      REPRESENTATIONS
        AND WARRANTIES

       

      3.1
        Representations and Warranties of the Company.
        Except
        as
        set forth in the Disclosure Schedules, which Disclosure Schedules shall be
        deemed a part hereof and shall qualify any representation or otherwise made
        herein to the extent of the disclosure contained in the corresponding section
        of
        the Disclosure Schedules, the Company hereby makes the following representations
        and warranties to each Purchaser:

       

      (a) Subsidiaries.
        All of
        the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company are set forth on
Schedule
        3.1(a).
        The
        Company owns, directly or indirectly, all of the capital stock or other equity
        interests of each Subsidiary free and clear of any Liens, and all of 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. If the Company has no subsidiaries,
        all
        other references to the Subsidiaries or any of them in the Transaction Documents
        shall be disregarded.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          8

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (b) Organization
        and Qualification.
        The
        Company and each of the Subsidiaries is an entity duly incorporated or otherwise
        organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
        jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization (as applicable), with the
        requisite power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and
        to
        carry on its business as currently conducted. Neither the Company nor any
        Subsidiary is in violation or default of any of the provisions of its respective
        certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational
        or
        charter documents. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified
        to
        conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other
        entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted
        or
        property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the
        failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could
        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,
        prospects 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.
        The
        Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and
        to
        consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the Transaction Documents
        and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The
        execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company
        and
        the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
        have
        been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and
        no
        further action is required by the Company, the Board of Directors or the
        Company’s stockholders in connection therewith other than in connection with the
        Required Approvals. Each Transaction Document has been (or upon delivery
        will
        have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance
        with
        the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation
        of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms,
        except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy,
        insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application
        affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws
        relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or
        other
        equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution
        provisions may be limited by applicable law.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          9

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (d) No
        Conflicts.
        The
        execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company
        and the consummation by the Company of the other transactions contemplated
        hereby and thereby do not and will not: (i) conflict with or violate any
        provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate or articles of
        incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, or (ii)
        conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse
        of
        time or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any
        Lien
        upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, or
        give
        to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation
        (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit
        facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt
        or
        otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary
        is a
        party or by which any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary
        is
        bound or affected, or (iii) subject to the Required Approvals, conflict with
        or
        result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction,
        decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which
        the
        Company or a Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities
        laws
        and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company or a
        Subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii)
        and
        (iii), such as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material
        Adverse Effect.

       

      (e) Filings,
        Consents and Approvals.
        The
        Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order
        of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court
        or
        other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other Person
        in
        connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of
        the
        Transaction Documents, other than (i) filings required pursuant to Section
        4.6,
        (ii) the filing with the Commission of the Registration Statement, (iii)
        the
        notice and/or application(s) to each applicable Trading Market for the issuance
        and sale of the Securities and the listing of the Underlying Shares for trading
        thereon in the time and manner required thereby and (iv) the filing of Form
        D
        with the Commission and such filings as are required to be made under applicable
        state securities laws (collectively, the “Required
        Approvals”).

       

      (f) Issuance
        of the Securities.
        The
        Securities are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance
        with
        the applicable Transaction Documents, will be duly and validly issued, fully
        paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens imposed by the Company
        other
        than restrictions on transfer provided for in the Transaction Documents.
        The
        Underlying Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Transaction
        Documents, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and
        clear
        of all Liens imposed by the Company other than restrictions on transfer provided
        for in the Transaction Documents. The Company has reserved from its duly
        authorized capital stock a number of shares of Common Stock for issuance
        of the
        Underlying Shares at least equal to the Required Minimum on the date hereof.

      (g) Capitalization.
        The
        capitalization of the Company is as set forth on Schedule
        3.1(g),
        which
Schedule
        3.1(g)
        shall
        also include the number of shares of Common Stock owned beneficially, and
        of
        record, by Affiliates of the Company as of the date hereof. The Company has
        not
        issued any capital stock since its most
        recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act,
        other
        than pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options under the Company’s
        stock option plans, the issuance of shares of Common Stock to employees pursuant
        to the Company’s employee stock purchase plans and pursuant to the conversion or
        exercise of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding as of the date of the most
        recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act. No Person has any
        right
        of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar
        right
        to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
        Except as a result of the purchase and sale of the Securities, there are
        no
        outstanding options, warrants, scrip rights to subscribe to, calls or
        commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights
        or
        obligations convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or giving
        any
        Person any right to subscribe for or acquire, any shares of Common Stock,
        or
        contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company
        or
        any Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common
        Stock
        or Common Stock Equivalents. The issuance and sale of the Securities will
        not
        obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities
        to any
        Person (other than the Purchasers) and will not result in a right of any
        holder
        of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset
        price under any of such securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital
        stock of the Company are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have
        been
        issued in compliance with all federal and state securities laws, and none
        of
        such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights
        or
        similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. No further approval
        or
        authorization of any stockholder, the Board of Directors or others is required
        for the issuance and sale of the Securities. There are no stockholders
        agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to
        the
        Company’s capital stock to which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge of
        the Company, between or among any of the Company’s stockholders.

       

      (h) SEC
        Reports; Financial Statements.
        The
        Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents
        required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange
        Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the two years
        preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required
        by
        law or regulation to file such material) (the foregoing materials, including
        the
        exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, being
        collectively referred to herein as the “SEC
        Reports”)
        on a
        timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and
        has
        filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension.
        As of
        their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects
        with
        the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, 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 the light of the
        circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 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 United States
        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.

      (i) Material
        Changes.
        Since
        the date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC
        Reports, except as specifically disclosed in a subsequent SEC Report filed
        prior
        to the date hereof, (i) there has been no event, occurrence or development
        that
        has had or that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
        Effect, (ii) the Company has not incurred any liabilities (contingent or
        otherwise) other than (A) trade payables and accrued expenses incurred in
        the
        ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (B) liabilities
        not required to be reflected in the Company’s financial statements pursuant to
        GAAP or disclosed in filings made with the Commission, (iii) the Company
        has not
        altered its method of accounting, (iv) the Company has not declared or made
        any
        dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its stockholders or
        purchased, redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or redeem any shares
        of
        its capital stock and (v) the Company has not issued any equity securities
        to
        any officer, director or Affiliate, except pursuant to existing Company stock
        option plans. The Company does not have pending before the Commission any
        request for confidential treatment of information. Except for the issuance
        of
        the Securities contemplated by this Agreement or as set forth on Schedule
        3.1(i),
        no
        event, liability or development has occurred or exists with respect to the
        Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective business, properties, operations
        or financial condition, that would be required to be disclosed by the Company
        under applicable securities laws at the time this representation is made
        or
        deemed made that has not been publicly disclosed at least one Trading Day
        prior
        to the date that this representation is made.

       

      (j) Litigation.
        There
        is no action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation
        pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting
        the
        Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties before or by
        any
        court, arbitrator, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority
        (federal, state, county, local or foreign) (collectively, an “Action”)
        which
        (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability
        of
        any of the Transaction Documents or the Securities or (ii) could, if there
        were
        an unfavorable decision, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material
        Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor any director
        or
        officer thereof, is or has been the subject of any Action involving a claim
        of
        violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim
        of
        breach of fiduciary duty. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the
        Company, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the
        Commission involving the Company or any current or former director or officer
        of
        the Company. The Commission has not issued any stop order or other order
        suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company
        or any Subsidiary under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act.

      (k) Labor
        Relations.
        No
        material labor dispute exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent
        with respect to any of the employees of the Company which could reasonably
        be
        expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company’s or its
        Subsidiaries’ employees is a member of a union that relates to such employee’s
        relationship with the Company or such Subsidiary, and neither the Company
        nor
        any of its Subsidiaries is a party to a collective bargaining agreement,
        and the
        Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their relationships with their
        employees are good. No executive officer, to the knowledge of the Company,
        is,
        or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment
        contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement
        or
        non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive
        covenant in favor of any third party, and the continued employment of each
        such
        executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
        to any
        liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its
        Subsidiaries are in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign
        laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms
        and
        conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to
        be in
        compliance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected
        to have a Material Adverse Effect.

       

      (l) Compliance.
        Neither
        the Company nor any Subsidiary (i) is in default under or in violation of
        (and
        no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse
        of
        time or both, would result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary
        under),
        nor has the Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it
        is in
        default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit
        agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or
        by
        which it or any of its properties is bound (whether or not such default or
        violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any order of any court,
        arbitrator or governmental body, or (iii) is or has been in violation of
        any
        statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority, including without
        limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws applicable to its business
        and all such laws that affect the environment, except in each case as could
        not
        have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
        Effect.

       

      (m) Regulatory
        Permits.
        The
        Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and
        permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory
        authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described
        in the
        SEC Reports, except where the failure to possess such permits could not
        reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material
        Permits”),
        and
        neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings
        relating to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          13

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (n) Title
        to Assets.
        The
        Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple
        to all
        real property owned by them and good and marketable title in all personal
        property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and
        the
        Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens
        as do
        not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere
        with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company
        and
        the Subsidiaries and Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes,
        the
        payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties. Any real
        property and facilities held under lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries
        are
        held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with which the
        Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance.

       

      (o) Patents
        and Trademarks.
        The
        Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent
        applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names,
        trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property
        rights and similar rights necessary or material for use in connection with
        their
        respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports and which the failure
        to
        so have could have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual
        Property Rights”).
        Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or
        otherwise) that any of the Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company
        or
        any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of any Person. To the
        knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable
        and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the
        Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken
        reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and
        value
        of all of their intellectual properties, except where failure to do so could
        not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
        Adverse Effect.

       

      (p) Insurance.
        Except
        as set forth on Schedule
        3.1(p),
        the
        Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial
        responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent
        and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries
        are
        engaged, including, but not limited to, directors and officers insurance
        coverage at least equal to the aggregate Subscription Amount. Neither the
        Company nor any 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 without a significant increase in cost.

       

      (q) Transactions
        with Affiliates and Employees.
        Except
        as set forth in the SEC Reports and on Schedule
        3.1(q),
        none of
        the officers or directors of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company,
        none of the employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction
        with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for services as employees,
        officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement
        providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of
        real
        or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from
        any
        officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any
        entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial
        interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner, in each case in
        excess
        of $60,000 other than for (i) payment of salary or consulting fees for services
        rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company
        and
        (iii) other employee benefits, including stock option agreements under any
        stock
        option plan of the Company.

      (r) Sarbanes-Oxley;
        Internal Accounting Controls.
        The
        Company is in material compliance with all provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley
        Act
        of 2002 which are applicable to it as of the Closing Date. The
        Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls
        sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed
        in
        accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii)
        transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
        statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability,
        (iii)
        access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or
        specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is
        compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate
        action
        is taken with respect to any differences. The Company has established disclosure
        controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
        15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures
        to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the
        reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
        summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s
        rules and forms. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the
        effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end
        of the period covered by the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under
        the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation
        Date”).
        The
        Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange
        Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of
        the
        disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the
        Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in
        the
        Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in
        the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
        materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
        reporting.

       

      (s) Certain
        Fees.
        Except
        as set forth on Schedule
        3.1(s),
        no
        brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company
        to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent,
        investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions
        contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Purchasers shall have no
        obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by
        or on
        behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that
        may
        be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
        Documents. 

       

      (t) Private
        Placement.
        Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set
        forth in Section 3.2, no registration under the Securities Act is required
        for
        the offer and sale of the Securities by the Company to the Purchasers as
        contemplated hereby. The issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder does
        not
        contravene the rules and regulations of the Trading Market.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          15

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (u) Investment
        Company.
        The
        Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt
        of
        payment for the Securities, will not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment
        company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
        The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become
        subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

       

      (v) Registration
        Rights.
        Other
        than each of the Purchasers, no Person has any right to cause the Company
        to
        effect the registration under the Securities Act of any securities of the
        Company.

       

      (w) Listing
        and Maintenance Requirements.
        The
        Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange
        Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge
        is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common
        Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification
        that
        the Commission is contemplating terminating such registration. The Company
        has
        not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice from any
        Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted
        to the
        effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance
        requirements of such Trading 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.

       

      (x) Application
        of Takeover Protections.
        The
        Company and the Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any,
        in
        order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business
        combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement)
        or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of
        incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of
        incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result
        of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising
        their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation
        as a
        result of the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership
        of the Securities.

       

      (y) Disclosure.
        Except
        with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions
        contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company confirms that neither
        it
        nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers
        or
        their agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes
        or
        might constitute material, nonpublic information. The Company understands
        and
        confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation in
        effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All disclosure furnished
        by
        or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company, its
        business and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure
        Schedules to this Agreement, is true and correct and does not contain any
        untrue
        statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary
        in
        order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances
        under
        which they were made, not misleading. The press releases disseminated by
        the
        Company during the twelve months preceding the date of this Agreement taken
        as a
        whole do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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
        when made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser
        makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the
        transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth
        in
        Section 3.2 hereof.

      (z) No
        Integrated Offering.
        Assuming
        the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in
        Section 3.2, neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person
        acting on its or their 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 cause this offering of the Securities to be integrated
        with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of (i) the Securities Act
        which
        would require the registration of any such securities under the Securities
        Act,
        or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval provisions of any Trading Market
        on
        which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated. 

       

      (aa) Solvency.
        Based
        on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing
        Date
        after giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the
        sale
        of the Securities hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets
        exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the
        Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent
        liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute
        unreasonably small capital to carry on its business 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, and (iii)
        the
        current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company
        would
        receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account
        all
        anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or
        in
        respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. 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 of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or
        circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization
        or
        liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction
        within one year from the Closing Date. Schedule
        3.1(aa)
        sets
        forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness
        of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary
        has
        commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness”
means
        (a) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000
        (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business),
        (b) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect
        of
        indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected
        in
        the Company’s balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by
        endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar
        transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (c) the present value
        of
        any lease payments
        in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance
        with GAAP. Neither
        the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any
        Indebtedness.

      (bb) Tax
        Status.
         
        Except
        for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably
        be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and each
        Subsidiary has filed all necessary federal, state and foreign income and
        franchise tax returns and has paid or accrued all taxes shown as due thereon,
        and the Company has no knowledge of a tax deficiency which has been asserted
        or
        threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary.

       

      (cc) No
        General Solicitation.
        Neither
        the Company nor any person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or
        sold
        any of the Securities by any form of general solicitation or general
        advertising. The Company has offered the Securities for sale only to the
        Purchasers and certain other “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule
        501 under the Securities Act.

       

      (dd) Foreign
        Corrupt Practices.
        Neither
        the Company, nor to the knowledge of the Company, any agent or other person
        acting on behalf of the Company, has (i) directly or indirectly, used any
        funds
        for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses
        related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful
        payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any
        foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds,
        (iii)
        failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company (or made by
        any
        person acting on its behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in violation
        of law, or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision of the Foreign
        Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

       

      (ee) Accountants.
        The
        Company’s accounting firm is set forth on Schedule
        3.1(ee)
        of the
        Disclosure Schedule. To the knowledge and belief of the Company, such accounting
        firm (i) is a registered public accounting firm as required by the Exchange
        Act
        and (ii) shall express its opinion with respect to the financial statements
        to
        be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (or 10-KSB) for the year
        ending December 31, 2007.

       

      (ff) Seniority.
        As of
        the Closing Date, no Indebtedness or other claim against the Company is senior
        to the Debentures in right of payment, whether with respect to interest or
        upon
        liquidation or dissolution, or otherwise, other than indebtedness secured
        by
        purchase money security interests (which is senior only as to underlying
        assets
        covered thereby) and capital lease obligations (which is senior only as to
        the
        property covered thereby).

       

      (gg) No
        Disagreements with Accountants and Lawyers.
        There
        are no disagreements of any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated
        by the Company to arise, between the Company and the accountants and lawyers
        formerly or presently employed by the Company and the Company is current
        with
        respect to any fees owed to its accountants and lawyers which could affect
        the
        Company’s ability to perform any of its obligations under any of the Transaction
        Documents.

       

      (hh) Acknowledgment
        Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities.
        The
        Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely
        in
        the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction
        Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Company further
        acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary
        of
        the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction
        Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given
        by any
        Purchaser or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection
        with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby
        is
        merely incidental to the Purchasers’ purchase of the Securities. The Company
        further represents to each Purchaser that the Company’s decision to enter into
        this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely
        on the
        independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company
        and its representatives.

      (ii) Acknowledgment
        Regarding Purchasers’ Trading Activity.
        Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary
        (except for Sections 3.2(f) and 4.15 hereof), it is understood and acknowledged
        by the Company that (i) none of the Purchasers has been asked to agree by
        the
        Company, nor has any Purchaser agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling,
        long and/or short, securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities based
        on securities issued by the Company or to hold the Securities for any specified
        term, (ii) past or future open market or other transactions by any Purchaser,
        specifically including, without limitation, Short Sales or “derivative”
transactions, before or after the closing of this or future private placement
        transactions, may negatively impact the market price of the Company’s
        publicly-traded securities, (iii) any Purchaser, and counter-parties in
“derivative” transactions to which any such Purchaser is a party, directly or
        indirectly, may presently have a “short” position in the Common Stock, and (iv)
        each Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control
        over
        any arm’s length counter-party in any “derivative” transaction. The
        Company further understands and acknowledges that (a) one or more Purchasers
        may
        engage in hedging activities at various times during the period that the
        Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods
        that the value of the Underlying Shares deliverable with respect to Securities
        are being determined and (b) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce
        the
        value of the existing stockholders' equity interests in the Company at and
        after
        the time that the hedging activities are being conducted.  The Company
        acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute
        a
        breach of any of the Transaction Documents.

       

      (jj) Regulation
        M Compliance. 
        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 of the Company 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.

      3.2 Representations
        and Warranties of the Purchasers.
        Each
        Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser hereby, represents and warrants
        as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as
        follows:

       

      (a) 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 partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate
        the
        transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry
        out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery
        of the
        Transaction Documents and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions
        contemplated by the Transaction Documents 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 general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
        reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting
        enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to
        the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable
        remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions
        may be
        limited by applicable law.

       

      (b) Own
        Account.
        Such
        Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have
        not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
        law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and
        not
        with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part
        thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
        law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in
        violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and
        has
        no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons
        to
        distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities (this representation
        and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant
        to the Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable
        federal
        and state securities laws) in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable
        state securities law. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder
        in
        the ordinary course of its business.

       

      (c) Purchaser
        Status.
        At the
        time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and at the date hereof
        it is, and on each date on which it exercises any Warrants or converts any
        Debentures it will be either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule
        501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii)
        a
“qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities
        Act. Such Purchaser is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under
        Section 15 of the Exchange Act.

       

      (d) Experience
        of Such Purchaser.
        Such
        Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such
        knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters
        so as
        to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment
        in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.
        Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the
        Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of
        such
        investment.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          20

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (e) General
        Solicitation.
        Such
        Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement,
        article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published
        in any
        newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio
        or
        presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general
        advertisement.

       

      (f) Short
        Sales and Confidentiality Prior To The Date Hereof.
        Other
        than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser
        has
        not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant
        to any understanding with such Purchaser, executed any purchases or sales,
        including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period
        commencing from
        the time
        that such Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the
        Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material
        terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder until the date hereof
(“Discussion
        Time”).
        Notwithstanding
        the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment
        vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such
        Purchaser's assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of
        the
        investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions
        of
        such Purchaser's assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply
        with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that
        made
        the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.
        Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement, such Purchaser has
        maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection
        with
        this transaction (including the existence and terms of this
        transaction).

       

      ARTICLE
        IV.

      OTHER
        AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

       

      4.1 Transfer
        Restrictions.

       

      (a) The
        Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal
        securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than
        pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company
        or
        to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated
        in
        Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide
        to the
        Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably
        acceptable to the Company, 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 Securities 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
        Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section
        4.1,
        of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:

       

      [NEITHER]
        THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [EXERCISABLE]
        [CONVERTIBLE]] HAS [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. THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON
        [EXERCISE] [CONVERSION] OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH
        A
        BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          21

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      The
        Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge
        pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer
        or
        grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial
        institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the
        Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement
        and the Registration Rights Agreement and, if required under the terms of
        such
        arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to
        the
        pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject
        to
        approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee,
        secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further,
        no
        notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense,
        the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee
        or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with
        a
        pledge or transfer of the Securities, including, if the Securities are subject
        to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation
        and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under
        the
        Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to
        appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders thereunder.

       

      (c) Certificates
        evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including
        the
        legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while a registration statement
        (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security
        is
        effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of such
        Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Underlying Shares
        are
        eligible for sale under Rule 144(k), 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 Commission).
        The
        Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer
        Agent
        promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Transfer Agent to effect
        the removal of the legend hereunder. If all or any portion of a Debenture
        or
        Warrant is converted or exercised (as applicable) at a time when there is
        an
        effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares,
        or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144(k) or if such legend
        is
        not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act
        (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff
        of
        the Commission) then such Underlying 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 4.1(c), it will, no later
        than
        three Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or
        the
        Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Underlying Shares, as applicable,
        issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend
        Removal Date”),
        deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser 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 the Transfer
        Agent
        that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section.
        Certificates for Underlying Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall
        be
        transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account
        of
        the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as
        directed by such Purchaser.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          22

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (d) In
        addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to
        a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty,
        for
        each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on
        the
        date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal
        of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading
        Day
        (increasing to $20 per Trading Day 5 Trading Days after such damages have
        begun
        to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such
        certificate is delivered without a legend. Nothing herein shall limit such
        Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver
        certificates representing any Securities as required by the Transaction
        Documents, and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies
        available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree
        of
        specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

       

      (e) Each
        Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees that
        such
        Purchaser 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, and acknowledges that the removal
        of the
        restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth
        in
        this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this
        understanding.

       

      4.2 Acknowledgment
        of Dilution.
        The
        Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution
        of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial
        under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its
        obligations under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation
        its
        obligation to issue the Underlying Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents,
        are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off,
        counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution
        or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless of
        the
        dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other
        stockholders of the Company.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          23

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      4.3 Furnishing
        of Information.
        Until
        the earliest of the time that no Purchaser owns Securities, the Company
        covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file
        within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the
        Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company
        is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. As
        long
        as any Purchaser owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file
        reports
        pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers
        and
        make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as
        is
        required for the Purchasers to sell the Securities under Rule 144. The Company
        further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of
        Securities may reasonably request, to the extent required from time to time
        to
        enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration under the
        Securities Act within the requirements of the exemption provided by Rule
        144.

       

      4.4 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 the Securities to
        the
        Purchasers in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities
        Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers or that would be integrated
        with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and
        regulations of any Trading Market.

       

      4.5 Conversion
        and Exercise Procedures.
        The
        form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants and the form of Notice
        of
        Conversion included in the Debentures set
        forth
        the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to exercise
        the Warrants or convert the Debentures. No additional legal opinion or other
        information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to exercise
        their Warrants or convert their Debentures. The Company shall honor exercises
        of
        the Warrants and conversions of the Debentures and shall deliver Underlying
        Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth
        in
        the Transaction Documents.

       

      4.6 Securities
        Laws Disclosure; Publicity.
        The
        Company shall by 8:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the (a) Trading Day following
        the date hereof, file a press release disclosing the material terms of the
        transactions contemplated hereby and (b) fourth Trading Day following the
        date
        hereof, issue a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the material terms
        of the
        transactions contemplated hereby and attaching the Transaction Documents
        as
        exhibits thereto. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each
        other
        in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions
        contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue
        any
        such press release or otherwise make any such public statement without the
        prior
        consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Purchaser,
        or
        without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release
        of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed,
        except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing
        party
        shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public
        statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
        not
        publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any
        Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading
        Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (i) as
        required by federal securities law in connection with (A) any registration
        statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and (B) the filing
        of final Transaction Documents (including signature pages thereto) with the
        Commission and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading
        Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers
        with
        prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (ii).

      4.7 Shareholder
        Rights Plan.
        No
        claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the
        Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any
        control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any
        distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or
        arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser
        could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement,
        by
        virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any
        other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.

       

      4.8 Non-Public
        Information.
        Except
        with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions
        contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company covenants and agrees
        that
        neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Purchaser
        or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes
        constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser
        shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and
        use of
        such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser
        shall
        be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities
        of
        the Company.

       

      4.9 Use
        of
        Proceeds.
        Except
        as set forth on Schedule
        4.9
        attached
        hereto, the Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities
        hereunder for working capital purposes and shall not use such proceeds for
        (a)
        the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of
        trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior
        practices), (b) the redemption of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
        or (c) the settlement of any outstanding litigation.

       

      4.10 Indemnification
        of Purchasers.
        Subject
        to the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company will indemnify and hold
        each
        Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners,
        employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent
        role
        of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any
        other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning
        of
        Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and
        the
        directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees
        (and
        any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding
        such
        titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such
        controlling person (each, a “Purchaser
        Party”)
        harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims,
        contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts
        paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of
        investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result
        of
        or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties,
        covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other
        Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against a Purchaser in
        any
        capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder
        of
        the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser, with respect to any
        of
        the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action
        is based upon a breach of such Purchaser’s representations, warranties or
        covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings
        such Purchaser may have with any such stockholder or any violations by the
        Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser
        which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance).
        If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of
        which
        indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party
        shall
        promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right
        to
        assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably
        acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right
        to
        employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense
        thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense
        of
        such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof
        has
        been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company
        has
        failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ
        counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such
        separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position
        of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the
        Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more
        than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser
        Party under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected
        without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably
        withheld or delayed; or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent that a
        loss,
        claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of
        any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such
        Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction
        Documents.

      4.11 Reservation
        and Listing of Securities.

       

      (a) The
        Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common
        Stock
        for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may
        be
        required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction
        Documents.

       

      (b) If,
        on
        any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved)
        shares of Common Stock is less than the Required Minimum on such date, then
        the
        Board of Directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the
        Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation to increase the number of
        authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the Required Minimum
        at such time, as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 75th
        day
        after such date.

       

      (c) The
        Company shall, if applicable: (i) in the time and manner required by the
        principal Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading Market an
        additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of Common
        Stock at least equal to the Required Minimum on the date of such application,
        (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares of Common Stock to be
        approved for listing on such Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter,
        (iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such listing, and (iv) maintain
        the
        listing of such Common Stock on any date at least equal to the Required Minimum
        on such date on such Trading Market or another Trading Market.

      4.12 Participation
        in Future Financing.
        

       

      (a) From
        the
        date hereof until the date that is the 12 month anniversary of the Effective
        Date, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common
        Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (a “Subsequent
        Financing”),
        each
        Purchaser shall have the right to participate in up to an amount of the
        Subsequent Financing equal to 100% of the Subsequent Financing (the
“Participation
        Maximum”)
        on the
        same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing.
        

       

      (b) At
        least
        5 Trading Days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the Company
        shall deliver to each Purchaser a written notice of its intention to effect
        a
        Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”),
        which
        Pre-Notice shall ask such Purchaser if it wants to review the details of
        such
        financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent
        Financing Notice”).
        Upon
        the request of a Purchaser, and only upon a request by such Purchaser, for
        a
        Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no later than
        1
        Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to
        such
        Purchaser. The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail
        the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended
        to be raised thereunder and the Person or Persons through or with whom such
        Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected and shall include a term
        sheet
        or similar document relating thereto as an attachment. 

       

      (c) Any
        Purchaser desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide
        written notice to the Company by not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City
        time)
        on the 5th
        Trading
        Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice that the Purchaser
        is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of the
        Purchaser’s participation, and that the Purchaser has such funds ready, willing,
        and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing
        Notice. If the Company receives no notice from a Purchaser as of such
        5th
        Trading
        Day, such Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it
        does
        not elect to participate.

       

      (d) If
        by
        5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 5th
        Trading
        Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, notifications
        by
        the Purchasers of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing
        (or to cause their designees to participate) is, in the aggregate, less than
        the
        total amount of the Subsequent Financing, then the Company may effect the
        remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the
        Persons
        set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. 

       

      (e) If
        by
        5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 5th
        Trading
        Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, the Company
        receives responses to a Subsequent Financing Notice from Purchasers seeking
        to
        purchase more than the aggregate amount of the Participation Maximum, each
        such
        Purchaser shall have the right to purchase its Pro Rata Portion (as defined
        below) of the Participation Maximum.  “Pro
        Rata Portion”
means
        the ratio of (x) the Subscription Amount of Securities purchased on the Closing
        Date by a Purchaser participating under this Section 4.12 and (y) the sum
        of the
        aggregate Subscription Amounts of Securities purchased on the Closing Date
        by
        all Purchasers participating under this Section 4.12.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          27

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (f) The
        Company must provide the Purchasers with a second Subsequent Financing Notice,
        and the Purchasers will again have the right of participation set forth above
        in
        this Section 4.12, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent
        Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth
        in
        such Subsequent Financing Notice within 60 Trading Days after the date of
        the
        initial Subsequent Financing Notice. 

       

      (g) Notwithstanding
        the foregoing, this Section 4.12 shall not apply in respect of (i) an Exempt
        Issuance or (ii) an underwritten public offering of Common Stock.

       

      4.13 Subsequent
        Equity Sales.
        

       

      (a) From
        the
        date hereof until 45 days after the Effective Date, neither the Company nor
        any
        Subsidiary shall issue (or enter into any agreement, discussions or letter
        of
        intent to issue) shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents;
provided,
        however,
        the 45
        day period set forth in this Section 4.13 shall be extended for the number
        of
        Trading Days during such period in which (i) trading in the Common Stock
        is
        suspended by any Trading Market, or (ii) following the Effective Date, the
        Registration Statement is not effective or the prospectus included in the
        Registration Statement may not be used by the Purchasers for the resale of
        the
        Underlying Shares. 

       

      (b) From
        the
        date hereof until the earlier of (x) the date the Debentures are no longer
        outstanding or (y) the 12 month anniversary of the Effective Date, the Company
        shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect
        any
        Subsequent Financing involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable
        Rate Transaction”
means
        a
        transaction in which the Company issues or sells (i) any debt or equity
        securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or
        include the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (A)
        at a
        conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or
        varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common
        Stock
        at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities,
        or (B)
        with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset
        at
        some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security
        or
        upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly
        related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock
        or
        (ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity
        line of
        credit, whereby the Company may sell securities at a future determined price.
        

       

      (c) Notwithstanding
        the foregoing, this Section 4.13 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt
        Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt
        Issuance. 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          28

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      4.14 Equal
        Treatment of Purchasers.
        No
        consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent
        to a
        waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents
        unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the
        Transaction Documents. Further, the Company shall not make any payment of
        principal or interest on the Debentures in amounts which are disproportionate
        to
        the respective principal amounts outstanding on the Debentures at any applicable
        time. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right
        granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each
        Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class
        and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert
        or as
        a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities
        or
        otherwise.

       

      4.15 Short
        Sales and Confidentiality After The Date Hereof.
        Each
        Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants
        that
        neither it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any
        understanding with it will execute any Short Sales during the period commencing
        at the Discussion Time and ending at the time that the transactions contemplated
        by this Agreement are first publicly announced as described in Section
        4.6. 
        Each
        Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants
        that
        until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly
        disclosed by the Company as described in Section 4.6, such Purchaser will
        maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction
        and
        the information included in the Disclosure Schedules.  Each Purchaser
        severally and not jointly with any other Purchaser acknowledges the positions
        of
        the Commission as set forth in Item 65, Section A, of the Manual of Publicly
        Available Telephone Interpretations, dated July 1997, compiled by the Office
        of
        Chief Counsel, Division of Corporation Finance. Notwithstanding
        the foregoing, no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant
        hereby that it will not engage in Short Sales in the securities of the Company
        after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first
        publicly announced as described in Section 4.6; provided,
        however, each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly with any other
        Purchasers, that they will not enter into any Net Short Sales (as hereinafter
        defined) from the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the
        date
        that is the earlier of (x) the 30 month anniversary of the Closing Date or
        (y)
        the date that such Purchaser no longer holds any Debentures. 
        For
        purposes of this Section 4.15, a “Net
        Short Sale”
by
        any
        Purchaser shall mean a sale of Common Stock by such Purchaser that is marked
        as
        a short sale and that is made at a time when there is no equivalent offsetting
        long position in Common Stock held by such Purchaser.  For purposes of
        determining whether there is an equivalent offsetting long position in Common
        Stock held by the Purchaser, Underlying Shares that have not yet been converted
        pursuant to the Debentures and Warrant Shares that have not yet been exercised
        pursuant to the Warrants shall be deemed to be held long by the Purchaser,
        and
        the amount of shares of Common Stock held in a long position shall be all
        unconverted Underlying
        Shares and
        unexercised Warrant Shares (ignoring any exercise limitations included therein)
        issuable to such Purchaser on such date, plus any shares of Common Stock
        or
        Common Stock Equivalents otherwise then held by such Purchaser. 
        Notwithstanding
        the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment
        vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such
        Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the
        investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions
        of
        such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with
        respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made
        the
        investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this
        Agreement.

      4.16 Form
        D; Blue Sky Filings.
        The
        Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as
        required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon
        request
        of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall
        reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or
        to
        qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing under
        applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and
        shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any
        Purchaser.

       

      4.17 Capital
        Changes.
        Until
        such time that the Debentures are no longer outstanding, the Company shall
        not
        undertake a reverse or forward stock split or reclassification of the Common
        Stock without the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding 75% of
        the
        principal amount outstanding of the Debentures.

       

      4.18 Insurance.
        Within
        90 days from the date hereof, the Company agrees to be insured by insurers
        of
        recognized financial responsibility for directors and officers insurance
        coverage in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in
        which
        the Company is engaged.

        This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s

        between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other
        parties, if the Closing has not been consummated on or before November 30,
        2007;
provided,
        however,
        that
        such termination will not affect the right of any party to sue for any breach
        by
        the other party (or parties).

        Agreement.
        The
        Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto,

        shall be as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto.

       

      5.5 Amendments;
        Waivers.
        No
        provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended
        except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the
        Company and the Purchasers of at least 67% in interest of the Securities
        still
        held by Purchasers or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom
        enforcement of any such waived provision is sought. No waiver of any default
        with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement
        shall
        be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent
        default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof,
        nor
        shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder
        in any
        manner impair the exercise of any such right.

       

      5.6 Headings.
        The
        headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this
        Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
        hereof.

       

      5.7 Successors
        and Assigns.
        This
        Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and
        their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this
        Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
        consent of each Purchaser (other than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign
        any
        or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser
        assigns or transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees
        in
        writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the
        provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the
“Purchasers.”

       

      5.8 No
        Third-Party Beneficiaries.
        This
        Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
        successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any
        provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set
        forth
        in Section 4.10.

       

      5.9 Governing
        Law.
        All
        questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
        of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced
        in
        accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard
        to
        the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal
        proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the
        transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents
        (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors,
        officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively
        in
        the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party
        hereby
        irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
        courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan for the
        adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
        transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect
        to
        the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably
        waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
        that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court,
        that
        such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for
        such
        proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process
        and
        consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by
        mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery
        (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices
        to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute
        good
        and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein
        shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other
        manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding
        to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing
        party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party
        for
        its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the
        investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or
        proceeding.

      5.10 Survival.
        The
        representations and warranties shall survive the Closing and the delivery
        of the
        Securities for the applicable statute of limitations.

       

      5.11 Execution.
        This
        Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when
        taken
        together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
        effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered
        to the
        other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same
        counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
        transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature
        shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on
        whose
        behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such
        facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

       

      5.12 Severability.
        If any
        term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court
        of
        competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the
        remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth
        herein
        shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired
        or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable
        efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or
        substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
        covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the
        intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms,
        provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that
        may be
        hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

       

      5.13 Rescission
        and Withdrawal Right.
        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting
        any
        similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any
        Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction
        Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations
        within
        the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw,
        in
        its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company,
        any
        relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice
        to its
        future actions and rights; provided,
        however,
        in the
        case of a rescission of a conversion of a Debenture or exercise of a Warrant,
        the Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock delivered
        in connection with any such rescinded conversion or exercise
        notice.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          32

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      5.14 Replacement
        of Securities.
        If any
        certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen
        or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
        substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation),
        or
        in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but
        only
        upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss,
        theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under
        such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including
        customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement
        Securities.

       

      5.15 Remedies.
        In
        addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted
        by
        law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company
        will
        be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The
        parties
        agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss
        incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction
        Documents and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert in any action for
        specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at
        law
        would be adequate. 

       

      5.16 Payment
        Set Aside.
        To the
        extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant
        to
        any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights
        thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement
        or
        exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be
        fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are
        required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee,
        receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation,
        any
        bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action),
        then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof
        originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full
        force
        and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff
        had not occurred.

       

      5.17 Usury.
        To the
        extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon
        or
        plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts
        to
        be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted,
        now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action
        or
        proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser in order to enforce any right
        or
        remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the
        contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and
        provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents
        for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful
        rate
        authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum
        Rate”),
        and,
        without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or
        default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in
        the
        nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the
        Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the
        maximum
        contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction
        Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental
        action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest
        allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents
        from the effective date forward, unless such application is precluded by
        applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess
        of the
        Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respect to
        indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be
        applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such
        indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess
        to be at such Purchaser’s election.

      5.18 Independent
        Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights.
        The
        obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several
        and not
        joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall
        be
        responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations
        of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained
        herein
        or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser
        pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership,
        an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a
        presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a
        group
        with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the
        Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently
        protect
        and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out
        of
        this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not
        be
        necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in
        any
        proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own
        separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction
        Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, Purchasers and
        their
        respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through FWS.
        FWS
        does not represent all of the Purchasers but only Enable. The Company has
        elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents
        for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested
        to do so by the Purchasers.

       

      5.19 Liquidated
        Damages.
        The
        Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts
        owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company
        and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other
        amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security
        pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due
        and
        payable shall have been canceled.

       

      5.20 Saturdays,
        Sundays, Holidays, etc. If
        the
        last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any
        right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action
        may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business
        Day.

       

      5.21 Construction.
        The
        parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed
        and
        had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the
        normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be
        resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation
        of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.

      5.22 Waiver
        of Jury Trial.
        In any action, suit or proceeding in any jurisdiction brought by any party
        against any other party, the parties each knowingly and intentionally, to
        the
        greatest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby absolutely, unconditionally,
        irrevocably and expressly waives forever trial by jury.
