i.           Full Disclosure.  To the best of the Company’s knowledge, there is
no fact known to the Company (other than general economic conditions known to
the public generally or as disclosed in the Company’s SEC Documents) that has
not been disclosed in writing to the Purchaser that would reasonably be expected
to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.

wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would have a Material Adverse
Effect or which would adversely affect the validity or enforceability of, or the
authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under, any of the
Transaction Documents.  The Company is not aware of any valid basis for any such
claim that (either individually or in the aggregate with all other such events
and circumstances) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.  There are no outstanding or unsatisfied judgments, orders, decrees,
writs, injunctions or stipulations to which the Company is a party or by which
it or any of its properties is bound, that involve the transaction contemplated
herein or that, alone or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expect to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

k.           Absence of Events of Default.  Except as set forth in the Company’s
SEC Documents, (i) neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in default

bound, and (ii) no Event of Default (or its equivalent term), as defined in the
respective agreement to which the Company or its Subsidiary is a party, and no

agreement), has occurred and is continuing, which would have a Material Adverse
Effect.

l.           No Undisclosed Liabilities or Events.  To the best of the Company’s
knowledge, the Company has no liabilities or obligations other than those
disclosed in the Transaction Documents or the Company’s SEC Documents or those

Date, or which individually or in the aggregate, do not or would not have a
Material Adverse Effect.  No event or circumstances has occurred or exists with
respect to the Company or its properties, business, operations, condition
(financial or otherwise), or results of operations, which, under applicable law,
rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement prior to the date
hereof by the Company but which has not been so publicly announced or
disclosed.  There are no proposals currently under consideration or currently
anticipated to be under consideration by the Board of Directors or the executive
officers of the Company which proposal would (x) change the articles or
certificate of incorporation or other charter document or by-laws of the
Company, each as currently in effect, with or without shareholder approval,

contemplated hereby.

n.           Dilution. Any shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued to the
Purchaser in connection with any agreements between the parties hereto, in the
event such shares are issued may have a dilutive effect on the ownership
interests of the other shareholders (and Persons having the right to become

have studied and fully understand the nature of the Securities being sold hereby
and recognize that they have such a potential dilutive effect.  The board of
directors of the Company has concluded, in its good faith business judgment,
that such issuance is in the best interests of the Company.

o.           Confirmation.  The Company confirms that all statements of the
Company contained herein shall survive acceptance of this Agreement by the
Purchaser.  The Company agrees that, if any events occur or circumstances exist
prior to the First Closing Date or the Second Closing Date or the release of the
First Advance Amount or, if funded, the Second Advance Amount, to the Company

other information set forth herein materially untrue or materially inaccurate as

specifying which representation, warranty or covenant is affected and the
reasons therefor.

corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the Transactions
contemplated by each of the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its
obligations thereunder.  The execution and delivery of each of the Transaction
Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the Transactions
contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the
part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company in
connection therewith.  Each  Transaction Document has been (or upon  delivery
will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance
with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the
Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except (i)
as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and
other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally and (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific
performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act, including pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the two years preceding the date hereof (or

(the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto, being collectively
referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”) on a timely basis or has received a
valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior
to the expiration of any such extension.  As of their respective dates, the SEC
Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, and
none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  The financial
statements of the Company comply in all material respects with applicable
accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with
respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing.  Such financial statements

the notes thereto (except that unaudited financial statements may not contain
all of the footnotes required by GAAP), and fairly present in all material
respects the financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries
as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for
the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal,

r.           Sarbanes-Oxley; Internal Accounting Controls.  The Company is and
will continue to be in material compliance with all provisions of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which are applicable to it as of the First Closing
Date and the Second 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, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in
accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) 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 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and
designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material
information relating to the Company, including its Subsidiaries, is made known
to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during
the period in which the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the
Exchange Act is being prepared.  The Company’s certifying officers have
evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures as of the
date prior to the filing date of the 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 significant changes in the Company’s
internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 307(b) of Regulation S-K
under the Exchange Act) or, to the Company’s knowledge, in other factors that
could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls.

s.           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.

t.           No Disagreements with Accountants and Lawyers.  There are no
disagreements of any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated by the
Company to arise, between the accountants and lawyers formerly or presently
employed by the Company and the Company is current with respect to any fees owed
to its accountants and lawyers.  By making this representation the Company does
not, in any manner, waive the attorney/client privilege or the confidentiality
of the communications between the Company and its lawyers.

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 used in the 1933 Act, may
require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and
regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (3) neither the Company nor any other
Person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the 1933 Act or
to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

b.           Restrictive Legend.  The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the
certificates and other instruments representing any of the Securities shall bear
a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer
order may be placed against transfer of any such Securities):

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR
SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES OR
AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

c.           Filings.  The Company undertakes and agrees to make all necessary
filings in connection with the sale of the Securities to the Purchaser under any
United States laws and regulations applicable to the Company, or by any domestic
securities exchange or trading market, and to provide a copy thereof to the
Purchaser promptly after such filing.

d.           Reporting Status.  So long as the Purchaser beneficially owns any
of the Securities, the Company shall file all reports required to be filed with
the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, shall take all
reasonable action under its control to ensure that adequate current public
information with respect to the Company, as required in accordance with Rule
144(c)(2) of the 1933 Act, is publicly available, and shall not terminate its
status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the
Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such
termination.  The Company will take all reasonable action under its control to
maintain the continued listing and quotation and trading of its Common Stock on
the Principal Trading Market or a listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market and, to
the extent applicable to it, will comply in all material respects with the
Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the by-laws or rules of
the Principal Trading Market and/or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,
as the case may be, applicable to it for so long as the Purchaser beneficially
owns any of the Securities.

e.           Use of Proceeds.  The Company will use the proceeds received
hereunder (excluding amounts paid by the Company for legal fees in connection
with the sale of the Securities and as the original issue discount) for working
capital.

f.           Publicity, Filings, Releases, Etc.  Each of the parties agrees that
it will not disseminate any information relating to the Transaction Documents or
the Transactions contemplated thereby, including issuing any press releases,
holding any press conferences or other forums, or filing any reports
(collectively, “Publicity”), without giving the other party reasonable advance
notice and an opportunity to comment on the contents thereof.  Neither party
will include in any such Publicity any statement or statements or other material
to which the other party reasonably objects, unless in the reasonable opinion of
counsel to the party proposing such statement, such statement is legally
required to be included.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company will
provide to the Purchaser drafts of the applicable text of the first filing of a
Current Report on Form 8-K or a Quarterly or Annual Report on Form 10-Q or 10-K
intended to be made with the SEC which refers to the Transaction Documents or
the Transactions contemplated thereby as soon as practicable (but at least 2
Trading Days before such filing will be made) will not include in such filing
any statement or statements or other material to which the other party
reasonably objects, unless in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the party
proposing such statement, such statement is legally required to be
included.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereby consents to
the inclusion of the text of the Transaction Documents in filings made with the
SEC as well as any descriptive text accompanying or as a part of such filing
which is accurate and reasonably determined by the Company’s counsel to be
legally required.  Notwithstanding, but subject to, the foregoing provisions of
this Section 4f, the Company will, after the First Closing Date and the Second
Closing Date, as applicable, promptly file a Current Report on Form 8-K or, if
appropriate, a quarterly or annual report on the appropriate form, referring to
the Transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
 
5.           TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.
 
a.           The Company warrants that, with respect to the Securities, other
than the stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 4a hereof, it will
give its transfer agent no instructions inconsistent with instructions to issue
Common Stock to the Holder as contemplated in the Note.  Nothing in this Section
shall affect in any way the Purchaser’s obligations and agreement to comply with
all applicable securities laws upon resale of the Securities.  If the Purchaser
provides the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Company that registration of a resale by the Purchaser of any of the Securities
in accordance with clause (1)(B) of Section 4a of this Agreement is not required
under the 1933 Act, the Company shall (except as provided in clause (2) of
Section 4a of this Agreement) permit the transfer or reissue of the Shares
represented by one or more certificates for Common Stock without legend (or
where applicable, by electronic registration) in such name and in such
denominations as specified by the Purchaser.

b.           The Company will authorize the Transfer Agent to give information
relating to the Company directly to the Holder or the Holder’s representatives
upon the request of the Holder or any such representative, to the extent such
information relates to (i) the status of the shares of Common Stock issued or
claimed to be issued to the Holder in connection with a Notice of Conversion in
accordance with the terms of the Note, or (ii) the aggregate number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock of all shareholders (as a group, and not
individually) as of a current or other specified date.  At the request of the
Holder, the Company will provide the Holder with a copy of the authorization so
given to the Transfer Agent.
 

6.           CLOSING DATES.

a.           The First Closing Date and, if the Second Advance Amount is funded,

of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser contained in this
Agreement, each as if made on such date, and the performance by the Purchaser on

be performed on or before such date; and

d.           There shall not be in effect any law, rule or regulation

the aggregate principal amount of which will not exceed $500,000, on terms and
conditions as near as possible to the terms and conditions included in the

10.           INDEMNIFICATION AND REIMBURSEMENT.

a.           (i)  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Purchaser and its officers, directors, employees, and agents, and each Purchaser
Control Person from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses incurred (collectively, “Damages”), joint or several, and any action in
respect thereof to which the Purchaser, its partners, Affiliates, officers,
directors, employees, and duly authorized agents, and any such Purchaser Control
Person becomes subject to, resulting from, arising out of or relating to any
misrepresentation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of or failure to perform
any covenant or agreement on the part of Company contained in this Agreement, as
such Damages are incurred, except to the extent such Damages result primarily
from Purchaser’s failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this
Agreement or the Purchaser’s or its officer’s, director’s, employee’s, agent’s
or Purchaser Control Person’s negligence, recklessness or bad faith in
performing its obligations under this Agreement.

(ii)  The Company hereby agrees that, if the Purchaser, other than by reason of
its negligence, illegal or willful misconduct (in each case, as determined by a
non- appealable judgment to such effect), (x) becomes involved in any capacity
in any action, proceeding or investigation brought by any shareholder of the
Company, in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the
Transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents,
or if the Purchaser is impleaded in any such action, proceeding or investigation
by any Person, or (y) becomes involved in any capacity in any action, proceeding
or investigation brought by the SEC, any self-regulatory organization or other
body having jurisdiction, against or involving the Company or in connection with
or as a result of the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or (z) is impleaded in any such
action, proceeding or investigation by any Person, then in any such case, the
Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser from and against
and in respect of all losses, claims, liabilities, damages or expenses resulting
from, imposed upon or incurred by the Purchaser, directly or indirectly, and
reimburse such Purchaser for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including
the cost of any investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith,
as such expenses are incurred.  The indemnification and reimbursement
obligations of the Company under this paragraph shall be in addition to any
liability which the Company may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms
and conditions to any Affiliates of the Purchaser who are actually named in such
action, proceeding or investigation, and partners, directors, agents, employees
and Purchaser Control Persons (if any), as the case may be, of the Purchaser and
any such Affiliate, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any
successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company, the
Purchaser, any such Affiliate and any such Person.  The Company also agrees that
neither the Purchaser nor any such Affiliate, partner, director, agent, employee
or Purchaser Control Person shall have any liability to the Company or any
Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company in connection
with or as a result of the consummation of this Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents, except as may be expressly and specifically provided in
or contemplated by this Agreement.
 
b.           All claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party (as defined
below) under this Section shall be asserted and resolved as follows:
 
(i)           In the event any claim or demand in respect of which any Person
claiming indemnification under any provision of this Section (an “Indemnified
Party”) might seek indemnity under paragraph a of this Section is asserted
against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a Person other
than a party hereto or an Affiliate thereof (a “Third Party Claim”), the
Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notification, enclosing a copy of all
papers served, if any, and specifying the nature of and basis for such Third
Party Claim and for the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification that is
being asserted under any provision of this Section against any Person (the
“Indemnifying Party”), together with the amount or, if not then reasonably
ascertainable, the estimated amount, determined in good faith, of such Third
Party Claim (a “Claim Notice”) with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying
Party.  If the Indemnified Party fails to provide the Claim Notice with
reasonable promptness after the Indemnified Party receives notice of such Third
Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify the
Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim to the extent that the
Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend has been prejudiced by such failure of
the Indemnified Party.  The Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified
Party as soon as practicable within the period ending 30 calendar days following
receipt by the Indemnifying Party of either a Claim Notice or an Indemnity
Notice (as defined below) (the “Dispute Period”) whether the Indemnifying Party
disputes its liability or the amount of its liability to the Indemnified Party
under this Section and whether the Indemnifying Party desires, at its sole cost
and expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim. The
following provisions shall also apply.

(x)          If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the
Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified
Party with respect to the Third Party Claim pursuant to this paragraph b of this
Section, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, at the sole cost and
expense of the Indemnifying Party, such Third Party Claim by all appropriate
proceedings, which proceedings shall be vigorously and diligently prosecuted by
the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or will be settled at the
discretion of the Indemnifying Party (but only with the consent of the
Indemnified Party in the case of any settlement that provides for any relief
other than the payment of monetary damages or that provides for the payment of
monetary damages as to which the Indemnified Party shall not be indemnified in
full pursuant to paragraph a of  this Section).  The Indemnifying Party shall
have full control of  such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or
settlement thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at the
sole cost and expense of the Indemnified Party, at any time prior to the
Indemnifying Party’s delivery of the notice referred to in the first sentence of
this subparagraph (x), file any motion, answer or other pleadings or take any
other action that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes to be necessary or
appropriate protect its interests; and provided further, that if requested by
the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will, at the sole cost and expense
of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnifying
Party in contesting any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to
contest.  The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense
or settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party
pursuant to this subparagraph (x), and except as provided in the preceding
sentence, the Indemnified Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with
respect to such participation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified
Party may take over the control of the defense or settlement of a Third Party
Claim at any time if it irrevocably waives its right to indemnity under
paragraph a of this Section with respect to such Third Party Claim.
 
(y)          If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party
within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the
Third Party Claim pursuant to paragraph b of this Section, or if the
Indemnifying Party gives such notice but fails to prosecute vigorously and
diligently or settle the Third Party Claim, or if the Indemnifying Party fails
to give any notice whatsoever within the Dispute Period, then the Indemnified
Party shall have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the
Indemnifying Party, the Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which
proceedings shall be prosecuted by the Indemnified Party in a reasonable manner
and in good faith or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnified Party
(with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld).  The Indemnified Party will have full control of such
defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof;
provided, however, that if requested by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying
Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide
reasonable cooperation to the Indemnified Party and its counsel in contesting
any Third Party Claim which the Indemnified Party is
contesting.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subparagraph (y),
if the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party within the Dispute
Period that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or the amount of its
liability hereunder to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party
Claim and if such dispute is resolved in favor of the Indemnifying Party in the
manner provided in subparagraph (z) below, the Indemnifying Party will not be
required to bear the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s defense
pursuant to this subparagraph (y) or of the Indemnifying Party’s participation
therein at the Indemnified Party’s request, and the Indemnified Party shall
reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with such litigation.  The
Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or
settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this subparagraph
(y), and the Indemnifying Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with
respect to such participation.

(z)          If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it
does not dispute its liability or the amount of its liability to the Indemnified
Party with respect to the Third Party Claim under paragraph a of this Section or
fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period whether the
Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or the amount of its liability to the
Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, the amount of Damages
specified in the Claim Notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the
Indemnifying Party under paragraph a of this Section and the Indemnifying Party
shall pay the amount of such Damages to the Indemnified Party on demand.  If the
Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability or the amount of its
liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified
Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute;
provided, however, that if the dispute is not resolved within 30 days after the
Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to institute such legal
action as it deems appropriate.
 
(ii)           In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim under
paragraph a of this Section against the Indemnifying Party that does not involve
a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notification
of a claim for indemnity under paragraph a of this Section specifying the nature
of and basis for such claim, together with the amount or, if not then reasonably
ascertainable, the estimated amount, determined in good faith, of such claim (an
“Indemnity Notice”) with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party.  The
failure by any Indemnified Party to give the Indemnity Notice shall not impair
such party’s rights hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party
demonstrates that it has been irreparably prejudiced thereby.  If the
Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the
claim or the amount of the claim described in such Indemnity Notice or fails to
notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying
Party disputes the claim or the amount of the claim described in such Indemnity
Notice, the amount of Damages specified in the Indemnity Notice will be
conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under paragraph a of
this Section and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Damages to
the Indemnified Party on demand.  If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed
its liability or the amount of its liability with respect to such claim, the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to
negotiate a resolution of such dispute; provided, however, that it the dispute
is not resolved within 30 days after the Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party
shall be entitled to institute such legal action as it deems appropriate.

c.           The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to
(i) any cause of action or similar rights of the Indemnified Party against the
Indemnifying Party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the Indemnifying Party
may be subject to.
 
11.           JURY TRIAL WAIVER.  The Company and the Purchaser hereby waive a
trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the
parties hereto against the other in respect of any matter arising out or in
connection with the Transaction Documents.

12.           REGISTRATION RIGHTS

a.           Should the Company determine to file with the SEC a registration
statement under the 1933 Act (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or their then
equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with
any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in
connection with stock option or other bona fide employee benefit plans or equity
securities to be issued solely in connection with a bona fide firm underwritten
public offering of the Company’s securities) relating to an offering which
includes common stock underlying securities issued by the Company that are
exercisable or convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, which
offering is for its own account or the account of others, the Company shall send
to the Purchaser written notice of such determination and, if within 20 days
after such notice, the Purchaser shall so request in writing, the Company shall
include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable
Securities such Purchaser requests to be registered.  Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, the Company may withdraw any registration statement
referred to in this Section 12a without incurring any liability to the
Purchaser.  Furthermore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
the Purchaser shall have no registration rights with respect to any registration
statement of the Company that was initially filed prior to the First Closing
Date.

b.           In the event the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) or the SEC seeks to
characterize any offering pursuant to the registration statement filed by the
Company as constituting an offering of securities by, or on behalf of, the
Company, or in any other manner, such that the Staff or the SEC do not permit
such Registration Statement to become effective and used for resales in a manner
that does not constitute such an offering and that permits the continuous resale
at the market by the Purchaser and others participating therein without being
named therein as an “underwriter,” then the Company shall reduce the number of
shares to be included in such Registration Statement by the Purchaser and all
others until such time as the Staff and the SEC shall permit the registration
statement to become effective.  In making such reduction, the Company shall
reduce the number of securities to be included by the Purchaser and all others
on a pro rata basis (based upon the number of securities to be included in the
registration statement).

c.           The Company shall:

(i)           use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration
statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as possible, but in any
event not later than the fifth trading day following the date on which the
Company is notified by the SEC that the registration statement will not be
reviewed or is no longer subject to further review and comment;

(ii)           use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the
SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the
prospectus used in connection therewith (the “Prospectus”) as may be necessary
to keep the registration statement continuously current, effective and free from
any material misstatement or omission to state a material fact for a period not
exceeding, with respect to the Registrable Securities, from the date it is first
declared effective until the earlier of (A) the date on which the Purchaser may
sell all Registrable Securities then held by the Purchaser pursuant to Rule 144
without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date
that can then be immediately sold, or (B) the public sale of all of the
Registrable Securities;

(iii)           furnish to the Purchaser with respect to the Registrable
Securities such number of copies of the registration statement, Prospectuses and
preliminary Prospectuses in conformity with the requirements of the 1933 Act and
such other documents as the Purchaser may reasonably request in writing, in
order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the
Registrable Securities by the Purchaser; provided, however, that the obligation
of the Company to deliver copies of Prospectuses or preliminary Prospectuses to
the Purchaser shall be subject to the receipt by the Company of reasonable
assurances from the Purchaser that the Purchaser will comply with the applicable
provisions of the 1933 Act and of such other securities or blue sky laws as may
be applicable in connection with any use of such Prospectuses or Preliminary
Prospectuses;

(iv)           file documents required of the Company for blue sky clearance in
states specified in writing by the Purchaser and use its commercially reasonable
efforts to maintain such blue sky qualifications during the period the Company
is required to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement pursuant
to Section 12c.(ii); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
to qualify to do business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction
in which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented;

(v)           bear all expenses in connection with the preparation and filing of
the registration statement (other than any underwriting discounts or
commissions, brokers’ fees and similar selling expenses, and any other fees or
expenses incurred by the Purchaser, including attorneys’ fees); and

(vi)           advise the Purchaser in writing promptly after it shall receive
notice or obtain knowledge of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC delaying
or suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or of the
initiation or threat of any proceeding for that purpose; and it will promptly
use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop
order or to obtain its withdrawal at the earliest possible moment if such stop
order should be issued.

13.           GOVERNING LAW:  MISCELLANEOUS.

a.           (i)   This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York for contracts to be wholly
performed in such state and without giving effect to the principles thereof
regarding the conflict of laws.  Each of the parties consents to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the federal courts in New York County in the State of New York
as in connection with any dispute arising under this Agreement or any of the
other Transaction Documents and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted
by law, any objection, including any objection based on forum non conveniens, to
the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions or to any claim that
such venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper.  To the extent
determined by such court, the Company shall reimburse the Purchaser for any
reasonable legal fees and disbursements incurred by the Purchaser in enforcement
of or protection of any of its rights under any of the Transaction
Documents.  Nothing in this Section shall affect or limit any right to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law.

that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or
cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof and

shall not operate as a waiver thereof.

h.           If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement or the
validity or enforceability of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
