2. BUYER'S
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
Each Buyer
represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, that:
(a) Investment Purpose. Each Buyer is acquiring the Securities
for
its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or
for resale
in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except
pursuant to
sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided,
however, that
by making the representations herein, such Buyer reserves the right
to dispose
of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to an
effective
registration statement covering such Securities or an available
exemption under
the Securities Act. Such Buyer does not presently have any
agreement or
understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to
distribute any of the
Securities.
(b) Accredited Investor Status. Each Buyer is an "Accredited
Investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation
D.
(c) Reliance on Exemptions. Each Buyer understands that the
Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific
exemptions
from the registration requirements of United States federal and
state securities
laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and
accuracy of, and
such Buyer's compliance with, the representations, warranties,
agreements,
acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein
in order to
determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility
of such Buyer
to acquire the Securities.
(d) Information. Each Buyer and its advisors (and his or, its
counsel), if any, have been furnished with all materials relating
to the
business, finances and operations of the Company and information he
deemed
material to making an informed investment decision regarding his
purchase of the
Securities, which have been requested by such Buyer. Each Buyer and
its
advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask
questions of the
Company and its management. Neither such inquiries nor any other
due diligence
investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if any, or
its
representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer's right to
rely on the
Company's representations and warranties contained in Section 3
below. Each
Buyer understands that its investment in the Securities involves a
high degree
of risk. Each Buyer is in a position regarding the Company, which,
based upon
employment, family relationship or economic bargaining power,
enabled and
enables such Buyer to obtain information from the Company in order
to evaluate
the merits and risks of this investment. Each Buyer has sought such
accounting,
legal and tax advice, as it has considered necessary to make an
informed
investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the
Securities.
(e) No Governmental Review. Each Buyer understands that no
United
States federal or state agency or any other government or
governmental agency
has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the
Securities, or
the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities,
nor have such
authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of
the
Securities. Each Buyer understands and acknowledges that the
Company has
undertaken and will undertake no efforts to comply with any laws of
any
jurisdiction outside the United States relating to the issuance and
sale of its
securities except as may be provided herein.
3
<PAGE>
(f) Transfer or Resale. Each Buyer understands that: (i) the
Securities have not been and are not being registered under the
Securities Act
or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale,
sold, assigned or
transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) such
Buyer shall
have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in a generally
acceptable
form, to the effect that such Securities to be sold, assigned or
transferred may
be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such
registration
requirements, or (C) such Buyer provides the Company with
reasonable assurances
(in the form of seller and broker representation letters) that such
Securities
can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144, or Rule
144A
promulgated under the Securities Act, as amended (or a successor
rule thereto)
(collectively, "Rule 144"), in each case following the applicable
holding period
set forth therein; (ii) any sale of the Securities made in reliance
on Rule 144
may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and
further, if Rule
144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities under
circumstances in which
the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be
deemed to be an
underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may
require
compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or
the rules and
regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company
nor any other
person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the
Securities
Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and
conditions of
any exemption thereunder. The Company reserves the right to place
stop transfer
instructions against the shares and certificates for the Conversion
Shares.
(g) Legends. Each Buyer agrees to the imprinting, so long as is
required by this Section 2(g), of a restrictive legend in
substantially the
following form (and a stop transfer order may be placed against
transfer of such
stock certificates):
THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED
UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES
LAWS. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED SOLELY FOR INVESTMENT
PURPOSES
AND NOT WITH A VIEW TOWARD RESALE AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR
SALE,
SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF
1933, AS
AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL,
IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED
UNDER SAID
ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
Certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares
shall not
contain any legend (including the legend set forth above), (i)
while a
registration statement covering the resale of such security is
effective under
the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Conversion
Shares or Warrant
Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Conversion Shares or
Warrant Shares
are eligible for sale under Rule 144, or (iv) if such legend is not
required
under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including
judicial
interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC).
The Company
shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company's
transfer agent
promptly after the effective date (the "Effective Date") of a
Registration
Statement if required by the Company's transfer agent to effect the
removal of
the legend hereunder. If all or any portion of the Convertible
Debentures or
Warrants are exercised by a Buyer that is not an Affiliate (as
defined below) of
the Company (a "Non-Affiliated Buyer") at a time when there is an
effective
registration statement to cover the resale of the Conversion Shares
or the
Warrant Shares, such Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares shall be
issued free of
all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date
or at such
4
<PAGE>
time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 2(g),
it will, no
later than three (3) Trading Days following the delivery by a
Non-Affiliated
Buyer to the Company or the Company's transfer agent of a
certificate
representing Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as the case may
be, issued
with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the "Legend
Removal Date"),
deliver or cause to be delivered to such Non-Affiliated Buyer a
certificate
representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and
other legends.
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 Buyer acknowledges that the Company's
agreement
hereunder to remove all legends from Conversion Shares or Warrant
Shares is not
an affirmative statement or representation that such Conversion
Shares or
Warrant Shares are freely tradable. Each Buyer, severally and not
jointly with
the other Buyers, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend
from
certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section
3(g) is
predicated upon the Company's reliance that the Buyer will sell any
Securities
pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities
Act,
including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an
exemption
therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a
Registration Statement,
they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set
forth therein.
(h) Authorization, Enforcement. This Agreement, and all related
agreements, are within Buyer's corporate power and have been duly
and validly
authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Buyer and are
valid and
binding agreements of such Buyer enforceable in accordance with
their terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles
of equity or
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
liquidation and
other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the
enforcement of
applicable creditors' rights and remedies.
(i) Receipt of Documents. Each Buyer and his or its counsel has
received and read in their entirety: (i) this Agreement and each
representation,
warranty and covenant set forth herein and the Transaction
Documents (as defined
herein); (ii) all due diligence and other information necessary to
verify the
accuracy and completeness of such representations, warranties and
covenants;
(iii) the Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2006;
(iv) the Company's quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB for the periods
ended March
31, 2007, June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2007; (v) the Company's
Reports on
Form 8-K filed on December 10, 2007, December 18, 2007, January 9,
2008,
February 15, 2008, February 28, 2008 and March 19, 2008; and (vi)
answers to all
questions each Buyer submitted to the Company regarding an
investment in the
Company; and each Buyer has relied on the information contained
therein and has
not been furnished any other documents, literature, memorandum or
prospectus.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Company's representations
and warranties
are limited to exclusively those expressly stated in this Agreement
and exclude
any and all statements made in any other business plan, prospectus,
projections,
memorandum or other document or in any oral communication.
5
<PAGE>
(j) Due Formation of Corporate and Other Buyers. If the Buyer(s)
is
a corporation, trust, partnership or other entity that is not an
individual
person, it has been formed and validly exists and has not been
organized for the
specific purpose of purchasing the Securities and is not prohibited
from doing
so.
(k) No Legal Advice From the Company. Each Buyer acknowledges,
that
it had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the
transactions
contemplated by this Agreement with his or its own legal counsel
and investment
and tax advisors. Each Buyer is relying solely on such counsel and
advisors and
not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of
its
representatives or agents for legal, tax or investment advice with
respect to
this investment, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
the
securities laws of any jurisdiction.

conflict with, or constitute a material default (or an event which

such material)
(all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof or amended
after the date
hereof and all exhibits included therein and financial statements
and schedules

any such extension. The Company has delivered to the Buyers or

As of their
respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material
respects with the
requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of
the SEC
promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of

8
<PAGE>
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact

therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. As of

included in the

applicable
accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of
the SEC with
respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied,
during the
periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such
financial
statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited
interim
statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be
condensed or
summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the
financial
position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of
its
operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in
the case of
unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). No
other
information provided by or on behalf of the Company to the Buyers
which is not
included in the SEC Documents, including, without limitation,
information
referred to in Section 2(i) of this Agreement, contains any untrue
statement of
a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in
order to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstance under
which they are or
were made and not misleading.
(g) 10(b)-5. The SEC Documents do not include any untrue
statements
of material fact, nor do they omit to state any material fact
required to be
stated therein necessary to make the statements made, in light of
the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(h) Absence of Litigation. There is no action, suit,
proceeding,
inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board,
government
agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending against or
affecting the
Company or the Common Stock, wherein an unfavorable decision,
ruling or finding
would have a Material Adverse Effect.
(i) Acknowledgment Regarding Buyer's Purchase of the
Convertible
Debentures. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Buyer is
acting solely
