(financial or other), results of operations
or prospects of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

shall from time to time reserve such
additional shares of Common Stock as
shall be required to be reserved pursuant
to the Warrants, so long as the
Warrants are outstanding. The Common Stock is traded on the
Over-The-Counter
Bulletin Board. The Company knows of no reason
that the Warrant Shares will

Authorization. This
Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents to which the Company
is a party have been duly and
validly authorized by the Company; this

the issuance of the Securities as
contemplated by this Agreement and
