      2.      BUYER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES.

       

      Buyer
represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, that:

       

      (a)                 Investment
Purpose.  Buyer is acquiring their interest in
the  Note and, upon conversion of such interest in the Note, the Buyer
will acquire the Conversion Shares then

       


      
        
           


        

        
          2

          
            

          

        

        
           


        

      


      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 1933 Act; provided, however,
that by making the representations herein, such Buyer reserves the right to
dispose of the Conversion Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to
an effective registration statement covering such Conversion Shares or an
available exemption under the 1933 Act.

       

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

       

      (c)                 Reliance on
Exemptions.  Buyer understands that the interests in the Note
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
Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in order to
determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Buyer
to acquire such securities.

       

      (d)                 Information.  Buyer
and its advisors and counsel, if any, have been furnished with all materials
relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and information
deemed by such Buyer to be material to making an informed investment decision
regarding the purchase of their interest in the Note and the Conversion Shares,
which have been requested by such Buyer.  Buyer 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 Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its
representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer’s right to rely on the
Company’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3
below.  Buyer understands that its investment in the Note and the
Conversion Shares involves a high degree of risk.  Buyer is in a
position regarding the Company, which, based upon employment, family
relationship or economic bargaining power, enabled and enables such Buyer to
obtain information from the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks of
this investment.  Buyer 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 Note and the  Conversion
Shares.

       

      (e)                 No Governmental
Review.  Buyer 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 Note or the Conversion Shares, or
the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Note or the Conversion
Shares, nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the
offering of the Note or the Conversion Shares.

       

      (f)                 Transfer or
Resale.  Buyer understands that except as provided in the
Investor Registration Rights Agreement: (i) the interests in the Note have not
been and are not being registered under the 1933 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 Buyer shall have delivered to
the Company an opinion of counsel selected by Buyer, 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 1933 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 1933 Act) may require
compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 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 1933 Act or
any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any
exemption thereunder.  The Company reserves the right to place stop
transfer instructions against the shares and certificates for
the  Conversion Shares.

       

      (g)                 Legends.  Buyer
understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the
interests in the Note and or the Conversion Shares shall bear a restrictive
legend in substantially the following form (and a stop ­transfer order may
be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

       

      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 FORM AND
SUBSTANCE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

       

      The
legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company within two (2) business
days shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of
the  Conversion Shares upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise
required by state securities laws, (i) in connection with a sale transaction,
provided the  Conversion Shares are registered under the 1933 Act or
(ii) in connection with a sale transaction, after such holder provides the
Company with an opinion of counsel, which opinion shall be in form, substance
and scope reasonably acceptable to counsel for the Company, to the effect that a
public sale, assignment or transfer of the  Conversion Shares may be
made without registration under the 1933 Act.

       

      (h)                 Authorization,
Enforcement.  This Agreement has been duly and validly
authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Buyer and is a valid and
binding agreement of such Buyer 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.

information contained therein and has not been furnished any other documents,
literature, memorandum or prospectus.

       

      (j)                 Due Formation of Corporate
and Other Buyer.  If the Buyer 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 Note and is not prohibited from doing so.

       

      (k)                 No Legal Advice From the
Company.  Buyer 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.  Buyer
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

to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the 1934 Act and the regulations of the SEC

outstanding, the Company shall not directly or indirectly consummate any merger,
reorganization, restructuring, reverse stock split consolidation, sale of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets or any similar transaction or related
transactions (each such transaction, an “Organizational

hereof any additional debt or permit any subsidiary of the Company to do or
allow any of the foregoing without the Buyer’s prior written consent beyond that
which is set forth in Schedule 4(j) attached hereto.   In the
event that Buyer does provide its consent hereunder to issue any such securities
described under (i), (ii) or (iv) of this Section or the Company issues any of
the Common Stock permitted to be issued under the Prior Agreement, in either
event if the Company defaults under the Note, the Fixed Price under the Note
shall be equal to the lesser of: (a) the Fixed Price as defined therein and (b)

      5.           
TRANSFER AGENT
INSTRUCTIONS.

       

      The
Company shall issue the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions to its transfer
agent irrevocably appointing James G. Dodrill II, P.A. as its agent for purpose
of having certificates issued, registered in the name of the Buyer or its
respective nominee(s), for the  Conversion Shares representing such
amounts of the Note as specified from time to time by the Buyer to the Company
upon conversion of the Note, for interest owed pursuant to the  Notes,
and for any and all Liquidated Damages (as this term is defined in the Investor
Registration Rights Agreement).  James G. Dodrill II, P.A. shall be
paid a cash fee of One Hundred Dollars ($100) for every occasion they act
pursuant to the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions.  The Company
shall not change its transfer agent without the express written consent of the
Buyer, which may be withheld by the Buyer in its sole
discretion.  Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares under the
1933 Act, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in
Section 2(g) of this Agreement.  The Company warrants that no
instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to
in this Section 5, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(g)
hereof (in the case of the Conversion Shares prior to registration of such
shares under the 1933 Act) will be given by the Company to its transfer agent
and that the  Conversion Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable
on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this
Agreement and the Investor Registration Rights Agreement.  Nothing in
this Section 5 shall affect in any way the Buyer’s obligations and agreement to
comply with all applicable securities laws upon resale of Conversion
Shares.  If the Buyer provides the Company with an opinion of counsel,
in form, scope and substance customary for opinions of counsel in comparable
transactions and reasonably acceptable to the Company’s counsel, to the effect
that registration of a resale by the Buyer of any of the Conversion Shares is
not required under the 1933 Act, the Company shall within two (2) business days
instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name and
in such denominations as specified by the Buyer.  The Company
acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause
irreparable harm to the Buyer by vitiating the intent and purpose of the
transaction contemplated hereby.  Accordingly, the Company
acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this
Section 5 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened
breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 5, that the Buyer
shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction
restraining any breach and requiring immediate

       

      issuance
and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any
bond or other security being required.

Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is intended for the benefit of

      (k)           Further
Assurances.  Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be
done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and

      (l)           Termination.  In
the event that the Closing shall not have occurred with respect to the Buyer on
or before five (5) business days from the date hereof due to the Company’s or

above (and the non-breaching party’s failure to waive such unsatisfied
condition(s)), the non-breaching party shall have the option to terminate this
Agreement with respect to such breaching party at the close of business on such
