provisions of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or
other organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and the
Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a
foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of
the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification
necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as

business or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the

be consummated by it by each of the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry
out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of each

transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to be consummated by it have been
duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no
further action is required by the Company, its Board of Directors or its
stockholders in connection therewith other than in connection with the Required

regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary
is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such
as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

any shares of Common Stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings or
arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to

Purchasers) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities
to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such
securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have
been issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws,
and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive

jurisdiction over the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective properties
(collectively, an “Action”) which (i) adversely affects or challenges the
legality, validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents or the
Securities or (ii) would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, and to the knowledge of the

has been the subject of any Action involving a claim of violation of or
liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of
fiduciary duty, with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary, since June 30,

the Company or any current director or officer of the Company. To the knowledge

employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information
agreement or non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or
any restrictive covenant, in each case, where such violation would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and the continued employment of each
such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters that would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its
Subsidiaries are in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign
laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and
conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to be in
compliance would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected

result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
(i) is in default under or in violation of (and no event has occurred that has
not been waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a
default by the Company or any Subsidiary under), nor has the Company or any
Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is
in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other agreement
or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is
bound (whether or not such default or violation has been waived), (ii) is in
violation of any applicable order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body,
or (iii) is or has been in violation of any applicable statute, rule or
regulation of any governmental authority, including without limitation all
foreign, federal, state and local laws applicable to its business and all such
laws that affect the environment.

(m) Regulatory Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all material
certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,
state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their
respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports, except where the failure
to possess such permits would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect (“Material Permits”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or
modification of any Material Permit.

(n) Title to Assets. Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect, the Company and the Subsidiaries have good and
marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them that is
material to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries and good and
marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the
business of the Company and the Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all
Liens, except for Liens as do not materially affect the value of such property
and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of
such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries and Liens for the payment of
federal, state or other taxes, the payment of which is neither delinquent nor
subject to penalties, except for taxes being contested in good faith where an
appropriate reserve has been established. Any real property and facilities held
under lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid,
subsisting and enforceable leases with which the Company and the Subsidiaries
are in compliance, except where the failure of (i) such lease to be valid,
subsisting or enforceable or (ii) the Company or its Subsidiaries to be in
compliance, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

(o) Patents and Trademarks. To the knowledge of the Company, the Company and the
Subsidiaries have, or have adequate rights or licenses to use, all patents,
trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights,
licenses and other intellectual property rights and similar rights necessary or
material for use in connection with their respective businesses as described in
the SEC Reports and which the failure to so have would have a Material Adverse
Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”). Neither the Company
nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that the
Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company or any Subsidiary violates or
infringes upon the rights of any Person. To the knowledge of the Company, all
such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable. The Company and its
Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy,
confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except where
failure to do so would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(p) Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of
recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such
amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the
businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to
renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to
obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue
its business at a cost that would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(q) Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. Except for arm’s length
transactions pursuant to which the Company makes payments in the ordinary course
of business upon terms no less favorable than the Company could obtain from
third parties, none of the officers or directors of the Company and, to the
knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company, is presently a
party to any transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for
services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract,
agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or
by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise
requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the
knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such
employee has a substantial interest or is an executive officer, director,
trustee or partner, in each case in excess of $120,000 other than (i) for
payment of salary or consulting fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement
for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary and (iii) for
other employee benefits, including stock option and restricted stock agreements
under any stock option plan of the Company.

(r) Sarbanes-Oxley; Internal Accounting Controls. The Company is in material
compliance with all provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which are
applicable to it as of the Closing Date. The Company and the Subsidiaries
maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide
reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with
management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with
GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, and (iii) the recorded accountability
for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and
appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company has
established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act
Rule 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and
procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in
the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s
rules and forms. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the
effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end
of the period covered by the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under
the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in
its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions
of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls
and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the
Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) that has
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(s) Certain Fees. Other than as set forth in the Transaction Documents, no
brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company
to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent,
investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Purchasers shall have no
obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on
behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may
be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents.

(t) Private Placement. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers representations
and warranties set forth in the Transaction Documents, no registration under the
Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Securities by the
Company to the Purchasers as contemplated hereby. The issuance and sale of the
Securities hereunder does not contravene the rules and regulations of the
National Association of Securities Dealers’ OTC Bulletin Board.

(u) Investment Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and
immediately after receipt of payment for the Securities, will not be required to
register as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended.

(v) Registration Rights. Other than each of the Purchasers, no Person has any
right to cause the Company to effect the registration under the Securities Act
of any securities of the Company.

(w) Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Company has not, in the twelve
(12) months preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market
on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the
Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of
such Trading Market. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will
not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such
listing and maintenance requirements.

(x) Application of Takeover Protections. Assuming that no Purchaser beneficially
owns shares of Common Stock (other than the Securities), the Company and its
Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render
inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill
(including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar
anti-takeover provision under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (or
similar organizational document) or the laws of its state of incorporation that
is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers
and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under
the Transaction Documents, including without limitation as a result of the
Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the
Securities.

(y) Disclosure. Except with respect to the terms and conditions of the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company confirms
that, neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of
the Purchasers or their agents or counsel with any information that it believes
constitutes material, non-public information. The Company understands and
confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation in
effecting transactions in securities of the Company. The Company acknowledges
and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any representations or warranties
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those
specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.

(z) No Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’
representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2, neither the Company,
nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has,
directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited
any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this
offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company
for purposes of the Securities Act or any applicable shareholder approval
provisions of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company
are listed or designated.

(a) Solvency. The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which
lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the
bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the
Closing Date, other than the Company’s anticipated need for additional
financing. The SEC Reports set forth as of the dates thereof all outstanding
secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for
which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this
Agreement, “Indebtedness” shall mean (a) any liabilities for borrowed money or
amounts owed in excess of $50,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in
the ordinary course of business), (b) all guaranties, endorsements and other
contingent obligations in respect of Indebtedness of others, whether or not the
same are or should be reflected in the Company’s balance sheet (or the notes
thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit
or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and
(c) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under
leases required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP; provided that the
term “Indebtedness shall not include any indebtedness of liabilities to any
Purchaser. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to
any Indebtedness.

(aa) Tax Status. Except for matters that would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, the Company and each Subsidiary has filed all necessary federal, state
and foreign income and franchise tax returns and has paid or accrued all taxes
shown as due thereon, and the Company has no knowledge of a tax deficiency which
has been asserted or threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary, in each
case, except taxes being contested in good faith where an appropriate reserve
has been established.

(b) No General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any person acting on behalf
of the Company has offered or sold any of the Securities by any form of general
solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under
the Securities Act). The Company has offered the Securities for sale only to the
Purchasers and certain other “accredited investors” within the meaning of
Rule 501 under the Securities Act.

(bb) Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Neither the Company, nor to the knowledge of
the Company, any agent or other person acting on behalf of the Company, has
(i) directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions, gifts,
entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic
political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic
government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political
parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any
contribution made by the Company (or made by any person acting on its behalf of
which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law, or (iv) violated in
any material respect any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977,
as amended.

(cc) Accountants. The Company’s accountants are set forth on Schedule 3.1(ee) of
the Disclosure Schedule. To the knowledge of the Company, such accountants, who
the Company expects will express their opinion with respect to the financial
statements to be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ending December 31, 2005, are an independent registered public accounting
firm as required by the Securities Act.

(dd) Acknowledgment Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities. The Company
acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely in the
capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents
and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Company further acknowledges that
no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in
any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the
transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any
of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction
Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental to the
Purchasers’ purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each
Purchaser that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the
transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.

(ee) Acknowledgement Regarding Purchasers’ Trading Activity; No Holding Period
Representation. The Company expressly recognizes and acknowledges that, other
than as set forth in the Transaction Documents, any Shares or Warrant Shares
obtained or acquired by the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement or the
Transaction Documents may be sold or otherwise traded by the Purchasers at any
time, including the date they are acquired, and that the decision to trade such
shares is within the sole discretion of the Purchasers. The Purchasers have made
no contrary representations to the Company with regard to any securities
contemplated by, or obtained or acquired pursuant, to this Agreement or the
Transaction Documents, or concerning or relating to the length of time it
intends to hold any such security obtained or acquired. The Company acknowledges
that, other than as set forth in the Transaction Documents, such aforementioned
trading activities by the Purchasers do not constitute a breach by the
Purchasers of any of the Transaction Documents.

(ff) Manipulation of Price.  The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one
acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed
to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any
security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the
Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or, paid any compensation for
soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay
to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other
securities of the Company, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii),
compensation paid to the Company’s placement agent in connection with the
placement of the Securities.

3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers Each Purchaser hereby, for
itself and for no other Purchaser, represents and warrants as of the date hereof
and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows:

(a) Investment Purpose. Each Purchaser is acquiring the Securities and, upon
exercise of the Warrants, the Purchaser will acquire the Warrant Shares then
issuable, for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards,
or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof,
except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act;
provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Purchaser
reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with
or pursuant to an effective registration statement covering such Securities or
an available exemption under the Securities Act. The Company acknowledges that
this subsection does not require any Purchaser to hold any Securities or Warrant
Shares for any particular length of time and that no Purchaser has made any
representation that it will do so.

(b) Accredited Investor Status. Each Purchaser is an “Accredited Investor” as
that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D.

(c) Reliance on Exemptions. Each Purchaser understands that the Securities are
being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the
registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and
that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such
Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order
to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such
Purchaser to acquire such securities.

(d) Information. Each Purchaser and its advisors (and his or its counsel), if
any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances
and operations of the Company and information he deemed material to making an
informed investment decision regarding his purchase of the Securities which have
been requested by such Purchaser. Each Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have
been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its
management. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations
conducted by such Purchaser or its advisors, if any, or its representatives
shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s
representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1 above. Each Purchaser
understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of
risk. Each Purchaser is in a position regarding the Company, which enabled and
enables such Purchaser to obtain information from the Company in order to
evaluate the merits and risks of this investment. Each Purchaser has sought such
accounting, legal and tax advice, as it has considered necessary to make an
informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.

(e) No Governmental Review. Each Purchaser understands that no United States
federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has
passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities, or the
fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities, nor have such
authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Securities.

(f) Transfer or Resale. Each Purchaser understands that except as provided in
the Registration Rights Agreement: (i) the Securities have not been and are not
being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may
not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently
registered thereunder, or (B) such Purchaser shall have delivered to the Company
an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such
securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or
transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements;
(ii) any sale of such securities made in reliance on Rule 144 under the
Securities Act (or a successor rule thereto) (“Rule 144”) may be made only in
accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not
applicable, any resale of such securities under circumstances in which the
seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an
underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require
compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and
regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other
person is under any obligation to register such securities under the Securities
Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of
any exemption thereunder.

(g) Authorization, Enforcement. This Agreement has been duly and validly
authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Purchaser and is a valid
and binding agreement of such Purchaser enforceable in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of
equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the
enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.

(h) Receipt of Documents. Each Purchaser and his or its counsel has received and
read in their entirety: (i) this Agreement and each representation, warranty and
covenant set forth herein and the Transaction Documents (as defined herein);
(ii) all due diligence and other information necessary to verify the accuracy
and completeness of such representations, warranties and covenants; (iii) the
Company’s Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005; (iv) the
Company’s Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2006, June 30,
2006 and September 30, 2006 and (v) answers to all questions each Purchaser
submitted to the Company regarding an investment in the Company; and each
Purchaser has relied on the information contained therein and has not been
furnished any other documents, literature, memorandum or prospectus.

(i) Due Formation of Corporate and Other Purchasers. If the Purchaser(s) is a
corporation, trust, partnership or other entity that is not an individual
person, it has been formed and validly exists and has not been organized for the
specific purpose of purchasing the Securities and is not prohibited from doing
so.

(j) No Legal Advice From the Company. Each Purchaser acknowledges, that it had
the opportunity to review this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement with his or its own legal counsel and investment and tax
advisors. Each Purchaser is relying solely on such counsel and advisors and not
on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its
representatives or agents for legal, tax or investment advice with respect to
this investment, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the
securities laws of any jurisdiction.

ARTICLE IV.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

4.1 Transfer Restrictions. (a) The Securities may only be disposed of in
compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any
transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration
statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in
connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may
require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel
selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form
and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such
transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer
(other than pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or Rule 144), any
such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this
Agreement and shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement.

(b) The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this
Section 4.1(b), of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE
SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED SOLELY FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND NOT WITH A VIEW
TOWARD RESALE AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN
THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time
pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer
or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial
institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the
Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement
and the Registration Rights Agreement and, if required under the terms of such
arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the
pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to
approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee,
secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no
notice shall be required of such pledge. At the request of any Purchaser, the
Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or
secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge
or transfer of the Securities, including, if the Securities are subject to
registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and
filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the
Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to
appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders thereunder.

(c) Other than certificates representing Shares or Warrant Shares held by
Affiliates of the Company, certificates evidencing the Shares and Warrant Shares
shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b)),
(i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement)
covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act,
(ii) following any sale of such Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144,
(iii) if such Shares or Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k),
or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the
Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by
the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a
legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent promptly after the Effective Date
if required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend
hereunder. If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised by a Purchaser that
is not an Affiliate of the Company (a “Non-Affiliated Purchaser”) at a time when
there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Warrant
Shares, such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company
agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no
longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than three
(3) Trading Days following the delivery by a Non-Affiliated Purchaser to the
Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Shares or
Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend (such third
Trading Day with respect to each outstanding certificate, a “Legend Removal
Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Non-Affiliated Purchaser a
certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other
legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give
instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions
on transfer set forth in this Section. Certificates for Securities subject to
legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the
Company to such Purchasers by crediting the account of such Purchaser’s prime
broker with the Depository Trust Company System. The Purchaser’s acknowledge
that the Company’s agreement hereunder to remove all legends from Shares or
Warrant Shares is not an affirmative statement or representation that such
Shares or Warrant Shares are freely tradeable.

(d) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees
that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing
Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s
reliance that the Purchaser will, and each Purchaser severally and not jointly,
agrees that it will, sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery
requirements, or an exemption therefrom. Each Purchaser severally and not
jointly agrees that if any Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration
Statement, such Securities will be sold in compliance with the plan of
distribution set forth in such Registration Statement.

4.2 Furnishing of Information. As long as any Purchaser owns Securities, the
Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and
file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the
Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. As long as any
Purchaser owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports
pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and
make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is
required for the Purchasers to sell the Securities under Rule 144. The Company
further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of
Securities may reasonably request, to the extent required from time to time to
enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration under the
Securities Act within the requirements of the exemption provided by Rule 144.

4.3 Integration. The Company will not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to
buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2
of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the
Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities
Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers or that would be integrated
with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and
regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder
approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder
approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

4.4 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall, by 4:00 p.m.
Eastern time on the fourth Trading Day following the date hereof, issue a
Current Report on Form 8-K, disclosing the material terms of the transactions
contemplated hereby, and file as exhibits thereto a conformed copy of this
Agreement, the form of Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement. The
Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other
press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither
the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release or otherwise
make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with
respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of
each Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent
shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is
required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the
other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name
of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the
Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written
consent of such Purchaser, except (i) as required by federal securities law in
connection with (A) any registration statement contemplated by the Registration
Rights Agreement and (B) the filing of final Transaction Documents (including
signature pages thereto) with the Commission and (ii) to the extent such
disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the
Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure
permitted under this subclause (ii).

4.5 Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company
or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser is an
“Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination,
poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar
anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company,
or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan
or arrangement, in each case, by virtue of receiving Securities under the
Transaction Documents or under any other present agreement between the Company
and the Purchasers.

4.6 Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and
conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the
Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other Person acting on its
behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information
that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless
prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding
the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and
confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing representations
in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

4.7 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the
Securities hereunder for working capital purposes and not for the satisfaction
of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of trade payables in
the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior practices), to redeem
any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or to settle any outstanding
litigation.

4.8 [RESERVED].

4.9 Indemnification.

(a) In consideration of each Purchaser’s execution and delivery of this
Agreement and acquiring the Securities hereunder, and in addition to all of the
Company’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall defend,
protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser and all of their officers,
directors, employees and agents (including, without limitation, those retained
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement)
(collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) from and against any and all
actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees,
liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of
whether any such Purchaser Indemnitee is a party to the action for which
indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees
and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by the Purchaser
Indemnitees or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to
(a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by
the Company in this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, (b) any
breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in this
Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, or (c) any cause of action, suit
or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee and arising out of or resulting
from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement. To
the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable
for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment
and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities, which is permissible
under applicable law.

(b) In consideration of the Company’s execution and delivery of this Agreement,
and in addition to all of each Purchaser’s other obligations under this
Agreement, each Purchaser shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the
Company and all of its officers, directors, employees and agents (including,
without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”) from
and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or
any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any
misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by each
Purchaser in this Agreement, instrument or document contemplated hereby or
thereby executed by each Purchaser, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or
obligation of a Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any of the Transaction
Documents or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such
Company Indemnitee and arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery,
performance or enforcement of this Agreement, or any of the Transaction
Documents. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by each Purchaser may be
unenforceable for any reason, each Purchaser shall make the maximum contribution
to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities, which is
permissible under applicable law.

4.10 Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has
reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all
times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock
for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Shares pursuant to this
Agreement and Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.

4.11 Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use commercially
reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on a Trading
Market, and as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing (but not
later than the earlier of the Effective Date and the first anniversary of the
Closing Date) to list all of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading
Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common
Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will include in such application
all of the Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is
necessary to cause all of the Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed on such
other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will take all action
commercially reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its
Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the
Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of
the Trading Market.

4.12 [RESERVED].

4.13 Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration shall be offered or paid to
any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of
any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered
to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes,
this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the
Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended to treat
for the Company the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed
as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase,
disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.

4.14 Participation in Future Financing.

(a) From the date hereof until the date that is the eighteen (18) month
anniversary of the date of this Agreement, upon any issuance by the Company of
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (a “Subsequent Financing”), each
Purchaser shall have the right to participate in the Subsequent Financing up to
their Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) up to a total amount equal to the
lesser of (i) 60% of the amount of the Subsequent Financing or (ii) $4,000,000
(the “Participation Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions and price provided
for in the Subsequent Financing. 

(b) At least five (5) Trading Days prior to the closing of the Subsequent
Financing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a written notice of its
intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (the “Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice
shall ask such Purchaser if it wants to review the details of such financing
(such additional notice, a “Subsequent Financing Notice”).  Upon the request of
a Purchaser, and only upon a request by such Purchaser, for a Subsequent
Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no later than one (1) Trading
Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to such
Purchaser.  The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail
the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, including but not limited to,
the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder, and to the extent not
prohibited under the proposed terms of a Subsequent Financing or related
agreements, the Person or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing
is proposed to be effected; and attached to which shall be a term sheet or
similar document relating thereto.   

(c) Any Purchaser desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must
provide written notice to the Company by not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on the 4th Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received the
Pre-Notice that the Purchaser is willing to participate in the Subsequent
Financing, the amount of the Purchaser’s participation, and that the Purchaser
has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set
forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If the Company receives no notice from
a Purchaser as of such 4th Trading Day, such Purchaser shall be deemed to have
notified the Company that it does not elect to participate. 

(d) If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 4th Trading Day after all of the
Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, notifications by the Purchasers of
their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause their
designees to participate) is, in the aggregate, less than the total amount of
the Subsequent Financing, then the Company may effect the remaining portion of
such Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the Persons set forth in the
Subsequent Financing Notice. 

(e) If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 4th Trading Day after all of the
Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, the Company receives responses to a
Subsequent Financing Notice from Purchasers seeking to purchase more than the
aggregate amount of the Participation Maximum, each such Purchaser shall have
the right to purchase the greater of (a) their Pro Rata Portion (as defined
below) of the Participation Maximum and (b) the difference between the
Participation Maximum and the aggregate amount of participation by all other
Purchasers.  “Pro Rata Portion” is the ratio of (x) the Subscription Amount of
Securities purchased on the Closing Date by a Purchaser participating under this
Section 4.14 and (y) the sum of the aggregate Subscription Amounts of Securities
purchased on the Closing Date by all Purchasers participating under this
Section 4.14.

(f) The Company must provide the Purchasers with a second Subsequent Financing
Notice, and the Purchasers will again have the right of participation set forth
above in this Section 4.14, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial
Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on substantially
the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within sixty
(60) Trading Days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.14 shall not apply in respect
of an Exempt Issuance or in respect of any underwritten public offering of the
Company’s securities.

4.15 Subsequent Equity Sales.

(a) From the date hereof until 90 days after the Effective Date (the “Lock-up
Period”), neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue shares of Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to
(A) the issuance of the Securities to be sold hereunder, (B) the issuance of
shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of an option or warrant or the
conversion, exchange or repurchase of a security outstanding on the date hereof,
(C) the issuance of shares of Common Stock or the grant of options to purchase
Common Stock pursuant to existing employee or director benefit plans of the
Company and registrations in connection with such issuances or grants; provided
that with respect to any issuance of shares or grants of options pursuant to
this clause (C), no more than 150,000 of such shares and options to acquire
shares may vest in any month,  (D) issuances of rights, preferred stock or
Common Stock pursuant to any existing rights plan or any shares of Common Stock
issued pursuant to any non-employee director stock plan or dividend reinvestment
plan and registrations in existence at the date of this Agreement in connection
with such issuances or grants, (E) the issuance of shares of Common Stock having
a purchase price, or Common Stock Equivalents having an exercise or conversion
price, no less than the price per share of the Shares sold to Cornell pursuant
hereto, or (F) the issuance of up to 75,000 shares per month of Common Stock or
options to purchase Common Stock granted to consultants to the Company as
compensation for their services to the Company so long as the recipient agrees
to be bound for any remaining portion of the Lock-up Period on the above terms;
provided that in the case of clauses (C), (E) and (F), issuances pursuant to
this sentence shall be permitted in amounts in excess of the number specified in
such clause or at price below that specified in such clause, as the case may be,
if the Company first obtains the written consent of Cornell, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld.

(b) From the date hereof until the earliest of (i) two years after the Closing
Date and (ii) such time as Cornell ceases to own 90% of the total number of
Shares issued as part of the Units pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall
not effect or enter into an agreement to effect any Subsequent Financing
involving a “Variable Rate Transaction.” The term “Variable Rate Transaction”
shall mean a transaction in which the Company issues or sells (i) any debt or
equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or
include the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a
conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or
varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock
at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, or
(B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset
at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security
or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly
related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or
(ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of
credit, whereby the Company may sell securities at a future determined price.
Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company
to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to
collect damages.

4.16 Short Sales and Confidentiality After The Date Hereof. Each Purchaser
severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers covenants that neither it
nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it
will execute any Short Sales during the period commencing on the date the
Purchasers first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any
other person setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated
hereby and ending at the time that the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are first publicly announced as described in Section 4.4. Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that
until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly
disclosed by the Company as described in Section 4.4, such Purchaser will
maintain the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with
this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Each
Purchaser understands and acknowledges, severally and not jointly with any other
Purchaser, that the Commission currently takes the position that coverage of
short sales of shares of the Common Stock “against the box” prior to the
Effective Date of the Registration Statement with the Securities is a violation
of Section 5 of the Securities Act, as set forth in Item 65, Section A, of the
Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations, dated July 1997,
compiled by the Office of Chief Counsel, Division of Corporation Finance.

4.17 Delivery of Securities After Closing. The Company shall deliver, or cause
to be delivered, the Units purchased by each Purchaser to such Purchaser within
three (3) Trading Days of the Closing Date, or such combination of Securities
that, in total, represent identical constituent parts of such Units, as defined
herein (totaling 12,300,000 Shares, 5,175,000 Class A Warrants, and 600,000
Class B Warrants.) As to Cornell, the Company shall satisfy its delivery
obligation with respect to 850,592 of such Shares by delivering to Cornell a
written notification that Cornell shall be entitled to retain possession and
title to all of the 850,592 Shares delivered by the Company to it in connection
with the Original Financing (the “Original Financing Shares”) and such Original
Financing Shares shall offset the Company’s delivery obligations as to Shares on
a one-to-one basis. The Company shall satisfy its obligation to deliver Warrants
by delivering to Cornell the amendment of the Warrant Exercise Price of the
Existing Warrants pursuant to Paragraph 2.2 (a)(iv) and effectuating such
amendment on its records. Upon delivery of the Existing Debentures by Cornell
pursuant to Section 2.2(b) hereof, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall
be deemed to have been waived and there shall be no further obligation on the
part of the Company or any other party to pay interest or fees on the Existing
Debentures and all other obligations of the Company under the Existing
Debentures shall be deemed to be terminated. The parties hereto acknowledge the
current possession of the Original Financing Shares by Cornell and their
obligation to act in good faith to effectuate final delivery and title to, and
possession by, Cornell of all Securities to be transferred pursuant to this
Agreement, including the Original Financing Shares.

4.18 Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with
respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy
thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such
action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain
an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at
the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the
United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request
of any Purchaser.

ARTICLE V.

MISCELLANEOUS

5.1 Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such
Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the
obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to
the other parties, if the Closing has not been consummated on or before
March 31, 2007; provided, however, that no such termination will affect the
right of any party to sue for any breach by the other party (or parties).

5.2 Fees and Expenses The Company shall deliver, prior to the Closing, a
completed and executed copy of the Closing Statement, attached hereto as Annex
A. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary,
each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants
and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party
incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement. The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees, stamp taxes and
other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities
to the Purchasers.

5.3 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and
schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties
acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.

5.4 Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required
or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed
given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such
notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number set
forth on the signature pages attached hereto prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission,
if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile
number set forth on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a
Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day,
(c) the 2nd Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S.
nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (d) upon actual receipt by
the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such
notices and communications shall be as set forth on the signature pages attached
hereto.

5.5 Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended
except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the
Company and each Purchaser or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against
whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought. No waiver of any
default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this
Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of
any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or
requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any
right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

5.6 Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a
part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the
provisions hereof.

5.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The
Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of each Purchaser (other than by merger). Any
Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person
to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided such
transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred
Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to a
“Purchaser”.

5.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is
not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other
Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.9.

5.9 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by
and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of
New Jersey, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each
party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations,
enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its
respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents)
shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in Hudson
County, New Jersey. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the Superior Court of New Jersey, sitting in Hudson County and
the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey sitting in
Newark, New Jersey for the adjudication of any civil action asserted pursuant to
this Paragraph (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the
Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert
in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject
to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is
improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. The parties hereby
waive all rights to a trial by jury.

5.10 Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive
the Closing and the delivery of the Shares and Warrant Shares.

5.11 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all
of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and
shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and
delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not
sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by
facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such
signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or
on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if
such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

5.12 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this
Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal,
void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and
restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in
no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use
their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to
achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such
term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared
to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining
terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that
may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

5.13 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other
Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election,
demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not perform
its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser
may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written
notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in
part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

5.14 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any
Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or
cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation
thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a
new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant
for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any
reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the
issuance of such replacement Securities.

5.15 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided
herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers
and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction
Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate
compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations
contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agrees to waive and not to
assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense
that a remedy at law would be adequate.

5.16 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or
payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser
enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the
proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered
from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored
to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law
(including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common
law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied 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.

5.17 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations
of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with
the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in
any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other
Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any
other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant
thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a
presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect
and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of
this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be
necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any
proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own
separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction
Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms
and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it
was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers.

5.18 Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated
damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing
obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial
liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact
that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated
damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.

5.19 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective
counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents
and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any
ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed
in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.

DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE

TO SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

March 8, 2007

This Disclosure Schedule (the “Disclosure Schedule”) is being furnished by
VIASPACE Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) to Cornell Capital Partners
LP (the “Buyer”), pursuant to Section 3 of that certain Securities Purchase
Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated of even date herewith by and between the
Company and the Buyer. Unless the context otherwise requires, all capitalized
terms used but not defined in this Disclosure Schedule shall have the respective
meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.

  1.   The subsection references in this Disclosure Schedule correspond to the
subsections in Section 3 of the Agreement. Information disclosed in a particular
subsection of the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed and
incorporated into any other subsection of the Disclosure Schedule where the
