Labor Relations.  

(i)

officer does not subject the Company to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters.

(iii)

The Company is in compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND CERTAIN AGREEMENTS OF EACH PURCHASER.  Each Purchaser hereby represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, to the Company, and agrees that:

(a)

Organization, Good Standing and Qualification.  To the extent a Purchaser is an entity, the Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. The Purchaser has all power and authority required to enter into this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

Authorization.  The execution of this Agreement and the performance by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Purchaser.  This Agreement and each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by the Purchaser and  constitutes the Purchaser’s legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and  the effect of rules of law governing the availability of equitable remedies.

(c)

Purchase for Own Account.  The Units are being acquired without a view to the resale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act and in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.  To the extent a Purchaser is an entity, the Purchaser represents that it has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Units.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge the Purchaser’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and the laws of any other applicable jurisdiction, and as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement.

(d)

Investment Experience.  The Purchaser understands that the purchase of the Units involves substantial risk.  The Purchaser has experience as an investor in securities of companies and acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk of its investment in the Units and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is 






13









capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the Units and protecting its own interests in connection with this investment, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.

(e)

Accredited Investor Status.  At the time the Purchaser was offered the Units, it was, and at the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

(f)

Reliance Upon Purchaser’s Representations.  The Purchaser understands that the issuance and sale of the Units to it will not be registered under the Securities Act, the securities laws of any State of the United States or the securities laws of any other applicable jurisdiction, on the ground that such issuance and sale will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, and exempt from any comparable registration requirement under the securities laws of any other applicable jurisdiction, and that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is based on each Purchaser’s representations set forth herein.

(g)

Receipt of Information.  The Purchaser has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the issuance and sale of the Units, the business, properties, prospects, management and financial condition of the Company and to obtain any additional information requested and has received and considered all information it deems relevant to make an informed decision to purchase the Units.  Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of such information and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.

(h)

Restricted Securities.  The Purchaser understands that neither the Units nor the Shares have been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any State

..



(i)

Reliance on Exemptions.  The Purchaser understands that the Units and the Shares 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, acknowledgements 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 the Units and the Shares.

(j)

No Governmental Review.  The 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 Units or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Units nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Units.






14









(k)

Regulation M.  Such Purchaser is aware that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of Common Stock and other activities with respect to the Common Stock by the Purchasers.

(l)

Legend.  (i) The Purchaser agrees that the Notes, Warrants and certificates for the Shares shall bear a legend substantially as follows:

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY EVIDENCE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY TO SUCH EFFECT, THE FORM AND SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.”

Certificates evidencing the Shares shall not contain any legend (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1) or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act.  The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent promptly after the date on which a registration statement with respect to the Shares is declared effective (the “Effective Date”) if such legal opinion is required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder.  The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4(l), it will, no later than five (5) Business Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or to the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Shares issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to such 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 Section 4(h) or this Section 4(l).  As used herein, "Business Day" means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in The City of New York are authorized or required by law to remain closed.

Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing the Shares as set forth in this Section 4(l) is predicated upon the Purchaser’s covenant that the Purchaser only will sell any Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.

It is acknowledged by each Purchaser that (i) the Company will not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve the Required Reserve Amount as of the Closing Date and (ii) the Company will be required to obtain a vote of its stockholders holding a majority of its outstanding Common Stock to approve an amendment to its certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to increase its authorized Common Stock.
