REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES




3.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby makes the
following representations and warranties to each Investor:



(a) Subsidiaries. The Company has no direct or indirect Subsidiaries other than those
listed in Schedule 3.1(a). Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.1(a), the Company
owns, directly or indirectly, all of the capital stock of each Subsidiary free and clear of any and
all Liens, and all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary are
validly issued and are fully paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive and similar rights.



(b) Organization and Qualification. Each of the Company and each Subsidiary is an
entity duly incorporated or otherwise organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization (as applicable), with the requisite
power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as
currently conducted. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation of any of the
provisions of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other
organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and each Subsidiary is duly qualified to
conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each
jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted 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, could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect.



(c) Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the Transaction
Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery of
each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions
contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company
and no further action is required by the Company in connection therewith. Each Transaction
Document has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when
delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of
the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’
rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.



(d) No Conflicts. Neither the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction
Documents by the Company, the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby,
nor the sale of the Selling Stockholder Shares hereunder, (i) conflict with or violate any
provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or
other organizational or charter documents, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an
event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others
any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse
of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company
or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a
party or by which any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or
(iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or
other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company or a Subsidiary is
subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or
asset of the Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses
(ii) and (iii), for such conflicts, defaults or violations as could not, individually or in the
aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.



(e) Filings, Consents and Approvals. The Company is not required to obtain any
consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration
with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other Person in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents
or by reason of the sale of the Selling Stockholder Shares hereunder, other than (i) the filing
with the Commission of one or more Registration Statements in accordance with the requirements of
the Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) filings under state securities laws in accordance with the
requirements of the Registration Rights Agreement, which will be made prior to the Effectiveness
Date (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), (iii) the filings required in
accordance with Section 4.5, (iv) the filing of a Form D with the Commission and under applicable
state securities statutes pertaining to the purchase and sale contemplated by this Agreement, and
(v) those that have been made or obtained prior to the date of this Agreement. To the knowledge of
the Company, the Selling Stockholders are not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization
or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other
federal, state, local or other governmental authority or any other Person in connection with the
execution, delivery and performance by them of the Transaction Documents or by reason of the sale
of the Selling Stockholder Shares hereunder, except for such as could not, individually or in the
aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.



(f) Issuance of the Securities. The shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
Investors in accordance with Section 2.2(a)(i) have been duly authorized and, when issued and paid
for in accordance with Section 2.2(b)(ii), will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens. The Company has reserved from its duly authorized
capital stock such shares of Common Stock. When issued, the Selling Stockholder Shares were duly
authorized and were validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Each Selling Stockholder is the
sole record owner of its Selling Stockholder Shares to be sold hereunder.



(g) Capitalization. The number of shares and type of all authorized, issued and
outstanding capital stock of the Company, and all shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance
under the Company’s various option and incentive plans, is as set forth in Schedule 3.1(g).
No securities of the Company are entitled to preemptive or similar rights, and 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. Except as disclosed in
Schedule 3.1(g), 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 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
securities or rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock. The issue and sale
of the Shares and the Selling Stockholder Shares hereunder will not, immediately or with the
passage of time, obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any
Person (other than the Investors) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company
securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under such securities.
Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.1(g), all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of
the Company are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, 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 any capital stock of the
Company. No further approval or authorization of any stockholder, the Board of Directors of the
Company 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.

required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act for the twelve months preceding the date

filed any such SEC Disclosure Documents prior to the expiration of any such extension. As of their
respective dates, the SEC Disclosure Documents complied in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Disclosure Documents, 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 light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading. As of the date hereof, no filing needs to be made with the
Commission to update any SEC Disclosure Document or any prior disclosure made therein. The
financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Disclosure Documents were prepared in
accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved, except as may be
otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto, 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,

legality, validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents or the Securities or (ii)
except as set forth in the SEC Disclosure Documents, could, if there were an unfavorable decision,
individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. Except as set forth in the SEC Disclosure Documents, neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary, nor any presently serving director or officer thereof, is or has been during the
ten-year period prior to the Closing Date 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.



(l) 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.



(m) Compliance. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary (i) is in default under or in

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 in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental
authority, including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws relating to
taxes, environmental protection, occupational health and safety, product quality and safety and
employment and labor matters, except in each case as could not, individually or in the aggregate,
have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is in compliance
with the applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and the rules and
regulations thereunder, except where such noncompliance could not have or reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.



(n) 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 Disclosure
Documents, except where the failure to possess such permits would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or
modification of any such permits.



(o) Title to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries do not own any real property.
The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in all personal property owned by
them that is material to their respective businesses, in each case free and clear of all Liens,
except for Liens described in the SEC Disclosure Documents and 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. Any real property and facilities held
under lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and
enforceable leases of which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance, except as could
not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.



(p) Patents and Trademarks. The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have rights to
use, all Intellectual Property Rights that are necessary or material for use in connection with
their respective businesses as described in the SEC Disclosure Documents and which the failure to
so have could, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in the SEC Disclosure Documents, neither the Company
nor any Subsidiary has received a written notice that the Intellectual Property Rights used by the
Company or any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of any Person. Except as set forth
in the SEC Disclosure Documents, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and do not
violate or infringe upon the Intellectual Property Rights of others in any respect that would,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect
and, to the knowledge of the Company, there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of
the Intellectual Property Rights.



(q) 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. The Company has
no 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 insurers as may be necessary to
continue its business without a significant increase in cost.



(r) Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in the SEC
Disclosure Documents, none of the officers or directors of the Company and 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 any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial
interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.



(s) Internal Accounting Controls. 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
generally accepted accounting principles 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-14 and 15d-14)
for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material
information relating to the Company, including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying
officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s
Form 10-KSB or 10-QSB, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company’s certifying officers
have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures in accordance with Item
307 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act for the Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter
or fiscal year-end (such date, the “Evaluation Date"). Since the Evaluation Date, there have been
no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 308(c)
of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act), or in other factors that could significantly affect the
Company’s internal controls.



(t) Solvency. Based on the financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date
(and assuming that the Closing shall have occurred), (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).



(u) Certain Fees. Except as described in Schedule 3.1(u), 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 this Agreement. The Investors shall have no obligation with respect
to any fees or with respect to any claims (other than such fees or commissions owed by an Investor
pursuant to written agreements executed by such Investor which fees or commissions shall be the
sole responsibility of such Investor) 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
this Agreement.



(v) Certain Registration Matters. Assuming the accuracy of the Investors’
representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2(b)-(e), no registration under the
Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Securities by the Company and the Selling
Stockholders (as applicable) to the Investors under the Transaction Documents. Except as described
in Schedule 3.1(v), the Company has not granted or agreed to grant to any Person any rights
(including “piggy-back” registration rights) to have any securities of the Company registered with
the Commission or any other governmental authority that have not been satisfied. The Company is
eligible to register the resale of the Shares by the Investors under Form SB-2 promulgated under
the Securities Act and the Company hereby covenants and agrees to use its best efforts to maintain
its eligibility to use Form SB-2 until the Registration Statement covering the resale of Shares
shall have been filed with, and declared effective by, the Commission.



(w) Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to
Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which 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. Except as specified in the SEC Disclosure Documents, the Company has not, in
the two years preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market to the effect that
the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements thereof. The Company
is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in
compliance with the listing and maintenance requirements for continued listing of the Common Stock
on the Trading Market. The issuance and sale of the Securities under the Transaction Documents
does not contravene the rules and regulations of the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is
currently listed or quoted, and no approval of the shareholders of the Company thereunder is
required for the Company to issue and deliver to the Investors the Securities contemplated by the
Transaction Documents.



(x) Investment Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and
immediately after the Closing will not be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.



(y) Application of Takeover Protections. The Company has 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

ARTICLE IV.




OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES




4.1 Legend. (a) Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and
federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of the Securities other than pursuant to
an effective registration statement, to the Company, to an Affiliate of an Investor or in
connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor
thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and
substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such
transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act.



(b) Certificates evidencing the Securities will contain the following legend, until such time
as they are not required under Section 4.1(c):




THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION
FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD 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 ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THESE SECURITIES
MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT SECURED BY SUCH
SECURITIES.



The Company acknowledges and agrees that an Investor may from time to time pledge, and/or
grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement
in connection with a bona fide margin account and, if required under the terms of such agreement or
account, such Investor may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured
parties. The Company may not require its consent or approval to any such pledge or transfer, nor
will the Company request a legal opinion of legal counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor
in connection with the pledge, but such legal opinion may be required in connection with a
subsequent transfer following default by the Investor transferee of the pledge. No notice shall be
required by the Company of such pledge. At the appropriate Investor’s expense, the Company will
execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may
reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities including the
preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities
Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling
Stockholders thereunder.



(c) The Company may not require certificates evidencing the Securities to contain any legend
(including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b)): (i) following a sale of such Securities
pursuant to an effective registration statement (including the Registration Statement), or (ii)
following a sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is not an
Affiliate of the Company), or (iii) while such Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k).
The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of
the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, at the election of each Investor, the Company shall remove all legends (including
the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b)) from certificates evidencing the Securities if and when (i)
a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such
Securities is effective, and (ii) the Company receives the Investor’s written confirmation that
such Securities will not be disposed of except in compliance with the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act. If (1) an Investor elects to have the Company remove all
legends from such Investor’s certificates evidencing the Securities in accordance with the
immediately preceding sentence or (2) the Company does not require certificates evidencing the
Securities to contain any legend as contemplated above in this Section 4.1(c) and an Investor
requests that all legends be removed from such Investor’s certificates evidencing such Securities,
in each case, the Company shall deliver to such Investor new certificates evidencing such
Securities which bear no legends within the time period required by applicable securities laws or
market rules and regulations (whichever is shorter).



4.2 Furnishing of Information. As long as any Investor owns the Securities that are
not eligible for resale under Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act, the Company
covenants 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. As long as any Investor owns Securities that are not eligible for resale under Rule
144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act, if the Company is not required to file reports
pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Investors and make publicly
available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Investors to sell
the Shares under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as
any holder of Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to
enable such Person to sell such Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the
limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.



4.3 Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its best efforts to ensure that
no Affiliate of the Company shall, 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 in a manner that would require the registration
under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Investors, or that would be
integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of
any Trading Market.



4.4 Subsequent Registrations. Other than pursuant to the Registration Statement,
prior to the Effective Date, the Company may not file any registration statement (other than on
Form S-8) with the Commission with respect to any securities of the Company. Nothing herein shall,
however, prevent the Company from amending or otherwise maintaining the registration statement on
Form SB-2 that was filed by the Company on May 10, 2004 (other than to add additional selling
stockholders).



4.5 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. By 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on the
Trading Day following the execution of this Agreement, and by 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on the
Trading Day following the Closing Date, the Company shall issue press releases disclosing the
transactions contemplated hereby and the Closing. On the Trading Day following the execution of
this Agreement the Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the material terms of
the Transaction Documents (and attach as exhibits thereto the Transaction Documents), and on the
Closing Date the Company will file an additional Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose the
Closing. In addition, the Company will make such other filings and notices in the manner and time
required by the Commission and the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is listed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Investor, or
include the name of any Investor in any filing with the Commission (other than the Registration
Statement and any exhibits to filings made in respect of this transaction in accordance with
periodic filing requirements under the Exchange Act) or any regulatory agency or Trading Market,
without the prior written consent of such Investor, except to the extent such disclosure is
required by law or Trading Market regulations.



4.6 Limitation on Issuance of Future Priced Securities. During the six months
following the Closing Date, the Company shall not issue any security that would be a “Future Priced
Securities” as such term is described by NASD IM-4350-1.



4.7 Indemnification of Investors. In addition to the indemnity provided in the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company and each Selling Stockholder hereby agree to the
following indemnification of the Investors:



(a) The Company will indemnify and hold the Investors and their respective directors,
officers, shareholders, partners, employees and agents (each, an “Investor Party") harmless from
any and all Losses that any such Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to
any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement
made by the Company in any Transaction Document. In addition to the indemnity contained herein,
the Company will reimburse each Investor Party for its reasonable legal and other expenses
(including the cost of any investigation, preparation and travel in connection therewith) incurred
in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred.



(b) The Selling Stockholders will indemnify and hold each of the Company and each Investor
Party harmless from any and all Losses that the Company or any such Investor Party may suffer or
incur as a result of or relating to any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Selling Stockholders in any Transaction
Document. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will reimburse each of the Company and each
Investor Party for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any
investigation, preparation and travel in connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as
such expenses are incurred.



4.8 Non-Public Information. The Company and each Selling Stockholder covenant and
agree that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Investor or its
agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public
information, unless prior thereto such Investor shall have executed a written agreement regarding
the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company and each Selling Stockholder
understand and confirm that each Investor shall be relying on the foregoing representations in
effecting transactions in securities of the Company.



4.9 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the
Shares hereunder for working capital purposes and not to redeem any debt, Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents or to settle any outstanding Action.

prior written consent of the Investors. Any Investor may assign any or all of its rights under this
Agreement to any Person to whom such Investor assigns or transfers any Securities, provided such
transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the
provisions hereof that apply to the “Investors.”



6.8 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 4.7 (as to each Investor Party).



6.9 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement
and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance
with the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to the principles of conflicts of
law thereof. Each party agrees that all 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, employees or agents) may be
commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of San Diego, California (the
“California Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the
California Courts 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 the any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert
in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such
California Court, or that such Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum.
Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process
being served in any such 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 manner permitted by law. Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial
by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby. If either party shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any provisions of a
Transaction Document, then the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other
party for its attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation,
preparation and prosecution of such Proceeding.



6.10 Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained
herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Shares.



6.11 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, 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 signature were an original thereof.



6.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions
of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt
to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon
so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.



6.13 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever
any Investor exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the
Company or the Selling Stockholders do not timely perform their related obligations within the
periods therein provided, then such Investor may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from
time to time upon written notice to the Company and the Selling Stockholders, any relevant notice,
demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.



6.14 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, 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 and customary and reasonable
indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such
circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such
replacement Securities. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is
requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated
certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.



6.15 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to
any Investor pursuant to any Transaction Document or an Investor 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.



6.16 Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each
Investor under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other
Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of
any other Investor under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Investor to purchase
Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Investor independently of
any other Investor. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken
by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the
Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Document. Each Investor acknowledges that no other
Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder
and that no Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its
investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each
Investor 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 Investor to be joined as an additional party in any
proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the Investors has been provided
with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple
Investors and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor.



6.17 Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each
of the Company and the Selling Stockholders acknowledge and agree that the liability of any
Investor arising directly or indirectly, under any Transaction Document of any and every nature
whatsoever shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of such Investor, and that no trustee,
officer, other investment vehicle or any other Affiliate of such Investor or any investor,
shareholder or holder of shares of beneficial interest of such a Investor shall be personally
liable for any liabilities of such Investor.
