      THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT 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 TO SUCH EFFECT.      

      (c) Certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 5.1(b)), (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 Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Conversion Shares or Warrant 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 Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) 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 at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares such Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effectiveness Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 5.1(c), it will, no later than three (3) Business Days following the delivery by 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. 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 5.1.

      

      (d) Purchaser agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 5.1 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 there from.

ARTICLE VI

Termination

      Section 6.1   Termination by Mutual Consent. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date by the mutual written consent of the Company and the Purchaser.

      Section 6.2   Effect of Termination.  In the event of termination by the Company or the Purchaser, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other party and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be terminated without further action by any party.  If this Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 6.1 herein, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force and effect, except for Sections 8.1 and 8.2, and Article VII herein. Nothing in this Section 6.2 shall be deemed to release the Company or Purchaser from any liability for any breach under this Agreement, or to impair the rights of the Company or Purchaser to compel specific performance by the other party of its obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

Indemnification  

      Section 7.1   General Indemnity. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser (and its respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by Purchaser or any such Person as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company herein. Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company (and its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Company or any such Person as result of an y inaccuracy in or breach of the representations or warranties made Purchaser in Section 2.2 hereof.

      Section 7.2   Indemnification Procedure. Any party entitled to indemnification under this Article VII (an "indemnified party") will give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article VII except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying party may exist with respect to such action, proc eeding or claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.  In the event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such Person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified party's costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The indemnified p arty shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the indemnified party, which relates to such action or claim.  The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.  If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense.  The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding affected without its prior written consent.  Notwithstanding anything in this Article VII to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party's prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or c onsent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification required by this Article VII shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the indemnified party irrevocably agrees to refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

ARTICLE VIII

Miscellaneous
