    This
      Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement” or “Agreement”), dated this
      16th day of January 2008, is by and between Unicorp, Inc., a Nevada corporation,
      Houston, Texas (the “Company”), and Carl A. Chase (the “Executive”) an
      individual.

    

    WHEREAS,
      the Executive is willing to enter into an agreement with the Company upon the
      terms and conditions herein set forth.

    

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and covenants herein contained,
      the
      parties hereto agree as follows:

    

    1.           
      Term of
      Agreement.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
      term of employment of the Executive under this Employment Agreement shall be
      for
      the period commencing on January 1, 2008 (the “Commencement Date”) and
      terminating on December 31, 2009, unless sooner terminated as provided in
      accordance with the provisions of Section 5 hereof.  (Such term of
      this agreement is herein sometimes called the “Retained Term”).

    

    2.           
      Employment.  As
      of the Commencement Date, the Company hereby agrees to employ the Executive
      as
      Chief Financial Officer of the Company with such duties as assigned from time
      to
      time by the Company, and the Executive hereby accepts such employment and agrees
      to perform his duties and responsibilities hereunder in accordance with the
      terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

    

    3.           
      Duties and
      Responsibilities.

    

    
      	
              (a)

            	
              Duties.  Executive
                shall perform such duties as are usually performed by a Chief Financial
                Officer with such duties as assigned from time to time by the Company
                and
                will be consistent of a business similar in size and scope as the
                Company
                and such other duties as may be requested by the Company’s President which
                are reasonable and consistent with the Company’s operations, taking into
                account Executive’s expertise and job responsibilities. The Executive will
                assist with duties required in order to fully comply with all SEC
                rules
                and regulations associated with a publicly traded company.  This
                agreement shall survive any job title or responsibility
                change.  All actions of Executive shall be subject and
                subordinate to the review and approval of the President and/or the
                Company’s board of directors.  The board of directors shall be
                the final and exclusive arbiter of all policy decisions relative
                to the
                Company’s business. 

            

    

    

    
      	
              (b)

            	
              Devotion
                of
                Time.  During the term of this agreement, Executive
                agrees to devote his exclusive and full-time service during normal
                business hours to the business and affairs of the Company (including
                its
                subsidiaries) to the extent necessary to discharge the responsibilities
                assigned to Executive and to use reasonable best efforts to perform
                faithfully and efficiently such responsibilities.  During the
                term of this Agreement it shall not be a violation of this Agreement
                for
                Executive to manage personal investments or companies in which personal
                investments are made so long as such activities do not interfere
                with the
                performance of Executive’s responsibilities with the Company and which
                companies are not in direct competition with the Company.

    (ii)           
      By the Executive at any time, upon 30 days written notice.

    

    
      	
               

            	
              (iii)

            	
              Immediately,
                upon written notice by the Company for Cause which for purposes of
                the
                Agreement shall be defined as (i) Executive's willful and persistent
                inattention to his reasonable duties which amounts to gross negligence
                or
                willful dishonesty towards, fraud upon, or deliberate injury or attempted
                injury to, the Company, (ii) Executive's willful breach of any term
                or
                provision of the Agreement which breach shall have remained substantially
                uncorrected for 15 days with an opportunity to cure following written
                notice to the Executive; or (iii) the commission by Executive of
                any act
                or any failure by Executive to act involving criminal conduct, whether
                or
                not directly relating to the business and affairs of the Company.
                

            

    

    

    
      	
              (b)  

            	
              Effects
                of
                Termination.  In the event that the Agreement is
                terminated pursuant to Section 5(a) or upon expiration of the term of
                the Agreement, neither the Executive nor the Company shall have any
                further obligations hereunder except for (a) obligations occurring
                prior to the date of termination, and (b) obligations, promises or
                covenants contained herein which are expressly made to extend beyond
                the
                term of the Agreement.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (c)  

            	
              Improper
                Termination.  In the event of the Executive's termination
                by the Company for any reason other than for Cause or the death of
                the
                Executive, Executive shall continue to be paid, as severance pay,
                an
                amount equal to his salary at the time of termination until the later
                of:
                (i) the end of twelve months from the Commencement Date or (ii) 180
                calendar days from the date of the termination. Except for the severance
                pay, the Company shall not have any further obligations hereunder
                except
                for (a) obligations occurring prior to the date of termination, and
                (b) obligations, promises or covenants contained herein which are
                expressly made to extend beyond the term of the
                Agreement.

            

    

    

    
      
         

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    6.           
      Revealing of Trade
      Secrets, etc.  Executive acknowledges the interest of the
      Company in maintaining the confidentiality of information related to its
      business and shall not at any time during the Employment Term or thereafter,
      directly or indirectly, reveal or cause to be revealed to any person or entity
      the supplier lists, customer lists or other confidential business information
      of
      the Company; provided, however, that the parties acknowledge that it is not
      the
      intention of this paragraph to include within its subject matter (a) information
      not proprietary to the Company, (b) information which is then in the public
      domain through no fault of Executive, or (c) information required to be
      disclosed by law.

    

    7.           
      Indemnification.  In
      the event Executive is made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
      action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
      investigative (other than an action by the Company against Executive, by reason
      of the fact that Executive was performing services under this Agreement or
      that
      Executive was or is an officer, director or employee of the Company, then the
      Company shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Executive against all expenses
      (including attorneys' fees and expenses), judgments, fines and amounts paid
      in
      settlement, as actually and reasonably incurred by Executive in connection
      therewith, to the maximum permitted by applicable law.  The advance of
      expenses shall be mandatory to the extent permitted by applicable
      law.  In the event that both Executive and the Company are made party
      to the same third-party action, complaint, suit or proceeding, the Company
      agrees to engage counsel, and Executive consents to use the same counsel, which
      consent will not be unreasonable withheld, provided that if counsel selected
      by
      the Company shall have a conflict of interest that prevents such counsel from
      representing Executive and the Company at the same time, Executive may engage
      separate counsel and the Company shall pay all reasonable attorneys' fees and
      expenses of separate counsel.  The Company shall not be required to
      pay the fees of more than one law firm except as described in the preceding
      sentence.  Further, while Executive is expected to faithfully
      discharge his duties under this Agreement, Executive shall not be held liable
      to
      the Company for errors or omissions made in good faith where Executive has
      not
      exhibited intentional misconduct or performed criminal or fraudulent
      acts.  Notwithstanding the above, the Company’s obligation to
      indemnify Executive is subject to any prohibitions as a matter of law that
      the
      company cannot indemnify the executive.

    

    8.           
      Non-Competition
      Agreement.  In addition to the compensation and benefits listed in
      Section 4 hereof, Executive agrees to the non-competition provisions of this
      section.

    

    
      	
              (a)

            	
              Termination
                for Cause or by
                the Executive. If the Executive is terminated for Cause or upon
                termination by the Executive pursuant to Section 5(a)(ii) hereof,
                Executive hereby agrees that for a period commencing on the date
                hereof
                and ending six (6) months following the termination of Executive’s
                employment, he will not, directly or indirectly, as employee, agent,
                consultant, stockholder, director, co-partner or in any other individual
                or representative capacity, own, operate, manage, control, engage
                in,
                invest in or participate in any manner in, act as a consultant or
                advisor
                to, render services for, or otherwise assist any person or entity
                (other
                than the Company) that engages in or owns, invests in, operates,
                manages
                or controls any venture or enterprise that engages or proposes to
                engage
                in the business of the exploration and/or exploitation of oil and
                gas
                properties in which the Company has a direct  interest or in
                which the Company has an interest in adjacent properties or properties
                in
                the same field or any prospects in which the Company is developing
                or is
                contemplating investing in, developing or operating.  This
                provision may be waived by the unanimous written consent of the board
                of
                directors upon the termination of Executive for any reason.
                

            

    

    

    
      
         

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    
      	
              (b)

            	
              Termination
                without
                Cause.  If Executive is terminated without cause, at any time,
                then the Executive shall not be subject to non-competition obligations
                of
                this Section 8.    

            

    

    

    
      	
              (c)

            	
              Restrictions
                on Future
                Employment.  Executive understands that the foregoing
                restrictions may limit his ability to engage in certain businesses
                during
                the period provided for above, but acknowledges that Executive will
                receive sufficiently high remuneration and other benefits (e.g., high
                remuneration
                during the term of the Agreement and access to certain confidential
                and
                proprietary information and trade secrets) under this Agreement to
                justify
                such restriction.  Executive acknowledges that money damages would
                not be sufficient remedy for any breach of this section by Executive,
                and
                Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates shall be entitled
                to
                enforce the provisions of this section by terminating any payments
                then
                owing to Executive under this Agreement and/or to specific performance
                and
                injunctive relief as remedies for such breach or any threatened breach,
                without any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in
                connection with such remedies.  Such remedies shall not be deemed the
                exclusive remedies for a breach of this section, but shall be in
                addition
                to all remedies available at law or in equity to Company or any of
                its
                subsidiaries or affiliates, including, without limitation, the recovery
                of
                damages from Executive and his agents involved in such breach.
                

            

    

    

    
      	
              (d)  

            	
              Acknowledgement
                by
                Parties.  It is expressly understood that the restrictions
                contained in this section are related to and result from the agreements
                of
                the Company and Executive in this section and it is agreed that the
                Company and Executive consider the restrictions contained in this
                section
                to be reasonable and necessary to protect the confidential and proprietary
                information and trade secrets of the Company and its subsidiaries
                and
                affiliates.

            

    

    

    9.           
      Non-Solicitation. 
      During the Restricted Period, without the prior written consent of the
      Company, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly: (i) contact or solicit
      any current, former, or known potential customer of the Company or any of the
      customer’s subsidiaries, or affiliates; or (ii) hire or solicit, or cause others
      to hire or solicit, for employment by any person other than the Company or
      any
      affiliate or successor of the Company, any employee of, or person employed
      within the two years preceding the Executive's hiring or solicitation of such
      person by, the Company and its affiliates or successors or encourage any such
      employee to leave his or her employment.

    

    

    10.                 
      Arbitration.  If
      a dispute should arise regarding this Agreement, all claims, disputes,

        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.

       

      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.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      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 Shares and Warrant 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”).

       

      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 Shares and Warrant 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
        Shares and Warrant Shares at least equal to the Required Minimum on the date
        hereof.

       

      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.

       

      SEC
        Reports; Financial
        Statements.  Except as set forth on Schedule
        3.1(h), 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.

       

      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.

       

      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.

       

      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.

       

      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.

       

      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.

       

      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.

       

      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.

       

      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.

       

      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.

       

      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 each 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.

       

      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.

       

      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.

       

      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.

       

      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.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      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.

       

      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.

       

      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.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      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.

       

      Solvency.  Based
        on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the applicable
        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 applicable 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.

       

      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.

       

      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.

       

      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.

       

      Accountants.  The
        Company’s accounting firm is set forth on Schedule 3.1(ee) of
        the Disclosure Schedule.  To the knowledge and belief of the Company,
        such accounting firm (i) is a registered public accounting firm as required
        by
        the Exchange Act and (ii) shall express its opinion with respect to the
        financial statements to be included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year
        ending March 31, 2008.

       

      Seniority.  Except
        as set forth on Schedule 3.1(ff), as
        of the applicable Closing Date, no Indebtedness or other claim against the
        Company is senior to the Notes 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).

       

      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.

       

      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.

       

      Acknowledgment
        Regarding Purchasers’ Trading Activity.  Notwithstanding anything
        in
        this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary (except for Sections 3.2(f)
        and 4.14 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 Shares and Warrant
        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.

       

      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.

       

      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:

       

      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.

       

      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.

       

      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 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.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      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.

       

      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.

       

      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

       

      Transfer
        Restrictions.

       

      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.

       

      The
        Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section
        4.1,
        of a legend on any of the Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares in the following
        form:

       

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

       

      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, 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 this 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.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      Certificates
        evidencing the Shares and Warrant 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 Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Shares
        or
        Warrant 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 Warrant is exercised (as applicable) at a time when there is
        an
        effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Warrant Shares,
        or
        if such Shares or Warrant 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 Shares or Warrant Shares shall be issued free of
        all
        legends.  The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at
        such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 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 the Shares
        or
        Warrant 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 Shares or Warrant 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.

       

      

      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 Shares or Warrant 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.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      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.

       

      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 Shares and Warrant 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.

       

      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.

       

      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.

       

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

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      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 hereby 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).

       

      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.

       

      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.

       

      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, including, but not limited to, repayment
        of existing bridge loans, and funding production, 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.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      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.

       

      Reservation
        and Listing of
        Securities.

       

      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.

       

      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. In addition, the Company shall hold a special meeting of
        shareholders (which may also be at the annual meeting of shareholders) at
        the
        earliest practical date after the date the number of shares of Common Stock
        issuable pursuant to this Agreement on a fully converted or exercised basis
        (ignoring for such purposes any exercise limitations therein) exceeds 15%
        of the
        issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on the First Closing Date for
        the
        purpose of obtaining Shareholder Approval, with the recommendation of the
        Company’s Board of Directors that such proposal be approved, and the Company
        shall solicit proxies from its shareholders in connection therewith in the
        same
        manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement and all
        management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of such
        proposal.  If the Company does not obtain Shareholder Approval at the
        first meeting, the Company shall call a meeting every four months thereafter
        to
        seek Shareholder Approval until the earlier of the date Shareholder Approval
        is
        obtained or the date the Warrants are no longer outstanding.

       

      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.

       

      Subsequent
        Equity
        Sales.

       

      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.

       

      Unless
        Shareholder Approval has been obtained and deemed effective, neither the
        Company
        nor any Subsidiary shall make any issuance whatsoever of Common Stock or
        Common
        Stock Equivalents which would cause any adjustment of the exercise price
        of the
        Warrants to the extent the holders of the Warrants would not be permitted,
        pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii) of the Warrants to exercise their respective
        Warrants in full, ignoring for such purposes the exercise limitations
        therein.  Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief
        against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be
        in
        addition to any right to collect damages

       

      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 Notes in amounts which are
        disproportionate to the respective principal amounts outstanding on the Notes
        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.

       

      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 understands and acknowledges, and
        agrees, to act in a manner that will not violate 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.

       

      Form

        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 Closings 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.

                Piggy-Back
                  Registration Rights. If, at any time, the Company shall determine
                  to proceed with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement,
                  in
                  connection with the proposed offer and sale of any of its securities
                  by it
                  or any of its security holders (other than a registration statement
                  on
                  Form S-4, S-8 or other similar limited purpose form), the Company
                  will give written notice of its determination to the
                  Purchasers.  Upon receipt of a written request from the
                  Purchasers within thirty calendar days after receipt of any such
                  notice
                  from the Company, the Company will, except as herein provided,
                  cause all
                  the Shares and Warrant Shares issued or issuable to the Purchasers,
                  to the
                  extent requested by the Purchasers, to be included in such Registration
                  Statement, all to the extent required to permit the sale or other
                  disposition by the Purchasers of such shares of Common
                  Stock.  The obligation of the Company under this
                  Section 4.19(a) shall be unlimited as to the number of Registration
                  Statements to which it applies.

        Registration
        Procedures.  In the case of each registration effected by the
        Company pursuant to Section 4.16 hereof, the Company will keep the Purchaser
        advised, in writing, as to the initiation of each registration and as to
        the
        completion thereof. At its expense, the Company will:

       

      
        	
                i.  

              	
                Keep

                  been sold or may be sold without volume restrictions pursuant to
                  Rule
                  144(k) as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to
                  a written
                  opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the
                  Company’s
                  transfer agent and the affected Holders (the “Effectiveness
                  Period”);  provided,
however,
                  that
                  (i) such Effectiveness Period shall be extended for a period of
                  time equal
                  to the period Purchaser refrains from selling any shares of Common
                  Stock
                  included in such registration at the request of an underwriter
                  of

        if
        necessary, to keep the Registration Statement effective until all securities
        are
        sold, provided that applicable rules and regulations under the Securities

                  required
                  to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any
                  event as
                  a result of which the prospectus included in such Registration
                  Statement,
                  as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact
                  or

                  in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning
                  each

                xiii.  

              	
                Take
                  all other reasonable actions
                  necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by each Purchaser
                  of the

        1, 2008 (and indicated compliance with such reporting obligations on the
        cover

        number
        of Shares equal to such Purchaser’s pro-rata portion of 1,500,000 shares of

        parties, if the First Closing has not been consummated on or before January
        ___,

        by
        the other party (or parties).

        parties
        acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and

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

       

      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.

       

      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.”

       

      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.

       

      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, unless
        otherwise expressly set forth in any such Transaction Document.  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.

       

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

       

      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.

       

      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.

       

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

       

      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.

       

      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.

       

      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.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      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.

       

      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 Black Nickel Vision Fund, LLC. 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.

       

      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.

       

      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.

       

      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.

       

      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.
