    2.3         
Puts of Common Shares
to the Investor.

    

    2.3.1   Procedure  to Exercise a
Put. Subject to the Individual Put Limit, the Maximum Offering Amount and
the Cap Amount (if applicable), and subject to the satisfaction of the Put
Conditions and the other conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement,
at any time beginning on the date on which the Registration Statement is
declared effective by the SEC (the “Effective Date”), the Company may, in its
sole and absolute discretion, elect to exercise one or more Puts according to
the following procedure, provided that each subsequent Put Date after the first
Put Date shall be no sooner than five (5) Business Days following the preceding
Pricing Period End Date:

    

    (a) Delivery of Advance Put
Notice.At least one (1) Business Day but not more than twenty (20)
Business Days prior to any intended Put Date, the Company shall deliver advance
written notice (the “Advance Put Notice,” the form of which is attached hereto
as Exhibit A,
the date of such Advance Put Notice being the “Advance Put Notice Date”) to
Investor stating the Put Date for which the Company shall, subject to the
limitations and restrictions contained herein, exercise a Put and stating the
number of shares of Common Stock (subject to the Individual Put Limit and the
Maximum Put Dollar Amount) which the Company intends to sell to the Investor for
the Put (the “Intended Put Share Amount”).   

    
      
         

      

      
        12

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    The Company may, at its option, also
designate in any Advance Put Notice (i) a maximum dollar amount of Common Stock,
not to exceed $250,000, which it shall sell to Investor during the Put (the
“Company Designated Maximum Put Dollar Amount”) and/or (ii) a minimum purchase
price per Put Share at which the Investor may purchase shares of Common Stock
pursuant to such Put Notice (a "Company Designated Minimum Put Share
Price").  The Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price, if
applicable, shall be no greater than the lesser of (i) 80% of the Closing Bid
Price of the Company’s common stock on the Business Day immediately preceding
the Advance Put Notice Date, or (ii) the Closing Bid Price of the Company’s
common stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the Advance Put Notice
Date minus $0.0125.  The Company may decrease (but not increase) the
Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price for a Put at any time by giving the
Investor written notice of such decrease not later than 12:00 Noon, New York
City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Business Day that such
decrease is to take effect.  A decrease in the Company Designated
Minimum Put Share Price shall have no retroactive effect on the determination of
Trigger Prices and Excluded Days for days preceding the Business Day that such
decrease takes effect, provided that the Put Share Price for all shares in a Put
shall be calculated using the lowest Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price,
as decreased.

    

    (b) Put Share Amount. The
“Put Share Amount” is the number of shares of Common Stock that the Investor
shall be obligated to purchase in a given Put, and shall equal the lesser of (i)
the Intended Put Share Amount, and (ii) the Individual Put Limit.  The
“Individual Put Limit” shall equal the lesser of (A) 1,500,000 shares, (B) 15%
of the sum of the aggregate daily reported Trading Volumes in the outstanding
Common Stock on the Company’s Principal Market, excluding any block trades that
exceed 20,000 shares of Common Stock, for all Evaluation Days (as
defined below) in the Pricing Period, (C) the number of Put Shares which, when
multiplied by their respective Put Share Prices, equals the Maximum Put Dollar
Amount, and (D) the 4.9% Limitation (collectively referred to
herein as the “Volume Limitations”).  Company agrees not to
trade Common Stock or arrange for Common Stock to be traded for the purpose of
artificially increasing the Volume
Limitations.    

    

    For purposes of this
Agreement:

    

    "Trigger Price" for any Pricing Period
shall mean the greater of (i) the Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price,
plus $0.01, or (ii) the Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price divided by
..96.

    

    An “Excluded Day” shall mean each
Business Day during a Pricing Period where the lowest intra-day trading price of
the Common Stock is less than the Trigger Price and each Business Day defined in
Section 2.3.4 as an “Excluded Day”.

    

    An “Evaluation Day” shall mean each
Business Day during a Pricing Period that is not an Excluded
Day.

    
      
         

      

      
        13

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    (c) Put Share
Price.  The purchase price for the Put Shares (the “Put Share
Price”) shall equal the lesser of (i) the Market Price for such Put, minus
$0.01, or (ii) 96% of the Market Price for such Put, but shall in no event be
less than the Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price for such Put, if
applicable. 

    

    (d) Delivery of Put
Notice.  After delivery of an Advance Put Notice, on the Put
Date specified in the Advance Put Notice the Company shall deliver written
notice (the “Put Notice,” the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit E) to
Investor stating (i) the Put Date, (ii) the Intended Put Share Amount as
specified in the Advance Put Notice (such exercise a “Put”), (iii) the Company
Designated Maximum Put Dollar Amount (if applicable), and (iv) the Company
Designated Minimum Put Share Price (if applicable).  In order to
effect delivery of the Put Notice, the Company shall (i) send the Put Notice by
facsimile on the Put Date so that such notice is received by the Investor by
6:00 p.m., New York, NY time, and (ii) surrender such notice on the Put Date to
a courier for overnight delivery to the Investor (or two (2) day delivery in the
case of an Investor residing outside of the U.S.). 

    

    (e) Delivery of Required Put
Documents. On or before the Put Date for such Put, the Company shall
deliver the Required Put Documents (as defined in Section 2.3.6 below) to the
Investor (or to an agent of Investor, if Investor so directs).  Unless
otherwise specified by the Investor or not permitted by DTC, the Put Shares of
Common Stock shall be delivered to the Investor in accordance with Section 2.3
by crediting the Investor’s or its designees’ account at DTC through its
Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system.

    

     (f)
Limitation on
Investor's Obligation to Purchase Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the Investor be required to
purchase, and an Intended Put Share Amount may not include, an amount of Put
Shares, which when added to the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company
then beneficially owned by the Investor would exceed 4.9% of the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding after issuance of such Put Shares, as
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.  Each
Put Notice shall include a representation of the Company as to the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding on the related Put Date.  In the
event that the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding decreases during a
Pricing Period from the number as of the Put Date associated with such Pricing
Period, then the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date
during such Pricing Period shall govern for purposes of determining whether the
number of shares beneficially owned by the Investor following the issuance of
the subject Put Shares, would constitute in excess of 4.9% of the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding.  The limitation set forth in this
Section 2.3.1(f) is referred to as the “4.9%
Limitation.”

    

    2.3.2  Termination of Right to

      remain current and effective such that the Investor shall be permitted to
      utilize the Prospectus therein to resell (a) all of the Commitment Shares,
      (b) all of the Fee Shares, (c) all of the Shares issued pursuant to all
      prior Put Notices, and (d) all of the Shares issuable pursuant to the
      applicable Put Notice, there shall exist no Material Facts or material
      non-public information that is not covered by the Prospectus (as
      supplemented or amended) and the Company shall have satisfied and shall be
      in compliance with any and all obligations pursuant to this Agreement and
      the Registration Rights Agreement. The Registration Statement is not
      subject to an Ineffective Period as defined in the Registration Rights
      Agreement, the prospectus included therein is current and deliverable, and
      to the Company’s knowledge there is no notice of any investigation or
      inquiry concerning any stop order with respect to the Registration
      Statement;

                No Knowledge of Events
      Which Would Suspend Registration.  The Company shall
      have no knowledge of any event that, in the Company’s opinion, is more
      likely than not to have the effect of causing any Registration Statement
      to be suspended or otherwise ineffective (which event is more likely than
      not to occur within the thirty Business Days following the date on which
      such Advance Put Notice and Put Notice is deemed
    delivered);

              

      

    

    

    
      
        	
              	
                (h)

              	
                No Material
      Notices. None of the following events shall have occurred and be
      continuing: (a) receipt of any request by the SEC or any other federal or
      state governmental authority for any additional information relating to
      the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement,
      or for any amendment of or supplement to the Registration Statement, the
      Prospectus, or any Prospectus Supplement; (b) the issuance by the SEC or
      any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order
      suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or prohibiting
      or suspending the use of the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement, or
      of the suspension of qualification or exemption from qualification of the
      securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or
      contemplated initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; or (c) the
      occurrence of any event or the existence of any condition or state of
      facts, which makes any statement of a material fact made in the
      Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement untrue
      or which requires the making of any additions to or changes to the
      statements then made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any
      Prospectus Supplement in order to state a material fact required by the
      Securities Act to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
      statements then made therein (in the case of the Prospectus or any
      Prospectus Supplement, in light of the circumstances under which they were
      made) not misleading, or which requires an amendment to the Registration
      Statement or a supplement to the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement
      to comply with the Securities Act or any other law (other than the
      transactions contemplated by the applicable Put Notice and the settlement
      thereof). The Company shall have no Knowledge of any event that could
      reasonably be expected to have the effect of causing the suspension of the
      effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the prohibition or
      suspension of the use of the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement in
      connection with the resale of the Registrable Securities by the
      Investor;

                Representations and
      Warranties True and Correct.  The
      representations and warranties of the Company in Section 5 hereof (except
      for Sections 5.11 and 5.13 and all but the first and last sentences of
      Section 5.12, which speak only as of the date of this Agreement) are true
      and correct as of the Put Date in all material respects as if made on such
      date, the Company has satisfied its obligations under Section 2.3 hereof
      and the conditions to Investor’s obligations set forth in this Section
      2.3.5 are satisfied as of such Closing, and the Company shall deliver a
      certificate, signed by an officer of the Company, to such effect to the
      Investor; 

              

      

    

    

    
      
        	
              	
                (j)

              	
                Authorization and
      Reservation of Shares.  The Company shall have authorized
      by all necessary corporate action and reserved for issuance a sufficient
      number of Common Shares for the purpose of enabling the Company to satisfy
      any obligation to issue Common Shares pursuant to any
  Put;

              

      

    

    

    
      
        	
              	
                (k)

              	
                Cap Amount Not
      Exceeded.  If the Aggregate
      Issued Shares after the Closing of the Put would exceed the Cap Amount,
      the Company shall have obtained the Stockholder 20% Approval as specified
      in Section 2.3.11, if the Company’s Common Stock is listed on a NASDAQ
      Market, and such approval is required by the rules of the
      NASDAQ;

              

      

    

    

    
      
        	
              	
                (l)

              	
                4.9% Limitation Not
      Exceeded. The aggregate
      number of Put Shares to be issued in the Put, when combined with the
      number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then beneficially owned by
      the Company, would not cause the Investor to exceed the 4.9% Limitation
      (as defined herein);

                Maximum Offering
      Amount Not Exceeded. The aggregate
      number of Put Shares to be issued in the Put, when combined with all Put
      Share issued in prior Puts, would not cause the Maximum Offering Amount to
      be exceeded;

                No Adverse Law, Rule,
      Regulation, or Pending Proceeding.  There is not then in
      effect any law, rule or regulation prohibiting or restricting the
      transactions contemplated hereby, or requiring any consent or approval
      which shall not have been obtained, nor is there any pending or threatened
      proceeding or investigation which may have the effect of prohibiting or
      adversely affecting any of the transactions contemplated by this
      Agreement;

                (o)

              	
                No Pending or
      Threatened Injunctions. No statute, rule, regulation, executive
      order, decree, ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered,
      promulgated or adopted by any court or governmental authority of competent
      jurisdiction that prohibits the transactions contemplated by this
      Agreement, and no actions, suits or proceedings shall be in progress,
      pending or threatened by any person (other than the Investor or any
      affiliate of the Investor), that seek to enjoin or prohibit the
      transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  For purposes of
      this paragraph (i), no proceeding shall be deemed pending or threatened
      unless one of the parties has received written or oral notification
      thereof prior to the applicable Put Closing Date;
  

              

      

    

    

    
      
        	
              	
                (p)

              	
                Put Shares DTC
      Eligible.  The Put Shares

      converted into electronic form;

                No Allegation of
      Section 5 Violation.  There has been no assertion by the
      SEC that there has been a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act
      caused by the integration of the private sale of common stock to the
      Investor and the public offering pursuant to the Registration Statement,
      and there have been no claims made by third parties against the Investor
      based on a such an alleged Section 5
violation;

              

      

    

    

    
      
        	
              	
                (r)

              	
                Compliance with
      Laws.  The Company shall have complied with all applicable
      federal, state and local governmental laws, rules, regulations and
      ordinances in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of
      this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party
      and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby,
      including, without limitation, the Company shall have obtained all permits
      and qualifications required by any applicable state securities or “blue
      sky” laws for the offer and sale of the Securities by the Company to the
      Investor and the subsequent resale of the Registrable Securities by the
      Investor (or shall have the availability of exemptions
      therefrom);

              No Material Adverse
      Effect. No condition, occurrence, state of facts or event
      constituting a Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred and be
      continuing;

            

    

     

    
      
        	
              	
                (t)

              	
                No Restrictive
      Legends. If requested by the Investor from and after the earlier of
      (x) the Effective Date, or (y) the date that the Commitment Shares and Fee
      Shares can be sold under Rule 144 without volume restrictions (the earlier
      of (x) and (y) is referred to in this Agreement as the “Liquidity Date”),
      the Company shall have either (i) issued and delivered (or caused to be
      issued and delivered) to the Investor certificates representing the
      Commitment Shares and the Fee Shares, respectively, that are free from all
      restrictive and other legends or (ii) caused the Company’s transfer agent
      to credit the Investor’s or its designee’s account at DTC through its

      represented by the certificate delivered by the Investor to the Company in
      accordance with Section 9.10(iv) of this
  Agreement.

                No Material Non-Public
      Information.  The Investor shall not be in possession of
      any material non-public information.  If the Company discovers
      or is notified of Material Facts or of the existence of material
      non-public information that is not included in the Prospectus or any
      Ineffective Period occurs, the Company shall not initiate a Put until the
      Prospectus is amended to include any material non-public information or
      Material Facts and the Company’s counsel provides in a Registration
      Opinion that no Material Facts or material non-public information exists
      that is not included in the
Prospectus.

    (a) a
number of Unlegended Share Certificates equal to the Intended Put Share Amount,
which shall be delivered by crediting the Investor’s or its designees’ account

Opinion.

    

    

    (a)  The Company shall have
caused to be delivered to the Investor, (i) whenever required by Section
2.3.7(b) or by Section 2.5.3, and (ii) on the date that is three (3) Business
Days prior to each Put Date (the “Registration Opinion Deadline”), an opinion of
the Company's independent counsel, in substantially the form of Exhibit G (the
“Registration Opinion”), addressed to the Investor stating, inter alia, that no
facts (“Material Facts”) have come to such counsel's attention that have caused
it to believe that the Registration Statement is subject to an Ineffective
Period or to believe that the Registration Statement, any Supplemental
Registration Statement (as each may be amended, if applicable), and any related
prospectuses, contain an untrue statement of material fact or omits a material
fact required to make the statements contained therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  If a
Registration Opinion cannot be delivered by the Company's independent counsel to
the Investor on the Registration Opinion Deadline due to the existence of
Material Facts or an Ineffective Period, the Company shall promptly notify the
Investor and as promptly as possible amend each of the Registration Statement
and any Supplemental Registration Statements, as applicable, and any related
prospectus or cause such Ineffective Period to terminate, as the case may be,
and deliver such Registration Opinion and updated prospectus as soon as possible
thereafter.  If at any time after a Put Notice shall have been
delivered to Investor but before the related Pricing Period End Date, the
Company acquires knowledge of such Material Facts or any Ineffective Period
occurs, the Company shall promptly notify the Investor and shall deliver a Put
Interruption Notice to the Investor pursuant to Section 2.3.4 by facsimile and
overnight courier by the end of that Business Day.  

    

    (b)        
(i)  the Company shall engage its independent auditors to perform the
procedures in accordance with the provisions of Statement on Auditing Standards
No. 71, as amended, as agreed to by the parties hereto, and reports thereon (the

each Put Date.

    

    (ii)  in the event that the
Investor shall have requested delivery of an Agreed Upon Procedures Report
pursuant to Section 2.4.3, the Company shall engage its independent auditors to
perform certain agreed upon procedures and report thereon as shall have been
reasonably requested by the Investor with respect to certain financial
information of the Company and the Company shall deliver to the Investor a copy
of such report addressed to the Investor.  In the event that the
report required by this Section 2.3.7(b) cannot be delivered by the Company's
independent auditors, the Company shall, if necessary, promptly revise the
Registration Statement and the Company shall not deliver a Put Notice until such
report is delivered.

    2.3.8   Investor’s Obligation and Right to
Purchase Shares.    Subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement, following the Investor's receipt of a validly delivered
Put Notice, the Investor shall be required to purchase (each a “Purchase”) from
the Company a number of Put Shares equal to the Put Share Amount, in the manner
described below.

    

    2.3.9   Mechanics of Put
Closing.  Each of the Company and the Investor shall deliver
all documents, instruments and writings required to be delivered by either of

Closing.  Subject to such delivery and the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in this Section 2, the closing of the purchase by the
Investor of Put Shares shall occur by 5:00 PM, New York City Time, on the date
which is five (5) Business Days following the applicable Pricing Period End Date
(the “Payment Due Date”) at the offices of Investor.  On each or
before each Payment Due Date, the Investor shall deliver to the Company, in the
manner specified in Section 7 below, the Put Dollar Amount to be paid for such
Put Shares, determined as aforesaid.  The closing (each a “Put
Closing”) for each Put shall occur on the date that (i) the Company has
delivered to the Investor all Required Put Documents, (ii)_each of the Put
Conditions have been met and (iii) the Investor has delivered to the Company
such Put Dollar Amount (each a “Put Closing Date”).

    

    2.3.10  Limitation on Short
Sales.  The Investor and its affiliates shall not engage in
short sales of the Company's Common Stock; provided, however, that the Investor
may enter into any short exempt sale or any short sale or other hedging or
similar arrangement it deems appropriate with respect to Put Shares after it
receives a Put Notice with respect to such Put Shares so long as such sales or
arrangements do not involve more than the number of such Put Shares specified in
the Put Notice.

    

    2.3.11  Cap Amount.  If the
Company becomes listed on a NASDAQ Market, then, unless the Company has obtained
the necessary approval (“Stockholder 20% Approval”) of its shareholders as
required under the Nasdaq 20% Rule or unless otherwise permitted by Nasdaq, in
no event shall the Aggregate Issued Shares exceed the maximum number of shares
of Common Stock (the “Cap Amount”) that the Company can, without stockholder
approval, so issue pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 4350(i)(1)(d)(i) (or any other
applicable Nasdaq Rules or any successor rule) (the “Nasdaq 20%
Rule”).

    

    2.3.12   Investment Agreement
Termination.   The Company may terminate (a “Company
Termination”) its right to initiate future Puts by providing written notice
(“Termination Notice”) to the Investor, by facsimile and overnight courier, at
any time other than during an Extended Put Period, provided that such
termination shall have no effect on the parties’ other rights and obligations
under this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, and the Transfer Agent
Instructions.  Notwithstanding the above, any Put Interruption Notice
occurring during an Extended Put Period is governed by Section
2.3.4.

    

    2.3.13  Return of Excess Common
Shares.  In the event that the number of Put Shares purchased
by the Investor in any Put pursuant to its obligations hereunder is less than
the Intended Put Share Amount, the Investor shall promptly return to the Company
any shares of Common Stock in the Investor’s possession that are not being
purchased by the Investor, unless the parties mutually agree for the Investor to
retain such excess Common Shares to apply to the next Put.

pursuant to the Registration Statement, any Supplemental Registration
Statement, or
amendments or supplements thereto or any blue sky, FINRA or other filing, all
financial and other records, all filings with the SEC, and all other corporate
documents and properties of the Company as may be reasonably necessary for the
purpose of such review, and cause the Company's officers, directors and
employees to supply all such information reasonably requested by the Investor or
any such representative, advisor or underwriter in connection with such
Registration Statement (including, without limitation, in response to all
questions and other inquiries reasonably made or submitted by any of them),
prior to and from time to time after the filing and effectiveness of the
Registration Statement for the sole purpose of enabling the Investor and such
representatives, advisors and underwriters and their respective accountants and
attorneys to conduct initial and ongoing due diligence with respect to the
Company and the accuracy of the Registration Statement.

    

    2.4.1 
Treatment of Nonpublic
Information.  Following the Liquidity Date, the Company shall
not disclose nonpublic information to the Investor or to its advisors or
representatives unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company
identifies such information as being nonpublic information and provides the
Investor and such advisors and representatives with the opportunity to accept or
refuse to accept such nonpublic information for review. The Company and Investor
agree to be bound by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement between them,
dated as of September 29, 2010.  The Company shall ensure that any
information disclosed by the Company to Investor in connection with the
Agreement shall cease to be material nonpublic information on or prior to the
Liquidity Date.

    

    Nothing
herein shall require the Company to disclose any information to the Investor or
its advisors or representatives that will constitute material nonpublic
information after the Liquidity Date, and the Company represents that it does
not disseminate material nonpublic information to any investors who purchase
stock in the Company in a public offering, to money managers or to securities
analysts, provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Company will, as hereinabove provided, immediately notify the
advisors and representatives of the Investor and, if any, underwriters, of any
event or the existence of any circumstance (without any obligation to disclose
the specific event or circumstance) of which it becomes aware, constituting
nonpublic information (whether or not requested of the Company specifically or
generally during the course of due diligence by and such persons or entities),
which, if not disclosed in the Prospectus included in the Registration
Statement, would cause such Prospectus to include a material misstatement or to
omit a material fact required to be stated therein in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading.

    
      
         

      

      
        24

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    2.4.2   Disclosure of Misstatements and
Omissions. The Investor's advisors
or representatives shall make complete disclosure to the Investor's counsel of
all events or circumstances constituting nonpublic information discovered by
such advisors or representatives in the course of their due diligence upon which
such advisors or representatives form the opinion that the Registration
Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material
fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or necessary to make
the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances in which
they were made, not misleading.  Upon receipt of such disclosure, the
Investor's counsel shall consult with the Company's independent counsel in order
to address the concern raised as to the existence of a material misstatement or
omission and to discuss appropriate disclosure with respect thereto; provided,
however, that such consultation shall not constitute the advice of the Company's
independent counsel to the Investor as to the accuracy of the Registration
Statement and related Prospectus. 

    

    2.4.3   Procedure if Material Facts are
Reasonably Believed to be Untrue or are Omitted.  In the event
after such consultation the Investor or the Investor's counsel reasonably
believes that the Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a
material fact or omits a material fact required to be stated in the Registration
Statement or necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, and the Company, after a
request from the Investor, has failed to promptly provide reasonable information
indicating that that the Registration Statement is in fact complete, accurate
and current, then 

    

    (a) the Company shall promptly file
with the SEC an amendment to the Registration Statement responsive to such
alleged untrue statement or omission and provide the Investor, as promptly as
practicable, with copies of the Registration Statement and related Prospectus,
as so amended, or

    

    (b) if the Company disputes the
existence of any such material misstatement or omission, (i) the Company's
independent counsel (who is a member of a law firm having at least 20 attorneys)
shall provide the Investor's counsel with a Registration Opinion, at the
Company’s expense, and (ii) in the event the dispute relates to the adequacy of
financial disclosure and the Investor shall reasonably request, the Company
shall promptly cause its independent auditors to provide to the Company a letter
(“Agreed Upon Procedures Report”) outlining the performance of such "agreed upon
procedures" as shall be reasonably requested by the Investor and the Company
shall promptly provide the Investor with a copy of such letter.

    

    2.5         
Legending of
Shares.  In the event that, at any time after unlegended shares
are issued to the Investor by the Company under this Agreement, the Registration
Statement becomes subject to an Ineffective Period, and such unlegended shares
may not at that time be resold by the Investor without volume limitations
pursuant to Rule 144, if so requested by the Company in writing, the Investor
shall promptly return such shares to the Company or its Transfer Agent to have
restrictive legends placed on the shares until such time as the Ineffective
Period ends or a Legend Removal Condition has otherwise been met.  In
the event that, at any time after unlegended shares are issued to the Investor
by the Company under this Agreement, any such shares are transferred by Investor
pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act other than Rule 144, the Investor shall promptly notify the Company thereof
and return such shares to the Company or its Transfer Agent to have restrictive
legends placed on the shares.

    3.2.2   Reliance on Own
Advisors.  Investor has relied completely on the advice of, or
has consulted with, Investor’s own personal tax, investment, legal or other
advisors and has not relied on the Company or any of its affiliates, officers,
directors, attorneys, accountants or any affiliates of any thereof and each
other person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing, within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Act for any tax or legal advice (other than reliance on
information in the Disclosure Documents as defined in Section 3.2.4 below and on
the Opinion of Counsel).  The foregoing, however, does not limit or
modify Investor’s right to rely upon covenants, representations and warranties
of the Company in this Agreement.

    

    3.2.3 Capability to
Evaluate.  Investor has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters so as to enable such Investor to utilize the

Documents”), and an independent investigation made by Investor and Investor’s

whatsoever to comment upon or correct any reports, analyses or other comments
made about the Company by any third parties, including, but not limited to,
analysts’ research reports or comments (collectively, “Third Party Reports”),

    3.2.5  Investment Experience; Fend for
Self.  Investor has substantial experience in investing in
securities and it has made investments in securities other than those of the
Company.  Investor acknowledges that Investor is able to fend for
Investor’s self in the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, that Investor
has the ability to bear the economic risk of Investor’s investment pursuant to
this Agreement and that Investor is an "Accredited Investor" by virtue of the
fact that Investor meets the investor qualification standards set forth in
Section 3.1 above.  Investor has not been organized for the purpose of
investing in securities of the Company, although such investment is consistent
with Investor’s purposes.

    

    3.3         Exempt Offering Under
Regulation D.

    

    3.3.1  No General
Solicitation.  The Investment Agreement was not offered to
Investor through, and Investor is not aware of, any form of general solicitation

article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or
similar media or broadcast over television or radio, and (ii) any seminar or
meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general
advertising.

    

    3.3.2  Restricted
Securities.  Investor understands that the Investment Agreement
is, the Common Stock issued at each Put Closing will be characterized as
"restricted securities" under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are
being acquired from the Company in a transaction exempt from the registration
requirements of the federal securities laws and that under such laws and
applicable regulations such securities may not be transferred or resold without
registration under the Act or pursuant to an exemption therefrom.  In
this connection, Investor represents that Investor is familiar with Rule 144
under the Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations
imposed thereby and by the Act.

    

    3.3.3  Disposition.  Investor
further agrees not to sell, transfer, assign, or pledge the Securities (except
for any bona fide pledge arrangement to the extent that such pledge does not
require registration under the Act or unless an exemption from such registration
is available and provided further that if such pledge is realized upon, any
transfer to the pledgee shall comply with the requirements set forth herein), or
to otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Securities unless and
until:

    

    (a)There is then in effect a
registration statement under the Act and any applicable state securities laws
covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance
with such registration statement and in compliance with applicable prospectus
delivery requirements; or

    
      
         

      

      
        27

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    (b)          
(i) Investor shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and
shall have furnished the Company with a statement of the circumstances
surrounding the proposed disposition to the extent relevant for determination of
the availability of an exemption from registration, and (ii) if reasonably
requested by the Company, Investor shall have furnished the Company with an
opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such
disposition will not require registration of the Securities under the Act or
state securities laws.  It is agreed that the Company will not require
the Investor to provide opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to
Rule 144 provided that Investor and Investor’s broker, if necessary, provide the
Company with the necessary representations and documents for counsel to the
Company to issue an opinion with respect to such transaction.

    

    The Investor is entering into this
Agreement for its own account and the Investor has no present arrangement or
intention to sell the security represented by this Agreement to or through any
person or entity, has no present arrangement (whether or not legally binding) to
sell the Common Stock to or through any person or entity and has no present
intention to sell such Common Stock to or through any person or entity;
provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the Investor does
not agree to hold the Common Stock for any minimum or other specific term and
reserves the right to dispose of the Common Stock at any time in accordance with
federal and state securities laws applicable to such disposition.

Representations, Warranties
and Covenants of the Company.  The Company hereby makes the
following representations and warranties to Investor (which shall be true at the
signing of this Agreement, and as of any such later date as specified hereunder)
and agrees with Investor that, except as set forth in the “Schedule of
Exceptions” attached hereto as Exhibit
I:

    

    5.1           Organization, Good Standing,
and Qualification.  The Company is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Nevada, USA and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its
business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted.  The
Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would, in the Company’s opinion,
have a material adverse effect on the business or properties of the Company and
its subsidiaries taken as a whole.  The Company is not the subject of
any pending, threatened or, to its knowledge, contemplated investigation or
administrative or legal proceeding (a “Proceeding”) by the Internal Revenue
Service, the taxing authorities of any state or local jurisdiction, or the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the FINRA, the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. or
any state securities commission, or any other governmental entity, which have
not been disclosed in the Disclosure Documents.  None of the disclosed
Proceedings, if any, will, in the Company’s opinion, have a material adverse
effect upon the Company. Each of the Company’s
subsidiaries, if any, the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of each,
and the percentage of the Company’s ownership of each is listed in Schedule 5.1
hereto.

    

    5.2          Corporate
Condition.  The Company's condition is, in all material
respects, as described in the Disclosure Documents (as further set forth in any
subsequently filed Disclosure Documents, if applicable), except for changes in
the ordinary course of business and normal year-end adjustments that are not, in
the aggregate, materially adverse to the Company.  Except for
continuing losses, there have been no material adverse changes to the Company’s
business, financial condition, or prospects from the dates of such Disclosure
Documents through the date of the Investment Commitment Closing.  The
financial statements as contained in the 10-K and 10-Q have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied
(except as otherwise permitted by Regulation S-X of the Exchange Act, or
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, as applicable), subject, in the case
of unaudited interim financial statements, to customary year end adjustments and
the absence of certain footnotes, and fairly present the financial condition of
the Company as of the dates of the balance sheets included therein and the
consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then
ended.  Without limiting the foregoing, there are no material
liabilities, contingent or actual, that are not disclosed in the Disclosure
Documents (other than liabilities incurred by the Company in the ordinary course
of its business, consistent with its past practice, after the period covered by
the Disclosure Documents).  The Company has paid all material taxes
that are due, except for taxes that it reasonably disputes.  There is
no material claim, litigation, or administrative proceeding pending or, to the
best of the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company, except as
disclosed in the Disclosure Documents.  This Agreement and the
Disclosure Documents do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and
do not omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or herein
necessary to make the statements contained therein or herein not misleading in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made.  No event
or circumstance exists relating to the Company which, under applicable law,
requires public disclosure but which has not been so publicly announced or
disclosed.

available to the Investor via EDGAR or otherwise true and complete copies of the

on the date of such amended or superseded filing), such Commission Document did
not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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 Registration Statement, on the date it is filed with the SEC, on

Closing Date, shall comply in all material respects with the requirements of the
Securities Act (including, without limitation, Rule 415 under the
Securities Act) and shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein not misleading, except that this

the Registration Statement made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information relating to the Investor furnished to the Company in writing by
or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein (which to the Company’s
Knowledge are not false or misleading). The Prospectus and each Prospectus
Supplement required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement or the Registration
Rights Agreement, when taken together, on its date, on each Put Date and on each
Put Closing Date, shall comply in all material respects with the requirements of
the Securities Act (including, without limitation, Rule 424(b) under
the Securities Act) and shall not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit 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, except that this representation and
warranty shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Prospectus or
any Prospectus Supplement made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information relating to the Investor furnished to the Company in writing by or
on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein (which to the Company’s
Knowledge are not false or misleading). Each Commission Document (other than the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement) to be filed
with or furnished to the SEC after the Commitment Closing Date and incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Prospectus
Supplement required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement or the Registration
Rights Agreement (including, without limitation, the Current Report), when such
document is filed with or furnished to the SEC and, if applicable, when such
document becomes effective, as the case may be, shall comply in all material
respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as
applicable, and other federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations
applicable to it, and shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit 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 Company has delivered or made available to
the Investor via EDGAR or otherwise true and complete copies of all comment
letters and substantive correspondence received by the Company from the SEC
relating to the Commission Documents filed with or furnished to the SEC as of
the Commitment Closing Date, together with all written responses of the Company
thereto. There are no outstanding or unresolved comments or undertakings in such
comment letters received by the Company from the SEC. The SEC has not issued any
stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration
statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act.

    (b) 
       The financial statements, together with the
related notes and schedules, of the Company included in the Commission Documents
comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable accounting
requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC and all
other applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto as may be
subject to any applicable out of period adjustments disclosed in the Commission
Documents. Such financial statements, together with the related notes and
schedules, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent

in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving

performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the Registration Rights
Agreement, or (b) violate the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws
or (c) violate any statute, rule or governmental regulation applicable to the

have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the
Exchange Act, nor has the Company received any notification that the SEC is
contemplating terminating such registration. The Company has not, in the 12
months preceding the Commitment Closing Date, received notice from any Trading
Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect

accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business), (b) all
guaranties, endorsements, indemnities and other contingent obligations in
respect of Indebtedness of others in excess of $100,000, whether or not the same
are or should be reflected in the Company’s balance sheet (or the notes
thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit
or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and
(c) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $100,000 due under
leases required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP.  There is no

Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Company has not
taken any steps, and does not currently expect to take any steps, to seek
protection pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar federal
or state bankruptcy law or law for the relief of debtors, nor does the Company
have any Knowledge that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings for
relief under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other federal or state

any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any
offers or sales of any of the Company’s securities or solicited any offers to

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

Agreements.  Except as set forth in the Commission Documents,
neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company is a party to any written

thereof, and neither the Company or any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the
Knowledge of the Company, any other contracting party thereto are in default
under any Material Agreement now in effect, the result of which would have a
Material Adverse Effect.  Except as set forth in the Disclosure Documents,
each of the Material Agreements is in full force and effect, and constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms
against the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and, to the Knowledge of the
Company, each other contracting party thereto, except as such enforceability may
be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or
affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by
other equitable principles of general application.

    5.25         Transactions With
Affiliates.  Except as set forth in the Disclosure Documents,

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 a substantial interest or is an officer, director,
trustee or partner.

    

            5.26         Application of Takeover

Status.  The Company is not, and as a result of the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the application

“controlled” by an “investment company,” within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

     

    5.28         Taxes.  The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has filed all necessary federal,
state and foreign income and franchise tax returns or has duly requested
extensions thereof, except for those the failure of which to file would not have
a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) has paid all federal, state, local and
foreign taxes due and payable for which it is liable, except to the extent that
any such taxes are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings,
except for such taxes the failure of which to pay would not have a Material
Adverse Effect, and (iii) does not have any tax deficiency or claims
outstanding or assessed or, to the Company’s Knowledge, proposed against it
which would have a Material Adverse Effect. 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 and its Subsidiaries know of no basis for any
such claim. The Company is not operated in such a manner as to qualify as a
passive foreign investment company, as defined in Section 1297 of the U.S.
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

     

    5.29         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 be unable 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 have a Material
Adverse Effect.

    

    5.30         U.S. Real Property Holding
Corporation. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is, or has
ever been, and so long as any of the Securities are held by the Investor, shall

respect to the Equity Line Transaction Documents and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby. The Company further acknowledges that the
Investor is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in
any similar capacity) with respect to the Equity Line Transaction Documents and
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and any advice given by the
Investor or any of its respective representatives or agents in connection with
the Equity Line Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby is merely incidental to the Investor's purchase of the Securities,
and is not being relied on by the Company. The Company further represents to the

Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Company and
its representatives.

Limitations on Put Amounts.  The Company understands and
acknowledges that the amounts available under this Investment Agreement are
limited, among other things, based upon the liquidity of the Company’s Common
Stock traded on its Principal Market.

    

    5.37         Dilution.  The number of
shares of Common Stock issuable as Put Shares may increase substantially in
certain circumstances, including, but not necessarily limited to, the
circumstance wherein the trading price of the Common Stock declines during the
period between the Effective Date and the end of the Commitment
Period.  The Company’s executive officers and directors fully
understand the nature of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
recognize that they have a potential dilutive effect.  The board of
directors of the Company has concluded, in its good faith business
judgment, that such issuance is in the best interests of the
Company.  The Company specifically acknowledges that, whenever the
Company elects to initiate a Put, its obligation to issue the Put Shares is
binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such
issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the
Company.  The Company acknowledges that the Investor may sell shares
of Common Stock during any Pricing Period, and may enter into a short exempt sale or any
short sale or other hedging or similar arrangement in accordance with
Section 2.3.10 during any Pricing Period, and that such sales, short sales or
hedging arrangements may serve to lower the Purchase Price thereby having a
potential dilutive effect on the Company’s Common Stock.

    5.38.        No Brokers.  No
brokers, finders or financial advisory fees or commissions shall be payable by
the Company or any Subsidiary (or any of their respective Affiliates) with
respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents.

    

    5.39         No Material Non-Public
Information.  The Company has not furnished to the Investor any
information concerning the Company that will constitute material nonpublic
information on or after the Liquidity Date.

    

    6.          
Additional Covenants of the
Company.

    

    6.1         
Independent
Auditors.  The Company shall, until at least the Termination
Date, maintain as its independent auditors an accounting firm authorized to
practice before the SEC.

    

    6.2         
Corporate Existence
and Taxes; Change in Corporate Entity.  The Company shall,
until at least the Termination Date, maintain its corporate existence in good
standing and, once it becomes a “Reporting Issuer” (defined as a Company which
files periodic reports under the Exchange Act), remain a Reporting Issuer and
shall pay all its taxes when due except for taxes which the Company
disputes.  Notwithstanding the terms of Section 9.2 below, the Company
may, at any time after the date hereof, enter into any merger, consolidation or
corporate reorganization of the Company with or into, or transfer all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company to, another entity only if the
resulting successor or acquiring entity in such transaction, if not the Company
(the “Surviving Entity”), (i) has Common Stock listed for trading on a Nasdaq
Market or on another national stock exchange and is a Reporting Issuer,
(ii) assumes by
written instrument the Company's obligations with respect to this Investment
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Transfer Agent Instructions
and the other agreements referred to herein, including but not limited to the
obligations to deliver to the Investor shares of Common Stock and/or securities
that Investor is entitled to receive pursuant to this Investment
Agreement.  

    

    6.3           Registration
Rights.  The Company will enter into a registration rights
agreement covering the resale of the Common Shares substantially in the form of
the Registration Rights Agreement attached as Exhibit
H.  During the period from the Effective Date through the
Termination Date, the Company shall use its best efforts to maintain the
continuous effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Securities
Act.

    6.4.          Blue Sky.  The
Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the
registration or qualification (or exemption from the registration or
qualification requirements) of the Securities for sale to the Investor pursuant
to the Transaction Documents and the subsequent resale of the Registrable
Securities by the Investor, in each case, under applicable state securities or
“blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in which such qualification is legally
required in order for the Securities to be issued to the Investor and resold by
the Investor into the Principal Market and such other jurisdictions within the
United States as Investor reasonably requests in writing, to keep each
registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the
period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement and to do any and all
other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such
jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration
Statement, and to cooperate with the Investor in connection therewith; provided that the Company
shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction
where it is not then so qualified or subject the Company to any material tax in
any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file a general consent
to service of process in any such jurisdiction.  Upon the Investor’s
request therefor, the Company shall provide evidence of any such action so taken
to the Investor from time to time following the Commitment Closing
Date.

    

    6.5         
Asset
Transfers.  The Company shall not (i) transfer, sell, convey or
otherwise dispose of any of its material assets to any subsidiary except for a
cash or cash equivalent consideration and for a proper business purpose or (ii)
transfer, sell, convey or otherwise dispose of any of its material assets to any
Affiliate, as defined below, during the Term of this Agreement.  For
purposes hereof, “Affiliate” shall mean any officer of the Company, director of
the Company or owner of twenty percent (20%) or more of the Common Stock or
other securities of the Company.

    

    6.6         
Capital Raising
Limitations and Rights of First Refusal. 

    

    6.6.1        Capital Raising
Limitations.  During the period from the date of this Agreement
until the date that is thirty (30) days after the Termination Date, the Company
shall not issue or sell, or agree to issue or sell Variable Equity Securities
(as defined below).  For purposes hereof,
the following shall be collectively referred to herein as, the “Equity

equity securities which are convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for,
or carry the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock or other equity
securities, or (iii) any securities of the Company pursuant to an equity line
structure or format similar in nature to this Offering.  For purposes
hereof, the following shall be collectively referred to herein as, the “Variable
Equity Securities”: any debt or Equity Securities which are convertible into,
exercisable or exchangeable for, or carry the right to receive additional shares
of Common Stock either (i) at any conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other
price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations
for Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity
security, or (ii) with a fixed conversion, exercise or exchange price that is
subject to being reset at some future date at any time after the initial
issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified
contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company
or the market for the Common Stock.

    

    6.6.2        Investor’s Right of First
Refusal. For any private capital raising transactions of Equity
Securities which close after the date hereof and on or prior to the date that is
sixty (60) days after the Termination Date of this Agreement, the Company agrees
to deliver to Investor, at least ten (10) days prior to the closing of such
transaction, written notice describing the proposed transaction, including the
terms and conditions thereof, and providing the Investor and its affiliates an
option (the “Right of First Refusal”) during the ten (10) day period following
delivery of such notice to purchase the securities being offered in such
transaction on the same terms as contemplated by such
transaction.

    6.6.3  Exceptions to Rights of
First Refusal.  Notwithstanding the above, the Rights of First
Refusal shall not apply to any transaction involving issuances of securities by
the Company to a company being acquired by the Company, as payment to such
company for such acquisition, in connection with a merger, consolidation,
acquisition or sale of assets, or in connection with any strategic partnership
or joint venture (the primary purpose of which is not to raise equity capital),
or in connection with the disposition or acquisition of a business, product or
license by the Company or any other transaction that is not for the primary
purpose of raising capital, or a primary underwritten offering of the Company’s
Common Stock.  The Rights of First Refusal also shall not apply to (a)
the issuance of securities upon exercise or conversion of the Company's options,
warrants or other convertible securities outstanding as of the date hereof, (b)
the grant of additional options or warrants, or the issuance of additional
securities, under any Company stock option or restricted stock plan for the
benefit of the Company's employees,  directors or eligible
consultants, or (c) the issuance of debt securities, with no equity feature,
incurred solely for working capital purposes.  

    

    6.7  Opinion of
Counsel.  Investor shall, concurrent with the Investment
Commitment Closing, receive an opinion letter from the Company’s legal counsel,
in the form of the Investment Commitment Opinion of Counsel attached as Exhibit C, or in such
form as agreed upon by the parties, and shall, concurrent with each Put Date,
receive an opinion letter from the Company’s legal counsel, in the form of the
Put Opinion of Counsel attached as Exhibit F or in such
form as agreed upon by the parties.

    

    6.8   Listing.  Subject
to the remainder of this Section 6.8, the Company shall ensure that, on or prior
to the Liquidity Date, its shares of Common Stock (including all Commitment
Shares, Fee Shares and Put Shares) are listed and available for trading (or
quotation, as the case may be) on an Approved Primary
Market.  Thereafter, the Company shall (i) use its best efforts to
continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on an Approved Primary
Market; and (ii) comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting,
filing and other obligations under the By-Laws or rules of FINRA and such
exchanges, as applicable.  The Company may maintain a dual listing of
its Common Stock on the TSX, TSX-V or the AIM (the “Approved Dual Listing
Markets”), provided that its Common Stock must also be listed on an Approved
Primary Exchange.

    6.9     The Company’s Instructions
to Transfer Agent.  The Company will instruct the Transfer
Agent of the Common Stock (the “Transfer Agent”), by delivering irrevocable
instructions in the form of Exhibit J hereto (the
“Transfer Agent Instructions”), to issue certificates, registered in the name of
each Investor or its nominee, for the Commitment Shares, for the Fee Shares and
for the Put Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Company
upon any exercise by the Company of a Put by the holder thereof.  Such
certificates shall not bear a Legend unless issuance with a Legend is permitted
by the terms of this Agreement and Legend removal is not permitted by Section
9.10(iv) hereof and the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to issue such
certificates without a Legend, and the Irrevocable Instructions to Transfer
Agent shall so indicate.  Nothing in this Section shall affect in any
way Investor’s obligations and agreement set forth in Sections 3.3.2 or 3.3.3
hereof to resell the Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement
and to deliver a prospectus in connection with such sale or in compliance with
an exemption from the registration requirements of applicable securities
laws.  If (a) an Investor provides the Company with an opinion of
counsel, which opinion of counsel shall be in form, substance and scope
reasonably acceptable to counsel for the Company, to the effect that the
Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an
exemption from registration or (b) an Investor transfers Securities, pursuant to
Rule 144, to a transferee which is an accredited investor, then the Company
shall permit the transfer; provided, that Investor and
the Company shall cooperate to ensure that a legend in substantially the form
set forth in Section 9.10(iii) be affixed to any certificates representing
shares sold pursuant to an exemption from registration other than Rule
144.  The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations
hereunder will cause irreparable harm to an Investor by vitiating the intent and
purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby.  Accordingly, the
Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations
under this Section 6.9 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach
or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 6.9, that
an Investor shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to
an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and
transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or
other security being required. 

    

    6.10   Initial Public Announcements
and Required Filings.  The
Company shall, at or before 8:30 a.m., New York City time, on the first
Trading Day after the Commitment Closing Date, issue a press release (the “Press
Release”) reasonably acceptable to the Investor disclosing the execution of this
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement by the Company and the Investor
and the issuance of the Commitment Shares and the Fee Shares to the Investor,
and briefly describing the transactions contemplated thereby. Any Press Release
or other public announcement relating to this financing shall be submitted to
the Investor for review at least two (2) Business Days prior to the planned
release.  The Company shall not disclose the Investor’s name in any
press release or other public announcement without the Investor’s prior written
approval.  The Company shall obtain the Investor’s written approval of
the Press Release prior to issuance by the Company.  

    

    At or
before 8:30 a.m., New York City time, on the second Trading Day following
the Commitment Closing Date, the Company shall file a Current Report on
Form 8-K describing all the material terms of the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents in the form required by the Exchange Act and
attaching copies of each of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement
and the Press Release as exhibits thereto (including all exhibits thereto, the
“Current Report”). The Company shall provide the Investor a
reasonable opportunity to comment on a draft of such Current Report and has
given due consideration to such comments.  From and after the Liquidity
Date, the Company shall have disclosed all material, nonpublic information
delivered to the Investor (or the Investor’s representatives or agents) by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents or representatives (if any) in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Investor covenants
that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are
publicly disclosed by the Company as described in this Section 6.10, the
Investor will maintain the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents
(including the existence and terms of the transactions), except that the
Investor may disclose the terms of such transactions to its financial,
accounting, legal and other advisors.  Not later than 15 calendar days
following the Commitment Closing Date, the Company shall file a Form D with
respect to the Securities in accordance with Regulation D and shall provide a
copy thereof to the Investor promptly after such filing. The Company shall
prepare and file with the SEC the Registration Statement (including the
prospectus therein) covering only the resale by the Investor of the Registrable
Securities in accordance with the Securities Act and the Registration Rights
Agreement.

    6.11   Change in Law or
Policy.  In the event of a change in law, or policy of the SEC,
as evidenced by a No-Action letter or other written statements of the SEC or
FINRA which causes the Investor or the Company to be unable to perform its
obligations hereunder, this Agreement shall be automatically terminated,
provided that notwithstanding any termination under this Section 6.11, the
Investor shall retain full ownership of the Commitment Shares, the Fee Shares
and the Cash Document Preparation Fee as partial consideration for its
commitment hereunder.

    

    6.12    Notice of Certain
Litigation.  Promptly following the commencement thereof, the
Company shall provide the Investor written notice and a description in
reasonable detail of any litigation or proceeding to which the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company is a party; in which the amount involved is $250,000
or more and which is not covered by insurance or in which injunctive or similar
relief is sought and shall simultaneously file a Form 8-K covering such
occurrence.

    

    6.13    Broker/Dealer. 
The Investor shall use one or more broker-dealers to effectuate all sales, if
any, of Securities that it may purchase or otherwise acquire from the Company
pursuant to the Transaction Documents, as applicable, which (or whom) shall be
unaffiliated with the Investor and not then currently engaged or used by the
Company (collectively, the “Broker-Dealer”). The Investor shall be solely
responsible for all fees and commissions of the Broker-Dealer, which shall not
exceed customary brokerage fees and commissions.

      hereby acknowledges and agrees, subject to the provisions of any
      applicable laws providing for the refund of subscription amounts submitted
      by Investor, that this Agreement is irrevocable and that Investor is not
      entitled to cancel, terminate or revoke this Agreement or any other
      agreements executed by such Investor and delivered pursuant hereto, and
      that this Agreement and such other agreements shall survive the death or
      disability of such Investor and shall be binding upon and inure to the
      benefit of the parties and their heirs, executors, administrators,
      successors, legal representatives and assigns.  If the
      Securities subscribed for are to be owned by more than one person, the
      obligations of all such owners under this Agreement shall be joint and
      several, and the agreements, representations, warranties and
      acknowledgments herein contained shall be deemed to be made by and be
      binding upon each such person and his heirs, executors, administrators,
      successors, legal representatives and
  assigns.  

              

      

    

    

    8.           Indemnification.

    

    In consideration of the Investor’s
execution and delivery of the Investment Agreement, the Registration Rights
Agreement and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the
Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall
defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Investor and all of its
stockholders, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors
and any of the foregoing person’s agents, members, partners or other
representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the
“Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits,
claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in
connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to
the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including
reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”),
incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a)
any material misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made
by the Company in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument
or documents contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any material breach of any
covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction
Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby
or thereby, or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim, derivative or otherwise,
by any stockholder of the Company based on a breach or alleged breach by the
Company or any of its officers or directors of their fiduciary or other
obligations to the stockholders of the Company.

    

    To the extent that the foregoing
undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company
shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of
the Indemnified Liabilities which it would be required to make if such foregoing
undertaking was enforceable which is permissible under applicable
law.

    

    Promptly after receipt by an
Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action pursuant to which
indemnification may be sought, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against the other party (hereinafter “Indemnitor”)
under this Section 8, deliver to the Indemnitor a written notice of the
commencement thereof and the Indemnitor shall have the right to participate in
and to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably selected by the
Indemnitor.  The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor
within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial
to the Indemnitor’s ability to defend such action, shall relieve the Indemnitor
of any liability to the Indemnified Party under this Section 8, but the omission
to so deliver written notice to the Indemnitor will not relieve it of any
liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party other than under this
Section 8 to the extent it is prejudicial.

    9.           Miscellaneous.

    

    9.1     Representations and
Warranties Survive the Closing; Severability.  Investor’s and
the Company’s representations and warranties shall survive the Investment Date
and any Put Closing contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding any due
diligence investigation made by or on behalf of the party seeking to rely
thereon.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or
is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or
void, or is altered by a term required by the Securities Exchange Commission to
be included in the Registration Statement, this Agreement shall continue in full
force and effect without said provision; provided that if the removal of such
provision materially changes the economic benefit of this Agreement to the
Investor, this Agreement shall terminate.

    

    9.2     Successors and
Assigns.  The Transaction Documents, including this Investment

Section 6.2 above.

    

    9.3     Execution in Counterparts
Permitted.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more

overnight or two (2) day courier, addressed to the parties at the addresses and/or facsimile
telephone number of the parties set forth at the end of this Agreement or such
other address as a party may request by notifying the other in writing;
provided, however, that in order for any notice to be effective as to the
Investor such notice shall be delivered and sent, as specified herein, to all
the addresses and
facsimile telephone numbers of the Investor set forth at the end of this
Agreement or such other address and/or facsimile telephone number as Investor
may request in writing.

    

    9.6     Expenses. Except as

Registration Rights Agreement, and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto
constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties
with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof, and no party shall be liable or
bound to any other party in any manner by any warranties, representations or
covenants, whether oral, written, or otherwise except as specifically set forth
herein or therein.  Except as expressly provided herein, neither this
Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated
other than by a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement
of any such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. The
Disclosure Documents and all exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated
by reference in, and made a part of, this Agreement as if set forth in full
herein.

    

    9.8     Headings.  The

construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.”  The

concurrently with the execution of this Agreement the Company shall pay, by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the
Investor’s counsel, a non-accountable and non-refundable Cash Document
Preparation Fee of $5,000, exclusive of disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses
(the “Cash Document Preparation Fee”), in connection with the preparation,
negotiation, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and legal due
diligence of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the Cash Document
Preparation Fee shall be non-refundable, regardless of whether any Put Shares
are issued by the Company or settled hereunder. The Company shall pay all U.S.
federal, state and local stamp and other similar transfer and other taxes and
duties levied in connection with issuance of the Securities pursuant
hereto.

    (ii)
 Commitment Shares.
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, in consideration
for the Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall
issue to the Investor a number of shares of restricted Common Stock (the
“Commitment Shares”) having a value equal to 2% of the Maximum Offering Amount
and a number of shares of restricted Common Stock (the “Fee Shares”) having a
value equal to $20,000, in each case based upon a deemed valuation per share
equal to 96% of the VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock for the 5 trading days
immediately preceding the issuance date of such shares.  Concurrently
with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver
irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions to its transfer agent to issue to the
Investor, not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Trading
Day immediately following the Commitment Closing Date, a certificate
representing the Commitment Shares and a certificate representing the Fee
Shares, each in the name of the Investor or its designee (in which case such
designee’s name shall have been provided to the Company prior to the Commitment
Closing Date and such designee shall have executed and delivered to the Company
an Investment Letter in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex 9.10), in
consideration for the Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement. Such
certificate shall be delivered to the Investor by overnight courier at its
address set forth in Section 9.12 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, all of the
Commitment Shares and Fee Shares shall be fully earned as of the Commitment
Closing Date regardless of whether any Puts are issued by the Company or settled
hereunder. Upon issuance, the Commitment Shares and the Fee Shares shall
constitute “restricted securities” as such term is defined in Rule
144(a)(3) under the Securities Act and, subject to the provisions of subsection
(iv) of this Section 9.10, the certificate(s) representing the Commitment Shares
and the Fee Shares shall bear the restrictive legend set forth below in
subsection (iii) of this Section 9.10. The Commitment Shares and the Fee Shares
shall constitute Registrable Securities and shall be included in the
Registration Statement in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights
Agreement.

    

    (iii)  Legends. The
certificate representing the Commitment Shares and the certificated representing
the Fee Shares, except as set forth below, shall each bear a restrictive legend
(“Legend”) in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be
placed against transfer of such stock certificate):

     

    THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND NEITHER
SUCH SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED
OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT
THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR
(2) AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION EXISTS AND EITHER (A) THE COMPANY
RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER OF SUCH SECURITIES, WHICH COUNSEL
AND OPINION ARE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE
OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED
WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS OR (B) SUCH SECURITIES ARE SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT
TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.

    
      
         

      

      
        49

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Investor
acknowledges and agrees that the Company was, at one time, a “shell company” as
defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act.  Pursuant to Rule 144(i)
under the Securities Act, securities issued by a current or former shell company
(such as the Securities) that otherwise meet the holding period and other
requirements of Rule 144 nevertheless cannot be sold in reliance on Rule 144
until one year after the date on which such company filed current “Form 10
information” (as defined in Rule 144(i)) with the SEC reflecting that it ceased
being a shell company (and that, in the Company’s case, such Form 10 Information
was filed on May 14, 2010), and provided that at the time of a proposed sale
pursuant to Rule 144, the issuer is subject to the reporting requirements of
section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has filed all reports and other
materials required to be filed by section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as
applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the
issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K
reports.  As a result, shares issued without legend may need to be
returned to have such legend affixed to them in the event that the Registration
Statement is not effective and the Company ceases to be subject to the reporting
requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or fails to file a
required report, subject to legend removal once a Legend Removal Condition has
again been met. Investor acknowledges the need to place such legend on any
shares transferred by Investor otherwise than pursuant to an effective
registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 and its agreement
to do so pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof, subject to legend removal once a Legend
Removal Condition has been met.

    

    Notwithstanding
the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, all Shares to be issued in respect
of any Put Notice delivered to the Investor pursuant to this Agreement shall be
issued to the Investor in accordance with Section 2.3 by crediting the
Investor’s or its designees’ account at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at
Custodian (DWAC) system, and all such Shares shall be transferable pursuant to
the effective Registration Statement (and no stop-transfer order shall be placed
against transfer thereof), and the Company shall not take any action or give
instructions to any transfer agent of the Company otherwise, except as otherwise
provided in Section 6.9.

     

    (iv)
 Removal
of Legend.  If either (a) the Registration Statement is
Effective, or (b) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel,
in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to counsel for the Company
(the reasonable cost of which shall be borne by the Investor), to the effect
that such shares can be sold or have been sold pursuant to Rule 144 (each, a
“Legend Removal Condition”), then the Company shall, no later than two Trading
Days following the delivery by the Investor to the Company or the Company’s
transfer agent (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate
representing  the Commitment Shares and a legended certificate
representing  the Fee Shares (each endorsed or with stock powers
attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the
reissuance and/or transfer, if applicable), as directed by the Investor, either:
(A) issue and deliver (or cause to be issued and delivered) to the Investor a
certificate(s) representing such Commitment Shares and Fee Shares that is free
from all restrictive and other legends or (B) cause the Company’s transfer agent
to credit the investor’s or its designee’s account at DTC through its
Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system with a number of shares of Common
Stock equal to the number of Commitment Shares and Fee Shares represented by the
certificate(s) so delivered by the Investor (the date by which such certificate
is required to be delivered to the investor or such credit is so required to be
made to the account of the Investor or its designee at DTC pursuant to the
foregoing is referred to herein as the “Required Delivery
Date”).

Governing Law, Consent to Jurisdiction, Waiver of Jury
Trial.

     

    (i)  The
Company and the Investor acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would
occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not
performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It
is accordingly agreed that either party shall be entitled to an injunction or
injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement by
the other party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof
(without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other
security being required), this being in addition to any other remedy to which
either party may be entitled by law or equity.

     

    (ii) Governing Law and
Jurisdiction.  All questions concerning the construction,
validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of Georgia without regard to the
principles of conflicts of law thereof.  Each party agrees that all
legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents
(whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors,
officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in
the state and federal courts sitting in the City of Atlanta, Georgia. Each party hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts sitting in the City of Atlanta, Georgia for the adjudication of
any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction
contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the
enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably 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 improper or is an inconvenient venue for such
proceeding.  If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to
enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party
in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its
reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the
investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or
proceeding.  THE
PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A TRIAL BY JURY
FOR ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT
OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR BY ANY OF THE
TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS.  

    

    9.12        Notices.  Any
notice, demand, request, waiver or other communication required or permitted to

    PERU

    

    Dear
Gentlemen:

    

    In connection with the undersigned’s
receipt of ________ shares (the “Securities”) of common stock, par value $0.001
per share (the “Common Stock”), of Li3 Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the
“Company”), as the designee of Investor (as defined below) pursuant to the
Investment Agreement, dated as of _________ __, 2010, between the Company and
Centurion Private Equity, LLC (“Investor”), the undersigned represents that the
undersigned is aware that the Securities have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and that the
undersigned has received the Securities for investment purposes and not with a
view to distribution or resale, or otherwise for transfer of the Securities or
any interest therein without an effective registration statement with respect
thereto or an opinion of counsel that registration is not required under the
Securities Act.

    

    The undersigned further represents and
warrants to the Company as follows:

    

    1.           
The undersigned is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D
of the Securities Act and/or the undersigned has such knowledge and experience
in financial, tax, and business matters so as to utilize information made
available to me in order to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment
decision with respect thereto.

    

    2.           
The undersigned has no contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any
person to sell, transfer or pledge to such person or anyone else the Securities
or any part thereof, and the undersigned has no present plans to enter into any
such contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement.

    

    3.           
The undersigned will not attempt to dispose of any Securities or any interest
therein, unless and until the Company shall have determined to its satisfaction
that the proposed disposition does not violate the registration requirements of
the Securities Act; the undersigned understands that the Company may require an
opinion of counsel, satisfactory in form and substance to the foregoing effect
before permitting a transfer.

    

    4.           
The undersigned understands that there is no assurance that there will be a
public market for any of the Securities and that the undersigned recognizes, in
light of these considerations and those set forth above, that it may not be
possible for the undersigned to liquidate such securities readily, or at all,
and that the undersigned may not be able to dispose of them for a lengthy period
of time, if at all.

    
      
         

      

      
        57

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    5.           
The undersigned acknowledges and understands that the certificate(s)
representing the Securities to be issued to the undersigned may bear the
following, or similar, legend:

    

    THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS,
AND NEITHER SUCH SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD,
PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT
WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS, OR (2) AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION EXISTS AND THE
COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER OF SUCH SECURITIES, WHICH
COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE
OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED
WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS.

    

    6.           
The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Company was, at one time, a
“shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange
Act.  Pursuant to Rule 144(i) under the Securities Act, securities
issued by a current or former shell company (such as the Securities) that
otherwise meet the holding period and other requirements of Rule 144
nevertheless cannot be sold in reliance on Rule 144 until one year after the
date on which such company filed current “Form 10 information” (as defined in
Rule 144(i)) with the SEC reflecting that it ceased being a shell company (and
that, in the Company’s case, such Form 10 Information was filed on May 14,
2010), and provided that at the time of a proposed sale pursuant to Rule 144,
the issuer is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act and has filed all reports and other materials required to be
filed by section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the
preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to
file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports.  As a
result, the restrictive legends on certificates for the Securities set forth
above cannot be removed except in connection with an actual sale meeting the
foregoing requirements.

      truly yours,

    a. MANDATORY REGISTRATION.
Following the Investment Commitment Closing pursuant to the Investment
Agreement, the Company shall prepare, and, on or prior to the Initial
Registration Filing Deadline (as defined above), file with the Commission a
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (or, if Form S-1 is not then available, on
such form of Registration Statement as is then available to effect a
registration of the Registrable Securities, subject to the consent of the
Holder, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld)(the “Initial Registration
Statement”) covering the resale of the Registrable Securities which
Registration Statement, to the extent allowable under the 1933 Act and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), shall state that
such Registration Statement also covers such indeterminate number of additional
shares of Common Stock as may become issuable to prevent dilution resulting from
stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions and shall contain a plan
of distribution reasonably acceptable to the Holder.  The number of
shares of Common Stock initially included in such Initial Registration Statement
shall be no less than the Initial Registration Minimum.  If any
Registration Statement covers less than the total number of Registrable
Securities, a “Registration
Shortfall” shall be said to have occurred.

    
      
         

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    b.  SEC SHARE
REDUCTION. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company is advised by
the staff of the Commission in a written comment letter or otherwise that the
Staff or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration
Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of
securities that does not permit such Registration Statement to become effective
and be used for resales by the Investor on a delayed or continuous basis under
Rule 415 at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices)(or as
otherwise may be acceptable to the Investor), because of the number of shares
sought to be included in the Registration Statement, then the Company may reduce
(an “SEC Share
Reduction”) the number of shares covered by such Registration Statement
to the maximum number which would still enable the Staff and the SEC to allow
the Company to conduct such offering in accordance with the provisions of Rule
415 and to permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used as
aforesaid.  In the event of an SEC Share Reduction, (i) the inclusion
of the Commitment Shares and the Fee Shares in such initial Registration
Statement shall take precedence over any Put Shares and shall not be cut back or
removed from such Registration Statement until any Put Shares are cut back and
removed from such Registration Statement.

      

    c.  MISC.   The
Company shall, as early as practicable on the Trading Day after the effective
date of such Registration Statement, file a final Prospectus with the Commission
as required by Rule 424.  The Company acknowledges that the number of
shares initially included in each Registration Statement represents a good faith
estimate of the maximum number of Put Shares to be issued in addition to the
Commitment Shares and Fee Shares, and shall be amended if not
sufficient.  Each Registration Statement (and each amendment or
supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof)
shall be provided to (and subject to the approval of) the Investor and its
counsel prior to its filing or other submission.

    

    d.  PIGGY-BACK
REGISTRATIONS.  If at any time prior to the expiration of the
Registration Period (as hereinafter defined) the Company shall determine to file
with the Commission a Registration Statement relating to an offering for its own
account or the account of others under the 1933 Act of any of its equity
securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or their then equivalents
relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any
acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in
connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans), the Company shall
send to Investor written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen
(15) days after the effective date of such notice, the Investor shall so request
in writing, the Company shall include in such Registration Statement all or any
part of the Registrable Securities which are not then registered for resale
pursuant to a current and effective Registration Statement, and which the
Investor requests to be registered, except that if, (i) inclusion of such shares
would result in the offering not being Rule 415 Eligible, or (ii) in connection
with any underwritten public offering for the account of the Company, the
managing underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation on the number of
shares of Common Stock which may be included in the Registration Statement
because, in such underwriter(s)' judgment, marketing or other factors dictate
such limitation is necessary to facilitate public distribution, then the Company
shall be obligated to include in such Registration Statement only such limited
portion of the Registrable Securities with respect to which the Investor has
requested inclusion hereunder (i) as would enable the offering to be Rule 415
Eligible or (ii) as the underwriter shall permit;

    
      
         

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Company shall not exclude any Registrable Securities unless the Company has
first excluded all outstanding securities, the holders of which are not entitled
by contract to inclusion of such securities in such Registration Statement or
are not entitled to pro rata inclusion with the Registrable Securities;
and

    

    PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER,
that, after giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso, any exclusion of
Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata with holders of other securities
having the contractual right to include such securities in the Registration
Statement other than holders of securities entitled to inclusion of their
securities in such Registration Statement by reason of demand registration
rights. No right to registration of Registrable Securities under this Section
2(d) shall be construed to limit any registration required under Sections 2(a)
or 3 hereof.  If an offering in connection with which the Investor is
entitled to registration under this Section 2(d) is an underwritten offering,
then the Investor shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, offer and sell
such Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering using the same
underwriter or underwriters and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on
the same terms and conditions as other shares of Common Stock included in such
underwritten offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
herein, the registration rights of the Investor pursuant to this Section 2(d)
shall only be available in the event the Company fails to timely file, obtain
effectiveness or maintain effectiveness of any Registration Statement to be
filed pursuant to Section 2(a) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
and shall terminate and be of no further force and effect once the Company
satisfies its obligations under this Agreement.

    

    3.  OBLIGATIONS OF THE
COMPANY.  In connection with the registration of the
Registrable Securities, the Company shall have the following
obligations:

    

    a.  The Company shall
prepare promptly, and file with the Commission as soon as practicable after the
date of the Closing under the Investment Agreement (the "Closing Date") (but no later
than the Filing Deadline), Registration Statements with respect to the number of
Registrable Securities provided in Section 2(a), and thereafter use its best
efforts to cause each such Registration Statement relating to Registrable
Securities to become effective as soon as possible after such filing, but in any
event shall cause each such Registration Statement relating to Registrable
Securities to become effective no later than the Effectiveness Deadline, and,
subject to any Allowed Delay, the Company shall keep the Registration Statement
current and effective (and the prospectus contained therein available for use)
pursuant to Rule 415 for resales by the Investor on a delayed or continuous
basis at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices) at all times until
such date as is the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the Registrable
Securities for such Registration Statement have been sold and (ii) the date on
which all of the Registrable Securities for such Registration Statement (as
determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to
such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Company's transfer agent and the
affected Holder) may be immediately sold to the public without registration or
restriction (including without limitation as to volume by each holder thereof),
pursuant to Rule 144 and without the need for current public information as
required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable)
(the "Registration
Period").  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, the Company shall ensure that, when filed and at all times
while effective, each Registration Statement (including, without limitation, all
amendments and supplements thereto) and the prospectus (including, without
limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) used in connection with such
Registration Statement (1) shall not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or
necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of prospectuses, in the
light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading and
(2) will disclose (whether directly or through incorporation by reference
to other SEC filings to the extent permitted) all material information regarding
the Company and its securities.

    
      
         

      

      
        6

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    b.  The Company shall prepare
and file with the Commission such amendments (including post-effective
amendments) and supplements (collectively, “Registration Supplements”) to
each Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the
Registration Statements, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to
Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep
the Registration Statements current and effective at all times during the
Registration Period and as required by applicable securities regulations, and
during such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to
the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the
Registration Statements until such time as all of such Registrable Securities
have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by
the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in the Registration Statements. In
the case of amendments and supplements to any Registration Statement which are
required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation,
pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company
filing a report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K or any analogous report
under the 1934 Act,
the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into such
Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or
supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the 1934 Act report is filed
which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such
Registration Statement. The Company consents to the use of the prospectus
(including, without limitation, any supplement thereto) included in each
Registration Statement in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act
and with the securities or “blue sky” laws of the jurisdictions in which the
Registrable Securities may be sold by the Investor, in connection with the
resale of the Registrable Securities and for such period of time thereafter as
such prospectus (including, without limitation, any supplement thereto) (or in
lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the
Securities Act) is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection
with resales of Registrable Securities.

    
      
         

      

      
        7

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    c. In the
event that, whether due to a Registration Shortfall or an SEC Share Reduction or
otherwise, the Initial Registration Statement or any Additional Registration
does not initially cover, or at any time does not cover, the resale of all
Registrable Securities  (the date of each of which is referred to as a
“Registration Trigger
Date”), or in the event that on any Trading Day (as defined in the
Investment Agreement) (each such Trading Day is also referred to as
a  "Registration
Trigger Date") the number of shares available under a Registration
Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement is otherwise insufficient to cover
all of the Registrable Securities issued or issuable pursuant to the Transaction
Documents, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement, or file a new
Registration Statement (on the short form available therefore, if applicable),
or both (each, an “Additional
Registration Statement”), so as to cover at least 100% of the total
number of Registrable Securities so issued or issuable as of the Registration
Trigger Date (subject to an SEC Share Reduction, if applicable).  The
Company shall prepare and file each Additional Registration Statement as soon as
practicable following any Registration Trigger Date, but not later than the date
that is sixty (60) days following the applicable Registration Trigger Date (the
“Additional Registration Filing
Deadline”) until such time as all Registrable Securities have been
included in Registration Statements that have been declared effective and the
prospectus contained therein is available for use by the Investor, provided
that, if Cutback Shares are required to be included in the Additional
Registration Statement, the “Additional Registration Filing
Deadline” shall mean the later of (i) the date that is sixty (60) days
after the date substantially all (as such term is then interpreted by the
Commission) of the Registrable Securities registered under the immediately
preceding Registration Statement are sold and (ii) the date that is six (6)
months following the date of effectiveness of the most recently effective
Registration Statement or Additional Registration Statement filed
hereunder.  The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such
amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as
practicable following the filing thereof, but in any event the Company shall
cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective by
the 90th calendar day following the date on which an additional Registration
Statement is required to be filed hereunder (or the 120th calendar day after
such date in the event that such Registration Statement is subject to review by
the SEC)(the “Additional
Registration Effectiveness Deadline”) or as promptly as practicable in
the event the Company is required to increase its authorized
shares.

    

    d.  The Company shall furnish
to the Investor and its legal counsel (i) promptly after the same is prepared
and publicly distributed, filed with the Commission, or received by the Company,
one copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each
preliminary prospectus and prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto,
and, in the case of the Registration Statement referred to in Section 2(a), each
letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the Commission or the staff of
the Commission, and each item of correspondence from the Commission or the staff
of the Commission, in each case relating to such Registration Statement (other
than any portion of any thereof which contains information for which the Company
has sought confidential treatment), and (ii) such number of copies of a
prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and
supplements thereto and such other documents as the Investor may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities
owned by the Investor. The Company will immediately notify the Investor in
writing of the effectiveness of each Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment. The Company will promptly respond to any and all
comments received from the Commission, with a view towards causing each
Registration Statement or any amendment thereto to be declared effective by the
Commission as soon as practicable and shall file an acceleration request as soon
as practicable, but no later than five (5) business days (the "Acceleration Request
Deadline") following the resolution or clearance of all Commission
comments or, if applicable, following notification by the Commission that any
such Registration Statement or any amendment thereto will not be subject to
review.

    
      
         

      

      
        8

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    e.  The Company shall use
reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities
covered by the Registration Statements under such other securities or "blue sky"
laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Investor shall reasonably
request, (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;

    

    f.    Within
one (1) Business Day after each Registration Statement which covers
Registrable Securities is declared 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 (“Notice of
Effectiveness of Registration Statement”) attached hereto as Exhibit A.

    

    g.  As promptly as
practicable after becoming aware of such event, the Company shall notify the
Investor of the happening of any event, of which the Company has knowledge, 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 not misleading, and use its best efforts to promptly, but in any event
within two (2) business days of such event (the “Registration Supplement
Deadline”), prepare and file a supplement or amendment to any
Registration Statement (also, a “Registration Supplement”) to
correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver such number of copies of
such supplement or amendment and the related prospectus supplement to the
Investor as the Investor may reasonably request; provided that, for not more
than ten (10) consecutive days (or a total of not more than twenty (20) days in
any twelve (12) month period), the Company may delay the disclosure of material
non-public information concerning the Company (as well as prospectus or
Registration Statement updating) the disclosure of which at the time is not, in
the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company (an
"Allowed Delay");
provided, further, that the Company shall promptly (i) notify the Investor in
writing of the existence of (but in no event, without the prior written consent
of the Investor, shall the Company disclose to the Investor any of the facts or
circumstances regarding) material non-public information giving rise to an
Allowed Delay and (ii) advise the Investor in writing to cease all sales under
such Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay, provided the
above actions are consistent with the requirements of the 1933 Act and/or 1934
Act or other applicable law. Upon expiration of the Allowed Delay, the Company
shall again be bound by the first sentence of this Section 3(g) with respect to
the information giving rise thereto.

    

    h.  The Company shall use its
best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of
effectiveness of any Registration Statement, and, if such an order is issued, to
obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible moment and to
notify the Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold (or, in the
event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance of
such order and the resolution thereof.

    

    i.  The Company shall permit
a single firm of counsel designated by the Investor to review such Registration
Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (as well as all requests
for acceleration or effectiveness thereof), at Investor’s own cost, a reasonable
period of time prior to their filing with the Commission (not less than three
(3) business days but not more than ten (10) business days) and not file any
document in a form to which such counsel reasonably objects and will not request
acceleration of such Registration Statement without prior notice to such
counsel.

    
      
         

      

      
        9

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    j.  The Company shall hold in
confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning the Investor
provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary
to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such
information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any
Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered
pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or governmental body of
competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally
available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any
other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure
of such information concerning the Investor is sought in or by a court or
governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt
notice to the Investor prior to making such disclosure, and allow the Investor,
at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to
obtain a protective order for, such information.

    

    k.  If the Company becomes
eligible for listing on a national securities exchange, the Company shall use
its best efforts to (i) cause all the Registrable Securities covered by the
Registration Statement to be listed on each national 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) to the extent the securities of the
same class or series are not then listed on a national securities exchange,
secure the designation and quotation, of all the Registrable Securities covered
by the Registration Statement on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or, if not
eligible for the or the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the Nasdaq Global Market
or, if not eligible for the Nasdaq Global Market, on the Over the Counter
electronic bulletin board and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
to arrange for at least two market makers to register with FINRA as such with
respect to such Registrable Securities.

    

    l.  The Company shall provide
a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single entity, for the
Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the Registration
Statement.

    

    m.  The Company shall
cooperate with the Investor who holds Registrable Securities being offered and
the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends)
representing Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to such Registration
Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts,
as the case may be, as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or the
Investor may reasonably request and registered in such names as the managing
underwriter or underwriters, if any, or the Investor may request, and, within
five (5) business days after a Registration Statement which includes Registrable
Securities is ordered effective by the Commission, the Company shall deliver,
and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver, to the
transfer agent for the Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investor) an
appropriate instruction and an opinion of such counsel in the form required by
the transfer agent in order to issue the Registrable Securities free of
restrictive legends.

    
      
         

      

      
        10

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    n.  At the request of the
Holder, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments
(including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration
Statement and any prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement
as may be necessary in order to change the plan of distribution set forth in
such Registration Statement, provided that if such change is not legally
necessary in order for the Investors to timely sell their Registrable
Securities, the Company shall not be required to effect such amendments if they
will  impose any additional requirements, including costs, on the
Company.

    

    o.  The Company shall take
all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by
the Investor of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration
Statement.

    

    p.  The
Company shall comply with all applicable laws related to a Registration
Statement and offering and sale of securities and all applicable rules and
regulations of governmental authorities in connection therewith (including
without limitation the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated by the Commission).

    

    q.  Further Registration
Statements. Except for a registration statement filed on behalf of the
Investor pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement, and except for an
underwritten public offering, the Company will not file any registration
statements or amend (in such a manner as to increase the number of shares
registered) any already filed registration statement with the Commission or with
state regulatory authorities without the consent of the Investor until the
expiration of the "Exclusion
Period," which shall be defined as the sooner of (i) the date that the
Registration Statement shall have been current and available for use in
connection with the resale of the Registrable Securities for a period of 180
days, or (ii) until all the Shares have been resold or transferred by the
Subscribers pursuant to the Registration Statement or are eligible for immediate
unrestricted resale pursuant to Rule 144, without volume
limitations.

    

    r.  No Piggyback On
Registrations.  Except for legally required amendments or
supplements to the existing registration statement, neither the Company nor any
of its security holders (other than the Holder in such capacity pursuant hereto)
may include securities of the Company in a Registration Statement (including but
not limited to any Registration Statement under Section 2(a) hereof or any
amendment or supplement thereto under Section 3(b) or 3(g) hereof) or an
Additional Registration Statement, other than the Registrable Securities, and
the Company shall not during the Registration Period enter into any agreement
providing any such right to any of its security holders.  In addition,
the Company shall not offer any securities for its own account or the account of
others in any Registration Statement under Section 2(a) hereof or any amendment
or supplement thereto under Section 3(b) hereof without the consent of the
Holder.

    

    4.  REGISTRATION
FAILURE.   If:

    

    (i) a
Registration Statement registering for resale all of the Initial Registration
Minimum is not filed by the Initial Registration Filing Deadline or is not
declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Deadline of the
Initial Registration, or

    

    (ii) the
Company files the Initial Registration Statement without affording the Holder
the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3(i)
herein, or

    
      
         

      

      
        11

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    (iii) the
Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration of a
Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated by the Commission
pursuant to the Securities Act, within five Trading Days of the date that the
Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the
Commission that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not
be subject to further review, or

    

    (iv)
prior to the effective date of a Registration Statement, the Company fails to
file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made
by the Commission in respect of such Registration Statement within 10 Trading
Days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the Commission that such
amendment is required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared
effective, or

    

    (v) after
the effective date of a Registration Statement, such Registration Statement
ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable
Securities included in such Registration Statement, or the Holder is otherwise
not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable
Securities, for more than 10 consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate
of 20 calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any
12-month period, or

    

    (vi) any
Additional Registration Statement required to be filed hereunder is not filed by
the applicable Additional Registration Filing Deadline or it is not declared
effective by the applicable Additional Registration Effectiveness Deadline,
or

    

    (vii) any
Registration Supplement required to be filed hereunder is not filed by the
applicable Registration Supplement Deadline,

    

    (any such
failure or breach in (i) – (vii) above being referred to as a “Registration Failure,” and
the date of each such failure being referred to as a “Registration Failure Date”),
then, in addition to any other rights the Holder may have hereunder or under
applicable law, on each such Registration Failure Date and on each monthly
anniversary of each such Registration Failure Date (if the applicable
Registration Failure shall not have been cured by such date) until the
applicable Registration Failure is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder
an amount (“Registration
Failure Liquidated Damages”) in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty, equal to 2% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder
pursuant to the Investment Agreement for any unregistered Registrable Securities
then held by such Holder.

    

    Notwithstanding (i) – (vii) above, the
Company shall not be liable for Registration Failure Liquidated Damages if (1)
the Company makes all filings as and when required by this Agreement, (2) the
Company responds to any comments from the SEC regarding a Registration Statement
within ten (10) Trading Days of the date of receipt of such comments, and (3)
uses its best efforts to have the subject Registration Statement declared
effective for the number of shares required hereunder as quickly as reasonably
possible.  Registration Failure Liquidated Damages shall be due and
payable by the fifth (5th) day of
the calendar month in which they accrue.  If the Company fails to pay
any liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within five (5) days
after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 18%
per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by
applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such liquidated
damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in
full. The liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily
pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of a Registration
Failure.

    5.  OBLIGATIONS OF THE
INVESTOR.  In connection with the registration of the
Registrable Securities, the Investor shall have the following
obligations:

    

    a.  It shall be a condition
precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration
pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of the
Investor that 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. At least three (3) business days prior to the first
anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall notify
the Investor of the information the Company requires from each
Investor.

    

    b. The Investor, by the Investor's
acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company
as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and
filing of the Registration Statements hereunder, unless the Investor has
notified the Company in writing of the Investor's election to exclude all of the
Investor's Registrable Securities from the Registration Statements.

    

    c. In the event of an underwritten
offering pursuant to Section 2(d) in which any Registrable Securities are to be
included, the Investor agrees to enter into and perform the Investor's
obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form,
including, without limitation, customary indemnification and contribution
obligations, with the managing underwriter of such offering and take such other
actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the
disposition of the Registrable Securities, unless the Investor has notified the
Company in writing of the Investor's election to exclude all of the Investor's
Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

    

    d. The Investor agrees that, upon
receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind
described in Section 3(g), the Investor will immediately discontinue disposition
of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such
Registrable Securities until the Investor's receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(g) and, if so
directed by the Company, the Investor shall deliver to the Company (at the
expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of
destruction) all copies in the Investor's possession, of the prospectus covering
such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such
notice.

    

    e.  No Investor may
participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless the Investor (i)
agrees to sell the Investor's Registrable Securities on the basis provided in
any underwriting arrangements in usual and customary form entered into by the
Company, (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney,
indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required
under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, and (iii) agrees to pay its
pro rata share of all underwriting discounts and commissions and any expenses in
excess of those payable by the Company pursuant to Section 6

    f. If so requested by the Company,

    6.  EXPENSES OF
REGISTRATION.  All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting
discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all
registration, listing and qualification fees, printers and accounting fees, the
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be borne by the
Company.

    

    7.  INDEMNIFICATION.  In
the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement
under this Agreement:

    

    a.  To the extent permitted
by law, the Company will indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) the Investor,
(ii) the directors, officers, partners, managers, members, employees, agents and
each person who controls any Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the
1934 Act, if any, (iii) any underwriter (as defined in the 1933 Act) for the
Investor in connection with an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2(d)
hereof, and (iv) the directors, officers, partners, employees and each person
who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934
Act, if any (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against
any joint or several losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses
(collectively, together with actions, proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory
or self-regulatory organization, whether commenced or threatened, in respect
thereof, "Claims") to
which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims arise out of or are
based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact in a Registration Statement or the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used
prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the
final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto with the Commission) 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; or (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 (the matters in the
foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, "Violations"). The Company
shall reimburse the Indemnified Person, promptly as such expenses are incurred
and are due and payable, for any reasonable 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 7(a): (i) shall not apply to
a Claim arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs solely due to the
inclusion by the Company in a Registration Statement of false or misleading
information about the Investor, where such information was furnished in writing
to the Company by the Investor for the purpose of inclusion in such Registration
Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (ii) 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; and (iii) with respect to any preliminary prospectus,
shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Person if the untrue statement
or omission of material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was
corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented,
such corrected prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to
Section 3 hereof, 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. 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
10.

    
      
         

      

      
        14

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    b.  Promptly after receipt by
an Indemnified Person under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any
action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person shall, if
Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any the Company under this
Section 7, deliver to the Company a written notice of the commencement thereof,
and the Company shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the
Company so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel
mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Indemnified Person, as the case may
be.

    

    PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that an
Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees
and expenses to be paid by the Company, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel
retained by the Company, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified
Person and the Company would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party
represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Company shall pay for only
one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons, and such legal counsel
shall be selected by Investor and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company,
if the Investor is entitled to indemnification hereunder.  The failure
to deliver written notice to the Company within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Company of any liability
to the Indemnified Person under this Section 7, except to the extent that the
Company is actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The
indemnification required by this Section 7 shall be made by periodic payments of
the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such
expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and
payable.

    

    c. To the extent permitted by law, but
in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Investor’s Subscription Amount (as
defined in the Investment Agreement) the Investor will indemnify, hold harmless
and defend (i) the Company, and (ii) the directors, officers, partners,
managers, members, employees, or agents of the Company, if any (each,
a  "Company
Indemnified Person"), against any joint or several losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses (collectively, together with actions,
proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory or self-regulatory organization,
whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof, "Claims") to which any of them
may become subject insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon a Claim
arising out of or based upon 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, which occurs due to the inclusion by the
Company in a Registration Statement of false or misleading information about the
Investor, where such information was furnished in writing to the Company by the
Investor for the purpose of inclusion in such Registration
Statement.

    
      
         

      

      
        15

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    8.  CONTRIBUTION.  To
the extent any indemnification by the Company is prohibited or limited by law,
the Company agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts
for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 7 to the fullest extent
permitted by law, based upon a comparative fault standard.

    

    9.  REPORTS UNDER THE 1934
ACT.  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 Commission that may at any time permit the Investor to sell
securities of the Company to the public without registration ("Rule 144"), the Company
agrees to:

    

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

    

    b. file with the Commission 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
(it being understood that nothing herein shall limit the Company's obligations
under Section 4(c) of the Investment Agreement) 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 written
request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the
reporting requirements 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 Investors to sell such securities
pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

    

    10.  ASSIGNMENT OF
REGISTRATION RIGHTS.  The rights under this Agreement shall be
automatically assignable by the Investors to any transferee of all or any
portion of Registrable Securities if: (i) the Investor agrees in writing with
the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement
is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (ii)
the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment,
furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or
assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights
are being transferred or assigned, (iii) following such transfer or assignment,
the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is
restricted under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, (iv) at or
before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause
(ii) of this sentence, the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the
Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein, and (v) such
transfer shall have been made in  accordance with the applicable
requirements of the Investment Agreement.  In the event that the
Investor transfers all or any portion of its Registrable Securities pursuant to
this Section, the Company shall have at least ten (10) days to file any
amendments or supplements necessary to keep the Registration Statement current
and effective pursuant to Rule 415.

    11.  AMENDMENT OF
REGISTRATION RIGHTS.  Provisions of this Agreement may be
amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a
particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with
written consent of the Company, and the Holder. Any amendment or waiver effected
in accordance with this Section 11 shall be binding upon the Investor and the
Company.

    

    12.   MISCELLANEOUS.

    

    a.  A person or entity is
deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such person or entity
owns of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting
instructions, notices or elections from two or more persons or entities with
respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis
of instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such
Registrable Securities.

    

    b.  Any notices required or
permitted to be given under the terms hereof shall be sent by certified or
registered mail (return receipt requested) or delivered personally or by courier
(including a recognized overnight delivery service) or by facsimile and shall be

States mail, or upon receipt, if delivered personally or by courier (including a
recognized overnight delivery service) or by facsimile, in each case addressed

shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state
and federal courts sitting in the City of Atlanta, Georgia.  Each

federal courts sitting in the City of Atlanta, Georgia, for the adjudication of
any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction

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 improper or is an inconvenient venue for such
proceeding.  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 via registered or certified mail or
overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in
effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall
constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way
any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.  The

Agreement, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be
reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs

such action or proceeding.

    

    e.  This Agreement and the
Investment Agreement (including all schedules and exhibits thereto) constitute
the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof and thereof. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or
undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein and therein. This
Agreement and the Investment Agreement supersede all prior agreements and
understandings among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof and thereof.

    

    f.  Subject to the
requirements of Section 10 hereof, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties
hereto.

    

    g.  The headings in this
Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise
affect the meaning hereof.

    

    h.  This Agreement may be
executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original
but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement,
once executed by a party, may be delivered to the other party hereto by
facsimile transmission of a copy of this Agreement bearing the signature of the
party so delivering this Agreement.

    

    i.  Each party shall do and
perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things,
and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates,
instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to
carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

    j.  The Company acknowledges
that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder could cause irreparable harm to
the Investor by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions
contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at
law for breach of its obligations hereunder could be inadequate and agrees, in
the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of any of the
provisions hereunder, that the Investor could be entitled, in addition to all
other available remedies in law or in equity, to seek an injunction or
injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and

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.

    

    l.  In the event that any
provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable
statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the
extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform
with such statute or rule of law. Any provision hereof which may prove invalid
or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision hereof.

    

    m.  There
shall be no oral modifications or amendments to this Agreement.  This
Agreement may be modified or amended only in writing.
