2. Representations of Subscriber and the Company

2.1 Representations of Subscriber. In order to induce the Company to accept this subscription, Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company as follows:

(a) Authorization. Subscriber has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. If Subscriber is an entity, this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary actions of the board of directors, shareholders, partners, trustees, or other duly authorized acting body or person on the part of the Subscriber, and has been duly executed by an authorized officer or representative of the Subscriber. This Agreement is a legal, valid, and binding obligation of Subscriber enforceable against Subscriber in accordance with its terms.

(b) Public Filings. Subscriber has reviewed copies of the Company’s most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), including, specifically, the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 and the quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB for the quarters ended December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2005, the Company’s current reports on Form 8-K, and the Company’s registration statements on Form SB-2 (collectively, the “Public Filings”). Copies of all of these Public Filings are available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

(c) Risk Factors. SUBSCRIBER IS AWARE THAT AN INVESTMENT IN THE UNITS INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISKS. SUBSCRIBER HAS REVIEWED AND UNDERSTANDS THE RISK FACTORS CONTAINED IN THE PUBLIC FILINGS, INCLUDING THOSE CONTAINED IN THE COMPANY’S REGISTRATION STATEMENTS ON FORM SB-2.

(d) Due Diligence. Subscriber has been solely responsible for his, her or its own due diligence investigation of the Company and its business, and analysis of the merits and risks of the investment in the Units, and is not relying on anyone else’s analysis or investigation of the Company, its business or the merits and risks of the Units. Subscriber has had the opportunity to ask questions of and to receive answers from the Company and its executive officers concerning the Units and the affairs and prospects of the Company in general and desires no further information pertaining to the Company. All such questions, if any, have been answered to the full satisfaction of Subscriber. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no representations or warranties have been made to Subscriber by the Company or by any agent, employee, or affiliate of the Company, and in entering into this transaction Subscriber is not relying upon any information, other than contained in the Public Filings.

(e) Securities Law Representations and Warranties. Subscriber has been advised that the Securities are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), or applicable state securities laws, but are being offered and sold pursuant to exemptions from such laws, and that the Company’s reliance upon such exemptions based, in part, on Subscriber’s representations and warranties contained herein. Subscriber acknowledges the Company reliance on these representations.

(f) Purchase Entirely for Own Account. Subscriber is acquiring the Units solely for investment and not with a view to any offering, sale or distribution of any part thereof. Subscriber has no present intention of selling, granting participation in, or otherwise distributing the Units, subject, however, to any requirement of law that the disposition of Subscriber’s property shall at all times be within Subscriber’s control. Subscriber does not have any contract, understanding, agreement, or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer, or grant participation to such person, or to any third person, with respect to the Units or any portion thereof. Subscriber realizes that the basis for the exemptions from relevant securities laws may not be present if, notwithstanding such representations, Subscriber currently has in mind merely acquiring the Units for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. Subscriber does not have any such present intention.

(g) Sophistication. Subscriber has such knowledge and expertise in financial and business matters that Subscriber is capable of evaluating the merits and risks involved in an investment in the Units.

(h) Suitability; Ability to Bear Risk. The investment in the Units is suitable for Subscriber based upon its investment objectives and financial needs. Subscriber has adequate means and net worth for providing for its current financial needs and contingencies and has no need for liquidity of investment with respect to the Units. Subscriber’s overall commitment to investments that are illiquid or not readily marketable is not disproportionate to its net worth, and investment in the Units will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive. Subscriber is able to bear the substantial economic risks of an investment in the Units for an indefinite period of time, and can afford a complete loss of this investment.

(i) Professional Advice. Subscriber has been encouraged to consult his or her own financial advisor, legal counsel and tax accountant concerning this investment, including any tax implications. Subscriber has obtained, to the extent he, she or it deems necessary, personal professional advice with respect to the risks inherent in an investment in the common stock and the suitability of such investment in light of the Subscriber’s personal financial condition and investment needs. Unless the Subscriber has otherwise advised the Company in writing, the Subscriber did not employ the services of a purchaser representative, as defined in Regulation D under the 1933 Act, in connection with this investment.

(j) Restricted Securities. Subscriber understands that: (i) the Units have not been and are not being registered under the 1933 Act or state securities laws, but are being offered and sold pursuant to exemptions from such laws; (ii) the Units are and will be classified as “restricted securities”, as defined under the 1933 Act; (iii) the Units may not be sold or otherwise transferred unless they have been first registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, or unless exemptions from such registration provisions are available with respect to said resale or transfer; (iv) the Company is under no obligation to register the Units under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws, or to take any action to make any exemption from any such registration provisions available; (v) the Units and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Investor Warrants will bear a legend to the effect that the transfer of the securities represented thereby is subject to the provisions hereof and will have stop-transfer instructions placed with the transfer agent.

(k) Further Limitations on Disposition. Subscriber understands and agrees that Subscriber will not sell or otherwise transfer any of the Units, or any interest therein, unless and until (i) the Units shall have first been registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, or (ii) Subscriber shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and Subscriber shall have delivered to the Company, at the expense of Subscriber, a written opinion of counsel (which counsel and opinion (in form and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company), to the effect that the proposed sale or transfer is exempt from the registration provisions of the 1933 Act and all applicable state securities laws.

(l) Residency. Subscriber represents and warrants that the Subscriber is a bona fide resident of, and is domiciled in, the state so designated on the signature page hereto, and that the Units are being purchased solely for the beneficial interest of the Subscriber and not as nominee for, or on behalf of, or for the beneficial interest of, or with the intention to transfer to, any other person, trust, or organization.

(m) Trading Restrictions. Subscriber and each of its affiliates represents and warrants that the Subscriber and their affiliates will not actively trade in the Company’s common stock prior to the announcement of the Closing of the Offering.

(n) No Market Manipulation. No Subscriber has taken, and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or that might reasonably be expected to, cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of the common stock to facilitate the sale or resale of the common stock or affect the price at which the common stock may be issued or resold.

(o) Correctness of Representations. Each Subscriber represents as to such Subscriber that the foregoing representations and warranties are true and correct as of the date hereof and, unless a Subscriber otherwise notifies the Company prior to the Closing of the Offering shall be true and correct as of the Closing of the Offering.

(p) Survival. The foregoing representations and warranties shall survive the Closing Date for a period of two years.

2.2 Representations of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to and agrees with each Subscriber that:

(a) Due Incorporation. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has the requisite corporate power to own its properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, other than those jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Material Adverse Effect” shall mean a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, properties or business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(b) Outstanding Stock. All issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company has been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable.

(c) Authority; Enforceability. This Agreement and any other agreements delivered together with this Agreement or in connection herewith (collectively “Transaction Documents”) have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and are valid and binding agreements enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity. The Company has full corporate power and authority necessary to enter into and deliver the Transaction Documents and to perform its obligations hereunder.

(d) Consents. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court, governmental agency or body or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company nor the Company’s shareholders is required for the execution by the Company of the Transaction Documents and compliance and performance by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the issuance and sale of the Units.

(e) No Violation or Conflict. Assuming the representations and warranties of the Subscribers are true and correct, neither the issuance and sale of the Units nor the performance of the Company’s obligations under the Transaction Documents will:

(i) violate, conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default (or an event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would be reasonably likely to constitute a default) under (A) the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, (B) to the Company’s knowledge, any decree, judgment, order, law, treaty, rule, regulation or determination applicable to the Company of any court, governmental agency or body, or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company or over the properties or assets of the Company, or (C) the terms of any bond, debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness, or any agreement, stock option or other similar plan, indenture, lease, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the Company is a party, by which the Company is bound, or to which any of the properties of the Company is subject, in each case except for any violation, conflict, breach, or default of which would not have a Material Adverse Effect; or

(ii) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon the Securities or any of the assets of the Company except as described herein; or

(iii) result in the activation of any anti-dilution rights or a reset or repricing of any debt or security instrument of any other creditor or equity holder of the Company, nor result in the acceleration of the due date of any obligation of the Company; or

(iv) result in the activation of any piggy-back registration rights of any person or entity holding securities of the Company or having the right to receive securities of the Company.

(f) The Common Stock and Investor Warrants. The securities upon issuance:

(i) are, or will be, free and clear of any security interests, liens, claims or other encumbrances created by the Company, subject to restrictions upon transfer under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws;

(ii) have been, or will be, duly and validly authorized and on the date of issuance of the common stock and upon exercise of the Investor Warrants and will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable or if registered pursuant to the 1933 Act, and resold pursuant to an effective registration statement will be free trading and unrestricted);

(iii) will not have been issued or sold in violation of any preemptive or other similar rights of the holders of any securities of the Company;

(iv) will not subject the holders thereof to personal liability by reason of being such holders; and

(v) assuming the representations warranties of the Subscribers are true and correct, will not result in a violation of Section 5 under the 1933 Act.

(g) Litigation. There is no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation before any court, governmental agency or body, or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company that would affect the execution by the Company or the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction Documents. There is no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, basis for or threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation before any court, governmental agency or body, or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company which litigation if adversely determined would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(h) Reporting Company. The Company is a publicly-held company subject to reporting obligations pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) and has a class of common shares registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the 1934 Act.

(i) No Market Manipulation.

(k) Stop Transfer. The Company will not issue any stop transfer order or other order impeding the sale, resale or delivery of any of the Securities, except as may be required by any applicable federal or state securities laws and unless contemporaneous notice of such instruction is given to the Subscriber.

(l) Defaults. The Company is not in violation of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws. The Company is (i) not in default under or in violation of any other material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties are bound or affected, which default or violation would have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) not in default with respect to any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body or subject to or party to any order of any court or governmental authority arising out of any action, suit or proceeding under any statute or other law respecting antitrust, monopoly, restraint of trade, unfair competition or similar matters, or (iii) to the Company’s knowledge not in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority which violation would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(m) No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor to the Company’s knowledge any person acting on its behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offer of the Units pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions. Nor will the Company take any action or steps that would cause the offer or issuance of the Units to be integrated with other offerings. The Company will not conduct any offering other than the transactions contemplated hereby that will be integrated with the offer or issuance of the Securities.

(n) No General Solicitation. Neither the Company, nor to the Company’s knowledge any person acting on its behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under the 1933 Act) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities.

(c) The term “Holder” means any person owning or having the right to acquire Registrable Securities;

5.2 Registration and Liquidated Damages.

The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act within 90 days after the Closing of the Offering (or within 150 days after the Closing of the Offering if the registration statement receives a review by the Commission) (the “Effectiveness Date”).
