material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading.

     

    (g) Capitalization.  The
capitalization of the Company is as set forth on Schedule
3.1(g).  Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(g), the
Company has not issued any capital stock since its most recently filed periodic
report under the Exchange Act, other than pursuant to the exercise of employee
stock options under the Company’s stock option plans, the issuance of shares of
Common Stock to employees pursuant to the Company’s employee stock purchase
plans and pursuant to the conversion and/or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents
outstanding as of the date of the most recently filed periodic report under the
Exchange Act.  No Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive
right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents that has not been
waived.  Except as a result of the purchase and sale of the Securities
and except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, there are no outstanding options,
warrants, scrip rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character
whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe for
or acquire, any shares of Common Stock, or contracts, commitments,
understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may
become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents.  The issuance and sale of the Securities will not
obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any
Person (other than the Purchasers) and will not result in a right of any holder
of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset
price under any of such securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital
stock of the Company are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been
issued in compliance with all federal and state securities laws, and none of
such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or
similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities.  No further
approval or authorization of any stockholder, the Board of Directors or others
is required for the issuance and sale of the Securities.  There are no
stockholders agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with
respect to the Company’s capital stock to which the Company is a party or, to
the knowledge of the Company, between or among any of the Company’s
stockholders.

    (h) SEC Reports; Financial
Statements.  The Company has filed all reports, schedules,
forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by the Company under
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d) thereof, for the two years preceding the date hereof (or such shorter
period as the Company was required by law or regulation to file such material)
(the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents
incorporated by reference therein, together with the Prospectus and the
Prospectus Supplement, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”) on a
timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has
filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such
extension.  As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in
all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. The Company has never been an issuer subject to Rule 144(i) under
the Securities Act. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC
Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements
and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in
effect at the time of filing.  Such financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”), except as may
be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto and
except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes
required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial
position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of and for the
dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then
ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial,
year-end audit adjustments.

     

    (i) Material Changes;
Undisclosed Events, Liabilities or Developments.  Since the
date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC Reports,
except as specifically disclosed in a subsequent SEC Report filed prior to the
date hereof, (i) there has been no event, occurrence or development that has had
or that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect,
(ii) the Company has not incurred any liabilities (contingent or otherwise)
other than (A) trade payables and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary
course of business consistent with past practice and (B) liabilities not
required to be reflected in the Company’s financial statements pursuant to GAAP
or disclosed in filings made with the Commission, (iii) the Company has not
altered its method of accounting, (iv) the Company has not declared or made any
dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its stockholders or
purchased, redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or redeem any shares of
its capital stock and (v) the Company has not issued any equity securities to
any officer, director or Affiliate, except pursuant to existing Company stock
option plans.  The Company does not have pending before the Commission
any request for confidential treatment of information.  Except for the
issuance of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement or as set forth on
Schedule
3.1(i), no event, liability or development has occurred or exists with
respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective business,
properties, operations or financial condition, that would be required to be
disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws at the time this
representation is made or deemed made 

     

    
      
         

      

      
        11

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    that has
not been publicly disclosed at least 1 Trading Day prior to the date that this
representation is made.

     

    (j) Litigation.  There
is no action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation
pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the
Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties before or by any
court, arbitrator, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority
(federal, state, county, local or foreign) (collectively, an “Action”) which (i)
adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any
of the Transaction Documents or the Securities or (ii) could, if there were an
unfavorable decision, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor any
director or officer thereof, is or 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.  There has not been, and to the
knowledge of the Company, there is not pending or contemplated, any
investigation by the Commission involving the Company or any current or former
director or officer of the Company.  The Commission has not issued any
stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration
statement filed by the Company or any Subsidiary under the Exchange Act or the
Securities Act.

     

    (k) Labor
Relations.  No material labor dispute exists or, to the
knowledge of the Company, is imminent with respect to any of the employees of
the Company, which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.  None of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ employees is a
member of a union that relates to such employee’s relationship with the Company
or such Subsidiary, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a
party to a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries
believe that their relationships with their employees are good.  No
executive officer, to the knowledge of the Company, is, or is now expected to
be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract,
confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement or
non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive
covenant in favor of any third party, and the continued employment of each such
executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any
liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters.  The Company
and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local and
foreign laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices,
terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the failure
to be in compliance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     

    (l) Compliance.  Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary: (i) is in default under or in violation of (and
no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of
time or both, would result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary under),
nor has the Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in
default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit
agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by
which it or any of its properties is bound (whether or not such default or
violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any order of any court,
arbitrator or governmental body or (iii) is or has been 

     

    
      
         

      

      
        12

        
          

        

      

      
         


    

    in
violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority,
including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws
applicable to its business and all such laws that affect the environment, except
in each case as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

     

    (m) Regulatory
Permits.  The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all
certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,
state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their
respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports, except where the failure
to possess such permits could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect (“Material Permits”),
and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of
proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any Material
Permit.

     

    (n) Title to
Assets.  The Company and the Subsidiaries have good title in
fee simple to all real property owned by them and good title in all personal
property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens as do
not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere
with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and
the Subsidiaries and Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, the
payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties.  Any
real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and the
Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases
with which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance.

     

    (o) Patents and
Trademarks.  The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have
rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark
applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights,
licenses and other intellectual property rights and similar rights necessary or
material for use in connection with their respective businesses as described in
the SEC Reports and which the failure to so have could have a Material Adverse
Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property
Rights”).  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received
a notice (written or otherwise) that any of the Intellectual Property Rights
used by the Company or any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of
any Person.  To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual
Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another
Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights.  The Company and
its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy,
confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except where
failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     

    (p) Insurance.  The
Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial
responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent
and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are
engaged, including, but not limited to, directors and officers insurance
coverage at least equal to the aggregate Subscription Amount.  Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be
able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires
or to obtain similar coverage from similar 

     

    
      
         

      

      
        13

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    insurers
as may be necessary to continue its business without a significant increase in
cost.

     

    (q) Transactions With Affiliates
and Employees.  Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, none of
the officers or directors of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company,
none of the employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction
with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for services as employees,
officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement
providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real
or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any
officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any
entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial
interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner, in each case in excess
of $120,000 other than for (i) payment of salary or consulting fees for services
rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company and
(iii) other employee benefits, including stock option agreements under any stock
option plan of the Company.

     

    (r) Sarbanes-Oxley; Internal
Accounting Controls.  The Company is in material compliance
with all provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which are applicable to it
as of the Closing Date.  The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a
system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable
assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s
general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary
to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to
maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in
accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the
recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at
reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any
differences. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and
designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under
the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the
time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.  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
Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date,
the “Evaluation
Date”).  The Company presented in its most recently filed
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 changes in the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting.

     

    (s) Certain
Fees.  Except as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement, no
brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company
to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent,
investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction 

     

    
      
         

      

      
        14

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Documents.  The
Purchasers shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to
any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated
in this Section that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents.

     

    (t) Investment Company.
The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of
payment for the Securities, will not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment
company” within the meaning of 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 Company Act of 1940, as
amended.

     

    (u) Registration
Rights.  No Person has any right to cause the Company to effect
the registration under the Securities Act of any securities of the
Company.

     

    (v) Listing and Maintenance
Requirements.  The Common Stock is registered pursuant to
Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action
designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of,
terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has
the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating
terminating such registration.  The Company has not, in the 12 months
preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market on which the
Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is
not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading
Market. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the
foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and
maintenance requirements.

     

    (w) Application of Takeover
Protections.  The Company and the Board of Directors have taken
all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share
acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under
a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s
certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its
state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a
result of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or
exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without
limitation as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the
Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.

     

    (x) Disclosure.  Except
with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company confirms that neither it
nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any other Person acting on its behalf has
provided any of the Purchasers or their agents or counsel with any information
that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public
information which is not otherwise disclosed in the Prospectus
Supplement.   The Company understands and confirms that the
Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions
in securities of the Company.  All disclosure furnished by or on
behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company, its business and
the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules to this
Agreement, is true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any 

     

    
      
         

      

      
        15

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    material
fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The press releases
disseminated by the Company during the twelve months preceding the date of this
Agreement taken as a whole do not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit 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 and when made, not misleading.  The Company
acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any representations
or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than
those specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.

     

    (y) No Integrated
Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and
warranties set forth in Section 3.2, neither the Company, nor any of its
Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or
indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to
buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the
Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of
any applicable stockholder approval provisions of any Trading Market on which
any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.

     

    (z) Solvency.  Based
on the financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date after giving
effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the
Securities hereunder, (i) the Company’s fair saleable value of its assets
exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the
Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent
liabilities) as they mature; (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute
unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year
as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs
taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business
conducted by the Company, and projected capital requirements and capital
availability thereof; and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together
with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its
assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be
sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are
required to be paid.  The Company does not intend to incur debts
beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the
timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its
debt).  After giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the
proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder, the Company has no knowledge
of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for
reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any
jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date.  The SEC Reports
set forth as of the dates thereof all outstanding secured and unsecured
Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any
Subsidiary has commitments.  For the purposes of this Agreement,
“Indebtedness” shall mean (a) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed
in excess of $50,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary
course of business), (b) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent
obligations in respect of Indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or
should be reflected in the Company’s balance sheet (or the notes thereto),
except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or
collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (c)
the 

     

    
      
         

      

      
        16

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    present
value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be
capitalized in accordance with GAAP.  Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.

     

    (aa) Tax
Status.  Except for matters that would not, individually or in
the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, the Company and each Subsidiary has filed all necessary federal, state
and foreign income and franchise tax returns and has paid or accrued all taxes
shown as due thereon, and the Company has no knowledge of a tax deficiency which
has been asserted or threatened against the Company or any
Subsidiary.

     

    (bb) Foreign Corrupt
Practices.  Neither the Company, nor to the knowledge of the
Company, any agent or other person acting on behalf of the Company, has (i)
directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions, gifts,
entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic
political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic
government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political
parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any
contribution made by the Company (or made by any person acting on its behalf of
which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law, or (iv) violated in
any material respect any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977,
as amended.

     

    (cc) Accountants.  The
Company’s accounting firm is set forth on Schedule 3.1(cc) of
the Disclosure Schedules.  To the knowledge and belief of the Company,
such accounting firm (i) is a registered public accounting firm as required by
the Exchange Act and (ii) shall express its opinion with respect to the
financial statements to be included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year
ending December 31, 2008.

     

    (dd)  Acknowledgment Regarding
Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities.  The Company acknowledges
and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely in the capacity of an
arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the
transactions contemplated thereby.  The Company further acknowledges
that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company
(or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the
transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any
of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction
Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental to the
Purchasers’ purchase of the Securities.  The Company further
represents to each Purchaser that the Company’s decision to enter into this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely on the
independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company
and its representatives.

     

    (ee) Acknowledgement Regarding
Purchaser’s Trading Activity.  Anything in this Agreement or
elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding (except for
Sections 3.2(e) and 4.14 hereof), it is understood and acknowledged by the
Company that: (i) none of the Purchasers have been asked by the Company to
agree, nor has any Purchaser agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long
and/or short, securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities based on
securities issued by the Company or to hold the 

     

    
      
         

      

      
        17

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Securities
for any specified term; (ii) that past or future open market or other
transactions by any Purchaser, specifically including, without limitation, Short
Sales or “derivative” transactions, before or after the closing of this or
future private placement transactions, may negatively impact the market price of
the Company’s publicly-traded securities; (iii) that any Purchaser, and
counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to which any such Purchaser is a
party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the
Common Stock, and (iv) that each Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any
affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter-party in any
“derivative” transaction.  The Company further understands and
acknowledges that (y) one or more Purchasers may engage in hedging activities at
various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including,
without limitation, during the periods that the value of the Warrant Shares
deliverable with respect to Securities are being determined, and (z) such
hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders'
equity interests in the Company at and after the time that the hedging
activities are being conducted.  The Company acknowledges that such
aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of any of the
Transaction Documents.

     

    (ff) Regulation M
Compliance.  The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting
on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to
cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any
security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the
Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or, paid any compensation for
soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay
to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other
securities of the Company, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii),
compensation paid to the Company’s placement agent in connection with the
placement of the Securities.

     

    3.2   Representations and
Warranties of the Purchasers.  Each
Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants
as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as
follows:

     

    (a) Organization;
Authority.  Such Purchaser is an entity duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization with full right, corporate or partnership power and authority to
enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution
and delivery of this Agreement and performance by such Purchaser of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate or similar action on the part of such
Purchaser.  Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been
duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in
accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding
obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general
application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as
limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive
relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and
contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

    (b) Own
Account.  Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities as
principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or
reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act
or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing
any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable
state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings
with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such
Securities (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right
to sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise in
compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws) in violation of
the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law.  Such
Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its
business.

     

    (c) Purchaser
Status.  At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities,
it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises
any Warrants, it will be either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule
501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a
“qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities
Act.  Such Purchaser is not required to be registered as a
broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act.

     

    (d) Experience of Such
Purchaser.  Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its
representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business
and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits
and risks of such investment.  Such Purchaser is able to bear the
economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is
able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

     

    (e) Short Sales and Confidentiality Prior
To The Date Hereof.  Other than consummating the transactions
contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on
behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or
indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the
securities of the Company on June 19, 2008 (“Discussion
Time”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a
Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio
managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio
managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the
portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the
representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of
assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to
purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.  Other than to
other Persons party to this Agreement, such Purchaser has maintained the
confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this
transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein
shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with
respect to the identification of the availability of, or securing of, available
shares to borrow in order to effect short sales or similar transactions in the
future.

    ARTICLE
IV.

    OTHER
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

     

    4.1   Warrant
Shares. If all or
any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective
registration statement to cover the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares or
if the Warrant is exercised via cashless exercise, the Warrant Shares issued
pursuant to any such exercise shall be issued free of all legends.  If
at any time following the date hereof the Registration Statement (or any
subsequent registration statement registering the Warrant Shares) is not
effective or is not otherwise available for the sale or resale of the Warrant
Shares, the Company shall immediately notify the holders of the Warrants in
writing that such registration statement is not then effective and thereafter
shall promptly notify such holders when the registration statement is effective
again and available for the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares.  The
Company shall use best efforts to keep a registration statement (including the
Registration Statement) registering the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares
effective during the term of the Warrants.

     

    4.2   Furnishing of
Information. Until
the earliest of the time that (i) no Purchaser owns Securities or (ii) the
Warrants have expired, the Company covenants to use reasonable efforts to timely
file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable
grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date
hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to
the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.  As long as any
Purchaser owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports
pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and
make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is
required for the Purchasers to sell the Securities under Rule 144. The Company
further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of
Securities may reasonably request, to the extent required from time to time to
enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration under the
Securities Act within the requirements of the exemption provided by Rule
144.

     

    4.3   Integration.  The
Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise
negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities
Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for
purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would
require stockholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction
unless stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent
transaction.

     

    4.4   Securities Laws Disclosure;
Publicity.  The Company shall, by 8:30 a.m. (New York City
time) on the Trading Day immediately following the date hereof, issue a Current
Report on Form 8-K, disclosing the material terms of the transactions
contemplated hereby, and including the Transaction Documents as exhibits
thereto.  The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other
in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any
such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the
prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any
Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any
press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld
or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the
disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of
such public 

     

    
      
         

      

      
        20

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    statement
or communication.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any
Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading
Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (a) as
required by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final
Transaction Documents (including signature pages thereto) with the Commission
and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market
regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior
notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b).

     

    4.5   Stockholder Rights
Plan.  No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or,
with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser is an
“Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination,
poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar
anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company,
or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan
or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction
Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the
Purchasers.

     

    4.6   Non-Public
Information.  Except with respect to the material terms and
conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the
Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its
behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information
that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless
prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding
the confidentiality and use of such information.  The Company
understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing
covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

     

    4.7   Use of
Proceeds.  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.7 attached
hereto, the Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities
hereunder for working capital purposes and shall not use such proceeds for: (a)
the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of
trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior
practices), (b) the redemption of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
or (c) the settlement of any outstanding litigation.

     

    4.8   Indemnification of
Purchasers.   Subject to the provisions of this Section
4.8, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors,
officers, stockholders, members, partners and agents (and any other Persons with
a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a
lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser
(within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the
Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, stockholders, agents, members or
partners (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person
holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of
such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”)
harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims,
contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts
paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of
investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of
or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other
Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against a Purchaser in any


     

    
      
         

      

      
        21

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    capacity,
or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company
who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser, with respect to any of the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is
based upon a breach of such Purchaser’s representations, warranties or covenants
under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such
Purchaser may have with any such stockholder or any violations by the Purchaser
of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser which
constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or
malfeasance).  If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser
Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement,
such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the
Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its
own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party.  Any
Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent
that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company
in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to
assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in
the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any
material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such
Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the
reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate
counsel.  The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under
this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the
Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage
or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser
Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.

     

    4.9   Reservation of Common
Stock.  As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the
Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of
preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose
of enabling the Company to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement and ___________1 Warrant Shares pursuant to any
exercise of the Warrants.  Following the date Stockholder Approval is
obtained and deemed effective, the Company shall reserve and keep available at
all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common
Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue all of the Warrant Shares
pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.  The Company shall hold an
annual meeting of stockholders on August 11, 2008, or as soon thereafter as
practicable, for the purpose of obtaining Stockholder Approval, with the
recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors that such proposal be
approved, and the Company shall solicit proxies from its stockholders in
connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals in
such proxy statement and all management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their
proxies in favor of such proposal. If the Company does not obtain Stockholder
Approval at the first meeting, the Company shall call a meeting every three
months thereafter to seek Stockholder Approval until the earlier of the date
Stockholder Approval is obtained.

     

    4.10  
 
Listing of Common
Stock.

     

    (a)   The
Company hereby agrees to use best efforts to maintain the listing and quotation
of the Common Stock on a Trading Market, and as soon as 

    

      
        

      

    

    
      
        	
                1

              	
                To

  determined.

    reasonably
practicable following the Closing (but not later than the Closing Date) to list
or quote on such Trading Market (a) all of the Shares and at least _______ Warrant Shares
and (b) following Stockholder Approval, all Shares and Warrant Shares. The
Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded
on any other Trading Market, it will then include in such application all of the
Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to
cause all of the Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed or quoted on such other
Trading Market as promptly as possible.  The Company will then take
all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its
Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the
Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of
the Trading Market.

     

    4.11   Equal Treatment of
Purchasers.  No consideration shall be offered or paid to any
Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any
of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to
all of the parties to the Transaction Documents.  For clarification
purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser
by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for
the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be
construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the
purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.

     

    4.12   Restriction on Transfer on
Public Markets.  Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with
the other Purchasers, hereby agrees that it shall not trade the Warrants on any
public market and shall require any subsequent transferee of the Warrant to
agree to this covenant as a condition to acquiring such Warrant; provided,
however, that this restriction shall not prohibit a Purchaser from transferring
the Warrants to a third Person other than through the public markets, including
but not limited to, through a private sale.

     

    4.13   Subsequent Equity
Sales.

     

    (a) From the
date hereof until 60 days after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary shall issue shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents,
including but not limited to, draw downs of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents pursuant to the Azimuth Agreement or Azimuth Transactions; provided, however, the 60 day
period set forth in this Section 4.13 shall be extended for the number of
Trading Days during such period in which (i) trading in the Common Stock is
suspended by any Trading Market, or (ii) the Registration Statement is not
effective or the prospectus included in the Registration Statement may not be
used by the Purchasers for the resale of the Shares and Warrant
Shares.

     

    (b) From the
date hereof until such time as Purchasers shall fail to hold, in the aggregate,
at least 25% of the Securities issued hereunder, the Company shall be prohibited
from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any Subsequent Financing
involving a Variable Rate Transaction.  “Variable Rate
Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company issues or sells (i)
any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or
exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional shares of Common
Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other
price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or

    quotations
for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such
debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price
that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of
such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent
events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the
market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into any agreement, including, but
not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may sell
securities at a future determined price; provided, however, that an
Azimuth Transaction shall not be considered to be a Variable Rate
Transaction.  Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive
relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be
in addition to any right to collect damages.

     

    (c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 4.13 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt
Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt
Issuance.

     

    4.14   Short Sales and
Confidentiality After The Date Hereof. Each Purchaser, severally and
not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it nor any
Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will
execute any Short Sales during the period commencing with the Discussion Time
and ending at such time the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are
first publicly announced as described in Section 4.4.  Each Purchaser,
severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such
time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed
by the Company as described in Section 4.4, such Purchaser will maintain the
confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the
information included in the Disclosure Schedules.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby
that it will not engage in Short Sales in the securities of the Company after
the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly
announced as described in Section 4.4.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby
separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets
and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions
made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s
assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the
portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment
decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.

     

    4.15           Delivery of Securities After
Closing.  The Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered,
the respective Securities purchased by each Purchaser to such Purchaser within 3
Trading Days of the Closing Date.

    MISCELLANEOUS

     

    5.1   Termination.

termination will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by the
other party (or parties).

Expenses.  Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction
Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its

delivery and performance of this Agreement.  The Company shall pay all
Transfer Agent fees, stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection
with the delivery of any Securities to the Purchasers.

     

    5.3   Entire
Agreement.  The Transaction Documents, together with the
exhibits and schedules thereto, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement,
contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or
written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been
merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.

     

    5.4   Notices.  Any
and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to

    5.5   Amendments;
Waivers.  No provision of this Agreement may be waived or
amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by
the Company and the Purchasers of at least 67% of the Shares still held by the
Purchasers or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of
any such waived provision is sought.  No waiver of any default with
respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be
deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent
default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor
shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any
manner impair the exercise of any such right.

     

    5.6   Headings.  The
headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this
Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof.

     

    5.7   Successors and
Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted
assigns.  The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser (other
than by merger).  Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights
under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers
any Securities, provided such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with
respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction
Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”

    5.8   No Third-Party
Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is intended for the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is
not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other
Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.8.

     

    5.9   Governing
Law.  All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by
and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of
New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law
thereof.  Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the
interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a
party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, stockholders,
employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal
courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to
the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City
of New York, borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder
or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or
discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the
Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert
in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject
to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is
improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding.  Each party
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process
being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof
via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of
delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this
Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall
be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner
permitted by law.  If either party shall commence an action or
proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the
prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other
party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred
with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or
proceeding.

representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and
the delivery of the Securities for the applicable statute of
limitations.

     

    5.11   Execution.  This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken
together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the
other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same
counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by
facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such
signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or
on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if
such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

     

    5.12   Severability.  If
any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable,
the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth
herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected,
impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto

    shall use
their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to
achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such
term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared
to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining
terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that
may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

     

    5.13   Rescission and Withdrawal
Right.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
(and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction
Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option
under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related
obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind
or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the
Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without
prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that in the
case of a rescission of an exercise of a Warrant, the Purchaser shall be
required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded
exercise notice.

     

    5.14   Replacement of
Securities.  If any certificate or instrument evidencing any
Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or
cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation
thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a
new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction.  The
applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall
also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity)
associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

     

    5.15   Remedies.  In
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by
law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will
be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction
Documents.  The parties agree that monetary damages may not be
adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of
obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agrees to waive
and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation
the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

     

    5.16   Payment Set
Aside.  To the extent that the Company makes a payment or
payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser
enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the
proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered
from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored
to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law
(including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common
law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been
made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

     

    5.17   Independent Nature of
Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights.  The obligations of each
Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the
obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any
way for the performance or 

     

    
      
         

      

      
        27

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    non-performance
of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction
Document.  Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction
Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed
to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture
or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in
any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.  Each
Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights
including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out
of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other
Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose.  Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate
legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction
Documents.  For reasons of administrative convenience only, Purchasers
and their respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through
FWS.  FWS does not represent all of the Purchasers but only Rodman
& Renshaw, LLC.  The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers
with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company
and not because it was required or requested to do so by the
Purchasers.

     

    5.18   Liquidated
Damages.  The Company’s obligations to pay any partial
liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a
continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid
partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the
fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated
damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been
canceled.

     

    5.19   Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays,
etc.  If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action
or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a
Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on
the next succeeding Business Day.

     

    5.20   Construction. The
parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and
had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the
normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be
resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation
of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.

     

    5.21   WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL.  IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR
PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE
PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY
WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
