The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures as of the date prior to the filing date of the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 307(b) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) or, to the Company’s knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls.

3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser hereby, for itself and for no other Purchaser, represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of each Closing Date to the Company as follows:
 
(a) Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full right, corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or similar action on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
 
(b) Own Account. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with a view to distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities and has no arrangement or understanding with any other persons regarding the distribution of such Securities (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Purchaser does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the Securities.
 
(c) Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and at the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises any Warrants or converts any Notes it will be either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.

Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
 
4.1 Transfer Restrictions.
 
(a) The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(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. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
 
(b) The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1(b), of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:
 
[NEITHER] THESE SECURITIES [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE] [CONVERTIBLE] HAVE BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THESE SECURITIES AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
 
-20-

 
The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser 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 to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including, if the Securities are subject to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders thereunder.
 
(c) Certificates evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of such Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Underlying Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k), or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If all or any portion of a Note or Warrant is converted or exercised (as applicable) at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144(k) or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations thereof) then such Underlying Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than five Business Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Underlying Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such fifth Business Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section. Certificates for Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Purchasers by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System.
 
-21-


(d) In addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day 5 Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend. Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing any Securities as required by the Transaction Documents, and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
 
(e) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.
 
4.2 Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation its obligation to issue the Underlying Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.
 
4.3 Furnishing of Information. As long as any Purchaser owns Securities, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. As long as any Purchaser owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Purchasers to sell the Securities under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.
 
-22-

 
4.4 Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market.
 
4.5 Conversion and Exercise Procedures. The form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants and the form of Notice of Conversion included in the Notes set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants or convert the Notes. No additional legal opinion or other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants or convert their Notes. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and conversions of the Notes and shall deliver Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.
 
4.6 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of the Placement Agent, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (i) as required by federal securities law in connection with the registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under subclause (i) or (ii).
 
4.7 Shareholders Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, to the knowledge of the Company, any other Person that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any shareholders rights plan or similar plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers. The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act.
 
-23-

 
4.8 Non-Public Information.

The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
 
4.9 Use of Proceeds.

4.10 Reimbursement. If any Purchaser becomes involved in any capacity in any Proceeding by or against any Person who is a stockholder of the Company (except as a result of sales, pledges, margin sales and similar transactions by such Purchaser to or with any current stockholder), solely as a result of such Purchaser’s acquisition of the Securities under this Agreement (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser’s representation, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser may have with any such claimant stockholder or any violations by the Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance), the Company will reimburse such Purchaser for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation preparation and travel in connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred.

-25-

 
(c) The Company shall, if then applicable: (i) in the time and manner required by the Trading Market or if the Common Stock is listed on another Trading Market, promptly prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the Required Minimum on the date of such application, (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares of Common Stock to be approved for listing on the Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter, (iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such listing, and (iv) maintain the listing of such Common Stock on any date at least equal to the Required Minimum on such date on such Trading Market or another Trading Market.
 
4.13 Participation in Future Financing.
 
(a) From the date hereof until the date that is the 12 month anniversary of the Closing Date, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (a “Subsequent Financing”), each Purchaser shall have the right to participate in up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing equal to 100% of the Subsequent Financing (the “Participation Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing.
 
(b) At least 5 Trading Days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a written notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall ask such Purchaser if it wants to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent Financing Notice”). Upon the request of a Purchaser, and only upon a request by such Purchaser, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no later than 1 Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to such Purchaser. The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder and the Person or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected and shall include a term sheet or similar document relating thereto as an attachment.
 
(c) Any Purchaser desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide written notice to the Company by not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 5th Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice that the Purchaser is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of the Purchaser’s participation, and that the Purchaser has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If the Company receives no notice from a Purchaser as of such 5th Trading Day, such Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate.
 
(d) If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 5th Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, notifications by the Purchasers of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause their designees to participate) is, in the aggregate, less than the total amount of the Subsequent Financing, then the Company may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.
 
-26-

 
(e) If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 5th Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, the Company receives responses to a Subsequent Financing Notice from Purchasers seeking to purchase more than the aggregate amount of the Participation Maximum, each such Purchaser shall have the right to purchase its Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Participation Maximum.  “Pro Rata Portion” means the ratio of (x) the Subscription Amount of Securities purchased on the Closing Date by a Purchaser participating under this Section 4.13 and (y) the sum of the aggregate Subscription Amounts of Securities purchased on the Closing Date by all Purchasers participating under this Section 4.13.
 
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.13 shall not apply in respect of (i) an Exempt Issuance or (ii) an underwritten public offering of Common Stock.
 
4.14 Subsequent Equity Sales.
 
(a) From the date hereof until 45 days after the Effective Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents except pursuant to conversion of the Company’s currently outstanding convertible securities or exercise of currently outstanding rights to acquire Common Stock.
 
(b) From the date hereof until such time as no Purchaser holds any of the Securities, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any Subsequent Financing involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company issues or sells (i) any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may sell securities at a future determined price.
 
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.14 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance. 
 
4.15 Most Favored Nation Provision. From the date hereof until the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, any time the Company effects a Subsequent Financing, each Purchaser may elect, in its sole discretion, to exchange all or some of the Notes then held by it for any securities issued in a Subsequent Financing based on the outstanding principal amount of the Note plus accrued but unpaid interest and other fees owed and the effective price at which such securities were sold in such Subsequent Placement.
 
-27-

 
4.16 Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. Further, the Company shall not make any payment of principal or interest on the Notes in amounts which are disproportionate to the respective principal amounts outstanding on the Notes at any applicable time. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended to treat for the Company the Note holders as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.
 
4.17 Bonus Shares. The Company shall take any and all action requested by a Purchaser, including providing any legal opinions, in order to cause the transfer of the Bonus Shares to such Purchaser.
 
ARTICLE V.
MISCELLANEOUS
 
5.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has not been consummated on or before April 15, 2007; provided that no such termination will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by the other party (or parties).
 
5.2 Fees and Expenses. At the Closing, the Company has agreed to reimburse Little Wing LP (“Little Wing”) for its legal fees and expenses. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees, stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities.
 
5.3 Entire Agreement.

5.5 Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Purchasers (or their permitted transferees) holding at least 75% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding in the aggregate or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
 
5.6 Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
 
5.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser. Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions hereof that apply to the “Purchasers”.
 
5.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.11.
 
5.9 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan 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 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 manner permitted by law. THE PARTIES HERETO EACH WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY. 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 attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
 
-29-

 
5.10 Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive each Closing and the delivery, exercise and/or conversion of the Securities, as applicable for the applicable statute of limitations.
 
5.11 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.
 
5.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
 
5.13 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, if any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Documents and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, in the case of a rescission of a conversion of a Note or exercise of a Warrant, the Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded conversion or exercise notice.
 
5.14 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
 
-30-

 
5.15 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
 
5.16 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Documents or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
 
5.17 Usury. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action or proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Documents, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Purchaser’s election.
 
-31-

 
5.18 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Documents. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Documents, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers.
 
5.19 Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled. 
 
5.20 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.

FOLEY HOAG LLP
ATTORNEYS AT LAW

April 6, 2007

To:  Each of the Purchasers under the Securities Purchase Agreement
 
Re: Securities Purchase Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
We have acted as counsel for Vistula Communications Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the negotiation of the Securities Purchase Agreement by and among the purchasers signatory thereto (the “Purchasers”) and the Company dated as of even date herewith (the “Purchase Agreement”), the Registration Rights Agreement between the Purchasers and the Company dated as of even date herewith (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), and the Escrow Agreement between the Purchasers, the escrow agent and the Company dated as of even date herewith (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Purchase Agreement provides for the issuance and sale by the Company of up to $2,500,000 in aggregate principal amount of convertible notes (the “Notes”) and warrants to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of the Common Stock, $.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (the “Warrants”) (the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants and conversion of the Notes are collectively referred to herein as the “Underlying Shares”) (the Escrow Agreement, Purchase Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement, Notes and Warrants are collectively referred to herein as the “Agreements”). All terms used herein have the meanings defined for them in the Purchase Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.
 
This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined originals or copies of: (i) the Agreements, (ii) the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended through the date hereof (“Certificate of Incorporation”), and (iii) the Company’s By-laws, as in effect on the date hereof (the “By-laws”), and we have examined and considered such corporate records, certificates and matters of law as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for our opinions set forth below. In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have relied, as to factual matters, upon the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Agreements.
 
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
 
1. The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business and to own, lease and operate its properties and assets, in each case, as described in the SEC Reports. Vistula USA, Inc. is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business and to own, lease and operate its properties and assets. As disclosed in the Schedules to the Purchase Agreement, neither the Company nor Vistula USA, Inc. is in good standing in Delaware.
 
-46-

 
2. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Agreements and to issue the Notes, the Warrants and the Underlying Shares. The execution and delivery of the Agreements by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no further consent or authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is required. Each of the Agreements has been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and the Notes and Warrants have been duly executed, issued and delivered by the Company and each of the Agreements constitutes valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms.
 
3. The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreements by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without limitation, the issuance of the Notes, the Warrants and the Underlying Shares, do not and will not (i) result in a violation of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws; (ii) except as disclosed in the Disclosure Schedules, conflict with, or constitute a material default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a material default) under, any material agreement, indenture or instrument listed as exhibits in the SEC Reports to which the Company is a party, except for such conflicts and defaults, as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect or for which a consent and waiver have been obtained; or (iii) result in a violation of the Delaware General Corporation Law or any federal or Massachusetts law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, except for such violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. To our knowledge, the Company is not in violation of any terms of its Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws.
 
4. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the Purchasers in the Purchase Agreement, the issuance of the Notes, the Warrants and the Underlying Shares in accordance with the Purchase Agreement will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants in accordance with their respective terms, the Underlying Shares, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free of any liens, encumbrances and preemptive or similar rights contained in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws or, to our knowledge, in any agreement to which the Company is a party.
 
5. We have not been engaged to devote substantive attention to any actions, suits, proceedings or investigations that are pending against the Company or its properties. To our knowledge, except as disclosed in the SEC Reports or the Schedules to the Purchase Agreement, the Company is not a party to or subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality.
 
-47-

 
6. As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock of which shares 66,964,898 are outstanding and 10,000,000 shares of undesignated Preferred Stock of which none are outstanding. The Bonus Shares have been duly authorized and are fully paid and non-assessable.
 
7. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the Purchasers in the Purchase Agreement, the transfer of the Bonus Shares in accordance with the Purchase Agreement will be exempt from registration with the Securities Act.
 
The opinions expressed herein are subject to the following assumptions, limitations, qualifications and exceptions:
 
(a) We have made such legal and factual examinations and inquiries as we have deemed advisable or necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion.
 
(b) We have examined, among other things, originals or copies of such corporate records of the Company, certificates of public officials and such other documents and questions of law that we consider necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion. In such examination we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures or original documents, the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all copies submitted to us as copies thereof, the legal capacity of natural persons, and the due execution and delivery of all documents (except as to due execution and delivery by the Company) where due execution and delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof.
 
(c) As used in this opinion, the expression “to our knowledge” refers to the current actual knowledge of the attorneys of this firm who have worked on matters for the Company solely in connection with the Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby.
 
(d)  For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed that you have all requisite power and authority, and have taken any and all necessary corporate action, to execute and deliver the Agreements, and we are assuming that the representations and warranties made by the Purchasers in the Agreements and pursuant thereto are true and correct.  
 
(e) Our opinion is based upon our knowledge of the facts as of the date hereof and assumes no event will take place in the future which would affect the opinions set forth herein other than future events contemplated by the Agreements. We assume no duty to communicate with you with respect to any change in law or facts which comes to our attention hereafter.
 
(f) In rendering the opinion in paragraph 1 with respect to legal existence of the Company in the State of Delaware, we have relied solely upon a certificate of the Secretary of State of Delaware and we express such opinion as of the date of such certificate. In rendering the opinion in paragraph 1 with respect to legal existence of Vistula USA, Inc. in the State of Delaware, we have relied solely upon a certificate of the Secretary of State of Delaware and we express such opinion as of the date of such certificate. We express no opinion as to the tax good standing of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
 
-48-

 
(g)  In rendering the opinion in paragraph 5, we have relied upon a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board of the Company (the “Certificate”) without further investigation. In particular, we have not searched the dockets of the courts or government agencies or instrumentalities of any jurisdictions.
 
(h) In rendering the opinion expressed in paragraph 6 with respect to capitalization, we have relied upon the Certificate without further investigation.
 
We have made such examination of Massachusetts law, federal law, and the Delaware General Corporation Law as we have deemed necessary for the purpose of this opinion. In rendering opinions concerning the Delaware General Corporation Law, we have, with your consent, relied exclusively upon a review of published statutes. In rendering opinions respecting the enforceability of the Agreements, we have assumed, with your consent and without any research or other confirmation, that the laws of the State of New York are identical in all respects to the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We express no opinion herein as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the federal laws of the United States of America and the Delaware General Corporation Law.
 
The opinions expressed herein are qualified to the extent that (1) the enforceability of any provisions of the Agreements or any instrument or of any right granted thereunder may be subject to or affected by any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar law of general application relating to or affecting the rights or remedies of creditors generally, which law may be in effect from time to time, (2) the remedy of specific performance or any other equitable remedy may be unavailable or may be withheld as a matter of judicial discretion, (3) equitable principles and principles of public policy may be applied in construing or enforcing the provisions of the Agreements or of any other agreement, instrument or document, and (4) the enforceability, validity or binding effect of any remedial provision of the Agreements may be limited by applicable law which may limit particular rights and remedies but not so as to interfere materially with the practical realization of the benefits intended to be provided to you by the Agreements. In addition, the opinions expressed herein are subject to the qualification that the enforcement of any of your rights are in all cases subject to the your implied duty of good faith and fair dealing.
 
We express no opinion herein as to the validity or enforceability of any provision of the Agreements or any other instrument or document to the extent that such provision purports to (1) constitute a waiver by the Company of any statutory right except where advance waiver is expressly permitted by the relevant statute; (2) require the Company to indemnify or to hold harmless you or any other person or entity from the consequences of any negligent or other wrongful act or omission of you or such other person or entity; (3) provide for indemnification or contribution by the Company in connection with the Agreements, the transactions contemplated thereby or otherwise to the extent such indemnification or contribution may be limited by applicable laws or as a matter of public policy; or (4) constitute a waiver of any right to a hearing on or adjudication of any issue or the right to trial by jury. We express no opinion with respect to whether any of the provisions of the Agreements or the transactions contemplated by the Agreements comply with the usury laws of any jurisdiction.
 
-49-

 
This opinion shall be interpreted in accordance with the Legal Opinions Principles issued by the Committee on Legal Opinions of the American Bar Association’s Business Law Section as published in 53 Business Lawyer 831 (May 1998).
 
This opinion is furnished to the Purchasers solely for their benefit in connection with the transactions described above and, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, may not be relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose without our prior written consent, except that the opinions expressed in paragraph (4) and (7) above may be relied upon by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company as Transfer Agent.

Cardlink Services Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Scotland

Vistula Telecom Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales

-54-

 
Schedule 3.1(b)

Organization and Qualification

Vistula Limited is not in good standing with Companies House in the United Kingdom. Vistula Limited failed to file accounts for the 2005 fiscal year due to the preparer holding the accounts for payment of at least a meaningful portion of amounts owed to them for these preparations and other services. The Company expects that the delinquent accounts will be finalized and filed with Companies House by June 30, 2007. No taxes are due and a small late penalty fee may be due.

Both Vistula Limited and Goodman Blue are not in good standing with the Inland Revenue in the United Kingdom. Both entities owe past taxes for PAYE (Pay As You Earn) which is the equivalent to the IRS’s FICA, Unemployment, and other taxes withheld from employee paychecks and is the part of an employee’s salary that represents their withholdings and should be paid directly to the government at the same time staff is paid. Vistula Limited is approximately £10,000 (USD 20,000) behind and Goodman Blue is approximately £35,000 (USD 70,000) behind. If the respective entities do not pay their respective delinquencies by Tuesday, April 3, 2007, Inland Revenue bailiffs may come to the offices of Vistula Limited and Goodman Blue to seize assets to secure the outstanding debts. This means that desks, chairs and PC’s may be seized; however the value of these assets may be less than the amounts owed.

Vistula Communications Services, Inc. has not filed its Delaware Franchise Tax Return, has not paid its 2006 Delaware Franchise Tax and is not in good standing with the State of Delaware. The Company expects that the filing will be made and the amounts and penalties due in respect of this filing of approximately $15,000 will be paid within two weeks of the Closing Date.

Vistula Communications Services, Inc. and Vistula USA, Inc. have not filed extensions for their 2006 Federal and State Corporate Income Tax returns, are not in good standing with the states of New York and Massachusetts and are not in good standing with the IRS. The Company expects to file the respective extensions, pay amounts due and penalties due in respect of these filings, and estimates that approximately $2,500 will be paid within two weeks of the Closing Date for the required filings to bring the Company into good standing.

Schedule 3.1(d)

No Conflicts

On October 11, 2006, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement for all ordinary shares of Goodman Blue Limited, a UK company, from the sole shareholder, Scott Lee Goodwin (“Goodwin”), for 2,500,000 common shares subject to an option (or “Put”) held by Goodwin to require the Company to repurchase the shares for $1.00 each or $2,500,000. The Put was extended to March 21, 2007 for 1,400,000 shares (“First Put Option”) at $1.00 each and extended to August 31, 2007 for 1,100,000 shares (“Second Put Option”) at $1.00 each. The Put option for March 21, 2007 was not exercised; however the Company has verbally agreed to consider an alternate solution for both the First Put Option and the Second Put Option.

These options were issued under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan.

The Company has issued the following convertible promissory notes (collectively, the “Rothschild Notes”) to the J. Rothschild Assurance Self Invested Personal Pension Plan No. 2 (the “Pension Plan”), the sole beneficiary of which is the Company’s Chairman, Rupert Galliers-Pratt:

1. Principal amount of $125,000 issued on July 12, 2004

2. Principal amount of $150,000 issued on August 11, 2004

The Rothschild Notes have a one year term, accrue interest at the rate of 7% per annum and are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the price of $1.50 per share. Interest accrued on the Rothschild Notes is also convertible into shares of common stock at $1.50 per share. The Pension Plan has agreed to extend the maturity dates of the Rothschild Notes until June 30, 2007. As of December 31, 006 the balance due on the Rothschild Notes (including accrued interest) was $204,943. This amount is convertible into shares of common stock at a price of $1.50 per share.

On December 13, 2005, the Company entered into a Consultant, Representative and Professional Services Agreement with Quest Telecommunications, Inc. (“Quest”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay certain amounts and issue shares of the Company’s common stock upon the signing of a definitive agreement with Saigon Post and Telecommunications Services Corporation (“SPT”). The Company entered into a distribution and marketing agreement with SPT with respect to the V-Cube™ on July 3, 2006. Upon signing this agreement, the Company was obligated to issue to Quest 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and to pay to Quest $150,000 in cash, plus a continuing commission of thirty percent of the license fees received from SPT in connection with the licensing and distribution of the V-Cube™ in certain geographic areas (net of sales, use and value added taxes, if any, payable by us in connection with such license fees). Although an agreement with SPT has been signed, the Company does not expect to pay the $150,000 in cash or the continuing commission of thirty percent of the license fees received from SPT, due to SPT’s indication of its intent to enter into a license purchase and maintenance agreement in lieu of the distribution and marketing agreement and a reported delay in SPT’s ability to launch the product due to the local government’s approval process. The Company does expect to issue the 300,000 shares of common stock to Quest once Quest signs and delivers an investment representation letter to the Company.

The Company will be obligated to pay certain fees and/or issue certain warrants to Oceana Partners LLC in connection with the sale of the convertible notes and warrants.  A cash fee of 8% of the gross purchase price from new investors, estimated to be $52,000, and a five year warrant to purchase up to 1,300,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

The Company will be obligated to pay certain fees and/or issue certain warrants to W. Quillen Securities (“WQS”) in connection with the sale of the convertible notes and warrants. A cash fee of 8% of the gross purchase price received from any investors introduced to the Company by WQS, estimated to be $4,000, and a five year warrant to purchase up to 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

The Company may be obligated to pay certain fees and/or issue certain warrants to Source Capital Group, Inc. (“SCG”) in connection with the sale of the convertible notes and warrants in accordance with the Source Capital Engagement Letter. The Company has requested a waiver from SCG of such fees and/or warrants and SCG has orally agreed to waive any fee in connection with the sale of the convertible notes and warrants. The Company expects that a written agreement regarding this waiver will be obtained from SCG soon.

In consideration for, and as a condition to, the execution and delivery of a waiver by the Company’s Debenture holders, pursuant to which the Debenture holders (i) waive any late fee(s) associated with any overdue payment of interest, and (ii) confirm that an event of default does not exist with respect to the debentures, the Company may be obligated to reduce the exercise price of replacement warrants that were issued to the Debenture holders pursuant to a Warrant Exercise Agreement dated October 3, 2005 from $1.50 per share to $1.00 per share. The Company has also agreed to include full ratchet anti-dilution provisions in the $1.00 warrants.

As a result of the re-pricing of these warrants, the Company expects the exercise price of 559,701 existing warrants to be adjusted pursuant to their weighted-average anti-dilution provisions. These warrants currently have an exercise price of $1.34. The actual adjustment will be dependent upon the size of the offering, and is believed not to be significant in comparison to the number of warrants currently outstanding or in comparison to the fully diluted number of commons shares.

Schedule 3.1(j)

Litigation

The Company is delinquent in its rent payments for an apartment in London used by NetYantra consultants. The landlord of the property has demanded payment and is seeking a County Court Judgement. The Company believes it will avoid any judgement provided it is able to make a payment by Friday, April 6, 2007.

Both Vistula Limited and Goodman Blue are not in good standing with the Inland Revenue in the United Kingdom. Both entities owe past taxes for PAYE (Pay As You Earn) which is the equivalent to the IRS’s FICA, Unemployment, and other taxes withheld from employee paychecks and is the part of an employee’s salary that represents their withholdings and should be paid directly to the government at the same time staff is paid. Vistula Limited is approximately £10,000 (USD 20,000) behind and Goodman Blue is approximately £35,000 (USD 70,000) behind. If the respective entities do not pay their respective delinquencies by Tuesday, April 3, 2007, Inland Revenue bailiffs may come to the offices of Vistula Limited and Goodman Blue to seize assets to secure the outstanding debts. This means that desks, chairs and PC’s may be seized; however the value of these assets may be less than the amounts owed.

On September 8, 2006, the Company sent a letter to Auris Consulting, Ltd. (“Auris”) and Sandro Grimaldi (“S. Grimaldi”) regarding a Consulting Agreement dated December 7, 2005 and a separate letter to Global Access Partners, Inc. (“Global Access”) and Alex Grimaldi (“A. Grimaldi”) regarding a Consulting Agreement, dated December 6, 2005, (together the “Consulting Agreements”) which stated that the Company considered Auris and Global Access to be in material default under the terms of their respective Consulting Agreements. As a result of non-compliance with numerous requests by the Company for items agreed to in the Consulting Agreements, the Company gave notice to Auris and Global Access that it was suspending all payments under the respective Consulting Agreements effective immediately.

In a letter dated September 6, 2006, the Law Offices of Glantz and Glantz, P.A. wrote on behalf of Alejandro (Alex) Grimaldi (“Grimaldi”) with regard to the possibility of a lawsuit being filed against the Company for its failure to compensate Grimaldi according to the Consulting Agreement dated December 6, 2005. The letter demanded that in order to resolve the matter without resorting to further legal action the Company compensate Grimaldi according to the terms of the contract. The Company intends to defend any such lawsuit filed by Grimaldi. The Company has not had any further communication from the Grimaldis and is not expecting them to initiate any proceedings.

Schedule 3.1(k)

Labor Relations

Due to the Company’s cash position, it has become delinquent with respect to several compensation payments owed to its employees, consultants and officers in the United States and in the United Kingdom. The Company has estimated that as of March 30, 2007, it owes $511,000 to its employees, consultants and officers, of which $380,000 is expected to be paid immediately following the Closing Date. The estimated amounts owed include overdue PAYE taxes due the UK.

The Company has previously paid for the services provided by a team of consultants at NetYantra, the developer of the V-Cube software. Due to non-payment for services from December 2006 through March 2007 NetYantra has informed the Company that it has given notice to its employees that operations will cease in one month. The Company’s Chairman, Rupert Galliers-Pratt, and Vinod Sankar, a Director of NetYantra, are in discussions to reduce the number of consultants from approximately 30 to 10 or fewer, with the objective of maintaining an adequate number of consultants to support the Northamber distribution agreement.

Effective December 15, 2006, J. Keith Markley resigned from all positions he held with the Company. Upon his resignation, Mr. Markley was entitled to payments totalling $290,000 as per the terms of his employment agreement. The Company has not discussed this payment with Mr. Markley but intends to negotiate delay of this payment until January 2008 and has reflected this delay in the Company’s budget figures disclosed.

Schedule 3.1(l)

Compliance

Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s outstanding 8% Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”), the Company is required to make quarterly interest payments. The Company has not made the interest payment that was due on December 31, 2006. The Company has not received any notices of default from any of the Debenture holders. Immediately following the Closing Date the Company will pay approximately $260,000 to the Debenture holders as payment for the interest due on December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007, for the December interest payment as well as an additional $130,000 for interest due on March 31, 2007. The Company has requested waivers from the Debenture holders whereby the holders (i) waive any Late Fee(s) associated with any overdue payment of interest, and (ii) confirm that the holder has not given the Company a notice of any Event of Default in respect of the Debentures and that no Event of Default now, or with the passage of time, exists with respect to the Debentures.

The Company’s subsidiary, Goodman Blue Limited, has a Small Business Loan, guaranteed by the UK Secretary of State pursuant to Section 8 of the Industrial Development Act of 1982. A payment made on this loan resulted in an overdraft of one of Goodman Blue’s bank accounts of approximately USD 18,000. Payment to replenish this overdraft is expected to be made directly following the Closing Date.

The Company’s subsidiary Vistula Limited, is overdrawn on one of its bank accounts by approximately USD 6,000. Payment to replenish this overdraft is expected to be made directly following the Closing Date.

The Company is delinquent with respect to approximately $14,000 in lease payments for its principal office in New York.  The Company is delinquent with respect to approximately GBP6,000 ($12,000) in lease payments for an apartment in London that is used by consultants of NetYantra.  The full amounts of these respective delinquencies are expected to be paid immediately following the Closing Date.  The Company is also delinquent with respect to approximately $18,000 in lease payments related to the Company's switching facility in Los Angeles, of which a portion of this amount is expected to paid immediately following the Closing Date.

Schedule 3.1(n)

Title to Assets
 
The Company expects to enter into an Agreement whereby it will sell its UK Lucent Switch used in the Company’s wholesale voice services business in exchange for the buyer (i) assuming the Telehouse lease and all associated costs, including, without limitation the costs of the circuits, power, and running the switching equipment (ii) operating the Switch, (iii) allowing the Company to use the switch for three years at no cost to the Company and (iv) assuming any billing processes previously performed by one of the Company’s employees, who will continue to be available to the Company. The Agreement is expected to be effective retroactively as of January 1, 2007.

The Company’s Sonus switch located in Los Angeles had an equipment failure and has not been working as of January 31, 2007. Due to the Company’s cash position and minimal revenue as a result of this switch, the switch has not been repaired. Any traffic has been re-routed to the UK switching facility in London.

Actual results are likely to vary, perhaps materially, from the Company’s projections due, at least in part, to the Risk Factors cited in the Company’s Form 10K-SB for the year ended December 31, 2005.

* Purchaser is described below.

On October 12, 2006, the Company entered into agreements relating to the sale of certain customer agreements using Vistula’s Order-to-Cash (“O2C”) Managed Office software platform and the management of certain customer accounts utilizing the O2C software to a Purchaser.  Goodman Blue had been processing the invoice and collections of cash from the customers whose agreements were sold to the Purchaser. As cash was collected in from the customer Goodman Blue was supposed to forward on the cash to the Purchaser. Goodman Blue used this cash for its own operations and owes the Purchaser approximately GBP 75,000 (USD 147,000) for this activity and additional amounts related to other business activity from Vistula Limited. The Company intends to negotiate the cash owed to the Purchaser and other accounts payable due the Purchaser from Vistula Limited with the license sale price for the Purchaser’s use of MyOrder portal the Purchaser is contracted to buy.
