Th e Purchaser acknowledges that pursuant to Section 2.1 a restrictive legend consistent with the foregoing has been or will be placed on the certificates representing the Shares and Warrant Shares until resale and/or transfer of the Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, is permitted under applicable law.
4.2
Previous Investments. The Purchaser has previously invested in securities that were restricted as to their transfer and has reviewed and understands Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
4.3
Adequate Information. The Company has made information concerning the Company available through the SEC’s electronic data gathering service, Edgar, and the Purchaser has reviewed such information that the Purchaser considers necessary or appropriate to evaluate the risks and merits of an investment in the Shares (including but not limited to, the Company’s Forms 10-KSB for the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, Forms 10-QSB for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2003, December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004, and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on October 6, 2003 and November 3, 2003) and has determined that no additional information pertaining to the Company is necessary.
4.4
Opportunity to Question. The Purchaser has had the opportunity to question, and, to the extent deemed necessary or appropriate by the Purchaser, has questioned representatives of the Company so as to receive answers and verify information obtained in the Purchaser’s examination of the Company, including the information that the Purchaser has reviewed in relation to its investment in the Shares.
4.5
No Other Representations. The Purchaser acknowledges that no representations or warranties of any type or description have been made to it by any Person with regard to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, any of their respective businesses, properties or prospectus, possible income from the Shares or the investment contemplated herein, other than the representations and warranties set forth in Article III hereof. Except for the conversion of certain of the Company’s indebtedness as specifically described in Section 1.3, Purchaser has not made its decision to acquire additional Shares or to execute and deliver this Agreement on the basis of any belief that any officer, director or affiliate of the Company or any current stockholder of the Company would make an investment in the Company now or in the future other than as set forth in the Conversion Agreement.
4.6
Knowledge and Experience. The Purchaser is an Accredited Investor as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Purchaser acknowledges that no general solicitation was used by the Company to offer the Shares.
12
405601v9
4.7
Independent Decision. The Purchaser is not relying on the Company with respect to the financial or tax considerations of the Purchaser relating to its investment in the Shares. The Purchaser has relied solely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (including the Schedules hereto and thereto) and independent investigation in making its decision to acquire the Shares. The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to obtain, and has been furnished, all material that it has requested relating to the Company and the offering and sale of the Shares (other than certain privileged and confidential documents relating to Euro Atlantic Capital and Michael Karsch prepared by the Company’s counsel). The Purchaser has consulted with its own attorneys, accountants, and financial advisors prior to investing in the Sh ares offered by the Company.
4.8
Legal Existence, Approval and Authority. The Purchaser has been duly formed and is validly existing and in good standing as a limited partnership under the laws of the state of Delaware with full power and authority to acquire and hold the Shares, the Warrant and the Warrant Shares and to execute, deliver and comply with the terms of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and such other documents required to be executed and delivered by the Purchaser in connection with this Agreement. Proper proceedings of the Purchaser have occurred to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Purchaser and the Purchaser has approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
4.9
Status of Purchaser. The Purchaser represents that it is not a nominee for any other person or entity and, to its actual knowledge, none of its partners or members are nominees for any other person or entity (other than for estate planning and other legitimate business purposes that will not result in any violation of any applicable law or regulation or any additional reporting or disclosure obligations of the Company). The Purchaser’s management is not acting at the request or direction of any third party. The purchase of the Shares by the Purchaser is not contingent upon any other agreement, conditions or understandings in regard to the purchase of Shares of the Company by the Purchaser or any other third party.
4.10
No Defaults or Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Purchaser and the performance of its obligations hereunder does not conflict with or constitute a default under any instruments governing the Purchaser, or any law, regulation, order or agreement to which the Purchaser is a party or to which the Purchaser is bound.
4.11
Validity; Enforceability; Binding Effect. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Purchaser, and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity. The Purchaser is not a partnership, common trust fund, special trust, pension fund, retirement plan or other entity in which the partners or participants, as the case may be, may designate the particular investments to be made or the allocation thereof.
4.12
Confidentiality. The Purchaser has agreed not to disclose and to maintain as confidential and use solely for purposes of evaluating the transaction described herein all non-
13
405601v9
public information related to the Company of which it is in possession. Unless required by law, the Purchaser has not disclosed and shall not disclose, and shall maintain confidential any non-public information related to the Company, provided that the undersigned may disclose such information to any of its advisors, attorneys and accountants, if such advisor, attorney and/or accountant shall have agreed to be bound by this provision. The Purchaser has agreed not to effect any transaction in the Company's Common Stock or other securities in violation of any applicable law based upon any material nonpublic information related to the Company of which it is in possession.
4.13
SEC Compliance by Purchaser. In the event that the Purchaser becomes the holder of 5% or more of the Company's Common Stock or other Exchange Act registered securities of the Company, the Purchaser will file a Schedule 13D, and any other schedules or filings required by the securities laws, reflecting the Purchaser’s ownership in such time period as mandated by applicable law. The Purchaser acknowledges that there is a duty to update the Schedule 13D when any material change in such holdings occurs. Additionally, in the event that the Purchaser becomes the holder of over 10% of the Company’s Common Stock, the Purchaser will file a Form 3 initial individual report with the SEC detailing beneficial ownership of Company stock; and subsequent Form 4 with the SEC in any month when a change in beneficial ownership of Company stock occurs and a Form 5 annually, when required by applicable law. The Purchaser represents that the Purchaser has read, understands and consulted with legal counsel regarding the requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the requirements of Form 3, Form 4, Form 5 and Schedule 13D. The Purchaser intends to comply with all applicable securities rules and regulations.
4.14
No Approval. The Purchaser understands that the Shares offered hereunder have not been approved or disapproved by the SEC or any State Securities Commission nor has the SEC or any State Securities Commission passed upon the accuracy of any information provided to the Purchaser or made any finding or determination as to the fairness of the offering of the Shares of the Company.
4.15
Risk of the Investment. The Purchaser understands that the Purchaser could lose its entire investment in the Shares and may never receive any income from the Shares. The Purchaser acknowledges that it must continue to bear the economic risk of the investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time. The Purchaser realizes that the Shares are a highly speculative investment involving a high degree of risk and are suitable only for persons of substantial means who have no need for liquidity with respect to their investment in the Shares and who can afford a total loss of their entire investment without hardship.
4.16
Commissions and Finders Fees. Except as provided herein, the Purchaser is not aware of any remuneration or commission which is to be paid to any person, directly or indirectly, in connection with soliciting the purchase of the Shares.
4.17
Source of Funds for Purchaser. The Purchaser represents that all amounts to be tendered pursuant to this Agreement are legally obtained funds of the Purchaser and that such funds were not obtained from any unlawful activity.
14
405601v9
4.18

(a)
Any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer within the past five (5) years;
(b)
Any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

ARTICLE VI
INDEMNIFICATION
6.1
Indemnification Generally. The Company and the Purchaser shall indemnify each other, including any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, investment advisers and controlling persons, from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, charges, actions, proceedings, demands, judgments, closing costs and expenses of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) or deficiencies resulting from any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant by the Indemnifying Party (as hereinafter defined) contained herein (including indemnification by the Company of the Purchaser for any failure by the Company to deliver, or for any failure by the Purchaser to receive, stock certificates representing the Shares on the Closing Date, as applicable) (“Losses”). Notwithstanding th e foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any Losses to the extent such Losses arise out of, result from, or are increased by, the
16
405601v9
breach of this Agreement by, or the fraudulent acts or gross negligence of, the Indemnified Party (as hereinafter defined).
6.2
Indemnification Procedures. Each Person entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each party required to provide indemnification under this Article VI (an “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder; provided, however, failure to so notify an Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement so long as such failure shall not have materially prejudiced the position of the Indemnifying Party. Upon such notification, the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such action if it is a claim brought by a third party, and after such assumption the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to reimbursement of any legal expenses incurred by it in connection with such action except as described below. In any such action, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless: (a) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary, or (b) the named parties in any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual conflicting interests between them. An Indemnifying Party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel in any one jurisdiction for all parties indemnified by such Indemnifying Party with respec t to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any Indemnified Party an actual conflict of interest may exist between such Indemnified Party and any other of such Indemnified Parties with respect to such claim, in which event the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any closing of any proceeding effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by such Indemnifying Party), but if settled with such consent or if there be final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any Losses.

7.4
Remedies.
(a)
Each Party acknowledges that the other Parties would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages in the event that any of the covenants or agreements of such Party in this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its terms, and it is therefore agreed that each Party in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right such Party may have, shall have the right to an injunction or other equitable relief in any court of competent
18

jurisdiction, enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof.
(b)
All rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise of any thereof by any Party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or remedy by such Party.
7.5
Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (including the exhibits, appendices and schedules attached hereto and thereto) contain the entire understanding of the Parties in respect of the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between or among the Parties with respect to such subject matter. The exhibits, appendices and schedules hereto constitute a part hereof as though set forth in full above.
7.6
Expenses; Taxes. Except as otherwise provided in Article VI of this Agreement, the Parties shall pay their own fees and expenses; however, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Purchaser up to a maximum amount of $25,000 for attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, payment of which shall only be made and due at the Closing. Further, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any sales tax, stamp duty, deed transfer or other tax (except taxes based on the income of or otherwise assessable against the business or property (in general) of the Purchaser) arising out of the sale of the Shares, the Warrant or any Warrant Shares by the Company to the Purchaser shall be paid by the Company.
7.7
Amendment. This Agreement may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Purchaser.
7.8
Waiver. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver of any breach of any provision shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision, nor shall any waiver be implied from any course of dealing between the Parties. No extension of time for performance of any obligations or other acts hereunder or under any other agreement shall be deemed to be an extension of the time for performance of any other obligations or any other acts. The rights and remedies of the Parties under this Agreement are in addition to all other rights and remedies, at law or equity that they may have aga inst each other.
7.9
Binding Effect; Assignment. The rights and obligations of this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and legal assigns.

All other issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement and the exhibits (except as otherwise set forth therein) and schedules hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Florida or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Florida.
7.13
Severability. The parties stipulate that the terms and provisions of this Agreement are fair and reasonable as of the date of this Agreement. However, if any provision of this Agreement shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. If, moreover, any of those provisions shall for any reason be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because excessively broad or vague as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed by limiting, reducing or defining it, so as to be enforceable.
7.14
Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The word “including” shall mean including without limitation. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
