4.2             Due Authorization and Valid Issuance.  The Company has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Agreements, and the Agreements have been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Company and constitute legal, valid and binding agreements of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by state or federal securities laws or the public policy underlying such laws, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).  The Common Shares and Preferred Shares being purchased by the Investor hereunder will, upon issuance and payment therefor pursuant to the terms hereof, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and nonassessable.  The Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock: (i) the number of Common Shares and/or Preferred Shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock the (“Conversion Shares”), and (iii) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.

4.3             Non-Contravention.  The execution and delivery of the Agreements, the issuance and sale of the Securities under the Agreements, the fulfillment of the terms of the Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will not (A) conflict with or constitute a violation of, or default (with the passage of time or otherwise) under, (i) any material bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness, lease, contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, joint venture or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it or any of its properties are bound, (ii) the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of the Company, or (iii) any law, administrative regulation, ordinance or order of any court or governmental agency, arbitration panel or authority applicable to the Company or their respective properties, except in the case of clauses (i) and (iii) for any such conflicts, violations or defaults which are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or (B) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, encumbrance, claim, security interest or restriction whatsoever upon any of the material properties or assets of the Company or an acceleration of indebtedness pursuant to any obligation, agreement or condition contained in any material bond, debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness or any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which any of them is bound or to which any of the material property or assets of the Company is subject except in cases not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.  No consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or registration, qualification or filing with, any regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental body in the United States or any other person is required for the execution and delivery of the Agreements and the valid issuance and sale of the Securities to be sold pursuant to the Agreements, other than such as have been made or obtained, and except for any post-closing securities filings or notifications required to be made under federal or state securities laws.

4.5           Financial Statements; Accountants.  The consolidated financial statements of the Company and the related notes contained in the Exchange Act Documents present fairly in all material respects, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position of the Company as of the dates indicated, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods therein specified and are consistent with the books and records of the Company except that the unaudited interim financial statements were or are subject to normal and recurring year-end adjustments which are not expected to be material in amount.  Such financial statements (including the related notes) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods therein specified, except as may be included in the notes to such financial statements, or in the case of unaudited statements, as may be permitted by the SEC on Form 10-QSB under the Exchange Act and except as disclosed in the Exchange Act Documents.  The other financial information contained in the Exchange Act Documents has been prepared on a basis consistent with the financial statements of the Company.  To the Company’s knowledge, Kingery & Crouse, P.A., who the Company expects will consent to the inclusion in the Registration Statement referred to in Section 8.1 hereof of any of its opinions with respect to the financial statements to be incorporated by reference from the Company’s Exchange Act Documents into the Registration Statement (as defined below) and the prospectus which forms a part thereof, are independent accountants as required by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

6.           Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Company and the Investor herein shall survive the execution of this Agreement, the delivery to the Investor of the Securities being purchased and the payment therefor.

7.           Transfer Restrictions.

7.1             The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws.  Each Investor will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take pledge of) any of the Securities except in compliance with the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws and the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  In connection with any transfer of the Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, to the Company, to an affiliate of an Investor (who is an accredited investor and executes a customary representation letter) or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 7(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act, provided, however, that in the case of a transfer pursuant to Rule 144, no opinion shall be required if the transferor provides the Company with a customary seller’s representation letter reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and if such sale is not pursuant to subsection (k) of Rule 144, a customary broker’s representation letter and a Form 144.  Any such transferee that agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement shall have the rights of an Investor under this Agreement.   The Company shall reissue certificates evidencing the Securities upon surrender of certificates evidencing the Securities being transferred in accordance with this Section 7(a).

7.2             The Investors agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 7, of a legend on any of the Securities in substantially the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AS SET FORTH IN THIS CERTIFICATE.  THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, ACCEPTABLE TO COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY, TO THE EFFECT THAT THE PROPOSED SALE, TRANSFER OR DISPOSITION MAY BE AFFECTED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that an Investor may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities, in accordance with all applicable securities laws, to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Investor may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties; provided that such Investor shall provide the Company with such documentation as is reasonably requested by the Company to ensure that the pledge is pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

7.3             Certificates evidencing the Securities shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 7(b)), (i) following any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) if such Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k), or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent promptly upon the occurrence of any of the events in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above to effect the removal of the legend hereunder.  The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 7(c), it will, as promptly as practicable following the delivery by an Investor to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Securities issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Investor a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends.

7.4             The Investor agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 7 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance on, and the Investor’s agreement that, the Investor will not sell any Securities except pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.

(e)          file documents required of the Company for normal blue sky clearance in states specified in writing by the Investor and use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such blue sky qualifications during the period the Company is required to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 8.1(c); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented;

(g)          advise the Investor (which advisement may occur electronically), promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC delaying or suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for that purpose; and it will promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal at the earliest possible moment if such stop order should be issued.

The Investor acknowledges that the Company may include on the Registration Statement; shares of Common Stock of the Company for resale by certain other stockholders of the Company, and that the Company may file a subsequent registration statement for the resale of shares of Common Stock by certain other stockholder of the Company.

(a)                      The Investor agrees that it will not effect any disposition of the Registrable Securities or its right to purchase the Registrable Securities that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act except as contemplated in the Registration Statement referred to in Section 8.1 and as described below or as otherwise permitted by law, and that it will promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth in the Registration Statement regarding the Investor or its plan of distribution.

(b)                      Except in the event that paragraph (c) below applies, the Company shall (i) if deemed necessary by the Company, use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file from time to time with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that such Registration Statement will not contain an 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 not misleading, and so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, such prospectus will not contain an 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (ii) provide the Investor (which may occur electronically) upon its request copies of any documents filed pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(i); and (iii) inform each Investor that the Company has complied with its obligations in Section 8.2(b)(i) (or that, if the Company has filed a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement which has not yet been declared effective, the Company will notify the Investor to that effect, will use its commercially reasonable efforts to secure the effectiveness of such post-effective amendment as promptly as possible and will promptly notify the Investor when the amendment has become effective).

(c)          Subject to paragraph (d) below, in the event (i) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or for additional information; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; or (iv) of any event or circumstance which, upon the advice of its counsel, necessitates the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; then the Company shall deliver a certificate in writing (which may be delivered electronically) to the Investor (the “Suspension Notice”) to the effect of the foregoing and, upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, the Investor will refrain from selling any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement (a “Suspension”) until the Investor’s receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus prepared and filed by the Company, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the current prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in any such prospectus.  In the event of any Suspension, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the use of the prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as reasonably practicable after the delivery of a Suspension Notice to the Investor.

(d)          Provided that a Suspension is not then in effect, the Investor may sell Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement, provided that it arranges for delivery of a current prospectus to the transferee of such Registrable Securities.

(e)          In the event of a sale of Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Investor must also deliver to the Company’s transfer agent, with a copy to the Company, a Certificate of Subsequent Sale substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, and its stock certificate, so that the Registrable Securities may be properly transferred.

8.3             Indemnification.  For the purpose of this Section 8.3:

(i)             the term “Selling Stockholder” shall include the Investor and any affiliate of such Investor;

(ii)             the term “Registration Statement” shall include the prospectus in the form first filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act or filed as part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness if no Rule 424(b) filing is required, and any exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to the Registration Statement referred to in Section 8.1; and

(iii)             the term “untrue statement” shall include any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or any omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(a)                      The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Stockholder from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Selling Stockholder may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement as amended at the time of effectiveness or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company will reimburse such Selling Stockholder for any reasonable and documented legal expenses and any other actual, accountable out-of–pocket documented expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim, or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim, provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement made in such Registration Statement or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Selling Stockholder specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement or the failure of such Selling Stockholder to comply with its covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement.  The Company shall reimburse each Selling Stockholder for the amounts provided for herein within a reasonable period of time after demand thereof.

(b)                      The Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company (and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement and each director of the Company) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company (or any such officer, director or controlling person) may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any failure to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, or (ii) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading if such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of the Investor specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, and the Investor will reimburse the Company (or such officer, director or controlling person), as the case may be, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim.

(c)                      Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 8.3, such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying person will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified person under this Section 8.3 (except to the extent that such omission materially and adversely affects the indemnifying person’s ability to defend such action) or from any liability otherwise than under this Section 8.3.  Subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified person, the indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified person promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified person, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof.  After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its election to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof, provided, however, that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate, in the opinion of counsel to the indemnified person, for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person; provided, however, that no indemnifying person shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with appropriate local counsel) for all indemnified parties.  In no event shall any indemnifying person be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the indemnifying person shall have approved the terms of such settlement; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  No indemnifying person shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
 
 
12


 
(d)                      If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8.3 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified person under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying person shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Investor, as well as any other Selling Stockholders under such registration statement on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or other matters which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, in the case of an untrue statement, whether the untrue statement relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or an Investor or other Selling Stockholder on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement.  The Company and the Investor agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Investor and other Selling Stockholders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d).  The amount paid or payable by an indemnified person as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified person in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), the Investor shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net amount received by the Investor from the sale of the Registrable Securities to which such loss relates exceeds the amount of any damages which such Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  The Investor’s obligations in this subsection to contribute shall be in proportion to its Investor sale of Registrable Securities to which such loss relates and shall not be joint with any other Selling Stockholders.

(e)                      The Investor hereby acknowledges that it is a sophisticated business person who was represented by counsel during the negotiations regarding the provisions hereof including, without limitation, the provisions of this Section 8.3, and is fully informed regarding said provisions.  The Investor further acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 8.3 fairly allocate the risks involved in the Offering.  The Investor and the Company are advised that federal or state public policy as interpreted by the courts in certain jurisdictions may be contrary to certain of the provisions of this Section 8.3, and the Investor and the Company hereto hereby expressly waive and relinquish any right or ability to assert such public policy as a defense to a claim under this Section 8.3 and further agree not to attempt to assert any such defense.

8.4             Termination of Conditions and Obligations.  The conditions precedent imposed by Section 5 or this Section 8 upon the transferability of the Registrable Securities shall cease and terminate as to any particular number of the Registrable Securities when such Registrable Securities shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act and sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the intended method of disposition set forth in the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities or at such time as an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company shall have been rendered to the effect that such conditions are not necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act.

8.5             Information Available.  So long as the Registration Statement is effective covering the resale of Registrable Securities owned by the Investor, the Company will furnish to the Investor:

(a)                      as soon as practicable after it is available, one copy of (i) its Annual Report to Stockholders (which Annual Report shall contain financial statements audited in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles by a national firm of certified public accountants), (ii) its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and (iii) its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB (the foregoing, in each case, excluding exhibits);

(b)                      upon the reasonable request of the Investor, an adequate number of copies of the prospectuses to supply to any other party requiring such prospectuses; and

(c)          if agreed to by the Investor on the signature page to this Agreement, the documents required to be delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, except for the prospectus or preliminary prospectus required to be delivered pursuant to Section 8.1(d) herein, shall be delivered to the Investor in electronic form to the e-mail address provided by the Investor on the signature page of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
 
 
13

 
9.           Notices.  All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing, shall be mailed (A) if within the United States by first-class registered or certified airmail, or nationally recognized overnight express courier, postage prepaid, by facsimile or e-mail (if agreed to by the Investor), or (B) if delivered from outside the United States, by international express courier, facsimile or e-mail (if agreed to by the Investor), and shall be deemed given (i) if delivered by first-class registered or certified mail, three business days after so mailed, (ii) if delivered by nationally recognized overnight carrier, one business day after so mailed, (iii) if delivered by International Federal Express, two business days after so mailed, (iv) if delivered by facsimile or e-mail, upon electronic confirmation of receipt and shall be delivered as addressed as follows:

(c)
if to the Investor, at its mail or e-mail address on the signature page hereto, or at such other address or addresses as may have been furnished to the Company in writing.

10.           Changes.  This Agreement may not be modified or amended except pursuant to an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Investor; provided, however, the provisions of Section 8.1 may not be amended without the prior written consent of at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities.

11.           Headings.  The headings of the various sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to be part of this Agreement and do not affect its interpretation.

12.           Severability.  In case any provision contained in this Agreement should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

13.           Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law.

14.           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, including facsimile counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one instrument, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each party hereto and delivered to the other parties.

15.           Rule 144.  The Company covenants that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Investor holding the Securities purchased hereunder made after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, make publicly available such information as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act), and it will use commercially reasonable efforts to take such further action as any such Investor may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Investor to sell the Securities purchased hereunder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC.

16.           Confidential Information.  The Investor represents to the Company that, at all times during the Company’s offering of the Securities, the Investor has maintained in confidence all non-public information regarding the Company received by the Investor from the Company or its agents, including information about the Offering of the Securities and covenants that it will continue to maintain in confidence such information until such information (a) becomes generally publicly available other than through a violation of this provision by the Investor or its agents or (b) is required to be disclosed in legal proceedings (such as by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigation demand, filing with any governmental authority or similar process), provided, however, that before making any use or disclosure in reliance on this subparagraph (b) the Investor shall give the Company at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice (or such shorter period as required by law) specifying the circumstances giving rise thereto and will furnish only that portion of the non-public information which is legally required and will exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded any non-public information so furnished.
