Holder hereby agrees that during the Restriction Period, the Holder will not sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock or any options, warrants or other rights to purchase shares of Common Stock or any other security of the Company which Holder owns or has a right to acquire as of the date hereof or hereafter, other than in connection with an offer made to all shareholders of the Company or any merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company.

3.
Bankruptcy Standstill. So long as any of the notes or warrants referenced in paragraph 1.b. are outstanding, Holder agrees that he will not initiate or cause to be initiated on its behalf proceedings for the appointment of a trustee or receiver or file an involuntary action against the Company under Chapter 7 or 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code declare a default against the Company or otherwise commence or caused to be commenced any collection proceedings against the Company or enforce or cause enforcement of any of his rights against the Company except pursuant to a certain Security Agreement and Collateral Agent Agreement entered into at or about the date hereof. Holder also agrees to not collect from the Company payments in excess of the prior monthly agreed to payments under any previously existing agreements with the Company.

 
4.
Acknowledgements. Holder acknowledges that his rights are limited to those granted under this Agreement and under the Security Agreement and he is not entitled to any other benefit under the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

a.
Antidilution rights shall only be granted with respect to issuances of Common Stock (whether by new issuances, conversion from debt instruments or exercise of warrants or options) for consideration less than $.10 per share, subject to equitable adjustment for stock splits and the like (“Antidilution Transactions”).

   
b.
With respect to Antidilution Transactions, Holder shall receive a number of shares so that his percentage of shares relative to such transaction (inclusive of his shares) is 10%. For example, if an investor were to receive 1000 shares, Holder would be entitled to receive 110 shares, as 110 shares to 1110 (1000+110) shares, is 10%. In order to simplify, all new issuances which are Antidilution Transactions shall be multiplied by 11% to obtain the number of shares due Holder. Any shares received by Holder as a result of Anti-dilution Transactions shall be subject to the restrictions described herein.
