extensions for which the Company has timely filed) with the Commission all
reports, schedules, registration statements and definitive proxy statements that
the Company was required to file with the Commission on or after December 31,
2003 (collectively, the "SEC Documents"). The Company is not aware of any event
occurring or expected to occur on or prior to the Initial Closing Date (other
than the transactions effected hereby) that would require the filing of, or with
respect to which the Company intends to file, a Current Report on Form 8-K after

promulgated thereunder and, as of the date of such filing (or if amended or
superseded by a filing prior to the Execution Date, then on the date of such
amending or superseding filing), such SEC Document (including all exhibits and
schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein) did not
contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Except as
described on Schedule II, all documents required to be filed as exhibits to the
SEC Documents have been filed as required. Except as set forth on Schedule II,
the Company has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than liabilities
incurred in the ordinary course of business which, under GAAP, are not required
to be reflected in the financial statements included in the SEC Documents and
which, individually or in the aggregate, are not material to the consolidated
business or financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole. The financial statements included in the SEC Documents complied as to
form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the
published rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto. The
financial statements included in the SEC Documents have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied at the times and during the periods
involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements
or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to
the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements)
and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the
Company as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows
for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to
normal year-end adjustments).

12
(a) Exhibit III contains a true and correct list of all Capital Stock and

(including the amounts thereof) outstanding immediately prior to the Initial
Closing, and the holders of any interest in such Capital Stock and securities.
Upon the Initial Closing, the Company's authorized Capital Stock will consist of

(ii) 40,000,000 of preferred stock, of which 1,500,000 shall be shares of Series
B Preferred Stock, of $0.001 par value each, of which upon the Initial Closing,
500,000 will be issued and outstanding. Upon consummation of the Initial
Closing, all issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the Company will
have been duly authorized and validly issued, will be fully paid and
nonassessable, will be owned of record and to the knowledge of the Company
beneficially by the shareholders and in the amounts set forth in Exhibit III
and, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Purchaser in
Section 5 of this Agreement, will have been offered, issued, sold and delivered
by the Company in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.
Except as set forth in Schedule II, immediately prior to the Initial Closing
there were, and upon the Initial Closing there will be, no preemptive or similar
rights to purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Capital Stock of the Company
pursuant to any provision of law, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
Certificate of Designations or Bylaws of the Company, or any agreement to which
the Company is a party, or to the Company's knowledge otherwise; there was, and
upon the Initial Closing there will be, no agreement, restriction or encumbrance
to which the Company is a party with respect to the sale or voting of any shares
of the Company's Capital Stock (whether outstanding or issuable upon conversion
or exercise or outstanding securities), except as contemplated by this
Agreement, the Amended Certificate and the Investment Documents. To the
Company's knowledge, no holder of Common Stock has granted any option or other
right to purchase from such shareholder any interest in any share of Common
Stock. The Company does not hold any shares of its Capital Stock in its
treasury.
(b) The Company has reserved 60,000,000 shares of Common Stock for
issuance to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company
pursuant to its 2005 Stock Incentive Plan duly adopted by the Board of Directors
and approved by the Company stockholders (the "Stock Plan"). Of such reserved
shares of Common Stock, except as set forth in Schedule II, no shares have been
issued pursuant to restricted stock purchase agreements, no options to purchase
any shares have been granted and are currently outstanding, and 60,000,000
shares of Common Stock remain available for issuance to officers, directors,
employees and consultants pursuant to the Stock Plan.
4.7. Contracts.
(a) Schedule II sets forth a true and correct list of all Material
Contracts.
(b) A copy of each of the Material Contracts has been made available to
Purchaser. No event has occurred and no condition exists which with notice or
the passage of time or both would constitute a material default under any such
Material Contract. To the Company's knowledge, no party to any such Material
Contract has threatened to terminate or has any intentions of terminating its
obligations thereunder.
4.8. Financial Information/Taxes.
13
(a) The financial condition of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries
is, in all material respects, as described in the Disclosure Documents, except
for changes in the ordinary course of business and normal year-end adjustments
that are not, in the aggregate, materially adverse to the consolidated business
or financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.
Except as otherwise described on Schedule II, since October 31st, 2005, there
has occurred no (i) material adverse change to the Company's business,
operations, properties, financial condition, or results of operations or (ii)
change by the Company in its accounting principles, policies and methods except
as required by changes in GAAP or applicable law.
(b) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) have prepared in good

to be filed by it and such returns are complete and accurate in all material
respects and (ii) have paid all taxes required to have been paid by it, except
for taxes which it reasonably disputes in good faith or the failure of which to
pay has not had or would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any liability with
respect to accrued taxes in excess of the amounts that are described as accrued
in the Disclosure Documents.
(c) Except as described on Schedule II, neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries is the subject of any pending or, to the Company's knowledge,
threatened inquiry, investigation or administrative or legal proceeding by the
Internal Revenue Service, the taxing authorities of any state or local

Governmental Authority. (d) There are no Liens on the assets of the Company for

payable.
(e) The Company has established adequate reserves for all taxes accrued

method which affects any taxable year ending after the Closing Date, or has any

not obligated to make any payments and is not a party to any agreement that
could make it obligated to make payments, which will not be deductible under

(g) Consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the
Investment Documents or by any other agreement, understanding or commitment
(contingent or otherwise) to which the Company is a party or by which it is
otherwise bound will not have the effect of limiting the Company's ability to
use any net operating losses in full to offset any taxable income it may have.
(h) Except as may be disclosed in the Disclosure Documents, the Company is
not a guarantor or indemnitor of any indebtedness of any other Person.
14

or may be subject, whether at law or in equity, whether civil or criminal in
nature or whether before or by any federal, state, municipal or other
governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality,

for any such actions, suits, claims, investigations or legal or administrative
or arbitration proceedings, in which an unfavorable outcome, ruling or finding
in any such matter or for more than one of such matters, taken together, could
be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has no

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no orders, judgments, or
decrees of any court or governmental agency, which, to the best knowledge of the
Company, apply to it.

than $5,000 per year. The Company and its Subsidiaries enjoy peaceful and
undisturbed possession under all such leases, all of such leases are valid and
subsisting and, to the Company's knowledge, none of them are in default in any
respect, and to the Company's knowledge no event has occurred and no condition
exists which with notice or the passage of time or both would constitute such a
default.
4.13. Acknowledgement of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the
issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant may result in
dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be
substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges

the Warrant is unconditional regardless of the effect of any such dilution.
4.14. Intellectual Property.

the Company Intellectual Property, except as would not have a Material Adverse
Effect.

provide any consideration (whether financial or otherwise) to any Person, nor is
any Person otherwise entitled to any consideration, with respect to any exercise
of rights by the Company in the Company Intellectual Property.

currently used and as currently proposed to be used does not, to the knowledge
of the Company, infringe any other Person's patent, trademark, service xxxx,
trade name, firm name, logo, trade dress, mask work, copyright, trade secret
rights, right of privacy, right in personal data, moral right or other
intellectual property right. No claims (i) challenging the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or ownership by the Company of any of the Company
Intellectual Property or (ii) to the effect that the use, reproduction,

infringes or will infringe on any intellectual property or other proprietary or
personal right of any Person have been asserted against the Company or, to the
Company's knowledge, are threatened by any Person nor, to the Company's
knowledge, does there exist any valid basis for such a claim. There are no legal
or governmental proceedings, including interference, re-examination, reissue,
opposition, nullity, or cancellation proceedings pending that relate to any of
the Company Intellectual Property, other than review of pending patent
applications, and the Company is not aware of any information indicating that
such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by any governmental entity or
any other Person. None of the Company's (1) granted or issued patents, (2)
registered trademarks or service marks, or (3) copyright registrations have been
challenged by any third party, and each such patent, mask work, trademark,
service xxxx and copyright is subsisting. To the Company's knowledge, there is
no unauthorized use, infringement, or misappropriation of any of Company
Intellectual Property by any third party, employee or former employee.
(f) All personnel, including employees, agents, consultants, and
contractors, who have contributed to or participated in the conception and
development of any of the Company Intellectual Property either (i) have been

(ii) Intellectual Property, which, in any case, are owned, possessed or used by
any Related Party (other than Purchaser) or which any Related Party (other than

be usable now or in the future for the conduct of the Company's business as now
conducted or as planned to be conducted, have been duly and validly transferred
in full to the Company. The documents and instruments evidencing such transfer

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

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

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).

the Warrant hereunder, and based thereon Purchaser believes it can make an
informed decision with respect to its investment in the Preferred Shares and the

registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any state, and may not
be offered or sold unless a registration statement under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws shall have
become effective with regard thereto, or an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws is available in connection with such offer or sale.
Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to compliance with the
requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws, these securities and the securities issuable upon exercise
hereof may be pledged or hypothecated in connection with a bona fide
margin account or other loan secured by such securities."

documentation in connection therewith, or (C) such Preferred Shares and Warrant
are eligible for resale under Rule 144(k) or any successor provision and the
holder thereof represents in writing that it is not an affiliate of the Company
and is eligible to use such rule for public resales of such securities, the
certificates representing Preferred Shares and Warrant shall be issued without
any legend or other restrictive language and, with respect to Preferred Shares
and Warrant upon which such legend is stamped, the Company shall issue new
certificates without such legend to the holder upon request.
5.6. Reliance on Exemptions. Purchaser understands that the Preferred
Shares and the Warrant are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon
specific exemptions from the registration requirements of federal and state
securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of
the representations and warranties of Purchaser set forth in this Section 5 in
order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of
Purchaser to acquire the Preferred Shares and the Warrant.

(a) Purchaser understands and agrees that the Preferred Shares and the
Warrant are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 that can and
will only be resold by Purchaser pursuant to (i) an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act where the prospectus delivery requirements
are complied with or (ii) under an applicable exemption from registration under
the Act, and in compliance with applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws.
28
(b) Purchaser understands that any sales by Purchaser of any of the

the Warrant in a transaction that complies in all material respects with

Securities of the legend set forth in Section 5.5 hereof upon effectiveness of a
registration statement covering the Preferred Shares, the Warrant or the Warrant
Shares, such securities will remain "restricted securities" until they have been
sold pursuant to (x) an effective registration statement or (y) Rule 144, and
Purchaser will remain responsible for compliance with applicable federal and
state securities laws in connection with any resale by Purchaser of the
Preferred Shares or the Warrant.
5.8. Address. Purchaser hereby represents that the address furnished by it
on Schedule I of this Agreement is the undersigned's principal business.

the amount of any existing line of credit or other Debt facility beyond the
amount outstanding on the date hereof, other than Permitted Debt, and (b) from
granting, establishing or maintaining any Lien on any of its assets, including
without limitation any pledge of securities owned or held by it (including

interest in such transaction.
6.9. Use of Purchaser's Name. Except as may be required by applicable law
and/or this Agreement, the Company shall not use, directly or indirectly,

received the prior written consent of Purchaser for the specific use
contemplated or as otherwise required by applicable law or regulation.

Company of a notice to exercise by a holder of the Warrant , the Company shall
execute and deliver irrevocable written instructions to the transfer agent for
its Common Stock (the "Transfer Agent"), and provide Purchaser with a copy
thereof, directing the Transfer Agent (i) to issue certificates representing
Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant and (ii) to deliver such
certificates to Purchaser no later than the close of business on the third (3rd)
Business Day following the related Exercise Date (as defined in the Warrant).
Such certificates shall bear only such legends as are required pursuant to
Section 5.4 hereof or applicable law. The Company shall instruct the transfer
agent that, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing shares of
Common Stock to Purchaser upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, or exercise
of the Warrant, and as long as the Transfer Agent is a participant in the
Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer program
("FAST"), and Purchaser has not informed the Company that it wishes to receive
physical certificates therefor, and no restrictive legend is required to appear
on any physical certificate if issued, the transfer agent may effect delivery of
the Warrant Shares, by crediting the account of Purchaser or its nominee at DTC
for the number of shares for which delivery is required hereunder within the
time frame specified above for delivery of certificates. The Company represents
to and agrees with Purchaser that it will not give any instruction to the
Transfer Agent that will conflict with the foregoing instruction or otherwise
restrict Purchaser's right to exercise the Warrant or to receive Warrant Shares
upon exercise of the Warrant. In the event that the Company's relationship with
the Transfer Agent should be terminated for any reason, the Company shall use
its best efforts to cause the Transfer Agent to continue acting as transfer
agent pursuant to the terms hereof until such time that a successor transfer
agent is appointed by the Company and receives the instructions described above.
6.11. No Adverse Action. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall refrain,
during the period beginning on the Execution Date and ending on the Termination
Date, from taking any action or entering into any arrangement which in any way
materially and adversely affects the provisions of this Agreement or any other
Investment Document.
6.12. Limitations on Disposition. Purchaser shall not sell, transfer,
assign or dispose of any Securities, unless:
(a) either (i) there is then in effect an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such
disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement or (ii) such
securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) or any successor provision; or
(b) Purchaser has notified the Company in writing of any such
disposition, received the Company's written consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such disposition and furnished the Company
with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such
disposition will not require registration of such Securities under the
Securities Act; provided, however, that no such consent or opinion of counsel
will be required (A) if the sale, transfer or assignment complies with federal
and state securities laws and is made to an Affiliate of Purchaser which is also
an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D,
(B) if the sale, transfer or assignment is made pursuant to Rule 144 and
Purchaser provides the Company with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company that the proposed transaction satisfies the requirements of Rule 144 or
(C) in connection with a bona fide pledge or hypothecation of any Securities
under a margin arrangement with a broker-dealer or other financial institution
or the sale of any such Securities by such broker-dealer or other financial
institution following Purchaser's default under such margin arrangement;
provided, in the case of any such transfer or disposition other than as
described in paragraph (a) or clauses (B) or (C) of this paragraph (b), the
transferee of such Securities makes representations to the Company substantially
similar to those made by Purchaser in Section 5 hereof.

limitation on such conversion or exercise), to be listed on the Over-the-Counter
Bulletin Board.

relating to occupational health or safety.

insurance policies on its assets and those of its subsidiaries, by financially
sound and reputable insurers, which are licensed to provide such insurance in
the state in which the assets are located, against loss or damage by fire,
extended coverage and explosion in amounts sufficient to prevent the Company or
any subsidiary from becoming a co-insurer and not in any event less than the

practicable after the Initial Closing, will purchase director's and officer's

Investment Documents or (b) any action instituted against Purchaser, or its
Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of
Purchaser, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the
Investment Documents (unless such action is based upon (i) a breach of
Purchaser's representation, warranties or covenants under the Investment
Documents, (ii) any agreements or understandings Purchaser may have with any
such stockholder, (iii) any violations by Purchaser of state or federal
securities laws or (iv) any conduct by Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross
negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought
against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant
to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in
writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with
counsel of its own choosing that is reasonably acceptable to such Purchaser
Party (and Xxxxx Raysman Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx L.L.P. shall be deemed to be
reasonably acceptable to such Purchaser Party). Any Purchaser Party shall have
the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the
defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of such Purchaser Party except that the Company shall pay the reasonable
fees and expenses of such counsel to the extent that (i) the employment thereof
has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has
failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ
counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such
separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position
of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party or a conflict of
interest that would, under applicable attorney codes of ethics, require the
retention of separate counsel for the Company and such Purchaser Party. The
Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (i) for
any settlement by an Purchaser Party effected without the Company's prior
written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (ii) to
the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is
attributable to such Purchaser Party's fraud, gross negligence, willful
misconduct or malfeasance or to such Purchaser Party's breach of any of the
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by Purchaser in this
Agreement or in the other Investment Documents.

of any stockholder approval provision applicable to the Company or its
securities.

herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon
the Company and Purchaser and each other person who shall become a registered

respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the

10.6. Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right,
power or remedy accruing to any holder of any Securities upon any breach or
default of the Company under this Agreement or any of the other Investment
Documents, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such holder nor shall
it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence
therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor
shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other
breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit,
consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any holder of any
breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any holder
of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement must be made in writing and
shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.
All remedies, either under this Agreement or any of the other Investment
Documents or by law or otherwise afforded to any holder, shall be cumulative and
not alternative; provided, however, that any rights of Purchaser under Section

untruth, inaccuracy or breach (or any facts or circumstances constituting such
untruth, inaccuracy or breach) of any representations, warranties or agreements
of the Company and any of its subsidiaries.
10.7. Fees and Expenses. The Company shall bear its own expenses and legal
fees incurred on its behalf with respect to this Agreement and the transactions

expert or consultant engaged by Purchaser incurred with respect to the
enforcement of any of the Investment Documents or with respect to responding to

the Company wishes to take that is either barred under terms of any Investment
Document or requires the consent of Purchaser therefor.
10.8. Exchanges: Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Certificates. Upon surrender by
Purchaser to the Company of Preferred Shares, Warrant or Warrant Shares
purchased or acquired by Purchaser hereunder, the Company at its expense will
issue in exchange therefor, and deliver to Purchaser, a new certificate or
certificates representing such securities in such denomination or denominations
as may be requested by such party. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the
Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate
representing any Preferred Shares, Warrant or Warrant Shares, and in case of any
such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of any indemnity agreement
satisfactory to the Company, or in case of any such mutilation, upon surrender
and cancellation of such certificate, the Company at its expense will issue and
deliver to such party a new certificate for such Warrant, Warrant Shares or
Preferred Shares in lieu of such lost, stolen or mutilated certificate.
10.9. Indemnification. The Company with respect to the representations,
warranties and agreements made by the Company herein shall indemnify, defend and
hold Purchaser harmless against all liability, loss or damage, together with all
reasonable costs and expenses related thereto (including reasonable legal and
accounting fees and expenses), arising from the untruth, inaccuracy or breach
(or any facts or circumstances constituting such untruth, inaccuracy or breach)
of any such representations, warranties or agreements of the Company and any of
its subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company's indemnity obligation
contained in this Section 10.9 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of
any such liabilities, losses or damages if such settlement is effected without
the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
44
10.10. Remedies.
(a) In case any one or more of the warranties or covenants set forth in
this Agreement shall have been breached by any party or any representation given
by any party shall be untrue in breach of this Agreement, the non-breaching
party may proceed to protect and enforce their rights either by suit in equity
or by action at law, including, but not limited to, an action for damages as a
result of any such breach or an action for specific performance of any such
covenant contained in this Agreement. The non-breaching parties acting pursuant
to this Section 10.10 shall be indemnified against all liability, loss or
damage, together with all reasonable costs and expenses related thereto
(including reasonable legal and accounting fees and expenses) in accordance with
this Section 10.10; provided, however, that the breaching party's indemnity
obligation contained in this Section 10.10 shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any such liabilities, losses or damages if such settlement is
effected without the consent of the breaching party (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld).
(b) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the
commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in either Section 10.9
or Section 10.10 (a), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the
commencement of such action. In case any such action is brought against an
indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and
assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly
notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the
indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof; provided, however, that if any indemnified party shall have reasonably
concluded that there are one or more legal or equitable defenses available to
such indemnified party which actually conflict with those available to the
indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume
the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party and such
indemnifying party shall reimburse such indemnified party and any Person
controlling such indemnified party for that portion of the reasonable fees and
expenses of one counsel retained by the indemnified party which is reasonably
related to the matters covered by the indemnity agreement provided in Section
10.9 and Section 10.10 (a). With the prior written consent of the indemnified
party, the indemnifying party may effect any settlement, compromise or consent
to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding
in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and
indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party,
provided, however, that the indemnifying party may effect any such settlement,
compromise or consent without the consent of the indemnified party if such
settlement, compromise or consent includes: (i) an unconditional release of such
indemnified party from all liability, claims or other damages that are the
subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding; and (ii) does not include a
statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or
on behalf of any indemnified party. If and to the extent that the indemnifying
party conducts, controls or participates in the defense or settlement of any
claim, the indemnified party will give the indemnifying party and its counsel,
during normal business hours, access to the relevant business records and other
materials and information, including copies thereof, and will permit the
indemnifying party and its representatives to consult with the employees,
officers, directors, advisors, representatives of any indemnified party, and
counsel of the indemnified party, all as necessary or advisable in connection
with the defense or settlement of such claim.

(a) Dividends shall accrue and be cumulative on each share of Series B
Preferred Stock from the Initial Issue Date. The holders of Series B Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to receive, before any dividend shall be declared and
paid upon or set aside for any other Capital Stock, dividends payable in cash or
Common Stock of the Corporation, at the option of the Corporation, at the rate
per annum per share equal to four percent (4%) and the Board of Directors shall
declare and cause such dividends to be paid out of funds legally available for
such purpose, and no more, payable in annual payments on the last day of
November in each year (each a "Dividend Payment Date"), unless such day is not a
Business Day, in which case on the next Business Day, commencing on November 30,
2006, to holders of record as they appear on the stock transfer books of the
Corporation on the applicable Record Date. Dividends payable on the Series B
Preferred Stock for all periods, including any period less than a full quarter,
shall be computed on the basis of a 365 or 366 day year, as the case may be, and
paid for the actual number of days elapsed.
(b) Dividends on shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be cumulative
from the Initial Issue Date (whether or not there shall be net profits or assets
of the Corporation legally available for the payment of such dividends), so that
if at any time dividends upon shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall not have
been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for payment thereof set apart, the
amount of the deficiency in such dividends shall be fully paid or dividends in
such amount shall be declared on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and a
sum sufficient for the payment thereof shall be set apart for such payment,
before any dividend shall be declared or paid or any other distribution ordered
or made upon any other Capital Stock and before any sum or sums shall be set
aside for or applied to the purchase, redemption, other retirement or
acquisition of any other Capital Stock. All dividends declared upon the Series B
Preferred Stock shall be declared pro rate per share. All payments due under
this Section 3 to any holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be
made to the nearest cent. So long as there exist any accrued dividends, the
Corporation shall not pay or declare any dividends on or make or set aside any
other distribution on any other Capital Stock.

Section 4. Liquidation Preference Amount.
(a) In the event of any Liquidation, each holder of an outstanding share
of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, and be paid out of the
assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders (in
cash, if available), after payment or provision of payment of all debts and
other liabilities of the Corporation, whether from capital, surplus or earnings,
the Liquidation Preference Amount, plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends on
such share to the date of final distribution to the holder of such share,
regardless of whether declared, and no more, before any payment shall be made or
any assets distributed (i) to the holders of any Capital Stock ranking junior
(either as to dividends or upon Liquidation) to the Series B Preferred Stock, or
(ii) to the holders of any Capital Stock ranking on parity (either as to
dividends or upon Liquidation) with the Series B Preferred Stock, except
distributions made ratably on the Series B Preferred Stock and all other such
parity Stock in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such
Series B Preferred Stock are entitled upon Liquidation.
(b) If, upon any Liquidation of the Corporation, the assets of the
Corporation, or the proceeds thereof, to be distributed to its stockholders
shall be insufficient to pay all the holders of the outstanding shares of the
Series B Preferred Stock the Liquidation Preference Amount of all such
outstanding shares plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends on all such shares
to the date of the final distribution to the holders thereof, then such lesser
amounts shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the outstanding shares
of Series B Preferred Stock based on the amounts they would otherwise be
entitled to receive in such Liquidation were payment to be made in full, and no
distributions shall be made to the holders of any Capital Stock upon such
Liquidation. After payment in full of the Liquidation Preference Amount and any
accumulated and unpaid dividends in respect of the Series B Preferred Stock upon
Liquidation, the holders of such shares in their capacity as such shall not be
entitled to any further right or claim to the remaining assets of the
Corporation.

holder hereof (the "Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below,
to purchase from the Corporation from time to time at or before 5:00 p.m. New

Warrant is subject to adjustment as provided herein.
As used herein the following terms, unless the context otherwise requires,
have the following respective meanings:
(a) The term "Common Stock" includes (i) the Corporation's Common Stock,
with a par value of $0.01 per share, as authorized on the date hereof, (ii) any
other capital stock of any class or classes (however designated) of the
Corporation, authorized on or after such date, the holders of which shall have

(corporate or otherwise) which the Holder at any time shall be entitled to
receive, or shall have received, on the exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of or
in addition to Common Stock, or which at any time shall be issuable or shall
have been issued in exchange for or in replacement of Common Stock or Other
Securities pursuant to Section 5 or otherwise.
60
(d) The term "Warrant Number" shall mean the number of shares of Common
Stock of the Corporation for which this Warrant may be exercised, which
initially is 386,314,860 and is subject to adjustment as provided hereof.
1. Exercise of Warrant.
1.1 Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised at any time and from
time to time, in whole or in part, by the Holder by surrender of this
Warrant, with the form of subscription at the end hereof duly executed by
the Holder, to the Corporation at its principal office, accompanied by
payment, in U.S. dollars, via wire transfer or by certified or official
bank check payable to the order of the Corporation, in the amount obtained
by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock designated by the
Holder in the subscription at the end hereof by the Purchase Price. On any
such partial exercise, the Corporation at its expense will forthwith issue
and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant or Warrants
of like tenor, or by such other means as permitted hereby, in the name of
the Holder or as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable
transfer taxes) may request, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces
thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant or
Warrants may still be exercised.
1.2 Payment by Surrender of Notes. Notwithstanding the payment
provisions of Section 1.1, all or part of the payment due upon exercise of
this Warrant in full or in part may be made by the surrender by the Holder
to the Corporation of any promissory notes or other obligations issued by
the Corporation. All payments hereunder by Holder will first applied to
reduce any unpaid interest that is due on such notes and obligations and
then to reduce the principal amount thereof. Such notes and obligations so
surrendered shall be credited against such payment in an amount equal to
the principal amount thereof plus premium (if any) and accrued interest to
the date of surrender; provided, however, that the Holder may exercise
this Warrant via fax delivery to the Corporation, so long as the original
of the applicable promissory notes are delivered to the Corporation within
three business days thereafter.
1.3 Corporation Acknowledgment. The Corporation will, at the time of
the exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder acknowledge
in writing its continuing obligation to afford to the Holder any rights to
which the Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in
accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. If the Holder shall fail
to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing
obligation of the Corporation to afford to the Holder any such rights.
1.4 Trustee for the Holder. In the event that a bank or trust
company shall have been appointed as trustee for the Holder, such bank or
trust company shall have all the powers and duties of a warrant agent
appointed pursuant to Section 14 and shall accept, in its own name for the
account of the Corporation or such successor person as may be entitled
thereto, all amounts otherwise payable to the Corporation or such
successor, as the case may be, on exercise of this Warrant pursuant to
this Section 1.
61
2. Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. on Exercise. As soon as
practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any
event within ten (10) days thereafter (and three (3) days if the Corporation is
publicly owned at such time), the Corporation at its expense (including the
payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name
of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of
any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, a certificate or certificates for the
number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) to which the Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus, in
lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled,
cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then current market value of one
full share, together with any other stock or other securities and property
(including cash, where applicable) to which the Holder is entitled upon such
exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise. In the event the certificate is not
delivered within the time stated herein, the Corporation shall incur a per diem
penalty equal to fifteen percent (15%) per annum of the fair market amount of
the stock sought to be exercised.
3. Adjustment for Dividends in Other Stock, Property, etc.;
Reclassification, etc. In case at any time or from time to time, the holders of
Common Stock (or Other Securities) in their capacity as such shall have
received, or (on or after the record date fixed for the determination of
shareholders eligible to receive) shall have become entitled to receive, without
payment therefor,
(a) other or additional stock or other securities or property (other
than cash) by way of dividend, or
(b) any cash (excluding cash dividends payable solely out of
earnings or earned surplus of the Corporation), or
(c) other or additional stock or other securities or property
(including cash) by way of spin-off, split-up, reclassification,
recapitalization, combination of shares or similar corporate
rearrangement,
other than additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued as a
stock dividend or in a stock-split, adjustments in respect of which are provided
for in Section 5.3, then and in each such case the Holder, on the exercise
hereof as provided in Section 1, shall be entitled to receive the amount of
stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to
in subdivisions (b) and (c) of this Section 3) which Holder would hold on the
date of such exercise if on the date hereof it had been the holder of record of
the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant
and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the
date of such exercise, retained such shares and all such other or additional
stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to
in subdivisions (b) and (c) of this Section 3) receivable by him as aforesaid
during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such
period by Sections 4 and 5.

from time to time, the Corporation shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b)
consolidate with or merge into any other person, or (c) transfer all or
substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any plan
or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Corporation, then, in each
such case, the Holder, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 at any
time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or
the effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in
lieu of the Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior
to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and
property (including cash) to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such
consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if the
Holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all subject to
further adjustments as provided in Sections 3, 4 and 5. The Corporation hereby
covenants that any purchaser of all or substantially all of the Corporation's
assets must affirmatively assume this Warrant as well.
4.2 Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Corporation
following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets,
the Corporation, prior to such dissolution, shall at its expense deliver or
cause to be delivered the stock and other securities and property (including
cash, where applicable) receivable by Holder after the effective date of such
dissolution pursuant to this Section 4 to the Holder or its designated
representative.
4.3 Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger,
or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this
Section 4, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms
hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other securities and
property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant, after the consummation of
such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of
dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be
binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities, including, in the
case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the
properties or assets of the Corporation, whether or not such person shall have
expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 6.
5. Anti-Dilution Adjustment.
5.1 General. The Warrant Number shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time as hereinafter provided.
5.2 Dividends of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities. In the
event that the Corporation shall declare a dividend or make any other
distribution upon any stock of the Corporation payable in Common Stock, Options
or Convertible Securities, any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities,
as the case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution shall
be deemed to have been issued or sold without consideration; provided, however,
that this Section 5.2 shall not apply to a stock split of the Common Stock
payable in the form of a dividend, for which event adjustment shall be made
pursuant to Section 5.3.
63
5.3 Stock Splits and Reverse Splits. In the event that the Corporation
shall at any time either subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
greater number of shares or effect a stock split of its Common Stock payable in
the form of a dividend, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the Warrant Number purchasable
pursuant to this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision shall be
proportionately increased, and conversely, in the event that the outstanding
shares of Common Stock of the Corporation shall at any time be combined into a
smaller number of shares, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Number in effect
immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately reduced. Except
as provided in this subsection 5.3 no adjustment in the Purchase Price and no
change in the Warrant Number shall be made under this Section 5 as a result of
or by reason of any such subdivision or combination.
5.4 Record Date as Date of Issue or Sale. In the event that at any time
the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the
purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution
payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, or (ii) to subscribe
for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such
record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of
Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such
dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of
such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
5.5 Treasury Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at
any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of
the Corporation, and the disposition of any such shares (other than their
cancellation without reissuance) shall be considered an issue or sale of Common
Stock for the purposes of this Section 5.
6. No Dilution or Impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of
its Restated Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of
Holder against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Corporation (a) will not increase the par value or stated
value of any shares of stock receivable on the exercise of this Warrant above
the amount payable therefor on such exercise, (b) will take all such action as
may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Corporation may validly and
legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of stock on the exercise of
this Warrant from time to time, and (c) will not transfer all or substantially
all of its properties and assets to any other person (corporate or otherwise),
or consolidate with or merge into any other person or permit any such person to
consolidate with or merge into the Corporation (if the Corporation is not the
surviving person), unless such other person shall expressly assume in writing
and become bound by all the terms of this Warrant.
64
7. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or
readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the
exercise of this Warrant, the Corporation will promptly compute such adjustment
or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a
certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail
the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a
statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Corporation for
any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or
deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or
Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Purchase
Price and the Warrant Number in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale
and as adjusted and readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Corporation will
forthwith deliver a copy of such certificate to the Holder of this Warrant, and
will, on the written request at any time of the Holder of this Warrant, furnish
to such Holder a like certificate setting forth the Purchase Price and the
Warrant Number at the time in effect and showing how it was calculated.
8. Notices of Record Date, etc. In the event of:
(a) any taking by the Corporation of a record of the holders of any
class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who
are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right
to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any
class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right,

liquidation or winding-up, and (iii) the amount and character of any stock

Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under

therewith has been declared effective and they have been disposed of pursuant to
such effective registration statement, (ii) they are eligible to be sold or

(iii) they shall have ceased to be outstanding.

holders representing not less than 50% of the Registrable Shares then
outstanding shall in writing state that such holders desire to sell Registrable
Shares in the public securities markets and request the Corporation to effect
the registration under the Securities Act of Registrable Shares, the Corporation
shall promptly use its best efforts to effect the registration under the
Securities Act of the Registrable Shares which the Corporation has been so
requested to register; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be
obligated to effect any registration under the Securities Act except in
accordance with the following provisions:
2.1. the Corporation shall not be obligated to use its best efforts to
file and cause to become effective (i) more than one registration statement
initiated pursuant to this Section 2 in any six-month period, (ii) more than two
registration statements initiated pursuant to this Section 2 on Form S-1
promulgated under the Securities Act or any successor from thereto, (iii) any
registration on Form S-3 (or any comparable or successor form) until the
Corporation has qualified for use thereof, at which time there shall be no limit
on the number of registrations on Form S-3 that the holder may request or (iv)
any registration statements during any period in which any other registration
statement (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 promulgated under the Securities
Act or any successor forms thereto) pursuant to which Primary Shares are to be
or were sold has been filed and not withdrawn or has been declared effective
within the 90 days.
75
2.2. the Corporation may delay the filing or effectiveness of any
registration statement for a period of up to 90 days after the date of a request
for registration pursuant to this Section 2 if at the time of such request (i)
the Corporation is engaged, or has fixed plans to engage within 90 days of the
time of such request, in a firm commitment underwritten public offering of
Primary Shares in which the holders of Registrable Shares may include
Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 3 or (ii) the Corporation reasonably
determines that such registration and offering would interfere with any material
transaction involving the Corporation, as approved by the Board of Directors,
provided, however, that the Corporation may only delay the filing or
effectiveness of a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2(b) for a
total of 120 days after the date of a request for registration pursuant to this
Section 2.
2.3. with respect to any registration pursuant to this Section 2, the
Corporation shall give notice of such registration to the holders of all Other
Shares which are entitled to registration rights and the Corporation may include
in such registration any Primary Shares or Other Shares; provided, however, that
if the managing underwriter advises the Corporation that the inclusion of all
Registrable Shares, Primary Shares and/or Other Shares proposed to be included
in such registration would interfere with the successful marketing (including
pricing) of the Registrable Shares proposed to be included in such registration,
then the number of Registrable Shares, Primary Shares and/or Other Shares
proposed to be included in such registration shall be included in the following
order:
(a) first, the Registrable Shares requested to be included in such
registration (or, if necessary, such Registrable Shares pro rata among the
holders thereof based upon the number of Registrable Shares requested to be
registered by each such holder);
(b) second, the Primary Shares; and
(c) third, the Other Shares which are entitled to registration rights.
2.4. At any time before the registration statement covering Registrable
Shares become effective, the holders of a majority of such shares may request
the Corporation to withdraw or not to file the registration statement. In that
event, if such request of withdrawal shall not have been caused by, or made in
response to, the material adverse effect of an event on the business,
properties, conditions, financial or otherwise, or operations of the
Corporation, the holders shall have used their demand registration right under
this Section 2 and the Corporation shall no longer be obligated to register
Registrable Shares pursuant to the exercise of such registration right pursuant
to this Section 2 unless the remaining holders shall pay to the Corporation the
expenses incurred by the Corporation through the date of such request.
SECTION 3.
PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION
If the Corporation at any time proposes for any reason to register Primary
Shares or Other Shares under the Securities Act (other than on Form S-4 or Form
S-8 promulgated under the Securities Act or any successor forms thereto), it
shall give written notice to the Investor of its intention to register such
Primary Shares or Other Shares at least thirty (30) days before the initial
filing of such registration statement and, upon the written request, delivered
to the Corporation within twenty (20) days after delivery of any such notice by
the Corporation, of the Investor to include in such registration Registrable
Shares (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Shares proposed to
be included in such registration and shall state that the Investors desires to
sell such Registrable Shares in the public securities markets), the Corporation
shall use its best efforts to cause all such Registrable Shares to be included
in such registration on the same terms and conditions as the securities
otherwise being sold in such registration; provided, however, that if the
managing underwriter advises the Corporation that the inclusion of all
Registrable Shares requested to be included in such registration would interfere
with the successful marketing (including pricing) of the Primary Shares or Other
Shares proposed to be registered by the Corporation, then the number of Primary
Shares, Registrable Shares and Other Shares proposed to be included in such
registration shall be included in the following order:
76
3.1. if the Corporation proposes to register Primary Shares, or Primary
Shares and Other Shares:
(a) First, the Primary Shares; and
(b) Second, the Registrable Shares and Other Shares requested to be
included in such registration (or, if necessary, such Registrable Shares and
Other Shares pro rata among the holders thereof based upon the number of shares
of Registrable Shares and Other Shares requested to be registered by each such
holder); or
3.2. if the Corporation proposes to register Other Shares pursuant to a
request for registration by the holders of such Other Shares (other than
pursuant to Section 3 hereof):
(a) First, the Other Shares held by the parties demanding such
registration; and
(b) Second, the Registrable Shares and Other Shares (other than shares
registered pursuant to Section 3(b)(1) hereof) requested to be registered by the
holders hereof (or, if necessary, pro rata among the holders thereof based on
the number of Registrable Shares and Other Shares requested to be registered by
such holders).
SECTION 4.
PREPARATION AND FILING

provisions of this Agreement to use its best efforts to effect the registration
of any Registrable Shares, the Corporation shall as expeditiously as

or until all of such Registrable Shares have been disposed of (if earlier);
77

statement that registers such Registrable Shares, a prospectus relating thereto
or any amendments or supplements relating to such a registration statement or
prospectus, to one counsel selected by the Investors (the "Investor's Counsel"),

to review the registration statement, the prospectus and any amendments or
supplements thereto(it being understood that such ten-business-day period need
not apply to successive drafts of the same document proposed to be filed so long
as such successive drafts are supplied to the Investor's Counsel in advance of
the proposed filing and within a reasonable period of time following the receipt
of any comments by the staff of the Commission by he Corporation);
4.3. 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 for at least a

(if earlier) and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with
respect to the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Shares;
4.4. notify in writing the Investor's Counsel promptly (i) of the receipt
by the Corporation of any notification with respect to any comments by the
Commission with respect to such registration statement or prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto or any request by the Commission for the
amending or supplementing thereof or for additional information with respect
thereto, (ii) of the receipt by the Corporation of any notification with respect
to the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness
of such registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and

purposes;
4.5. use its best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Shares
under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the
Investors reasonably request and do any and all other acts and things which may
be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the Investors to consummate the
disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Shares owned by the
Investors; provided, however, that the Corporation will not be required to
qualify generally to do business, subject itself to general taxation or consent
to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise
be required to do so but for this paragraph (e) or to provide any material
undertaking or make any changes in its By-laws or Certificate of Incorporation
which the Board of Directors determines to be contrary to the best interests of
the Corporation or to modify any of its contractual relationships then existing;
4.6. furnish to the Investor holding such Registrable Shares such number

78
4.8. without limiting subsection (e) above, use its best efforts to cause

business and operations of the Corporation to enable the Investors holding such
Registrable Shares to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Shares;
4.9. notify the Investor holding such Registrable Shares on a timely basis
at any time when a prospectus relating to such Registrable Shares is required to
be delivered under the Securities Act within the appropriate period mentioned in
subparagraph (a) of this Section 4, of the happening of any event as a result of
which the prospectus included 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 and, at the request
of the Investor, prepare and furnish to such Investor a reasonable number of
copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary
so that, as thereafter delivered to the offerees of such shares, such prospectus
shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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;
4.10. subject to the execution of confidentiality agreements in form and
substance satisfactory to the Corporation, make available upon reasonable notice
and during normal business hours, for inspection by the Investor holding such
Registrable Shares, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to

by the Investor or underwriter (collectively, the "Inspectors"), all pertinent
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the
Corporation (collectively, the "Records"), as shall be reasonably necessary to
enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the
Corporation's officers, directors and employees to supply all information
(together with the Records, the "Information") reasonably requested by any such
Inspector in connection with such registration statement. Any of the Information
which the Corporation determines in good faith to be confidential and of which
determination the Inspector is so notified, shall not be disclosed by the
Inspectors unless (i) the disclosure of such Information is necessary to avoid
or correct a misstatement or an omission in the registration statement, (ii) the
release of such Information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order
from a court of competent jurisdiction or (iii) such Information has been made
generally available to the public; the Investor agrees that it will, upon
learning that disclosure of such information is sought in a court of competent
jurisdiction, give notice to the Corporation and allow the Corporation, at the
Corporation's expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of
the Information deemed confidential;
4.11. use its best efforts to obtain from its independent certified public
accountants "cold comfort" letters addressed to the Corporation and any selling
Stockholders in customary form and at customary times and covering matters of
the type customarily covered by cold comfort benefits;
79
4.12. use all commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of
any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of the registration
statement and, if such an order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal thereof at
the earliest possible time and to notify the Investor of the issuance of such
order and the resolution thereof;
4.13. furnish to the Investor, on the date that the registration statement
becomes effective, a letter, dated such date, of outside counsel representing
the Corporation (and reasonably acceptable to the Investor) addressed to the
Investor, confirming such effectiveness and, to the knowledge of such counsel,
the absence of any stop order;
4.14. provide a transfer agent and registrar (which may be the same entity
and which may be the Corporation) for such Registrable Shares;
4.15. issue to any underwriter to which the Investor holding such
Registrable Shares may sell shares in such offering certificates evidencing such
Registrable Shares;
4.16. list such Registrable Shares on any national securities exchange on
which any shares of the Common Stock are listed or, if the Common Stock is not
listed on a national securities exchange, use its best efforts to qualify such
Registrable Shares for inclusion on the automated quotation system of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"), or such other
national securities exchange as the holders of a majority of such Registrable
Shares shall reasonably request;
4.17. hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information
concerning the Investor provided to the Corporation if at the time such
information is provided the Corporation is notified of the confidential nature
of such information unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to
comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such
information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any
registration statement that includes the Investor's Registrable Shares, (iii)
the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order
from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, (iv) such
information has been made generally available to the public other than by
disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement, or (v) the Investor
consents to the form and content of any such disclosure. The Corporation shall,
upon learning that disclosure of any information concerning the Investor is
sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or
through other means, give prompt notice to the Investor prior to making such
disclosure, and cooperate with the Investor in taking appropriate action to
prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information;
4.18. otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules
and regulations of the Commission and make available to its security holders, as
soon as reasonably practicable, earnings statements (which need not be audited)
covering a period of twelve (12) months beginning within three months after the
effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statements shall
satisfy the provisions of Section 11 (a) of the Securities Act; and
4.19. subject to all the other provisions of this Agreement, use its best
efforts to take all other steps accessory to effect the registration of such
Registrable Shares contemplated hereby.
80
Each holder of the Registrable Shares, upon receipt of any notice from the
Corporation of any event of the kind described in Section 5(i) hereof, shall
forthwith discontinue disposition of the Registrable Shares pursuant to the
registration statement covering such Registrable Shares until such holders'
receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by
Section 5(i) hereof, and, if so directed by the Corporation, such holder shall
deliver to the Corporation all copies, other than permanent file copies then in
such holder's possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Shares at
the time of receipt of such notice.
SECTION 5.
EXPENSES
All expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions relating
to the Registrable Shares, as provided in the last sentence of this Section 5)
incurred by the Corporation in complying with Section 4, including, without
limitation, all registration and filing fees (including all expenses incident to
filing with the NASD), fees and expenses of complying with securities and blue
sky laws, printing expenses, fees and expenses of the Corporation's counsel and
accountants, and reasonable fees and expenses of the Investors' Counsel, shall
be paid by the Corporation; provided, however, that all underwriting discounts
and selling commissions applicable to the Registrable Shares and Other Shares

in proportion to the number of Registrable Shares and Other Shares sold by each
such holder.
SECTION 6.
INDEMNIFICATION
6.1. In connection with any registration of any Registrable Shares under
the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Corporation shall indemnify
and hold harmless the holders of Registrable Shares, each underwriter, broker or
any other person acting on behalf of the holders of Registrable Shares and each
other person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing persons within the
meaning of the Securities Act against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several (or actions in respect thereof), to which any of
the foregoing persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or allegedly untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement under which
such Registrable Shares were registered under the Securities Act, any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or otherwise filed
with the Commission, any amendment or supplement thereto or any document
incident to registration or qualification of any Registrable Shares, 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 or, with respect to any prospectus, necessary to make the
statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made not
misleading, or any violation by the Corporation of the Securities Act or state
securities or blue sky laws applicable to the Corporation and relating to action
or inaction required of the Corporation in connection with such registration or
qualification under such state securities or blue sky laws; and shall reimburse
the holders of Registrable Shares, such underwriter, such broker or such other
person acting on behalf of the holders of Registrable Shares and each such
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of
them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be liable
in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action (including any legal or other expenses incurred) arises out of or is
based upon an untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission made in said registration statement, preliminary prospectus,
final prospectus, amendment supplement or document incident to registration or
qualification of any Registrable Shares in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Corporation through an instrument duly
executed by the holders of Registrable Shares or their counsel or underwriter
specifically for use in the preparation thereof; provided further, however, that
the foregoing indemnity agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as
it relates to any untrue statement, omission or alleged omission made in any
preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the final prospectus (filed
pursuant to Rule 424 of the Securities Act), such indemnity agreement shall not
inure to the benefit of the Investor, any underwriter, broker or other person
acting on behalf of holders of the Restricted Shares from whom the person
asserting any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense purchased the Restricted
Shares which are the subject thereof, if a copy of such final prospectus had
been made available to such person and such Investor, underwriter, broker or
other person acting on behalf of holders of the Registrable Shares and such
final prospectus was not delivered to such person with or prior to the written
confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Shares to such person.
81
6.2. In connection with any registration of Registrable Shares under the
Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, each holder of Registrable Shares
shall severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner
and to the same extent as set forth in the preceding paragraph of this Section
6) the Corporation, each director of the Corporation, each officer of the
Corporation who shall sign such registration statement, each underwriter, broker
or other person acting on behalf of the holders of Registrable Shares and each
person who controls any of the foregoing persons within the meaning of the
Securities Act with respect to any statement or omission from such registration
statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or
otherwise filed with the Commission, any amendment or supplement thereto or any
document incident to registration or qualification of any Registrable Shares, if
such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Corporation or such underwriter
specifically for use in connection with the preparation of such registration
statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, amendment, supplement or
document; provided, however, that the maximum amount of liability in respect of
such indemnification shall be limited, in the case of each Seller of Registrable
Shares, to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such Seller
from the sale of Registrable Shares effected pursuant to such registration.
82
6.3. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the
commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in the preceding
paragraphs of this Section 6, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect
thereof is made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter
of the commencement of such action. The failure of any indemnified party to
notify an indemnifying party of any such action shall not (unless such failure
shall have a material adverse effect on the indemnifying party) relieve the
indemnified party on account of this Section 6. In case any such action is
brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to
participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from
the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume
the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any
legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in
connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if any indemnified
party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal or
equitable defenses available to such indemnified party which are additional to
or conflict with those available to the indemnifying party, or that such claim
or litigation involves or could have an effect upon matters beyond the scope of
the indemnity agreement provided in this Section 6, the indemnifying party shall
not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such
indemnified party (but shall have the right to participate therein with counsel
of its choice) and such indemnifying party shall reimburse such indemnified
party and any person controlling such indemnified party for that portion of the
fees and expenses of any counsel retained by the indemnified party which is
reasonably related to the matters covered by the indemnity agreement provided in
this Section 6. If the indemnifying party is not entitled to, or elects not to,
assume the defense of a claim, it will not be obligated to pay the fees and
expenses of more than one counsel with respect to such claim. 6.4. If the
indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss,
claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then the indemnifying
party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall
contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one
hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements
or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified
party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties agree
that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant hereto were
determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method or allocation which
does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to herein. No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution
from any person.
SECTION 7.
EXCHANGE ACT COMPLIANCE
From the Registration Date or such earlier date as a registration
statement filed by the Corporation pursuant to the Exchange Act relating to any
class of the Corporation's securities shall have become effective, the
Corporation shall comply with all of the reporting requirements of the Exchange
Act applicable to it (whether or not it shall be required to do so, but
specifically excluding Section 14 of the Exchange Act if not then applicable to
the Corporation) and shall comply with all other public information reporting
requirements of the Commission which are conditions to the availability of Rule
144 for the sale of the Common Stock. The Corporation shall cooperate with the
Investor in supplying such information as may be necessary for the Investor to
complete and file any information reporting forms presently or hereafter
required by the Commission as a condition to the availability of Rule 144.
83
SECTION 8.
NO CONFLICT OF RIGHTS
The Corporation shall not, after the date hereof, grant any registration
rights which conflict with or impair the registration rights granted hereby. In

to such holders.

Re: Series B Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated
as of December 30, 2005 (the "Purchase Agreement") between
Datametrics Corporation (the "Company") and SG DMTI Capital
LLC (the "Purchaser")
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This opinion is rendered to you in accordance with Section 7.8. of the
Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this
opinion shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Purchase Agreement.
In our capacity as counsel for the Company in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, we have examined originals
or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true
copies of such corporate records of the Company, such certificates, permits and
representations and warranties of governmental authorities, officers of the
Company and others, and other documents as we have deemed necessary for the
purpose of this opinion. Without limiting the foregoing, we have reviewed the
Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, the Company's minute
books, the Purchase Agreement and the other Investment Documents.
In the examination of such documents, we have assumed the genuineness of
all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals and the conformity to the original documents of all documents
submitted to us as certified or photo static copies, and we have relied upon the
aforesaid documents with respect to the accuracy of material factual matters
contained therein. We also have assumed, without verification, for purposes of
this opinion, the due authorization, execution and delivery of each of the
Investment Documents by any party thereto and that the Investment Documents
constitute each of such parties' legal, valid and binding obligations
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability of the same
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other
similar laws affecting creditors rights generally and by the exercise of
judicial discretion in accordance with general principles applicable to
equitable and similar remedies. As to any facts relevant to our opinion, which
were not independently established, we have relied upon the representations of
the Company contained in such documents (including, without limitation, the
Purchase Agreement), certificates of officers of the Company and government
officials and information given to us by officers of the Company. A matter
stated in this opinion to be "to our knowledge" is so stated to reflect the fact
that, while we are aware of no reason to believe that the statement of such
matter is inaccurate based on information that we have as a result of
representing the Company in this matter.
89
On the basis of such examinations and our consideration of such questions
of law as we have deemed relevant in the circumstances and subject to the
limitations, qualifications, exceptions and assumptions set forth herein, we are
of the opinion that:
(i) The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, provided,
however, the Company is delinquent in the filing of its franchise taxes in
the State of Delaware for the years 2003 and 2004 as set forth on Schedule
II of the Purchase Agreement.
(ii) The Company is qualified to do business as a foreign
corporation in each jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(iii) To the best of our knowledge, the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation as filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on April 15,
1987, as amended, has been duly adopted by all necessary corporate action
on the part of the Company, has been duly executed by a duly authorized
officer of the Company and has been duly filed with the Delaware Secretary
of State.
(iv) The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to
own and lease its properties and assets and to carry on its business as
presently conducted.
(v) Subject to the qualifications hereafter set forth in this
opinion, (i) the execution and delivery of the Investment Documents by the
Company and the consummation by it of the Investments contemplated thereby
have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on behalf of
the Company and no further consent or authorization of the Company or its
Board of Directors or stockholders is required for the performance by the
Company of its obligations thereunder, (ii) the Company has all requisite
corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations
under the Investment Documents and to issue (A) the Preferred Shares and
the Warrants pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and (B) the Warrant
Shares, and (iii) each Investment Document has been duly executed and
delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of
the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.
(vi) The Series B Preferred Stock of the Company has the rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions set forth in the Certificate of
Designations. When issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the
Purchase Agreement, the Preferred Shares and Warrants will be duly and
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free of any liens,
encumbrances and preemptive or similar rights contained in the Certificate
of Designations and Bylaws or, in any agreement to which the Company is a
party of which we have knowledge, except as specifically provided in the
Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that the -------- ------- Preferred
Shares (and the Warrant Shares) are subject to restrictions on transfer
under state and/or federal securities laws and as set forth in the
Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. The Reserved
Amount and Warrant Shares have been duly and validly reserved and, when
issued in compliance with the provisions of the Company's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and the Warrants as currently in effect, will
be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
90
(vii) The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the
Investment Documents and the issuance, sale and delivery to the Purchasers
of the Preferred Shares and Warrants in accordance with the terms of the
Purchase Agreement will not violate, conflict with or result in any breach
of (i) any term of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the
Bylaws, (ii) any order of which we have knowledge addressed specifically
to the Company, or any law, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the
Company or its properties or assets or (iii) to out knowledge, any term or
provision of any contract, lease, license or other agreement or instrument
to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.
(viii) To our knowledge, there are no actions, suits, proceedings or
investigations threatened in writing or pending against the Company before
any court or governmental agency.
(ix) In reliance upon the accuracy of the representations and
warranties of the Purchaser made in the Purchase Agreement, the offer and
sale of the Preferred Shares and Warrants in accordance with the terms of
the Purchase Agreement are exempt from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
(x) No consent, approval or authorization of or designation,
declaration or filing with any governmental authority on the part of the
Company is required in connection with the valid execution and delivery of
the Investment Documents, the offer, sale or issuance of the Preferred
Shares or Warrants, or the issuance of the Warrant Shares, except (a) the
filing of a Form D with the Securities Exchange Commission and applicable
state securities authorities and (b) qualification (or taking such action
as may be necessary to secure an exemption from qualification, if
available) under applicable state securities laws.
The foregoing opinions are subject to the following additional
qualifications and exceptions:
A. We express no opinion on the validity, binding effect or
enforceability under any provisions of the Investment Documents (i)
which waive any rights afforded to any party thereto under any
statute or constitutional provision, (ii) which waive broadly or
vaguely stated rights or future rights, or waive certain rights or
defenses to obligations where such waivers are against statutes,
laws or public policy, or (iii) the breach of which a court
concludes is not material or does not adversely affect the
non-breaching party.
91
B. We express no opinion on the enforceability of any provisions in the
Investment Documents relating to consent to jurisdiction or choice
of law.
C. Insofar as the indemnity provisions of the Purchase Agreement may
encompass indemnification with respect to violation of laws,
enforcement thereof may be limited by public policies underlying
such laws.
We are licensed to practice law in the State of New York and do not hold
ourselves out to be experts on, or generally familiar with or qualified to
express a legal opinion on, the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the
States of New York and Delaware, and the federal laws of the United States. In
giving this opinion, we are not passing on any matters of the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the federal laws of the United States and the laws of
the States of New York and Delaware. This opinion is issued as of the date
hereof and is necessarily limited to the laws now in effect and the facts and
circumstances known to us on the date hereof. We are not assuming any obligation
to review or update this opinion should applicable law or the existing facts and
circumstances change.
This opinion is provided by us as counsel to the Company to you for your
exclusive use only and is not to be made available to or relied upon by any
other persons or entities without our prior written consent.
Very truly yours,
92

DATAMETRICS CORPORATION

December 30, 2005
$500,000
Secured Promissory Note
Datametrics Corporation ("Borrower"), for value received, hereby promises
to pay to the order of SG DMTI CAPITAL, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company ("Payee"), the principal sum of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($500,000)
(the "Principal Amount"), together with interest on the unpaid Principal Amount
from the date of this Note to December 31, 2006 (the "Maturity Date"), at a per
annum rate equal to 10 percent (10%), in lawful money of the United States.
SECTION 1. Payment Terms.
(a) Mandatory. The Principal Amount of this Note shall be payable at the
Maturity Date or earlier upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
hereunder. Any and all interest accrued and unpaid thereon shall be
payable in four quarterly installments and for the first time on March 31,
2006 or earlier upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder.
Accrued and unpaid interest shall commence on the date hereof and be
payable upon each quarterly installment and after the Maturity Date until
paid in full (after as well as before judgment), on demand. All payments
by Borrower hereunder shall be applied first to pay any interest that is
due, but unpaid, and then to reduce the Principal Amount.
(b) Optional. This Note can be prepaid, in whole or in part, with the prior
written consent of Payee.
94
(c) No Right to Set-Off or Counterclaim. Each payment by Borrower pursuant to
this Note shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made
in lawful currency of the United States of America and in immediately
available funds.
(d) Waiver of Presentment/Payment of Legal Fees. Borrower (i) waives
presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind in connection with this
Note and (ii) agrees to pay to the holder hereof, on demand, all costs and
expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in
connection with the preparation, enforcement and collection of this Note.
SECTION 2. Interest.
(a) Interest. The Principal Amount shall accrue interest at a rate equal to
ten percent (10 %) per annum.
(b) Calculation and Payment. Interest on the Principal Amount shall be
calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year for
the actual number of days elapsed.
(c) Default Rate of Interest. At the election of Payee, after the occurrence
of an Event of Default and for so long as it continues, the Principal
Amount shall bear interest as set forth in Section 2.A above, plus 8% per
annum.
(d) Excess Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
herein, the aggregate interest, fees and other amounts required to be paid
by Borrower to Payee are hereby expressly limited so that in no
contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of
maturity of the Principal Amount or otherwise, shall the amount paid or
agreed to be paid to Payee hereunder exceed the maximum permissible under
applicable law. If under or from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment
of any provision hereunder at the time of performance of such provision
shall be due, shall involve exceeding the limit permitted by applicable
law, then the Principal Amount shall automatically be reduced to the limit
permitted, and if under or from circumstances whatsoever Payee should ever
receive as interest any amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate,
the amount of such interest that is excessive shall be applied to the
reduction of the Principal Amount and not to the payment of interest. In
the event of a conflict, this provision shall control every other
provision hereunder.
SECTION 3. Representations of Borrower. Borrower hereby represents to
Payee that:
(a) Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has full power and
authority to conduct its business as presently conducted and as proposed
to be conducted by it.
(b) Borrower has the corporate power and capacity to enter into this Note, and
to do all acts and things as are required or contemplated hereunder to be
done, observed and performed by it. Borrower has taken all necessary
corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of
each of this Note.
95
(c) The execution and delivery of this Note and the performance by Borrower of
its obligations hereunder (i) does not and will not contravene, breach or
result in any default under (A) the articles, memorandum of association,
by-laws, constating documents or other organizational documents of
Borrower, or (B) under any mortgage, lease, agreement or other legally
binding instrument, license, permit or applicable law to which Borrower is
a party or by which Borrower or any of its properties or assets may be
bound, (ii) will not oblige Borrower to grant any encumbrance to any
person other than to Payee, and (iii) will not result in or permit the
acceleration of the maturity of any indebtedness, liability or obligation
of Borrower under any mortgage, lease, agreement or other legally binding
instrument of or affecting Borrower.
SECTION 4. Events of Default. Upon the occurrence of any of the following
events (each an "Event of Default"), the entire unpaid principal of this Note,
together with all accrued interest hereon, shall become immediately due and
payable, and Payee shall be entitled to pursue all remedies that Payee may have,
at law or in equity, for the enforcement and collection hereof:
(a) The failure of Borrower to make (i) any payment of all interest due on
this Note on each quarterly installment and (ii) full payment of all
interest and principal due on this Note on the Maturity Date; or
(b) Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, file a
petition in bankruptcy, consent to entry of an order for relief against it
in an involuntary case, be adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt, petition or
apply to any tribunal for the appointment of any receiver, trustee or
similar official for it or a substantial part of its assets, or commence
any proceedings under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law or statute of any
jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect; there shall occur the
appointment of a receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or
similar official of it or a substantial part of Borrower's assets; or
there shall have been filed any such petition or application or any such
proceeding shall have been commenced against Borrower, which remains
undismissed for a period of sixty (60) days or more; Borrower by any act
or omission shall indicate its respective consent to, approval of or
acquiescence in any such petition, application or proceeding or the
appointment of any trustee for it or any substantial part of any of its
respective properties; or
(c) A court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an order or decree under any
bankruptcy law that is for relief against Borrower in an involuntary case,
appoints a receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official of
Borrower, or for any substantial part of Borrower's property, or orders
the liquidation of Borrower; and the order or decree remains unstayed and
in effect for thirty (30) days.
(d) The occurrence of a default in any covenant or agreement or breach of any
representation or warranty under any present or future document,
instrument or agreement between Borrower and Payee which, with respect to
a default of a covenant or agreement, is not cured within the grace period
applicable thereto, if any, or if no grace period is designated and such
default is capable of cure, remains uncured for more than thirty (30) days
following its occurrence.
96
(e) A court of competent jurisdiction shall enter into a judgment, order or
decree against Borrower for an amount of $25,000 or more.
SECTION 5. Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
unpaid Principal Amount and accrued interest thereon shall automatically become
immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of
intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration or other requirements of any kind,
all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
SECTION 6. Amendments and Waivers.
(a) The provisions of this Note may from time to time be amended, modified or
waived, if such amendment, modification or waiver is in writing and
consented to by Borrower and Payee.
(b) No failure or delay on the part of Payee in exercising any power or right
under this Note shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to
or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand
in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by Payee shall,
except as may be otherwise stated in such waiver or approval, be
applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval hereunder
shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to
be granted hereunder.
(c) To the extent that Borrower makes a payment or payments to Payee, and such
payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently for any reason
invalidated, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver
or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common
law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the
obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all
rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force
and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or
setoff had not occurred.
SECTION 7. Miscellaneous.
(a) Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its principles
of conflicts of law. Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the General Obligations
Law of the State of New York shall apply to this Note and Borrower hereby
waives any right to stay or dismiss on the basis of forum non conveniens
any action or proceeding brought before the courts of the State of New
York sitting in New York County or of the United States of America for the
Southern District of New York and hereby submits to the jurisdiction of
such courts.

(b) Sale or Removal of Collateral Prohibited. Except for the sale of inventory
in the ordinary course of the Borrower's business, the Borrower shall not
sell, lease, encumber, pledge, mortgage, assign, grant a security interest
in, or otherwise transfer the Collateral without the written consent of
the Payee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(c) Uniform Commercial Code Security Agreement. This Section is intended to be
a security agreement pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code for any of
the items specified above as part of the Collateral that, under applicable
law, may be subject to a security interest pursuant to the Uniform
Commercial Code, and the Borrower hereby grants the Payee a security
interest in said items. The Borrower agrees that the Payee may file any
appropriate document in the appropriate index as a financing statement for
any of the items specified above as part of the Collateral. In addition,
the Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to the Payee, upon the Payee's
request, any financing statements, as well as extensions, renewals and
amendments thereof, and reproductions of this Note in such form as the
Payee may reasonably require to perfect a security interest with respect
to said items. The Borrower shall pay all costs of filing such financing
statements and any extensions, renewals, amendments, and releases thereof,
and shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of any record searches for
financing statements the Payee may reasonably require. Without the prior
written consent of the Payee, the Borrower shall not create or suffer to
be created pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code any other security
interest in the Collateral, other than the Security Interests of Secured
Party and existing secured creditors. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, the Secured Party shall have the remedies of a holder under the
Uniform Commercial Code and, at Secured Party's option, may also invoke
the other remedies provided in this Note as to such items. In exercising
any of said remedies, the Secured Party may proceed against the items of
real property and any items of personal property specified above as part
of the Collateral separately or together and in any order whatsoever,
without in any way affecting the availability of the Secured Party's
remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code or of the other remedies
provided in this Note.
100
(d) Rights of Secured Party.
(1) Upon an Event of Default, the Secured Party may require the Borrower to
assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at the
place to be designated by the Secured Party that is reasonably convenient
to the parties. The Secured Party may sell all or any part of the
Collateral as a whole or in parcels either by public auction, private
sale, or other method of disposition. The Secured Party may bid at any
public sale on all or any portion of the Collateral. Unless the Collateral
is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of the type
customarily sold on a recognized market, the Secured Party shall give the
Borrower reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale or of
the time after which any private sale or other disposition of the
Collateral is to be made, and notice given at least 10 days before the
time of the sale or other disposition shall be conclusively presumed to be
reasonable.
(2) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the Secured Party shall
be under no obligation to offer to sell the Collateral. In the event the
Secured Party offers to sell the Collateral, the Secured Party will be
under no obligation to consummate a sale of the Collateral if, in their
reasonable business judgment, none of the offers received by them
reasonably approximates the fair value of the Collateral.
(3) In the event the Secured Party elects not to sell the Collateral, the
Secured Party may elect to follow the procedures set forth in the Uniform
Commercial Code for retaining the Collateral in satisfaction of the
Borrower's obligation, subject to the Borrower's rights under such
procedures.
(4) In addition to the rights under this Agreement, in the Event of Default by
the Borrower, the Secured Party shall be entitled to the appointment of a
receiver for the Collateral as a matter of right whether or not the
apparent value of the Collateral exceeds the outstanding principal amount
of the Notes and any receiver appointed may serve without bond. Employment
by the Secured Party shall not disqualify a person from serving as
receiver.
