Warranties of the Company.  The Company represents and warrants
to each of the Purchasers that the statements contained in this Section 2.1 are
true, correct and complete as of the date hereof, and will be true correct and

Schedules"):

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Exhibit
10.26

    

    

    a.           Organization and
Qualification.  The Company duly incorporated, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of Delaware, with the requisite corporate
power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its
business as currently conducted. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign
corporation to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in
each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property
owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be
so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not, individually or
in the aggregate, (x) adversely affect the legality, validity or enforceability
of any of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents (as defined in Section
2.1(b)) or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (y) have or
result in a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, or
financial condition of the Company, taken as a whole or (z) impair the Company’s
ability to perform fully on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction
Document (any of (x), (y) or (z), being a “Material Adverse
Effect”).  The Company has made available to the Purchaser true
and correct copies of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended and
as in effect on the date hereof (the “Certificate of
Incorporation”), and the Company's Bylaws, as in effect on the date
hereof (the “Bylaws”).

    

    b.           Authorization;
Enforcement.  The Company has the requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction
Documents”), and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and
thereunder.  The execution and delivery of each of this Agreement and
the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action by the Company.  Each of this Agreement and
the Transaction Documents has been duly executed by the Company and when
delivered in accordance with the terms hereof will constitute the valid and
binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance
with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws
relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and
remedies or by other equitable principles of general application and except that
rights to indemnification and contribution may be limited by Federal or state
securities laws or public policy relating thereto.

    

    c.           Capitalization.  As
of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company is as set forth
in Schedule
2.1(c).  All of such outstanding shares of capital stock have
been, or upon issuance will be, validly authorized and issued, fully paid and
nonassessable. No securities of the Company are entitled to preemptive or
similar rights, and no Person (as hereinafter defined) has any right of first
refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to
participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents.  Except as a result of the purchase and sale of the Shares
and those outstanding warrants as identified in Schedule 2.1(c), there are no
outstanding options, warrants, script rights to subscribe to, calls or
commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or
obligations convertible into or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right
to subscribe for or acquire, any shares of Common Stock, or contracts,
commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any
subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock, or
securities or rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common
Stock.  The issue and sale of the Shares  will not obligate
the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person
(other than the Purchasers) and will not result in a right of any holder of
Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price
under such securities.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Exhibit
10.26

    

    

    d.           Authorization and Validity;
Issuance of Shares. The Shares are and will at all times hereafter
continue to be duly authorized and reserved for issuance and, when issued and
paid for in accordance with this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, will
be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all
liens.

    

    e.           No
Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the
consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the
Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or other organizational documents of the
Company, (ii) subject to obtaining the
consents referred to in Section 2.1(f), 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, patent, patent license or instrument
(evidencing a Company debt or otherwise) to which the Company is a party or by
which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, except where
such conflict or violation has not resulted or would not reasonably be expected
to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect, or
(iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment,
injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority
to which the Company is subject (including Federal and state securities laws and
regulations and the rules and regulations of the principal market or exchange on
which the Common Stock is traded or listed), or by which any material property
or asset of the Company is bound, except where such conflict has not resulted or
would not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in
a Material Adverse Effect.

    

    f.           Consents and
Approvals. The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver,
authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or
registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other
governmental authority, regulatory or self regulatory agency, or other Person in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this
Agreement or the Transaction Documents, other than (i) the filing of a
registration statement with the Commission, which shall be filed in accordance
with and in the time periods set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement,
(ii) the application(s) or any letter(s) acceptable to the Nasdaq National
Market (“Nasdaq”) for the
listing of the Common Stock with Nasdaq (and with any other national securities
exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then listed), and (iii) any
filings, notices or registrations under applicable Federal or state securities
laws (together with the consents, waivers, authorizations, orders, notices and
filings referred to on Schedule 2.1(f), the
“Required
Approvals”), except where failure to do so has not resulted or would not
reasonably result, individually, or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse
Effect. “Person” means an
individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated
association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company,
government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any
kind.

    

    g.           Litigation;
Proceedings. Except as specifically set forth on Schedule 2.1(g) or in
the SEC Documents (as hereinafter defined), there is no action, suit, notice of
violation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries
or any of their respective properties before or by any court, governmental or
administrative agency or regulatory authority (Federal, state, county, local or
foreign) (collectively, an “Action”) which (i)
adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any
of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents or (ii) would reasonably be
expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect.  Neither the Company nor any subsidiary, nor, to the knowledge
of the Company, any officer thereof, is or has been, nor, to the knowledge of
the Company, any director thereof is or has been for the last three years, the
subject of any Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under
federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary
duty.  There has not been, and, to the knowledge of the Company, there
is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the Commission involving
the Company or any current or former director that was a director of the Company
at any time during the last three years or officer of the
Company.  The Commission has not issued any stop order or other order
suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company
or any subsidiary under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Exhibit
10.26

    

    

    h.           No Default or
Violation. The Company (i) is not in default under or in violation of any
indenture, loan or other credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument
to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound and
which is required to be included as an exhibit to any SEC Document (as defined
in Section 2.1(j)) or will be required to be included as an exhibit to the
Company’s next filing under either the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), (ii)
is not in violation of any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body
applicable to it, (iii) is  not in violation of any statute, rule or
regulation of any governmental authority to which it is subject, (iv) is not in
default under or in violation of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or
other organizational documents, respectively in the case of (i), (ii) and (iii),
except where such violations have not resulted or would not reasonably result,
individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.

    

    i.           Private
Offering.  The Company and all Persons acting on its behalf
have not made, directly or indirectly, and will not make, offers or sales of any
securities or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that
would require registration of the Common Stock  or the issuance of
such securities under the Securities Act. Subject to the accuracy and
completeness of the representations and warranties of the Purchasers contained
in Section 2.2, the offer, sale and issuance by the Company to the
Purchasers  of the Common Stock and  is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act.

    

    j.           SEC Documents; Financial
Statements. The Common Stock of the Company is registered pursuant to
Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.  Since December 31, 2000, the
Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents
required to be filed by it, with the Commission, pursuant to Section 13, 14 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act (the foregoing materials and all exhibits included
therein and financial statements and schedules thereto and documents (other than
exhibits to such documents) incorporated by reference therein being collectively
referred to herein as the “SEC Documents”), on a
timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has
filed any such SEC Documents prior to the expiration of any such
extension.  As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied
in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated
thereunder, and none of the SEC Documents, when filed, contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  The
financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents comply in all
material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and
regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of
filing.  Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis
during the periods involved ("GAAP"), except as may
be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto, and
fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company
and its consolidated subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the
results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the
case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit
adjustments.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Exhibit
10.26

    

    

    k.           Material
Changes.  Since the date of the latest audited financial
statements included within the SEC Documents, except as specifically disclosed
in the SEC Documents, (i) there has been no event, occurrence or development
that has had or that could result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the Company
has not incurred any liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade
payables and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business
consistent with past practice and (B) liabilities not required to be reflected
in the Company's financial statements pursuant to GAAP or required to be
disclosed in filings made with the Commission, (iii) the Company has not altered
its method of accounting or the identity of its auditors, (iv) the Company has
not declared or made any dividend or distribution of cash or other property to
its stockholders or purchased, redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or
redeem any shares of its capital stock, and (v) the Company has not issued any
equity securities to any officer, director or affiliate, except pursuant to
existing Company stock option plans. The Company does not have pending before
the Commission any request for confidential treatment of
information.

    

    l.           Patents and
Trademarks.  The Company and its subsidiaries have, or have
rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark
applications, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and other similar
rights that are necessary or material for use in connection with their
respective businesses as described in the SEC Documents and which the failure to
so have could have, or reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse
Effect (collectively, the "Intellectual Property
Rights").  Neither the Company nor any subsidiary has received
a written notice that the Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company or
any subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of any Person which if
determined adversely to the Company would, individually or in the aggregate have
a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, all such
Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing
infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property
Rights.

    

    m.           Transactions With Affiliates
and Employees.  Except as set forth in SEC Documents, none of
the officers or directors of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company,
none of the employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction
with the Company or any subsidiary (other than for services as employees,
officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement
providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real
or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any
officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any
entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial
interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Exhibit
10.26

    

    

    n.           Solvency.  Except
as set forth in the SEC Documents, based on the financial condition of the
Company as of the Closing Date, (i) the Company's fair saleable value of its
assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of
the Company's existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent
liabilities) as they mature; (ii) the Company's assets do not constitute
unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year
as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs
taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business
conducted by the Company, and projected capital requirements and capital
availability thereof; and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together
with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its
assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be
sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are
required to be paid.  The Company does not intend to incur debts
beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the
timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its
debt).

    

    o.           Listing and Maintenance
Requirements.  The Company has not, in the two years preceding
the date hereof, received notice (written or oral) from any  exchange
or market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the
effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance
requirements of such exchange or market. The Company is, and has no reason to
believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance
with all such listing and maintenance requirements.  The issuance and
sale of the Shares  hereunder does not contravene the rules and
regulations of the Nasdaq OTC Market and no approval of the shareholders of the
Company is required for the Company to issue and deliver to the Purchasers the
number of Shares contemplated by this Agreement.

    

    p.           Registration
Rights.  The Company has not granted or agreed to grant to any
Person any rights (including "piggy-back" registration rights) to have any
securities of the Company registered with the Commission or any other
governmental authority that have not been satisfied except as noted on the
Disclosure Schedules.

    

    q.           Broker’s
Fees.  No fees or commissions or similar payments with respect
to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents
have been paid or will be payable by the Company to any third party broker,
financial advisor, finder, investment banker, or bank.  The Purchaser
shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims
made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this
Section 2.1(q) that may be due in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

    

    2.2           Representations and
Warranties of the Purchasers.  Each of the Purchasers,
severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to the Company as
follows:

    

    a.           Organization;
Authority.  Such Purchaser, as applicable, is a corporation or
a limited liability company or limited partnership duly formed, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or
formation with the requisite power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to
enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and by this
Agreement and the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its
obligations hereunder and thereunder.  The purchase by such Purchaser,
as applicable, of the shares of Common Stock  hereunder has been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of such
Purchaser.  Each of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents has
been duly executed and delivered by each Purchaser and constitutes the valid and
legally binding obligation of each Purchaser, enforceable against such Purchaser
in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability
relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles
of equity and except that rights to indemnification and contribution may be
limited by Federal or state securities laws or public policy relating
thereto.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Exhibit
10.26

    

    

    b.           Investment
Intent.  Such Purchaser is acquiring the shares of Common
Stock  for its own account and not with a present view to or for
distributing or reselling the shares of Common Stock or any part thereof or
interest therein in violation of the Securities Act. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Purchaser to hold the
Shares  for any period of time.  Such Purchaser is acquiring
the Shares  hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such
Purchaser does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly,
with any Person to distribute any of the Shares.

    

    c.           Purchaser
Status.  At the time such Purchaser was offered the Common
Stock, and at the Closing Date, (i) it was and will be an “accredited investor”
as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act and (ii) such Purchaser, either
alone or together with its representatives, had and will have such knowledge,
sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the
Common Stock. Such Purchaser is not a registered broker-dealer under Section 15
of the Exchange Act.

    

    d.           Reliance.  Such
Purchaser understands and acknowledges that (i) the shares of Common Stock are
being offered and sold to the Purchaser without registration under the
Securities Act in a private placement that is exempt from the registration
provisions of the Securities Act under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or
Regulation D promulgated thereunder and (ii) the availability of such exemption
depends in part on, and the Company will rely upon the accuracy and truthfulness
of, the representations set forth in this Section 2.2 and such Purchaser hereby
consents to such reliance.

    

    e.           Information.  Such
Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials
relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials
relating to the offer and sale of the Common Stock  which have been
requested by such Purchaser or its advisors.  Such Purchaser and its
advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the
Company. The Purchaser understands that its investment in the Common
Stock  involves a significant degree of risk. Neither such inquiries
nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Purchaser or its
representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser's right
to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Company's representations
and warranties contained in this Agreement or the Transaction
Documents.

    OTHER
AGREEMENTS

    

    3.1           Transfer
Restrictions.

    

    a.           If
any Purchaser should decide to dispose of the Common Stock held by it, such
Purchaser understands and agrees that it may do so (1) only pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (2) pursuant to an
available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
(3) to an affiliate of the Purchaser, or (4) pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”).  In connection with any
transfer of any Common Stock other than pursuant to an effective registration
statement, Rule 144, to the Company or to an affiliate of the Purchasers, the
Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company a written
opinion of counsel experienced in the area of United States securities laws
selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be
customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions and reasonably
acceptable to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require
registration of such transferred securities under the Securities Act; provided,
however, that if the Common Stock may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k), no
written opinion of counsel shall be required from any Purchaser if such
Purchaser provides reasonable assurances that such security can be sold pursuant
to Rule 144(k).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company hereby
consents to and agrees to register any transfer by any Purchaser to an affiliate
of such Purchaser, provided that the transferee certifies to the Company that it
is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities
Act.  Any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the
terms of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and shall have the
rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Transaction
Documents.  The Company shall not require an opinion of counsel in
connection with the transfer of the shares of Common Stock to an affiliate of a
Purchaser.

    

    b.           The
Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section
3.1(b), of the following legend on the Common Stock:

     

     
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE
UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
(THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT
PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR
PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO
THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY
ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.  THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN
CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH
SHARES.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Exhibit
10.26

     

     

    The
Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge
pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement or grant a security interest in some or
all of the shares of Common Stock and if required under the terms of such
arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured shares of Common
Stock to the pledgees or secured parties.  Such a pledge or transfer
would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of the
pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection
therewith.  Further, no notice shall be required of such
pledge.  At the appropriate Purchaser's expense, the Company will
execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party
reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the shares of
Common Stock, including the preparation and filing of any required prospectus
supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or other applicable
provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling
stockholders thereunder.

    

    Neither
the Common Stock shall contain the legend set forth above (or any other legend)
(i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is
effective under the Securities Act, (ii) if in the written opinion of counsel to
the Company experienced in the area of United States securities laws such legend
is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including
judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the
Commission) or (iii) if such Common Stock may be sold pursuant to Rule
144(k).  The Company agrees that it will provide any Purchaser, upon
request, with a certificate or certificates representing shares of Common Stock
free from such legend at such time as such legend is no longer required
hereunder.  If such certificate or certificates had previously been
issued with such a legend or any other legend, the Company shall, upon request
and upon the delivery of the legended certificate(s), reissue such certificate
or certificates free of any legend. The Company agrees that following the
effective date of the registration statement meeting the requirements set forth
in the Registration Rights Agreement and covering the resale of the Shares by
the Purchasers or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this
Section 3.1, it will, no later than three Trading Days (as such term is defined
in the Registration Rights Agreement) following the delivery by a Purchaser to
the Company or the Company's transfer agent of a certificate representing Shares
an issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to such
Purchaser a certificate representing such Shares that is free from all
restrictive and other legends.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Exhibit
10.26

    

    

    When the
Company is required to cause unlegended certificates to replace previously
issued legended certificates, if unlegended certificates are not delivered to a
Holder within three (3) Business Days of submission by that Holder of legended
certificate(s) to the Company’s transfer agent together with a representation
letter in customary form, the Company shall be liable to the Holder for
liquidated damages in an amount equal to 1.5% of the aggregate purchase price of
the securities evidenced by such certificate(s) for each thirty (30) day period
(or portion thereof) beyond such three (3) Business Days that the unlegended
certificates have not been so delivered

    

    3.2           Stop Transfer
Instruction.  The Company may not make any notation on its
records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company which enlarge

Not used.

    

    3.4           Furnishing of
Information.  As long as any Purchaser owns shares of Common
Stock, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect
thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be
filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange
Act.  Upon the request of any such Person, the Company shall deliver
to such Person a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to
whether it has complied with the preceding sentence. As long as any Purchaser
owns shares of Common Stock if the Company is not required to file reports
pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and make
publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is
required for the Purchasers to sell the Shares under Rule 144.

    

    3.5           Integration.  The
Company shall not, and shall use its best efforts to ensure that no affiliate of
the Company shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise
negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities
Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the shares of Common
Stock hereunder in a manner that would require the registration under the
Securities Act of the sale of the shares Common Stock to the Purchasers, or that
would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares for purposes of the
rules and regulations of the Nasdaq National Market, if such integration would
result in a violation of any such rule or regulation.

    

    3.6           Non-Public
Information. Except for information regarding the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the terms and
conditions hereof and thereof, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it
nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its
agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes
material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have
executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such
information.  The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser
shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in
securities of the Company.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, no Purchaser shall engage in any trading activity in the Company's
securities in violation of Regulation M of the Exchange Act.

    

    3.7           Use of

Company shall not use the net proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common
Stock hereunder to repay any of its short-term or long-term debt
instruments

Purchaser under this Agreement or any Transaction Document are several and not
joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be
responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
Purchaser under this Agreement or any Transaction Document.  Nothing
contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any
Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a
partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or
create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as

additional 21 shares of Common Stock were distributed by MLBC and have been
registered for resale in the names of the transferees.

    Schedule 2.1 (g) Litigation

    

    Various
lawsuits and claims have been brought against us in the normal course of our
business. In January 2003, an action was brought against us in the Circuit Court
of Loudon County, Virginia, for a breach of a real estate lease. The case was
settled in August 2003. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, we agreed
to assign a note receivable with recourse equal to the unpaid portion of the
note should the note obligor default on future payments. The unpaid balance of
the note was $545,000, of which the current unpaid principal portion is
approximately $62,000 and it matures in December 2007.  At the maturity date of the note, we
will be liable for additional payments totaling approximately $31,000 which we
have recognized as a current liability..

    

    In
October 2003, we were served with a summons and complaint in Superior Court of
North Carolina regarding unpaid invoices for services rendered by one of our
subcontractors.  The amount in dispute was approximately $200,000 and
is included in accounts payable. Subsequent to March 31, 2004, we settled this
litigation.  Under the terms of the settlement agreement, we agreed to
pay a total of $189,000 plus interest over a 19-month period ending November 15,
2005. The Company is in the process of negotiating a series of payments for the
remaining liability of approximately $80,000.

    

    In March
2004, we were served with a summons and complaint in Superior Court of North
Carolina regarding a security deposit for a sublease in Virginia. The amount in
dispute is approximately $247,000.

    In October 2004, we
reached a settlement agreement wherein we agreed to pay $160,000 over a 36-month
period ending October 2007.

     

    In
August  2004, we were notified that we were in default under an
existing lease agreement for office facilities in Princeton, New Jersey. The
amount of the default is approximately $65,000. Under the terms of the lease
agreement, we may be liable for future rents should the space remain vacant. We
have reached a settlement agreement with the landlord which calls for a total
payment of $200,000 and is included in accounts payable, over a 31-month period
ending October 2007.

    

    In
October 2005, we were notified that Critical Mass Mail, Inc. had filed a claim
against us for failure to pay certain liabilities under an Asset Purchase
Agreement dated January 9, 2004. We in turn filed that Critical Mass Mail, Inc.
failed to deliver certain assets and other documents under the same Asset
purchase agreement. We had already reserved the potential liability under the
Agreement as part of the asset purchase accounting. In February, 2006, Critical
Mass Mail amended their complaint and is seeking damages of approximately
$600,000 for our failure to timely register the underlying securities issued in
the Asset Purchase. In December 2006 we settled this litigation. Under the terms
of the settlement agreement, the Company agreed to pay the sum of $45,000 in
monthly installments over nine consecutive months beginning on December 1, 2006
and to issue Critical Mass Mail, Inc. $50,000 value of common shares of Cicero,
Inc, based on the trailing three day average price for Cicero common stock after
such stock initially trades on the OTC Bulletin Board.

expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable

Holder;

incremental expenses incurred by the Company as a result of the inclusion of a
Holder’s Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering where the Holder or
any of its Affiliates is an underwriter of the Registrable Securities which

independent underwriter” under the applicable rules of the NASD shall be paid by

any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such
Holder or any such director or officer or participating person or controlling
person may become subject under the Securities Act or any other statute or at
common law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in any
Registration Statement under which such securities were registered under the
Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) any alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse
such Holder or such director, officer or participating person or controlling
person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Holder or
such director, officer or participating person or controlling person in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in this Section 5(a), the Company shall not be liable to indemnify any
person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon (1) any actual or alleged untrue
statement or actual or alleged omission either (x) made in such Registration
Statement, preliminary prospectus, prospectus or amendment or supplement in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by such Holder specifically for use therein or so furnished for such
purposes by any underwriter or (y) that had been corrected in a preliminary
prospectus, prospectus supplement or amendment which had been furnished to such
Holder prior to any distribution of the document alleged to contain the untrue
statement or omission to offerees or purchasers, (2) any offer or sale of
Registrable Securities after receipt by such Holder of a Standstill Notice under
Section 3(g) and prior to the delivery of the prospectus supplement or amendment
contemplated by Section 3(g), or (3) the Holder’s failure to comply with the
prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act or failure to
distribute its Registrable Securities in a manner consistent with its intended
plan of distribution as provided to the Company and disclosed in the
Registration Statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall not be required to indemnify any person for amounts paid in settlement of
any claim without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld.  Such indemnity shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such
Holder or such director, officer or participating person or controlling person,
and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such
Holder.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Exhibit
10.26

     

     

    (b)           Each
Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
its directors and officers and each person who participated in such offering and
each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the
Securities Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which the Company or any such director or officer or any such person
may become subject under the Securities Act or any other statute or at common
law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) information in writing
provided to the Company by the Holder specifically for use in the following
documents and contained, on the effective date thereof, in any Registration
Statement under which securities were registered under the Securities Act at the
request of the Holder, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, (ii) Holder’s offer or sale of
Registrable Securities after receipt by such Holder of a Standstill Notice under
Section 3(g) and prior to the delivery of the prospectus supplement or amendment
contemplated by Section 3(g), (iii) Holder’s failure to comply with the
prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act or failure to
distribute its Registrable Securities in a manner consistent with its intended
plan of distribution as provided to the Company and disclosed in the
Registration Statement, (iv) Holder’s failure to comply with Regulation M under
the Exchange Act, or (v) Holder’s failure to comply with any rules and
regulations applicable because the Holder is, or is an Affiliate of, a
registered broker-dealer.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this
paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) below, no Holder shall be required to indemnify
any person pursuant to this Section 5 or to contribute pursuant to paragraph (c)
below in an amount in excess of the amount of the aggregate net proceeds
received by such Holder in connection with any such registration under the
Securities Act.

    

    (c)           If
the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 from the indemnifying party
is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then the
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, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and
indemnified parties in connection with the actions which resulted in such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations.  The relative fault of such indemnifying
party and indemnified parties 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 to state a material
fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying
party or indemnified parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
action.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be
deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by
such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Exhibit
10.26

    

    

    The
parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 5(c) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any
other method of allocation which does not take account of 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.

    

    6.           Certain Limitations on
Registration Rights.  Notwithstanding the other provisions of
this Agreement:

    

    (a)           the
Company shall not be obligated to register the Registrable Securities of Holders
if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company reasonably satisfactory to the
Holder and its counsel (or, if the Holder has engaged an investment banking
firm, to such investment banking firm and its counsel), the sale or other
disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities, in the manner proposed by
such Holder (or by such investment banking firm), may be effected without
registering such Registrable Securities under the Securities Act;

    

    (b)           the
Company shall not be obligated to register the Registrable Securities of any
Holder pursuant to Section 2 if the Company has had a registration statement,
under which the Holder had a right to have its Registrable Securities included
pursuant to Section 2, declared effective within one hundred and twenty (120)
days prior to the date of the request pursuant to Section 2; and

    

    (c)           the
Company shall have the right to delay the filing or effectiveness of the
registration statement required pursuant to Section 2 hereof during one or more
periods aggregating not more than forty five (45) days in any twelve-month
period in the event that (i) the Company would, in accordance with the advice of
its counsel, be required to disclose in the prospectus information not otherwise
then required by law to be publicly disclosed and (ii) in the judgment of the
Company’s Board of Directors, there is a reasonable likelihood that such
disclosure would materially and adversely affect any existing or prospective
material business situation, transaction or negotiation or otherwise materially
and adversely affect the Company.

    

    7.           Selection of Managing
Underwriters.  The managing underwriter or underwriters for any
offering of Registrable Securities to be registered pursuant to Section 2 shall
be selected by the Holders of a majority of the shares being so registered and
shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company.

    

    8.           Holder
Agreements.  (a)  No Holder may participate in an
underwritten offering provided for hereunder unless such Holder (i) agrees to
sell the Holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in the
underwriting arrangements contemplated for such offering as reasonably requested
by the managing underwriter, (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires,
powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents
reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements as
reasonably requested by the managing underwriter, and (iii) agrees to bear the
Holder’s pro rata portion of all underwriting discounts and
commissions.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Exhibit
10.26

    

     

    (b)           Each
Holder agrees to comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act in connection
with its offer and sale of Registrable Securities.

    

    (c)           Each
Holder agrees that it will not sell any Registrable Securities registered under
the Securities Act pursuant to the terms of this Agreement until a Registration
Statement (and any associated post-effective amendment) relating thereto has
been declared effective and the Holder has been provided copies of the related
prospectus, as amended or supplemented to date.

    

    (d)           Each
Holder agrees to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act as applicable in connection with the sale of Registrable
Securities registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a Registration
Statement.

    

    (e)           Each
Holder agrees that upon receipt of a Standstill Notice pursuant to Section 3(g),
the Holder shall immediately discontinue offers and sales of Registrable
Securities registered under the Securities Act pursuant to any Registration
Statements covering such Registrable Securities until such Holder receives
copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(g) or
notice from the Company that no such supplement or amendment is
required.

    

    9.           Miscellaneous.

    

    (a)           No Inconsistent
Agreements.  The Company will not hereafter enter into any
agreement with respect to its securities which conflicts with the rights granted
to the Holders in this Agreement.

    

    (b)           Remedies.  Each
Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law,
including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its
rights under this Agreement.  The Company agrees that monetary damages
would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach
by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive the defense
in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be
adequate.  In any action or proceeding brought to enforce any
provision of this Agreement or where any provision hereof is validly asserted as
a defense, the successful party shall be entitled to recover reasonable
attorneys’ fees in addition to any other available remedy.

    

    (c)           Amendments and
Waivers.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions
of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or
consents to departure from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the
Company has obtained the written consent of the Holder.

    

    (d)           Notice
Generally.  Any notice, demand, request, consent, approval,
declaration, delivery or other communication hereunder to be made pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement shall be sufficiently given or made if in
