      Act”)

      Documents”),
      and
      during the 12 calendar months prior to the date hereof all such SEC Documents
      have been filed in a timely manner. The Company is currently eligible to use
      Form S-3 for stockholder registration statements under the Securities Act.
      The
      SEC Documents have complied in all material respects with the requirements
      of
      the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and
      regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC
      Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with
      the
      Commission, 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. As of their respective dates, to the best of the Company’s
      knowledge during those respective dates, the financial statements of the Company
      included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects
      with
      applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations
      of
      the Commission with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been
      prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
      United States as in effect from time to time (“GAAP”),
      consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (a) as may be
      otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (b)
      in
      the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude
      footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in
      all
      material respects the financial condition of the Company as of the respective
      dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the
      respective periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements,
      to
      normal year-end audit adjustments). Except as set forth in the SEC Documents,
      the Company has not received notification from the Commission, the American
      Stock Exchange and/or any federal or state securities bureaus that any
      investigation (informal or formal), inquiry or claim is pending, threatened
      or
      in process against the Company and/or relating to any of the Company’s
      securities.

      qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state,
      local or provincial governmental authority on the part of the Company is
      required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated
      by
      this Agreement. The Company and each of its subsidiaries has obtained all

    3.7
       Litigation.
      Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, (i) there is no action, suit,
      proceeding, or investigation pending or currently threatened against the
      Company, and (ii) in the Company’s reasonable judgment, none of such disclosures
      are likely to question the validity of this Agreement, or the right of the
      Company to enter into such agreements, or to consummate the transactions
      contemplated hereby or thereby, or which might result, either individually
      or in
      the aggregate, in any material adverse change in the assets, condition, affairs,
      or property of the Company, financially or otherwise, or any change in the
      current equity ownership of the Company, including, without limitation, actions
      pending or to the Company’s knowledge threatened involving the prior employment
      of any of the Company’s employees, their use in connection with the Company’s
      business of any information or techniques allegedly proprietary to any of their
      former employers, or their obligations under any agreements with prior
      employers.

    

    3.8
       Compliance
      with Other Instruments. The Company is not in violation or default of any
      provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or of any instrument,
      judgment, order, writ, decree, or contract to which it is a party or by which
      it
      is bound or, to its knowledge, of any provision of federal or state statute,
      rule or regulation, license, or permit applicable to the Company, the violation
      or default of which would have a material adverse effect on the Company. The
      execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and the consummation
      of
      the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not result in any such
      violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage
      of
      time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision,
      instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree, or material contract or an event
      which results in the creation of any lien, charge, or encumbrance upon any
      assets of the Company.

    

    4. Representations
      and Warranties of the Noteholders.
      Each
      Noteholder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

     

    4.1 Review
      and Inspection. The Noteholder is relying on his own analysis regarding the
      Company’s operations, financial condition, assets, liabilities and other
      relevant matters as the Noteholder deemed necessary or desirable in order to
      evaluate the merits and risks of the prospective investment contemplated herein.
      The Noteholder
      acknowledges
      that he has not relied upon any information given to the Noteholder, or any
      statements made, by the Company or any officers or directors of the Company,
      except for the representations and warranties of the Company expressly made
      herein.

     

    4.2 Noteholder
      Due Diligence. The Noteholder and his representatives are solely responsible
      for
      the Noteholder’s own “due diligence” investigation of the Company and its
      management and business and for the Noteholder’s analysis of the financial
      future and viability of the Company and desirability of the terms of this
      investment. The Noteholder acknowledges that neither the Company nor any officer
      or director of the Company is making any representation or warranty regarding
      any financial projections previously given to the Noteholder or the assumptions
      underlying such financial projections, as such financial projections are subject
      to significant business, economic and other uncertainties and contingencies.
      The
      Noteholder acknowledges that if the Company is not able to operate profitably
      or
      generate positive cash flows, the Company may have difficulty meeting its
      obligations and may not be able to continue to operate its business, and the
      Noteholder could lose all of his investment. The Noteholder has such knowledge
      and experience in financial and business matters that he is capable of
      evaluating the merits and risks of the acquisition of the Shares pursuant to
      the
      terms of this Agreement and of protecting his interest in connection
      therewith.

    4.3 Accredited
      Investor Status.
      The
      Noteholder is an “Accredited Investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of
      Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and the Noteholder is able
      to
      bear the economic risk of the acquisition of the Shares pursuant to the terms
      of
      this Agreement, including a complete loss of his investment in the
      Shares.

     

    4.4 Authority
      for Agreement.
      The
      Noteholder has the full right, power and authority to enter into and perform
      his
      obligations under the Agreement, and the Agreement constitutes the valid and
      binding obligations of the Noteholder enforceable in accordance with its terms,
      subject to (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and moratorium
      laws, (ii) other laws of general application affecting the enforcement of
      creditors' rights generally and general principles of equity, (iii) the
      discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought,
      and
      (iv) as rights to indemnity may be limited by federal or state securities laws
      or by public policy..

     

    4.5 Governmental
      Consents.
      To the
      Noteholder’s knowledge, no consent, approval or authorization of or designation,
      declaration or filing with any governmental authority on the part of the
      Noteholder is required in connection with the valid execution, delivery and
      performance of the Agreement.

     

    4.6 Taxes.
      The
      Noteholder has not relied on any statements or representations of the Company
      or
      any of its agents (other than the representations and warranties set forth
      herein) with respect to the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences
      of this investment and the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences
      of
      transactions contemplated by this Agreement. With respect to such matters,
      the
      Noteholder understands that he (and not the Company) shall be responsible for
      his own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the
      transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     

    4.7
       Unregistered
      Securities.
      The
      Noteholder understands that the Securities and the Common Stock issuable upon
      exercise of the Warrants (the “the Warrant Shares”) have not been registered
      under the Securities Act or the laws of any state and may not be sold or
      transferred, or otherwise disposed of, without registration under the Securities
      Act and applicable state securities laws, or pursuant to an exemption therefrom.
      In the absence of an effective registration statement or an exemption therefrom
      covering the Securities and the Warrant Shares, the Noteholder will sell or
      transfer, or otherwise dispose of, the Securities and any the Warrant Shares
      he
      may acquire only in a manner consistent with his representations and agreements
      set forth herein and any applicable federal and state securities laws. Anything
      to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company agrees with and acknowledges to
      each Noteholder that the Shares and Warrants are being issued pursuant to the
      exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act
      and, in accordance with the provisions of that Section and Rule 144 promulgated
      under the Securities Act, neither the certificates representing the Shares
      nor
      the Warrants shall bear the legend referred to in Section
      4.8
      below.

    (a)

      SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
      SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE
      TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
      REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS
      CERTIFICATE, FILED AND MADE EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND
      SUCH
      APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR, UNLESS REASONABLY REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY,
      THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE
      COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH APPLICABLE
      STATE
      SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.

    

    (b)
       Any
      legend required by the securities (“Blue Sky”) laws of any state.

    

    The
      legend referred to in clause (a) above shall be removed by the Company from
      any
      certificate at such time as the holder of the securities represented by the
      certificate delivers an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
      Company to the effect that such legend is not required in order to establish
      compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act, or at such time as the
      holder of such shares satisfies the requirements of Rule 144 or such other
      substantially similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act then in effect
      under the Securities Act; provided, that the Company has received from the
      holder a written representation that (i) such holder is not an affiliate of

      Company and has not been an affiliate during the preceding three months, (ii)
      such holder has beneficially owned and paid for the shares represented by the
      certificate for a period of at least one year (or the period of time then
      required by Rule 144 or such other substantially similar rule promulgated under
      the Securities Act then in effect), and (iii) such holder otherwise satisfies
      the requirements of Rule 144 as then in effect with respect to such
      shares.

       Indemnity.
      The
      Company shall, with respect to the representations, warranties, covenants and
      agreements made by it herein indemnify, defend and hold each Noteholder and
      his
      employees, partners, agents, counsel and affiliates (each, an “Indemnified
      Party”)
      harmless from and against all liability, loss or damage, together with all
      reasonable costs and expenses related thereto (including legal and accounting
      fees and expenses), arising from the untruth, inaccuracy or breach of any such
      representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Company contained
      in
      this Agreement or the assertion of any claims relating to the foregoing. Without
      limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Indemnified Party shall be deemed
      to have suffered liability, loss or damage as a result of the untruth,
      inaccuracy or breach of any such representations, warranties, covenants or
      agreements if such liability, loss or damage shall be suffered by the
      Indemnified Party as a result of, or in connection with, such untruth,
      inaccuracy or breach or any facts or circumstances constituting such untruth,
      inaccuracy or breach. the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each
      Indemnified Party against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint
      or
      several, to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, insofar
      as
      such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
      arise out of or are based upon any violations by the Company of the Securities
      Act or state Blue Sky laws applicable to the Company relating to action or
      inaction required of the Company in connection with the Securities Act or
      registration or qualification under such state Blue Sky laws; and shall
      reimburse each such Indemnified Party for any legal or any other expenses
      reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigating or defending
      any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided,
      however,
      that no
      indemnification shall be required hereunder for the gross negligence or willful
      misconduct of any Indemnified Party or material breach by a Noteholder of any
      of
      the representations and warrants set forth in Section
      4
      hereof.
      In case any such action is brought against an Indemnified Party, the Company
      will be entitled to participate in and assume the defense thereof with counsel
      reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from the
      Company to such Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense thereof,
      the Company shall be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently
      incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof, provided that
      if
      any Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one
      or
      more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party that conflict in any
      material respect with those available to the Company, or that such claims or
      litigation involves or could have an effect upon matters beyond the scope of
      the
      indemnity provided by this Section
      9,
      the
      Company shall reimburse such Indemnified Party and shall not have the right
      to
      assume the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified party and the
      Company shall reimburse each such Indemnified Party and any individual,
      partnership, limited liability company, corporation, joint stock company, trust,
      estate, joint venture, association or unincorporated organization, or any other
      form of business or professional entity (“Person”) controlling such Indemnified
      Party for that portion of the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel
      retained by the Indemnified Party. the Company shall not make any settlement
      of
      any claims indemnified against hereunder without the written consent of the
      Indemnified Party or Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
      Any claim for indemnification under this Section
      9
      with
      respect to representations and warranties must be made not later than the end
      of
      the 12-month survival period set forth in Section
      10.2.

      Documents. CSI has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other
      documents required to be filed by it with the Securities and Exchange Commission
      (the “Commission”)
      pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities
      Act”)
      and
      the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange
      Act”)
      (the
“SEC
      Documents”),
      and
      during the 12 calendar months prior to the date hereof all such SEC Documents
      have been filed in a timely manner. CSI is currently eligible to use Form S-3
      for stockholder registration statements under the Securities Act. The SEC
      Documents have complied in all material respects with the requirements of the
      Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and
      regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC
      Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with
      the
      Commission, 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. As of their respective dates, to the best of CSI’s
      knowledge during those respective dates, the financial statements of CSI
      included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects
      with
      applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations
      of
      the Commission with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been
      prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
      United States as in effect from time to time (“GAAP”),
      consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (a) as may be
      otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (b)
      in
      the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude
      footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in
      all
      material respects the financial condition of CSI as of the respective dates
      thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the respective
      periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal
      year-end audit adjustments). Except as set forth in the SEC Documents or as
      separately disclosed to the Purchaser, CSI has not received notification from
      the Commission, the American Stock Exchange and/or any federal or state
      securities bureaus that any investigation (informal or formal), inquiry or
      claim
      is pending, threatened or in process against CSI and/or relating to any of
      CSI’s
      securities. 

    

    3.6
       Governmental
      Consents. No consent, approval, order, or authorization of, or registration,
      qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state,
      local or provincial governmental authority on the part of CSI is required in
      connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
      Agreement. CSI and each of its subsidiaries has obtained all federal, state,
      local and foreign governmental licenses and permits material to and necessary
      in
      the conduct of its business, such licenses and permits are in full force and
      effect, no material violations are or have been recorded in respect of any
      such
      licenses or permits, and no proceeding is pending or threatened to revoke or
      limit any thereof. There are no consents or waivers necessary for the
      consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
      Agreement.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    3.7
       Litigation.
      Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, (i) there is no action, suit,
      proceeding, or investigation pending or currently threatened against CSI, and
      (ii) in CSI’s reasonable judgment, none of such disclosures are likely to
      question the validity of this Agreement, or the right of CSI to enter into
      such
      agreements, or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby,
      or
      which might result, either individually or in the aggregate, in any material
      adverse change in the assets, condition, affairs, or property of CSI,
      financially or otherwise, or any change in the current equity ownership of
      CSI,
      including, without limitation, actions pending or to CSI’s knowledge threatened
      involving the prior employment of any of CSI’s employees, their use in
      connection with CSI’s business of any information or techniques allegedly
      proprietary to any of their former employers, or their obligations under any
      agreements with prior employers.

    

    3.8
       Compliance
      with Other Instruments. CSI is not in violation or default of any provisions
      of
      its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or of any instrument, judgment,
      order, writ, decree, or contract to which it is a party or by which it is bound
      or, to its knowledge, of any provision of federal or state statute, rule or
      regulation, license, or permit applicable to CSI, the violation or default
      of
      which would have a material adverse effect on CSI. The execution, delivery,
      and
      performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
      contemplated hereby and thereby will not result in any such violation or be
      in
      conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving
      of
      notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, order,
      writ, decree, or material contract or an event which results in the creation
      of
      any lien, charge, or encumbrance upon any assets of CSI.

    

    4. Representations
      and Warranties of the Purchaser.
      The
      Purchaser represents and warrants to CSI as follows:

     

    4.1 Review
      and Inspection. The Purchaser is relying on his own analysis regarding CSI’s
      operations, financial condition, assets, liabilities and other relevant matters
      as the Purchaser deemed necessary or desirable in order to evaluate the merits
      and risks of the prospective investment contemplated herein. The
      Purchaser acknowledges
      that he has not relied upon any information given to the Purchaser, or any
      statements made, by CSI or any officers or directors of CSI, except for the
      representations and warranties of CSI expressly made herein.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    4.2 Purchaser
      Due Diligence. The Purchaser and his representatives are solely responsible
      for
      the Purchaser’s own “due diligence” investigation of CSI and its management and
      business and for the Purchaser’s analysis of the financial future and viability
      of CSI and desirability of the terms of this investment. The Purchaser
      acknowledges that neither CSI nor any officer or director of CSI is making
      any
      representation or warranty regarding any financial projections previously given
      to the Purchaser or the assumptions underlying such financial projections,
      as
      such financial projections are subject to significant business, economic and
      other uncertainties and contingencies. The Purchaser acknowledges that if CSI
      is
      not able to operate profitably or generate positive cash flows, CSI may have
      difficulty meeting its obligations and may not be able to continue to operate
      its business, and the Purchaser could lose all of his investment. The Purchaser
      has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he
      is
      capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of the Shares
      pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and of protecting his interest in
      connection therewith.

     

    4.3 Accredited
      Investor Status.
      The
      Purchaser is an “Accredited Investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of
      Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and the Purchaser is able
      to
      bear the economic risk of the purchase of the Shares pursuant to the terms
      of
      this Agreement, including a complete loss of his investment in the
      Shares.

     

    4.4 Authority
      for Agreement.
      The
      Purchaser has the full right, power and authority to enter into and perform
      his
      obligations under the Agreement, and the Agreement constitutes the valid and
      binding obligations of the Purchaser enforceable in accordance with its terms,
      subject to (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and moratorium
      laws, (ii) other laws of general application affecting the enforcement of
      creditors' rights generally and general principles of equity, (iii) the
      discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought,
      and
      (iv) as rights to indemnity may be limited by federal or state securities laws
      or by public policy..

     

    4.5 Governmental
      Consents.
      To the
      Purchaser’s knowledge, no consent, approval or authorization of or designation,
      declaration or filing with any governmental authority on the part of the
      Purchaser is required in connection with the valid execution, delivery and
      performance of the Agreement.

     

    4.6 Taxes.
      The
      Purchaser has not relied on any statements or representations of CSI or any
      of
      its agents (other than the representations and warranties set forth herein)
      with
      respect to the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this
      investment and the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of
      transactions contemplated by this Agreement. With respect to such matters,
      the
      Purchaser understands that he (and not CSI) shall be responsible for his own
      tax
      liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions
      contemplated by this Agreement.

     

    4.7
       Restricted
      Securities.
      The
      Purchaser understands that the Shares and the Common Stock issuable upon
      exercise of the Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act
      or
      the laws of any state and may not be sold or transferred, or otherwise disposed
      of, without registration under the Securities Act and applicable state
      securities laws, or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. In the absence of an
      effective registration statement or an exemption therefrom covering the Shares
      and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Purchaser
      will
      sell or transfer, or otherwise dispose of, the Shares to be acquired by him
      only
      in a manner consistent with his representations and agreements set forth herein
      and any applicable federal and state securities laws.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    4.8
       Legends.
      It is
      understood that the certificates evidencing the Shares may bear the following
      legend:

    

    (a)
      THE
      SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
      SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE
      TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
      REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS
      CERTIFICATE, FILED AND MADE EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND
      SUCH
      APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR, UNLESS REASONABLY REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY,
      THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE
      COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH APPLICABLE
      STATE
      SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.

    

    (b)
       Any
      legend required by the securities (“Blue Sky”) laws of any state.

    

    The
      legend referred to in clause (a) above shall be removed by CSI from any
      certificate at such time as the holder of the securities represented by the
      certificate delivers an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to CSI to
      the
      effect that such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with
      any provisions of the Securities Act, or at such time as the holder of such
      shares satisfies the requirements of Rule 144 or such other substantially
      similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act then in effect under the
      Securities Act; provided, that CSI has received from the holder a written
      representation that (i) such holder is not an affiliate of CSI and has not
      been
      an affiliate during the preceding three months, (ii) such holder has
      beneficially owned the shares represented by the certificate for a period of
      at
      least six months (or the period of time then required by Rule 144(d)(i) or
      such
      other substantially similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act then
      in
      effect), and (iii) such holder otherwise satisfies the requirements of Rule
      144(k) as then in effect with respect to such shares.

    

    5. Conditions
      to the Obligations of the Purchaser.
      The
      obligation of the Purchaser to purchase the Shares at the Closing is subject

      hereof

    6.2 Performance.
      All covenants, agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and
      required to be performed by the Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date shall

    7.
       Covenants
      of CSI.
      In
      addition to the covenants set forth in CSI's Certificate of Incorporation,
      CSI
      agrees that, so long as the Purchaser and/or an affiliate thereof beneficially
      owns any Shares and/or a Warrant remains outstanding:

    

    7.1
       Maintenance

      and effect its legal existence and rights and franchises with respect thereto;
      and (b) maintain in full force and effect all permits, licenses, trademarks,

      on the business as presently or proposed to be conducted.

    

    7.2 Payment
      of Obligations. CSI shall pay and discharge at or before maturity, all of its
      material obligations and liabilities, including, without limitation, tax
      liabilities, except where the same may be contested in good faith by appropriate
      proceedings or as waived, forgiven or modified by the creditor, and will
      maintain, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as they
      then exist, appropriate reserves for the accrual of any of the
      same.

    

    7.3 Reservation
      of Shares. CSI shall at all times duly reserve for issuance the shares of Common
      Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. 

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    8.
       Indemnity.
      CSI
      shall, with respect to the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements
      made by it herein indemnify, defend and hold the Purchaser and his employees,
      partners, agents, counsel and affiliates (each, an “Indemnified
      Party”)
      harmless from and against all liability, loss or damage, together with all
      reasonable costs and expenses related thereto (including legal and accounting
      fees and expenses), arising from the untruth, inaccuracy or breach of any such
      representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of CSI contained in this
      Agreement or the assertion of any claims relating to the foregoing. Without
      limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Indemnified Party shall be deemed
      to have suffered liability, loss or damage as a result of the untruth,
      inaccuracy or breach of any such representations, warranties, covenants or
      agreements if such liability, loss or damage shall be suffered by the
      Indemnified Party as a result of, or in connection with, such untruth,
      inaccuracy or breach or any facts or circumstances constituting such untruth,
      inaccuracy or breach. CSI shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified
      Party against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several,
      to
      which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, insofar as such losses,
      claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of
      or
      are based upon any violations by CSI of the Securities Act or state Blue Sky
      laws applicable to CSI relating to action or inaction required of CSI in
      connection with the Securities Act or registration or qualification under such
      state Blue Sky laws; and shall reimburse each such Indemnified Party for any
      legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection
      with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
      action; provided,
      however,
      that no
      indemnification shall be required hereunder for the gross negligence or willful
      misconduct of any Indemnified Party or material breach by a Purchaser of any
      of
      the representations and warrants set forth in Section
      4
      hereof.
      In case any such action is brought against an Indemnified Party, CSI will be
      entitled to participate in and assume the defense thereof with counsel
      reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from CSI
      to
      such Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense thereof, CSI shall
      be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the
      latter in connection with the defense thereof, provided that if any Indemnified
      Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal
      defenses available to such Indemnified Party that conflict in any material
      respect with those available to CSI, or that such claims or litigation involves
      or could have an effect upon matters beyond the scope of the indemnity provided
      by this Section
      8,
      CSI
      shall reimburse such Indemnified Party and shall not have the right to assume
      the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified party and CSI shall
      reimburse each such Indemnified Party and any individual, partnership, limited
      liability company, corporation, joint stock company, trust, estate, joint
      venture, association or unincorporated organization, or any other form of
      business or professional entity (“Person”) controlling such Indemnified Party
      for that portion of the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained
      by
      the Indemnified Party. CSI shall not make any settlement of any claims
      indemnified against hereunder without the written consent of the Indemnified
      Party or Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any claim
      for indemnification under this Section
      8
      with
      respect to representations and warranties must be made not later than the end
      of
      the 12-month survival period set forth in Section
      9.2.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    9. Miscellaneous.
