Company satisfies all continued listing criteria of the Principal Listing Exchange.  No present set of facts or circumstances will (with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both or neither) cause any of the Common Stock to be delisted from the Principal Listing Exchange.  All of the Common Shares will, when issued, be duly listed and admitted for trading on all of the Markets where shares of Common Stock are traded, including the Principal Listing Exchange.


 


(i) Proceedings.

The obligations to file the Registration Statement and maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement as provided in this Section 5 are referred to herein as the "Registration Requirement."


 




  





18











  






(b) Maintenance of Registration.  Company will: (A) keep the Registration Statement effective until the earlier of (x) the later of (i) the second (2nd) anniversary of the issuance of the last Covered Security that may be issued, or (ii) such time as all of the Covered Securities issued or issuable hereunder can be sold by Fletcher or any of its affiliates immediately without compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act ("Rule 144") and (y) the date all of the Covered Securities issued or issuable shall have been sold by Fletcher and its affiliates (such later period, the "Registration Period"); (B) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement (as so amended and supplemented from time to time, the "Prospectus") as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Covered Securities by Fletcher or any of its affiliates; (C) furnish such number of Prospectuses and other documents incident thereto, including any amendment of or supplement to the Prospectus, as Fletcher from time to time may reasonably request; (D) cause all Covered Securities to be listed on each securities exchange and quoted on each quotation service on which similar securities issued by Company are then listed and/or quoted; (E) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Covered Securities and a CUSIP number for all Covered Securities; (F) otherwise comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, the Principal Listing Exchange and any other Market on which the Covered Securities are obligated to be listed and/or quoted under this Agreement; and (G) file the documents required of Company and otherwise obtain and maintain requisite blue sky clearance in (x) all jurisdictions in which any of the shares of Common Stock were originally sold and (y) all other states specified in writing by Fletcher, provided, however, that as to this clause (y), Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or consent to service of process in any state in which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented.  Fletcher shall have the right to approve the description of the selling shareholder, plan of distribution and all other references to Fletcher and its affiliates contained in the Registration Statement and each Prospectus.


 


(c) Prospectus Delivery.

19











  






(e) Blackout Periods.  Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 5, if, at any time during which a Prospectus is required to be delivered in connection with the sale of any Covered Security, Company determines in good faith and upon the advice of its outside counsel that a development occurred or a condition existed prior to effectiveness of the Registration Statement as a result of which the Registration Statement or the Prospectus contains a material misstatement or omission, or that a material transaction in which Company is engaged or proposes to engage would require an immediate amendment to the Registration Statement, a supplement to the Prospectus, or a filing under the Exchange Act or other public disclosure of material information and the disclosure of such transaction would be premature or injurious to the consummation of the transaction, Company will immediately notify Fletcher thereof by telephone and in writing.  Upon receipt of such notification, Fletcher and its affiliates will immediately suspend all offers and sales of any Covered Security pursuant to the Registration Statement.  In such event, Company  will amend or supplement the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or make such filings or public disclosures as promptly as practicable and will take such other steps as may be required to permit sales of the Covered Securities thereunder by Fletcher and its affiliates in accordance with applicable federal and state securities laws.  Company  will promptly notify Fletcher after it has determined in good faith that such sales have become permissible in such manner and will promptly deliver copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented, if applicable) to Fletcher in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 5.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) under no circumstances shall Company be entitled to exercise its right to suspend sales of any Covered Securities as provided in this Section 5(e) and pursuant to the Registration Statement more than twice in any twelve (12) month period, (B) the period during which such sales may be suspended (each a "Blackout Period") at any time shall not exceed thirty (30) calendar days, and (C) no Blackout Period may commence less than thirty (30) calendar days after the end of the preceding Blackout Period.


 


(f) Blackout Remedies.  Upon the commencement of a Blackout Period pursuant to this Section 5, Fletcher will notify Company of any contract to sell, assign, deliver or otherwise transfer any Covered Security (each a "Sales Contract") that Fletcher or any of its affiliates has entered into prior to the commencement of such Blackout Period and that would require delivery of such Covered Securities during such Blackout Period, which notice will contain the aggregate sale price and quantity of Covered Securities pursuant to such Sales Contract.  If Fletcher or any of its affiliates are therefore unable to consummate the sale of Covered Securities pursuant to the Sales Contract, Company will promptly indemnify each Fletcher Indemnified Party (as such term is defined in Section 18(a) below) against any Proceeding (as such term is defined in Section 18(a) below) that each Fletcher Indemnified Party may incur arising out of or in connection with Fletcher's breach or alleged breach of any such Sales Contract, and Company shall reimburse each Fletcher Indemnified Party for any reasonable costs or expenses (including legal fees) incurred by such party in investigating or defending any such Proceeding.

(g) Registration or Listing Failure.  In addition to any other remedies available to Fletcher under this Agreement, the Warrant or at law or equity, if the Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the SEC by the Required Registration Date, the Registration Statement is otherwise not available with respect to all Covered Securities at any time on or after the Required Registration Date (except during a Blackout Period permitted under Section 5(e)) or the Covered Securities are not listed or quoted and qualified for trading on a Market (each calendar day in which such Registration Statement is unavailable or such securities are not listed or quoted and qualified for trading on a Market, a "Public Market Unavailability Day"), then Company shall pay to Fletcher an amount for each period of thirty (30) Public Market Unavailability Days (or portion thereof) determined as follows:

1.50% of the Share Value


	
31st Public Market Unavailability Day

	 	
1.75% of the Share Value


	
61st Public Market Unavailability Day

	 	
2.00% of the Share Value


	
91st Public Market Unavailability Day

	 	
2.25% of the Share Value

The payment for Public Market Unavailability Days for each period of thirty (30) Public Market Unavailability Days (or portion thereof) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds no later than five (5) days after and excluding the last day of such period.  Separate payment shall be due for each period of thirty (30) Public Market Unavailability Days (or portion thereof) and no credit shall be given for any payment made in any prior period.  Interest shall be due and payable on any amount that is due to Fletcher pursuant to this Section 5(g) and has not been paid when due, calculated for the period from and including the due date to but excluding the date on which such amount is paid at the greater of (i) twelve percent (12%) or (ii) the prime rate of U.S. money center banks as published in The Wall Street Journal (or if The Wall Street Journal does not exist or publish such information, then the average of the prime rates of three (3) U.S. money center banks agreed to by the parties) plus nine percent (9%) or such lesser amount as is permitted under applicable usury or other law.  Any such interest shall be paid in cash no later than the date that the payment due under this Section 5(g) is made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Fletcher in writing.  "Share Value" for any period of thirty (30) Public Market Unavailability Days (or portion thereof) means the following amount calculated as of the first Public Market Unavailability Day in such period: the aggregate Daily Market Price of all Common Shares previously issued and all Common Shares that could be issued to Fletcher under the Agreement and the Warrant on such Public Market Unavailability Day assuming the exercise in full of all remaining Fletcher Rights and the Warrant and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 7 of the Agreement or any other limitations on exercise.

6. Subsequent Warrant.


 


(a) If, for two (2) consecutive calendar quarters commencing on or after the third (3rd) anniversary of the Initial Closing Date, the average of the Daily Market Prices of the Common Stock for all Business Days in such calendar quarter exceeds $3.00 per share (the "Subsequent Warrant Condition"), then Company shall deliver to Fletcher and each Holder (as defined in the Warrant) a written notice substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex G (a "Subsequent Warrant Notice") certifying that the Subsequent Warrant Condition has been satisfied.

(b) Each Holder may submit one or more Warrant Exercise Notices (as defined in the Warrant) under the Initial Warrant at any time on or before the issuance and delivery of the Subsequent Warrant.  The Initial Warrant shall expire and be of no further force and effect upon the issuance and delivery of the Subsequent Warrant, except that the Initial Warrant shall remain in effect to the extent necessary to consummate any exercises thereof for which Warrant Exercise Notices have been given.  On the tenth (10th) Business Day following Fletcher's receipt of a Subsequent Warrant Notice duly and timely given, Company shall issue and deliver to Fletcher a new warrant (the "Subsequent Warrant"), duly executed by Company in definitive form, in form and substance identical to the Initial Warrant except that (x) the initial Warrant Amount of the Subsequent Warrant shall be ten million dollars ($10,000,000), (y) the Warrant Price of the Subsequent Warrant shall be an amount equal to the product of (1) the Warrant Price (as defined in the Initial Warrant) as of the date of issuance of the Subsequent Warrant multiplied by (2) the quotient equal to $3.00 divided by $0.9030, and (z) the Warrant Term of the Subsequent Warrant shall commence on the date of issuance of the Subsequent Warrant and expire on the second (2nd) anniversary of the date of issuance of the Subsequent Warrant, extended by that number of days, if any, by which the Warrant Term of the Initial Warrant has been extended pursuant to this Agreement and the Initial Warrant (and subject to further extension after the date of issuance as provided in this Agreement and the Subsequent Warrant), and Company shall register the Subsequent Warrant in the warrant register of Company in the name of Fletcher or as otherwise instructed by Fletcher in writing.


 


7. Beneficial Ownership Limitation.


 


(a) Maximum Number.  Company shall not issue any Common Shares pursuant to this Agreement or upon any exercise of the Warrant, and Fletcher shall not have the right to receive any such Common Shares, to the extent the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned (calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) by Fletcher immediately following such issuance would exceed the Maximum Number. The "Maximum Number" shall initially equal ten million four hundred three thousand four hundred sixty-four (10,403,464) Common Shares, and thereafter shall be automatically adjusted as follows:


 


(i) Unless expressly waived in writing by Fletcher, Company shall deliver to Fletcher on or before the tenth (10th) day of each calendar month commencing with the month of April 2010 a notice (an "Outstanding Share Notice") stating the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the last day of the preceding month and the increase (an "Increase") or decrease (a "Decrease"), if any, in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock from the number of shares reported on the preceding Outstanding Share Notice (or, in the case of the first Outstanding Share Notice, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported in Section 4(l)).


 




  





22











  






(ii) If an Outstanding Share Notice reflects a Decrease, then upon delivery of such Outstanding Share Notice, unless otherwise provided in a then-effective 65 Day Notice (as defined below), the Maximum Number shall be deemed decreased such that the Maximum Number equals nine and nine tenths percent (9.90%) of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock reported on such Outstanding Share Notice.  If an Outstanding share Notice reflects an Increase, then on the sixty-fifth (65th) day after delivery of such Outstanding Share Notice,  unless otherwise provided in a then-effective 65 Day Notice (as defined below), the Maximum Number shall be deemed increased such that the Maximum Number equals nine and nine tenths percent (9.90%) of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock reported on such Outstanding Share Notice.


 


(iii) The Maximum Number shall also be increased on the sixty-fifth (65th) day after Fletcher delivers a written notice (a "65 Day Notice") to Company designating a greater Maximum Number.  A 65-Day Notice may be given by Fletcher at any time and from time to time on one more occurrences.


 


(b) Deferred Issuance.  Any shares of Common Stock or other consideration (in the form of cash, securities or other assets per share of Common Stock issuable to a holder of shares of Common Stock in connection with a Change of Control) that would have been issued to Fletcher pursuant to this Agreement or upon exercise of the Warrant but for the limitations contained in this Section 7 shall be deferred and shall be delivered to Fletcher promptly and in any event no later than three (3) Business Days after the date such limitations cease to restrict the issuance of such shares (whether due to an increase in the Maximum Number so as to permit such issuance, the disposition by Fletcher of shares of Common Stock or any other reason) unless Fletcher has withdrawn the applicable Fletcher Notice or Warrant Exercise Notice (as defined in the Warrant).

21. Miscellaneous.


 


(a) Counterparts.  The parties may execute and deliver this Agreement as a single document or in any number of counterparts, manually, by facsimile or by other electronic means, including contemporaneous photocopy or electronic reproduction by each party's respective attorneys.  Each counterpart shall be an original, but a single document or all counterparts together shall constitute one instrument that shall be the agreement.


 


(b) Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns and, with respect to Section 19 hereof, will inure to the benefit of their respective officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents, attorneys, accountants and affiliates and each Person that controls (within the meaning of Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any of the foregoing Persons, and no other Person will have any right or obligation hereunder.  Company may not assign this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Fletcher may assign, pledge, hypothecate or transfer any of the rights and associated obligations contemplated by this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the Investment Securities) and the Warrant, in whole or in part, at its sole discretion (including, but not limited to, assignments, pledges, hypothecations and transfers in connection with financing, derivative or hedging transactions with respect to this Agreement and the Investment Securities), provided, that, any such assignment, pledge, hypothecation or transfer must comply with applicable federal and state securities laws.  No Person acquiring Common Stock from Fletcher pursuant to a public market purchase will thereby obtain any of the rights contained in this Agreement.  This Agreement and the Warrant constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.  Except as provided in this Section 20(b), this Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.  Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Fletcher or any of its affiliates from engaging in any transaction in any stock index, portfolio or derivative of which Common Stock is a component.


 


(c) Governing Law; Jurisdiction.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, and each of the parties hereto hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court in the Southern District of New York and any court hearing any appeal therefrom, over any suit, action or proceeding against it arising out of or based upon this Agreement (a "Related Proceeding").  Each of the parties hereto also agrees not to bring any Related Proceeding in any other court.  Each of the parties hereto hereby waives any objection to any Related Proceeding in such courts whether on the grounds of venue, residence or domicile or on the ground that the Related Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.


 


(d) Construction.  Each party represents and acknowledges that, in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the other instruments and documents required or contemplated hereby, it has been represented by and relied upon the advice of counsel of its choice.  Each party hereby affirms that its counsel has had a substantial role in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement and such other instruments and documents.  Therefore, each party agrees that no rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafter shall be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement and such other instruments and documents.  The parties intend that each representation, warranty, covenant and investment right contained herein shall have independent significance. If any party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) that the party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

(e) Specific Enforcement.  Fletcher and Company stipulate that the remedies at law of the parties hereto in the event of any default or threatened default by either party in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Agreement and the Warrant are not and will not be adequate and that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise.  In particular, the parties acknowledge that the business of Company is unique and recognize and affirm that in the event Company breaches this Agreement, money damages would be inadequate and Fletcher would have no adequate remedy at law, so that Fletcher shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, to enforce its rights and Company's obligations hereunder not only by action for damages but also by action for specific performance, injunctive, and/or other equitable relief.


 


(f) Remedies Cumulative.  Any and all remedies set forth in this Agreement and the Warrant:  (i) shall be in addition to any and all other remedies Fletcher or Company may have at law or in equity, (ii) shall be cumulative, and (iii) may be pursued successively or concurrently as each of Fletcher and Company may elect.  The exercise of any remedy by Fletcher or Company shall not be deemed an election of remedies or preclude Fletcher or Company, respectively, from exercising any other remedies in the future.


 


(g) Obligations.  Company agrees that the parties have negotiated in good faith and at arms' length concerning the transactions contemplated herein, and that Fletcher would not have agreed to the terms of this Agreement without each and every of the terms, conditions, protections and remedies provided herein and in the Warrant.  Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement, Company's obligations to indemnify and hold Fletcher harmless in accordance with Section 18 of this Agreement are obligations of Company that Company promises to pay to Fletcher when and if they become due.  Company shall record any such obligations on its books and records in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.


 


(h) Amendments.  This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented in any and all respects, but only by a written instrument signed by Fletcher and Company expressly stating that such instrument is intended to amend, modify or supplement this Agreement.

(i) Further Assurances.  Each of the parties will cooperate with the other and use its best efforts to prepare all necessary documentation, to effect all necessary filings, and to obtain all necessary permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all governmental bodies and other third-parties necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


 


(j) Interpretation.  For purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires: (i) the terms defined in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement and include the plural as well as the singular, and the use of any gender herein shall be deemed to include the other gender and neuter gender of such term; (ii) accounting terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; (iii) references herein to "Articles", "Sections", "Subsections", "Paragraphs" and other subdivisions without reference to a document are to designated Articles, Sections, Subsections, Paragraphs and other subdivisions of this Agreement, unless the context shall otherwise require; (iv) a reference to a Subsection without further reference to a Section is a reference to such Subsection as contained in the same Section in which the reference appears, and this rule shall also apply to Paragraphs and other subdivisions; (v) the words "herein", "hereof", "hereunder" and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision; (vi) the term "include" or "including" shall mean without limitation; (vii) the table of contents to this Agreement and all section titles or captions contained in this Agreement or in any Schedule or Exhibit annexed hereto or referred to herein are for convenience only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement; (viii) any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statues and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein; and (ix) references to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns and, in the case of an individual, to his or her heirs and estate, as applicable.


 


(k) Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.  If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid, void or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid, void or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.


 




  





39











  






(l) Time of Essence.  Time shall be of the essence in this Agreement.


 


(m) Currency.  All dollar ($) amounts set forth herein and in the Warrant refer to United States dollars.  All payments hereunder and thereunder will be made in lawful currency of the United States of America.


 


(n) Stock Events.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all measurements and references related to share prices and share numbers herein will be, in each instance, appropriately adjusted for stock splits, recombinations, stock dividends and the like.
