      to
      purchase the Securities at the Closing.

     

     

    ARTICLE
      III.

    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.

     

     

    
 

    
      
        
          
          

        

        
          11

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    

    


    (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.

     

    


     

    


    
      
        
          
          

        

        
          12

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    

    


    (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.

     

    (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.  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, 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.  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.

     

    (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.

     

    


     

    


    
      
        
          
          

        

        
          15

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    

    


    (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 next Annual Report 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.

     

    (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).

    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. Upon
      a
      cashless exercise of the Warrant, the holding period for purposes of Rule 144
      shall tack back to the original date of issuance of such Warrant.

     

    (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.

    (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.

     

    4.3       Furnishing
      of Information.  Until 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 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.

    (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.

              Participation
                in Future Financing.

            


    

     

    (a)        From
      the date hereof until the date that the Debentures are no longer outstanding,
      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.

     

    


     

    


    
      
        
          
          

        

        
          26

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    

    


    (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.

     

    (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.

    (a)        From
      the date hereof until 90 days after the Effective Date, neither the Company
      nor
      any Subsidiary shall issue shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents;
      provided, however, the 90 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 such time as no Purchaser holds any of the Securities,
      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.

     

    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.  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 the one year anniversary of the Effective Date,
      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 a majority in principal amount outstanding of the
      Debentures.

     

    4.18      Most
      Favored Nation Provision.  From the date hereof until such time
      that the Debentures are no longer outstanding, if the Company effects a
      Subsequent Financing, each Purchaser may elect, in its sole discretion, to
      exchange all or some of the Debentures then held by such Purchaser for any
      securities issued in a Subsequent Financing on a $1.00 for $1.00 basis based
      on
      the outstanding principal amount of such Debentures, along with any liquidated
      damages and other amounts owing thereon, and the effective price at which such
      securities are to be sold in such Subsequent Financing; provided,
however, that this Section 4.18 shall not apply with respect to (i)
      an
      Exempt Issuance or (ii) an underwritten public offering of Common Stock. The
      Company shall provide each Purchaser with notice of any such Subsequent
      Financing in the manner set forth in Section 4.12.

     

    4.19      Canadian
      Assets.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the filings necessary
      to perfect the first priority security interests granted to the Purchasers
      pursuant to the Security Agreement in the Company’s rights to the mining properties known as the
“Elliot
      Lake South Project”, the “Longlac Project” and the “Monmouth Project”, all
      located in Ontario Canada and further described on the Mineral Lease Agreements
      attached to the Company’s filing on Form 8-K with the Commission on October 3,
      2007 as Exhibits 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 respectively, and described on Schedule A to the
      Security
      Agreement shall not be made on the Closing Date (such required filings, the
      “Canadian Security Interest Filings”).  The Company hereby agrees to
      use its best efforts (including, without limitation, the payment of all fees
      and
      expenses in connection therewith, and full cooperation with local counsel to
      the
      Purchasers) to deliver evidence of Canadian Security Interest Filings as soon
      as
      practicable following the Closing Date.   Failure to deliver the
      Purchasers evidence of the perfection of the Canadian Security Interest Filings
      for any reason on or before the 45th calendar
      day
      following the Closing Date shall constitute an event of default under the
      Debentures.  In addition, the Purchasers shall be entitled to withhold an
      aggregate of $250,000 of their Subscription Amount hereunder to ensure the
      timely preparation and filing of all Canadian Security Interest Filings, and
      shall not be required to pay such amounts (net of any unpaid fees and expenses
      in connection with the Canadian Security Interest Filings) to the Company unless
      they have received evidence of the perfection of the Canadian Security Interest
      Filings on or before the 45th calendar
      day
      following the Closing Date.  Further, notwithstanding anything to the
      contrary contained in the Debentures or any Transaction Document, the Company
      and its Subsidiaries shall be prohibited from incurring indebtedness of any
      nature (including under clauses (b) and (c) of the definition of Permitted
      Indebtedness under the Debentures) unless and until evidence of the Canadian
      Security Interest Filings have been delivered to the Purchasers.

      Lock-Up Agreements.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the
      Lock-Up Agreement of Erin Green will not be delivered on the Closing
      Date.  The Company hereby agrees to deliver such Lock-Up Agreement
      within 10 Business Days of the Closing Date.

     

    4.21     Directors
      and Officers Insurance Coverage.  The Company hereby agrees to use
      its reasonable best efforts to obtain directors and officers insurance coverage
      within 60 Business Days of the Closing Date, with a coverage amount of at least
      $1,000,000.

     

    4.22     Gravhaven
      Trust Note.  The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable
      best efforts to obtain a subordination agreement acceptable to the Purchasers
      from Gravhaven Trust with respect to that certain convertible promissory note
      for $500,000 dated October 30, 2007 and disclosed on Schedule 3.1(aa)
      hereto (the “Gravhaven Note”), as soon as practicable following the
      Closing Date.  The Company hereby agrees that so long as the
      Debentures are outstanding, neither it, nor any Subsidiary will amend the
      Gravhaven Note or make any cash payments thereunder unless and until the holder
      thereof has executed subordination agreement in favor of, and acceptable to,
      the
      Purchasers.

    MISCELLANEOUS

     

    5.1       Termination. 
      This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s
      obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations
      between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other
      parties, if the Closing has not been consummated on or before December 5, 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).

     

    5.2       Fees
      and Expenses.  At the Closing, the Company has agreed to reimburse

      $30,000 for its legal fees and expenses, none of which has been paid prior
      to
      the Closing.  The Company shall deliver to each Purchaser, prior to
      the Closing, a completed and executed copy of the Closing Statement attached
      hereto as Annex A.  Except as expressly set forth in the
      Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and
      expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and
      all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation,
      preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this
      Agreement.  The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees, stamp taxes
      and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any
      Securities to the Purchasers.

    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 85% 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, that 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.

     

    


     

    


    
      
        
          
          

        

        
          33

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    

    


    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.
