Representations
and Warranties
of Lender. Lender hereby
represents and warrants that as of the
Closing Date:
a.
Purchase Entirely for Own Account. Lender is acquiring the
Note and any securities issuable upon conversion of the Note to be
received by
Lender (the "Securities") for investment
for Lender's own account and not with a
view to or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. Lender
understands that the Securities have not been
registered
under the
Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), by
reason of a specific
exemption from the
registration provisions of the Act that depends
upon, among other
things, the
bona fide nature of the investment intent
as expressed herein.
b.
Investment Experience.
Lender is an
accredited
investor
within the meaning of Regulation D prescribed
by the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to the Act and by virtue of Lender's experience in
evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in
companies similar to Borrower, such Lender is capable of
evaluating the merits
and risks of Lender's investment in Borrower and has the capacity to protect
Lender's own interests.

c.
Restricted
Securities.
Lender acknowledges
that the
Securities must be held indefinitely
unless subsequently registered under the
Act, or unless an exemption from such
registration is available. Lender is aware
of the provisions of Rule 144 and 144A promulgated under the Act that permit
limited resale of securities purchased in a private
placement subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions.
3.
Representations and
Warranties
of Borrower.
Borrower hereby
represents and warrants that, as of the
Closing Date:
a.
Authority. Borrower
has all requisite legal and corporate
power and authority and has obtained all approvals and consents necessary to
enter into this Agreement and the Note and to carry out and perform its
obligations under the terms of this
Agreement and the Note.
4.
Covenant Concerning Confidential Information. Lender
understands
that in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and the Note it
may
become privy to material non-public information concerning Borrower and its
business operations including proposed new
business opportunities. Lender agrees
that it will keep such information confidential and will not disclose any
material non-public information concerning
Borrower to any third person and will
not purchase or sell or enter into any
agreement to purchase or sell securities
of Borrower so long as Lender is in
possession
of any material information
concerning Borrower which has not yet been
announced publicly,
either through a
Borrower press release or in a disclosure filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
5.
Conditions of Lender's
Obligations at Closing. The obligations
of the Lender under this Agreement are subject to the
fulfillment on or
before
the Closing of each of the following
conditions,
the waiver of which
shall not
be effective against the Lender without its
written consent:
a. Note.
Borrower shall have executed and delivered to Lender
an original copy of this Agreement and the Note in the form
attached as Exhibit
A for the Loan.
b. Patent
Acquisition.
All conditions precedent to the
closing of that certain Asset Acquisition
Agreement entered into

International Machine
Design, LLC shall
have
been satisfied.
c. Minimum
Loan Amount.
The Company
shall have
received a
minimum of $650,000 pursuant to the Note
and other similar unsecured convertible
promissory notes from existing Borrower
shareholders.
6.
Registration Rights. Borrower hereby covenants to include in
its
next registration of its securities under the Securities Act of 1933 the
registration, on behalf of the Lender, as a
selling shareholder, of that number
of shares of its common stock that would be
issuable upon a full
conversion of
the principal amount of Lender's Note.
Such "piggy back"
registration
rights
shall be subject to limitation due to underwriter's discretion based on an
assessment of market conditions in the event that the
Company's next registered
offering of securities involves a traditional
underwriting,
provided that any
such limitation shall affect Lender and other
similarly situated holders of
Borrower notes on an equal percentage basis according to the number of
conversion shares held by Lender and such
other noteholders.
All expenses of
such registration, including the expenses of a single
law firm representing the
interests of Lender and all other similarly
situated selling shareholders, shall
be borne by Borrower.
