The Company has or will have taken all necessary corporate action, including, without limitation, obtaining the approval of its Board of Directors and stockholders, for the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and the Financing contemplated hereby unless a waiver there from has been obtained; provided that, if the terms of such waiver require stockholder ratification of the issuance, Europa shall receive an irrevocable proxy from each of the Company's executive officers and directors solely for the purpose of voting in favor of such ratification); In providing the Services pursuant to this Agreement, Europa shall be an independent contractor, and no party to this Agreement shall make any representations or statements indicating or suggesting that any joint venture, partnership, affiliation, or other such relationship exist between Europa and the Company. Europa has no responsibility for the trading activity of Europa Investor(s) during the term of this Agreement or following the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

Europa and the Company agree and acknowledge that the decision to consummate a Financing Transaction shall be in the Company's sole and absolute discretion. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Europa and each Selected Dealer, if any, and their respective stockholders, directors, officers, agents and controlling persons (an "Indemnified Party") against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (and all actions in respect thereof), and to reimburse Europa for reasonable legal fees and related expenses as incurred (including, but not limited to the costs of investigating, preparing or defending any such action or claim whether or not in connection with litigation in which Europa is a party and the costs of giving testimony or furnishing documents in response to a subpoena or otherwise), caused by or arising out of (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the documents, provided by the Company, related to the Financing or the omission or alleged omission there from of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement of a material fact or alleged untrue statement or a material fact, or the omission of a material fact provided by Affiliated in writing to the Company in connection with its Services or any Financing), (ii) any violation by the Company of the federal securities laws or the securities laws of any states, or otherwise arising out of Europa's engagement hereunder, except in respect of any matters as to which Europa shall have been adjudicated to have acted with gross negligence or except in respect of any information that was supplied by Europa or its Selected Dealers, or (iii) any breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agency Agreement. 17

Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party under this Section 16 of notice of the commencement of any action, the indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Section 16, notify in writing the Company of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the Company will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Section 16 except to the extent the defense of the claim is prejudiced. In case any such action is brought against an Indemnified Party, and it notifies the Company of the commencement thereof, the Company will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, subject to the provisions herein stated, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Company to the Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Section 16 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation (provided the Company has been advised in writing that such investigation is being undertaken). The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of the Company if the Company has assumed the defense of the action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company if (i) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the Company (which it shall have no obligation to do) or (ii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party or Parties and the Company and, in the reasonable judgment of counsel for the Indemnified Party, it is advisable for the Indemnified Party or Parties to be represented by separate counsel due to material conflict of interest (in which case the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of an Indemnified Party or Parties), it being understood, however, that the Company shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys for all the Indemnified Parties. No settlement by an Indemnified Party of any action against an Indemnified Party shall be made without the Company's consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld. No settlement of any action against an Indemnified Party by the Company shall be made unless such an Indemnified Party is fully and completely released in connection therewith. To provide for just and equitable contribution, if (i) an Indemnified Party makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 13 but it is found in a final judicial determination, not subject to further appeal, that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, even though this Agency Agreement expressly provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) any indemnified or indemnifying party seeks contribution under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, or otherwise, then the Company (including for this purpose any contribution made by or on behalf of any officer, director, employee or agent for the Company, or any controlling person of the Company), on the one hand, and Europa and any Selected Dealers (including for this purpose any contribution by or on behalf of an indemnified party), on the other hand, shall contribute to the losses, liabilities, claims, damages, and expenses whatsoever to which any of them may be subject, in such proportions as are appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and Europa and the Selected Dealers, on the other hand; provided, however, that if applicable law does not permit such allocation, then other relevant equitable considerations such as the relative fault of the Company and Europa and the Selected Dealers in connection with the facts which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages, and expenses shall also be considered. In no case shall Europa or a Selected Dealer be responsible for a portion of the contribution obligation in excess of the compensation received by it or the Selected Dealer Agreement, as the case may be. No person guilty of a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 16, each person, if any, who controls Europa or a Selected Dealer within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20(a) of the 1934 Act and each officer, director, shareholder, employee and agent of Affiliated or a Selected Dealer, shall have the same rights to contribution as Europa or the Selected Dealer, and each 18
EUROPA SECURITIES LLC 800 Village Square Crossing, Suite 121 TELEPHONE ###-###-#### PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA 33410 FACSIMILE ###-###-####
person, if any who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20(a) of the 1934 Act and each officer, director, employee and agent of the Company, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions of this Section 16. Anything in this Section 16 to the contrary notwithstanding, no party shall be liable for contribution with respect to the settlement of any claim or action effected without its written consent. This Section 16 is intended to supersede any right to contribution under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, or otherwise. The representations, warranties, and obligations contained in this Agreement shall survive the closing of a Financing and the termination or expiration of this Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Europa and the Company and any of their respective heirs, successors and assigns. This Agreement is intended to be and is for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and assigns and for the benefit of no other person, and no other person shall have any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly agreed to by Europa, in writing, no one other than the Company is authorized to rely upon this engagement of Europa or any statements made by or conduct of Europa. The Company may not assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Europa, and Europa may not assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees never to commence, aid in any way, prosecute or cause to be commenced or prosecuted, any action or other proceeding based upon any claims, demands, causes of action, obligations, damages or liabilities that are the subject of this Agreement or which in any way relate to, concern, or arise out of the performance of the Services hereunder, or any other actions taken by Europa on behalf of, or for the benefit of the Company, except in the case or fraud or misrepresentation on the part of Europa. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the Company and Europa with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and contains all of the covenants and agreements of the Company and Europa with respect to this Agreement. The Company and Europa each acknowledge that no representations, inducements, promises or agreements (oral or written), have been made by the Company or Europa, or anyone acting on behalf of the Company or Europa, which are not contained in this Agreement, and any prior agreements, promises, negotiations, or representations with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement (whether written or oral), not expressly set forth in this Agreement, are of no force or effect. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by writing signed by the parties hereto. This Agency Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof between the Company and Europa. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, or terminated orally, except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver or termination is sought. Europa and the Company will attempt to settle any claim or controversy arising out of this Agreement through consultation and negotiation in good faith and a spirit of mutual cooperation. Any dispute arising under this Agreement will be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. 19
