    2. BUYER’S
      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

     

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

     

    (a) Investment
      Purpose.
      Each
      Buyer is acquiring the Securities 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
      Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein,
      such Buyer reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in
      accordance with or pursuant to an effective registration statement covering
      such
      Securities or an available exemption under the Securities Act. Such Buyer does
      not presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly,
      with
      any Person to distribute any of the Securities. 


    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

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

     

    (c) Reliance
      on Exemptions.
      Each
      Buyer understands that the Securities 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 the
      Securities.

     

    (d) Information.
      Each
      Buyer and its advisors (and his or, its counsel), if any, have been furnished
      with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the
      Company and information he deemed material to making an informed investment
      decision regarding his purchase of the Securities, which have been requested
      by
      such Buyer. Each 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. Each Buyer understands that its investment in the Securities
      involves a high degree of risk. Each 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. Each
      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
      Securities.

     

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

     

    (f) Transfer
      or Resale.
      Each
      Buyer understands that except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement:
      (i) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the
      Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale,
      sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder,
      (B)
      such Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, 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, or (C) such Buyer provides the
      Company with reasonable assurances (in the form of seller and broker
      representation letters) that such Securities can be sold, assigned or
      transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities
      Act, as amended (or a successor rule thereto) (collectively, “Rule
      144”),
      in
      each case following the applicable holding period set forth therein; (ii) any
      sale of the Securities made in reliance on 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 the 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 Securities Act) may require
      compliance with some other exemption under the Securities 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 the Securities under the Securities
      Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions
      of
      any exemption thereunder. 


    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (g) Legends.
      Each
      Buyer agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 2(g),
      of
      a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:

     

    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 A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT
      REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. 

     

    Certificates
      evidencing the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend
      (including the legend set forth above), (i) while a registration statement
      (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security
      is
      effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Conversion
      Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Conversion Shares
      or Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, or (iv) if such legend
      is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including
      judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC).
      The
      Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s
      transfer agent promptly after the effective date (the “Effective
      Date”)
      of a
      Registration Statement if required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect the
      removal of the legend hereunder. If all or any portion of the Convertible
      Debentures or Warrants are exercised by a Buyer that is not an Affiliate of
      the
      Company (a “Non-Affiliated
      Buyer”)
      at a
      time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale
      of
      the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares, such Conversion Shares or Warrant
      Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following
      the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under
      this Section 2(g), it will, no later than three (3) Trading Days following
      the
      delivery by a Non-Affiliated Buyer to the Company or the Company’s transfer
      agent of a certificate representing Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as
      the
      case may be, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the
      “Legend
      Removal Date”),
      deliver or cause to be delivered to such Non-Affiliated Buyer 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 this Section. Each Buyer acknowledges that the Company’s agreement
      hereunder to remove all legends from Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares is
      not
      an affirmative statement or representation that such Conversion Shares or
      Warrant Shares are freely tradable. Each Buyer, severally and not jointly with
      the other Buyers, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from
      certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 3(g) is
      predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the buyer will sell any Securities
      pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
      including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption
      therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement,
      they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth
      therein.


    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (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.

     

    (i) Receipt
      of Documents.
      Each
      Buyer and his or its counsel has received and read in their entirety: (i) this
      Agreement and each representation, warranty and covenant set forth herein and
      the Transaction Documents (as defined herein); (ii) all due diligence and other
      information necessary to verify the accuracy and completeness of such
      representations, warranties and covenants; (iii) the Company’s Form 10-K for the
      fiscal year ended December 31, 2007; (iv) the Company’s Form 10-Q for the fiscal
      quarter ended March 31, 2008 and (v) answers to all questions each Buyer
      submitted to the Company regarding an investment in the Company; and each Buyer
      has relied on the information contained therein and has not been furnished
      any
      other documents, literature, memorandum or prospectus.

     

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

     

    (k) No
      Legal Advice From the Company.
      Each
      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. Each 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 legal, tax or investment advice with
      respect to this investment, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
      or
      the securities laws of any jurisdiction. 

     

    3. REPRESENTATIONS
      AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

     

    Except
      as
      set forth under the corresponding section of the Disclosure Schedules which

      interests of each subsidiary free and clear of any liens, and all the issued
      and
      outstanding shares of capital stock of each subsidiary are validly issued and
      are fully paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive and similar rights to
      subscribe for or purchase securities.

     

    (b) Organization
      and Qualification.
      The
      Company and its subsidiaries are corporations duly organized and validly
      existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they
      are
      incorporated, and have the requisite corporate power to own their properties
      and
      to carry on their business as now being conducted. Each of the Company and
      its
      subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and
      is in
      good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business
      conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that
      the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not have or
      reasonably be expected to result in (i) a material adverse effect on the
      legality, validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, (ii) a
      material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business or
      condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the subsidiaries, taken
      as
      a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform
      in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction
      Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material
      Adverse Effect”)
      and no
      proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting
      or
      curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority
      or
      qualification..

     

    (c) Authorization,
      Enforcement, Compliance with Other Instruments.
      (i) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter
      into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Convertible
      Debentures, the Warrants, the Security Documents, the Irrevocable Transfer
      Agent
      Instructions, and each of the other agreements entered into by the parties
      hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
      (collectively the “Transaction
      Documents”)
      and to
      issue the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, (ii)
      the
      execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the
      consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby,
      including, without limitation, the issuance of the Securities, the reservation
      for issuance and the issuance of the Conversion Shares, and the reservation
      for

      required by the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders, (iii)
      the
      Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Company,
      (iv)
      the Transaction Documents constitute the valid and binding obligations of the
      Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except
      as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or
      applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation
      or
      similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors’
rights and remedies. The authorized officer of the Company executing the
      Transaction Documents knows of no reason why the Company cannot file the

      laws, the Company is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order
      of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency
      in
      order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under or
      contemplated by this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement in
      accordance with the terms hereof or thereof. All consents, authorizations,
      orders, filings and registrations which the Company is required to obtain
      pursuant to the preceding sentence have been obtained or effected on or prior
      to
      the date hereof. The Company and its subsidiaries are unaware of any facts

      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

      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

      and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended
      (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit
      adjustments). No other information provided by or on behalf of the Company
      to
      the Buyers which is not included in the SEC Documents, including, without
      limitation, information referred to in Section 2(i) of this Agreement, contains
      any 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.



    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (h) 10(b)-5.
      The SEC
      Documents do not include any untrue statements of material fact, nor do they

      behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security
      or
      solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require
      registration of the Securities under the Securities Act or cause this offering
      of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for
      purposes of the Securities Act.

     

    (m) Employee
      Relations.
      Neither
      the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is involved in any labor dispute or,

      names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, approvals,
      governmental authorizations, trade secrets and rights necessary to conduct
      their
      respective businesses as now conducted. The Company and its subsidiaries do

      trademark, trade name rights, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions,
      licenses, service names, service marks, service mark registrations, trade secret
      or other similar rights of others, and, to the knowledge of the Company there

      license, service names, service marks, service mark registrations, trade secret
      or other infringement; and the Company and its subsidiaries are unaware of

      facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the
      foregoing.

     

    (o) Environmental
      Laws.

      real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and its
      subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases

      made
      and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company and its
      subsidiaries.

     

    (q) Insurance.
      The
      Company and each of its subsidiaries is 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 materially and
      adversely affect the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings,
      business or operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a
      whole.

      statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and

      subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in breach
      of
      any contract or agreement which breach, in the judgment of the Company’s

      amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations,
      except those being contested in good faith and has set aside on its books

      knowledge of the Company, any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity
      in
      which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest
      or
      is an officer, director, trustee or partner.

      subject to the Investment Company Act.

     

    (y) Registration
      Rights.
      Other
      than each of the Buyers, no Person has any right to cause the Company to effect
      the registration under the Securities Act of any securities of the Company.
      There are no outstanding registration statements not yet declared effective
      and
      there are no outstanding comment letters from the SEC or any other regulatory

      has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance
      with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Primary Market. The Company
      is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future
      continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance
      requirements.

      With a view to making available to the Buyer the benefits of Rule 144 or any
      similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Buyer
      to
      sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, and as a
      material inducement to the Buyer’s purchase of the Securities, the Company
      represents and warrants to the following: (i) the Company is, and has been
      for a
      period of at least 90 days immediately preceding the date hereof, subject to
      the
      reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (ii) the
      Company has filed all required reports under section 13 or 15(d) of the
      Exchange, as applicable, during the 12 months preceding the date hereof (or
      for
      such shorter period that the Company was required to file such reports), (iii)
      the Company is not an issuer defined as a “Shell Company,” and (iv) the Company
      is not an issuer that has been at any time previously an issuer defined as
      a
“Shell Company.” For the purposes hereof, the term “Shell Company” shall mean an
      issuer that meets the description defined in paragraph (i)(1)(i) of Rule
      144.


    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (cc) Disclosure. 
      The Company has made available to the Buyer and its counsel all the information
      reasonably available to the Company that the Buyer or its counsel have requested
      for deciding whether to acquire the Securities.  No representation or
      warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement (as qualified by the
      Disclosure Schedule) or any of the other Transaction Documents, and no
      certificate furnished or to be furnished to the Buyer at the Closing, or any
      due
      diligence evaluation materials furnished by the Company or on behalf of the
      Company, including without limitation, due diligence questionnaires, or any
      other documents, presentations, correspondence, or information contains any
      untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary
      in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading
      in
      light of the circumstances under which they were made.

     

    (dd) Manipulation
      of Price. 
      The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has,
      (i)
      taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in
      the
      stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to
      facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold, bid for,
      purchased, or, paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the
      Securities, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for
      soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Company, other than,
      in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), compensation paid to the Company’s
      placement agent in connection with the placement of the Securities.

     

    (ee) Dilutive
      Effect.
      The
      Company understands and acknowledges that the number of Conversion Shares
      issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures and the Warrant Shares
      issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will increase in certain circumstances.
      The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue Conversion Shares
      upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures in accordance with this Agreement
      and the Convertible Debentures and its obligation to issue the Warrant Shares
      upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with this Agreement and the
      Warrants, in each case, is absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive
      effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other
      stockholders of the Company.

     

    4. COVENANTS.

     

    (a) Best
      Efforts.
      Each

      or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide
      evidence of any such action so taken to the Buyers on or prior to the Closing
      Date.


    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (c) Reporting
      Status.
      With a
      view to making available to the Buyer the benefits of Rule 144 or any similar
      rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Buyer to sell
      securities of the Company to the public without registration, and as a material
      inducement to the Buyer’s purchase of the Securities, the Company represents,
      warrants, and covenants to the following: 

     

    (i) The
      Company is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of
      the
      Exchange Act and has filed all required reports under section 13 or 15(d) of
      the
      Exchange Act during the 12 months prior to the date hereof (or for such shorter
      period that the issuer was required to file such reports), other than Form
      8-K
      reports; 

     

    (ii) from
      the
      date hereof until all the Securities either have been sold by the Buyer, or
      may
      permanently be sold by the Buyer without any restrictions pursuant to Rule
      144,
      (the “Registration
      Period”)
      the
      Company shall file with the SEC in a timely manner all required reports under
      section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and such reports shall conform to the
      requirement of the Exchange Act and the SEC for filing thereunder; 

     

    (iii) The
      Company shall furnish to the Buyer so long as the Buyer owns Securities,
      promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has
      complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, (ii) a copy of the most
      recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and
      documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may
      be
      reasonably requested to permit the Buyers to sell such securities pursuant
      to
      Rule 144 without registration; and 

     

    (iv) During
      the Registration Period the Company 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 otherwise permit such
      termination.

     

    (d) Use
      of
      Proceeds.
      The
      Company will use the proceeds from the sale of the Convertible Debentures in
      accordance with the terms of the budget attached hereto as Exhibit
      D
      (the
“Budget”)
      and
      shall not deviate from any line item of the Budget by more than ten percent
      without the written consent of the Buyer. The Company represents that the
      proceeds of the sale of the Convertible Debentures will provide sufficient
      capital for the Company to cover its cash burn rate and fully fund its current
      business plan until at least September 30, 2009. Within 90 days of the date
      hereof the Company and the Buyer shall work towards preparing an agreed upon
      reduced Budget that will fully fund the Company through December 31,
      2009.


    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (e) Reservation
      of Shares.
      Upon
      the written request of the Buyers, the Company shall take all action reasonably
      necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of
      issuance, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to effect
      the full conversion of the Convertible Debentures that have been issued
      hereunder and the full exercise of the Warrants issued hereunder (the
“Share
      Reserve”).
      If at
      any time the Share Reserve is insufficient to effect the full conversion of
      the
      Convertible Debentures then outstanding or the full exercise of the Warrants
      outstanding, the Company shall increase the Share Reserve accordingly. If the
      Company does not have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock
      available to increase the Share Reserve, the Company shall call and hold a
      special meeting of the shareholders within thirty (30) days of notice from
      the
      Buyers, for the sole purpose of increasing the number of shares authorized.
      The
      Company’s management shall recommend to the shareholders to vote in favor of
      increasing the number of shares of Common Stock authorized. Management shall
      also vote all of its shares in favor of increasing the number of authorized
      shares of Common Stock. Furthermore, in the event that the par value for the
      Company’s stock is greater than the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock for 5
      consecutive Trading Days, the Company shall promptly reduce the par value of
      its
      Common Stock to $0.0001 or less or such number as may be permitted under
      applicable law.

     

    (f) Listings
      or Quotation.
      The
      Company’s Common Stock shall be listed or quoted for trading on any of (a) the
      American Stock Exchange, (b) New York Stock Exchange, (c) the Nasdaq Global
      Market, (d) the Nasdaq Capital Market, or (e) the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board
      (which does not include the Pink Sheets LLC) (“OTCBB”)
      (each,
      a “Primary
      Market”).
      The
      Company shall promptly secure the listing of all of the Registrable Securities
      (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) upon each national securities
      exchange and automated quotation system, if any, upon which the Common Stock
      is
      then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain such
      listing of all Registrable Securities from time to time issuable under the
      terms
      of the Transaction Documents. 

     

    (g) Fees
      and Expenses. 

     

    (i) The
      Company shall pay all of its costs and expenses incurred by it connection with
      the negotiation, investigation, preparation, execution and delivery of the
      Transaction Documents. 

     

    (ii) The
      Company shall place into escrow $200,000 upon the First Closing, an additional
      $200,000 upon the Second Closing, and an additional $350,000 upon the Third
      Closing directly from the proceeds of such Closing (collectively, the
“Monitoring
      Fees,”
and
      as
      deposited into escrow, the “Escrow
      Funds”)
      which
      shall be used to compensate Yorkville Advisors LLC (“Investment
      Manager”)
      for
      monitoring and managing the purchase and investment made by YA Global
      Investments, L.P. (“YA
      Global”)
      described herein, pursuant to the Investment Manager’s existing advisory
      obligations to YA Global. The Company, Investment Manager, and YA Global shall
      enter into an Escrow Agreement of even date herewith in the form attached hereto
      as Exhibit E (the “Escrow
      Agreement”)
      appointing an escrow agent (the “Escrow
      Agent”)
      to
      hold the Escrow Funds and to periodically disburse portions of such Escrow
      Funds
      to the Investment Manager from escrow in accordance with the terms of the Escrow
      Agreement. The Investment Manager shall periodically receive portions of the
      Escrow Funds in accordance with the Escrow Agreement until either: (1) the
      Escrow Funds shall have been fully disbursed pursuant the Escrow Agreement
      or
      (2) the Securities shall have been Fully Retired. “Fully Retired” shall mean
      that the Buyer shall have fully disposed of all the Securities issued or
      issuable hereunder, shall no longer have any investment in, or ownership of,
      any
      of the Securities, all amounts owed to YA Global under the Transaction Documents
      shall have been paid, and the Transaction Documents shall have been terminated.
      When the Securities are Fully Retired, the remaining Escrow Funds shall be
      returned to the Company or otherwise disbursed in accordance with the Escrow
      Agreement.


    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (iii) The
      Company shall pay a structuring and due diligence fee to Yorkville of $90,000,
      of which $40,000 shall be paid directly from the proceeds of the First Closing,
      $20,000 shall be paid directly from the proceeds of the Second Closing, and
      $40,000 shall be paid directly from the proceeds of the Third Closing. The
      structuring and due diligence fees paid shall be nonrefundable.

     

    (h) Corporate
      Existence.
      So long
      as any of the Convertible Debentures remain 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
      Change”)
      unless, prior to the consummation an Organizational Change, the Company obtains
      the written consent of each Buyer. In any such case, the Company will make
      appropriate provision with respect to such holders’ rights and interests to
      insure that the provisions of this Section 4(h) will thereafter be applicable
      to
      the Convertible Debentures.

     

    (i) Transactions
      With Affiliates.
      So long
      as any Convertible Debentures are outstanding, the Company shall not, and shall
      cause each of its subsidiaries not to, enter into, amend, modify or supplement,

      agreement, transaction, commitment, or arrangement with any of its or any
      subsidiary’s officers, directors, person who were officers or directors at any
      time during the previous two (2) years, stockholders who beneficially own five

      or
      with any individual related by blood, marriage, or adoption to any such
      individual or with any entity in which any such entity or individual owns a

      except for (a) customary employment arrangements and benefit programs on
      reasonable terms, (b) any investment in an Affiliate of the Company, (c) any
      agreement, transaction, commitment, or arrangement on an arms-length basis

      commitment, or arrangement which is approved by a majority of the disinterested
      directors of the Company; for purposes hereof, any director who is also an
      officer of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall not be a
      disinterested director with respect to any such agreement, transaction,
      commitment, or arrangement. “Affiliate”

      purposes hereof means that a person or entity has the power, direct or indirect,
      to conduct or govern the policies of another person or entity.

     

    (j) Transfer

      The
      Company covenants and agrees that, in the event that the Company’s agency
      relationship with the transfer agent should be terminated for any reason prior

      immediately appoint a new transfer agent and shall require that the new transfer
      agent execute and agree to be bound by the terms of the Irrevocable Transfer
      Agent Instructions (as defined herein).

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (k) Restriction
      on Issuance of the Capital Stock.

    (l) Neither
      the Buyer(s) nor any of its affiliates have an open short position in the Common
      Stock of the Company, and the Buyer(s) agrees that it shall not, and that it
      will cause its affiliates not to, engage in any short sales of or hedging
      transactions with respect to the Common Stock as long as any Convertible
      Debentures shall remain outstanding. 

     

    (m) Rights
      of First Refusal.
      So
      long
      as any portion of Convertible Debentures are outstanding, if the Company intends
      to raise additional capital by the issuance or sale of capital stock of the
      Company, including without limitation shares of any class of common stock,

      reject all or a portion of such capital raising offer. 

     

    (n) Lockup
      Agreements.
      On the
      date hereof, the Company shall obtain from each officer and director a lockup
      agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit

    (r) Further
      Assurances.
      At any
      time or from time to time upon the request of the Buyer, the Company will,

    5. TRANSFER
      AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.

     

    (a) The
      Company shall issue the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions to its transfer
      agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, irrevocably appointing David Gonzalez,
      Esq. as the Company’s agent for purpose instructing its transfer agent to issue
      certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at The
      Depository Trust Company (“DTC”),
      registered in the name of each Buyer or its respective nominee(s), for the
      Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares issued upon conversion of the
      Convertible Debentures or exercise of the Warrants as specified from time to
      time by each Buyer to the Company upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures
      or exercise of the Warrants. The Company shall not change its transfer agent
      without the express written consent of the Buyers, which may be withheld by
      the
      Buyers in their sole discretion. 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 or Warrant Shares prior to registration of such
      shares under the Securities Act) will be given by the Company to its transfer
      agent, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the
      books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement
      and the other Transaction Documents. If a Buyer effects a sale, assignment
      or
      transfer of the Securities in accordance with Section 2(f), the Company shall
      promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates or credit
      shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such
      denominations as specified by such Buyer to effect such sale, transfer or
      assignment and, with respect to any transfer, shall permit the transfer. In
      the
      event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves Conversion Shares or
      Warrant Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective
      registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144, the transfer agent shall issue
      such Securities to the Buyer, assignee or transferee, as the case may be,
      without any restrictive legend. 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. 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(s) 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.

    (l) Termination.
      In the
      event that the First Closing shall not have occurred with respect to the Buyers
      on or before five (5) business days from the date hereof due to the Company’s or
      the Buyer’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 6 and 7
      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
      date without liability of any party to any other party; provided, however,
      that
      if this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to this Section 9(l),
      the Company shall remain obligated to reimburse the Buyer(s) for the fees and
      expenses of Yorkville Advisors LLC described in Section 4(g) above (other than
      the amounts set forth in Section 4(g)(ii)).
