The Company shall not and shall use its best efforts to ensure that no Affiliate shall 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 Purchaser. 4.7 FURNISHING OF RULE 144(C) MATERIALS. The Company shall, for so long as any of the Securities remains outstanding and during any period in which the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, make available to any registered holder of the Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Securities from such Person, such information in accordance with Rule 144(c) promulgated under the Securities Act as is required to sell the Securities under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. 4.8 SOLICITATION MATERIALS.

Appendix II to the Initial Warrant attached hereto and made a part hereof sets forth the procedures with respect to the exercise of the Initial Warrant, including the forms of Notice of Exercise to be provided upon exercise, instructions as to the procedures for exercise and such other information and instructions as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Purchaser or its permitted transferee(s) to exercise the right of exercise smoothly and expeditiously. 4.10 PROHIBITION ON CERTAIN ACTIONS.

The Company agrees that, at any time the conversion price of the Debentures is such that the number of Escrow Shares with respect to the Debentures is less than 200% of the number of shares of Common Stock that would be needed to satisfy full conversion of all of the Debentures given the then current conversion price (the "FULL CONVERSION SHARES"), upon ten (10) Business Days written notice of such circumstance to the Company by the Purchasers and/or Escrow Agent, the Company shall issue additional share certificates in the names of each of the Purchasers in denominations of 10,000 shares, and deliver same to the Escrow Agent, such that the new number of Escrow Shares with respect to the Debentures is equal to 200% of the Full Conversion Shares. 15 4.14 ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. To effectuate the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Debentures, the Escrow Agreement, and the Warrant, the Company hereby agrees to give a power of attorney as is evidenced by EXHIBIT F and EXHIBIT K annexed hereto. All acts done under such power of attorney are hereby ratified and approved and neither the Attorney-in-Fact nor any designee or agent thereof shall be liable for any acts of commission or omission, for any error of judgment or for any mistake of fact or law, as long as the Attorney-in-Fact is operating within the scope of the power of attorney and this Agreement and its exhibits. The power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable while any of the Debentures remain unconverted, any of the Warrant or Initial Warrant remains unexercised or any portion of this Agreement, the Initial Escrow Agreement or the Escrow Agreement remains unsatisfied. In addition, the Company shall give the Attorney-in-Fact resolutions executed by the Board of Directors of the Company which authorize transfers of the Debentures, the Initial Warrant and the Warrants and future issuances of the Underlying Shares for the Debentures, the Warrant Shares for the Warrant, and the Initial Warrant Shares for the Initial Warrant and which resolutions state that they are irrevocable while any of the Debentures remain unconverted, any of the Warrant or Initial Warrant remains unexercised or any portion of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement or Initial Escrow Agreement remains unsatisfied. 4.15 INDEMNIFICATION. (a) Indemnification (i) The Company shall, notwithstanding termination of this Agreement and without limitation as to time, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and its officers, directors, agents, employees and affiliates, each Person who controls the Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each such Person, a "CONTROL PERSON") and the officers, directors, agents, employees and affiliates of each such Control Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, costs of preparation and attorneys' fees) and expenses (collectively, "LOSSES"), as incurred, arising out of, or relating to, a breach or breaches of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by the Company under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. (ii) The Purchaser, severally and not jointly, shall notwithstanding termination of this Agreement and without limitation as to time, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors, agents and employees, each Control Person and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each Control Person, to the fullest extent permitted by application law, from and against any and all Losses, as incurred, arising out of, or relating to, a breach or breaches of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by the Purchaser under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. (b) CONDUCT OF INDEMNIFICATION PROCEEDINGS. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY"), such Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all 16 fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impeded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of the claim against the Indemnified Party but will retain the right to control the overall Proceedings out of which the claim arose and such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding. All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party to which the Indemnified Party is entitled hereunder (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Business Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party. No right of indemnification under this SECTION 4.15 shall be available as to a particular Indemnified Party if there is a non-appealable final judicial determination that such Losses arise solely out of the negligence or bad faith of such Indemnified Party in performing the obligations of such Indemnified Party under this Agreement or a breach by such Indemnified Party of its obligations under this Agreement. (c) CONTRIBUTION. If a claim for indemnification under this SECTION 4.15(A) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses in respect of which this SECTION 4.15 would apply by its terms (other than by reason of exceptions provided in this SECTION 4.15(C)), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is 17 appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other and the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether there was a judicial determination that such Losses arise in part out of the negligence or bad faith of the Indemnified Party in performing the obligations of such Indemnified Party under this Agreement or the Indemnified Party's breach of its obligations under this Agreement. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include any attorneys' or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party. (d) NON-EXCLUSIVITY. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any obligation or liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties. 4.16 EXCLUSIVITY. During the five (5) year period commencing on the Original Issuance Date (as defined in the Debentures), the Company and its Affiliates shall not offer or issue any convertible security or instrument or any equity line of credit, other than to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates. 4.17 BLUE SKY QUALIFICATION. In accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall qualify the Underlying Shares and the Warrant Shares under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Purchaser may reasonably request and shall continue such qualification at all times through the second anniversary of the Closing Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries shall be required in connection therewith to qualify as a foreign corporation where they are not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject the Company to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject. 4.18 PURCHASER'S OWNERSHIP OF COMMON STOCK. In addition to and not in lieu of the limitations on conversion set forth in the Debentures, the Warrant and the Initial Warrant, the conversion rights and exercise rights of the Purchaser set forth in the Debentures, the Warrant and the Initial Warrant shall be limited, solely to the extent required, from time to time, such that, unless the Purchaser gives written notice 75 days in advance to the Company of the Purchaser's intention to exceed the Limitation on Conversion as defined herein, with respect to all or a specified amount of the Debentures and the corresponding number of the Underlying Shares, in no instance shall the Purchaser (singularly, together with Persons who in the determination of the Purchaser, together with the Purchaser, constitute a group as defined in Rule 13d-5 of the Exchange Act) be entitled to convert the Debentures, the Warrant and the Initial Warrant to the extent such conversion or exercise, as the case may be, would result in the Purchaser beneficially owning more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. For these purposes, beneficial ownership shall be defined and calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3, promulgated under the Exchange Act (the foregoing being herein referred to as the "LIMITATION ON CONVERSION"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the 18 Limitation on Conversion shall not apply to any forced or automatic conversion pursuant to this Agreement or the Debentures; and PROVIDED, FURTHER that if the Purchaser shall have declared an Event of Default and, if a cure period is provided, the Company shall not have properly and fully cured such Event of Default within any such cure period, the provisions of this Section 4.18 shall be null and void from and after such date. The Company shall, promptly upon its receipt of a Notice of Conversion tendered by the Purchaser (or its sole designee) for the Debentures, as applicable, and upon its receipt of a Notice of Exercise under the terms of the Warrant or the Initial Warrant, notify the Purchaser by telephone and by facsimile of the number of Underlying Shares, Warrant Shares and Initial Warrant Shares, as the case may be, which would be issuable to the Purchaser (or its sole designee, as the case may be) if the conversion requested in such Notice of Conversion or exercise requested in such Notice of Exercise were effected in full and the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding giving full effect to such conversion or exercise, as the case may be, whereupon, in accordance with the Debentures and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Warrant or the Initial Warrant, the Purchaser may within one (1) Business Day of its receipt of the Company notice required by this Section 4.18 by facsimile revoke such conversion or exercise to the extent (in whole or in part) that the Purchaser determines that such conversion or exercise would result in the ownership by the Purchaser of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Limitation on Conversion. 4.19 PURCHASER'S RIGHTS IF TRADING IN COMMON STOCK IS SUSPENDED. In the event that at any time after the Closing and during the period when the Registration Statement is to remain effective under the Securities Act in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, trading in the shares of the Common Stock is suspended (and not reinstated within ten (10) Trading Days) on such stock exchange or market upon which the Common Stock is then listed for trading (other than as a result of the suspension of trading in securities on such market generally or temporary suspensions pending the release of material information), or the Common Stock is delisted from the OTCBB (and not reinstated within ten (10) Trading Days), then, at the option of the Purchaser exercisable by giving written notice to the Company, the Company shall redeem, as applicable, all of the Debentures, Warrant, Initial Warrant, Underlying Shares, Initial Warrant Shares and Warrant Shares owned by the Purchaser at an aggregate purchase price equal to the sum of: (i) the product of (1) the average Per Share Market Value for the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding (a) the day of such notice, (b) the date of payment in full of the repurchase price calculated under this SECTION 4.19, or (c) the day when the Common Stock was suspended, delisted or deleted from trading, whichever is greater, multiplied by (2) the aggregate number of Underlying Shares, Initial Warrant Shares and Warrant Shares owned by the Purchaser; (ii) the greater of (A) the outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest on the Debentures owned by the Purchaser and (B) the product of (1) the average Per Share Market Value for the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding (a) the day of such notice, (b) the date of payment in full of the repurchase price calculated under this SECTION 4.19, or (c) the day when the Common Stock was suspended, delisted or deleted from trading, whichever is greater, multiplied by (2) the aggregate number of Underlying Shares issuable upon the conversion of the outstanding Debentures owned by the Purchaser; 19 (iii) the product of (A) the difference, but not below zero, between (1) the average Per Share Market Value for the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding (a) the day of such notice, (b) the date of payment in full of the repurchase price calculated under this SECTION 4.19, or (c) the day when the Common Stock was suspended, delisted or deleted from trading, whichever is greater, and (2) the then-current exercise price of the Warrant, multiplied by (B) the aggregate number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant owned by the Purchaser; (iv) the product of (A) the difference, but not below zero, between (1) the average Per Share Market Value for the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding (a) the day of such notice, (b) the date of payment in full of the repurchase price calculated under this SECTION 4.19, or (c) the day when the Common Stock was suspended, delisted or deleted from trading, whichever is great, and (2) the then-current exercise price of the Initial Warrant, multiplied by (B) the aggregate number of Initial Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Initial Warrant owned by the Purchaser; and (v) interest on such amounts set forth in (i) - (iv) above accruing from the seventh (7th) day after such notice until the repurchase price under this Section 4.19 is paid in full, at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum. 4.20 NO VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE LAW. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the redemption of the Debentures, the Warrant, the Initial Warrant, the Underlying Shares, the Initial Warrant Shares or the Warrant Shares otherwise required under this Agreement, the Debentures, the Warrant, the Initial Warrant, the Initial Registration Rights Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement would be prohibited by the relevant provisions of Delaware law, such redemption shall be effected as soon as it is permitted under such law; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that interest payable by the Company with respect to any such redemption shall accrue in accordance with Section 4.19. 4.21 REDEMPTION RESTRICTIONS. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any redemption of the Debentures, the Warrant, the Initial Warrant, Underlying Shares, the Initial Warrant Shares or the Warrant Shares otherwise required under this Agreement, the Debentures, the Warrant, the Initial Warrant, the Registration Rights Agreement, or the Initial Registration Rights Agreement would be prohibited in the absence of consent from any lender to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, or by the holders of any class of securities of the Company, the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain such consent as promptly as practicable after any such redemption is required. Interest payable by the Company with respect to any such redemption shall accrue in accordance with Section 4.19 until such consent is obtained. Nothing contained in this Section 4.21 shall be construed as a waiver by the Purchaser of any rights they may have by virtue of any breach of any representation or warranty of the Company herein as to the absence of any requirement to obtain any such consent. 4.22 NO OTHER REGISTRATION RIGHTS. During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Closing Date, the Company shall not file any registration statement that provides for the registration of shares of Common Stock to be sold by securityholders of the Company, other than the Purchaser and/or its respective Affiliates or assigns, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser or its assigns, provided, however, that the limitation on the right to file registration statements contained in this Section 4.22 shall not 20 apply to registration statements relating solely to (i) employee benefit plans, notwithstanding the inclusion of a resale prospectus for securities received under any such employee benefit plan, or (ii) business combinations not otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. 4.23 MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION. Until the earlier of (a) the full conversion of the Debentures and (b) the Maturity Date (as that term is defined in the Debentures) of the Debentures, the Company and each Subsidiary will not, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, (i) consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person, or (ii) permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into it, unless (w) either (A) the Company shall be the survivor of such merger or consolidation or (B) the surviving Person shall expressly assume by supplemental agreement all of the obligations of the Company under the Debentures, the Initial Warrant, the Warrant and this Agreement; (x) immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such transactions (including any indebtedness incurred or anticipated to be incurred in connection with the transactions), no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (y) if the Company is not the surviving entity, such surviving entity's common shares will be listed on either The New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange, Nasdaq National Market or Nasdaq SmallCap Market, or the OTCBB on or prior to the closing of such transaction(s) and (z) the Company shall have delivered to Purchaser an officers* certificate and opinion of counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer complies with this Agreement, that the surviving Person agrees to be bound thereby and that all conditions precedent in this Agreement relating to such transaction(s) have been satisfied. 4.24 REGISTRATION OF ESCROW SHARES. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement and Initial Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and the Purchaser, the Company shall cause the Escrow Shares to be registered under the Securities Act, and so long as any of the Debentures remain unconverted or any of the Warrant or Initial Warrant remain unexercised, the Company agrees to keep such registration current with the Commission and with such states of the United States as any of the holders of the Debentures, the Initial Warrant or the Warrant shall reasonably request in writing. All costs and expenses of registration shall be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall take all necessary steps to register the Initial Warrant Shares under the Securities Act if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to SECTION 5.1 4.25 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. The Company understands and agrees that an Event of Default as contained in this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document will result in substantial economic loss to the Purchaser, which loss will be extremely difficult to calculate with precision. Therefore, if, for any reason, the Company fails to cure any Event of Default within the time, if any, given to cure such Event of Default, as compensation and liquidated damages for such default, and NOT as a penalty, the Company agrees to pay the Purchaser an amount obtained by multiplying the Purchase Price times two (2). The Company shall, upon demand, pay the Purchaser such liquidated damages by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Purchaser. Nothing herein shall limit the right of the Purchaser to pursue actual damages (less the amount of any liquidated damages received pursuant to the foregoing) for the Company*s failure to cure an Event of Default, consistent with the terms of this Agreement. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. 21 4.26 SHORT SALES. The Purchaser agrees that it will not enter into any Short Sales (as hereinafter defined) until the earlier to occur of the date that the Purchaser no longer owns the Debentures and the Maturity Date. For purpose hereof, a "SHORT SALE" shall mean a sale of Common Stock by the Purchaser that is marked as a short sale and that is made at a time when there is no equivalent offsetting long position in the Common Stock by the Purchaser. For the purposes of determining whether there is an equivalent offsetting long position in the Common Stock held by the Purchaser, shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures or exercise of the Warrant or the Initial Warrant shall be deemed to be held long by the Purchaser with respect to the Underlying Shares and/or Warrant Shares for which a Notice of Conversion or Notice of Exercise, as appropriate, is delivered within two (2) Trading Days following the Trading Day that such short sale is entered into. 4.27 FEES. The Company will pay the following fees and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and, except with respect to the escrow agent fee, regardless of whether the transactions contemplated under this Agreement are closed or otherwise completed: (a) to KGL (i) $25,000 for document preparation fees; and (ii) all reasonable disbursements and expenses incurred by KGL in connection therewith and (b) $5,000 to the Escrow Agent for the escrow agent fee. All fees and expenses will be paid at Closing and the Escrow Agent shall deduct such fees and expenses directly from escrow. 4.28 ADDITIONAL FEES.
