    COMMON
      STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
      (the
“Agreement”), dated as of January 20, 2006, by and between GOLDEN
      PHOENIX MINERALS, INC.,
      a
      Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), and FUSION
      CAPITAL FUND II, LLC,
      an
      Illinois limited liability company (the “Buyer”). Capitalized terms used herein
      and not otherwise defined herein are defined in Section 10 hereof. 

    

    WHEREAS:

    

    Subject
      to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company wishes
      to
      sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer wishes to buy from the Company, up to Six
      Million Dollars ($6,000,000) of the Company's common stock, no par value per
      share (the “Common Stock”). The shares of Common Stock to be purchased hereunder
      are referred to herein as the "Purchase Shares."

    

    NOW
      THEREFORE,
      the
      Company and the Buyer hereby agree as follows:

    

    1.
       PURCHASE
      OF COMMON STOCK. 

    

    Subject
      to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 6, 7 and 9 below, the Company
      hereby agrees to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby agrees to purchase
      from
      the Company, Purchase Shares as follows:

    

    (a) Commencement
      of Purchases of Common Stock.
      The
      purchase and sale of Purchase Shares hereunder shall commence (the
      "Commencement") within five (5) Trading Days following the date of satisfaction
      of the conditions to the Commencement set forth in Sections 6 and 7 below (the
      date of such Commencement, the "Commencement Date"). 

    

    (b) Buyer's
      Purchase Rights and Obligations.
      Subject
      to the Company’s right to suspend purchases under Section 1(d)(ii) hereof, the
      Buyer shall buy Purchase Shares (“Daily Purchases”) on each Trading Day during
      each Monthly Period equal to the Daily Purchase Amount (as defined in Section
      1(c)(i)) at the Purchase Price. From time to time, the Company shall also have
      the right but not the obligation, by its delivery to the Buyer of a Block
      Purchase Notice (as defined in Section 1(c)(iv)), to require the Buyer to buy
      Purchase Shares (a “Block Purchase”) equal to the Block Purchase Amount (as
      defined in Section 1(c)(iv)) at the Block Purchase Price (as defined in Section
      1(c)(iv)). The
      Buyer
      shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the Purchase Amount with respect
      to
      such Purchase Shares as full payment for the purchase of the Purchase Shares
      so
      received. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock
      upon any purchase. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction
      of
      a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of
      Common Stock up or down to the nearest whole share. All payments made under
      this
      Agreement shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by
      check
      or wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Company
      may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the
      provisions of this Agreement. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the
      terms of this Agreement is due on any day that is not a Trading Day, the same
      shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Trading
      Day.

    

    (c) The
      Daily Purchase Amount; Company's Right to Decrease or Increase the Daily
      Purchase Amount; the Block Purchase Amount.

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

    

    (i) The
      Daily Purchase Amount.
      As used
      herein the term “Original Daily Purchase Amount” shall mean Twelve Thousand Five
      Hundred Dollars ($12,500) per Trading Day. As used herein, the term “Daily
      Purchase Amount” shall mean initially Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
      ($12,500) per Trading Day, which amount may be increased or decreased from
      time
      to time pursuant to this Section 1(c).

    

    (ii) Company’s
      Right to Decrease the Daily Purchase Amount.
      The
      Company shall always have the right at any time to decrease the amount of the
      Daily Purchase Amount by delivering written notice (a “Daily Purchase Amount
      Decrease Notice”) to the Buyer which notice shall specify the new Daily Purchase
      Amount. The decrease in the Daily Purchase Amount shall become effective one
      Trading Day after receipt by the Buyer of the Daily Purchase Amount Decrease
      Notice. Any purchases by the Buyer which have a Purchase Date on or prior to
      the
      first (1st) Trading Day after receipt by the Buyer of a Daily Purchase Amount
      Decrease Notice must be honored by the Company as otherwise provided herein.
      The
      decrease in the Daily Purchase Amount shall remain in effect until the Company
      delivers to the Buyer a Daily Purchase Amount Increase Notice (as defined
      below).

    

    (iii) Company’s
      Right to Increase the Daily Purchase Amount.
      The
      Company shall have the right (but not the obligation) to increase the amount
      of
      the Daily Purchase Amount in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth
      in this Section 1(c)(iii) by delivering written notice to the Buyer stating
      the
      new amount of the Daily Purchase Amount (a “Daily Purchase Amount Increase
      Notice”). A Daily Purchase Amount Increase Notice shall be effective five (5)
      Trading Days after receipt by the Buyer. The Company shall always have the
      right
      at any time to increase the amount of the Daily Purchase Amount up to the
      Original Daily Purchase Amount. With respect to increases in the Daily Purchase
      Amount above the Original Daily Purchase Amount, as the market price for the
      Common Stock increases the Company shall have the right from time to time to
      increase the Daily Purchase Amount as follows. For every $0.10 increase in
      Threshold Price above $0.20 (subject to equitable adjustment for any
      reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other
      similar transaction), the Company shall have the right to increase the Daily
      Purchase Amount by up to an additional $2,500 in excess of the Original Daily
      Purchase Amount. “Threshold Price” for purposes hereof means the lowest Sale
      Price of the Common Stock during the five (5) consecutive Trading Days
      immediately prior to the submission to the Buyer of a Daily Purchase Amount
      Increase Notice (subject to equitable adjustment for any reorganization,
      recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction).
      For example, if the Threshold Price is $0.30, the Company shall have the right
      to increase the Daily Purchase Amount to up to $15,000 in the aggregate. If
      the
      Threshold Price is $0.50, the Company shall have the right to increase the
      Daily
      Purchase Amount to up to $20,000 in the aggregate. Any increase in the amount
      of
      the Daily Purchase Amount shall continue in effect until the delivery to the
      Buyer of a Daily Purchase Amount Decrease Notice. However, if at any time during
      any Trading Day the Sale Price of the Common Stock is below the applicable
      Threshold Price, such increase in the Daily Purchase Amount shall be void and
      the Buyer’s obligations to buy Purchase Shares hereunder in excess of the
      applicable maximum Daily Purchase Amount shall be terminated. Thereafter, the
      Company shall again have the right to increase the amount of the Daily Purchase
      Amount as set forth herein by delivery of a new Daily Purchase Amount Increase
      Notice only if the Sale Price of the Common Stock is above the applicable
      Threshold Price on each of five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior
      to such new Daily Purchase Amount Increase Notice.

    (iv) The
      Block Purchase Amount.
      As used
      herein the term “Block Purchase Amount” shall mean such Purchase Amount as
      specified by the Company in a Block Purchase Notice. As used herein the term
      “Block Purchase Notice” shall mean an irrevocable written notice from the
      Company to the Buyer directing the Buyer to buy the Purchase Amount in Purchase
      Shares as specified by the Company therein at the Block Purchase Price. For
      a
      Block Purchase Notice to be valid the following conditions must be met: (1)
      the
      Block Purchase Amount shall not exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000)
      per Block Purchase Notice, (2) the Company must deliver the Purchase Shares
      on
      the same day as the Block Purchase Notice is delivered and (3) the Sale Price
      of
      the Common Stock must have been above $0.20 (subject to equitable adjustment
      for
      any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other
      similar transaction) during the ten (10) Trading Days prior to the delivery
      of
      the Block Purchase Notice. The Block Purchase Amount may be increased to up
      to
      $250,000 if the Sale Price of the Common Stock is above $0.35 (subject to
      equitable adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash
      dividend, stock split or other similar transaction) during the ten (10) Trading
      Days prior to the delivery of the Block Purchase Notice. The Block Purchase
      Amount may be increased to up to $500,000 if the Sale Price of the Common Stock
      is above $0.60 (subject to equitable adjustment for any reorganization,
      recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction)
      during the ten (10) Trading Days prior to the delivery of the Block Purchase
      Notice. The Company may deliver multiple Block Purchase Notices as it shall
      determine; provided however, at least ten (10) Trading Days must have passed
      since the most recent Block Purchase was completed. As used herein, the term
      “Block Purchase Price” shall mean the lowest Purchase Price during the previous
      fifteen (15) Trading Days prior to the date that the Block Purchase Notice
      was
      received by the Buyer. 

    

    (d) Limitations
      on Purchases.

    

    (i) Limitation
      on Beneficial Ownership.
      The
      Buyer shall not have the right or the obligation to purchase shares of Common
      Stock under this Agreement to the extent that after giving effect to such
      purchase the Buyer together with its affiliates would beneficially own in excess
      of 9.9% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such purchase.
      For purposes hereof, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
      by
      the Buyer and its affiliates or acquired by the Buyer and its affiliates, as
      the
      case may be, shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in
      connection with a purchase under this Agreement with respect to which the
      determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common
      Stock which would be issuable upon (1) a purchase of the remaining Available
      Amount which has not been submitted for purchase, and (2) exercise or conversion
      of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
      (including, without limitation, any notes or warrants) subject to a limitation
      on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein
      beneficially owned by the Buyer and its affiliates. For purposes of this
      Section, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the
      Buyer may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected
      in (1) the Company's most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be,
      (2)
      a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other written
      communication by the Company or its Transfer Agent setting forth the number
      of
      shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the reasonable written or oral request
      of the Buyer, the Company shall promptly confirm orally and in writing to the
      Buyer the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the
      number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving
      effect to any purchases under this Agreement by the Buyer since the date as
      of
      which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. Except
      as
      otherwise set forth herein, for purposes of this Section 1(d)(i), beneficial
      ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities
      Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

    (ii) Company's
      Right to Suspend Purchases.
      The
      Company may, at any time, give written notice (a " Daily Purchase Suspension
      Notice") to the Buyer suspending Daily Purchases of Purchase Shares by the
      Buyer
      under this Agreement. The Daily Purchase Suspension Notice shall be effective
      only for Daily Purchases that have a Purchase Date later than one (1) Trading
      Day after receipt of the Daily Purchase Suspension Notice by the Buyer. Any
      Daily Purchase by the Buyer that has a Purchase Date on or prior to the first
      (1st) Trading Day after receipt by the Buyer of a Daily Purchase Suspension
      Notice from the Company must be honored by the Company as otherwise provided
      herein. Such Daily Purchase suspension shall continue in effect until a
      revocation in writing by the Company, at its sole discretion. 

    

    (iii) Purchase
      Price Floor.
      The
      Company shall not affect any sales under this Agreement and the Buyer shall
      not
      have the right nor the obligation to purchase any Purchase Shares under this
      Agreement on any Trading Day where the Purchase Price for any purchases of
      Purchase Shares would be less than the Floor Price. “Floor Price” means $0.10,
      which shall
      be
      appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash
      dividend, stock split or other similar transaction.

    

    (e) Records
      of Purchases.
      The
      Buyer and the Company shall each maintain records showing the remaining
      Available Amount at any give time and the dates and Purchase Amounts for each
      purchase or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer
      and the Company.

    

    (f) Taxes.
      The
      Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp or similar taxes that may be
      payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of any shares of Common Stock
      to the Buyer made under this Agreement.

    The
      Buyer
      represents and warrants to the Company that as of the date hereof and as of
      the
      Commencement Date: 

    

    (a) Investment
      Purpose.
      The
      Buyer is entering into this Agreement and acquiring the Commitment Shares,
      (as
      defined in Section 4(f) hereof) (this Agreement and the Commitment Shares
 are
      collectively referred to herein as the "Securities"), for its own account for
      investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with,
      the public sale or distribution thereof; provided however, by making the
      representations herein, the Buyer does not agree to hold any of the Securities
      for any minimum or other specific term.

     

    (b) Accredited
      Investor Status.
      The
      Buyer is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3)

    (c) Reliance
      on Exemptions.
      The
      Buyer understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in
      reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United
      States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in
      part
      upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Buyer's compliance with, the
      representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings

      of
      the Securities that have been reasonably requested by the Buyer, including,
      without limitation, the SEC Documents (as defined in Section 3(f) hereof).
      The
      Buyer understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree
      of risk. The Buyer (i) is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in

      opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the officers of the
      Company concerning the financial condition and business of the Company and
      others matters related to an investment in the Securities. Neither such

      or
      its representatives shall modify, amend or affect the Buyer's right to rely
      on
      the Company's representations and warranties contained in Section 3 below.
      The
      Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered
      necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its
      acquisition of the Securities.

    

    (e) No
      Governmental Review.
      The
      Buyer understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other
      government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation
      or
      endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment
      in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits
      of the offering of the Securities.

    

    (f) Transfer
      or Resale.
      The
      Buyer understands that except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement
      (as defined in Section 4(a) hereof): (i) the Securities have not been and are
      not being registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws, and may
      not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently
      registered thereunder or (B) an exemption exists permitting such Securities
      to
      be sold, assigned or transferred without such registration; (ii) any sale of
      the
      Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with
      the
      terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of
      the
      Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom
      the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined
      in
      the 1933 Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933
      Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the
      Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Securities
      under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms
      and
      conditions of any exemption thereunder.

    

    (g) Validity;
      Enforcement.
      This
      Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf
      of the Buyer and is a valid and binding agreement of the Buyer enforceable
      against the Buyer in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforceability
      to

      of this Agreement has any of the Buyer, its agents, representatives or
      affiliates engaged in or effected, in any manner whatsoever, directly or
      indirectly, any (i) "short sale" (as such term is defined in Rule 3b-3 of the
      Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act")) of the Common
      Stock or (ii) hedging transaction, which establishes a net short position with

    3. REPRESENTATIONS
      AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

    

    The
      Company represents and warrants to the Buyer that as of the date hereof and
      as
      of the Commencement Date:

    

    (a) Organization
      and Qualification.
      The
      Company and its "Subsidiaries" (which for purposes of this Agreement means
      any
      entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, owns 50% or more of the
      voting stock or capital stock or other similar equity interests) are
      corporations duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the
      laws
      of the jurisdiction in which they are incorporated, and have the requisite
      corporate power and authority to own their properties and to carry on their
      business as now being conducted. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is
      duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing
      in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the
      business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the
      extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing could not
      reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As used in this
      Agreement, "Material Adverse Effect" means any material adverse effect on any
      of: (i) the business, properties, assets, operations, results of operations
      or
      financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries, if any, taken as a
      whole, or (ii) the authority or ability of the Company to perform its
      obligations under the Transaction Documents (as defined in Section 3(b) hereof).
      The Company has no Subsidiaries except as set forth on Schedule
      3(a).

    

    (b) Authorization;
      Enforcement; Validity.
      (i) The
      Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and
      perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement
      and each of the other agreements entered into by the parties on the Commencement
      Date and attached hereto as exhibits to this Agreement (collectively, the
      "Transaction Documents"), and to issue the Securities in accordance with the
      terms hereof and thereof, (ii) the execution and delivery of the Transaction
      Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions
      contemplated hereby and thereby, including without limitation, the issuance
      of
      the Commitment Shares and the reservation for issuance and the issuance of
      the
      Purchase Shares issuable under this Agreement, have been duly authorized by
      the
      Company's Board of Directors and no further consent or authorization is required
      by the Company, its Board of Directors or its shareholders, (iii) this Agreement
      has been, and each other Transaction Document shall be on the Commencement
      Date,
      duly executed and delivered by the Company and (iv) this Agreement constitutes,

      the
      transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation,

      result in a violation of the Certificate of Incorporation, any Certificate
      of

      of
      the Company and its Subsidiaries is not being conducted, and shall not be
      conducted, in violation of any law, ordinance, regulation of any governmental
      entity, except for possible violations, the sanctions for which either
      individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a
      Material Adverse Effect. Except as specifically contemplated by this Agreement
      and as required under the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws, the
      Company is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or

      filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required
      to
      be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the 1934
      Act (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits
      included therein and financial statements and schedules thereto and documents
      incorporated by reference therein being hereinafter referred to as the "SEC
      Documents"). As of their respective dates (except as they have been correctly
      amended), the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the
      requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC
      promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC
      Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC (except as they may have
      been properly amended), 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 (except as they
      have been properly amended), 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 SEC
      with

      periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial
      statements or the notes thereto or (ii) 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
      position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of its
      operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case
      of
      unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). Except as listed
      in
      Schedule 3(f), the Company has received no notices or correspondence from the
      SEC since January 1, 2004. The SEC has not commenced any enforcement proceedings

      taken any steps, and does not currently expect to take any steps, to seek
      protection pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law nor does the Company or any of its
      Subsidiaries have any knowledge or reason to believe that its creditors intend
      to initiate involuntary bankruptcy or
      insolvency proceedings. The Company is financially solvent and is generally
      able
      to pay its debts as they become due.

      Subsidiaries or any of the Company's or the Company's Subsidiaries' officers
      or
      directors in their capacities as such, which could reasonably be expected to
      have a Material Adverse Effect. A description of each action, suit, proceeding,
      inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government
      agency, self-regulatory organization or body which, as of the date of this
      Agreement, is pending or threatened in writing against or affecting the Company,
      the Common Stock or any of the Company's Subsidiaries or any of the Company's
      or

      of arm's length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the
      transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The Company further acknowledges
      that the Buyer is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company
      (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and
      the
      transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and any advice given by the Buyer
      or any of its representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction
      Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely
      incidental to the Buyer's purchase of the Securities. The Company further
      represents to the Buyer that the Company's decision to enter into the
      Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation by
      the
      Company and its representatives and advisors.

    

    (j) No
      General Solicitation.
      Neither
      the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their
      behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising
      (within the meaning of Regulation D under the 1933 Act) in connection with
      the
      offer or sale of the Securities.

    

    (k) Intellectual
      Property Rights.

      service names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses,
      approvals, governmental authorizations, trade secrets and rights necessary
      to
      conduct their respective businesses as now conducted. Except as set forth on

      marks, service mark registrations, service names, patents, patent rights,
      copyrights, inventions, licenses, approvals, government authorizations, trade
      secrets or other intellectual property rights have expired or terminated, or,
      by
      the terms and conditions thereof, could expire or terminate within two years
      from the date of this Agreement. The Company and its Subsidiaries do not have
      any knowledge of any infringement by the Company or its Subsidiaries of any
      material trademark, trade name rights, patents, patent rights, copyrights,
      inventions, licenses, service names, service marks, service mark registrations,
      trade secret or other similar rights of others, or of any such development
      of
      similar or identical trade secrets or technical information by others and,
      except as set forth on Schedule 3(k), there is no claim, action or proceeding
      being made or brought against, or to the Company's knowledge, being threatened
      against, the Company or its Subsidiaries regarding trademark, trade name,
      patents, patent rights, invention, copyright, license, service names, service
      marks, service mark registrations, trade secret or other infringement, which

      Company and its Subsidiaries (i) are in compliance with any and all applicable
      foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the
      protection of human health and safety, the environment or hazardous or toxic
      substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants (“Environmental Laws”), (ii)
      have received all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under
      applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses and (iii)
      are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license
      or
      approval, except where, in each of the three foregoing clauses, the failure
      to
      so comply could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the
      aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

    

    (m) Title.
      The
      Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to
      all
      real property and good and marketable title to all personal property owned
      by
      them which is material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries,
      in
      each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such
      as
      are described in Schedule 3(m) or such as do not materially affect the value
      of
      such property and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made
      of
      such property by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries. Any real property
      and
      facilities held under lease by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries are
      held
      by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions
      as
      are not material and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be
      made
      of such property and buildings by the Company and its Subsidiaries.

    

    (n) Insurance.
      The
      Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized
      financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts
      as
      management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses
      in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company
      nor
      any such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied
      for and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe
      that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when
      such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as
      may
      be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not materially and
      adversely affect the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings,
      business or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a
      whole.

    

    (o) Regulatory
      Permits.
      The
      Company and its Subsidiaries possess all material certificates, authorizations
      and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state or foreign regulatory
      authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses, and neither the
      Company nor any such Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating
      to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization or
      permit.

    

    (p) Tax
      Status.
      The
      Company and each of its Subsidiaries has made or filed all federal and state
      income and all other material tax returns, reports and declarations required
      by
      any jurisdiction to which it is subject (unless and only to the extent that
      the
      Company and each of its Subsidiaries has set aside on its books provisions
      reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and unreported taxes) and
      has
      paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material
      in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and
      declarations, except those being contested in good faith and has set aside
      on
      its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods
      subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply.
      There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing
      authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of no basis
      for any such claim.

      options disclosed on Schedule 3(c), none of the officers, directors, or
      employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the
      Company or any of its Subsidiaries (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
      corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any officer, director,
      or any such employee has an interest or is an officer, director, trustee or
      partner.

    

    (r) Application
      of Takeover Protections.
      The
      Company and its board of directors have taken or will take prior to the
      Commencement Date all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable
      any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including
      any
      distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision
      under the Certificate of Incorporation or the laws of the state of its
      incorporation which is or could become applicable to the Buyer as a result
      of
      the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation,
      the Company's issuance of the Securities and the Buyer's ownership of the
      Securities.

    

    (s) Foreign
      Corrupt Practices.
      Neither
      the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent,
      employee or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any of its
      Subsidiaries has, in the course of its actions for, or on behalf of, the
      Company, used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift,
      entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity; made
      any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government
      official or employee from corporate funds; violated or is in violation of any
      provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended; or
      made
      any unlawful bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other
      unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or

      laws of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to any choice of law or
      conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Illinois or any
      other
      jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions
      other than the State of Illinois. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to
      the
      exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City

      waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
      that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that
      such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that
      the
      venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby
      irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being
      served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to
      such
      party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees

      to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH
      PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO
      REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN

      shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when
      counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party;
      provided that a facsimile signature shall be considered due execution and shall
      be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if
      the
      signature were an original, not a facsimile signature.

    

    (c) Headings.
      The
      headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form
      part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

    

    (d) Severability.
      If any

      jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity
      or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or
      the
      validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other
      jurisdiction.

      their respective successors and assigns. The Company shall not assign this

    (j) Further
      Assurances.
      Each
      party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further

      Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
      hereby.

    

    (k) Termination.
      This
      Agreement may be terminated only as follows: 

    

    (i) By
      the
      Buyer any time an Event of Default exists without any liability or payment
      to
      the Company. However, if pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy
      Law, the Company commences a voluntary case or any Person commences a proceeding
      against the Company, a Custodian is appointed for the Company or for all or
      substantially all of its property, or the Company makes a general assignment
      for
      the benefit of its creditors, (any of which would be an Event of Default as
      described in Sections 9(f), 9(g) and 9(h) hereof) this Agreement shall
      automatically terminate without any liability or payment to the Company without
      further action or notice by any Person. No such termination of this Agreement
      under this Section 11(k)(i) shall affect the Company's or the Buyer's
      obligations under this Agreement with respect to pending purchases and the
      Company and the Buyer shall complete their respective obligations with respect
      to any pending purchases under this Agreement. 

    

    (ii) In
      the
      event that the Commencement shall not have occurred, the Company shall have
      the
      option to terminate this Agreement for any reason or for no reason without
      liability of any party to any other party.

    

    (iii) In
      the
      event that the Commencement shall not have occurred on or before February 14,
      2006, due to the failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 6
      and 7
      above with respect to the Commencement, the nonbreaching party shall have the
      option to terminate this Agreement at the close of business on such date or
      thereafter without liability of any party to any other party. 

    

    (iv) If
      by the
      Maturity Date (including any extension thereof by the Company pursuant to
      Section 10(g) hereof), for any reason or for no reason the full Available Amount
      under this Agreement has not been purchased as provided for in Section 1 of
      this
      Agreement, by the Buyer without any liability or payment to the Company.

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -21-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

    (v) 
      At any
      time after the Commencement Date, the Company shall have the option to terminate
      this Agreement for any reason or for no reason by delivering notice (a “Company
      Termination Notice”) to the Buyer electing to terminate this Agreement without
      any liability or payment to the Buyer. The Company Termination Notice shall
      not
      be effective until one (1) Trading Day after it has been received by the Buyer.
      

    

    (vi) This
      Agreement shall automatically terminate on the date that the Company sells
      and
      the Buyer purchases the full Available Amount as provided herein, without any
      action or notice on the part of any party. 

    

    Except
      as
      set forth in Sections 11(k)(i) (in respect of an Event of Default under Sections
      9(f), 9(g) and 9(h)) and 11(k)(vi), any termination of this Agreement pursuant
      to this Section 11(k) shall be effected by written notice from the Company
      to
      the Buyer, or the Buyer to the Company, as the case may be, setting forth the
      basis for the termination hereof. The representations and warranties of the
      Company and the Buyer contained in Sections 2 and 3 hereof, the indemnification
      provisions set forth in Section 8 hereof and the agreements and covenants set
      forth in Section 11,
      shall
      survive the Commencement and any termination of this Agreement. No termination
      of this Agreement shall affect the Company's or the Buyer's rights or
      obligations (i) under the Registration Rights Agreement which shall survive
      any
      such termination or (ii) under this Agreement with respect to pending purchases
      and the Company and the Buyer shall complete their respective obligations with
      respect to any pending purchases under this Agreement.

    

    (l) No
      Financial Advisor, Placement Agent, Broker or Finder.
      The
      Company represents and warrants to the Buyer that it has not engaged any
      financial advisor, placement agent, broker or finder in connection with the
      transactions contemplated hereby. The Buyer represents and warrants to the
      Company that it has not engaged any financial advisor, placement agent, broker
      or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company
      shall be responsible for the payment of any fees or commissions, if any, of
      any
      financial advisor, placement agent, broker or finder relating to or arising
      out
      of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall pay, and hold the
      Buyer harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without
      limitation, attorneys' fees and out of pocket expenses) arising in connection
      with any such claim.

    

    (m) No
      Strict Construction.
      The
      language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by
      the
      parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction
      will
      be applied against any party.

    

    (n) Remedies,
      Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief.
      The
      Buyer’s remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition
      to all other remedies available to the Buyer under this Agreement, at law or
      in
      equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive
      relief), no remedy of the Buyer contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of
      compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein
      shall limit the Buyer's right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the
      Company to comply with the terms of this Agreement. The Company acknowledges
      that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm
      to
      the Buyer and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate.
      The
      Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened
      breach, the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available
      remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of
      showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being
      required.

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -22-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

    

     

    

    (o) Enforcement
      Costs.
      If: (i)
      this Agreement is placed by the Buyer in the hands of an attorney for
      enforcement or is enforced by the Buyer through any legal proceeding; or (ii)
      an
      attorney is retained to represent the Buyer in any bankruptcy, reorganization,
      receivership or other proceedings affecting creditors' rights and involving
      a
      claim under this Agreement; or (iii) an attorney is retained to represent the
      Buyer in any other proceedings whatsoever in connection with this Agreement,
      then the Company shall pay to the Buyer, as incurred by the Buyer, all
      reasonable costs and expenses including attorneys' fees incurred in connection
      therewith, in addition to all other amounts due hereunder.

    

    (p) Failure
      or Indulgence Not Waiver.

      A

    

    FORM
      OF COMPANY COUNSEL OPINION

    

    Capitalized
      terms used herein but not defined herein, have the meaning set forth in the
      Common Stock Purchase Agreement. Based on the foregoing, and subject to the
      assumptions and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion
      that:

    

    1. The
      Company is a corporation existing and in good standing under the laws of the
      State of Minnesota. The Company is qualified to do business as a foreign
      corporation and is in good standing in the States of Minnesota,
      Nevada.

     

    2. The
      Company has the corporate power to execute and deliver, and perform its
      obligations under, each Transaction Document to which it is a party. The Company
      has the corporate power to conduct its business as, to the best of our
      knowledge, it is now conducted, and to own and use the properties owned and
      used
      by it.

     

    3. The
      execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents
      to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
      action on the part of the Company. The execution and delivery of the Transaction
      Documents by the Company, the performance of the obligations of the Company
      thereunder and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated therein
      have been duly authorized and approved by the Company's Board of Directors
      and
      no further consent, approval or authorization of the Company, its Board of
      Directors or its stockholders is required. The Transaction Documents to which
      the Company is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the Company
      and
      are the valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the
      Company in accordance with their terms except as such enforceability may be
      limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
      liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting creditor’s rights and
      remedies.

     

    4. The
      execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents,
      the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby
      including the offering, sale and issuance of the Commitment Shares, and the
      Purchase Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Common Stock
      Purchase Agreement, and fulfillment and compliance with terms of the Transaction
      Documents, does not and shall not: (i) conflict with, constitute a breach
      of or default (or an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time
      or
      both, constitutes or could constitute a breach or a default), under (a) the
      Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company, (b) any material
      agreement, note, lease, mortgage, deed or other material instrument to which
      to
      our knowledge the Company is a party or by which the Company or any of its
      assets are bound, (ii) result in any violation of any statute, law, rule or
      regulation applicable to the Company, or (iii) to our knowledge, violate any
      order, writ, injunction or decree applicable to the Company or any of its
      subsidiaries.

     

    5. The
      issuance of the Purchase Shares and Commitment Shares pursuant to the terms
      and
      conditions of the Transaction Documents has been duly authorized and the
      Commitment Shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, to our
      knowledge, free of all taxes, liens, charges, restrictions, rights of first
      refusal and preemptive rights. 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock have been
      properly reserved for issuance under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. When
      issued and paid for in accordance with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement,
      the
      Purchase Shares shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, to
      our
      knowledge, free of all taxes, liens, charges, restrictions, rights of first
      refusal and preemptive rights. To
      our
      knowledge, the execution and delivery of the Registration Rights Agreement
      do
      not, and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder shall
      not,
      give rise to any rights of any other person for the registration under the
      1933
      Act of any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company which
      have
      not been waived.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

     

    6. As
      of the
      date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of _______
      shares of common stock, par value $______ per share, of which to our knowledge
      __________ shares are issued and outstanding. Except as set forth on Schedule
      3(c) of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, to our knowledge, there are no
      outstanding shares of capital stock or other securities convertible into or
      exchangeable or exercisable for shares of the capital stock of the
      Company.

     

    7. Assuming
      the accuracy of the representations and your compliance with the covenants
      made
      by you in the Transaction Documents, the offering, sale and issuance of the
      Commitment Shares to you pursuant to the Transaction Documents is exempt from
      registration under the 1933 Act and the securities laws and regulations of
      the
      State of Illinois, Nevada, Minnesota.

     

    8. Other
      than that which has been obtained and completed prior to the date hereof, no
      authorization, approval, consent, filing or other order of any federal or state
      governmental body, regulatory agency, or stock exchange or market, or any court,
      or, to our knowledge, any third party is required to be obtained by the Company
      to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents or
      for
      the Company to issue and sell the Purchase Shares as contemplated by the
      Transaction Documents.

     

    9.
      The
      Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the 1934 Act. To our
      knowledge, since January 1, 2004, the Company has been in compliance with the
      reporting requirements of the 1934 Act applicable to it. To our knowledge,
      since
      January 1, 2004, the Company has not received any written notice from the
      Principal Market stating that the Company has not been in compliance with any
      of
      the rules and regulations (including the requirements for continued listing)
      of
      the Principal Market.

     

    We
      further advise you that to our knowledge, except as disclosed on Schedule 3(h)
      in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, there is no action, suit, proceeding,
      inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board or body, any
      governmental agency, any stock exchange or market, or self-regulatory
      organization, which has been threatened in writing or which is currently pending
      against the Company, any of its subsidiaries, any officers or directors of
      the
      Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of the properties of the Company
      or
      any of its subsidiaries. 

    

    

    In
      addition, we have participated in the preparation of the Registration Statement
      (SEC File #________) covering the sale of the Purchase Shares, the Commitment
      Shares including the prospectus dated ____________, contained therein and in
      conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company (including
      the Company’s independent auditors) during which the contents of the
      Registration Statement and related matters were discussed and reviewed and,
      although we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the
      accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the
      Registration Statement, on the basis of the information that was developed
      in
      the course of the performance of the services referred to above, considered
      in
      the light of our understanding of the applicable law, nothing came to our
      attention that caused us to believe that the Registration Statement (other
      than
      the financial statements and schedules and the other financial and statistical
      data included therein, as to which we express no belief), as of their dates,
      contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any
      material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light
      of
      the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

      amendment declared effective by the SEC at the earliest possible date. The
      Company shall use reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement
      effective pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the 1933 Act and available
      for
      sales of all of the Registrable Securities at all times until the earlier of
      (i)
      the date as of which the Investor may sell all of the Registrable Securities
      without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the 1933 Act
      (or
      successor thereto) or (ii) the date on which (A) the Investor shall have sold
      all the Registrable Securities and no Available Amount remains under the
      Purchase Agreement (the "Registration

      prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a
      material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein,
      or

      which
      they were made, not misleading.

    

    b. Rule

      The
      Company shall, as required by applicable securities regulations, from time
      to
      time file with the SEC, pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act,
      the
      prospectus and prospectus supplements, if any, to be used in connection with
      sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement. The
      Investor and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and
      comment upon such prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC. The Investor

      prospectus. 

    

    c. Sufficient
      Number of Shares Registered.
      In the
      event the number of shares available under the Registration Statement is
      insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall
      amend
      the Registration Statement or file a new registration statement (a ”New
      Registration Statement”),
      so as
      to cover all of such Registrable Securities as soon as practicable, but in
      any
      event not later than ten (10) Trading Days after the necessity therefor arises.
      The Company shall use it reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment and/or
      New Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following
      the filing thereof. 

    

    3. RELATED
      OBLIGATIONS.

    

    With
      respect to the Registration Statement and whenever any Registrable Securities
      are to be registered pursuant to Section 2(b) including on any New Registration
      Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the

      method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have

      Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including
      post-effective amendments) and supplements to any registration statement and
      the
      prospectus used in connection with such registration statement, which prospectus
      is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may
      be
      necessary to keep the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement
      effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period,
      comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition
      of

      all exhibits, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any registration statement, a
      copy
      of the prospectus included in such registration statement and all amendments
      and
      supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as the Investor may
      reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any
      preliminary or final prospectus, as the Investor may reasonably request from
      time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
      Securities owned by the Investor.

    

    d. The
      Company shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify the
      Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement under such other
      securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as
      the
      Investor reasonably requests, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions,
      such
      amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such
      registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the
      effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other
      actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications
      in
      effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other
      actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities
      for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not
      be
      required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to
      do
      business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify
      but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such
      jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such
      jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify the Investor who holds
      Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with
      respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the
      Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or "blue sky" laws of
      any
      jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the
      initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

    
      
        
        

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

    

    e. As
      promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or facts, the Company
      shall notify the Investor in writing of the happening of any event or existence
      of such facts as a result of which the prospectus included in any registration
      statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact
      or
      omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
      make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
      were
      made, not misleading, and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such
      registration statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver
      a copy of such supplement or amendment to the Investor (or such other number
      of
      copies as the Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly
      notify the Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus
      supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a registration
      statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification
      of
      such effectiveness shall be delivered to the Investor by facsimile on the same
      day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the
      SEC
      for amendments or supplements to any registration statement or related
      prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company's reasonable
      determination that a post-effective amendment to a registration statement would
      be appropriate.

    

    f. The
      Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any
      stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of any registration statement,
      or the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale
      in
      any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the
      withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and
      to
      notify the Investor of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof
      or
      its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding
      for
      such purpose.

    

    g. The
      Company shall (i) cause all the Registrable Securities to be listed on each
      securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued
      by
      the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable
      Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) secure
      designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities on the Principal
      Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with
      satisfying its obligation under this Section.

    

    h. The
      Company shall cooperate with the Investor to facilitate the timely preparation
      and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing
      the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to any registration statement
      and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts as the
      Investor may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investor
      may
      request.

    

    i. The
      Company shall at all times provide a transfer agent and registrar with respect
      to its Common Stock.

    

    j. If
      reasonably requested by the Investor, the Company shall (i) immediately
      incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such
      information as the Investor believes should be included therein relating to
      the
      sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation,
      information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold,
      the
      purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the
      Registrable Securities; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus
      supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as notified of the matters to
      be
      incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and
      (iii) supplement or make amendments to any registration
      statement.

    
      
        
        

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

    

    k. The
      Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable
      Securities covered by the any registration statement to be registered with
      or
      approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary
      to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

     

    l. Within
      one (1) Trading Day after any registration statement which includes the
      Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company shall
      deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the
      transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investor)
      confirmation that such registration statement has been declared effective by
      the
      SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
      A.
      Thereafter, if requested by the Buyer at any time, the Company shall require
      its
      counsel to deliver to the Buyer a written confirmation whether or not the
      effectiveness of such registration statement has lapsed at any time for any
      reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) and whether
      or not the registration statement is current and available to the Buyer for
      sale
      of all of the Registrable Securities.

    

    m. The
      Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and
      facilitate disposition by the Investor of Registrable Securities pursuant to
      any
      registration statement.

    

    4. OBLIGATIONS
      OF THE INVESTOR.

    

    a. The
      Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the information the Company
      reasonably requires from the Investor in connection with any registration
      statement hereunder. The Investor shall furnish to the Company such information
      regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method
      of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably
      required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall
      execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company
      may
      reasonably request.

    

    b. The
      Investor agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the
      Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any registration
      statement hereunder.

    

    c. The
      Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the
      happening of any event or existence of facts of the kind described in Section
      3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e), the Investor will immediately discontinue
      disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any registration statement(s)
      covering such Registrable Securities until the Investor's receipt of the copies
      of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(f) or the
      first sentence of 3(e). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company
      shall cause its transfer agent to promptly deliver shares of Common Stock
      without any restrictive legend in accordance with the terms of the Purchase
      Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect
      to
      which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor's
      receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind
      described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e) and for which the
      Investor has not yet settled.

    

    5. EXPENSES
      OF REGISTRATION.

    

    All
      reasonable expenses, other than sales or brokerage commissions, incurred in
      connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections
      2
      and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and
      qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements
      of
      counsel for the Company, shall be paid by the Company.

    
      
        
        

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

    6. INDEMNIFICATION.

    

    a. To
      the
      fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify,
      hold harmless and defend the Investor, each Person, if any, who controls the
      Investor, the members, the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents,
      representatives of the Investor and each Person, if any, who controls the
      Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the Securities Exchange Act
      of
      1934, as amended (the "1934
      Act")
      (each,
      an "Indemnified
      Person"),
      against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties,
      charges, costs, attorneys' fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint
      or several, (collectively, "Claims")
      incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit,
      inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or
      before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency,
      body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified
      party is or may be a party thereto ("Indemnified
      Damages"),
      to
      which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or
      proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out
      of
      or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
      a
      material fact in the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement
      or
      any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with
      the qualification of the offering under the securities or other "blue sky"
      laws
      of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered ("Blue
      Sky Filing"),
      or
      the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated
      therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any
      untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
      the
      final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment
      thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission
      to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made
      therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were
      made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company
      of
      the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any
      state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the
      offer
      or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement
      or
      any New Registration Statement or (iv) any material violation by the Company
      of
      this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being,
      collectively, "Violations").
      The
      Company shall reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly as such expenses are
      incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable
      expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
      such
      Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
      indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply
      to
      a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which
      occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing
      to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with
      the preparation of the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement
      or
      any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely
      made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); (ii)
      with respect to any superceded prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of
      any
      such person from whom the person asserting any such Claim purchased the
      Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any
      person controlling such person) if the untrue statement or omission of material
      fact contained in the superceded prospectus was corrected in the revised
      prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such revised prospectus was
      timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e),
      and the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the
      incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a violation and such
      Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it; (iii) shall not be
      available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to
      deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the
      Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant
      to
      Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); and (iv) shall not apply to amounts paid in
      settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected 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 the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer
      of
      the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section
      9.

    
      
        
        

      

      
        6

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

    

    b. In
      connection with the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement,
      the Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and
      defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section
      6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the
      Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, each Person, if any,
      who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act
      (collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an "Indemnified
      Party"),
      against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become
      subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim
      or
      Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case
      to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance
      upon and in conformity with written information about the Investor set forth
      on
Exhibit
      B
      attached
      hereto and furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in
      connection with such registration statement; and, subject to Section 6(d),
      the
      Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
      them
      in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however,
      that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement
      with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts
      paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the
      prior
      written consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably
      withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under
      this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as
      does
      not exceed the net proceeds to the Investor as a result of the sale of
      Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. Such indemnity
      shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made
      by or
      on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the
      Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9. 

    

    c. Promptly
      after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section
      6
      of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any
      governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person
      or
      Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against
      any
      indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party
      a
      written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall
      have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party
      so
      desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume
      control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the
      indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as
      the
      case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
      shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to
      be
      paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel
      retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the
      Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be
      inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such
      Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by
      such
      counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person 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 or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim.
      The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person
      fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement
      negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for
      any
      settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its written
      consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably
      withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without
      the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry
      of
      any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not
      include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff
      to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability
      in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided
      for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of
      the
      Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties,
      firms
      or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.
      The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a
      reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such
      indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified
      Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party
      is
      prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

    
      
        
        

      

      
        7

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

    

    d. The
      indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments
      of
      the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and
      when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

    

    e. The
      indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause
      of
      action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against
      the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying
      party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

    

    7. CONTRIBUTION.

    

    To
      the
      extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited
      by
      law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect
      to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the
      fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no seller of
      Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
      meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution
      from
      any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent
      misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities
      shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller
      from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

    

    8. REPORTS
      AND DISCLOSURE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACTS.

    

    With
      a
      view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated
      under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that
      may
      at any time permit the Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public
      without registration ("Rule
      144"),
      the
      Company agrees, at the Company’s sole expense, to:

    

    a. make
      and
      keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined
      in
      Rule 144;

    

    b. file
      with
      the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the
      Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as the Company remains
      subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents
      is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

    

    c. furnish
      to the Investor so long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly
      upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with
      the reporting and or disclosure provisions of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the
      1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the
      Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii)
      such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor
      to
      sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

    

    d. take
      such
      additional action as is requested by the Investor to enable the Investor to
      sell
      the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, including, without limitation,
      delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and

      EACH
      PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO
      REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN

      pursuant to which the Company may sell to the Buyer up to Six Million Dollars
      ($6,000,000) of the Company's Common Stock, no par value per share (the
      "Common
      Stock")
      in
      accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The (the "Purchase
      Shares.")

      addition, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to the
      Buyer 2,191,919 shares of Common Stock (the
      "Commitment Shares").
      Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a
      Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of ______, 2006, with the Buyer (the

      applicable to it including applicable prospectus delivery requirements upon
