        the event that Holder does not purchase any or all of the Additional Debentures
        within 10 business days of the date that the delivery of funds associated

        such purchase would otherwise be due, upon 20 days’ prior written notice from
        the Company of such failure to so purchase any or all of the Additional
        Debentures, Holder shall pay an amount equal to $100,000 (the “Non-Funding Penalty”) to the

        Note and any agreements or debentures previously entered into in connection
        with
        any Additional Debenture.  The Company’s sole and exclusive remedy in
        the event that the Holder fails to purchase any or all of the Additional
        Debentures shall be the right of the Company to receive the Non-Funding Penalty
        from the Holder.

        relying upon the accuracy of, and Holder’s compliance with, Holder’s
        representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement to
        determine the availability of such exemption and the eligibility of Holder
        to
        purchase the Securities;

       

      4.           
        Holder understands that the Securities have not been approved or disapproved

        Organization; Reporting Company Status.

       

      1.           
        The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good
        standing under the laws of the state or jurisdiction in which it is incorporated
        and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which
        the
        failure so to qualify would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
        effect on the business, properties, prospects, condition (financial or
        otherwise) or results of operations of the Company or on the consummation
        of any
        of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (a “Material Adverse
        Effect”).

       

      2.           
        The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange
        Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  The
        Common Stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board service of the National
        Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“OTCBB”) and the Company
        has
        not received any notice regarding, and to its Knowledge there is no threat
        of,
        the termination or discontinuance of the eligibility of the Common Stock
        for
        such trading.

       

      C.           
Authorization.  The
        Company (i) has duly and validly authorized and reserved for issuance shares
        of
        Common Stock, which is a number sufficient for the conversion of the Debenture
        in full and (ii) at all times from and after the date hereof shall have a
        sufficient number of shares of Common Stock duly and validly authorized and
        reserved for issuance to satisfy the conversion of the Debenture in
        full.  The Company understands and acknowledges the potentially
        dilutive effect on the Common Stock of the issuance of the Conversion
        Shares.  The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue
        Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Debenture in accordance with this
        Agreement is absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect
        that
        such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of
        the
        Company and notwithstanding the commencement of any case under 11 U.S.C.
        § 101 et
        seq. (the “Bankruptcy
        Code”).  In the event the Company is a debtor under the
        Bankruptcy Code, the Company hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted
        any
        rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. § 362 in respect of the
        conversion of the Debenture.  The Company agrees, without cost or
        expense to Holder, to take or consent to any and all action necessary to
        effectuate relief under 11 U.S.C. § 362.

       

      D.           
Authority;
        Validity and
        Enforceability.  The Company has the requisite corporate power
        and authority to enter into the Documents (as such term is hereinafter defined)
        and to perform all of its obligations hereunder and thereunder (including
        the
        issuance, sale and delivery to Holder of the Securities).  The
        execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Documents and the
        consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
        (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Debenture and the issuance
        and reservation for issuance of the Conversion Shares) have been duly and
        validly authorized byall
        necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and no further filing,
        consent, or authorization is required by the Company, its board of directors,
        or
        its stockholders.  Each of the Documents has been duly and validly
        executed and delivered by the Company and each Document constitutes a valid
        and
        binding obligation of the Company enforceable against it in accordance with
        its
        terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
        reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and
        remedies generally and except as rights to indemnity and contribution may
        be
        limited by federal or state securities laws or the public policy underlying
        such
        laws.  The Securities have been duly and validly authorized for
        issuance by the Company and, when executed and delivered by the Company,
        will be
        valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against it in
        accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
        insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar
        laws
        affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally.  For purposes of
        this Agreement, the term “Documents” means (i) this
        Agreement; (ii) the Debenture; (iii) the Promissory Note; and (iv) the Stock
        Pledge Agreement dated as of the date hereof between the Holder and the parties
        listed on the signature pages thereto (the “Stock Pledge
        Agreement”).

      E.           
Validity
        of Issuance of the
        Securities.  The Debenture and the Conversion Shares upon their
        issuance in accordance with the Debenture, will be validly issued and
        outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to any preemptive
        rights, rights of first refusal, tag-along rights, drag-along rights or other
        similar rights.

       

      F.           
Non-contravention.  The
        execution and delivery by the Company of the Documents, the issuance of the
        Securities, and the consummation by the Company of the other transactions
        contemplated hereby and thereby do not, and compliance with the provisions
        of
        this Agreement and other Documents will not, conflict with, or result in
        any
        violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both)
        under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration
        of
        any obligation or loss of a material benefit under, or result in the creation
        of
        any Lien (as such term is hereinafter defined) upon any of the properties
        or
        assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under, or result in the
        termination of, or require that any consent be obtained or any notice be
        given
        with respect to (i) the Articles or Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws
        of
        the Company or the comparable charter or organizational documents of any
        of its
        Subsidiaries, in each case as amended to the date of this Agreement, (ii)
        any
        loan or credit agreement, debenture, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease, contract
        or other agreement, instrument or permit applicable to the Company or any
        of its
        Subsidiaries or their respective properties or assets or (iii) any statute,
        law,
        rule or regulation applicable to, or any judgment, decree or order of any
        court
        or government body having jurisdiction over, the Company or any of its
        Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets.  A
“Lien” means any
        assignment, transfer, pledge, mortgage, security interest or other encumbrance
        of any nature, or an agreement to do so, or the ownership or acquisition
        or
        agreement to acquire any asset or property of any character subject to any
        of
        the foregoing encumbrances (including any conditional sale contract or other
        title retention agreement).

       

      G.           
Approvals.  No
        authorization, approval or consent of any court or public or governmental
        authority is required to be obtained by the Company for the issuance and
        sale
        ofthe Securities to Holder as contemplated by this
        Agreement, except such authorizations, approvals and consents as have been
        obtained by the Company prior to the date hereof.

      H.           
Commission
        Filings.  Except as set forth on Schedule
        III.H., the
        Company has properly and timely filed (or if not timely filed, such filing
        have
        since been made) with the Commission all reports, proxy statements, forms
        and
        other documents required to be filed with the Commission under the Securities
        Act and the Exchange Act since becoming subject to such Acts (the “Commission
        Filings”).  As of their respective dates, (i) the Commission
        Filings 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 such
        Commission Filings and (ii) none of the Commission Filings contained at the
        time
        of its filing any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state
        a
        material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make
        the
        statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
        not misleading.  The financial statements of the Company included in
        the Commission Filings, as of the dates of such documents, were true and
        complete in all material respects and complied with applicable accounting
        requirements and the published rules and regulations of the Commission with
        respect thereto, were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
        principles in the United States (“GAAP”) (except in the
        case of
        unaudited statements permitted by Form 10-QSB under the Exchange Act) applied
        on
        a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated
        in
        the notes thereto) and fairly presented the consolidated financial position
        of
        the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated
        results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject,
        in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments
        that
        in the aggregate are not material and to any other adjustment described
        therein).

       

      I.           
Full
        Disclosure.  There is no fact known to the Company (other than
        general economic or industry conditions known to the public generally) that
        has
        not been fully disclosed in the Commission Filings that (i) reasonably could
        be
        expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) reasonably could be
        expected to materially and adversely affect the ability of the Company to
        perform its obligations pursuant to the Documents.

       

      J.           
Absence
        of Events of
        Default.  No “Event of Default” (as defined
        in any agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party) and no event
        which, with notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default
        (as so defined), has occurred and is continuing.

       

      K.           
Securities
        Law
        Matters.  Assuming the accuracy of the representations and
        warranties of Holder set forth in Article II, the offer and sale by the Company
        of the Securities is exempt from (i) the registration and prospectus delivery
        requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
        Commission thereunder and (ii) the registration and/or qualification provisions
        of all applicable state and provincial securities and “blue sky”
laws.  The Company shall not directly or indirectly take, and shall
        not permit any of its directors, officers or Affiliates directly or indirectly
        to take, any action (including, without limitation, any offering or sale
        to any
        person or entity of any security similar to the Debenture) which will make
        unavailable the exemption from Securities Act registration being relied upon
        by
        the Company forthe
        offer
        and sale to Holder of the Debenture and the Conversion Shares, as contemplated
        by this Agreement.  No form of general solicitation or advertising has
        been used or authorized by the Company or any of its officers, directors
        or
        Affiliates in connection with the offer or sale of the Debenture (and the
        Conversion Shares), as contemplated by this Agreement or any other agreement
        to
        which the Company is a party.  As used in the Documents, “Affiliate” has the meaning
        ascribed to such term in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act.

      L.           
Registration
        Rights.  Except as set forth on Schedule III.L.,
        no Person has, and as of the Closing (as such term is hereinafter defined),
        no
        Person shall have, any demand, “piggy-back” or other rights to cause the Company
        to file any registration statement under the Securities Act relating to any
        of
        its securities or to participate in any such registration statement.

       

      M.           
Interest.  The
        timely payment of interest on the Debenture is not prohibited by the Articles
        or
        Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company, in each case as amended
        to the date of this Agreement, or any agreement, contract, document or other
        undertaking to which the Company is a party.

       

      N.           
No
        Misrepresentation.  No representation or warranty of the
        Company contained in this Agreement or any of the other Documents, any schedule,
        annex or exhibit hereto or thereto or any agreement, instrument or certificate
        furnished by the Company to Holder pursuant to this Agreement contains any
        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 not
        misleading.

       

      O.           
Finder’s
        Fee.  There
        is no finder’s fee, brokerage commission or like payment in connection with the
        transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which Holder is liable or
        responsible.

       

      P.           
Subsidiaries.  Other
        than the
        Subsidiaries, the Company does not presently own or control, directly or
        indirectly, any interest in any other corporation, association, or other
        business entity.  The Company is not a participant in any joint
        venture, partnership, or similar arrangement.

       

      Q.           
Litigation.  Other
        than as
        disclosed in the Commission Filings, there is no action, suit, proceeding
        or
        investigation pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, currently threatened
        against the Company or its Subsidiaries that questions the validity of this
        Agreement, the Documents, or the right of the Company to enter into such
        agreements, or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby,
        or
        that might result, either individually or in the aggregate, in any material
        adverse changes in the business, assets or condition of the Company and its
        Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, financially or otherwise, or any change in
        the
        current equity ownership of the Company or its Subsidiaries.  Neither
        the Company nor its Subsidiaries are parties or subject to the provisions
        of any
        order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency
        or
        instrumentality.  There is no action, suit, proceeding or
        investigation by the Company or its Subsidiaries currently pending or that
        the
        Company or its Subsidiaries intends to initiate.

      R.           
Agreements.  Except
        for agreements explicitly contemplated hereby, or disclosed in the Commission
        Filings, there are no agreements, understandings or proposed transactions
        between the Company and any of its officers, directors, Affiliates, or any
        affiliate thereof.

       

      S.           
Tax
        Returns.  Except
        as disclosed in the Commission Filings, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries
        has made and filed all federal and state income and all other tax returns,
        reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject
        and
        (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) 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.

       

      
        	
                 

              	
                IV.

              	
                CERTAIN
                  COVENANTS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 

              

      

       

      A.           
Filings.  The
        Company shall make all necessary Commission Filings and “blue sky” filings
        required to be made by the Company in connection with the sale of the Securities
        to Holder as required by all applicable laws, and shall provide a copy thereof
        to Holder promptly after such filing.

       

      B.           
Reporting
        Status.  So long as Holder beneficially owns any of the
        Securities, the Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed
        by it
        with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or
        otherwise required by the Exchange Act.  On or before the fourth
        Business Day following the date hereof, the Company shall file a Current
        Report
        on Form 8-K describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the
        Documents in the form required by the Exchange Act and attaching the material
        Documents (including, without limitation, this Agreement, the Debenture and
        the
        Stock Pledge Agreement) as exhibits to such filing.

       

      C.           
Listing.  Except
        to
        the extent the Company lists its Common Stock on The New York Stock Exchange,
        The American Stock Exchange or The Nasdaq Stock Market, the Company shall
        use
        its best efforts to maintain its listing of the Common Stock on
        OTCBB.  If the Common Stock is delisted from OTCBB, the Company will
        use its best efforts to list the Common Stock on the most liquid national
        securities exchange or quotation system that the Common Stock is qualified
        to be
        listed on.

       

      D.           
Reserved
        Conversion Common
        Stock.  The Company at all times from and after the date hereof
        shall have such number of shares of Common Stock duly and validly authorized
        and
        reserved for issuance as shall be sufficient for the conversion in full of
        the
        Debenture, provided however that the Company shall not be required to authorize
        and reserve additional shares of Common Stock required for the conversion
        of any
        Additional Debenture until the 6 month anniversary of the date hereof.

      
        
           

        

        
          -9-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      E.           
Information.  Each
        of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that Holder shall not be provided
        with, nor be given access to, any material non-public information relating
        to
        the Company.

       

      F.           
Accounting
        and
        Reserves.  The Company shall maintain a standard and uniform
        system of accounting and shall keep proper books and records and accounts
        in
        which full, true, and correct entries shall be made of its transactions,
        all in
        accordance with GAAP applied on consistent basis through all periods, and
        shall
        set aside on such books for each fiscal year all such reserves for depreciation,
        obsolescence, amortization, bad debts and other purposes in connection with
        its
        operations as are required by such principles so applied.

       

      G.           
Transactions
        with
        Affiliates.  So long as the Debenture is outstanding, neither
        the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, enter
        into any material transaction or agreement with any stockholder, officer,
        director or Affiliate of the Company or family member of any officer, director
        or Affiliate of the Company, unless the transaction or agreement is
        (i) reviewed and approved by a majority of Disinterested Directors (as such
        term is hereinafter defined) and (ii) on terms no less favorable to the
        Company or the applicable Subsidiary than those obtainable from a nonaffiliated
        person.  A “Subsidiary” means any entity
        of which securities or other ownership interests having ordinary voting power
        to
        elect a majority of the board of directors or other persons performing similar
        functions are owned directly or indirectly by the Company.  A “Disinterested Director” shall
        mean a director of the Company who is not and has not been an officer or
        employee of the Company and who is not a member of the family of, controlled
        by
        or under common control with, any such officer or employee.

       

      H.           
Certain
        Restrictions.  So long as the Debenture is outstanding, no
        dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment nor shall any
        other
        distribution be declared or made upon any capital stock of the Company, nor
        shall any capital stock of the Company be redeemed, purchased or otherwise
        acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of shares
        of
        Common Stock made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan
        (including a stock option plan) of the Company or pursuant to any of the
        security agreements listed on Schedule IV.H) for
        any consideration by the Company, directly or indirectly, nor shall any moneys
        be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any
        Common
        Stock.

       

      I.           
Short
        Selling. So long as
        the Debenture is outstanding, Holder agrees and covenants on its behalf and
        on
        behalf of its affiliates that neither Holder nor its affiliates shall at
        any
        time engage in any short sales with respect to the Company’s Common Stock, or
        sell put options or similar instruments with respect to the Company’s Common
        Stock. The parties acknowledge that Holder shall be entitled, subject to
        applicable securities laws, to sell the Common Stock from each Debenture
        conversion immediately upon submission of the applicable Debenture Conversion
        Notice, and payment of the purchase price, to the Company for such Common
        Stock.

      A.           
The
        Company
        undertakes and agrees that no instruction other than the instructions referred
        to in this Article V shall be given to its transfer agent for the Conversion
        Shares and that the Conversion Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable
        on
        the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this
        Agreement and applicable law. Nothing contained in this Section V.A. shall
        affect in any way Holder’s obligations and agreement to comply with all
        applicable securities laws upon resale of such Common Stock.

       

      B.           
Holder
        shall
        have the right to convert the Debenture by telecopying an executed and completed
        Conversion Notice (as such term is defined in the Debenture) to the Company.
        Each date on which a Conversion Notice is telecopied to and received by the
        Company in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion
        Date (as such term is defined in the Debenture). The Company shall cause
        the
        transfer agent to transmit the certificates evidencing the Common Stock issuable
        upon conversion of the Debenture (together with a new debenture, if any,
        representing the principal amount of the Debenture not being so converted)
        to
        Holder via express courier, or if a Registration Statement covering the Common
        Stock has been declared effective by the SEC by electronic transfer, within
        three (3) business days after receipt by the Company of the Conversion Notice,
        as applicable (the “Delivery
        Date”).

       

      C.           
Upon
        the
        conversion of the Debenture or respective part thereof, the Company shall,
        at
        its own cost and expense, take all necessary action (including the issuance
        of
        an opinion of counsel) to assure that the Company's transfer agent shall
        issue
        stock certificates in the name of Holder (or its nominee) or such other persons
        as designated by Holder and in such denominations to be specified at conversion
        or exercise representing the number of shares of common stock issuable upon
        such
        conversion or exercise. The Company warrants that the Conversion Shares will
        be
        unlegended, free-trading, and freely transferable, and will not contain a
        legend
        restricting the resale or transferability of the Company Common Stock provided
        the Conversion Shares, as applicable, are being sold pursuant to an effective
        registration statement covering the Common Stock to be sold or is otherwise
        freely transferable under Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act,
        or
        its successor.

       

      D.           
The
        Company
        understands that a delay in the delivery of the Common Stock in the form
        required pursuant to this section, or the Mandatory Redemption Amount described
        in Section E hereof, beyond the Delivery Date or Mandatory Redemption Payment
        Date (as hereinafter defined) could result in economic loss to the Holder.
        As
        compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late
        payments to the Holder for late issuance of Common Stock in the form required
        pursuant to Section E hereof upon Conversion of the Debenture or late payment
        of
        the Mandatory Redemption Amount, in the amount of $100 per business day after
        the Delivery Date or Mandatory Redemption Payment Date, as the case may be,
        for
        each $10,000 of Debenture principal amount being converted or redeemed. The
        Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately
        available funds upon demand. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies
        which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails
        for
        any reason to effect delivery of the Common Stock by the Delivery Date or
        make
        payment by the Mandatory Redemption Payment Date, the Holder will beentitled
        to revoke all or part of the relevant Notice of Conversion or rescind all
        or
        part of the notice of Mandatory Redemption by delivery of a notice to such
        effect to the Company whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be
        restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery
        of such
        notice, except that late payment charges described above shall be payable
        through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the
        Company.

      
        
           

        

        
          -11-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      E.           
Mandatory
        Redemption. In the
        event the Company is prohibited from issuing Common Stock, or fails to timely
        deliver Common Stock on a Delivery Date, or upon the occurrence of an Event
        of
        Default (as defined in the Debenture) or for any reason other than pursuant
        to
        the limitations set forth herein, then at the Holder's election, the Company
        must pay to the Holder ten (10) business days after request by the Holder
        or on
        the Delivery Date (if requested by the Holder) a sum of money determined
        by
        multiplying up to the outstanding Principal Amount (as defined in the Debenture)
        of the Debenture designated by the Holder by 120%, together with accrued
        but
        unpaid interest thereon ("Mandatory Redemption
        Payment"). The Mandatory Redemption Payment must be received by the
        Holder on the same date as the Company Common Stock otherwise deliverable
        or
        within ten (10) business days after request, whichever is sooner ("Mandatory Redemption Payment
        Date"). Upon receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, the
        corresponding Debenture principal and interest will be deemed paid and no
        longer
        outstanding.

       

      F.           
Buy-In.
        In addition to any
        other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to
        the
        Holder such Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Debenture by the Delivery
        Date and if ten (10) days after the Delivery Date the Holder purchases (in
        an
        open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in
        satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Common Stock which the Holder
        anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a "Buy-In"), then the Company
        shall pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any remedies available to
        or
        elected by the Holder) the amount by which (A) the Holder's total purchase
        price
        (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock
        so
        purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate principal and/or interest amount of the
        Debenture for which such conversion was not timely honored, together with
        interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and
        any
        accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as
        liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For example, if the Holder purchases
        shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover
        a
        Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of $10,000 of Debenture
        principal, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000, plus
        interest. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating
        the
        amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.

       

      G.           
The
        Securities shall be deemed delivered by the Company to the Holder upon the
        Holder’s delivery of the Purchase Price (including the Promissory Note) at the
        Closing.

       

      
        	
                 

              	
                VI.

              	
                CLOSING
                  DATE 

              

      

       

      The
        “Closing” shall occur by
        the delivery: (i) to the Holder of the documents evidencing the Debenture
        and
        all other Documents, and (ii) to the Company the Purchase Price,
        includingthe
        Promissory Note, and the date on which the Closing occurs shall be referred
        to
        herein as the “Closing
        Date”.

                CONDITIONS
                  TO THE COMPANY’S OBLIGATIONS 

              

      

       

      Holder

        on or before the Closing Date of all covenants and agreements of Holder required
        to be performed by it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Documents

        before the Closing Date; and

       

      C.           
There

        or
        public or governmental authority restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting
        any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

      C.

        respective officers, directors, employees, consultants, partners and members
        (collectively, the “Holder
        Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
        judgments, penalties, liabilities and deficiencies (collectively, “Losses”) and agrees to
        reimburse Holder Indemnitees for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
        (including the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel), in each case
        promptly as incurred by Holder Indemnitees and to the extent arising out
        of or
        in connection with:

       

      1.           
        any misrepresentation, omission of fact or breach of any of the Company’s
        representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the other
        Documents, or the annexes, schedules or exhibits hereto or thereto or any
        instrument, agreement or certificate entered into or delivered by the Company
        pursuant to this Agreement or the other Documents;

       

      2.           
        any failure by the Company to perform any of its covenants, agreements,
        undertakings or obligations set forth in this Agreement or the other Documents
        or any instrument, certificate or agreement entered into or delivered by
        the
        Company pursuant to this Agreement or the other Documents; and

       

      3.           
        any claims by third parties in connection with the purchase of the Debenture,
        the conversion of the Debenture, the payment of interest on the Debenture,
        the
        consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other
        Documents, the use of any of the proceeds of the Purchase Price by the Company,
        the purchase or ownership of any or all of the Securities, the performance
        by
        the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder and under the
        Documents or any claim, litigation, investigation, proceedings or governmental
        action relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not Holder is a party
        thereto.

       

      C.           
Promptly
        after receipt by a party seeking indemnification pursuant to this
        Article VIII (an “Indemnified Party”) of written
        notice of any investigation, claim, proceeding or other action in respect
        of
        which indemnification is being sought (each, a “Claim”), the Indemnified
        Party
        promptly shall notify the Company against whom indemnification pursuant to
        this
        Article VIII is being sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the
        commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party
        shall
        not relieve it from any liability that it otherwise may have to the Indemnified
        Party except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced
        and forfeits substantive rights or defenses by reason of such
        failure.  In connection with any Claim as to which both the
        Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are parties, the Indemnifying
        Party
        shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof.  Notwithstanding the
        assumption of the defense of any Claim by the Indemnifying Party, the
        Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate legal counsel and
        to
        participate in the defense of such Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall
        bear
        the reasonable fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such separate legal
        counsel to the Indemnified Party if (and only if): (x) the Indemnifying
        Party shall have agreed to pay such fees, out-of-pocket costs and
        expenses,(y) the Indemnified Party and the
        Indemnifying Party reasonably shall have concluded that representation of
        the
        Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same legal counsel would
        not
        be appropriate due to actual or, as reasonably determined by legal counsel
        to
        the Indemnified Party, potentially differing interests between such parties
        in
        the conduct of the defense of such Claim, or if there may be legal defenses
        available to the Indemnified Party that are in addition to or disparate from
        those available to the Indemnifying Party or (z) the Indemnifying Party
        shall have failed to employ legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
        Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of time after notice of the
        commencement of such Claim.  If the Indemnified Party employs separate
        legal counsel in circumstances other than as described in clauses (x), (y)
        or
        (z) above, the fees, costs and expenses of such legal counsel shall be borne
        exclusively by the Indemnified Party.  Except as provided above, the
        Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any Claim in the same
        jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of
        legal
        counsel for the Indemnified Party (together with appropriate local
        counsel).  The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written
        consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not unreasonably be
        withheld), settle or compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any
        judgment that does not include an unconditional release of the Indemnified
        Party
        from all liabilities with respect to such Claim or judgment.

      D.           
In
        the event
        one party hereunder should have a claim for indemnification that does not
        involve a claim or demand being asserted by a third party, the Indemnified
        Party
        promptly shall deliver notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party. If
        the
        Indemnified Party disputes the claim, such dispute shall be resolved by mutual
        agreement of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or by binding
        arbitration conducted in accordance with the procedures and rules of the
        American Arbitration Association. Judgment upon any award rendered by any
        arbitrators may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction
        thereof.

      This
        Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws
        of
        the State of California, without regard to the conflicts of law principles
        of
        such state.

                SUBMISSION

      Each
        of
        the parties hereto consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal
        courts
        whose districts encompass any part of the City of San Diego or the state
        courts
        of the State of California sitting in the City of San Diego in connection
        with
        any dispute arising under this Agreement and the other
        Documents.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
        waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any defense of an
        inconvenient forum or improper venue to the maintenance of such action or
        proceeding in any such court and any right of jurisdiction on account of
        its
        place of residence or domicile.  Each party hereto irrevocably and
        unconditionally consents to the service of any and all process in any such
        action or proceeding in such courts by the mailing of copies of such process
        by
        registered or certified mail (return receipt requested), postage prepaid,
        at its
        address specified in Article XVII.  Each party hereto agrees that a
        final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and
        maybe
        enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
        provided by law.

      This
        Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed
        and
        delivered shall be an original, but both of which counterparts shall together
        constitute one and the same instrument.  A facsimile transmission of
        this signed Agreement shall be legal and binding on both parties hereto.

      In
        the
        event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in
        the
        other Documents should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect,
        the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained
        herein or therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired
        thereby.  The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to
        replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions,
        the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid,
        illegal or unenforceable provisions.

        hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior
        agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or
        written, of such parties.  No supplement, modification or waiver of
        this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both
        parties.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall
        be deemed or shall constitutea
        waiver
        of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver
        constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

      The
        Company has determined that certain “Information Statements” required to be
        filed under Reg 14C of the Exchange Act in connection with certain actions
        taken
        by written consent of the Company’s stockholders, in 2000, 2005 and 2007, were
        not so filed, and has begun communications with the Securities and Exchange
        Commission’s Division of Corporation Finance in this regard.  Current
        management of the Company, which came on board in mid 2007, has not made
        a
        thorough review of prior Commission Filings.  However, except as set
        forth above, current management is not aware of material omissions or
        misstatements in said filings that have not since been corrected by more
        recent
        filings.  In addition, current management, with newly hired S.E.C.
        counsel, has undertaken to prepare and file a Form 10KSB for the year ended
        Dec
        31, 2007, and all periodic reports required under the Exchange Act thereafter,
        that will comply in all respects with the requirements of the Exchange
        Act.

                exchange
                for any or all of the Pledged Shares; and

            

    

     

    
      	
               

            	
              (b)

            	
              all
                proceeds of any and all of the foregoing Pledged Collateral, in whatever
                form (including, without limitation, proceeds that constitute property
                of
                the types described above).

                Average
                Price per share of the Company’s Common Stock shall equal a price per
                share that is equal to or less than $0.01 per share (as adjusted

                stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, subdivisions,
                recapitalizations or the like) (the “Common Stock Event”) and the Pledgee
                shall notify the Pledgor and the Company in writing of the occurrence
                of
                the Common Stock Event (the “Common Stock Event Notice”), such Common
                Stock Event shall constitute an Event of Default under the terms
                of the
                Debenture and this Agreement, regardless of whether the Volume Weighted
                Average Price of the Company’s Common Stock again shall equal a price per
                share that is above $0.01 per share (as adjusted for any
                stock splits,
                stock dividends, combinations, subdivisions, recapitalizations or
                the
                like). 

            

    

     

    For
      purposes of this Agreement, “Volume Weighted Average Price” per share of the
      Company’s Common Stock means the volume weighted average price of the Company’s
      Common Stock during any Trading Day as reported on the NASDAQ OTCBB Exchange;
      provided
      further, that, if such security is not listed or admitted to trading on
      the NASDAQ OTCBB, as reported on the principal national security exchange or
      quotation system on which such security is quoted or listed or admitted to
      trading, including without limitation the “pink sheets” through the Interdealer
      Trading Quotation System, or, if not quoted or listed or admitted to trading
      on
      any national securities exchange or quotation system, the volume weighted
      average price of the Company's Common Stock during any Trading Day on the
      over-the-counter market as reported by Bloomberg LP or a similar generally
      accepted reporting service, as the case may be.  For purposes of this
      Agreement, “Trading Day” means any day on which (i) purchases and sales of
      securities on the principal national security exchange or quotation system
      on
      which the Company’s Common Stock are traded are reported thereon, or, if not
      quoted or listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange
      or
      quotation system, as reported by Bloomberg LP or a similar generally accepted
      reporting service, as the case may be, (ii) at least one bid for the trading
      of
      the Company’s Common Stock is reported and (iii) no event that results in a
      material suspension or limitation of trading of the Company’s Common Stock
      occurs.

      of any kind or nature of the Company to the Pledgee now existing or hereafter
      arising under or in connection with this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement,
      the
      Debenture, and any and all related agreements, documents and instruments, each
      as now existing and as hereafter amended, modified and supplemented
      (collectively, the "Transaction Documents"), provided however, that the

      lesser of (i) the Cash Advance, or (ii) that portion of the Cash Advance that
      has not been converted into the Company’s Common Stock under the terms of the
      Debenture and remains represented by the outstanding principal balance of the
      Debenture.

              (b)

            	
              The
                Pledgor is the legal, record and beneficial owner of the Pledged
                Collateral represented opposite Pledgor’s name in Schedule 1(a) attached
                hereto, free and clear of any lien, security interest, restriction,

              The

                sell or
                dispose of the Pledged Shares in a manner intended to circumvent
                the
                registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
                or
                any applicable state law.

                to
                the date of this Agreement been an “affiliate” (as such term is defined in
                the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations
                promulgated thereunder) of the Company.

            

    

     

    
      	
               

            	
              (f)

                Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such
                Pledgor enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as the
                enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
                conveyance, reorganization, moratorium, and similar laws, now or
                hereafter
                in effect).

                pursuant to this Agreement (except as may be required in connection
                with
                any disposition of any portion of the Pledged Collateral by laws
                affecting
                the offering and sale of securities generally).

      and
      deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action,
      that
      may be necessary or desirable, or that the Pledgee may reasonably request,

      be
      granted hereby or to enable Pledgee to exercise and enforce its rights and
      remedies hereunder with respect to any Pledged Collateral.  The
      Company and/or the Pledgor shall take all further action that may be necessary
      or desirable, or that the Pledgee may reasonably request to assist in the
      delivery to the Pledgee of any legal opinion(s) necessary for the Pledgee to
      sell or otherwise dispose of the Pledged Collateral upon an Event of Default

      of specific performance and/or monetary damages, from the Pledgor and/or the
      Company for the full amount of damages to the Pledgee resulting directly or
      indirectly from such failure to provide the Legal Opinion Assistance, including
      without limitation any damages to the Pledgee resulting from the inability
      of
      the Pledgee to sell, dispose of, or transfer the Pledged Collateral due to
      the
      failure of the Company and/or the Pledgor to provide the Legal Opinion
      Assistance.

                defined)
                from the Pledgee the Company has not paid all outstanding principal
                and

    SECTION
      8.             Pledgee Appointed
      Attorney-in-Fact.  The Pledgor hereby appoints the Pledgee as
      the Pledgor's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead
      of
      the Pledgor and in the name of the Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time
      in
      Pledgee's discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument which
      Pledgee may deem necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this
      Agreement, including, without limitation, to receive, endorse and collect all
      instruments made payable to the Pledgor representing any dividend, interest
      payment or other distribution in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part
      thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    SECTION
      9.            Pledgee May
      Perform.  If the Pledgor fails to perform any agreement
      contained herein, Pledgee may itself perform, or cause performance of, such
      agreement, and the expenses of Pledgee incurred in connection therewith shall
      be
      payable by the Pledgor to Pledgee along with any other amounts due to be paid
      by
      the Pledgor to Pledgee hereunder.

     

    SECTION
      10.          The Pledgee's
      Duties.  Except for the safe custody of any Pledged Collateral
      in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it
      hereunder, Pledgee shall not have any duty as to any Pledged Collateral, as
      to
      ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges,
      maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Pledged Collateral, whether
      or not such party has or is to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the
      taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any
      other rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral.  Pledgee shall be
      deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of
      any
      Pledged Collateral in its possession if such Pledged Collateral is accorded
      treatment substantially equal to that which such party accords its own
      property.

     

    SECTION
      11.           Event of
      Default.  The occurrence of any of the following events, which
      events occur prior to the date the Company pays or converts upon the request
      of
      the Pledgee all amounts due on the Debenture in connection with the Cash
      Advance, including any liquidated damages that may become due, shall constitute
      an event of default under this Agreement (each, an "Event of Default"):

     

    
      	
               

            	
              (a)

            	
              the
                Company’s breach of a material covenant under this Agreement or the
                occurrence of an Event of Default under the Debenture, including
                without
                limitation the occurrence of a Common Stock Event, as described in
                Section
                1.2 of this Agreement; 

            

    

     

    
      	
               

            	
              (b)

            	
              if
                any representation or warranty of the Pledgor set forth in this Agreement
                shall be breached or shall be untrue or incorrect in any material
                respect
                or the Pledgor shall otherwise breach any term of this Agreement;
                or
                

            

    

     

    
      	
               

            	
              (c)

            	
              the
                filing of any financing statement with regard to any of the Pledged
                Collateral other than pursuant to this Agreement, or the attachment
                of any
                additional Lien to any portion of the Pledged Collateral in favor
                of any
                Person other than the Pledgee. 

            

    

     

    SECTION
      12.          Cross-Default;
      Cross-Collateralization.  The Pledgor acknowledges and agrees
      that any default under the terms of this Agreement shall constitute a default
      by
      the Company under the Debenture.  The security interests, liens and
      other rights and interests in and relative to any of the personal property
      of
      the Pledgor now or hereafter granted to the Pledgee by the Pledgor pursuant
      to
      any agreement, document or instrument, including, but not limited to, this
      Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or the Debenture, shall serve as security
      for
      any and all of the Obligations, and, for the repayment thereof, Pledgee may
      resort to any such collateral in such order and manner as Pledgee may
      elect.

     

    SECTION
      13.          Remedies upon Event
      of
      Default.  After the occurrence of any Event of Default if
      within twenty four hours of receiving written notice of such Event of Default
      from the Pledgee the Company has not paid all outstanding principal and accrued
      and unpaid interest and all other amounts owed on the Debenture to the extent
      of
      the Cash Advance:

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    
      	
               

            	
              (a)

            	
              Pledgee
                may exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral held by it, in
                addition
                to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available
                to
                the Pledgee (including, without limitation, the vesting in the Pledgee
                pursuant to Section 6(b)(i) of the sole right to exercise voting
                rights
                pertaining to the Pledged Collateral, including, without limitation,
                voting rights with respect to the sale of assets of the Company),
                all the
                rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Uniform
                Commercial Code in effect in the State of California at that time
                (the
                "UCC") (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral),
                and
                may also, without notice except as specified below, to the extent
                required
                to pay all amounts due on the Debenture associated with such Event
                of
                Default (provided however that such amounts shall not exceed the
                Cash
                Advance), including without limitation principal, accrued but unpaid
                interest, liquidated damages, if any, that are due under the Debenture
                and
                fees, sell, in a commercially reasonable sale, the Pledged Collateral
                or
                any part thereof in one or more parcels at a public sale, provided
                that
                the Pledged Collateral is then trading on a Trading Market (as defined
                in
                the Purchase Agreement), or at a private sale, if the Pledged Collateral
                is no longer trading on a Trading Market, for cash, on credit or
                for
                future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Pledgee may deem
                commercially reasonable. The application of the proceeds realized
                upon the
                sale of the Pledged Collateral may, in the sole discretion of the
                Pledgee,
                be applied to all or any portion of the amounts due on the Debenture
                associated with such Event of Default, in any order specified by
                the
                Pledgee, including without limitation the application of the proceeds
                realized upon the sale of the Pledged Collateral first to the liquidated
                damages, if any, owed in connection with the Debenture, and then
                to all
                other amounts due on the Debenture associated with such Event of
                Default,
                including without limitation principal, accrued and unpaid interest
                thereon and any other fees due under the Debenture, provided however,
                that
                such proceeds may only be applied to the satisfaction of the Cash
                Advance
                that is then outstanding under the Debenture, if any. The Pledgor
                agrees
                that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least
                three (3) days' notice to the Pledgor of the time and place of any
                public
                sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall
                constitute reasonable notification. Pledgee shall not be obligated
                to make
                any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having
                been
                given. The Pledgee may adjourn any public or private sale from time
                to
                time without notice. The Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that the
                Pledged
                Collateral consisting of the Pledged Shares, and/or any other shares
                of
                common stock of the Company, is of a type customarily sold on a recognized
                market, and accordingly that no notice of the sale thereof need be
                given.
                

            

    

     

    
      	
               

            	
              (b)

            	
              Any
                cash held by Pledgee as Pledged Collateral and all cash proceeds
                received
                by Pledgee in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other
                realization upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral may, in
                the
                discretion of Pledgee, be held as collateral for, and/or then or
                at any
                time thereafter be applied (after payment of any amounts payable
                pursuant
                to Section 14) in whole or in part against all or any part of the
                Obligations. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by Pledgee
                and
                remaining after payment in full of all the Obligations shall be paid
                over
                to the Pledgor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive
                such
                surplus. 

            

    

     

    SECTION
      14.           Fees.  In
      the event an action is brought by Pledgee to enforce this Agreement, Pledgee
      shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs from
      Pledgor for such action.

     

    SECTION
      15.          Continuing Security
      Interest; Termination.  This Agreement shall create a
      continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall remain in
      full
      force and effect  until the indefeasible payment in full of the
      Obligations.  Upon the indefeasible payment in full of the
      Obligations, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights
      to the Pledged Collateral shall revert to the Pledgor and all certificates
      representing the Pledged Collateral shall be re-issued in the name of the
      Pledgor, the Pledgor’s successors or assigns to the extent such certificates are
      not already in such names.  Upon any such termination, the Pledgee
      shall immediately but no later than three Business Days after such termination,
      at the Pledgor's expense, return to the Pledgor such of the Pledged Collateral
      as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof
      and execute and deliver to the Pledgor such documents as the Pledgor shall
      reasonably request to evidence such termination.  Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, within ten days of the Cash Advance being reduced by an amount equal
      to 25% of the original value of the Cash Advance, either due to repayment by
      the
      Company or conversion of such portion of the Cash Advance into the Company’s
      Common Stock at the request of the Pledgor under the terms of the Debenture,
      the
      Pledgee shall return to the Pledgor one Pledged Shares Certificate for each
      25%
      portion of the original value of the Cash Advance so repaid or converted.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    SECTION
      16.          Governing Law;
      Terms.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
      accordance with, the laws of the State of California, without regard to
      principles of conflict of laws.  The Pledgor agrees to submit itself
      to the in personam jurisdiction of the state and federal courts situated within
      San Diego County, California with regard to any controversy arising out of
      or
      relating to this Agreement.  Unless otherwise defined herein or in the

              Waiver
                of
                Defense.  No course of dealing between the Pledgor and

                or under any of the other Transaction Documents shall operate as

      concurrently or in any order.

      20.         Indemnity.  The
      Pledgor agrees:

              to
                indemnify and hold harmless the Pledgee and its respective, employees,
                consultants, officers, directors, shareholder, partners, successors
                and
                assigns against and from all liabilities, losses, and costs (including,
                without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or
                relating
                to the taking or the failure to take action in respect of any transaction
                effected under this Agreement or in connection with the lien provided
                for
                herein, including, without limitation, any and all excise, sales
                or other
                taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect
                to any
                of the Pledged Collateral. 

            

    

     

    
      	
               

            	
              (b)

            	
              to
                pay and reimburse the Pledgee upon demand for all reasonable costs
                and
                expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
                and
                expenses) that the Pledgee may incur in connection with (i) the custody,
                use or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from or other
                realization upon, any of the Pledged Collateral, including the reasonable
                expenses of re-taking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling
                or
                otherwise disposing of or realizing on the Pledged Collateral, (ii)
                the
                exercise or enforcement of any rights or remedies granted hereunder,
                under
                the Debenture or otherwise available to it (whether at law, in equity
                or
                otherwise), or (iii) the failure by the Pledgor to perform or observe
                any
                of the provisions hereof. 

            

    

     

    The
      liabilities of the Pledgor under this Section 20 shall survive the termination
      of this Agreement.

     

    SECTION
      21.        Severability.  The
      provisions of this Agreement are severable.  If any provision of this
      Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any
      jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such
      provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner
      affect such provision or part thereof in any other jurisdiction, or any other
      provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.

     

    SECTION
      22.        Counterparts.  This
      Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be
      considered an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and
      the
      same instrument and shall become
      effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to
      the
      other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same
      counterpart.  In
      the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail
      delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and
      binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature
      is
      executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page
      were an original
      thereof.

     

    SECTION
      23.        Amendments; Entire
      Agreement.  This Agreement is subject to modification only by a
      writing signed by the parties.  To the extent that any provision of
      this Agreement conflicts with any provision of the Purchase Agreement or the
      Debenture, the provision giving the Pledgee greater rights or remedies shall
      govern, it being understood that the purpose of this Agreement is to add to,
      and
      not detract from, the rights granted to the Pledgee under the Purchase Agreement
      and the Debenture.  This Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the
      Debenture and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement
      of
      the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

      may
      not, without the prior written consent of the Pledgee, assign or delegate any
      rights, powers, duties or obligations hereunder, and any such purported
      assignment or delegation without such consent shall be null and
      void.  Pledgee may assign or delegate any rights, powers, duties or
      obligations hereunder without the consent of the Pledgor.

      WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed and delivered this
