Investor agrees to make a loan (the “Loan”) to the Company in the aggregate
principal amount of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) to be governed by the
terms and conditions of, and repaid in accordance with, this Agreement;
provided, however, that the Company’s board of directors may increase this
amount at its sole discretion. Subject to Section 4, in order to secure
repayment of the Loan, the Company shall grant a security interest to the
Investor in the Debentures pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Pledge
Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D.
     1.2 The Notes. The Loan made by the Investor pursuant hereto shall be
evidenced by promissory note (collectively, the “Notes”) of the Company executed
concurrently herewith in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
     1.3 The Warrants. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall
issue and sell to the Investor a warrant to purchase four hundred twenty five
thousand (425,00) shares of the Common Stock of the Company (individually, a
“Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”), in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B. In the event of subsequent Closings as provided in
Section 1.4, subject to the terms of this Agreement, in connection with each
subsequent Loan evidenced by a Note, the Company shall issue and sell to the
Investor a warrant to purchase fourteen thousand one hundred sixty six (14,166)
shares of the Common Stock of the Company for each one hundred thousand dollars
($10,000) in principal amount of such Note. The Company will also enter into a
Registration Rights Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit C providing for “piggyback” registration rights for the Warrants and the
underlying shares of Common Stock.
     1.4 Closings. The purchase and sale of the Notes (each a “Closing”) will
take place at the offices of Seyfarth Shaw LLP, 815 Connecticut Avenue, N.W.,
Suite 500, Washington, D.C. at such time as the parties shall mutually agree.
The Company may sell additional Notes, with a principal amount of $10,000 or any
multiple thereof until December 31, 2007, to such persons as the Company may
determine. Any such sale shall be upon the same terms and conditions as those
contained herein, and such persons or entities shall become parties to this
Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of an Investor hereunder.
     1.5 Delivery. At the Closing, the Company will deliver to each Investor a
Note, the original principal amount of which shall be in such amounts as are
indicated next to each Investor’s name on Schedule A attached hereto, a Warrant.
     1.6 Extension of Demand Date. At the Company’s election, the Demand Date

extend the Demand Date

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

 

as provided herein, the Company shall provide notice to the Investor and shall
provide each Investor with an additional Warrant under the same terms and
conditions, and in the same amount, as each Investor’s initial Warrant.
     1.7 Right of First Offer. If, within one hundred twenty (120) days after
execution hereof, the Company seeks to borrow additional funds, it shall notify
Investor in writing. Investor shall have two (2) business days within which to
offer in writing to lend to the Company the lesser of (i) the first one million
dollars ($1,000,000) of additional funds sought by the Company or (ii) the
entire amount of additional funds sought by the Company, upon the same terms and
conditions as are contained herein. If Investor makes such an offer within the
two (2) business day period, closing on such Loan shall take place within two
(2) business days after such offer is made. Time is of the essence for purposes
of this paragraph. If the Company seeks less than one million dollars within the
time set forth in the first sentence hereof, Investor shall have the right, in
accordance with this paragraph, to lend to the Company up to a cumulative total
of one million dollars. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if Investor
declines to offer to lend funds to the Company in accordance with this
paragraph, or if Investor fails to make such offer timely, it shall have no
further rights hereunder and the Company may borrower such amounts on such terms
as it deems appropriate from any other person.

Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company,
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar
laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights and remedies

applicable regulations, such securities may be resold without registration under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), only in certain
limited circumstances. In this connection, the Investor is familiar with

opinion of counsel shall be required for any transfer of any Securities (i) in

will or intestate succession by such holder to his or her spouse or lineal
descendants or ancestors or any trust for any of the foregoing; provided that in
each of the foregoing cases the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to
the terms of this Agreement. In addition, if the holder of any Securities
delivers to the Company an unqualified opinion of counsel that no subsequent
transfer of such Securities shall require registration under the Securities Act,
the Company shall, upon such contemplated transfer, promptly deliver new
documents/certificates for such Securities that do not bear the legend set forth
in Section 3.9(a) hereof. The Company shall bear the cost of such opinion of
counsel up to a maximum of $1500.
