    Section
      2.1 Representations
      and Warranties of the Company.
      For
      purposes of this Section 2.1 only, the Company hereby represents and warrants
      to
      the Purchaser, as of the date hereof (except as set forth on the Disclosure
      Schedules attached hereto as Schedules

      list of all exceptions to the truth and accuracy of, and of all disclosures
      or
      descriptions required by, the representations and warranties set forth in the
      remaining sections of this Section 2.1. For purposes of this Section 2.1, any

      made by the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commissions,
      are deemed to be included in the Company Disclosure Schedules and all such
      information is deemed to be fully disclosed to the Purchaser), as
      follows:

     

    (a) Organization,
      Good Standing and Power.
      Except
      as set forth on Schedule 2.1(a), the Company is a corporation duly incorporated,
      validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware,
      and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties
      and assets and to conduct its business as it is now being conducted. Except
      as
      set forth on Schedule
      2.1(a),
      the
      Company and each of its subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign corporation
      to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature
      of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification
      necessary, except for any jurisdiction(s) (alone or in the aggregate) in which
      the failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be expected to have a
      Material Adverse Effect (as defined in Section
      2.1(c)
      hereof)
      .

     

    (b) Authorization;
      Enforcement.
      The
      Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and
      perform this Agreement, the Debenture, the Registration Rights Agreement,
      substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
      C
      (the
“Registration
      Rights Agreement”),

Exhibit
      E
      (the
“Share
      Escrow Agreement”),
      the
      Management Escrow Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit
      F
      (the

      Escrow Agreement”)
      and
      the Certificate of Designation (collectively, the “Transaction
      Documents”)
      and to
      issue and sell the Debenture and, upon conversion, the Shares in accordance
      with
      the terms hereof, in the Debentures and in the Certificate of Designation.
      The
      execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company,
      and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby,
      have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and
      no
      further consent or authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or
      stockholders is required. This Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents,
      when executed and delivered at the Closing will have been duly executed and
      delivered and shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Company
      enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms,
      except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
      insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship,
      receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement
      of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general
      application.

    (c) Capitalization.
      The
      authorized capital stock of the Company and the shares thereof currently issued
      and outstanding, are set forth on Schedule
      2.1(c)
      hereto.
      All of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock have been duly and validly
      authorized and issued. Except as set forth on Schedule
      2.1(c) hereto
      and as contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, no shares
      of Common Stock are entitled to preemptive rights or registration rights and
      there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to,
      call
      relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, any shares of capital
      stock of the Company. Except as set forth on Schedule
      2.1(c)
      hereto
      and as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, there are no contracts,
      commitments, understandings, or arrangements by which the Company is or may
      become bound to issue additional shares of the capital stock of the Company
      or
      options, securities or rights convertible into shares of capital stock of the
      Company. Except as set forth on Schedule
      2.1(c)
      hereto
      and as contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, the Company
      is not a party to any agreement granting registration or anti-dilution rights
      to
      any person with respect to any of its equity or debt securities. Except as
      disclosed on Schedule
      2.1(c),
      the
      Company
      is not a party to, and it has no knowledge of, any agreement restricting the
      voting or transfer of any shares of the capital stock of the Company. To the
      Company’s knowledge, the offer and sale of all capital stock, convertible
      securities, rights, warrants, or options of the Company issued prior to the
      Closing complied with all applicable Federal and state securities laws and
      no
      stockholder has a right of rescission or claim for damages with respect thereto
      which would have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). The Company
      has
      furnished or made available to the Purchaser true and correct copies of the
      Company’s Certificate of Incorporation as in effect on the date hereof (the
“Certificate”),
      and
      the Company’s Bylaws as in effect on the date hereof (the “Bylaws”).
      For
      the purposes of this Agreement, “Material
      Adverse Effect”
means
      any material adverse effect on (i) the business, operations, properties, or
      financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
      or
      (ii) the ability of the Company to perform any of its obligations under the
      Transaction Documents.

     

    (d) Issuance
      of the Securities.
      The
      Debenture is duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and when issued
      and paid for in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be validly
      issued and paid, fully paid and non-assessable. The Preferred Shares when issued
      in accordance with the terms of the Debenture will be duly authorized by all
      necessary corporate action, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and
      nonassessable and entitled to the rights and preferences set forth in the
      Certificate of Designation. The Common Conversion Shares, when issued in
      accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation, will be duly
      authorized by all necessary corporate action and validly issued and outstanding,
      fully paid and nonassessable, and the holders shall be entitled to all rights
      accorded to a holder of Common Stock.

    (e) No
      Conflicts.
      The
      execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company,
      the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and thereunder
      and
      the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated herein and
      therein do not and will not (i) violate any provision of the Company’s
      Certificate or Bylaws, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event
      which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or
      give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
      cancellation of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond,
      license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company is
      a
      party or by which it or its properties or assets are bound, (iii) create or
      impose a lien, mortgage, security interest, charge or encumbrance of any nature
      on any property of the Company under any agreement or any commitment to which
      the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or by which any of
      its
      respective properties or assets are bound, or (iv) to the Company’s knowledge,
      result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule,
      regulation, order, judgment or decree (including Federal and state securities
      laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries
      or by
      which any property or asset of the Company or any of its subsidiaries are bound
      or affected, except, in all cases other than violations pursuant to clauses
      (i)
      and (iv) above, for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments,
      accelerations, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in

      use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of hazardous
      substances, chemical substances, pollutants, contaminants or toxic substances,
      material or wastes, whether solid, liquid or gaseous in nature. The Company
      has
      all necessary governmental approvals required under all Environmental Laws
      and

      or
      omissions relating to or in any way affecting the Company or its subsidiaries
      that violate or may violate any Environmental Law after the Closing Date or
      that

      claim, action, demand, suit, proceeding, hearing, study or investigation (i)
      under any Environmental Law, or (ii) based on or related to the manufacture,

    (aa) Public
      Utility Holding Company Act and Investment Company Act Status.
      The
      Company is not a “holding company” or a “public utility company” as such terms
      are defined in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.
      The
      Company is not, and as a result of and immediately upon the Closing will not
      be,
      an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,”
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
      amended.

     

    (bb) ERISA.
      No
      liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation has been incurred with
      respect to any Plan (as defined below) by the Company or any of its subsidiaries
      which is or would be materially adverse to the Company and its subsidiaries.
      The
      execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance and sale of the
      Preferred Shares will not involve any transaction which is subject to the
      prohibitions of Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
      of
      1974, as amended (“ERISA”),
      or in
      connection with which a tax could be imposed pursuant to Section 4975 of the
      Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),
      provided that, if the Purchaser, or any person or entity that owns a beneficial
      interest in any of the Purchaser, is an “employee pension benefit plan” (within
      the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA) with respect to which the Company is
      a
“party in interest” (within the meaning of Section 3(14) of ERISA), the
      requirements of Sections 407(d)(5) and 408(e) of ERISA, if applicable, are
      met.
      As used in this Section 2.1(bb), the term “Plan”
shall
      mean an “employee pension benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3 of ERISA) which
      is or has been established or maintained, or to which contributions are or
      have
      been made, by the Company or any subsidiary or by any trade or business, whether
      or not incorporated, which, together with the Company or any subsidiary, is
      under common control, as described in Section 414(b) or (c) of the
      Code.

     

    (cc) No
      Integrated Offering.
      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
      the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated
      with
      prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would
      prevent the Company from selling the Securities pursuant to Rule 506 under
      the
      Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder approval
      provisions, nor will the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take
      any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Securities to be so
      integrated with other offerings.
      The
      Company does not have any registration statement pending before the Commission
      or currently under the Commission’s review and the Company has not in the last
      six (6) months publicly offered or sold any of its equity securities or debt
      securities convertible into shares of Common Stock.

      Purchaser:

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        12

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (a) Organization
      and Standing of the Purchaser.
      The
      Purchaser is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company duly
      incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
      laws
      of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization.

     

    (b) Authorization
      and Power.
      The
      Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform this
      Agreement and to purchase the Debenture being sold to it hereunder. The
      execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Registration
      Rights Agreement by such Purchaser and the consummation by it of the
      transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all
      necessary corporate or partnership action, and no further consent or
      authorization of such Purchaser or its Board of Directors, stockholders,
      members, managers or partners, as the case may be, is required. Each of this
      Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement has been duly authorized,
      executed and delivered by such Purchaser and constitutes, or shall constitute
      when executed and delivered, a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser
      enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with the terms thereof, except
      as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
      reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or
      similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s
      rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general
      application.

     

    (c) No
      Conflicts.
      The
      execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Registration
      Rights Agreement by such Purchaser and the consummation by such Purchaser of
      the
      transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or relating hereto do not and
      will
      not (i) result in a violation of such Purchaser’s charter documents or bylaws or
      other organizational documents or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default
      (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default)
      under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration
      or
      cancellation of any agreement, indenture or instrument or obligation to which
      such Purchaser is a party or by which its properties or assets are bound, or
      result in a violation of any law, rule, or regulation, or any order, judgment
      or
      decree of any court or governmental agency applicable to such Purchaser or
      its
      properties (except for such conflicts, defaults and violations as would not,
      individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on such
      Purchaser’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder). Such Purchaser is not
      required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing
      or
      registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute,
      deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or the
      Registration Rights Agreement or to purchase the Debenture in accordance with
      the terms hereof, provided that for purposes of the representation made in
      this
      sentence, such Purchaser is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the
      relevant representations and agreements of the Company herein.

    (d) Acquisition
      for Investment.
      The
      Purchaser is acquiring the Debenture solely for its own account for the purpose
      of investment and not as a nominee or with a view to or for sale in connection
      with distribution. The Purchaser does not have a present intention to sell
      the
      Debenture, nor a present arrangement (whether or not legally binding) or
      intention to effect any distribution of the Debenture to or through any person
      or entity; provided,
      however,
      that by
      making the representations herein and subject to Section 2.2(h) below, the
      Purchaser does not agree to hold the Securities for any minimum or other
      specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time
      in
      accordance with Federal and state securities laws applicable to such
      disposition. The Purchaser acknowledges that it is able to bear the financial
      risks associated with an investment in the Debenture and that it has been given
      full access to such records of the Company and the subsidiaries and to the
      officers of the Company and the subsidiaries and received such information
      as it
      has deemed necessary or appropriate to conduct its due diligence investigation
      and has sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in companies similar
      to
      the Company in terms of the Company’s stage of development so as to be able to
      evaluate the risks and merits of its investment in the Company.

     

    (e) Status
      of Purchaser.
      The
      Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D promulgated
      under the Securities Act. The Purchaser is not required to be registered as
      a
      broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act and the Purchaser is not
      a
      broker-dealer.

     

    (f) Opportunities
      for Additional Information.
      The
      Purchaser acknowledges that such Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask
      questions of and receive answers from, or obtain additional information from,
      the executive officers of the Company concerning the financial and other affairs
      of the Company, and to the extent deemed necessary in light of such Purchaser’s
      personal knowledge of the Company’s affairs, such Purchaser has asked such
      questions and received answers to the full satisfaction of such Purchaser,
      and
      such Purchaser desires to invest in the Company.

     

    (g) No
      General Solicitation.
      The
      Purchaser acknowledges that the Debenture were not offered to such Purchaser
      by
      means of any form of general or public solicitation or general advertising,
      or
      publicly disseminated advertisements or sales literature, including (i) any
      advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any
      newspaper, magazine, or similar media, or broadcast over television or radio,
      or
      (ii) any seminar or meeting to which such Purchaser was invited by any of the
      foregoing means of communications.

     

    (h) Rule
      144.
      The
      Purchaser understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless
      such
      Securities are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from
      registration is available. Such Purchaser acknowledges that such Purchaser
      is
      familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations of the Commission, as
      amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act (“Rule
      144”),
      and
      that such person has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under
      certain circumstances. Such Purchaser understands that to the extent that Rule
      144 is not available, such Purchaser will be unable to sell any Securities
      without either registration under the Securities Act or the existence of another
      exemption from such registration requirement.

     

    (i) General.
      The
      Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and sold in reliance
      on a transactional exemption from the registration requirement of Federal and
      state securities laws and the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy
      of
      the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings
      of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability
      of
      such exemptions and the suitability of such Purchaser to acquire the
      Securities.

    (j) Trading
      Activities.
      The
      Purchaser agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, in its own capacity
      or through an agent, engage in any short sales (as defined in Rule 200 of
      Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act) with respect to the Conversion Shares,
      or
      any hedging transaction or securitization, including obtaining shares of Common
      Stock to borrow, which establishes any short position with respect to the Common
      Stock, whether on a U.S. domestic exchange or any foreign exchange. 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 from the Company
      or
      any other person (i) a term sheet (written or oral) or (ii) a draft of any
      Transaction Document, in each case setting forth the material terms of the
      transactions contemplated hereunder, until the date hereof.

     

    (k) Certain
      Fees.
      Except
      as set forth on Schedule
      2.2(l)
      hereto,
      no brokers, finders or financial advisory fees or commissions will be payable
      by
      the Purchaser with respect to the transactions contemplated by this
      Agreement.

    Covenants

     

    The
      Company covenants with each of the Purchaser as follows, which covenants are

      the benefit of the Purchaser and their permitted assignees
      hereunder.

     

    Section
      3.1 Securities
      Compliance.
      The
      Company shall notify the Commission in accordance with its rules and regulations
      of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents, including
      filing a Form D with respect to the Debenture, Preferred Shares and Common
      Conversion Shares as required under Regulation D and applicable “blue sky” laws,
      and shall take all other necessary action and proceedings as may be required
      and
      permitted by applicable law, rule and regulation, for the legal and valid
      issuance of the Securities.

     

    Section
      3.2 Registration
      and Listing.
      The
      Company shall (a) either (i) cause its Common Stock to continue to be registered
      under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, or (ii) continue to
      voluntarily file all reports required to be filed as if the Company were so
      registered, and in any event shall comply in all respects with its reporting
      and
      filing obligations under the Exchange Act and the Company shall not cease filing
      reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and
      regulations thereunder would permit such termination, (b) comply with all
      requirements related to any registration statement filed pursuant to this
      Agreement, and (c) not take any action or file any document (whether or not
      permitted by the Securities Act or the rules promulgated thereunder) to
      terminate or suspend such registration or to terminate or suspend its reporting
      and filing obligations under the Exchange Act or Securities Act, except as
      permitted herein. The Company will take all action necessary to continue the
      listing or trading of its Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or other
      exchange or market on which the Common Stock is trading or may be traded in
      the
      future. Upon the request of the Purchaser, the Company shall deliver to the
      Purchaser a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether
      it
      has complied with such requirements. Subject to the terms of the Transaction
      Documents, the Company further covenants that it will take such further action
      as the Purchaser may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time
      to
      time, to enable the Purchaser to sell the Shares without registration under
      the
      Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule
      144.

      3.11  Status
      of Dividends.
      The
      Company covenants and agrees that (i) no Federal income tax return or claim
      for
      refund of Federal income tax or other submission to the Internal Revenue Service
      (the “Service”)
      will
      adversely affect the Debenture, Preferred Shares, any other series of its
      Preferred Stock, or the Common Stock, and no deduction shall operate to
      jeopardize the availability to Purchasers of the dividends received deduction
      provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code or any successor provision, (ii)
      in no
      report to shareholders or to any governmental body having jurisdiction over
      the
      Company or otherwise will it treat the Preferred Shares other than as equity
      capital or the dividends paid thereon other than as dividends paid on equity
      capital unless required to do so by a governmental body having jurisdiction
      over
      the accounts of the Company or by a change in generally accepted accounting
      principles required as a result of action by an authoritative accounting
      standards setting body, and (iii) it will take no action which would result
      in
      the dividends paid by the Company on the Preferred Shares out of the Company’s
      current or accumulated earnings and profits being ineligible for the dividends
      received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code. The preceding
      sentence shall not be deemed to prevent the Company from designating the
      Preferred Stock as “Convertible Preferred Stock” in its annual and quarterly
      financial statements in accordance with its prior practice concerning other
      series of preferred stock of the Company. In the event that the Purchasers
      have
      reasonable cause to believe that dividends paid by the Company on the Preferred
      Shares out of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits will not
      be treated as eligible for the dividends received deduction provided by Section
      243(a)(1) of the Code, or any successor provision, the Company will, at the
      reasonable request of the Purchasers of 51% of the outstanding Preferred Shares,
      join with the Purchasers in the submission to the Service of a request for
      a
      ruling that dividends paid on the Shares will be so eligible for Federal income
      tax purposes, at the Purchasers expense. In addition, the Company will
      reasonably cooperate with the Purchasers (at Purchasers’ expense) in any
      litigation, appeal or other proceeding challenging or contesting any ruling,
      technical advice, finding or determination that earnings and profits are not
      eligible for the dividends received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1)
      of
      the Code, or any successor provision to the extent that the position to be
      taken
      in any such litigation, appeal, or other proceeding is not contrary to any
      provision of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein contained
      shall be deemed to preclude the Company from claiming a deduction with respect
      to such dividends if (i) the Code shall hereafter be amended, or final Treasury
      regulations thereunder are issued or modified, to provide that dividends on
      the
      Preferred Shares or Common Conversion Shares should not be treated as dividends
      for Federal income tax purposes or that a deduction with respect to all or
      a
      portion of the dividends on the Shares is allowable for Federal income tax
      purposes, or (ii) in the absence of such an amendment, issuance or modification
      and after a submission of a request for ruling or technical advice, the Service
      shall issue a published ruling or advise that dividends on the Shares should
      not
      be treated as dividends for Federal income tax purposes. If the Service
      specifically determines that the Preferred Shares or Common Conversion Shares,
      constitute debt, the Company may file protective claims for refund.

     

    Section
      3.12  Use
      of
      Proceeds.
      The net
      proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder shall be used by the Company
      for working capital and general corporate purposes and not to redeem any Common
      Stock or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock
      or to settle any outstanding litigation. 

     

    Section
      3.13 Disclosure
      of Transaction.
      The
      Company shall issue a press release describing the material terms of the
      transactions contemplated hereby (the “Press
      Release”)
      as
      soon as practicable after the Closing but in no event later than 9:00 A.M.
      Eastern Time on the first Trading Day following the Closing. The Company shall
      also file with the Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form

      Agreement, the Management Escrow Agreement and the Press Release) as soon as
      practicable following the Closing Date but in no event more than four (4)
      Trading Days following the Closing Date, which Press Release and Form 8-K shall
      be subject to prior review and comment by counsel for the Purchaser.
“Trading

    Section
      3.14 Disclosure
      of Material Information.
      The
      Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other person acting on
      its
      behalf has provided or will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel
      with
      any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public
      information (other than with respect to the transactions contemplated by this
      Agreement), 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 the Purchaser shall be relying on the
      foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the
      Company.

     

    Section
      3.15 Pledge
      of Securities.
      The
      Company acknowledges and agrees that the Shares may be pledged by a Purchaser
      in
      connection with a bona fide
      margin
      agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Common
      Stock. The pledge of Common Stock shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale
      or
      assignment of the Common Stock hereunder, and no Purchaser effecting a pledge
      of
      Common Stock shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof
      or
      otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any
      other Transaction Document; provided that a Purchaser and its pledgee shall
      be
      required to comply with the provisions of Article V hereof in order to effect
      a
      sale, transfer or assignment of Common Stock to such pledgee. At the Purchaser's
      expense, the Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation
      as
      a pledgee of the Common Stock may reasonably request in connection with a pledge
      of the Common Stock to such pledgee by a Purchaser.

     

    Section
      3.16 Form
      S-1 Eligibility.
      The
      Company currently meets the “registrant eligibility” and transaction
      requirements set forth in the general instructions to Form S-1 applicable to
      “resale” registrations on Form S-1. 

     

    Section
      3.17 Sarbanes-Oxley
      Act.
      The
      Company shall use its best efforts to be in compliance with the applicable
      provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the rules and regulations
      promulgated thereunder, as required under such Act.

     

    Section
      3.18 No
      Commissions in connection with Conversion of Debenture and Conversion of
      Preferred Shares.
      In
      connection with the conversion of the Debenture into Preferred Shares and the
      subsequent conversion of the Preferred Shares into Common Stock, neither the
      Company nor any Person acting on its behalf will take any action that would
      result in the Conversion Shares being exchanged by the Company other than with
      the then existing holders of the Debenture or Preferred Shares, as the case
      may
      be, exclusively where no commission or other remuneration is paid or given
      directly or indirectly for soliciting the exchange in compliance with Section
      3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. 

     

    Section
      3.19  Post-Closing
      Covenants.
      The
      Company shall use its best efforts to (i) hire a Chief Financial Officer, (ii)
      hire an Investor Relations Officer and (iii) fulfill NASDAQ’s corporate
      governance requirements including but not limited to appointing three persons
      to
      serve as “independent” directors (as such term is defined under the NASDAQ Stock
      Market rules) on the Company’s Board of Directors and forming the Audit
      Committee and the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.
      The Company will perform its obligations within four months of the Closing
      Date
      with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) and within one month after the Closing
      Date
      with respect to clause (iii). Such persons referred to in clauses (i), (ii)
      and
      (iii) shall be approved by the Purchaser, which approval the Purchaser shall
      not
      unreasonably withhold. The Company will enter into the Management Escrow
      Agreement, pursuant to which $750,000 of the Purchase Price shall be delivered
      into an escrow account maintained by Loeb & Loeb LLP, which funds shall be
      released in installments of $250,000 upon the appointment of (i) a Chief
      Financial Officer, (ii) a Vice President of Investor Relations, and (iii) upon
      the Company’s compliance with NASDAQ’s corporate governance requirements as set
      forth in clause (iii) above.

    Section
      3.20 Subsequent
      Financings. 

     

    (a) For
      a
      period of twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date, subject to Section
      3.22(e), the Company covenants and agrees to promptly notify (in no event later
      than five (5) days after making or receiving an applicable offer) in writing
      (a
      "Rights
      Notice")
      the
      Purchaser of all of the terms and conditions of any proposed offer or sale
      to,
      or exchange with (or other type of distribution to) any third party (a
“Subsequent
      Financing”),
      of
      Common Stock or any debt or equity securities convertible, exercisable or
      exchangeable into Common Stock. The Purchaser shall have the right, for a period
      of twenty (20) calendar days following receipt of the Rights Notice (the “Option
      Period”), to accept or reject the right to invest in the Subsequent Financing
      (“First Refusal Right”) by written notice to the Company. If the Purchaser
      elects to exercise its First Refusal Rights, it shall deliver a notice of same
      to the Company within the Option Period and then the Company shall be obligated
      to pursue the Subsequent Financing with the Purchaser on the same terms and
      conditions as set forth in the Rights Notice. If, and only if, the Company
      receives written notice from the Purchaser that it will not exercise its First
      Refusal Rights, then and only then, may the Company pursue the Subsequent
      Financing with a third party; provided that, such third party Subsequent
      Financing shall: (i) not commence until after the expiration of the Option
      Period; (ii) close within thirty (30) days of the expiration of the Option
      Period (“Third Party Closing Date”); and (iii) be carried out on the same terms
      and conditions as set forth in the Rights Notice. Delivery of any Rights Notice
      constitutes a representation and warranty by the Company that there are no
      other
      material terms and conditions, arrangements, agreements or otherwise except
      for
      those disclosed in the Rights Notice, to provide additional compensation to
      any
      party participating in any proposed Subsequent Financing, including, but not
      limited to, additional compensation based on changes in the Purchase Price
      or
      any type of reset or adjustment of a purchase or conversion price or to issue
      additional securities at any time after the closing date of a Subsequent
      Financing. If the closing of the third party Subsequent Financing does not
      occur
      on the Third Party Closing Date, any closing of the third party Subsequent
      Financing or any other Subsequent Financing shall be subject to all of the
      provisions of this Section 3.22(a), including, without limitation, the delivery
      of a new Rights Notice. The provisions of this Section 3.22(a) shall not apply
      to issuances of securities in a Permitted Financing. 

     

    (b) For
      purposes of this Agreement, a Permitted Financing (as defined hereinafter)
      shall
      not be considered a Subsequent Financing. A "Permitted
      Financing"
      shall
      mean (i) securities issued (other than for cash) in connection with a merger,
      acquisition, or consolidation, (ii) securities issued pursuant to the conversion
      or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities issued or outstanding
      on or
      prior to the date of this Agreement or issued pursuant to this Agreement (so
      long as the conversion or exercise price in such securities are not amended
      to
      lower such price and/or adversely affect the Purchasers), (iii) securities
      issued in connection with bona fide strategic license agreements or other
      partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of
      raising capital, (iv) Common Stock issued or the issuance or grants of options
      to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans and
      employee stock purchase plans outstanding as they exist on the date of this
      Agreement, (v) the payment of dividends on the Preferred Shares in shares of
      Common Stock, and, (vi) any warrants issued to the placement agent and its
      designees for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

    (c) So
      long
      as any Debenture or Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the Company agrees
      that
      it shall not issue any “Variable Rate Securities” for a period of two (2) years
      from the Closing Date. “Variable
      Rate Securities”
shall
      mean 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, 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 based solely upon the occurrence of specified or
      contingent events directly or indirectly related to the operations of the
      Company or the market for the Common Stock.

    

    (d) For
      the
      period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is one hundred
      eighty (180) days following the effective date of the Registration Statement
      (as
      defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), and any additional registration
      statements thereunder, the Company shall not file any registration statement
      under the Securities Act without the prior written consent of the Purchasers.
      

    

    (e) Disclosure
      of Material Information.
      The
      Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other person acting on
      its
      behalf will provide the Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information
      that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless
      prior thereto the Company shall have given three (3) business days notice that
      it intends to disclose such information to the Purchaser (“Inside Information
      Notice”) and such Purchaser shall have agreed in writing that it is willing to
      accept such information, subject to a non-disclosure agreement to be executed
      by
      the Purchaser. If the Purchaser does not agree to accept such information,
      it
      will be deemed to have waived its rights pursuant to Section 3.22 (a) in
      connection with the Subsequent Financing contemplated in the related Inside
      Information Notice, but not for any additional Subsequent Financings for which
      it may be entitled to receive notice hereunder. The Company understands and
      confirms that the Purchaser will rely on the foregoing representations in
      effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

     

    Section
      3.21  Reservation
      of Shares.
      So long
      as any of the Debenture or the Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the Company
      shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved
      for the purpose of issuance, (i) no less than one hundred ten percent (110%)
      of
      the aggregate number of Preferred Stock needed to provide for the issuance
      of
      the Preferred Shares upon conversion of the Debenture and (ii) no less than
      one
      hundred ten percent (110%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
      needed to provide for the issuance of the Common Conversion Shares upon
      conversion of the Preferred Shares.

    Section
      3.22  Transfer
      Agent Instructions.
      The
      Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and any
      subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates, registered in the name of
      the
      Purchaser or its respective nominee(s), for the Preferred
      Shares and Conversion Shares, as applicable, in such amounts as specified from
      time to time by the Purchaser to the Company upon conversion of the Debenture
      or
      the Preferred Shares, respectively, in the form of Exhibit
      I
      attached
      hereto (the “Irrevocable
      Transfer Agent Instructions”).
      Prior
      to registration of the Common Conversion Shares under the Securities Act, all
      such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 5.1
      of
      this Agreement. The Company warrants that no instruction other than the
      Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 3.22 will
      be
      given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Shares shall otherwise
      be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the
      extent provided in this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. If
      the
      Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a generally
      acceptable form, to the effect that (i) a public sale, assignment or transfer
      of
      the Securities may be made without registration under the Securities Act or
      (ii)
      such Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as
      to
      the number of securities acquired as of a particular date that can then be
      immediately sold, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of
      the
      Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates
      in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Purchaser and without
      any restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its
      obligations under this Section 3.22 will cause irreparable harm to the
      Purchasers by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated
      hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a
      breach of its obligations under this Section 3.22 will be inadequate and agrees,
      in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions
      of this Section 3.22, that the Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to
      all
      other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach
      and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing
      economic loss and without any bond or other security being
      required.

     

    Section
      3.23  Disposition
      of Assets.
      So long
      as the Debenture or any Preferred Shares remain outstanding, neither the Company
      nor any subsidiary shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its
      properties, assets and rights including, without limitation, its software and
      intellectual property, to any person except for licenses or sales to customers
      in the ordinary course of business or with the prior written consent of the
      holders of a majority of the Debenture (on an as converted basis) and the
      Preferred Shares then outstanding.

     

    Section
      3.24 Increase
      in Authorized Shares of Preferred Stock.
      The
      Company shall file immediately after the closing of the transactions
      contemplated by this Agreement, an information statement on Schedule 14C with
      the Commission disclosing the approval of its Board of Directors, holders of
      a
      majority of its Common Stock and holders of its Series A Preferred Stock to
      file
      an amendment to increase its number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock
      to
      10,000,000 shares.The Company acknowledges that it shall be liable for payment
      of liquidated damages under the Debenture if the Company has not so increased
      its authorized shares of Preferred Stock by December 10, 2008.

      of Good Standing. The
      Company covenants and agrees that if it is unable to deliver a certificate
      of
      good standing from the State of Delaware on the Closing Date, as provided in
      Section 4.2 (p), the Company shall obtain such certificate of good standing
      no
      later than one (1) business day after the date of the Closing. 

     

    Section
      3.26  Compliance
      with PRC Labor and Employment Laws. No
      later
      than sixty (60) days after the Closing the Company shall be in compliance with
      the Labor Contract Law of the PRC, which was effective on January 1, 2008.
      The
      Company agrees to engage JunZeJun Law Office to assist in such
      compliance.

     

    Section
      3.27  Cap
      on
      2003 Equity Incentive Plan.
      At any
      time, and from time to time that the Company grants awards under its 2003 Equity
      Incentive Plan, the maximum number of awards granted shall be no more than
      10%
      of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at such
      time.

    The

      Shares, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making
      any
      transfer of any such securities, such holder thereof shall give written notice
      to the Company describing the manner and terms of such transfer and removal
      as
      the Company may reasonably request. Such proposed transfer and removal will
      not
      be effected until: (a) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel
      reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the registration
      of
      the Common Conversion Shares under the Securities Act is not required in
      connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration statement under
      the
      Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Company
      with the Commission and has become effective under the Securities Act and (b)
      either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably
      satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that registration or qualification

      such applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, but shall in no event be
      required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then
      qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general
      service of process in any state where it is not then subject, or (z) to comply
      with state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state for which registration by
      coordination is unavailable to the Company. The restrictions on transfer
      contained in this Section 5.1 shall be in addition to, and not by way of
      limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section
      of this Agreement. Whenever a certificate representing the Common Conversion
      Shares is required to be issued to a Purchaser without a legend, in lieu of
      delivering physical certificates representing the Common Conversion Shares
      (provided that a registration statement under the Securities Act providing
      for
      the resale of the Common Conversion Shares is then in effect), the Company
      shall
      cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Conversion Shares
      to a Purchaser by crediting the account of such Purchaser or such Purchaser's
      Prime Broker with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)

    Section
      6.2 Indemnification
      of Company.
      The
      Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless
      the
      Company (and its directors, officers, managers, partners, members, shareholders,
      affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) from and against any and all losses,

    Section
      6.3 Indemnification
      Procedure.
      Any
      party entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an “indemnified party”)
      will give prompt written notice to the party required to provide indemnification
      under this Article VI (the “indemnifying party”) of any matters giving rise to a
      claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled
      to
      indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve
      the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article VI except to the
      extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to
      give prompt notice. In case any action, proceeding or claim is brought against
      an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder,
      the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the
      reasonable judgment of the indemnified party a conflict of interest between
      it
      and the indemnifying party may exist with respect of such action, proceeding
      or
      claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
      the
      indemnified party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises an
      indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification
      hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification
      notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle
      or
      compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or
      discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then
      the
      indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise
      or
      pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party
      elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim,
      proceeding or action, the indemnified party’s costs and expenses arising out of
      the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding
      shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The indemnified party
      shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any
      negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party
      and
      shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available
      to
      the indemnified party which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying
      party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the
      status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.
      If
      the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the
      indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel
      of its choice at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall not
      be
      liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without
      its prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the
      contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party’s
      prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of
      any
      judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the
      indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof,
      the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a
      release from all liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification
      required by this Article VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount
      thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are
      received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the
      indemnified party irrevocably agrees to refund such moneys if it is ultimately
      determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled
      to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in
      addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party
      against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the
      indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

      Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction. 

     

    (a) The
      Company and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would
      occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement or the other
      Transaction Documents were not performed in accordance with their specific
      terms
      or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall
      be
      entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the
      provisions of this Agreement [or the Registration Rights Agreement] and to
      enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being

      addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or
      equity.

     

    (b) Each
      of
      the Company and the Purchaser (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction
      of the United States District Court sitting in the Southern District of New

      and the courts of the State of New York located in New York county for the
      purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
      Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the transactions
      contemplated hereby or thereby and (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert
      in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally
      subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding
      is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or
      proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the Purchaser consents to
      process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy
      thereof 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 in this Section 7.2 shall affect
      or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by
      law.

     

    Section
      7.3 Entire
      Agreement; Amendment.

      Agreement and the Transaction Documents collectively contain the entire
      understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the matters covered
      hereby and, except as specifically set forth herein or in the Transaction
      Documents, neither the Company nor the Purchaser makes any representations,

      matter, all of which are merged herein. No provision of this Agreement may

      Shares at such time), and no provision hereof may be waived other than by an

      PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR 

    CHINA
      BIO ENERGY HOLDING GROUP CO., LTD.

    

    FORM
      OF OPINION OF COUNSEL

     

    1. The
      Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good
      standing as such under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
      The
      Company has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its
      properties and assets, and to carry on its business as to our knowledge it
      is
      presently conducting such business. 

    

    2. The
      Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and
      perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents and to issue the
      Debenture and, subject to filing the Amendment and the Certificate of
      Designation, issue the Series B Preferred Stock upon conversion of the
      Debenture, and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B
      Preferred Stock. The execution, delivery and performance of each of the
      Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the
      transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly authorized by
      all
      necessary corporate action and no further consent or authorization of the
      Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is required, except for the
      filing and mailing of the Information Statement. Each of the Transaction
      Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and the
      Debenture has been duly executed, issued and delivered by the Company. Each
      of
      the Transaction Documents constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the
      Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its respective terms.
      Neither the Series B Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debenture
      when authorized will be, nor the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon conversion
      of the Series B Preferred Stock is, subject to any preemptive rights under
      the
      Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or the Company’s
      By-Laws.

    

    3. Upon
      filing the Amendment and the Certificate of Designation, the shares of Series
      B
      Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debenture will be duly
      authorized and reserved for issuance, and, when delivered upon conversion of
      the
      Debenture, as provided in the Debenture, will be validly issued, fully paid
      and
      nonassessable. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
      Preferred Stock have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance, and, when
      delivered upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, as provided in the
      Certificate of Designation, will be validly issued, fully paid and
      nonassessable.

    

    4. The
      Company’s execution, delivery and performance of, and compliance with the terms
      of, the Transaction Documents and the issuance of the Debenture does not, the
      Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debenture and the Common Stock
      issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock will not, as the case may be
      (i)
      violate any provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,
      or By-Laws, or (ii) result in a material violation of any federal or state
      statute, rule or regulation known to us to be customarily applicable to
      transactions of the nature contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or (iii)
      conflict with or violate any order, judgment, injunction or decree known to
      us
      to be applicable to the Company, except, with respect to clauses (i) and (iii)
      above, for such violations or conflicts as would not, individually or in the
      aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        G-1

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    5. To
      our
      knowledge, there is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding pending
      or threatened against the Company which questions the validity of the Purchase
      Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or to
      be
      taken pursuant thereto. To our knowledge, there is no action, suit, claim,
      investigation or proceeding pending or threatened against or involving the
      Company or any of its properties or assets and which, if adversely determined,
      is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. To our knowledge,
      there are no outstanding orders, judgments, injunctions, awards or decrees
      of
      any court, arbitrator or governmental or regulatory body against the
      Company.

    

    6. Based
      upon, and assuming the truth of, the representations and warranties and full
      performance of the covenants, of the Purchaser in the Purchase Agreement, the
      offer, issuance and sale of the Debenture are, and the issuance of the (a)
      shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debenture and (b)
      shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock will
      be
      exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities
      Act.

    Ladies
      and Gentlemen:

     

    Reference
      is made to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase
      Agreement”), dated as of October __, 2008, between China Bio Energy Holding
      Group Co., Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the purchaser named
      therein (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Company is issuing to the
      Purchaser a debenture convertible into shares of its Series B Convertible
      Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), which
      shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value
      $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). This letter shall serve as our
      irrevocable authorization and direction to you (provided that you are the
      transfer agent of the Company at such time) to issue Preferred Shares upon
      the
      automatic conversion under the Debenture and shares of Common Stock upon
      conversion of the Preferred Shares (the “Common Conversion Shares”) to or upon
      the order of the Purchaser from time to time upon (i) surrender to you of a
      properly completed and duly executed Conversion Notice, as the case may be,
      in
      the form attached hereto as Exhibit I, (ii) in the case of the conversion of
      Preferred Shares, a copy of the certificates (with the original certificates
      delivered to the Company) representing Preferred Shares being converted (or,
      in
      each case, an indemnification undertaking with respect to such share
      certificates in the case of their loss, theft or destruction), and (iii)
      delivery of a treasury order or other appropriate order duly executed by a
      duly
      authorized officer of the Company. So long as you have previously received
      (x)
      written confirmation from counsel to the Company that a registration statement
      covering resales of the Common Conversion Shares has been declared effective
      by
      the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of
      1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and no subsequent notice by the Company or
      its counsel of the suspension or termination of its effectiveness and (y) a
      copy
      of such registration statement, and if the Purchaser represents in writing
      that
      the Common Conversion Shares were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement,
      then certificates representing the Conversion Share shall not bear any legend
      restricting transfer of the Conversion Shares thereby and should not be subject
      to any stop-transfer restriction. Provided, however, that if you have not
      previously received those items and representations listed above, then the
      certificates for the Preferred Shares and the Common Conversion Shares shall
      bear the following legend:

    “THE
      SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
      SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE
      SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS
      REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR
      XI’AN BAORUN INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF
      ITS COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND
      UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT
      REQUIRED.”

     

    and,
      provided further, that the Company may from time to time notify you to place
      stop-transfer restrictions on the certificates for the Common Conversion Shares
      in the event a registration statement covering the Common Conversion Shares
      is
      subject to amendment for events then current.

     

    A
      form of
      written confirmation from counsel to the Company that a registration statement
      covering resales of the Common Conversion Shares has been declared effective
      by
      the SEC under the 1933 Act is attached hereto as Exhibit II.

    (a) At
      any
      time a Purchaser or the Purchasers, or a Holder or Holders owning more than
      25%
      of Registrable Securities (the “Initiating
      Holders”)
      may
      demand that the Company file a Registration Statement providing for the resale
      of all Registrable Securities (other than the Make Good Shares, if at such
      time
      the Make Good Shares have not been delivered to the Holder or Holders) then
      held
      by the Initiating Holders by giving written notice (a “Demand
      Notice”)
      to the
      Company, in which case all Holders of Registrable Securities may have all of
      their Registrable Securities included on such Registration Statement, by
      providing written notice of acceptance to the Company. The Demand Notice shall
      describe the number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of and
      the
      intended method of disposition. The Company shall then prepare and file with
      the
      Commission on or prior to the Filing Date, a “resale” Registration Statement
      providing for the resale of all Registrable Securities included in the Demand
      Notice for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415.
      Any such Registration Statements shall be on Form S-1 (except if the Company
      is
      not then eligible to register for resale such Registrable Securities on Form
      S-1, in which case such registrations shall be on another appropriate form
      in
      accordance herewith and the Securities Act and the rules promulgated
      thereunder). The Company shall (i) not permit any securities other than the
      Registrable Securities to be included in any such Registration Statement and
      (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause any such Registration Statement
      to
      be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after
      the
      filing thereof, but in any event prior to the applicable Effectiveness Date,
      and
      to keep any such Registration Statement continuously effective under the
      Securities Act until such date as is the earlier of (x) the date when all
      Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold
      or
      (y) the date on which the Registrable Securities may be sold without any
      restriction pursuant to Rule 144 as determined by the counsel to the Company
      pursuant to a written opinion letter, addressed to the Company’s transfer agent
      to such effect (the “Effectiveness
      Period”).
      The
      Company shall request that the effective time of any such Registration Statement
      is 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the applicable Effectiveness Date. 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (b) In
      the
      event that the Company is unable to register for resale under Rule 415 all
      of
      the Registrable Securities on the initial Registration Statement that it has
      agreed to file pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2(a) due to limits
      imposed by the Commission’s interpretation of Rule 415 of Regulation C, the
      Company will file an additional Registration Statement under the Securities
      Act
      with the Commission covering the resale by the Purchasers of such lesser amount
      of the Registrable Securities as the Company is able to register pursuant to
      the
      Commission’s interpretation of Rule 415 and use its reasonable best efforts to
      have such Registration Statement become effective as promptly as possible,
      and,
      when permitted to do so by the Commission, to file subsequent registration
      statement(s) under the Securities Act with the Commission covering the resale
      of
      any Registrable Securities that were omitted from its prior Registration
      Statements filed with the Commission pursuant to this Section 2(b) and use
      its
      reasonable best efforts to have such registration declared effective as promptly
      as possible. In furtherance of the Company’s obligations set forth in the
      preceding sentence, the parties hereby agree that in the event that any Holder
      shall deliver to the Company a written notice at any time after the later of
      (x)
      the date which is six months after the Effectiveness Date of the latest
      Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof, as
      applicable, or (y) the date on which all Registrable Securities registered
      on
      all of the prior Registration Statements filed pursuant to Section 2(a) and
      2(b)
      hereof are sold (the “Restricted
      Period”),
      that
      the Company shall file, within 30 days following the date of receipt of such
      written notice, an additional Registration Statement registering any Registrable
      Securities that were the subject of the applicable Demand Notice, but were
      omitted from such prior Registration Statements. 

     

    (c) On
      or
      prior to the Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission
      a Registration Statement covering the resale of the Make Good Shares on Form
      S-1
      (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale such
      Registrable Securities on Form S-1, in which case such registrations shall
      be on
      another appropriate form in accordance herewith and the Securities Act and
      the
      rules promulgated thereunder). The Company shall (i) not permit any securities
      other than the Make Good Shares to be included in any such Registration
      Statement and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause any such
      Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as
      promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event on or prior
      to
      the applicable Effectiveness Date, and to keep any such Registration Statement
      continuously effective under the Securities Act until such date as is the
      earlier of (x) the date when all Registrable Securities covered by such
      Registration Statement have been sold or (y) the date on which the Registrable
      Securities may be sold without any restriction pursuant to Rule 144 as
      determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter,
      addressed to the Company’s transfer agent to such effect. The Company shall
      request that the effective time of any such Registration Statement is 5:00
      p.m.
      Eastern Time on the Effectiveness Date. 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

    3. Registration
      Procedures.

    

    In
      connection with the Company's registration obligations hereunder, the Company
      shall:

     

    (a)
       Prepare
      and file with the Commission, on or prior to the Filing Date, a Registration
      Statement on Form S-1 (or if the Company is not then eligible to register for
      resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-1 such registration shall be on
      another appropriate form in accordance herewith and the Securities Act and
      the
      rules promulgated thereunder) in accordance with the plan of distribution as
      set
      forth on Exhibit
      A

      reasonable opinion of counsel, to conduct a reasonable review of such documents.
      The Company shall not file the Registration Statement or any such Prospectus
      or
      any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Purchasers shall reasonably
      object in writing within three (3) Business Days of their receipt
      thereof.

    

    (b) (i)
      Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective

      such additional Registration Statements as necessary in order to register for
      resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause
      the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus

      Act;
      (iii) respond as promptly as possible, but in no event later than ten (10)
      Business Days, to any comments received from the Commission with respect to
      the
      Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and as promptly as possible
      provide the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and
      to
      the Commission relating to the Registration Statement; (iv) file the final
      prospectus pursuant to Rule 424 of the Securities Act no later than two (2)
      Business Days following the date the Registration Statement is declared
      effective by the Commission; and (v) comply in all material respects with the
      provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the
      disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement
      during the Effectiveness Period in accordance with the intended methods of
      disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in the Registration Statement
      as so
      amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (c) Notify
      the Holders of Registrable Securities as promptly as possible (and, in the
      case
      of (i)(A) below, not less than three (3) Business Days prior to such filing,
      and
      in the case of (iii) below, on the same day of receipt by the Company of such
      notice from the Commission) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such
      notice in writing no later than one (1) Business Day following the day: (i)(A)
      when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment
      to
      the Registration Statement is filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the
      Company whether there will be a "review" of such Registration Statement and
      whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement
      and
      (C) with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment,
      when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or
      any
      other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements
      to
      the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii)
      of
      the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness
      of
      the Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities
      or
      the initiation or threatening of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of
      the
      receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of
      the
      qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable
      Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of
      any
      Proceeding for such purpose; (v) if at any time any representation or warranty
      of the Company contained in any agreement contemplated hereby ceases to be
      true
      and correct in all material respects; and (vi) of the occurrence of any event
      that makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or
      any
      document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue
      in any material respect or that requires any revisions to the Registration
      Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of the
      Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not
      contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
      fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
      in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
      misleading.

    

    (d) Use
      its
      best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal
      of,
      as promptly as possible, (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of the
      Registration Statement or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption
      from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities
      for sale in any jurisdiction.

    

    (e) If
      requested by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Registrable
      Securities, (i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or
      post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement such information as
      the
      Company reasonably agrees should be included therein and (ii) make all required
      filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon
      as practicable after the Company has received notification of the matters to
      be
      incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective
      amendment.

    

    (f) If
      requested by any Holder, furnish to such Holder , without charge, at least
      one
      conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto,
      including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or
      deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and all exhibits to the extent
      requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated
      by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the
      Commission.

    

    (g) Promptly
      deliver to each Holder, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or
      Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or
      supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request; and subject to the
      provisions of Sections 3(m) and 3(n), the Company hereby consents to the use
      of
      such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling
      Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities
      covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (h) Prior
      to
      any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to register
      or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with the
      registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or
      qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the
      securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States
      as
      any Holder requests in writing, to keep each such registration or qualification
      (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do
      any
      and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition
      in
      such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration
      Statement; provided,
      however,
      that
      the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any
      jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would
      subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it
      is
      not then so subject or subject the Company to any material tax in any such
      jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

    

    (i) Cooperate
      with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
      certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to a
      Registration Statement, which certificates, to the extent permitted by the
      Purchase Agreement, if applicable, and applicable federal and state securities
      laws, shall be free of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable
      Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any
      Holder may request in connection with any sale of Registrable
      Securities.

    

    (j) Upon
      the
      occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c)(vi), as promptly as
      possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective
      amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related
      Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein
      by
      reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter
      delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain
      an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
      to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light
      of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

    

    (k) Use
      its
      best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities relating to the Registration
      Statement to be listed on the NASDAQ or any other securities exchange, quotation
      system or market, if any, on which similar securities issued by the Company
      are
      then listed or traded.

    

    (l) Comply
      in
      all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the
      Commission and make generally available to its security holders all documents
      filed or required to be filed with the Commission, including, but not limited,
      to, earning statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
      Securities Act and Rule 158 not later than 45 days after the end of any 12-month
      period (or 90 days after the end of any 12-month period if such period is a
      fiscal year) commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of the
      Company after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which statement
      shall conform to the requirements of Rule 158. 

    

    (m) The
      Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company information
      regarding such Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as
      is
      required by law to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, Prospectus,
      or
      any amendment or supplement thereto, and the Company may exclude from such
      registration the Registrable Securities of any such Holder who unreasonably
      fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving
      such
      request.

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    If
      the
      Registration Statement refers to any Holder by name or otherwise as the holder
      of any securities of the Company, then such Holder shall have the right to
      require (if such reference to such Holder by name or otherwise is not required
      by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute then in force) the deletion
      of the reference to such Holder in any amendment or supplement to the
      Registration Statement filed or prepared subsequent to the time that such
      reference ceases to be required.

    

    Each
      Holder covenants and agrees that it will not sell any Registrable Securities
      under the Registration Statement until the Company has electronically filed
      the
      Prospectus as then amended or supplemented as contemplated in Section 3(g)
      and
      notice from the Company that the Registration Statement and any post-effective
      amendments thereto have become effective as contemplated by Section
      3(c).

    

    Each
      Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon
      receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the
      kind
      described in Section 3(c)(ii), 3(c)(iii), 3(c)(iv), 3(c)(v), 3(c)(vi) or 3(n),
      such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable
      Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder's receipt of
      the
      copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement
      contemplated by Section 3(j), or until it is advised in writing (the
      "Advice")
      by the
      Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either
      case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are
      incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or
      Registration Statement.

    

    (n) If
      (i)
      there is material non-public information regarding the Company which the
      Company's Board of Directors (the "Board")
      determines not to be in the Company's best interest to disclose and which the
      Company is not otherwise required to disclose, (ii) there is a significant
      business opportunity (including, but not limited to, the acquisition or
      disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any
      merger, consolidation, tender offer or other similar transaction) available
      to
      the Company which the Board determines not to be in the Company's best interest
      to disclose, or (iii) the Company is required to file a post-effective amendment
      to the Registration Statement to incorporate the Company’s quarterly and annual
      reports and audited financial statements on Forms 10-Q and 10-K, then the
      Company may (x) postpone or suspend filing of a registration statement for
      a
      period not to exceed thirty (30) consecutive days or (y) postpone or suspend
      effectiveness of a registration statement for a period not to exceed twenty
      (20)
      consecutive days; provided that the Company may not postpone or suspend
      effectiveness of a registration statement under this Section 3(n) for more
      than
      forty-five (45) days in the aggregate during any three hundred sixty (360)
      day
      period; provided,
      however,
      that no
      such postponement or suspension shall be permitted for consecutive twenty (20)
      day periods arising out of the same set of facts, circumstances or
      transactions.

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    4. Registration
      Expenses.

    

    All
      fees
      and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement
      by
      the Company, except as and to the extent specified in this Section 4, shall

      the
      foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration

      each

      such
      jurisdictions as the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities may
      designate)), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses
      of
      printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing prospectuses
      if
      the printing of prospectuses is requested by the holders of a majority of the
      Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement), (iii) messenger,
      telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) reasonable and itemized fees and

      limitation, the Company's independent public accountants (including the expenses
      of any comfort letters or costs associated with the delivery by independent
      public accountants of a comfort letter or comfort letters). In addition, the
      Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in
      connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
      Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its
      officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense
      of
      any annual audit, the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing

      The Company shall not be responsible for any discounts, commissions, transfer
      taxes or other similar fees incurred by the Holders in connection with the
      sale
      of the Registrable Securities.

    

    5. Indemnification.

     

    (a) Indemnification
      by the Company.
      The
      Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify
      and
      hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, managers, partners, members,
      shareholders, agents, brokers, investment advisors and employees of each of
      them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section
      15
      of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers,
      directors, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest
      extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims,
      damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, costs of preparation
      and attorneys' fees) and expenses (collectively, "Losses"),
      as
      incurred, arising out of or relating to any violation of securities laws or
      untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
      Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any
      amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising
      out
      of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required
      to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case
      of
      any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of
      the
      circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; provided,
      however,
      that
      (i)  the Company will not be liable in any case to the extent that any such
      Losses arise out of, or are based upon, any such untrue statement or alleged
      untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon
      and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by or
      on
      behalf of any such Holder for inclusion therein and (ii) the Company will
      not be liable to any indemnified party under this Section 5(a) with respect
      to
      any Registration Statement or Prospectus to the extent that any Losses of such
      indemnified party result solely from the indemnified party’s failure, at or
      prior to the written confirmation of a sale, to send or give an amended or
      supplemented Registration Statement or Prospectus (if delivery of a prospectus
      is required by the Securities Act and was not so made), which was delivered
      to
      such indemnified party before the sale in question to correct an untrue
      statement of a material fact contained in, or the omission of a material fact
      from, the Registration Statement or Prospectus. The Company shall notify the
      Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding
      of
      which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated
      by
      this Agreement.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

    (b) Indemnification
      by Holders.
      Each
      Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the
      Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls
      the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section
      20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents and employees
      of
      such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
      from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising solely out of or based solely
      upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
      Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or
      supplement thereto, or arising solely out of or based solely upon any omission
      of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
      statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or
      supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
      made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue
      statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing
      by
      such Holder or other Indemnifying Party to the Company specifically for
      inclusion in the Registration Statement or such Prospectus. Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary contained herein, each Holder shall be liable under
      this Section 5(b) only for the lesser of (a) the actual damages incurred or
      (b)
      that amount as does not exceed the gross proceeds to such Holder as a result
      of
      the sale of his/her/its Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration
      Statement.

    

    (c) Conduct
      of Indemnification Proceedings.
      If any
      Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity
      hereunder (an "Indemnified
      Party"),
      such
      Indemnified Party promptly shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity
      is sought (the "Indemnifying
      Party”)
      in
      writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense
      thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
      Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in
      connection with defense thereof; provided that the failure of any Indemnified
      Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
      obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to
      the
      extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
      (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such
      failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the
      Indemnifying Party.

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    An
      Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
      Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
      of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties
      unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and
      expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume
      the
      defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to
      such
      Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such
      Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified
      Party
      and the Indemnifying Party, and such parties shall have been advised by counsel
      that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to
      represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case,
      if
      such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects
      to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the
      Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and
      such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The
      Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding
      effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
      withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written
      consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or
      threatened Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party
      and
      indemnity has been sought hereunder, unless such settlement includes an
      unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims
      that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

    

    All
      indemnifiable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable
      fees and expenses incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to
      defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall
      be
      paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Business Days of
      written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it
      is
      ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to
      indemnification hereunder; provided,
      that the Indemnified Party shall reimburse all such fees and expenses to the
      extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not
      entitled to indemnification hereunder).

    

    (d) Contribution.
      If a
      claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is due but unavailable
      to
      an Indemnified Party because of a failure or refusal of a governmental authority
      to enforce such indemnification in accordance with its terms (by reason of
      public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of
      indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or
      payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion
      as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying
      Party on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other from the exercise
      of the Series A-1 Warrants, or the offering of the Debenture, as applicable.
      If,
      but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not permitted
      by applicable law, the allocation of contribution shall be made in such
      proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred
      to in the foregoing sentence but also the relative fault, as applicable, of
      the
      Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions,
      statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other
      relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying
      Party
      and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
      whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement
      of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has
      been
      taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying
      Party
      or Indemnified Party, and the parties'
      relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct
      or
      prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a
      party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the
      limitations set forth in Section 5(c), any reasonable attorneys' or other
      reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any
      Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees
      or
      expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available
      to
      such party in accordance with its terms. In no event shall any selling Holder
      be
      required to contribute an amount under this Section 5(d) in excess of the gross
      proceeds received by such Holder upon sale of such Holder’s Registrable
      Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement giving rise to such
      contribution obligation.

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    The
      parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
      pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by
      any
      other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable
      considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No Person
      guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f)
      of
      the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was
      not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

    

    The
      indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition
      to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified
      Parties pursuant to the law.

    

    6. Rule
      144.

     

    As
      long
      as any Holder owns Registrable 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 Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. As long as any Holder
      owns Registrable Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports
      pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it will prepare and
      furnish to the Holders and make publicly available in accordance with Rule
      144(c) promulgated under the Securities Act annual and quarterly financial
      statements, together with a discussion and analysis of such financial statements
      in form and substance substantially similar to those that would otherwise be
      required to be included in reports required by Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
      Exchange Act, as well as any other information required thereby, in the time
      period that such filings would have been required to have been made under the
      Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it will take such further
      action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent reasonably
      required from time to time to enable such Person to sell Registrable Securities
      without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the
      exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, including
      providing any legal opinions relating to such sale pursuant to Rule 144. Upon
      the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written
      certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with
      such requirements.

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    7. Miscellaneous.

    

    (a) Remedies.
      In the
      event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their obligations
      under this Agreement, such Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in
      addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under
      this
      Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific
      performance of its rights under this Agreement.
      The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not
      provide adequate
      compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of
      the
      provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of
      any
      action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the
      defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

    

    (b) No
      Inconsistent Agreements.
      The
      Company has not, as of the date hereof entered into and currently in effect,
      nor
      shall the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on or after the date of this
      Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is
      inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or
      otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Except as disclosed in
Schedule
      II
      hereto,
      the Company has not previously entered into any agreement currently in effect
      granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any
      Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the written
      consent of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable
      Securities, the Company shall not grant to any Person the right to request
      the
      Company to register any securities of the Company under the Securities Act
      unless the rights so granted are subject in all respects to the prior rights
      in
      full of the Holders set forth herein, and are not otherwise in conflict with
      the
      provisions of this Agreement.

    

    (c) No
      Piggyback on Registrations.
      Neither
      the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such
      capacity pursuant hereto or as disclosed in Schedule
      II
      hereto)
      may include securities of the Company in the Registration Statement, and the
      Company shall not after the date hereof enter into any agreement providing
      such
      right to any of its security holders, unless the right so granted is subject
      in
      all respects to the prior rights in full of the Holders set forth herein, and
      is
      not otherwise in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement.

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (d) Piggy-Back
      Registrations.
      If at
      any time when there is not an effective Registration Statement covering
      Registrable Securities, the Company shall determine to prepare and file with
      the
      Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account
      or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity
      securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the
      Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to
      be
      issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business
      or
      equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee
      benefit plans, the Company shall send to each holder of Registrable Securities
      written notice of such determination and, if within thirty (30) days after
      receipt of such notice, or within such shorter period of time as may be
      specified by the Company in such written notice as may be necessary for the
      Company to comply with its obligations with respect to the timing of the filing
      of such registration statement, any such holder shall so request in writing
      (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed
      of by the Purchasers), the Company will cause the registration under the
      Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so
      requested to register by the holder, to the extent requisite to permit the
      disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be registered, provided that
      if
      at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any
      securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed
      in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason
      not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may,
      at
      its election, give written notice of such determination to such holder and,
      thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved
      of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with
      such
      registration (but not from its obligation to pay expenses in accordance with
      Section 4 hereof), and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering,
      shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities being
      registered pursuant to this Section 7(d) for the same period as the delay in
      registering such other securities. The Company shall include in such
      registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such
      holder requests to be registered; provided,
      however,
      that
      the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities
      pursuant to this Section 7(d) that are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144
      of
      the Securities Act. In the case of an underwritten public offering, if the
      managing underwriter(s) or underwriter(s) should reasonably object to the
      inclusion of the Registrable Securities in such registration statement, then
      if
      the Company after consultation with the managing underwriter should reasonably
      determine that the inclusion of such Registrable Securities would materially
      adversely affect the offering contemplated in such registration statement,
      and
      based on such determination recommends inclusion in such registration statement
      of fewer or none of the Registrable Securities of the Holders, then (x) the
      number of Registrable Securities of the Holders included in such registration
      statement shall be reduced pro-rata among such Holders (based
      upon the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the
      registration), if the Company after consultation with the underwriter(s)
      recommends the inclusion of fewer Registrable Securities, or (y) none of the
      Registrable Securities of the Holders shall be included in such registration
      statement, if the Company after consultation with the underwriter(s) recommends
      the inclusion of none of such Registrable Securities; provided,
      however,
      that if
      securities are being offered for the account of other persons or entities as
      well as the Company, such reduction shall not represent a greater fraction
      of
      the number of Registrable Securities intended to be offered by the Holders
      than
      the fraction of similar reductions imposed on such other persons or entities
      (other than the Company). 

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (e) Failure
      to File Registration Statement and Other Events.
      The
      Company and the Purchasers agree that the Holders will suffer damages if the
      Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date and not
      declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Date
      and
      maintained in the manner contemplated herein during the Effectiveness Period
      or
      if certain other events occur. The Company and the Holders further agree that
      it
      would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision.
      Accordingly, if (A) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to
      the
      Filing Date, or (B) the Registration Statement is not declared effective by
      the
      Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Date, or (C) the Company fails
      to
      file with the Commission a request for acceleration in accordance with Rule
      461
      promulgated under the Securities Act within three (3) Business Days of the
      date
      that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by
      the
      Commission that a Registration Statement will not be "reviewed," or not subject
      to further review, or (D) the Registration Statement is filed with and declared
      effective by the Commission but thereafter ceases to be effective as to all
      Registrable Securities at any time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness
      Period, without being succeeded immediately by a subsequent Registration
      Statement filed with and declared effective by the Commission in accordance
      with
      Section 2(a) hereof, or (E) the Company has breached Section 3(n) of this
      Agreement, or (F) trading in the Common Stock shall be suspended or if the
      Common Stock is no longer quoted on the OTCBB, or is delisted from the NASDAQ
      (or other principal exchange on which the Common Stock is traded), as
      applicable, for any reason for more than three (3) Business Days in the
      aggregate (any such failure or breach being referred to as an "Event,"
      and
      for purposes of clauses (A) and (B) the date on which such Event occurs, or
      for
      purposes of clauses (C) and (F) the date on which such three (3) Business Day
      period is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (D) after more than fifteen (15)
      Business Days, being referred to as "Event
      Date"),
      the
      Company shall pay an amount in cash as liquidated damages to each Holder equal
      to one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price: (1) on the Event Date; and (2) for
      each calendar month or portion thereof thereafter from the Event Date until
      the
      applicable Event is cured; provided,
      however,
      that in
      no event shall the amount of liquidated damages payable at any time and from
      time to time to any Holder pursuant to this Section 7(e) exceed an aggregate
      of
      ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price; and
      provided,
      further,
      that in
      the event the Commission does not permit all of the Registrable Securities
      to be
      included in the Registration Statement because of its application of Rule 415,
      liquidated damages payable pursuant to this Section shall be payable by the
      Company based on one percent (1%) of the portion of the Purchase Price that
      corresponds to the number of such Holder’s Registrable Securities permitted to
      be registered by the Commission in such Registration Statement pursuant to
      Rule
      415, but are not so registered due to one or more of the events specified above
      in (A) though (F). For further clarification, the parties understand that no
      liquidated damages shall be payable pursuant to this Section with respect to
      any
      Registrable Securities that the Company is not permitted to include on such
      Registration Statement due to the Commission’s application of Rule 415.
      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), if (a) any
      of
      the Events described in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) or (F) shall have occurred,
      (b) on or prior to the applicable Event Date, the Company shall have exercised
      its rights under Section 3(n) hereof and (c) the postponement or suspension
      permitted pursuant to such Section 3(n) shall remain effective as of such
      applicable Event Date, then the applicable Event Date shall be deemed instead
      to
      occur on the second Business Day following the termination of such postponement
      or suspension. Liquidated damages payable by the Company pursuant to this
      Section 7(d) shall be payable on the Event Date and the first (1st)
      Business Day of each thirty (30) day period following the Event Date.
      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall
      any
      liquidated damages be payable with respect to any issued Additional Share
      Issuances.

    

    (f) Amendments
      and Waivers.
      The
      provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may
      not
      be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures
      from
      the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing
      and
      signed by (i) the Company, (ii) the Purchasers, provided that the Purchasers
      hold Registrable Securities at such time, and (iii) the Holders of 25% the
      Registrable Securities, of which the Purchasers’ ownership of Registrable
      Securities shall be part. 

    

    (g) Notices.
      Any
      notice, demand, request, waiver or other communication required or permitted
      to

      This
      Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and
      their successors and permitted assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each
      Holder and its successors and assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement
      or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent
      of each Holder. 

    

    (i) Assignment
      of Registration Rights.
      The
      rights of each Holder hereunder, including the right to have the Company
      register for resale Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of
      this
      Agreement, shall be automatically assignable by each Holder to any Person who

      or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished

    (j) Counterparts.
      This
      Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when
      so
      executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together
      shall constitute one and the same Agreement and shall become effective when
      counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties
      hereto, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.
      In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such
      signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or
      on
      whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect
      as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.

     

    (k) Governing
      Law; Jurisdiction.
      This
      Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal
      laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any of the conflicts
      of
      law principles which would result in the application of the substantive law
      of
      another jurisdiction. This Agreement shall not be interpreted or construed
      with
      any presumption against the party causing this Agreement to be drafted. The
      Company and the Holders agree that venue for any dispute arising under this
      Agreement will lie exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New
      York County, New York, and the parties irrevocably waive any right to raise
      forum
      non conveniens
      or any
      other argument that New York is not the proper venue. The Company and the
      Holders irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction in the state and federal
      courts of the state of New York. The Company and the Holders consent to process
      being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof
      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 in this Section 7(k) shall affect or limit any
      right
      to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The Company and the
      Holders hereby agree that the prevailing party in any suit, action or proceeding
      arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Warrant Exercise Agreement,
      shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable legal fees from the
      non-prevailing party. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by
      jury.

    

    (l) Cumulative
      Remedies.
      The
      remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies
      provided by law.

    

    (m) Severability.
      If any
      term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held to be
      invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable in any respect, 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 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.

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (n) 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.

    

    (o) Shares
      Held by the Company and its Affiliates.
      Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of
      Registrable Securities is required hereunder, Registrable Securities held by
      the
      Company or its Affiliates (other than any Holder or transferees or successors
      or
      assigns thereof if such Holder is deemed to be an Affiliate solely by reason
      of
      its holdings of such Registrable Securities) shall not be counted in determining
      whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required
      percentage.

    Exhibit
      A

    Plan
      of Distribution

     

    The
      selling security holders and any of their pledgees, donees, assignees and
      successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares
      of common stock being offered under this prospectus on any stock exchange,
      market or trading facility on which shares of our common stock are traded or
      in
      private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The
      selling security holders may use any one or more of the following methods when
      disposing of shares:

     

    
      	 	
              ·

            	
              ordinary
                brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
                solicits a Purchaser;

            

    

     

    
      	 	
              ·

            	
              block
                trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares
                as agent
                but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
                facilitate the transaction;

            

    

     

    
      	 	
              ·

            	
              purchases
                by a broker-dealer as principal and resales by the broker-dealer
                for its
                account;

            

    

     

    
      	 	
              ·

            	
              an
                exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
                exchange;

            

    

     

    
      	 	
              ·

            	
              privately
                negotiated transactions;

            

    

     

    
      	 	
              ·

            	
              to
                cover short sales made after the date that the registration statement
                of
                which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the
                Commission;

            

    

     

    
      	 	
              ·

            	
              broker-dealers
                may agree with the selling security holders to sell a specified number
                of
                such shares at a stipulated price per
                share;

            

    

     

    
      	 	
              ·

            	
              a
                combination of any of these methods of sale;
                and

            

    

     

    
      	 	
              ·

            	
              any
                other method permitted pursuant to applicable
                law.

            

    

     

    The
      shares may also be sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
      amended (“Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus. The
      selling security holders have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept
      any
      purchase offer or make any sale of shares if they deem the purchase price to
      be
      unsatisfactory at any particular time.

     

    The
      selling security holders may pledge their shares to their brokers under the
      margin provisions of customer agreements. If a selling security holder defaults
      on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged
      shares.

     

    Broker-dealers
      engaged by the selling security holders may arrange for other broker-dealers
      to
      participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from
      the selling security holders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for a
      purchaser of shares, from a purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, which
      commissions as to a particular broker or dealer may be in excess of customary
      commissions to the extent permitted by applicable law.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    If
      sales
      of shares offered under this prospectus are made to broker-dealers as
      principals, we would be required to file a post-effective amendment to the
      registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. In the post-effective
      amendment, we would be required to disclose the names of any participating
      broker-dealers and the compensation arrangements relating to such
      sales.

     

    The
      selling security holders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved
      in
      selling the shares offered under this prospectus may be deemed to be
“underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these
      sales. Commissions received by these broker-dealers or agents and any profit
      on
      the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
      commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Any broker-dealers or agents
      that are deemed to be underwriters may not sell shares offered under this
      prospectus unless and until we set forth the names of the underwriters and
      the
      material details of their underwriting arrangements in a supplement to this
      prospectus or, if required, in a replacement prospectus included in a
      post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus
      is a part.

     

    The
      selling security holders and any other persons participating in the sale or
      distribution of the shares offered under this prospectus will be subject to
      applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations under
      that act, including Regulation M. These provisions may restrict activities
      of,
      and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by, the selling
      security holders or any other person. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons
      engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously
      engaging in market making and other activities with respect to those securities
      for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions,
      subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. All of these limitations may
      affect the marketability of the shares.

     

    If
      any of
      the shares of common stock offered for sale pursuant to this prospectus are
      transferred other than pursuant to a sale under this prospectus, then subsequent
      holders could not use this prospectus until a post-effective amendment or
      prospectus supplement is filed, naming such holders. We offer no assurance
      as to
      whether any of the selling security holders will sell all or any portion of
      the
      shares offered under this prospectus.

     

    We
      have
      agreed to pay all fees and expenses we incur incident to the registration of
      the
      shares being offered under this prospectus. However, each selling security
      holder and purchaser is responsible for paying any discounts, commissions and
      similar selling expenses they incur. 

     

    We
      and
      the selling security holders have agreed to indemnify one another against
      certain losses, damages and liabilities arising in connection with this
      prospectus, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
