The Managing Agents will promptly deliver a copy of each subscription agreement received to the executive offices of the Company, to the attention of the Company's Assistant Treasurer.

(i)
upon each closing, an underwriting discount equal to nine percent (9%) of the aggregate subscription amount for all Securities placed by the Managing Agents and the Placement Agents;
   
(ii)
a non-accountable expense allowance to the Managing Agents for legal, accounting, and other miscellaneous expenses equal to three percent (3%) of the aggregate subscription amount for all Securities placed by the Managing Agents and the Placement Agents; such allowance to be paid on each closing of the Offering with respect to the amount closed in each such closing less advances which are to be applied against such expense allowance as stated; and

(f)  At the Initial Closing, the Company shall also deliver to the Managing Agents, lock-up agreements, satisfactory to the Managing Agents (the “Lock-Up Agreements”), from each of the officers, directors and 5% or more stockholders to the Company, agreeing that for a period of twelve (12) months from the date the Effective Date, he, she or it will not, without the Company’s and each Managing Agent’s prior written consent, offer, sell, contract to sell, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock of the Company, including without limitation, any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of any employee stock options; provided however, that such persons may offer, sell contract to sell, grant an option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of his, her or its shares of Common Stock or other securities or instruments of the Company during such period only if such transaction is private in nature and the transferee of such shares of Common Stock or other securities or instruments agrees in writing prior to such transaction, to be bound by all of the provisions of such Lock-up Agreement. The Lock-up Agreements shall also provide that each of the officers, directors and 5% or more stockholders of the Company will agree that subsequent to the expiration of this twelve (12) month lock-up period, they will only dispose of or otherwise encumber any of their shares when the Securities price, adjusted for any splits, or any material change in capital structure via merger or business combination, trades 60% above the Offering Price for a twenty (20) consecutive business day period. Commencing 12 months from the date of this prospectus, should the Company’s Common Stock trade sixty percent (60%) above the Offering Price for a twenty (20) consecutive business day period, all contractual lock-ups will be terminated. The lock-up will expire in all cases eighteen (18) months from the Effective Date. .

(g) The Company shall be responsible for all of its selling expenses incident to the offering which are customarily incurred, paid, or borne by or on behalf of issuers in connection with the sale of securities, even though such expenses are paid through the Managing Agents.

(h) At each Closing, the Managing Agents shall have received the favorable opinion of Lehman & Eilen, LLP, counsel for the Company, having offices at Mission Bay Office Plaza, 20283 State Road 7, Suite 300, Boca Raton, Florida 33498, addressed to the Managing Agents, to the satisfaction of the Managing Agents.

(i) At each closing, the Managing Agents shall have received a customary “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s auditors.

5.  Further Agreements of the Company. The Company further agrees with the Managing Agents as follows:

The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any Stop Order and, if and if any Stop Order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof as promptly as possible. If the Registration Statement has become or becomes effective under the Securities Act with a form of prospectus omitting information under Rule 430A of Regulation C promulgated under the Securities Act, or filing of the prospectus with the SEC is otherwise required under Rule 424(b) of Regulation C, the Company will file with the SEC the Prospectus, properly completed, pursuant to such rule within the time period prescribed and will provide evidence satisfactory to the Managing Agents of such timely filing.

(b) During the time when a Prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered hereunder or under the Securities Acts or regulations promulgated by the SEC, comply with all the requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act, as now existing and hereafter amended, and by the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as from time to time in force, so far as necessary to permit the continuance of the sales of the Securities in accordance with the provisions hereof. If, at any time when a Prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered hereunder or under the rules or the regulations promulgated by the SEC, any event shall have occurred as a result of which, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Managing Agents, the Registration Statement or the prospectus as then amended or supplemented contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or if, the in the reasonable opinion of either of such counsel, it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the prospectus to comply with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Company will immediately notify the Managing Agents and promptly prepare and file with the SEC an appropriate amendment or supplement (in form and substance satisfactory to the Managing Agents) which will correct such statement or omission of which will effect such compliance and will use its best efforts to have any such amendment declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible.

8

(c) The Company will use its best efforts to register or qualify the sale of the Securities in such States as shall be reasonably requested by the Managing Agents. 

(d)  The Company will deliver to the Managing Agents as many copies of the Preliminary Prospectus the Managing Agents may reasonably request during the period following the filing of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto. The Company will deliver to the Managing Agents as many copies of the Final Prospectus and each post-effective amendment of the Registration Statement, as the Managing Agents may reasonably request during the period of the offering and for ninety (90) days after the closing date,

(e)  The Company will file with the Commission and any appropriate State securities commissioners any sales and other reports required by the rules and regulations of such agencies and will promptly supply copies to the Managing Agents.

(f)  The Company will notify the Managing Agents a reasonable amount of time in advance of any additional issuance of shares following a successful closing, for a period of two years following the Final Closing Date, except upon the issuance of shares underlying warrants outstanding on the closing date and shares issued pursuant to any duly adopted directors or employees stock or stock option or equivalent plan, the issuance of which Company will notify the Managing Agents within five business days following such issuance.

 
6.  Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Indemnification by Company. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Managing Agent and each participating dealer against any and all loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, to which such Managing Agent or participating dealer may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, or liability (or action with respect thereto) arises out of or is based upon (a) any violation of any registration requirements; (b) any improper use of sales literature by the Company; (c) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement made by the Company in Section 2 hereof; (d) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (i) in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, Effective Registration or the Final Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) in any application or other document, executed by the Company specifically for such application or based upon written information furnished by the Company, filed in order to qualify the Securities under the securities laws of the states where filings were made (any such application, document, or information being hereinafter called “Blue Sky Application”); or (e) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Effective Prospectus, or the Final Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Blue Sky Application a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and shall reimburse the Managing Agents and each participating dealer for any legal or other reasonable expenses incurred by the Managing Agents and participating dealer in connection with investigating or defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, notwithstanding the possibility that payments for such expenses might later be held to be improper, in which case the person receiving them shall promptly refund them; except that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through the Managing Agents or participating dealer by or on behalf of the Managing Agents or participating dealer specifically for use in the preparation of the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Effective Prospectus and the Final Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Blue Sky Application.
 
 
9

(b) Indemnification by Managing Agents. The Managing Agents shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any and all loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, to which the Company may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action in respect thereto) arises out of or is based upon (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (i) in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Effective Prospectus or the Final Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) in any Blue Sky Application; or (b) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospective, the Effective Prospectus or the Final Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Blue Sky Application a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; except that such indemnification shall be available in each such case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon information and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through the Managing Agents or on behalf of the Managing Agents specifically for use in the preparation thereof; and shall reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with the investigation or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.
 
(c) Right to Provide Defense. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 6(a) or 6(b) above of written notice of a claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such section, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any liability which it may have to an indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnifying party did not otherwise have knowledge of the claim or the commencement of the action and the indemnifying party’s ability to defend against the claim or action was prejudiced by such failure. Such failure shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any other liability which it may have to the indemnified party or any person identified in Section 6(d) below. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under such section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; except that the indemnified party shall have the right to employ counsel to represent the indemnified party who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the indemnified party under this Section 6 if, in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party, it is advisable for the indemnified party to be represented by separate counsel, and in that event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be by the indemnifying party. The indemnified party may, but shall not be obligated to, participate in the defense at its own expense with its own counsel. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Company shall promptly reimburse, or advance if so requested by the Managing Agents, any and all reasonable and accountable attorney fees and expenses incurred, or to be incurred, by the Managing Agents under this Section 6.
 

10

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Sections 6(a) and 6(b) of this Agreement is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, or liabilities referred to in Sections 6(a) or 6(b) above (a) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Managing Agents or participating dealers on the other from the offering of the Securities; or (b) if the allocation provided by clause (a) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits referred to in clause (a) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Managing Agents or participating dealers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Managing Agents or participating dealers shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total compensation received by the Managing Agents or participating dealers under this Agreement. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Managing Agents, or the participating dealers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. For purposes of this Section 6(d), the term “damages” shall include reasonable counsel fees or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company, the Managing Agents, or participating dealers in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of the contribution provisions of this Section 6(d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), no Managing Agent or participating dealer shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Managing Agent or participating dealer has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue statements or omissions. No person adjudged 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. Under this Section 6(d), each Managing Agent’s obligations to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. Each party entitled to contribution agrees that upon the service of a summons or other initial legal process upon it in any action instituted against it in respect of which contribution may be sought, it shall promptly give written notice of such service to the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission so to notify such party or parties of any such service shall not relieve the party from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it may have hereunder or otherwise (except as specifically provided in Section 6(d) hereof).
 
 
11

(e) Extension of Obligations. The obligations of the Company under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any other liability which the Company may otherwise have, and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Managing Agent within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the obligations of the Managing Agents under this Section shall be in addition to any liability that the respective Managing Agent may otherwise have, and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director of the Company (including any person who, with his consent, is named in the Registration Statement as about to become a director of the Company), to each officer of the Company who has signed the Registration Statement, and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act.
