranty
or other statement misleading.
3. Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. Purchaser hereby
-----------------------------------------------
represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company that:
3.1 Litigation. There are no claims before any governmental
----------
entity or arbitrator pending or, to such Purchaser's knowledge, currently
threatened against or with respect to such Purchaser relating to or affecting
the Units, which question the validity of this Agreement or any action taken or
to be taken by such Purchaser in connection herewith, or which might result in
any impairment of the right or ability of such Purchaser to enter into or
perform its obligations under this Agreement.
3.2 Awareness of Company Performance. Purchaser acknowledges that

information furnished to Purchaser or to which Purchaser had access.
3.3 Restricted Securities. Such Purchaser understands that (i)
----------------------
the Units are characterized as "restricted securities" under the federal

transaction not involving a public offering, (ii) under such laws and applicable

state securities laws only in certain limited circumstances, and (iii) the
Company may require a legal opinion of such Purchaser's counsel with respect to

--------------------
"accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the

3.5 Legends. Such Purchaser understands that the certificates

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN
THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES
UNDER SUCH SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY
THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF
SUCH SECURITIES ACT.
3.6 Investment Purposes. The Units will be acquired for
--------------------
investment for Purchaser's own account, not as a nominee or agent, an not with a
view to the public resale or distribution thereof within the meaning of the

selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.
Purchaser further represents that he or it does not have any contract,
undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant
participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the
Units.
4. Certain Covenants of WWAT.
----------------------------
4.1 Right to Request Registration. Upon the written request of
-----------------------------
Purchaser at any time the Company complies with the eligibility requirements of
General Instruction I to Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any successor
form) to register the resale of the Company's Common Stock on a registration
statement on such form under the Securities Act, the Company shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to promptly file with the SEC, cause to be
declared effective and maintain the effectiveness of, a registration statement
on such form providing for the resale on a continuous basis, pursuant to Rule
415, by Purchaser of such number of Shares and Warrant Shares requested by
Purchaser to be registered thereby. Such registration shall be on terms
customarily agreed to for such registration rights, and at the request of either
party the parties hereto shall enter into a more detailed agreement setting
forth the registration rights of Purchaser hereunder.
4.2 Registration and Listing.
--------------------------
(a) In the event the Company determines, in its sole
discretion, to register a public offering of its securities under the Securities
Act, or in the alternative, grants registration and related rights to another
shareholder without registering a public offering, the Company shall provide the
Purchaser registration and related rights with respect to the Shares and the
Warrant Shares which shall include reasonable and customary indemnification,
filing delay agreements, agreement not to sell, underwriting and the like, on
terms as favorable to the Purchaser as are granted to any current or future
stockholder of the Company and in connection therewith the Purchaser and the
Company shall agree to such other registration rights as are reasonable and
customary, including indemnification, filing delay provisions, agreement not to
sell, underwriting arrangements and the like. The rights of the Purchaser under
this Section 4.2(a) shall inure to the benefit of the transferee in the case of
a transfer to an affiliate or to a transferee of Shares and/or Warrants
representing at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Common Stock (including
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants) purchased hereunder. The
registration obligations of the Company shall terminate five (5) years after the
date hereof.
(b) If any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable
hereunder (the "Registrable Shares") require registration with or approval of
-------------------
any governmental authority under any federal or state or other applicable law
before such Common Stock may be issued or delivered, WWAT will in good faith and
as expeditiously as possible endeavor to cause such Common Stock to be duly
registered or approved, as the case may be, unless such registration or approval
is required solely because of a breach of a Purchaser's representation contained
in Article 3. So long as the Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board,
NASDAQ or listed on any national securities exchange, WWAT will, if permitted by
the rules of such system or exchange, quote or list and keep quoted or listed on
such system or exchange all Common Stock issued or issuable hereunder.
4.3 REPORTS UNDER SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934.
---------------------------------------------
With a view to making available to the holders the benefits of Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the
Commission that may at any time permit a holder to sell securities of the
Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration
statement on Form S-3, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts
to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as required
by Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act;
(b) file with the Securities and Exchange Commission in a
timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the
Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 0000 (xxx "Xxxxxxxx Xxx"); and
------------
(c) furnish to any holder, so long as the holder owns any
Registrable Shares, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the
Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act, or that it qualifies as a registrant whose
securities may be resold pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3, (ii)
a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such
other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other
information as may be reasonably requested in availing any holder of any rule or
regulation of the Commission which permits the selling of any such securities
without registration or pursuant to such form.
The rights of the Purchaser under this Section 4.3 shall inure to the benefit of
the transferee in the case of a transfer to an affiliate or to a transferee of
Shares and/or Warrants representing at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the
Common Stock (including Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants)
purchased hereunder. The obligations of the Company under this Section 4.3
shall terminate five (5) years after the date hereof.
4.4 RESERVATION OF SHARES. Subject to Section 1(d) of the
---------------------
Warrant, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issue or delivery upon
exercise of the Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall then be
issuable or deliverable upon the exercise of all Warrants. Such shares of
Common Stock shall, when issued or delivered in accordance with the terms of the
Warrants, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable.
5. Indemnification.
---------------
5.1 Indemnification by WWAT. In addition to all other sums due
--------------------------
hereunder or provided for in this Agreement, WWAT agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Purchaser and its respective "Affiliates" (as defined in Rule 12b-2
of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act) and their
respective officers, directors, agents, representatives, employees,
subsidiaries, partners and controlling persons (each, an "indemnified party")
-----------------
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses (including
reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) or other
liabilities ("Liabilities") resulting from any breach of any covenant,
-----------
agreement, representation or warranty of WWAT in this Agreement; provided,
however, that WWAT shall not be liable under this Section 5.1: (a) for any
amount paid in settlement of claims without WWAT's consent (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld) or (b) to the extent that it is finally judicially
determined that such Liabilities resulted primarily from the willful misconduct
or bad faith of such indemnified party; provided, further, that if and to the
-----------------
extent that such indemnification is held, by final judicial determination to be
unenforceable, in whole or in part, for any reason, WWAT shall make the maximum
contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such indemnified Liability. In
connection with the obligation of WWAT to indemnify for expenses as set forth
above, WWAT further agrees to reimburse each indemnified party for all such
expenses (including reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel)
as they are incurred by such indemnified party; provided, however, that if an
--------- -------
indemnified party is reimbursed hereunder for any expenses, such reimbursement
of expenses shall be refunded to the extent it is finally judicially determined
that the Liabilities in question resulted primarily from the willful misconduct
or bad faith of such indemnified party.
5.2 Notification; Procedure. Each indemnified party under Section
-----------------------
5.1 will, promptly after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any action
or other proceeding against such indemnified party in respect of which indemnity
may be sought from WWAT under Section 5.1, notify WWAT in writing of the
commencement thereof. The omission of any indemnified party so to notify WWAT
of any such action shall not relieve WWAT from any liability which it may have
to such indemnified party (i) other than pursuant to Section 5.1 or (ii) under
Section 5.1 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in WWAT's
forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses. In case any such action or other
proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify
WWAT of the commencement thereof, WWAT shall be entitled to participate therein
and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that any
-----------------
indemnified party may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to
participate in such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any action or
proceeding in which both WWAT and an indemnified party is, or is reasonably
likely to become, a party, such indemnified party shall have the right to employ
separate counsel at WWAT's expense and to control its own defense of such action
or proceeding if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to such indemnified
party, (a) there are or may be legal defenses available to such indemnified
party or to other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to
those available to WWAT or (b) any conflict or potential conflict exists between
WWAT and such indemnified party that would make such separate representation
advisable; provided, however, that in no event shall WWAT be required to pay
-------- -------
fees and expenses under this sentence of Section 5.1 for more than one firm of
attorneys in any jurisdiction in any one legal action or group of related legal
actions. The Company agrees that WWAT will not, without the prior written
consent of the Purchaser, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any
judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to
the matters contemplated hereby (if any indemnified party is a party thereto or
has been actually threatened to be made a party thereto) unless such settlement,
compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Purchaser and
each other indemnified party from all liability arising or that may arise out of
such claim, action or proceeding. No such settlement shall impose any
restriction on the future conduct of any indemnified party without such party's
consent, which may be withheld in such party's discretion. The rights accorded
to indemnified parties hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that any
indemnified party may have at common law, by separate agreement or otherwise.
6. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations,
----------------------------------------------
warranties and agreements made by WWAT and Purchaser in this Agreement or in any
certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the
Closing and any investigation and discovery by WWAT or by Purchaser, as the case
may be, made at any time with respect thereto; provided, however, that, other
-------- -------
than with respect to Section 2.7 (for which there shall be no time limit),
neither Purchaser nor WWAT shall have any liability to the other for any
misrepresentation, inaccuracy or omission in any representation or warranty, or
any breach of any representation or warranty, unless the party asserting a claim
with respect to any thereof gives to the other written notice of such claim on
or before the date which is two years following the Closing Date.

-----------------

hereby.

--------------

7.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more

together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
7.4 Severability. The invalidity of any portion hereof shall not
------------
affect the validity, force, or effect of the remaining portions hereof. If it
is ever held that any restriction hereunder is too broad to permit enforcement
of such restriction to its fullest extent, the parties agree that a court of
competent jurisdiction may enforce such restriction to the maximum extent
permitted by law against those for whom it may be enforceable, and each party
hereby consents and agrees that such scope may be judicially modified
accordingly in any proceeding brought to enforce such restriction.
7.5 Further Assurances. The parties hereto shall, without

asserted liability) for which Purchaser or any of its trustees, employees or
representatives is responsible. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold
