      mandated in Section 2.3, and specifically the Company fails to deliver to the
      Investor on the Advance Date the shares of Common Stock corresponding to the
      applicable Advance pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(i), the Company acknowledges

      Date:

     

    Section

      and Authorization. The Investor is duly incorporated or organized and validly
      existing in the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and has all
      requisite power and authority to purchase and hold the securities issuable

      hereby have been duly authorized and requires no other proceedings on the part
      of the Investor. The undersigned has the right, power and authority to execute
      and deliver this Agreement and all other instruments (including, without
      limitations, the Registration Rights Agreement), on behalf of the Investor.
      This
      Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Investor and, assuming
      the
      execution and delivery hereof and acceptance thereof by the Company, will
      constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Investor, enforceable
      against the Investor in accordance with its terms.

     

    Section
      3.2. Evaluation
      of Risks. The Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax
      and
      business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of, and
      bearing the economic risks entailed by, an investment in the Company and of
      protecting its interests in connection with this transaction. It recognizes
      that
      its investment in the Company involves a high degree of risk.

     

    Section
      3.3. No
      Legal
      Advice From the Company. The Investor acknowledges that it had the opportunity
      to review this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
      with his or its own legal counsel and investment and tax advisors. The Investor
      is relying solely on such counsel and advisors and not on any statements or
      representations of the Company or any of its representatives or agents for
      legal, tax or investment advice with respect to this investment, the
      transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the securities laws of any
      jurisdiction.

     

    Section
      3.4. Investment
      Purpose. The securities are being purchased by the Investor for its own account,
      and for investment purposes. The Investor agrees not to assign or in any way
      transfer the Investor’s rights to the securities or any interest therein and
      acknowledges that the Company will not recognize any purported assignment or
      transfer except in accordance with applicable Federal and state securities
      laws.

      the Investor’s securities unless the securities are registered under Federal and
      applicable state securities laws or unless, in the opinion of counsel
      satisfactory to the Company, an exemption from such laws is
      available.

      with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the
      Company and information it deemed material to making an informed investment
      decision. The Investor and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the
      opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its management. Neither such
      inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Investor
      or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect
      the Investor’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties
      contained in this Agreement. The Investor understands that its investment
      involves a high degree of risk. The Investor is in a position regarding the
      Company, which, based upon employment, family relationship or economic
      bargaining power, enabled and enables such Investor to obtain information from
      the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks of this investment. The
      Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice, as it has considered
      necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to this
      transaction.

      in which the Company and its subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company
      nor
      any such subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied
      for and neither the Company nor any such subsidiary has any reason to believe
      that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when

      be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not materially and

      Company or its subsidiaries. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, neither
      the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in breach of any contract or

      any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the

      this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or any other certificate,
      instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby executed by the Investor,
      or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Company
      Indemnitee based on misrepresentations or due to a breach by the Investor and
      arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or
      enforcement of this Agreement or any other instrument, document or agreement
      executed pursuant hereto by any of the Company Indemnitees. To the extent that
      the foregoing undertaking by the Investor may be unenforceable for any reason,
      the Investor shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction
      of each of the Indemnified Liabilities, which is permissible under applicable

    Conditions
      for Advance and Conditions to Closing

     

    Section
      7.1. Conditions
      Precedent to the Obligations of the Company. The obligation hereunder of the
      Company to issue and sell the shares of Common Stock to the Investor incident
      to
      each Closing is subject to the satisfaction, or waiver by the Company, at or
      before each such Closing, of each of the conditions set forth
      below.

     

    (a) Accuracy
      of the Investor’s Representations and Warranties. The representations and
      warranties of the Investor shall be true and correct in all material
      respects.

     

    (b) Performance
      by the Investor. The Investor shall have performed, satisfied and complied
      in
      all respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this
      Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement to be performed, satisfied
      or
      complied with by the Investor at or prior to such Closing.

     

    Section
      7.2. Conditions
      Precedent to the Right of the Company to Deliver an Advance Notice. The right
      of
      the Company to deliver an Advance Notice is subject to the fulfillment by the
      Company, on such Advance Notice (a “Condition Satisfaction Date”), of each of
      the following conditions:

     

    (a) Registration
      of the Common Stock with the SEC. The Company shall have filed with the SEC
      a
      Registration Statement with respect to the resale of the Registrable Securities
      in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement. As set forth
      in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Registration Statement shall have
      previously become effective and shall remain effective on each Condition
      Satisfaction Date and (i) neither the Company nor the Investor shall have
      received notice that the SEC has issued or intends to issue a stop order with
      respect to the Registration Statement or that the SEC otherwise has suspended
      or
      withdrawn the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, either temporarily
      or
      permanently, or intends or has threatened to do so (unless the SEC’s concerns
      have been addressed and the Investor is reasonably satisfied that the SEC no
      longer is considering or intends to take such action), and (ii) no other
      suspension of the use or withdrawal of the effectiveness of the Registration
      Statement or related prospectus shall exist. The Registration Statement must
      have been declared effective by the SEC prior to the first Advance Notice
      Date.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        13

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (b) Authority.
      The Company shall have obtained all permits and qualifications required by
      any
      applicable state in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement for the
      offer and sale of the shares of Common Stock, or shall have the availability
      of
      exemptions therefrom. The sale and issuance of the shares of Common Stock shall
      be legally permitted by all laws and regulations to which the Company is
      subject.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    (f) No
      Suspension of Trading in or Delisting of Common Stock. The trading of the Common
      Stock is not suspended by the SEC or the Principal Market (if the Common Stock
      is traded on a Principal Market). The issuance of shares of Common Stock with
      respect to the applicable Closing, if any, shall not violate the shareholder
      approval requirements of the Principal Market (if the Common Stock is traded
      on
      a Principal Market). The Company shall not have received any notice threatening
      the continued listing of the Common Stock on the Principal Market (if the Common
      Stock is traded on a Principal Market).

     

    (g) Maximum
      Advance Amount. The amount of an Advance requested by the Company shall not
      exceed the Maximum Advance Amount. In addition, in no event shall the number
      of
      shares issuable to the Investor pursuant to an Advance cause the aggregate
      number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Investor and its
      affiliates to exceed nine and 9/10 percent (9.9%) of the then outstanding Common
      Stock of the Company. For the purposes of this section beneficial ownership
      shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
      Act.

     

    (h) No
      Knowledge. The Company has no knowledge of any event which would be more likely
      than not to have the effect of causing such Registration Statement to be
      suspended or otherwise ineffective.

     

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

    Due
      Diligence Review; Non-Disclosure of Non-Public Information

     

    Section
      8.1. Non-Disclosure
      of Non-Public Information.

     

    (a) The
      Company covenants and agrees that it shall refrain from disclosing, and shall
      cause its officers, directors, employees and agents to refrain from disclosing,
      any material non-public information to the Investor without also disseminating
      such information to the public, unless prior to disclosure of such information
      the Company identifies such information as being material non-public information
      and provides the Investor with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept
      such material non-public information for review.

     

    (b) Nothing
      herein shall require the Company to disclose non-public information to the
      Investor or its advisors or representatives, and the Company represents that
      it
      does not disseminate non-public information to any investors who purchase stock
      in the Company in a public offering, to money managers or to securities
      analysts, provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the
      contrary, the Company will, as hereinabove provided, immediately notify the
      advisors and representatives of the Investor and, if any, underwriters, of
      any
      event or the existence of any circumstance (without any obligation to disclose
      the specific event or circumstance) of which it becomes aware, constituting
      non-public information (whether or not requested of the Company specifically
      or
      generally during the course of due diligence by such persons or entities),
      which, if not disclosed in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement
      would cause such prospectus to include a material misstatement or to omit a
      material fact required to be stated therein in order to make the statements,
      therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.
      Nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall be construed to mean that such
      persons or entities other than the Investor (without the written consent of
      the
      Investor prior to disclosure of such information) may not obtain non-public
      information in the course of conducting due diligence in accordance with the
      terms of this Agreement and nothing herein shall prevent any such persons or
      entities from notifying the Company of their opinion that based on such due
      diligence by such persons or entities, that the Registration Statement contains
      an untrue statement of material fact or omits a material fact required to be
      stated in the Registration Statement or necessary to make the statements
      contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
      misleading.

      of
      laws. The parties further agree that any action between them shall be heard

      order or suspension of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for
      an
      aggregate of fifty (50) Trading Days, other than due to the acts of the
      Investor, during the Commitment Period, or (ii) the Company shall at any time
