delivery of this Agreement by such Investor, the performance by such Investor of

right, power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and all other
instruments (including, without limitations, the Registration Rights Agreement),
on behalf of the Investor.  This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by the Investor and, assuming the execution and delivery hereof and
acceptance thereof by the Company, will constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with
its terms.

transaction.  It recognizes that its investment in the Company
involves a high degree of risk.

Company.  The Investor 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.  The Investor 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 legal, tax or investment advice with respect to
this investment, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the
securities laws of any jurisdiction.

    


    Section

The securities are being purchased by the Investor for its own account, and for
investment purposes.  The Investor agrees not to assign or in any way

transfer except in accordance with applicable Federal and state securities
laws.  No other person has or will have a direct or indirect
beneficial interest in the securities.  The Investor agrees not to

decision.  The Investor 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 Investor or its advisors, if any, or its
representatives shall modify, amend or affect the Investor’s right to rely on
the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement.  The Investor understands that its investment involves a
high degree of risk.  The Investor is in a position regarding the
Company, which, based upon employment, family relationship or economic
bargaining power, enabled and enables such Investor to obtain information from
the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks of this
investment.  The Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax
advice, as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision
with respect to this transaction.

of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects
with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the
SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC
Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, 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 the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.  As of their respective dates, the financial statements of
the Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material
respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and
regulations of the SEC with respect thereto.  Such financial

material respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof
and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended

untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstance under which they are or were made and not misleading.

trust or other material instrument or agreement to which it is a party or by
which it is or its property is bound and neither the execution, nor the delivery
by the Company, nor the performance by the Company of its obligations under this
Agreement or any of the exhibits or attachments hereto will conflict with or
result in the breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or
constitute a default or result in the creation or imposition of any lien or
charge on any assets or properties of the Company under its Certificate of
Incorporation, By-Laws, any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other
material agreement applicable to the Company or instrument to which the Company
is a party or by which it is bound, or any statute, or any decree, judgment,
order, rules or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having
jurisdiction over the Company or its properties, in each case which default,
lien or charge is likely to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

    


    Section

Default.  Except for matters described in the SEC Documents
and/or this Agreement, no Event of Default, as defined in the respective
agreement to which the Company is a party, and no event which, with the giving

Effect.

adequate rights or licenses to use all material trademarks, trade names, service
marks, service mark registrations, service names, patents, patent rights,

similar rights of others, and, to the knowledge of the Company, there is no
claim, action or proceeding being made or brought against, or to the Company’s

trademark, trade name, patents, patent rights, invention, copyright, license,
service names, service marks, service mark registrations, trade secret or other
infringement; and the Company and its subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or
circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing.

its properties and material assets owned by it, free and clear of any pledge,

such as are not material to the business of the Company.  Any real
property and facilities held under lease by the Company and its subsidiaries are
held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions

Company and each of its subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized
financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as
management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses
in which the Company and its subsidiaries are engaged.  Neither the
Company nor any such subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought
or applied for and neither the Company nor any such subsidiary has any reason to
believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and
when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers
as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a
Materially Adverse Effect.

    


    Section

neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is subject to any charter,

Litigation.  Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, there is
no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court,
public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending

a material adverse effect on the transactions contemplated hereby (ii) adversely
affect the validity or enforceability of, or the authority or ability of the
Company to perform its obligations under, this Agreement or any of the documents
contemplated herein, or (iii) except as expressly disclosed in the SEC

    The
Investor and the Company represent to the other the following with respect to
itself:

    


    Section
5.01           Indemnification By the
Company.  In consideration of the Investor’s execution and
delivery of this Agreement, and in addition to all of the Company’s other
obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify
and hold harmless the Investor, and all of its officers, directors, partners,
employees and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively,
the “Investor
Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action,
suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and
expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Investor
Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is
sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified
Liabilities”), incurred by the Investor Indemnitees or any of them as a
result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach
of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or the
Registration Rights Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document
contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or
obligation of the Company contained in this Agreement or the Registration Rights
Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby
or thereby, or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against
such Investor Indemnitee not arising out of any action or inaction of an
Investor Indemnitee, and arising out of or resulting from the execution,
delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any other instrument,
document or agreement executed pursuant hereto by any of the Investor
Indemnitees.  To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the
Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum
contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified
Liabilities, which is permissible under applicable law.

    


    
      
        
           


        

        
           


          
            

          

        

        
           


        

      

    

    


    Section
5.02           Indemnification by the
Investor.  In consideration of the Company’s execution and
delivery of this Agreement, and in addition to all of the Investor’s other
obligations under this Agreement, the Investor shall defend, protect, indemnify
and hold harmless the Company and all of its officers, directors, shareholders,
employees and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively,
the “Company
Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities
incurred by the Company Indemnitees or any of them as a result of, or arising
out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation
or warranty made by the Investor in this Agreement, the Registration Rights
Agreement, or any instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby executed
by the Investor, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the
Investor(s) contained in this Agreement,  the Registration Rights
Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby
or thereby executed by the Investor, or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim
brought or made against such Company Indemnitee based
on  misrepresentations or due to a  breach by the Investor
and arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or
enforcement of this Agreement or any other instrument, document or agreement
executed pursuant hereto by any of the Company Indemnitees.  To the
extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Investor may be unenforceable for
any reason, the Investor shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and
satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities, which is permissible under
applicable law.

    


    Section
5.03           Procedure.  Promptly
after receipt by an Investor Indemnitee or a Company Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnified Party”)
of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any
governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such
Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any
indemnifying party under this Article V, deliver to the indemnifying party a
written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall
have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so
desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume
control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the
indemnifying party and the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided,
however, that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for such
Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable
opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by
such counsel of the Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such
Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such
proceeding. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying
party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim
by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all
information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party which relates to such
action or claim.  The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified
Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any
settlement negotiations with respect thereto.  No indemnifying party
shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected
without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying
party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its
consent.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into
any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional

              (b)

            	
              Authority.  The
      Company shall have obtained all permits and qualifications required by any

subject.

            


    

    


    
      	
            	
              (c)

            	
              Fundamental
      Changes. There shall not exist any fundamental changes to the
      information set forth in the Registration Statement which would require
      the Company to file a post-effective amendment to the Registration
      Statement.

            


    

    


    
      	
            	
              (d)

            	
              Performance by the
      Company.  The Company shall have performed, satisfied and
      complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and
      conditions required by this Agreement and the Registration Rights
      Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Company at or
      prior to each Condition Satisfaction
Date.

            


    

    


    
      	
            	
              (e)

            	
              No
      Injunction.  No statute, rule, regulation, executive
      order, decree, ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered,
      promulgated or endorsed by any court or governmental authority of
      competent jurisdiction that prohibits or directly and adversely affects
      any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no proceeding
      shall have been commenced that may have the effect of prohibiting or
      adversely affecting any of the transactions contemplated by this
      Agreement.

            


    

    


    
      	
            	
              (f)

            	
              No Suspension of
      Trading in or Delisting of Common Stock.  The Common
      Stock is trading on a Principal Market and all of the shares issuable
      pursuant to such Advance Notice will be listed or quoted for trading on
      such Principal Market (and the Company believes, in good faith, that
      trading of the Common Stock on a Principal Market will continue
      uninterrupted for the foreseeable future.  The issuance of
      shares of Common Stock with respect to the applicable Advance Notice will
      not violate the shareholder approval requirements of the Principal
      Market.  The Company shall not have received any notice
      threatening the continued listing of the Common Stock on the Principal
      Market.

            


    

    


    
      	
            	
              (g)

            	
              Maximum Advance
      Amount.  The amount of an Advance requested by the
      Company shall not exceed the Maximum Advance Amount.  In
      addition, in no event shall the number of shares issuable to the Investor
      pursuant to an Advance cause the aggregate number of shares of Common
      Stock beneficially owned by the Investor and its affiliates to exceed
      9.99% of the then outstanding Common Stock of the Company (“Ownership
      Limitation”).  Any portion of an Advance that would cause
      the Investor to exceed the Ownership Limitation shall automatically be
      withdrawn.  For the purposes of this section beneficial
      ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
      Exchange Act.

            


    

    


    
      
        
           


        

        
           


          
            

          

        

        
           


        

      

    

     

    
      	
            	
              (h)

            	
              Authorized.  There
      shall be a sufficient number of authorized but unissued and otherwise
      unreserved shares of Common Stock for the issuance of all of the shares
      issuable pursuant to such Advance
Notice.

      Notice.  The Investor shall have received the Advance
      Notice executed by an officer of the Company and the representations
      contained in such Advance Notice shall be true and correct as of each
      Condition Satisfaction Date.

      shall cause its officers, directors, employees and agents to refrain from
      disclosing, any material non-public information to the Investor without
      also disseminating such information to the public, unless prior to
      disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as
      being material non-public information and provides the Investor with the
      opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material non-public

      purchase stock in the Company in a public offering, to money managers or
      to securities analysts, provided, however, that notwithstanding anything
      herein to the contrary, the Company will, as hereinabove provided,

      if any, underwriters, of any event or the existence of any circumstance

      required to be stated therein in order to make the statements, therein, in
      light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
      misleading.  Nothing contained in this Section 8.01 shall be

      (without the written consent of the Investor prior to disclosure of such
      information) may not obtain non-public information in the course of
      conducting due diligence in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
      and nothing herein shall prevent any such persons or entities from

      such persons or entities, that the Registration Statement contains an
      untrue statement of material fact or omits a material fact required to be
