THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY
ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.  THIS SECURITY AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON
CONVERSION OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN
ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

(ii) “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER CONTAINED IN A CERTAIN PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE
AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BY THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THE UNDERLYING SHARES AND THE
COMPANY. A COPY OF THE RELEVANT PROVISIONS THEREOF ARE AVAILABLE FROM THE
COMPANY UPON REQUEST.”

(c) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the 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, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the 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 appropriate Purchaser’s expense, 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.

(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 sell any Securities pursuant to either the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable
prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.

4.3 Integration.  The Company shall 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.
 
4.4 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity.  The Company shall not disclose
publicly 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 the Purchaser, except (i) as required by the
federal securities laws in connection with 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.
 
4.5 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 the 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 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.

4.6 Use of Funds. The Company agrees that the funds shall be used for the
repayment of the Company’s outstanding debt obligations and then, once such debt
is paid, for other general corporate purposes, as determined by the Board after
the Closing.

 
4.7 Board Practices. The Company will take all action necessary to ensure that
the Board adopts and ascribes to generally accepted best practices.

each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants

duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the

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.
 
6.3 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

the other party.
 
6.4 Amendments; Waivers.  Except as otherwise set forth herein, any provision of
this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended in a written
instrument signed by the Company and the Purchaser.  No waiver of any default
with respect to any provision, condition or requirement 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.
 
6.5 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.
 
6.6 Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.  Neither
the Company nor the Purchaser may assign this Agreement or any rights or

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

 
 
6.8 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 laws of the State of Florida,
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 Florida.  Each
party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts sitting in Florida for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder
or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or
discussed herein (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.   Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any
other manner permitted by law.  The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial
by jury.  If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any
provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party in such
action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable
attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation,
preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

6.9 Survival.  The representations and, warranties, shall survive the Closing
and the issuance of the Securities for the applicable statute of limitations.
 
6.10 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.
 
6.11 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.
 
6.12 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 timely
perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then the
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.
 
6.13 Replacement of Stock Certificate.  If any stock certificate or other
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 stock 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 stock certificate or instrument under
such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including
customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement stock
certificate or other instrument.
 
6.14 Remedies.  In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided
herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Purchaser 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.
 
6.15 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or
payments to the Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or the 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.

 
12

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

 
 
6.16 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.

 
6.17 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.
