          4.12 Litigation. Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.12, there is no action,
suit, proceeding, claim or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, currently
threatened against the Company which questions the validity of the Transaction Documents, or the
right of the Company to enter into any of them, or to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, or which would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or cause any change in the current equity ownership of the
Company, nor is the Company aware that there is any basis for the foregoing. The foregoing
includes, without limitation, actions, pending or threatened (or any basis therefor known to the
Company), involving the prior employment of any of the Company’s employees, their use in connection
with the Company’s business of any information or techniques allegedly proprietary to any of their
former employers, or their obligations under any agreements with prior employers. The Company is
not a party or subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment, or decree of any
court or government agency or instrumentality.

          (a) The Company has sufficient right, title and/or interest in, or has otherwise acquired use
rights with respect to all proprietary rights and processes and intellectual property owned by or
licensed to the Company (collectively, the “Intellectual Property”) necessary for its business as
now conducted and, to the best knowledge of the Company, without any conflict with or infringement
of the rights of others.




          (b) The Company has not received any communications alleging that the Company has violated or,
by conducting its business as currently conducted would violate any of the patents, trademarks,
service marks, trade names, copyrights, or trade secrets, or other proprietary rights of any other
person or entity. The Company is not aware that any of its



6









 






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 currently conducted. None of the execution
or delivery of the Transaction Documents, or the carrying on of the Company’s business as currently
conducted by the employees of the Company, or the conduct of the Company’s business as currently
conducted, 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.




          4.14 Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not in violation or default of
any provisions of its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or, of any
instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree, mortgage, indenture, lease, license or contract to which
it is a party or by which it is bound or, to its knowledge, of any provision of federal, state, or
local statute, rule, or regulation applicable to the Company, except as would not reasonably be
expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.




          4.15 Agreements.




          (a) All material written contracts, agreements, licenses, commitments, instruments and
understandings (“Disclosed Agreements”) are set forth in the Company’s public filings.




          (b) Each Disclosed Agreement is in full force and effect and constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of the Company and to the knowledge of the Company, the other parties thereto. Except
as set forth on Schedule 4.15(b), the Company has performed in all material respects the
obligations required to be performed by it, is not in material default and has not received notice
alleging it to be in default under any such Disclosed Agreement. Except as set forth on
Schedule 4.15(b), to the knowledge of the Company, there exists no event or condition
which, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a material default under any
Disclosed Agreement. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.15(b), to the knowledge of the
Company, there are no material defaults by any other party to any such Disclosed Agreement. The
Company has made available to the Purchaser correct and complete copies of all Disclosed
Agreements.




          4.16 Employment Matters.




          (a) The Company is in compliance with all federal, state and local laws and regulations
respecting the employment of its employees and employment practices, terms and conditions of
employment and wages and hours relating thereto, except where noncompliance, singly or in the
aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.


7









 







           (b) To the Company’s knowledge, there are no pending investigations involving the Company by
the Department of Labor or any other governmental agency responsible for the enforcement of
employment laws and regulations. To the Company’s knowledge, there is no unfair labor practice
charge or complaint against the Company pending before a Labor Relations Board or any strike,
picketing, boycott, dispute, slowdown or stoppage pending or, to the best of the Company’s
knowledge, threatened against or involving the Company. No questions concerning representation
exist respecting the employees of the Company and no collective bargaining agreement or
modification thereof is currently being negotiated by the Company. The Company is not liable for
any severance pay or other payments to any employee or former employee that remains unsatisfied
arising from the termination of employment, other than payments to be made under terms of any
contract with terminated employees or that would not reasonably be expected to have, either
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.




          (c) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.16(c) hereto, the Company neither maintains,
sponsors nor contributes to, nor is it required to contribute to, any program or arrangement that
is an “employee pension benefit plan,” an “employee welfare benefit plan,” or a “multi-employer
plan” as such terms are defined in Sections 3(2), 3(1) and 3(37), respectively, of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) (“ERISA Plans”). The Company does not
maintain or contribute to a defined benefit plan, as defined in Section 3(35) of ERISA.




          4.17 Governmental Proceedings. There are no outstanding orders, judgments or decrees
of any court, governmental agency or other tribunal, domestic or foreign, naming the Company and
enjoining the Company from taking, or requiring the Company to take, any action, or to which the
Company, its properties or business is bound or subject.




          4.18 Permits. The Company has all franchises, permits, licenses, and any similar
authority necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted by it, except for those
by which the lack thereof would not be reasonably expected to have, either individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. No such franchise, license or authority is scheduled to
expire or terminate sooner than one year from the date of this Agreement, except for those of which
the Company has no knowledge of any fact or circumstance that would make timely renewal or
replacement unreasonably difficult or expensive. The Company believes it can obtain, without undue
burden or expense, any similar authority for the conduct of its business as planned to be
conducted. The Company is not in default in any material respect under any of such franchises,
permits, licenses, or other similar authority.




          4.19 Compliance with Laws. The Company is in compliance with all Laws applicable to
its business as currently conducted, the violation of, or noncompliance with, which would
reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect
and the Company knows of no facts or set of circumstances which would give rise to any violation
of or noncompliance with such Law.

           4.20 Title to Property and Assets.




          (a) Schedule 4.20(a) sets forth all real property and material assets owned by the
Company. With respect to such real property and material assets the Company owns, such 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 ownership or use of such
property or assets.




          (b) Schedule 4.20(b) sets forth all real property and material assets leased by the
Company. With respect to the property and assets it leases, the Company is in compliance with such
leases and, to its knowledge, holds a valid leasehold interest free of any liens, claims, or
encumbrances.




          4.21 Taxes. The Company (i) has filed all tax returns that are required to have been
filed by it with all appropriate governmental agencies (and all such returns are true and correct);
and (ii) has paid all taxes or other assessments owed by it as indicated on such tax returns (other
than taxes the validity of which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings).
The assessment of any additional taxes for periods for which returns have been filed is not to the
Company’s knowledge expected to exceed the recorded liability therefor and, to the Company’s
knowledge, there are no material unresolved questions or claims concerning the Company’s tax
liability. To the Company’s knowledge, the Company’s tax returns have not been reviewed or audited
by any taxing authority. To the Company’s knowledge, there is no pending dispute with any taxing
authority relating to any of said returns which, if determined adversely to the Company, would
result in the assertion by any taxing authority of any valid deficiency in a material amount for
taxes. The Company has withheld or collected from each payment made to each of its employees the
amount of all taxes, including, but not limited to, income taxes, Federal Insurance Contribution
Act taxes and Federal Unemployment Tax Act taxes required to be withheld or collected therefrom,
and has paid the same to the proper tax receiving officers or authorized depositaries.




          4.22 Insurance. The Company has in full force and effect insurance policies in the
manner and amount customary in the industry for companies in similar businesses similarly situated.




          4.23 Ranking of the Series B Preferred. As of the date hereof, no capital stock of
the Company ranks senior to or pari passu with the Series B Preferred and the Company currently has
no obligation or agreements to issue any such capital stock.




          4.24 Memorandum. Neither the Confidential Offering Memorandum nor any Transaction
Documents, as of their respective dates, 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 and based on any
limitations or qualifications set forth therein relating to such statements, not misleading, except
that this representation and warranty does not apply to statements in or omissions from the
Confidential Offering Memorandum or Transaction Documents made in reliance upon and in



9









 






conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing by or on behalf of the
Investor for use therein.




          4.25 Blue Sky. The Company has caused or will cause to be timely filed with each
applicable jurisdiction corresponding to the residence of each Investor (as same has been provided
by such Investors) all appropriate documentation required for the registration of the Preferred
Shares and Warrants under applicable state law or required to secure an exemption from such
registration requirements.




          4.26 Current in SEC Filings. The Company has filed, in a timely fashion with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and is current with respect to such filings, all
reports, information statements, forms, correspondences and schedules required to be filed by it
pursuant to (i) Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, amended
(“Exchange Act”), (ii) the applicable rules and regulations thereunder, and (iii) any comments
requiring or requesting a response, directed to the Company by the SEC, and since July 13, 2005,
has maintained full compliance with the current public information requirements of Rule 144 and
Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or any similar successor to
such rule.




          4.27 Indebtedness. Schedule 4.27 hereto sets forth as of the date hereof all
outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or Indebtedness
for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement,
“Indebtedness” shall mean any liabilities for borrowed money in excess of $15,000. Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.




     5. Representations and Warranties of the Investor. Each of the Investors hereby
severally represent and warrant to the Company as of the date hereof that:



          5.1 Authorization. The Transaction Documents to which such Investor is a signatory
constitute valid and legally binding obligations of such Investor, enforceable in accordance with
their respective terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally, (b) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive
relief, or other equitable remedies, and (c) to the extent the indemnification provisions contained
in the Transaction Documents may be limited by applicable federal or state laws.




          5.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Notes, Rebate Warrants and Underlying
Securities will be acquired for investment for each Investor’s own account and not with a view to
the resale or distribution of any part thereof. Each Investor represents that it has full power
and authority to enter into this Agreement.




          5.3 No Public Market. Each Investor understands that no public market now exists for
the Notes, Conversion Shares and Rebate Warrants, and that the Company has made no assurances that
a public market will ever exist for such securities. Each Investor has substantial



10









 






experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies in similar stages as the Company so that
it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the
capacity to protect its own interests and bear the risk of the investment in the Company.




          5.4 Disclosure of Information. Each Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed the
Confidential Offering Memorandum and all exhibits thereto and has been given an opportunity to
request additional information. Each Investor acknowledges that it has received all the
information that it has requested relating to the Company and the purchase of the Preferred Shares
and Warrants. Each Investor further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and
receive answers from the management of the Company regarding the Company’s operations, assets and
financial results and terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase. The foregoing, however,
does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 5 of this
Agreement or the right of such Investor to rely thereon.




          5.5 Accredited Investor. Each Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning
of Rule 501 of Regulation D of the SEC, as presently in effect, and, in the case of an Investor
that is an entity, such entity is comprised entirely of equity owners that are accredited
investors.




          5.6 Restricted Securities. Each Investor understands that the Notes, Rebate Warrants
and Underlying Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities
laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public
offering, and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without
registration under the Act, only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, each
Investor represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands

     6. Certain Covenants and Obligations.



          6.1 Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the proceeds from the sale of the Notes for
working capital and general corporate purposes and for reasonable expenses to be incurred in
connection with the Offering.

          6.3 Board Rights. Upon issuance of the Series B Preferred upon conversion of the
Notes, the holders of the Series B Preferred shall have the right to appoint two directors
(“Preferred Directors”) to the Company’s Board of Directors. The Preferred Directors must be
approved by the Company prior to becoming directors, but the Company may not unreasonably withhold
its approval. The Company shall deliver to Juniper Venture LLC, as representative of the
Investors, written notice of such rejection within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt of notice
of his or her designation.  The Company’s failure to deliver such notice shall constitute the
Company’s waiver of the right set forth above to reject such Preferred Directors, provided however
that such would not constitute a waiver of any rights and remedies the Company may otherwise have
to remove a Preferred Director pursuant to the Company’s By-Laws or Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation or applicable law. At least one of the Preferred Directors shall be
appointed a member of the Company’s Compensation Committee, if one exists. The holders of the
Series B Preferred shall have the option in their sole discretion to irrevocably terminate the
right to appoint any of the Preferred Directors and instead have the right (during the same period)
to appoint Board observers (“Observers”). The Preferred Directors or Observers, as the case may be,
shall receive timely notice of all meetings (regardless of whether he shall be excluded from such
meeting as set forth below) including an agenda therefor to the extent one is provided to the
Board, in the same manner as members of the board and shall be reimbursed for all reasonable
expenses incurred in connection with his attendance at each meeting. The Company may exclude the
Observers from any scheduled meeting, or portion thereof, and require them to sign a non-disclosure
agreement in customary form. The Company shall deliver to the Preferred Directors or Observers the
minutes of each Board meeting and to the extent the Observers may have been excluded from any such
meeting, redacted to remove the information relating to such period of time during which the
Observers was excluded, as soon as such minutes are distributed to the other members of the Board
of Directors. The Company will indemnify the Preferred Directors or Observers, as the case may be,
in the same manner as its other directors, including the execution of a customary indemnification
agreement. The Company shall maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance in such amounts as may be
acceptable to the Company’s Board of Directors in their reasonable discretion, which insurance
shall cover the Preferred Directors. Section 6.4 below shall in no way restrict, amend or modify
the obligations of the Company set forth in this Section.




          6.4 Voting Agreement. Stuart B. Rekant, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the
“Stockholder”) and each of the Investors hereby agree that, commencing on the appointment of the
Preferred Directors and terminating on the five year anniversary of such appointment, (i) the
