      have been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming
      the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Purchaser, this
      Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents constitutes the legal, valid
      and
      binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in
      accordance with its respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
      insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’

      or
      cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement,

      applicable) in each other jurisdiction in which it owns or leases property
      of a
      nature, or transacts business of a type, that would make such qualification
      necessary other than such qualifications which the failure to have would not

      or
      similar arrangement or agreement.

      Effect, (c) constitute a violation of any Law applicable to the Company (or
      any
      Subsidiary) or (d) result in the creation of any Lien upon the properties or
      assets of the Company (or any Subsidiary).  No consent, waiver,
      approval, Order, Permit or authorization of, or declaration or filing with,
      or
      notification to, any Person or Governmental Body is required on the part of
      the

      of
      this Agreement, and/or the Transaction Documents, or the compliance by the

      under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including pursuant to

      was required by law to file such material) (the foregoing materials, including
      the exhibits thereto, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC

      Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the
      Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the
      Commission promulgated thereunder, as applicable, 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. All material agreements to which the Company is a party
      or
      to which the property or assets of the Company are subject have been filed
      as
      exhibits to the SEC Reports to the extent required.  The financial
      statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports 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 have been prepared in accordance with generally
      accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods
      involved (“GAAP”),
      except
      as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto
      and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all 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, immaterial,
      year-end audit adjustments. Additionally, since the adoption of the
      Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “New
      Act”) and
      to the extent that the Company is subject to the New Act, the Company has
      complied in all material respects with the laws, rules and regulation under
      the
      New Act.

      Tangible Personal

      assets owned or leased by the Company and its Subsidiaries are in good operating
      condition, normal wear and tear excepted.

     

    4.16                   
      Intangible
      Property.  The Company and its Subsidiaries own, or possess
      adequate rights or licenses to use all trademarks, trade names, service marks,
      service mark registrations, service names, patents, patent rights, copyrights,
      inventions, licenses, approvals, governmental authorizations, trade secrets
      and
      rights necessary to conduct their respective businesses as now conducted, the
      lack of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
      Effect.  The Company and its Subsidiaries do not have any knowledge of
      any infringement by the Company or its Subsidiaries of trademarks, trade name
      rights, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, service names,
      service marks, service mark registrations, trade secrets or other similar rights

      made
      or brought against, or to the Company's knowledge, has been threatened against,
      the Company or its Subsidiaries regarding trademarks, trade name rights,
      patents, patent rights, inventions, copyrights, licenses, service names, service
      marks, service mark registrations, trade secrets or other infringement, except
      where such infringement, claim, action or proceeding would not reasonably be
      expected to have either individually or in the aggregate a Material Adverse
      Effect. None of the Company’s employees, officers, or consultants are obligated
      under any contract (including licenses, covenants, or commitments of any nature)
      or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree, or order of any court
      or
      administrative agency, that would interfere with the use of such employee’s,
      officer’s, or consultant’s commercially reasonable efforts to promote the
      interests of the Company or that would conflict with the Company’s business as
      conducted.  Neither the execution nor delivery of the Transaction
      Documents, nor the carrying on of the Company’s business by the employees of the
      Company, nor the conduct of the Company’s business, will, to the Company’s
      knowledge, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions, or
      provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract, covenant, or
      instrument under which any of such employees, officers or consultants are now
      obligated.

      agreement, credit agreement, promissory note, guarantee, subordination
      agreement, letter of credit or any other similar type of Contract, (v) Contract
      with any Governmental Body outside the ordinary course of business, (vi)

      and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless
      of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity), and

      the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of the Company,
      by
      any other party thereto, which is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect,
      and
      no event has occurred that with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or
      both would constitute a default by the Company thereunder which is likely to
      have a Material Adverse Effect.

     

    (ii)           No
      previous or current party to any Contract has given written notice to the
      Company or any Subsidiary of, or made a claim, verbal or written, with respect
      to any breach or default thereunder and the Company has no knowledge of any
      notice of or claim with respect to any such breach or default other than such
      notices or claims with respect to any such breaches or defaults that would
      not,
      either individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a
      Material Adverse Effect.

     

    (c)           With
      respect to the Contracts listed on Schedule 4.17 that
      were assigned to the Company or any Subsidiary by a third party, all necessary

      the failure to obtain would not be reasonably expected to have a Material
      Adverse Effect.

      arrangements, or labor or collective bargaining agreements, written or
      oral.  The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all
      material respects with all applicable Laws relating to labor, employment, fair
      employment practices, terms and conditions of employment, and wages and
      hours.

      of
      any nature), or subject to any judgment, decree, or Order of any court or
      Governmental Body, (i) that would conflict with such employee’s obligation
      diligently to promote and further the interest of the Company or its Subsidiaries
      or (ii) that would conflict with the Company’s (or its Subsidiaries’) business
      as now conducted or as proposed to be conducted.

      business, except in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) as would
      not result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of the
      Subsidiaries has received any written notice of any violation of or
      noncompliance with, any federal, state, local or foreign laws, ordinances,
      regulations and orders (including, without limitation, those relating to
      environmental protection, occupational safety and health, federal securities
      laws, equal employment opportunity, consumer protection, credit reporting,
      “truth-in-lending”, and warranties and trade practices) applicable to its
      business or to the business of any Subsidiary, the violation of, or
      noncompliance with, which would have a materially adverse effect on either
      the
      Company’s business or operations, or that of any Subsidiary, and the Company
      knows of no facts or set of circumstances which would give rise to such
      a
      notice. The execution, delivery, and performance of the Transaction Documents
      and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will not result
      in
      any such violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the
      passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision,
      instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract, or an event which results
      in the creation of any lien, charge, or encumbrance upon any assets of the
      Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or nonrenewal
      of
      any material permit, license, authorization, or approval applicable to the
      Company, its business or operations, or any of its assets or properties, except
      as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
      Effect.

    4.22                   
      Environmental and
      Safety Laws.  Neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries are in
      violation of any applicable Laws relating to the environment or occupational
      health and safety where the failure to so comply could have a Material Adverse
      Effect and no material expenditures are or will be required in order to comply
      with any such existing Laws.

     

    4.23                   
      Investment Company
      Act.  The Company is not, nor is it directly or indirectly
      controlled by or acting on behalf of, any Person that is an investment company
      within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
      amended.

     

    4.24                   
      Financial
      Advisors.  Except for Laidlaw, 
      no agent, broker, investment banker, finder, financial advisor or other Person
      is or will be entitled to any broker’s or finder’s fee or any other commission
      or similar fee from the Company, directly or indirectly, in connection with
      the
      transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Transaction Document and
      no
      Person is entitled to any fee or commission or like payment from the Company
      in
      respect thereof based in any way on agreements, arrangements or understandings
      made by or on behalf of the Company.

    


    4.25                    Condition
      of
      Properties.  All facilities, machinery, equipment, fixtures,
      vehicles and other properties owned, leased or used by the Company and its
      Subsidiaries are in good operating condition and repair, are reasonably fit
      and
      usable for the purposes for which they are being used, are adequate and
      sufficient for the Company and its Subsidiaries respective businesses and
      conform in all material respects with all applicable Laws.

     

    4.26                   
      Pending
      Changes.  The Company has no knowledge of any development which
      might reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse affect on the
      operations or financial condition of the Company or its
      Subsidiaries.

     

    4.27                   
      Securities
      Laws.  The Company has complied in all material respects with
      all applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws in connection with (i)
      all
      offers, issuances and sales of its securities prior to the date hereof and
      (ii)
      the offer, issuance and sale of the Securities.  All sales and
      issuances of currently outstanding securities by the Company have been to
      accredited investors within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the
      Securities Act.  Prior to the Closing, neither the Company nor anyone
      acting on its behalf has sold, offered to sell or solicited offers to buy the
      Securities or similar securities to, or solicited offers with respect thereto
      from, or entered into any preliminary conversations or negotiations relating
      thereto with, any
      Person, so as to bring the issuance and sale of the Securities under the
      registration provisions of the Securities Act, and applicable state securities
      laws.  Neither the Company nor any Person acting on its behalf has
      offered the Securities to any Person by means of general or public solicitation
      or general or public advertising, such as by newspaper or magazine
      advertisements, by broadcast media, or at any seminar or meeting whose attendees
      were solicited by such means.

    4.28                    Registration
      Rights.  Except for any rights granted under the Transaction
      Documents and the Prior Registration Agreements, no Person has demand or other
      rights to cause the Company to file any registration statement under the
      Securities Act relating to any securities of the Company or any right to
      participate in any such registration statement.

     

    4.29                   
      Disclosure;
      Survival.  There is no fact which has not been disclosed to the
      Purchaser of which the Company has knowledge and which has had or could
      reasonably be anticipated to result in a Material Adverse Change.  All
      representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or in any of the
      Transaction Documents or in any writing or certificate delivered in connection
      with this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement
      and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby for a period of
      two
      (2) years (except where expressly stated otherwise) (the “Survival
      Period”) and shall not be affected by any examination made for or
      on behalf of the Purchaser, the knowledge of the Purchaser, or the acceptance
      by
      the Purchaser of any certificate or opinion.

     

    4.30                   
      No General
      Solicitation. Neither the Company, its Subsidiaries, any of their
      affiliates nor any person acting on their behalf, has engaged in any form of
      general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of
      Regulation D under the Securities Act) in connection with the offer or sale
      of the Notes and the Warrants.

     

    4.31                   
      Insurance.  The
      Company has in full force and effect fire and casualty insurance policies,
      with
      extended coverage, sufficient in amount (subject to reasonable deductibles)
      to
      allow it to replace any of its properties that might be damaged or destroyed,
      and the Company has insurance against other hazards, risks, and liabilities
      to
      persons and property to the extent and in the manner customary for companies
      in
      similar businesses similarly situated.

     

    4.32                   
      Regulatory
      Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all licenses,
      certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,
      state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their
      respective businesses, except where the failure to possess such permits would
      not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect
      (“Material
      Permits”), and believes it can obtain, without undue burden or
      expense, any similar authority for the conduct of its business as planned to
      be
      conducted, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice
      of
      proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any Material
      Permit.

     

    4.33                   
      Title to Property
      and
      Assets. The Company (and each Subsidiary) owns its property and assets
      free and clear of all mortgages, liens, loans, pledges, security interests,
      claims, equitable interests, charges, and encumbrances, except such encumbrances
      and liens which arise in the ordinary course of business and do not materially
      impair the Company’s (and each
      Subsidiary’s) ownership or use of such property or assets and/or any such liens,
      encumbrances and security interests which arose in connection with the Prior
      Security Agreement. With respect to the property and assets it leases, the
      Company (and each Subsidiary) is in compliance with such leases and, to its
      knowledge, holds a valid leasehold interest free of any liens, claims, or
      encumbrances.

    4.34                   
      Foreign Assets Control
      Legislation.  Neither the sale of the Notes nor the Warrants by
      the Company hereunder nor its use of the proceeds thereof will violate the
      Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, or any of the foreign assets control
      regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B,
      Chapter V, as amended) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating
      thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Company nor any of its
      Subsidiaries (a) is a person whose property or interests in property are blocked
      pursuant to Section 1 of Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001 Blocking
      Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to
      Commit, or Support Terrorism (66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (2001)) or (b) engages in
      any
      dealings or transactions, or be otherwise associated, with any such person.
      The
      Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with the USA Patriot Act of
      2001
      (signed into law October 26, 2001).

    


    4.35                  
      Solvency.  Based
      on the financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date (after giving
      effect to the transactions contemplated herein and in the other Transaction
      Documents), the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to
      carry on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as
      proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the
      particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and
      projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof.  The
      Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts
      as
      they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable
      on
      or in respect to its debt).

    


    5.      Representations
      and Warranties of the
      Purchaser. Each Purchaser hereby represents and warrants as of the date
      hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company, acknowledging that the Company
      is relying upon the accuracy and completeness of the representations and
      warranties set forth herein to, among other things, ensure that registration
      under Section 5 of the Securities Act is not required in connection with
      the sale of the Securities hereby, as follows:

     

    5.1                     
      Organization;
      Authority. Such Purchaser is an entity duly organized, validly existing
      and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization
      with
      full right, corporate or limited liability company power and authority to enter
      into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
      Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution,
      delivery and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated
      by
      this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or similar
      action on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it
      is a
      party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such
      Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and
      legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it 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.

     


    
      
        
        

      

      
        14

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    


     

    5.2                     
      Investment
      Intent. The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company that it is
      (a) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D of the
      Securities Act; and (b) acquiring the Purchased Securities to be purchased
      by it
      pursuant to this Agreement for investment and not with a view to the
      distribution thereof.

     

    5.3                     
      Investment
      Purposes. (a) The Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for investment
      purposes only, for its own account, and not as nominee or agent for any other
      Person, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any
      distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act, (b) it
      understands and acknowledges that the Securities have not been registered under
      the Securities Act or any other securities laws, (c) it is not an “affiliate”
(as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Company, (d) it has
      such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable
      of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment, (e) it is an “accredited
      investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities
      Act, (f) the Company has made available to it the opportunity to ask questions
      and to receive answers, and to obtain information necessary to evaluate the
      merits and risks of this investment, and (g) it understands, acknowledges and
      agrees that the Securities have not been registered under (and that the Company
      has no present intention to register the Securities under) the Securities Act
      or
      applicable state securities laws, and may not be sold or otherwise transferred
      by the Purchaser to a United States person unless the Securities have been
      registered under the Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws
      or
      are sold or transferred in a transaction exempt therefrom.

     

    5.4                      Short
      Selling. The
      Purchaser hereby represents to the Company that the Purchaser will not make
      or
      maintain a “short” position in the Company's securities while any Notes or Prior
      Notes held by the Purchaser are outstanding.

    


    5.5                      Prior
      Warrants and Prior
      Notes.  Purchaser agrees that the $1,250,000 in Prior Notes
      previously sold to Purchaser by the Company on August 8, 2006, had their
      Conversion Price (as defined therein) re-priced to the Conversion Price as
      defined in the Follow On Warrants.  Purchaser also agrees to waive any
      anti-dilution and/or reset rights that Purchaser may have pursuant to the Prior
      Warrants or Follow On Warrants (as provided by Section 4 therein) granted to
      Purchaser in connection with the applicable Prior Closing and Follow On Closing,
      in connection with any of the Warrants granted to Purchaser herein, and/or
      any
      other Warrants granted to any purchasers in connection with the offering, of
      which this Agreement is a part.

    


    6.      Further
      Agreements of the Parties.

     

    6.1                      Reserved
      Shares.  For so long as the Securities are outstanding, the
      Company shall reserve that number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
      conversion of the Notes
      and
      exercise of the Warrants, which shares shall not be subject to any preemptive
      or
      other similar rights.

    6.2                      Access
      to
      Information.  The Purchaser and its representatives shall be
      entitled, upon reasonable notice, to make such investigation of the properties,
      business and operations of the Company and such examination of the books,
      records and financial condition of the Company as it reasonably requests to
      make
      extracts and copies of such books and records, upon reasonable notice during
      regular business hours.  Any such investigation and examination shall
      be conducted during regular business hours and under reasonable circumstances
      without material interference with the Company’s normal business operations, and
      the Company and its representatives shall cooperate fully therein.  No
      investigation by a Purchaser or its Representatives prior to or after the date
      of this Agreement shall diminish or obviate any of the representations,
      warranties, covenants or agreements of the Company contained in this Agreement
      or the Transaction Documents.  In order for Purchaser to have full
      opportunity to make such physical, business, accounting and legal review,
      examination of the affairs of the Company and investigation as may be reasonably
      requested, the Company shall cause its Representatives to cooperate fully with
      the Representatives of the Purchaser in connection with such review and
      examination.

     

    6.3                     
      Confidentiality.  Except
      as may be required by applicable Law or as otherwise agreed among the parties
      hereto, neither the Company, the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall
      at
      any time divulge, disclose, disseminate, announce or release any information
      to
      any Person concerning this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, the
      transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any trade secrets or other
      confidential information of the Company or the Purchaser, without first
      obtaining the prior written consent of the other parties hereto.

     

    6.4                     
      Other
      Actions.  The Company and the Purchaser agree to execute and
      deliver such other documents and take such other actions as the other parties
      may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this
      Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

     

    6.5                     
      Indemnification. The
      Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, the officers,
      directors, agents and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any
      such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
      Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and
      employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted
      by
      applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
      liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees)
      and expenses (including the cost (including without limitation, reasonable
      attorneys’ fees) and expenses relating to an Indemnified Party’s (as defined
      below) actions to enforce the provisions of this Section 6.5)
      (collectively, “Losses”),
      as
      incurred, to the extent arising out of or relating to (i) any material
      misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the
      Company in the Transaction Documents, or (ii) any material breach of any
      covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction
      Documents, or (iii) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against
      such Indemnified Party and arising out of or
      resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the
      Transaction Documents executed pursuant hereto by any of the Indemnified
      Parties. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.5 is held
      by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party
      with respect to any Losses, then the Indemnifying Party (as defined below),
      in
      lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to
      the
      amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of Losses in such
      proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying
      Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection
      with the actions or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other
      relevant equitable considerations.  The Company shall notify the
      Purchaser promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding
      of
      which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated
      by
      this Agreement.

     (b)           Conduct
      of Indemnification
      Proceedings. If any proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any
      Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified
      Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the other
      party (the “Indemnifying
      Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the
      right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel
      reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees
      and
      expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, however,
      that the
      failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the
      Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement,
      except (and only) to the extent that such failure shall have materially and
      adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

     

    An
      Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
      proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
      of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties
      unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and
      expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the
      defense of such proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to
      such
      Indemnified Party in any such proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such
      proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified
      Party
      and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised
      by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel
      were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which
      case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing
      that
      it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party,
      the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof
      and the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for all Indemnified
      Parties in any matters related on a factual basis shall be at the expense of
      the
      Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any
      settlement of any such proceeding affected without its written consent, which
      consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without
      the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of
      any
      pending proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless
      such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party
      from
      all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
      proceeding.

     

    The
      indemnification obligations under this Section 6.5 are in
      addition to any indemnification or similar obligations under any other
      Transaction Document.

    7.      Other
      Obligations of the Parties.

     

    7.1                     
      Public
      Announcements.  The Company hereby agrees not to, and not to
      permit its Subsidiaries to, issue any press release, or otherwise make any
      public statements (collectively, “Press
      Releases”) with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby
      without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, except as may be required
      by
      law.  Furthermore, where the Company desires to issue any such Press
      Release, the parties agree to cooperate in good faith in order to prepare such
      Press Release in such form and substance as is agreeable to both
      parties.

     

    7.2                    
       Furnishing
      Information.  Each of the parties hereto will, as soon as
      practicable after reasonable request therefor, furnish all the information
      concerning it required for inclusion in any statement or application made by
      any
      of them to any governmental or regulatory body in connection with the
      transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     

    7.3                      
      Transfer
      Restrictions.

     

    (a)            The
      Underlying Shares may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal
      securities laws. In connection with any transfer of the Underlying Shares other
      than pursuant to an effective registration statement, or in connection with
      a
      pledge, as contemplated in Section 7.3(c)
      hereof, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company
      an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, 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 Underlying
      Shares under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, 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
      Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by Section 7.3(b),
      of a legend on any of the Underlying Shares in the following form:

     

    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 A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL
      TO
      THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT,
      THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE
      COMPANY.

    (c)            Certificates
      evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including the
      legend set forth in Section 7.3(b))
      (i) subsequent to the date the Commission declares effective a registration
      statement covering the resale of the Underlying Shares, (ii) following any
      sale of the Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such
      Underlying Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k).  The
      Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under
      and
      pursuant to this Section 7.3(c),
      it will, no later than two (2) Trading Days following the delivery by a
      Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a Note for
      conversion, a Warrant for exercise, a restricted stock certificate or a lost
      securities affidavit, if any, of such securities are lost, as the case may
      be,
      deliver to such Purchaser a certificate representing Underlying Shares that
      is
      free from all restrictive and other legends  (the “Deadline”).
      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.

     

    7.4                     
      Underlying Share
      Delivery Damages. In the event that a non-legended certificate for
      Underlying Shares is not received by a Purchaser by the Deadline, as partial
      compensation to the Purchaser for such loss as a result of such delivery delay,
      the Company shall pay (as liquidated damages and not a penalty) to the Purchaser
      for late issuance of the Underlying Shares an amount of $100 per business day
      after the Deadline for each $10,000 of principal amount of the Note being
      converted, and/or or $10,000 of market value (based upon the then stock price
      of
      the Company) of Underlying Shares of the Warrant being exercised for, as the
      case may be, which are not timely delivered.  The penalties in this
Section 7.4 are
      in addition to and shall not limit any other penalty provisions in the
      Transaction Documents and shall not limit the Purchaser’s right to collect other
      damages and/or remedies.

    


    7.5                      
      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 any of the
      Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities
      Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchaser or that would be integrated
      with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and
      regulations of any Trading Market.  The Purchaser and the Company
      agree that the current Registration Statement which has been filed with the
      SEC
      will be withdrawn and refiled.

     

    7.6                     
      Use of
      Proceeds. The Company covenants and agrees that the net proceeds that it

      Sky. The Company shall file a Form D with respect to the Securities
      as required under Regulation D under the Securities Act and, upon written
      request, provide a copy thereof to each Purchaser promptly after such filing.
      The Company shall, on or before the Closing, take such action as the Company
      shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for
      or
      to qualify any Securities for sale to the Purchaser pursuant to this
      Agreement under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the
      United States, and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the
      Purchaser on or prior to the Closing. The Company shall make all filings and
      reports relating to the offer and sale of the Securities required under
      applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States

      without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. The parties hereto
      hereby irrevocably agree that any suit or proceeding arising directly and/or
      indirectly pursuant to or under this Agreement, shall be brought solely in
      a
      federal or state court located in the City, County and State of New York. By
      its
      execution hereof, the parties hereby covenant and irrevocably submit to the
      in personam
      jurisdiction
      of the federal and state courts located in the City, County and State of New
      York and agree that any process in any such action may be served upon any of
      them personally, or by certified mail or registered mail upon them or their
      agent, return receipt requested, with the same full force and effect as if
      personally served upon them in New York City. The parties hereto waive any
      claim
      that any such jurisdiction is not a convenient forum for any such suit or
      proceeding and any defense or lack of inpersonam
      jurisdiction
      with respect thereto. In the event of any such action or proceeding, the party
      prevailing therein shall be entitled to payment from the other party hereto
      of
      all of its reasonable legal fees and expenses.

      reference purposes only and are to be given no effect in the construction or
      interpretation of this Agreement.  No provision of this Agreement will
      be interpreted in favor of, or against, any of the parties hereto by reason
      of
      the extent to which any such party or its counsel participated in the drafting
      thereof or by reason of the extent to which any such provision is inconsistent
      with any prior draft hereof or thereof.

      within the public domain prior to the time of disclosure of Corporate

      independently developed by the receiving party without any use or reference
      to
      the Corporate Information.

      survive the termination of this Agreement, either in whole or as to any party,
