(i)            To the Company’s Knowledge, all Intellectual Property of the Company and its subsidiaries is currently in compliance with all legal requirements (including timely filings, proofs and payments of fees) and is valid and enforceable, except where the failure to be in compliance or to be valid and enforceable has not and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.  No Intellectual Property of the Company or its subsidiaries which is necessary for the conduct of Company’s and each of its subsidiaries’ respective businesses as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted has been or is now involved in any cancellation, dispute or litigation, and, to the Company’s Knowledge, no such action is threatened.  No patent of the Company or its subsidiaries has been or is now involved in any interference, reissue, re-examination or opposition proceeding.  “Intellectual Property” means all of the following: (a) patents, patent applications, patent disclosures and inventions (whether or not patentable and whether or not reduced to practice); (b) trademarks, service marks, trade dress, trade names, corporate names, logos, slogans and Internet domain names, together with all goodwill associated with each of the foregoing; (c) copyrights and copyrightable works; (d) registrations, applications and renewals for any of the foregoing; and (e) proprietary computer software (including but not limited to data, data bases and documentation).

(iii)          The Company and its subsidiaries own or have the valid right to use all of the Intellectual Property that is necessary for the conduct of the Company’s and each of its subsidiaries’ respective businesses as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted and for the ownership, maintenance and operation of the Company’s and its

12




subsidiaries’ properties and assets, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, adverse claims or obligations to license all such owned Intellectual Property, other than licenses entered into in the ordinary course of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ businesses.  The Company and its subsidiaries have a valid and enforceable right to use all third party Intellectual Property and confidential information used or held for use in the respective businesses of the Company and its subsidiaries.

(iv)          To the Company’s Knowledge, the conduct of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ businesses as currently conducted does not infringe or otherwise impair or conflict with (collectively, “Infringe”) any Intellectual Property rights of any third party or any confidentiality obligation owed to a third party, and, to the Company’s Knowledge, the Intellectual Property and confidential information of the Company and its subsidiaries which are necessary for the conduct of Company’s and each of its subsidiaries’ respective businesses as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted are not being Infringed by any third party.  There is no litigation or order pending or outstanding or, to the Company’s Knowledge, threatened or imminent, that seeks to limit or challenge or that concerns the ownership, use, validity or enforceability of any Intellectual Property or confidential information of the Company and its subsidiaries and the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ use of any Intellectual Property or confidential information owned by a third party, and, to the Company’s Knowledge, there is no valid basis for the same.

(v)           The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in the alteration, loss, impairment of or restriction on the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ ownership or right to use any of the Intellectual Property or confidential information which is necessary for the conduct of Company’s and each of its subsidiaries’ respective businesses as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted.

(vi)          The Company and its subsidiaries have taken reasonable steps to protect the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ rights in their Intellectual Property.  Each employee, consultant and contractor who has had access to confidential information which is necessary for the conduct of Company’s and each of its subsidiaries’ respective businesses as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted has executed an agreement to maintain the confidentiality of such confidential information and has executed appropriate agreements that are substantially consistent with the Company’s standard forms thereof.  Except under confidentiality obligations, there has been no material disclosure of any of the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ confidential information to any third party.

3.20             Key Employees.  No Key Employee, to the Company’s Knowledge, is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued employment of each Key Employee does not subject the Company or any of its subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters.  No Key Employee has, to the Company’s Knowledge, any intention to terminate his employment with, or services to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries. “Key Employee” means Philip Lundquist, the Chairman of the Company.

4.1               Reasonable Efforts.  The parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to timely satisfy each of the conditions described in ARTICLES VI and VII of this Agreement and to seek its Board of Directors’ approval of this Agreement.

4.2               Securities Laws; Disclosure; Press Release.  The Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the Securities with the SEC as required under Regulation D. The Company shall, on or prior to the date of Closing, take such action as is necessary to sell the Securities to each Purchaser under applicable securities laws of the states of the United States.  The Company agrees to file a Form 8-K disclosing this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby with the SEC within four (4) business days following the date of Closing.  The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in connection with the Form 8-K disclosing this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and no Purchaser shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication.

4.3               Reporting Status.  So long as any Purchaser beneficially owns any of the Securities but no longer then forty eight (48) months after the Closing Date, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to timely file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the Company shall not voluntarily terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination.

4.4               Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, not less than (i) prior to the Capital Increase, none of the shares of its authorized Common Stock for the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of all of the Warrants and (ii) from and after receipt of the Capital Increase, subject to Stockholder Approval, 7,333,333 of the shares of its authorized Common Stock for the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of all of the Warrants. After the Capital Increase the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue the Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.

4.5               Stockholder Approval.  The Company shall provide each stockholder

15




entitled to vote at a special or annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “Stockholder Meeting”), which initially shall be promptly called and held not later than December 31, 2006 (the “Stockholder Meeting Deadline”), a proxy statement, substantially in the form which has been previously reviewed by the Purchasers and a counsel of their choice at the expense of the Company, soliciting each such stockholder’s affirmative vote at the Stockholder Meeting for approval of resolutions (the “Resolutions”) providing for an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to not less than 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Capital Increase”) (such affirmative approval being referred to herein as the “Stockholder Approval” and the date such approval is obtained, the “Stockholder Approval Date”), and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of the Resolutions and to cause the Board to recommend to the stockholders that they approve the Resolutions.  The Company shall be obligated to seek to obtain the Stockholder Approval by the Stockholder Meeting Deadline.  If, despite the Company’s reasonable best efforts, the Stockholder Approval is not obtained on or prior to the Stockholder Meeting Deadline, the Company shall cause an additional Stockholder Meeting to be held every three (3) months thereafter until such Stockholder Approval is obtained and the Company. If Stockholder Approval is not for any reason obtained by the Stockholder Meeting Deadline, then the Company shall make the payments to each Purchaser as provided in the next sentence as liquidated damages and not as a penalty.  The amount to be paid by the Company to each Purchaser shall be equal to 1% (the “Liquidated Damage Rate”) of the product of (i) the per unit Purchase Price of the Units purchased by the Purchaser under this Agreement and (ii) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of all of the Warrants then held by such Purchaser for each 30-day period after the Stockholder Meeting Deadline during which Stockholder Approval is not obtained, subject to an overall limit of up to 50 months of partial liquidated damages. Such payments shall be made to each Purchaser no less frequently than every 60 days.

4.6               Preemptive Right on Certain Issuances.

(a)               Grant of Rights.  For a period of two years after the Closing Date, the Company hereby grants to each Purchaser the right to purchase, pro rata, all (or any part) of any New Securities (as defined in Section 4.6(f) below) that the Company may, from time to time during such period, propose to sell or issue.  The Purchaser’s pro rata share of the New Securities (its “Pro Rata Amount”) for purposes of this Section 4.6, is equal to the ratio of (i) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock then held by the Purchasers plus the number of shares issuable to the Investor assuming all of the all of the Warrants held by the Purchaser are exercised in accordance with their respective terms (the “Purchaser Shares”) to (ii) the sum of (A) the total number of shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of such determination, plus (B) the total number of Purchaser Shares.

(b)               Notice.  The Company shall not issue, sell or exchange, agree to issue, sell or exchange, or reserve or set aside for issuance, sale or exchange any New Securities unless the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a written notice of any proposed or intended issuance, sale or exchange of New Securities (the “Preemptive Offer”), which Preemptive Offer shall (i) identify and describe the New Securities, (ii) describe the price and other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the New Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, (iii) identify the persons or entities, if known, to which or with which the New Securities are to be offered, issued, sold or exchanged and (iv) offer to issue and

16




sell to or exchange with such Purchaser such Purchaser’s Pro Rata Amount.  The Purchaser shall have the right, for a period of 15 days following delivery of the Preemptive Offer, to purchase or acquire, at a price and upon the other terms specified in the Preemptive Offer, the number or amount of New Securities described above.  The Preemptive Offer by its terms shall remain open and irrevocable for such 15-day period.

(c)               Acceptance of Preemptive Offer.  To accept a Preemptive Offer, in whole or in part, a Purchaser must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to the end of the 15-day Preemptive Offer period, setting forth the portion of the Purchaser’s Pro Rata Amount that such Purchaser elects to purchase (the “Notice of Acceptance”).

(d)               Company Sales of Refused Securities.  The Company shall have 180 days from the expiration of the period set forth in Section 4.6(c) above to issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such New Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Purchaser (the “Refused Securities”), but only upon terms and conditions that are not materially more favorable to the purchaser of such New Securities as described in the Preemptive Offer.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4.6 to the contrary, the Preemptive Offer need not be given prior to the purchase by the party intending to purchase the New Securities described in the Preemptive Offer; provided that (i) such Preemptive Offer is sent within five (5) days after the sale to such party is consummated and remains open for a fifteen (15) day period from the receipt thereof, (ii) the Company has set aside a number of shares sufficient to satisfy the obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 4.6, and (iii) such New Securities purchased by the party intending to purchase the New Securities described in the Preemptive Offer are not considered for purposes of determining each Purchaser’s Pro Rata Amount pursuant to Section 4.6(a) hereof.

(e)               Completion of Purchase.  Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all the Refused Securities, the Purchaser shall acquire from the Company, and the Company shall issue to the Purchaser, the number or amount of New Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance upon the terms and conditions specified in the Preemptive Offer.  The purchase by the Purchaser of any New Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and the Purchaser or like investors of a purchase agreement relating to such New Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Purchaser and the Company.

(f)                “New Securities” Defined.  “New Securities” means (a) any shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or other equity securities of the Company, whether now authorized or not issued after the date hereof; and (b) any options, warrants, convertible notes, or similar rights issued after the date hereof that are or may become convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or that carry rights to subscribe for, any equity securities of the Company (each, a “Derivative Security”); provided, however, that the term “New Securities” does not include (i) securities issued pursuant to the acquisition of another entity by the Company by merger, consolidation, amalgamation, exchange of shares, the purchase of all or substantially all of the assets, or otherwise; (ii) options issued to any directors or employees of, or consultants to, the Company or its subsidiaries pursuant to any incentive stock plan or other form of incentive compensation approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (whether now authorized or not) and all shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise thereof; (iii) shares of Common Stock

17




issued upon the exercise of or conversion of any Derivative Security that is outstanding on the date hereof; (iv) shares of Common Stock or other securities issued upon the exercise or conversion of any Derivative Security as to which the Preemptive Offer has already been made or is otherwise exempt from this Section; (v) shares of Common Stock or other capital stock issued to the Company’s stockholders upon any stock split, stock dividend, combination or other similar event with respect to the Company’s Common Stock or other capital stock; and (vi) securities of any type issued (a) to any broker, finder or agent acting on behalf of the Company in satisfaction of commission payments (whether now due and owing or not) or (b) for services rendered to the Company at any time (including, without limitation, in connection with financing activities) and, to the extent that any such securities constitute Derivative Securities, the shares of Common Stock that are issued upon the exercise or conversion thereof.

4.7               Corporate Existence.  So long as any Purchaser beneficially owns any Securities, the Company shall maintain its corporate existence, except in the event of a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, as long as the surviving or successor entity in such transaction assumes the Company’s obligations hereunder and under the agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith.

4.8               Hedging Transactions.  No Purchaser has an existing short position with respect to the Company’s Common Stock.  Each Purchaser agrees not to, directly or indirectly, enter into any short sales with respect to the Common Stock prior to the date on which such Purchaser is entitled to sell or transfer the number of shares of Common Stock as to which such Purchaser proposes to establish a net short position or at any time prior to the Registration Statement registering the Registrable Shares being declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Effective Date”). This Section 4.8 shall not prohibit such Purchaser from at any time subsequent to the Effective Date to enter into options contracts with respect to the Common Stock, including puts and calls including delivering Common Stock in satisfaction of any exercised options.

4.9               Use of Proceeds.  The Company will use the proceeds of the sale for working capital needs consistent with financial budgets approved from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors.

4.10             Anti-Dilution Adjustment.  (a) In the event that prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date Deadline, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement, dated August 21, 2006, the Company issues or is deemed to have issued additional Common Shares at a purchase price of less than $0.30 per share (the “Diluting Event”), the Company will within ten (10) days after such issuance or deemed issuance issue to the Purchaser, without any further consideration of any kind being required to be paid by any person to the Company, such a number of additional Common Shares that will be necessary to maintain the Purchaser’s ownership percentage of the outstanding Common Shares at the same level (calculated to one-hundredth of one percent) as immediately prior to the Diluting Event. For purposes of the preceding sentence, Common Shares shall be deemed to have been issued immediately upon the issuance by the Company or any affiliate of the Company of securities exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, Common Shares (“Convertible Securities”) and the purchase price for such Common Shares shall be the sum of the consideration per share paid by the acquirer for such Convertible Securities plus the additional consideration per share, if any,

18




payable by the holder of such Convertible Securities to acquire the Common Shares upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities.

(b) There shall be no adjustment for issuance of any of the following: (i) up to 2,500,000 shares issued under any Company’s Employee Stock Option Plan; (ii) shares issued for consideration other than cash pursuant to a merger, consolidation, acquisition, or similar business combination approved by the Board; (iii) shares issued pursuant to any equipment loan or leasing arrangement, real property leasing arrangement or debt financing from a bank or similar financial institution approved by the Board; (iv) the exercise of any Warrant outstanding on the date hereof; (v) up to 600,000 shares issued to consultants of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose; and (vi) shares issued with the prior written consent of the majority of the Purchasers.

ARTICLE V

LEGEND REMOVAL, TRANSFER, CERTAIN SALES, ADDITIONAL SHARES

5.1               Removal of Legend.  The Legend shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such Legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is stamped, and a certificate for a security shall be originally issued without the Legend, if, (a) the sale of such Security is registered under the Securities Act, (b) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions and reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel (the reasonable cost of which shall be borne by the Company if, after one (1) year, neither an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or Rule 144 is available in connection with such sale) to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements or (c) such Security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 and the holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the Security can be so sold without restriction or (d) such Security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k).  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.  Each Purchaser agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the Legend has been removed, or which were originally issued without the Legend, pursuant to an effective registration statement, in accordance with the manner of distribution described in such registration statement and to deliver a prospectus in connection with such sale, or in compliance with an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  In the event the Legend is removed from any Security or any Security is issued without the Legend and the Security is to be disposed of other than pursuant to the registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144, then prior to, and as a condition to, such disposition such Security shall be relegended as provided herein in connection with any disposition if the subsequent transfer thereof would be restricted under the Securities Act.  Also, in the event the Legend is removed from any Security or any Security is issued without the Legend and thereafter the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the resale of such Security is suspended or the Company determines that a supplement or amendment

19




thereto is required by applicable securities laws, then upon reasonable advance notice to Purchaser holding such Security, the Company may require that the Legend be placed on any such Security that cannot then be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 or with respect to which the opinion referred to in clause (b) next above has not been rendered, which Legend shall be removed when such Security may be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 or such holder provides the opinion with respect thereto described in clause (b) next above.

5.2               Transfer Agent Instructions.  The Company agrees that following the effective date of the registration statement or at such time as such legend is no longer required under Section 5.1, it will, no later than ten (10)  days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Warrant Shares 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, registered in the name of each Purchaser or its nominee for the Warrant Shares in such amounts determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrants.  The Company covenants that no instruction other than such instructions referred to in this ARTICLE V, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2.6 hereof in the case of the Warrant Shares prior to registration of the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company.  Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way each Purchaser’s obligations and agreement set forth in Section 5.1 hereof to resell the Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement and to deliver a prospectus in connection with such sale or in compliance with an exemption from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws.  If (a) a Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, which opinion of counsel shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions and reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel (the reasonable cost of which shall be borne by the Company if, after one (1) year, neither an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or Rule 144 is available in connection with such sale), to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration or (b) a Purchaser transfers Securities to an affiliate which is an accredited investor (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and which delivers to the Company in written form the same representations, warranties and covenants made by Purchaser hereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name and in such denomination as specified by such Purchaser.  The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Purchaser by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby.  Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this ARTICLE V will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this ARTICLE V, that a Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

If to any other Purchaser, to such address set forth under such Purchaser’s name on the signature page hereto executed by such Purchaser.  Each party shall provide notice to the other parties of any change in address.

8.8             Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns.  Neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Purchaser may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any of its “affiliates,” as that term is defined under the Securities Act, without the consent of the Company so long as such affiliate is an accredited investor (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement.  This provision shall not limit each Purchaser’s right to transfer the Securities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or to assign such Purchaser’s rights hereunder to any such transferee.  In that regard, if Purchaser sells all or part of its Common Shares to someone that acquires the shares subject to restrictions on transferability (other than restrictions, if any, arising out of the transferee’s status as an affiliate of the Company), Purchaser shall be permitted to assign its rights hereunder, in whole or in part, to such transferee.

8.9             Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

8.10           Survival; Indemnification.  The representations and warranties of the Company and the agreements and covenants shall survive the closing hereunder notwithstanding any due diligence investigation conducted by or on behalf of Purchaser.  The Company agrees to

24




indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser and each of each Purchaser’s officers, directors, employees, partners, agents and affiliates from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim or proceeding, pending or threatened and the costs of enforcement thereof) (collectively, “Losses”)  arising as a result of or related to any breach or alleged breach by the Company of any of its representations or covenants set forth herein, including advancement of expenses as they are incurred.  The representations and warranties of the Purchasers shall survive the Closing hereunder and each Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its officers, directors, employees, partners, agents and affiliates from and against any and all Losses arising as a result of the breach of such Purchaser’s representations and warranties.

8.11           Further Assurances.  Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

8.12           Remedies.  No provision of this Agreement providing for any remedy to a Purchaser shall limit any remedy which would otherwise be available to such Purchaser at law or in equity.  Nothing in this Agreement shall limit any rights a Purchaser may have with any applicable federal or state securities laws with respect to the investment contemplated hereby.  The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Purchaser.  Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a material breach of its obligations under this Agreement will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Agreement, that a Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate compliance, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

8.13           Final Agreement.  This Agreement, when executed by the parties hereto, shall constitute the final agreement between the parties and upon such execution Purchasers and the Company accept the terms hereof and have no cause of action against each other for prior negotiations preceding the execution of this Agreement.

8.14           Attorney-in-Fact.  The undersigned Purchasers hereby appoint Vubotics, Inc. as their Attorney-in-Fact to execute the Registration Rights Agreement, which is Exhibit B to this Agreement.
