this Agreement, and (b) this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Investor
enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting
creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to
general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law) and except as to the enforceability of any rights to
indemnification or contribution that may be violative of the public policy underlying any law, rule
or regulation (including any federal or state securities law, rule or regulation). The Investor’s

confidentiality of all material non-public information acquired as a result of the transactions
contemplated herein and (ii) not engage in any purchases or sales of the securities of the Company
(including Short Sales), in each case prior to the time that such material non-public information
is publicly disclosed. The Investor agrees that it will not use any of the Units acquired pursuant
to this Agreement to cover any short position in the Common Stock if doing so would be in violation
of applicable securities laws. For purposes hereof, “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all
“short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act,
whether or not against the box, and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sales
contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales, swaps, “put equivalent positions” (as defined in Rule
16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and
sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers.

Signature Page is being requested in connection with the USA Patriot Act, Pub.L.107-56 (the

represents that the identifying information set forth on the Signature Page, including without
limitation, its Taxpayer Identification Number assigned by the Internal Revenue Service or any

made by any party to this Agreement or by the Placement Agents, all covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by the Company and the Investor herein and, with respect to the
Company, in the Placement Agency Agreement, will survive the execution of this Agreement, the
delivery to the Investor of the Units being purchased and the payment therefor.

the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law
thereof. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts sitting in the City of Wilmington, Delaware, 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 this Agreement), 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 any party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of
this Agreement, 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.



     11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which
will constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, will constitute but one
instrument, and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each party
hereto and delivered to the other parties. Delivery of an executed counterpart by facsimile or
portable document format (.pdf) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart
thereof.

     12. Confirmation of Sale. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that such Investor’s receipt
of the Company’s signed counterpart to this Agreement, together with the Final Prospectus (or the
filing by the Company of an electronic version thereof with the Commission), shall constitute
written confirmation of the Company’s sale of Units to such Investor.



     13. Press Release. The Company and the Investor agree that, prior to the opening of trading
on Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board on the business day immediately after the date hereof, the
Company may (i) issue a press release announcing the Offering and disclosing all material
information regarding the Offering, (ii) file an amendment to the Registration Statement with the
Commission and (iii) file a prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) with the Commission disclosing all
material information regarding the Offering and including the Placement Agency Agreement and a form
of this Agreement as exhibits thereto. From and after the issuance of such press release and the
filing of such amendment and prospects, the Company shall have publicly disclosed all material,
non-public information delivered to any of the Investors by the Company or any person acting on its
behalf, including, without limitation, the Placement Agents, in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, the Placement Agency Agreement and any other documents or
agreements contemplated hereby or thereby. The Company shall not identify the name of any Investor
or any affiliate of any investment adviser of such Investor in any press release or public filing,
or otherwise publicly disclose the name of any Investor or any affiliate of investment adviser of
such Investor, without such Investor’s prior written consent, unless required by law or the rules
and regulations of a national securities exchange, provided, however, that, if permitted by
applicable law, regulation, legal or judicial process, promptly after becoming aware of any request
or requirement to so disclose (a “Disclosure Requirement”), and in any event prior to any such
disclosure, the Company will provide such Investor with notice of such request or requirement so
that such Investor may at its election seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and the
Company will fully cooperate with such Investor’s efforts to obtain the same; provided, further,
however, if, absent the entry of such a protective order or other remedy, the Company is compelled
by applicable law, rule or regulation or a court order, subpoena, similar judicial process,
regulatory agency or stock exchange rule to disclose such Investor’s name, the Company may disclose
only that portion of such information that the Company is so compelled to disclose and will use its
reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to that portion
of such information that is being disclosed. As of the date hereof, the Company is not aware of
any Disclosure Requirement.



     14. Termination. In the event that the Placement Agency Agreement is terminated by the
Placement Agents pursuant to the terms thereof, this Agreement shall terminate without any further
action on the part of the parties hereto.



     15. Fees and Expenses. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel,
accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to
the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.
