ARTICLE 1

1.1  Sale of the Securities. The Parties hereby agree that the Company shall repurchase the Securities as set forth herein, and the Sellers shall sell them to the Company, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. Upon payment of the Note Purchase Prices (as defined herein) by the Company to the Sellers pursuant to Section 1.3 (the "Note Closing"), subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, and on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, the Sellers shall sell to the Company, and the Company shall purchase from the Sellers, the Notes.

1.2  Instruments of Conveyance and Transfer. As soon as practicable after the Note Closing, the Sellers shall deliver the Notes to the Company. As soon as practicable after the Warrant Closing, the Sellers shall deliver the Warrants to the Company.


1.3  Consideration and Payment for the Notes and Warrants. In consideration for the Notes, the Company shall (i) pay each Seller an amount equal to the outstanding balance of principal and, accrued interest as of the Note Closing on such Seller’s respective Note plus a prepayment penalty equal to thirty percent (30%) of such outstanding balance which the Parties agree shall, as of March 30, 2007, be in the amounts set forth in Exhibit B, attached hereto (the “Note Cash Prices”), and (ii) issue to the Sellers three million, two hundred fifty thousand (3,250,000) shares of the Company’s restricted common stock as set forth in Exhibit D, attached hereto (the “Company Shares”) (collectively, the Note Cash Prices and the Company Shares shall constitute the “Note Purchase Prices”). In consideration for the Warrants, the Company shall pay to each Seller the respective amount set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Warrant Purchase Prices”). On or before March 30, 2007, the Company shall deliver Note Purchase Prices to the Sellers by payment of the Note Cash Prices and by delivering stock certificates to the Sellers evidencing their respective ownership of the Company Shares. On or before April 30, 2007, the Company shall deliver the Warrant Purchase Prices to Sellers. In the event the Company fails to deliver the Note Purchase Prices to the Sellers by March 30, 2007, this Agreement shall be deemed null and void, with no binding obligation on the part of either Party with respect to the sale of the Notes or the Warrants. In the event the Company fails to deliver the Warrant Purchase Prices to the Sellers by April 30, 2007, the provisions of this Agreement relating to the sale of the Warrants shall be deemed null and void, with no binding obligation on the part of either Party with respect to the sale of the Warrants.

1.4  Initial Purchase Documents. As of the Effective Date, provided that the Company makes the payments detailed in Exhibit E attached hereto (the “Monthly Note Payments”) and does not otherwise breach any material terms of this Agreement, (i) the Sellers shall have no further rights under the Initial Purchase Documents, (ii) the Company shall have no further obligations under the Initial Purchase Documents, and (iii) Gordon Davies shall have no further obligations or responsibilities under the Guaranty and Pledge Agreement dated June 23, 2005 and any amendments thereto. In the event, the Company fails to make the Monthly Note Payments or breaches any material terms of this Agreement (including any failure to pay the Note Purchase Prices by March 30, 2007 as required hereby, or failure to pay the Warrant Purchase Prices by April 30, 2007), the Initial Purchase Documents shall continue in full force and effect.

1.5  Release of Security Instruments. Within five (5) business days following the Note Closing, the Sellers shall execute and deliver to the Company any and all documents requested by the Company to evidence the release of security interests created by the Initial Purchase Documents in favor of the Sellers, or any of them, and to terminate all security instruments filed by them against any assets of the Company and Gordon Davies, individually, pursuant to the Initial Purchase Documents.

REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF SELLERS AND COMPANY

2.1  The Sellers hereby represent and warrant that:

(a)  Immediately upon Note Closing, and subject to the payment of the Note Purchase Prices to the Sellers, the Sellers shall deliver to the Company the Notes. Upon their transfer to the Company at the Note Closing, the Notes shall be free and clear of all liens, charges, security interests, pledges, encumbrances, charges, restrictions, liabilities, demands and claims, of any kind and nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect or contingent (collectively, “Liens”).

(e)  The Sellers will not sell or otherwise transfer the Company Shares without registration under the Act or an exemption therefrom and fully understand and agrees that the Sellers must bear the economic risk of investing in the Company Shares for an indefinite period of time because, among other reasons, the Company Shares have not been registered under the Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states or unless an exemption from such registration is available.

(d)  The Company represents that the Company Shares will initially be “restricted securities” (as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144"), that the Company Shares will include the foregoing restrictive legend, and, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, that the Company Shares cannot be sold unless registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and qualified by appropriate state securities regulators, or unless Sellers comply with an exemption from such registration and qualification (including, without limitation, compliance with Rule 144).

(e)   The Company is obligated to register the Company Shares in any qualifying registration statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission after the Note Closing (excluding any registration statements filed on Forms S-4 or S-8 or post-effective amendments to existing registration statements), so that holders of the Company Shares shall be entitled to sell the same simultaneously with and upon the terms and conditions as the securities sold for the account of the Company or other shareholders are being sold pursuant to any such registration statement, subject to such reasonable lockup provisions as may be proposed by the underwriter of said registration statement.

(f)  The Company makes no other representations or warranties with respect to the Company Shares or the Company.
