ARTICLE II
Representations And Warranties Of The Company
 
The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers that, except as set
forth on the disclosure schedules delivered by the Company to the Purchasers in
connection with this Agreement (the “Disclosure Schedules”), which schedules
shall be deemed to be part of the representations and warranties made hereunder,
the following representations are true and correct as of the date hereof.  As
used herein, the phrase “to the Company’s knowledge” or similar statements to
that effect shall mean to the actual knowledge of the following individuals as
of the date hereof:  Bob Marbut, Don Neville, Ron Chaimovski and Sam Youngblood.
 
Section 2.1              Organization and Qualification.  The Company is duly
incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State
of Delaware, with full corporate power and authority to conduct its business as
currently conducted.  The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in
good standing in Texas, which is the only jurisdiction, other than the state of
its incorporation, in which the nature of the business conducted by it or
property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the
failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not
have a Material Adverse Effect and, to the Company’s knowledge, no proceeding
has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing,
or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail, such corporate power and authority or
qualification.
 
Section 2.2              Authorization; Enforcement.  The Company has all
requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to perform its
obligations under this Agreement, to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby and to issue the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof and to issue
the Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of
Designation. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the
Company.  This Agreement has been duly executed by the Company and constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the
Company in accordance with its terms, except (i) as enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or moratorium or
similar Laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally,
(ii) as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity and (iii)
as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by state or federal
securities Laws or public policy underlying such Laws.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
Section 2.3              Capitalization.  The authorized capital stock of the
Company, as of January 8, 2009, but immediately prior to the Closing, consisted
of 89,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which
5,969,342 shares were issued and outstanding and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 18,750 were issued and outstanding
and designated Series A Preferred Stock and 27,273 of which were designated
Series B Preferred Stock, none of which were issued and outstanding.  All of the
issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock have
been duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, and were
issued in compliance with applicable securities Laws.  Except as set forth in
Section 2.3 of the Disclosure Schedules and the Shares, the Company does not
have outstanding any options to purchase, or any preemptive rights or other
rights to subscribe for or to purchase, any securities or obligations
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or any contracts or
commitments to issue or sell, shares of its capital stock or any such options,
rights, convertible securities or obligations.  In addition, except as forth in
Section 2.3 of the Disclosure Schedules and the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Shares, there are no shares of the Company’s capital stock
reserved for issuance.  The Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), as in effect on the date
hereof, and the Company’s Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), as in effect on the date
hereof, are each filed as exhibits to the SEC Documents. Except as set forth in
Section 2.3 of the Disclosure Schedules, or as contemplated by this Agreement,
there are no stockholder agreements, voting agreements or other similar
agreements with respect to the Common Stock to which the Company is a party or
for which the Company otherwise has knowledge.  The Company has consummated a
“Business Combination” within the meaning of Article Sixth of the Certificate of
Incorporation such that the provisions of (A) through (E) of such Article Sixth
shall have ceased to apply including, without limitation, the cessation of any
right of any holder of IPO Shares (as defined in the Certificate of
Incorporation) to require the redemption of such IPO Shares by the Company for
cash.
 
Section 2.4              Issuance of Securities.  The Shares are duly authorized
and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be duly
and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will not be subject to
preemptive rights or other similar rights of stockholders of the Company.  The
Conversion Shares have been duly and validly reserved and upon issuance in
accordance with the Certificate of Designation, will be duly and validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable and will be free and clear of any liens or
encumbrances (including preemption rights) caused or created by the Company or
its Subsidiaries.  Assuming the accuracy of all representations and warranties
of the Purchasers set out in Article III, the offer and issuance by the Company
of the Shares and the Conversion Shares are exempt from registration under the
Securities Act and all applicable state securities Laws.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
Section 2.5            Subsidiaries.  Set forth on Section 2.5 of the Disclosure
Schedules is a list of each corporation, partnership, limited liability company,
joint venture or other entity, showing as to each such entity the percentage of
the total equity interest thereof which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the
Company (individually, a “Subsidiary,” and collectively, the “Subsidiaries”).
All outstanding equity interest of such Subsidiary owned by the Company or
another Subsidiary are validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, and the
Company, or such other Subsidiary, as applicable, has good and marketable title
thereto free and clear of any liens or encumbrances.  Each such Subsidiary is
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the
jurisdiction under which it is formed and has full requisite entity power and
authority to own its property and carry on its business as presently conducted
by it and is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing
as a foreign corporation authorized to do business in all jurisdictions in which
the character of the properties owned or the nature of the business conducted
makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except in such jurisdictions
where the failure to be so qualified or licensed would not have a Material
Adverse Effect.  Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has issued or sold
any options, warrants, calls, or commitments of any kind relating to any equity
security in such Subsidiary which remain outstanding.
 
Section 2.6               No Conflicts; Government Consents and Permits
 
.
 
(a)          The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the
Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated
hereby, including the issuance of the Shares, will not (i) conflict with or
result in a violation of any provision of its Certificate of Incorporation or
Bylaws or similar or comparable organizational documents of any Subsidiary, (ii)
violate or conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or
constitute a default (or any event which with notice or lapse of time or both
would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of notice, consent,
termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement,
indenture, or instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or,
or (iii) except for (A) any notice filings required to be made under federal or
state securities Laws in connection with an exemption from the registration
requirements thereof and (B) any required filings or notifications regarding
quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board,  result in a violation of any Law
(including United States federal and state securities Laws and regulations and
regulations of any self-regulatory organizations to which the Company or any
Subsidiary or their respective securities are subject) applicable to the Company
or any Subsidiary, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) only, for such
conflicts, breaches, defaults, and violations as would not have a Material
Adverse Effect.  Except as set forth in Section 2.6(a) of the Disclosure
Schedules, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the
Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated
hereby, including the issuance of the Shares, will not be deemed a change of
control under any agreement, instrument, or indenture to which the Company or
any Subsidiary is a party.
 
(b)          Except for filings or registrations as may be required by Article
VI, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is required to obtain any consent,
authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or
governmental agency or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency in order for it
to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement in
accordance with the terms hereof, or to issue and sell the Shares in accordance
with the terms hereof other than such as have been made or obtained, and any
notice filings required to be made under United States federal or state
securities Laws in connection with an exemption from the registration
requirements thereof, and any required filings or notifications regarding
quotation on or to maintain good standing with the OTC Bulletin Board.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(c)          The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries has not been and
is not being conducted in violation of any Law of any Governmental Entity except
for violations as would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
(d)          The Company and its Subsidiaries have all franchises, permits,
licenses, and any similar authority necessary for the conduct of their
respective businesses as now being conducted, except for such franchises,
permits, licenses or similar authorities, the lack of which would not have a
Material Adverse Effect.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have
received any actual notice of any proceeding relating to revocation or
modification of any such franchise, permit, license, or similar authority.
 
Section 2.7                SEC Documents, Financial Statements.  Except as set
forth in Section 2.7 of the Disclosure Schedules, the Company has timely filed
all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be
filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act since the Company’s
initial public offering (all of the foregoing filed at least ten (10) days prior
to the date hereof and all exhibits included therein and financial statements
and schedules thereto and documents (other than exhibits) incorporated by
reference therein, being hereinafter referred to as the “SEC Documents”).  As of
their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with
the requirements of the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, as the case may be,
and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC,
contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.  As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the
Company (including the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, as applicable) included in the SEC Documents (the “Financial
Statements”) and the related notes complied as to form in all material respects
with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations
of the SEC with respect thereto.  The Financial Statements and the related notes
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States, consistently applied, during the periods involved (except
(i) as may be otherwise indicated in the Financial Statements or the notes
thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, they may be
condensed or summary statements or may conform to the SEC’s rules and
instructions for reports on Form 10-Q or similar form) and fairly present in all
material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company as of the
dates thereof and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for
the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal
and recurring year-end audit adjustments).  All material agreements that were
required to be filed as exhibits to the SEC Documents under Item 601 of
Regulation S-K (collectively, the “Material Agreements”) to which the Company or
any Subsidiary is a party, or the property or assets of the Company or any
Subsidiary are subject, have been filed as exhibits to the SEC Documents.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
Section 2.8                Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  The Company has
established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that are effective in all
material respects to ensure that material information relating to the Company
and its Subsidiaries is made known to the Company’s chief executive officer and
chief financial officer. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the
effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end
of the period covered by the most recently filed quarterly or annual periodic
report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”).  The Company
presented in its most recently filed quarterly or annual periodic report under
the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the
effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their
evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have
been no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act),
including, but not limited to, any material weaknesses identified by management.
 
Section 2.9                Accounting Controls.  The Company maintains a system
of accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (i)
transactions of the Company and its Subsidiaries are executed in accordance with
management’s general or specific authorization, (ii) transactions of the Company
and its Subsidiaries are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
as applied in the United States and to maintain accountability for assets, (iii)
access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or
specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets of the
Company and its Subsidiaries is compared with existing assets at reasonable
intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.
 
Section 2.10              Absence of Litigation.  Except as set forth on Section
2.10 of the Disclosure Schedules, as of the date hereof, there is no action,
suit, proceeding or investigation before or by any court, public board,
government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending, to the extent
served on the Company or any Subsidiary, or, to the Company’s knowledge,
threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary that if determined adversely to
the Company or any Subsidiary would have a Material Adverse Effect.  None of the
Company, its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective directors or officers is,
or within the last five (5) years has been, the subject of any action involving
a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities Laws or a
claim of breach of fiduciary duty relating to the Company or any Subsidiary.
There has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not currently
pending or contemplated, any investigation by the SEC involving the Company or
any Subsidiary or any current or former director or officer of the Company or
any Subsidiary.  The Company has not received any stop order or other order
suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company
under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act and, to the Company’s knowledge,
the SEC has not issued any such order.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
Section 2.11             Intellectual Property Rights.  The Company or its
Subsidiaries have ownership of, or licensee rights to, all patents, patent
applications, patent rights, inventions, know-how, trade secrets, trademarks,
trademark applications, service marks, service names, trade names, copyrights,
proprietary rights and processes necessary to enable it to conduct its business
as conducted as of the date hereof (the “Intellectual Property”).  To the
Company’s knowledge, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has infringed the
intellectual property rights of third parties and no third party is infringing
the Intellectual Property, in each case, which could result in a Material
Adverse Effect.  Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, there are no material
options, licenses or agreements relating to the Intellectual Property, nor,
except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, is the Company or any Subsidiary bound
by or a party to any material options, licenses or agreements relating to the
patents, patent applications, patent rights, inventions, know-how, trade
secrets, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, service names, trade
names, copyrights, proprietary rights and processes of any other person or
entity.  As of the date hereof, there is no claim, action or proceeding pending
or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened, that challenges the right of the
Company or its Subsidiaries with respect to any Intellectual Property.  All
Intellectual Property (along with application, prosecution and maintenance
status) and all contracts and understandings currently in effect relating
thereto are set forth in Section 2.11 of the Disclosure Schedules, and there is
not any breach or, to the Company’s knowledge, basis for termination or
diminution of rights under or with respect to any such agreement of
understanding which could result in a Material Adverse Effect.  The Company has
taken reasonable efforts to ensure that all persons who have had access to trade
secrets or confidential information of the Company or any Subsidiary have signed
customary non-disclosure and non-use agreement not containing “residuals”
clauses or similar provisions.
 
Section 2.12              Placement Agents.  Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary has taken any action that would give rise to any claim by any person
for brokerage commissions, placement agent’s fees or similar payments relating
to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
Section 2.13              Investment Company
 
.  The Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the
Securities, will not be an investment company required to register under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  The Company shall conduct its
business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment

Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company, severally and not
jointly, with respect to itself and its purchase hereunder, that:
 
Section 3.1               Investment Purpose.  The Purchaser is purchasing the
Shares for its own account for investment and not with a present view toward the
public sale or distribution thereof and has no intention of selling or
distributing or any arrangement or understanding with any other persons
regarding the sale or distribution of the Shares or Conversion Shares, except as
contemplated by this Agreement and in compliance with the Securities Act.  The
Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or
otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise
acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Shares or Conversion Shares except in
accordance with the provisions of Article VI of this Agreement or pursuant to
and in accordance with the Securities Act. In making the representation herein,
however, the Purchaser does not agree to hold any of the Shares or Conversion
Shares for any minimum or other specified term and reserves the right to dispose
of the Shares or Conversion Shares at any time in compliance with the Securities
Act.
 
Section 3.2                Purchaser Status; Questionnaires.  At the time
Purchaser was offered the Shares, it was, and at the date hereof it is, an
“accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. All
information provided by the Purchaser to the Company (including the
Questionnaire provided by the Purchasers to the Company) or a representative
thereof in connection with the Purchaser’s purchase of the Shares was accurate
and correct when provided or delivered and is accurate and correct as of the
date hereof.
 
Section 3.3                Reliance on Exemptions.  The Purchaser understands
that the Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific
exemptions from or non-application of the registration requirements of United
States federal and state securities Laws and that the Company is relying upon
the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the
representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of
the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such
exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire the Shares.
 
14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
Section 3.4               Acknowledgement of Risk.
 
(a)          The Purchaser acknowledges and understands that its investment in
the Shares involves a significant degree of risk, including, without limitation,
(i) the Company’s limited operating history; (ii) an investment in the Company
is speculative, and only Purchasers who can afford the loss of their entire
investment should consider investing in the Company and the Shares; (iii) the
Purchaser may not be able to liquidate its investment; (iv) transferability of
the Shares is limited; (v) in the event of a disposition of the Shares, the
Purchaser could sustain the loss of its entire investment; and (vi) the Company
has not paid any dividends on its Common Stock since inception and does not
anticipate the payment of dividends in the foreseeable future; and
 
(b)          The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of holding the
Shares and the Conversion Shares for an indefinite period, and has knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters such that it is capable of
evaluating the risks of the investment in the Shares and the Conversion Shares.
 
Section 3.5                Transfer or Sale.  The Purchaser understands that:
 
(a)          the Shares and Conversion Shares have not been and are not being
registered under the Securities Act (other than as contemplated in Article VI of
this Agreement) or any applicable state securities Laws and, consequently, the
Purchaser may have to bear the risk of owning the Shares or Conversion Shares
for an indefinite period of time because the Shares or Conversion Shares may not
be transferred unless (i) the sale of the Shares or Conversion Shares is
registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act, as contemplated in Article VI of this Agreement; (ii) the Purchaser has
delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel (in form, substance and scope
customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that
the Shares or Conversion Shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or
transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration; or (iii) the Shares
or Conversion Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144; and
 
(b)          except as set forth in Article VI of this Agreement, neither the
Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the sale of the
Shares or Conversion Shares under the Securities Act or any state or foreign
securities Laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption
thereunder.
 
Section 3.6                Legends.  
 
(a)          The Purchaser understands the certificates representing the Shares
and Conversion Shares will bear a restrictive legend in substantially the
following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the
certificates for such Shares or Conversion Shares, as applicable):
 
   THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE
OF THE UNITED STATES IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR REGULATIONS
THEREUNDER, AND ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED,
HYPOTHECATED, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE
EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO
SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE
COMPANY.
 
15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(b)          The Purchaser may request that the Company remove, and the Company
agrees to authorize the removal of any legend from the Shares and Conversion
Shares (i) following any sale of the Conversion Shares pursuant to an effective
registration statement, or (ii) if such Conversion Shares are eligible for sale
under Rule 144 without volume limitations or under any no-action letter issued
by the SEC (it being understood that the Company may obtain an opinion of
counsel with respect to such removal of legend).  Following the time a legend is
no longer required for the Conversion Shares hereunder, the Company will, no
later than five (5) Business Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the
Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a legended certificate representing
such shares, accompanied by such additional information as the Company or the
Company’s transfer agent may reasonably request, deliver or cause to be
delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free
from all restrictive and other legends.
 
(c)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company
acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not require an opinion of counsel
in connection with the transfer of any Shares or Conversion Shares by a
Purchaser to a Person that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)
under the Securities Act and which transfer involves (i) a partnership
transferring to its partners or former partners in accordance with partnership
interests; (ii) a corporation transferring to a wholly-owned subsidiary or a
parent corporation that owns all of the capital stock of such Purchaser; (iii) a
limited liability company transferring to its members or former members in
accordance with their interest in the limited liability company; or (iv) an
affiliated investment fund transferring to another affiliated investment fund;
provided that in each case the transfer is effected in accordance with
applicable securities Laws and the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to
the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if the transferee were an
original Purchaser hereunder.

ARTICLE VI
Registration Rights
 
Section 6.1            [Intentionally Omitted].
 
Section 6.2            Piggy-Back Registration
 
(a)           Piggyback Registration Rights.  If the Company proposes to file a
registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of
any shares of Common Stock by the Company for its own account or for the account
of any holder of Common Stock other than the Purchasers (other than a
registration statement on Forms S-8 or S-4, or any substitute forms that may be
adopted by the SEC or any registration statement filed), then the Company shall
give written notice of such proposed filing to the Purchasers as soon as
practicable (but in no event less than 15 days before the anticipated filing
date of such registration statement), and such notice shall offer the Purchasers
the opportunity to register such number of Registrable Securities as the
Purchasers may request (a “Piggyback Registration”).  Subject to Section 6.2(b)
hereof, the Company shall include in each such Piggyback Registration all
Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration for such
offering by written notice to the Company within 10 days of receipt of the
Company’s notice referred to above; provided, however, that the Company may at
any time withdraw or cease proceeding with any such registration for its own
account prior to effectiveness of such registration whether or not the
Purchasers have elected to include any Registrable Securities in such
registration.  In addition, the Purchasers shall be permitted to withdraw all or
part of the Registrable Securities from a Piggyback Registration at any time
prior to the effective date thereof.
 
(b)           Priority on Piggyback Registration.  The Company shall use
reasonable best efforts to cause the managing underwriter(s) of a proposed
underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be
included in the registration statement for such offering under Section 6.2(a)
(such Registrable Securities referred to as “Piggyback Securities”) to be
included on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities included
therein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to
include any Piggyback Securities in such offering unless the Purchasers accept
the terms of the underwriting agreement between the Company and the managing
underwriter(s) and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.8
below.  If the managing underwriter(s) of a proposed underwritten offering
advise(s) the Company that in their opinion the total amount of securities,
including Piggyback Securities, to be included in such offering is sufficiently
large to materially and adversely affect the price or success of the offering,
then in such event the securities to be included in such offering shall be
allocated:
 
22

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(i)           If the registration is undertaken for the Company’s account: (A)
first, the securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without
exceeding the maximum number of shares suggested by the underwriters (the
“Maximum Number of Shares”); (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number
of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the securities
(including the Registrable Securities) as to which registration has been
requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights (pro
rata in accordance with the number of securities which each such person has
actually requested to be included in such registration) that can be sold without
exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and
 
(ii)           If the registration is a “demand” registration undertaken at the
demand of persons other than the holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to
written contractual arrangements with such persons, (A) first, the securities
for the account of the demanding persons that can be sold without exceeding the
Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of
Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the securities that
the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum
Number of Shares; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares
has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the securities
(including the Registrable Securities) as to which registration has been
requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights (pro
rata in accordance with the number of securities which each such person has
actually requested to be included in such registration) that can be sold without
exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.
 
Section 6.3              Holdback Agreements
 
(a)           Restrictions on Public Sale of Registrable Securities.  Following
any underwritten public offering of equity securities by the Company or the
Purchasers effected pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchasers agree not to
effect any public sale or distribution of securities similar to those being
registered or of any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable
for such securities or hedging transactions relating to the Registrable
Securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144, during the 10 days prior to
the expected date of “pricing” of such offering and during a period not to
exceed 90 days with respect to any such offering, beginning on the date of such
final prospectus (or prospectus supplement if the offering is made pursuant to a
“shelf” registration) as shall be reasonably requested by the managing
underwriter(s) except as part of such registration, and, if and to the extent
requested by the managing underwriter(s), the Purchaser agrees to execute an
agreement to the foregoing effect with the underwriters for such offering on
such terms as the managing underwriter(s) shall reasonably request.
 
(b)           Restrictions on Public Sale by the Company.  Following any
underwritten public offering of equity securities by the Purchasers effected
pursuant to this Agreement, the Company agrees not to effect any public sale or
distribution of any securities similar to those being registered, or any
securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities,
during the 10 days prior to the expected date of “pricing” of such offering and
during a period not to exceed 60 days with respect to any such offering,
beginning on the date of such final prospectus (or prospectus supplement if the
offering is made pursuant to a “shelf” registration) as shall be reasonably
requested by the managing underwriter(s).
 
23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(c)           [Intentionally Omitted].  
 
(d)           Suspension of Use of Shelf Registration Statement.  If the Company
has filed a “shelf” registration statement and has included Registrable
Securities therein, the Company shall be entitled to suspend (but not more than
an aggregate of 90 days in any 12-month period), for a reasonable period of time
not in excess of 90 days, the offer or sale of Registrable Securities pursuant
to such registration statement by any holder of Registrable Securities if (i) a
“road show” is not then in progress with respect to a proposed offering of
Registrable Securities by such holder pursuant to such registration statement
and such holder has not executed an underwriting agreement with respect to a
pending sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement
and (ii) the Company or any of its subsidiaries are engaged in confidential
negotiations or other confidential business activities, disclosure of which
would be required if such registration statement were used (but would not be
required if such registration statement were not used) and the Board determines
in good faith that such disclosure would be materially detrimental to the
Company.  In order to suspend the use of the registration statement pursuant to
this Section 6.3(d), the Company shall promptly, upon determining to seek such
suspension, deliver to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such
registration statement, a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of
the Company stating that the Company is suspending use of such registration
statement pursuant to this Section 6.3(d) and the basis therefor in reasonable
detail.
 
Section 6.4            Registration Procedures.  Whenever the Purchasers have
requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Article
VI, the Company will, in connection with any such request, as expeditiously as
practicable:
 
(a)        prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on any form
for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem
appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of the Registrable
Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method of
distribution thereof, and use its reasonable best efforts and proceed diligently
and in good faith to cause such filed registration statement to become effective
under the Securities Act; provided that at least five business days before
filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements
thereto, the Company will furnish to the Purchasers and to one counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Company selected by the Purchasers, copies of all
such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the
review of such counsel;
 
24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(b)        prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such
registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be
necessary to keep such registration statement effective until all Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement have been sold and comply with
the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by such registration statement during such period in
accordance with the intended method of disposition by the Purchasers thereof set
forth in such registration statement; provided however that the Purchasers that
have been included on a “shelf” registration statement may request that their
Registrable Securities be removed from such registration statement, in which
event the Company shall as promptly as practicable either withdraw such
registration statement or file a post-effective amendment to such registration
statement removing such Registrable Securities;
 
(c)        furnish to the Purchasers such number of copies of such registration
statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all
exhibits thereto), the prospectus included in such registration statement
(including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as the
Purchasers may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the
Registrable Securities;
 
(d)        notify the Purchasers promptly, and confirm such notice in writing:

amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a registration statement or any
post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective under the
Securities Act and each applicable state Law;
 
(ii)           of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state
governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a registration statement
or related prospectus or for additional information;
 
(iii)           of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of a registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings
for that purpose;
 
(iv)           if at any time the representations or warranties of the Company
or any Subsidiary contained in any agreement (including any underwriting
agreement) contemplated by Section 6.4(i) below cease to be true and correct in
any material respect;
 
(v)           of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to
the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of
the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or
threatening of any proceeding for such purpose;
 
(vi)           of the happening of any event that requires the making of any
changes in such registration statement, prospectus or any document incorporated
or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference so that, in the case of the
registration statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of
the prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were

amendment to a registration statement would be appropriate;
 
(e)        use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order

Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable
moment;
 
(f)        cooperate with the Purchasers and the managing underwriter(s) to
facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing

(g)       use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such
Registrable Securities as promptly as practicable under such other securities or
blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Purchasers or managing underwriter
reasonably (in light of the intended plan of distribution) requests and do any
and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to
enable the Purchasers or managing underwriter to consummate the disposition in
such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by the Purchasers;
provided that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do
business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify
but for this paragraph (g) or (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such
jurisdiction, and notify the Purchasers in writing of the receipt by the Company
of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or
qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities
Laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of
the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose;

applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to the

required pursuant to Section 6.4(m), to list such Registrable Securities;
 
(f)          reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and

(g)         the reasonable fees and expenses of any special experts retained by
the Company in connection with such registration;

Section 6.6            Indemnification; Contribution.
 
(a)           Indemnification by the Company.  The Company agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Purchasers, each Person, if any, who controls the
Purchasers within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20
of the Exchange Act, and the officers, directors, agents, general and limited
partners, and employees of the Purchasers and each such controlling Person from
and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (joint or several),
and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation and attorneys’ fees)
arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in any registration statement or prospectus relating
to the Registrable Securities or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in
any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or based upon any omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out of, or are based
upon and in conformity with, any such untrue statement or omission or allegation
thereof based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by the
Purchasers or on the Purchasers’ behalf expressly for use therein.
 
(b)           Indemnification by the Purchasers.  The Purchasers agree to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each Person, if any, who controls
the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act and the officers, directors, agents and employees
of the Company and each such controlling Person to the same extent as the
foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Purchasers, but only with respect to
information furnished in writing by the Purchasers or on the Purchasers’ behalf
expressly for use in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the
Registrable Securities.  The liability of the Purchasers under this Section
6.6(b) shall be limited to the aggregate cash and property received by the
Purchasers pursuant to the sale of Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement or prospectus.
 
(c)           Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.  If any action or
proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be brought or
asserted against any Person entitled to indemnification under Sections 6.6(a) or
6.6(b) above (an “Indemnified Party”) in respect of which indemnity may be
sought from any Person who has agreed to provide such indemnification under
Sections 6.6(a) or 6.6(b) above (an “Indemnifying Party”), the Indemnified Party
shall give prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying
Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and shall assume the payment
of all reasonable expenses of such defense. Such Indemnified Party shall have
the right to employ separate counsel in any such action or proceeding and to
participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless:
 
(i)           the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses;
or
 
29

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(ii)           the Indemnifying Party fails promptly to assume the defense of
such action or proceeding or fails to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to
such Indemnified Party; or
 
(iii)           the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including
any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and Indemnifying
Party (or an Affiliate of the Indemnifying Party), and such Indemnified Party
shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to
those available to the Indemnifying Party, or there is a conflict of interest on
the part of counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party to represent such
Indemnified Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the
Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the
right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of such
Indemnified Party).
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection
with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar
related actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same
general allegations or circumstances, be liable at any time for the fees and
expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together in each case with
appropriate local counsel). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any such action or proceeding effected without its written consent
(which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its
written consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such
action or proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless
such Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability (to the extent
stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment.  The Indemnifying Party
shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that
does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or
plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all liability in respect
of such action or proceeding for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled
to indemnification hereunder.
 
(d)           Contribution.  If the indemnification provided for in this Section
6.6 is unavailable to the Indemnified Parties in respect of any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or judgments referred to herein, then each such
Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Parties, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Parties as a result
of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments as between the
Company on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other, in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and of the
Purchasers in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and
of the Purchasers on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by such Person, and such Persons’ relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
 
30

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
The Company and the Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 6.6(d) were determined by any method of
allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations
referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.  The amount paid or payable
by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or judgments referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed
to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim.  Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 6.6(d), the Purchasers shall not be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which
the Registrable Securities were offered to the public (less any underwriting
discounts or commissions) exceeds the amount of any damages which the Purchasers
have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission.  No Person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.
 
Section 6.7              Additional Covenants and Agreements of the
Company.  With a view to making available to the Purchasers the benefits of
certain rules and regulations of the SEC which at any time permit the sale of
the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, so long as the
Purchasers still own Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its
reasonable best efforts to:
 
(a)         make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times;
 
(b)         file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents
required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and
 
(c)         so long as a Purchaser owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to
such Purchaser, upon any reasonable request, a written statement by the Company
as to its compliance with Rule 144 and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most
recent annual or quarterly report of the Company if not publicly available, and
such other reports and documents of the Company as such Purchaser may reasonably
request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing a
Purchaser to sell any such securities without registration.
 
Section 6.8              Transfers of Registration Rights.  The provisions of
this Article VI hereof will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto, except as otherwise
provided herein; provided, however, that the registration rights granted hereby
may be transferred only (i) by operation of Law or (ii) to any Person to whom
the Purchasers transfer Registrable Securities, provided that any such
transferee shall not be entitled to rights pursuant to this Article VI unless
such transferee of registration rights hereunder agrees to be bound by the terms
and conditions of this Article VI and executes and delivers to the Company an
acknowledgment and agreement to such effect.
 
31

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
Section 6.9              Waiver of Registration Rights.  The rights of any
Purchaser under any provision of this Article VI may be waived (either generally
or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively and either
for a specified period of time or indefinitely) or amended by an instrument in
writing signed by the Purchasers holding not less than a majority of the
Registrable Securities; provided, however, that no consideration shall be
offered or paid to any person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of
any provision of this Article VI unless the same consideration also is offered
to all Purchasers that hold Registrable Securities.
 
ARTICLE VII
Additional Agreements
 
Section 7.1               Contractual Preemptive Rights
 
.  Subject to (i) the terms and conditions specified in this Section 7.1 and
(ii) subject to Section 7.2 below regarding certain specific financing
transactions, the Company hereby grants to the Purchasers a right of first offer
with respect to future sales by the Company of New Securities.  Each Purchaser
shall be entitled to apportion the right of first offer hereby granted it among
itself and its partners and Affiliates in such proportions as it deems
appropriate.
 
Each time the Company proposes to offer any New Securities, the Company shall
first make an offering of such New Securities to Purchasers in accordance with
the following provisions:
 
(a)          The Company shall deliver a notice in accordance with Section 9.6
(“New Security Notice”) to the Purchasers stating (i) its bona fide intention to
offer such New Securities, (ii) the number of such New Securities to be offered
and (iii) the price and terms upon which it proposes to offer such New
Securities.
 
(b)          By written notification received by the Company within twenty (20)
calendar days after the giving of New Security Notice, each Purchaser may elect
to purchase, at the price and on the terms specified in the New Security Notice,
up to that portion of such New Securities that equals the proportion that the
number of shares of Common Stock issued and held by such Purchaser (assuming
full conversion and exercise of all convertible and exercisable securities then
outstanding) bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding (assuming full conversion and exercise of all convertible and
exercisable securities then outstanding).  The Company shall promptly, in
writing, inform each Purchaser that elects to purchase all the shares available
to it (a “Fully Exercising Purchaser”) of any other Purchaser’s failure to do
likewise.  During the ten (10) day period commencing after such information is
given, each Fully Exercising Purchaser may elect to purchase that portion of the
New Securities for which Purchasers were entitled to subscribe, but which were
not subscribed for by the Purchasers, that is equal to the proportion that the
number of shares of Common Stock issued and held by such Fully Exercising
Purchaser (assuming full conversion and exercise of all convertible and
exercisable securities then outstanding) bears to the total number of shares of
Common Stock then outstanding (assuming full conversion and exercise of all
convertible and exercisable securities then outstanding).
 
32

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(c)          If all New Securities that Purchasers are entitled to obtain
pursuant to Section 7.1(b) are not elected to be obtained as provided in Section
7.1(b) hereof, the Company may, during the thirty (30) day period following the
expiration of the period provided in Section 7.1(b) hereof, offer the remaining
unsubscribed portion of such New Securities to any person or persons at a price
not less than that, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than those,
specified in the New Security Notice.  If the Company does not enter into an
agreement for the sale of the New Securities within such period, or if such
agreement is not consummated within fifteen (15) days of the execution thereof,
the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New
Securities shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Purchasers in
accordance herewith.
 
(d)          The right of first offer in this Section 7.1 shall not be
applicable to (i) the issuance of (A) options to purchase up to 300,000 shares
of Common Stock to employees, directors, consultants and other service
providers, at an exercise price per share not less than the greater of (x)
Series B Conversion Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) or (y)
the Market Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), in each case,
as in effect immediately prior to such issuance, and (B) up to 150,000 shares of
restricted Common Stock, in each case under clauses (A) and (B), pursuant to the
Company’s 2007 Omnibus Securities and Incentive Plan and for the primary purpose
of soliciting or compensation for their past or future services, (ii) the
issuance of securities pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or
exercisable securities outstanding as of the date hereof (including the Series A
Preferred Stock), (iii) issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the
redemption Notes as described and in accordance with Section 7.5 and (iv) the
issuance of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Agreement (collectively,
the “Excluded Issuances”).
 
Section 7.2                Certain Rights of First Offer.
 
(a)          Notwithstanding Section 7.1 above regarding the right of first
offer of the Purchasers, if at any point the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
proposes, directly or indirectly, an equity or debt financing (other than with
respect to the Excluded Issuances and The PrivateBank senior secured
indebtedness or any refinancing or replacement of such bank senior secured
indebtedness), the Company shall deliver to the Purchasers written notice in
accordance with Section 9.6 (the “Financing Notice”) setting forth the total
amount (which can be a range of amounts) that the Company proposes to raise for
purposes of completing one or both of the transactions set forth above and any
other proposed terms and conditions of the proposed financing.
 
(b)          The Purchasers shall have the exclusive right (unless waived in
writing by the Purchasers), for a period of 30 days after receipt of the
Financing Notice, to deliver a proposed term sheet to the Company and to
negotiate the proposed terms and conditions of the proposed financing for the
transactions set forth in Section 7.2(a).
 
33

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(c)          If the Company and the Purchasers have not executed a letter of
intent with respect to the financing proposed by this Section 7.2 within such
30-day period, then the Company shall have the right, for a period of an
additional 30 days after the expiration of such 30-day period, to solicit third
party offers from, and negotiate with, any Person other than the Purchasers to
enter into the proposed financing on terms no more favorable to the third party
than those offered to the Purchasers as set forth in the Financing Notice
delivered by the Company to the Purchasers with respect to such proposed
financing.  If, within such additional 30-day period, the Company obtains a bona
fide offer from a third party to enter into the financing proposed by this
Section 7.2 on terms no more favorable to the third party than those offered to
the Purchasers with the Company as set forth in the Financing Notice, then the
Company shall deliver written notice thereof to the Purchasers.  In the event
the Company does not obtain a third party offer within such 30-day period or
such offer is on terms that are more favorable to the third party than those
offered to the Purchaser as set forth in the Financing Notice, the Company shall
not thereafter enter into any such financing without first delivering a new
Financing Notice to the Purchasers and complying with the other provisions of
this Section 7.2.
 
Section 7.3               Co-Sale Provisions.
 
(a)          Subject to subsection (g) below, any of the following transfers for
value (for purposes of this Section 7.3 referred to as a “sale”) of shares of
Common Stock or Preferred Stock shall be subject to this Section 7.3: (i) a sale
by each of the Stockholders together in one transaction or a series of related
transactions; (ii) a sale by any Stockholder (other than Sam Youngblood) of any
of the shares of Common Stock held by such Stockholder that are subject to the
lock-up agreements referred in Section 2.34 and Section 4.8 hereof; provided,
however, that the Purchasers shall not have any rights pursuant to this Section
7.3(a)(ii) with respect to any such shares of Common Stock until such
Stockholder (or any permitted transferee under clauses (A), (B), (C) or (D)
below) sells in one or more transactions (whether or not related) more than 25%
of such shares of Common Stock held by such Stockholder as of the date hereof;
(iii) a sale by any Stockholder (other than Sam Youngblood) of shares of Common
Stock held by such Stockholder to Argyle Joint Venture; (iv) a sale of
Contributed Shares by Argyle Joint Venture as a result of the application of
clause (C) below; or (v) in connection with a Co-Sale Control
Event.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the restrictions on transfer
contained in this Section 7.3 shall not apply to (A) any sales of shares of
Common Stock by the Stockholders pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act;
provided, however, that this in no way limits the registration rights of the
Purchasers pursuant to Article VI, including, but not limited to, the piggy-back
rights described in Section 6.2; (B) the transfer of any or all of the shares of
Common Stock owned by a Stockholder, either during their lifetime or on death,
by gift, will or intestate succession, to the immediate family of such
Stockholder or to a trust the beneficiaries of which are exclusively such
Stockholder and/or a member or members of such Stockholder’s immediate family;
(C) the transfer of shares of Common Stock by any Stockholder (other than Sam
Youngblood) by capital contribution to Argyle Joint Venture (the “Contributed
Shares”); or (D) the transfer by a Stockholder to an Affiliate; provided,
however, that in the case of clauses (B), (C) and (D) above, it shall be a
condition to such transfer that the transferee executes and delivers to the
Purchasers an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the
shares of Common Stock subject to the provisions of this Section 7.3, and there
shall be no further transfer of such shares of Common Stock, except in
accordance with this Section 7.3.  Shares to be transferred in connection with
the transactions described in this Section 7.3 are referred to as the “Co-Sale
Shares” and any Persons participating in such transaction are collectively
referred to as the “Co-Seller.”
 
34

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(b)          In connection with any proposed transfer that is subject to this
Section 7.3, the Company shall give written notice to the Purchasers in
accordance with Section 9.6 (the “Co-Sale Notice”) at least twenty (20) days
prior to any proposed transfer that is subject to this Section 7.3.  The Co-Sale
Notice shall specify the proposed transferee, whether such proposed transferee
is willing to purchase shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock then held by
the Purchasers and, if so, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock or
Preferred Stock such proposed transferee is willing to purchase from the
Purchasers, the number of Co-Sale Shares to be transferred to such proposed
transferee, the amount and type of consideration to be received therefor, and
the place and date on which the transfer is expected to be consummated.  The
Co-Sale Notice shall include an offer (the “Participation Offer”) by the
Co-Seller to include in the proposed transfer on the terms described in
paragraph (c) below a number of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock
designated by the Purchasers, not to exceed, the product of (A) the sum of the
aggregate number of Co-Sale Shares to be sold to the proposed transferee plus
the maximum number of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock such proposed
transferee is willing to purchase from the Purchasers and (B) a fraction with a
numerator equal to the number of shares of Fully-Diluted Common Stock held by
the Purchasers and a denominator equal to the number of shares of Fully-Diluted
Common Stock held by the Co-Seller and the Purchasers.
 
(c)          Except as set forth herein and in paragraph (b) above, the per
share consideration to be received for any shares of Common Stock or Preferred
Stock included in a proposed transfer hereunder shall be the same per share
consideration to be received as set forth in the Participation Offer.  The
Purchasers shall notify the Company not more than five (5) business days after
the date of the Co-Sale Notice, failing which the Purchasers shall not be
entitled to participate in the proposed transfer.
 
(d)          The Participation Offer shall be conditioned upon the actual
transfer of Co-Sale Shares pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the
Co-Sale Notice with the transferee named therein.  If the Purchasers accept the
Participation Offer, the number of Co-Sale Shares shall be reduced to the extent
necessary so as to permit the Purchasers to sell the number of shares that they
are entitled to sell under this Section 7.3, and the Co-Seller and the
Purchasers shall sell the number of shares specified in the Participation Offer
to the proposed transferee in accordance with the terms of such sale as set
forth in the Co-Sale Notice.  If the proposed transferee refuses to purchase
from the Purchasers the number of shares that they are entitled to sell under
this Section 7.3, then (i) the Co-Seller shall be entitled to sell up to the
number of shares specified in the Participation Offer to the proposed transferee
in accordance with the terms of such sale as set forth in the Co-Sale Notice and
(ii) the Co-Seller shall then purchase from the Purchasers, on the terms set
forth in the Co-Sale Notice, up to the number of shares that they would have
been entitled to sell under this Section 7.3 had the proposed transferee
purchased such shares directly from the Purchasers in accordance with the terms
of this Section 7.3.  The Purchasers shall not be liable under this Section 7.3
for any transaction costs associated with such a transfer other than the legal
costs incurred by the Purchasers.
 
35

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(e)          The Purchasers shall not be required to make any representations or
warranties in connection with a transfer pursuant to this Section 7.3 other than
representations and warranties as to (i) the Purchasers’ ownership of the shares
of Common Stock or Preferred Stock to be transferred free and clear of all
liens, claims and other encumbrances other than those arising under this
Agreement or the constituent documents of the Company, (ii) the Purchasers’
power and authority to effect such transfer, and (iii) such matters pertaining
to compliance with securities Laws as the transferee may reasonably require;
provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt the parties acknowledge that the
consideration to be received by the Co-Seller and the Purchasers may consist of,
among other things, an interest in an escrow account, a security or other
consideration, the ultimate value of which may be dependent upon, among other
things, the accuracy of representations and warranties relating to the Company
and its business or the future performance of the Company; provided, however,
any liability with respect of the Purchasers to any indemnification claim
relating to representations and warranties, covenants or other agreements
relating to the Company or any Co-Seller shall be several (and not joint and
several) and the Purchasers’ liability with respect to such claims shall not
exceed their proportionate share thereof based on their Fully-Diluted Common
Stock ownership percentage relative to the Co-Seller.
 
(f)          The closing of such purchase by the transferee shall be on the same
date that the transferee acquires the Co-Sale Shares, provided that the
Purchasers have been given twenty (20) days advance notice of such closing;
provided further, however, that any such closing shall be delayed, to the extent
required, until the next succeeding business day after the obtaining of all
other governmental approvals reasonably deemed necessary by a party to the
transfer.
 
(g)          Nothing in this Section 7.3 shall restrict or in any way inhibit
the rights of the Purchasers to exercise their rights under the right of first
refusal agreements described in Section 7.4.
 
Section 7.4                Right of First Refusal.
 
(a)          If, on or after the date hereof through January 31, 2010 (the “ROFR
Period”), any Stockholder desires to, directly or indirectly, sell, assign,
transfer, pledge, encumber, hypothecate, convey in trust, transfer by gift,
bequest or descent, or otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily or by operation
of law (in any such case, a “Transfer”), any shares of capital stock of the
Company (“Stock”), such Stockholder shall promptly deliver to the Purchasers a
written notice signed by the Stockholder (the “ROFR Notice”) stating (a) the
Stockholder’s bona fide intention to Transfer such Stock; (b) the name and
address of each proposed transferee; (c) the number of shares of Stock to be
Transferred to each transferee (the “ROFR Shares”) and (d) the cash purchase
price per share.  A copy of any written offer, if available, shall be attached
to the Notice. If a copy of a written offer is not available, a statement of the
terms of the offer and any material facts shall be attached to the Notice.  The
consideration for any proposed Transfer of Stock by a Stockholder during the
ROFR Period shall be for cash only, unless otherwise previously consented to in
writing by the Purchasers.
 
36

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(b)          Each of the Purchasers shall have the irrevocable and exclusive
option to purchase up to that number of the ROFR Shares equal to the product of
(A) the number of ROFR Shares multiplied by (B) the respective pro rata share of
such Purchaser based upon the ratio that the number of shares of Fully-Diluted
Common Stock held by each of such Purchaser bears to the number of shares of
Fully-Diluted Common Stock held by all of the Purchasers.  Within 10 days after
delivery of the ROFR Notice, any of the Purchasers may deliver a written notice
(the “Purchaser ROFR Notice”) to the Stockholder and each other Purchaser.  To
the extent any Purchaser does not elect to purchase its full pro rata share of
such remaining ROFR Shares or fails to deliver a notice within the applicable
period, the other Purchasers, if they have elected to purchase their full pro
rata share, shall be entitled, by delivering written notice to the Stockholder
within five days following the expiration of such period, to purchase up to all
of the remaining ROFR Shares based upon their respective pro rata holdings of
Fully-Diluted Common Stock.  If there is an oversubscription, the oversubscribed
amount shall be allocated among the Purchasers pro rata based upon the number of
shares of Fully-Diluted Common Stock owned by each of them.  The delivery of the
Purchaser ROFR Notice shall constitute an irrevocable commitment to purchase
such ROFR Shares for the per share cash purchase price set forth in the  Notice
and on the other terms set forth in this Agreement.
 
(c)          The purchase price for the ROFR Shares to be purchased by the
exercising Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid within 15 days
after expiration of all applicable periods set forth above. Payment of the
purchase price shall be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available
funds.  Upon delivery of the purchase price, the Stockholder shall have no
further rights as a holder of the ROFR Shares, and the Stockholders shall
immediately cause all certificate(s) evidencing such ROFR Shares to be
surrendered for transfer to the purchasing Purchaser, duly endorsed for transfer
or accompanied by duly executed stock powers.
 
(d)          If the Purchasers have not elected to purchase all of the ROFR
Shares, then the Stockholder shall not be required to sell any of the ROFR
Shares to the Purchasers and may transfer all of the ROFR Shares to any person
named as a transferee in the Notice at the cash purchase price set forth in the
Notice or a higher cash price, provided that such Transfer (i) is consummated
within 60 days after the expiration of all applicable periods set forth above,
(ii) is on terms no more favorable than the terms proposed in the Notice, and
(iii) is in accordance with all the terms of this Agreement.  If the ROFR Shares
are not so Transferred during such period, then the Stockholder may not Transfer
any of such ROFR Shares without complying again in full with the provisions of
this Agreement.
 
37

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
Section 7.5              Redemption of Notes.  As soon as practicable after the
Closing, but in no event later than January 23, 2009, the Company shall have
consummated the redemption of Notes for shares of Common Stock pursuant to the
“Redemption of Note by Maker” provision of each of the Notes.
 
Section 7.6              Information.  At the request of the Purchasers, the
Company shall provide to the Purchasers all information which is delivered to
the Company’s board of directors, provided, however, that the Company shall not
be required to provide any information which (i) would cause a breach of an
attorney-client privilege or (ii) is information which the Company deems to be
material non-public information, in which case, the Purchasers may in its sole
