4.3  Reporting Status. So long as any Purchaser beneficially owns any of the Securities, the Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination.
 
4.4  Reservation of Common Stock. The Company has currently 8,739,950 shares of Common Stock duly authorized and reserved for issuance pursuant to the conversion of the Preferred Shares and the exercise of the Warrants. Such shares, as well as any additional shares of Common Stock subsequently authorized by the Company's stockholders and Board of Directors for issuance pursuant to the conversion of the Preferred Shares, and, in the case of the Warrant Shares, upon the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms thereof, as applicable, shall be reserved by the Company, and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Conversion Shares, upon approval of the Proposal, the Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.

The Company further agrees, if, following the effective date of a registration statement covering the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares, the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other trading market, it will include in such application all of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is reasonably necessary to cause all of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed on such other trading market as promptly as possible. The Company will take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a trading market and will comply in all respects with the Company's reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the trading market.
 
4.6  Proxy Statement; Stockholders Meeting.
 
(i)  Promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement the Company shall take all action necessary to call a meeting of its stockholders (the "Stockholders Meeting"), which shall occur promptly following the Company’s next annual stockholders meeting scheduled for June 23, 2005, but not later than September 30, 2005 (the "Stockholders Meeting Deadline"), for the purpose of seeking approval of the Company's stockholders to certain actions including, without limitation, the amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock to not less than 100,000,000 (the “Proposal”). In connection therewith, the Company will promptly prepare and file with the SEC proxy materials (including a proxy statement and form of proxy) for use at the Stockholders Meeting and, after receiving and promptly responding to any comments of the SEC thereon, shall promptly mail such proxy materials to the stockholders of the Company. Each Purchaser shall promptly furnish in writing to the Company such information relating to such Purchaser and its investment in the Company as the Company may reasonably request for inclusion in the Proxy Statement. The Company will comply with Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder in relation to any proxy statement (as amended or supplemented, the "Proxy Statement") and any form of proxy to be sent to the stockholders of the Company in connection with the Stockholders Meeting, and the Proxy Statement shall not, on the date that the Proxy Statement (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) is first mailed to stockholders or at the time of the Stockholders Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein not false or misleading, or omit to state any material fact necessary to correct any statement in any earlier communication with respect to the solicitation of proxies or the Stockholders Meeting which has become false or misleading. If the Company should discover at any time prior to the Stockholders Meeting, any event relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective affiliates, officers or directors that is required to be set forth in a supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement, in addition to the Company's obligations under the Exchange Act, the Company will promptly inform the Purchasers thereof.
 
(ii)  Subject to their fiduciary obligations under applicable law (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors after consultation with the Company's outside counsel), the Company's Board of Directors shall recommend to the Company's stockholders (and, subject to their fiduciary obligations, not revoke or amend such recommendation) that the stockholders vote in favor of the Proposal and shall cause the Company to take all commercially reasonable action to solicit the approval of the stockholders for the Proposal. Whether or not the Company's Board of Directors determines at any time after the date hereof that, due to its fiduciary duties, it must revoke or amend its recommendation to the Company's stockholders, the Company shall be required to, and will take, in accordance with applicable law and its Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws, all action necessary to convene the Stockholders Meeting as promptly as practicable, but no later than the Stockholders Meeting Deadline, to consider and vote upon the approval of the Proposal.
 
4.7  Right of First Refusal on Future Financings. From the date hereof until one year after the Closing Date, upon any financing by the Company of its Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (a "Subsequent Financing"), each Purchaser shall have the right to participate in up to 50% of such Subsequent Financing. At least five (5) business 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 one business 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, the Person with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected, and attached to which shall be a term sheet or similar document relating thereto. Each Purchaser shall notify the Company by 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) business day after their receipt of the Subsequent Financing Notice of its willingness to provide the Subsequent Financing on the terms described in the Subsequent Financing Notice, subject to completion of mutually acceptable documentation. If one or more Purchasers shall fail to so notify the Company of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the Purchasers agreeing to participate in the Subsequent Financing (the "Participating Purchasers") shall have the right to provide all of the Subsequent Financing. If one or more Purchasers fail to notify the Company of their willingness to provide all of the Subsequent Financing and the Participating Purchasers do not agree to provide all of the Subsequent Financing, the Company may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and to the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice; provided that the Company must provide the Purchasers with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Purchasers will again have the right of first refusal set forth above in this Section 4.7, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within 60 business days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice with the Person identified in the Subsequent Financing Notice. In the event the Company receives responses to Subsequent Financing Notices from Purchasers seeking to purchase more than the financing sought by the Company in the Subsequent Financing such Purchasers shall have the right to purchase their Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to be issued in such Subsequent Financing. "Pro Rata Portion" is the ratio of (x) the amount invested by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement (the "Subscription Amount") and (y) the aggregate sum of all of the Subscription Amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.7 shall not apply in respect of the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock or options to employees, consultants, officers or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose, (b) securities upon the exercise of or conversion of any convertible securities, options or warrants issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Agreement and (c) securities to a strategic partner in a transaction, the primary purpose of which is not the raising of capital and (d) securities to a lender in connection with the provision of credit to the Company. "Common Stock Equivalents" means any securities of the Company or its subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, rights, options, warrants or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock.
 
4.8  Information. The Company agrees to make available the following reports to each Purchaser until such Purchaser transfers, assigns or sells all of its Securities in transactions in which the transferee is (unless such transferee is an affiliate of the Company) not subject to securities law resale restrictions: (a) within three (3) business days after the filing with the SEC, a copy of its Annual Report on Form 10-K, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, any proxy statements and any Current Reports on Form 8-K; and (b) within one (1) business day after release, copies of all press releases issued by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Company further agrees to promptly provide to any Purchaser any information with respect to the Company, its properties, or its business or Purchaser's investment as such Purchaser may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to give any Purchaser any material nonpublic information. If any information requested by a Purchaser from the Company contains material nonpublic information, the Company shall inform the Purchaser in writing that the information requested contains material nonpublic information and shall in no event provide such information to Purchaser without the express written consent of such Purchaser after being so informed.
 
4.9  Conversion Limit. In no event shall any Purchaser have the right (i) to convert Preferred Shares or the Warrant Shares, or (ii) to vote the Preferred Shares, Conversion Shares, or Warrant Shares, to the extent that such right to convert Preferred Shares or the Warrant Shares, or to vote the Preferred Shares, Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, would result in the Purchaser and its affiliates together beneficially owning more than 4.95% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of this subparagraph, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and Regulation 13D-G thereunder. The restriction contained in this Section 4.9 may not be altered, amended, deleted or changed in any manner whatsoever unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and the Purchaser shall approve, in writing, such alteration, amendment, deletion or change.
 
4.10  Corporate Existence. So long as any Purchaser beneficially owns any Securities, the Company shall maintain its corporate existence, except in the event of a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, as long as the surviving or successor entity in such transaction assumes the Company's obligations hereunder and under the agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith.
 
4.11  Hedging Transactions. No Purchaser has an existing short position with respect to the Company’s common stock (the “Common Shares”). Each Purchaser agrees not to, directly or indirectly, enter into any short sales with respect to the Common Shares prior to the date on which such Purchaser is entitled to sell, transfer the number of shares of Preferred Stock as to which such Purchaser proposes to establish a short position. This Section 4.11 shall not prohibit Purchaser from at any time entering into options contracts with respect to the Common Shares, including puts and calls including delivering Preferred Stock in satisfaction of any exercised options.
 
4.12  Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the proceeds of the sale of the Securities for working capital needs consistent with financial budgets approved from time to time by the Company's Board of Directors.
 
ARTICLE V  
 
LEGEND REMOVAL, TRANSFER, CERTAIN SALES, ADDITIONAL SHARES
 
5.1  Removal of Legend. The Legend shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such Legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is stamped, and a certificate for a security shall be originally issued without the Legend, if, (a) the sale of such Security is registered under the Securities Act, (b) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions and reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel (the reasonable cost of which shall be borne by the Company if, after one (1) year, neither an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or Rule 144 is available in connection with such sale) to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements or (c) such Security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 and the holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the Security can be so sold without restriction or (d) such Security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k). 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. Each Purchaser agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the Legend has been removed, or which were originally issued without the Legend, pursuant to an effective registration statement, in accordance with the manner of distribution described in such registration statement and to deliver a prospectus in connection with such sale, or in compliance with an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. In the event the Legend is removed from any Security or any Security is issued without the Legend and the Security is to be disposed of other than pursuant to the registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144, then prior to, and as a condition to, such disposition such Security shall be relegended as provided herein in connection with any disposition if the subsequent transfer thereof would be restricted under the Securities Act. Also, in the event the Legend is removed from any Security or any Security is issued without the Legend and thereafter the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the resale of such Security is suspended or the Company determines that a supplement or amendment thereto is required by applicable securities laws, then upon reasonable advance notice to Purchaser holding such Security, the Company may require that the Legend be placed on any such Security that cannot then be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 or with respect to which the opinion referred to in clause (b) next above has not been rendered, which Legend shall be removed when such Security may be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 or such holder provides the opinion with respect thereto described in clause (b) next above.
 
5.2  Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company agrees that following the effective date of the registration statement or at such time as such legend is no longer required under Section 5.1, it will, no later than five trading days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company's transfer agent of a certificate representing Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the "Legend Removal Date"), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends, registered in the name of each Purchaser or its nominee, for the Conversion Shares, and for the Warrant Shares in such amounts determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrants. The Company covenants that no instruction other than such instructions referred to in this ARTICLE V, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2.6 hereof in the case of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares under the Securities Act, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way each Purchaser's obligations and agreement set forth in Section 5.1 hereof to resell the Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement and to deliver a prospectus in connection with such sale or in compliance with an exemption from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws. If (a) a Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, which opinion of counsel shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions and reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel (the reasonable cost of which shall be borne by the Company if, after one (1) year, neither an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or Rule 144 is available in connection with such sale), to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration or (b) a Purchaser transfers Securities to an affiliate which is an accredited investor (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and which delivers to the Company in written form the same representations, warranties and covenants made by Purchaser hereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name and in such denomination as specified by such Purchaser. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Purchaser by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this ARTICLE V will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this ARTICLE V, that a Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

If to any other Purchaser, to such address set forth under such Purchaser's name on the signature page hereto executed by such Purchaser. Each party shall provide notice to the other parties of any change in address.
 
8.7  Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns. Neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Purchaser may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any of its "affiliates," as that term is defined under the Securities Act, without the consent of the Company so long as such affiliate is an accredited investor (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement. This provision shall not limit each Purchaser's right to transfer the Securities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or to assign such Purchaser's rights hereunder to any such transferee. In that regard, if Purchaser sells all or part of its Common Shares to someone that acquires the shares subject to restrictions on transferability (other than restrictions, if any, arising out of the transferee's status as an affiliate of the Company), Purchaser shall be permitted to assign its rights hereunder, in whole or in part, to such transferee.
 
8.8  Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.
 
8.9  Survival; Indemnification. The representations and warranties of the Company and the agreements and covenants shall survive the closing hereunder notwithstanding any due diligence investigation conducted by or on behalf of Purchaser. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser and each of each Purchaser's officers, directors, employees, partners, agents and affiliates from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim or proceeding, pending or threatened and the costs of enforcement thereof) (collectively, "Losses") arising as a result of or related to any breach or alleged breach by the Company of any of its representations or covenants set forth herein, including advancement of expenses as they are incurred. The representations and warranties of the Purchasers shall survive the Closing hereunder and each Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its officers, directors, employees, partners, agents and affiliates from and against any and all Losses arising as a result of the breach of such Purchaser's representations and warranties.
 
8.10  Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
8.11  Expenses. The Company will reimburse the Purchasers collectively for up to FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($50,000) for actual documented legal expenses, consulting expenses, due diligence expenses and travel expenses.
 
8.12  Remedies. No provision of this Agreement providing for any remedy to a Purchaser shall limit any remedy which would otherwise be available to such Purchaser at law or in equity. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit any rights a Purchaser may have with any applicable federal or state securities laws with respect to the investment contemplated hereby. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Purchaser. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a material breach of its obligations under this Agreement will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Agreement, that a Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate compliance, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
 
8.13  Final Agreement. This Agreement, when executed by the parties hereto, shall constitute the final agreement between the parties and upon such execution Purchasers and the Company accept the terms hereof and have no cause of action against each other for prior negotiations preceding the execution of this Agreement.

TAX MATTERS
 

 
·  
The Company has received a preliminary report from Ernst & Young LLP, which discusses the impact of IRS Section 382, on the Company’s current Net Operating Losses (NOLs). The preliminary report states that there has been no limitations on the Company’s NOLs from equity or equity equivalent transactions through June 30, 2004. The report does not take into account this transaction and its impact on the potential NOL limitation.
 
·  
The Company is currently in the process of analyzing the impact of withholding taxes which should have been paid on behalf of certain non-US entities in regard to the interest payments made to those entities. The Company does not currently have an estimate on the amount to be withheld.
