under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, 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 nor default 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 the Subsidiaries is duly
qualified to conduct business and is in good



7









 






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 have or reasonably be expected to result in: (i) a material adverse effect on the
legality, validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, (ii) a material adverse
effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or condition (financial or
otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material

and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the

The execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the
consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action is
required by the Company, the Board of Directors or the Company’s stockholders in connection
therewith other than in connection with the Required Approvals. Each Transaction Document
to which it is a party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the
Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute

application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws
relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable

(ii) and (iii), such as could not 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

     (g) Capitalization. The capitalization of the Company is as set forth on

pursuant to the conversion and/or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding as of the

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,

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

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.

requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of the SEC

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

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

stock option plans. The Company does not have pending before the Commission any request for

liability, fact, circumstance, occurrence or development has occurred or exists or is
reasonably expected to occur or exist with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or

(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

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

have a Material Adverse Effect.

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 judgment, decree or order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body or (iii) is or
has been in violation of any statute, rule, ordinance 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 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 and marketable
title in fee simple to all real property owned by them and good and marketable title in all
personal property owned by them that is material to the business of



12









 






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”).
None of, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or
otherwise) that any of, the Intellectual Property Rights has expired, terminated or been
abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2) years from
the date of this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since the
date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC Reports, a written
notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights
violate or infringe upon the rights of any Person, except as would not have a Material
Adverse Effect. 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 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,



13









 






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 compliance
with any and all applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that are
effective as of the date hereof, and any and all applicable rules and regulations
promulgated by the Commission thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof and 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 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



14









 






become an “investment company” subject to registration under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended.




     (u) Registration Rights. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(u), 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 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
of the 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 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



15









 






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 shareholder approval provisions of
any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.




     (z) Solvency. Based on the consolidated 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 fair saleable value of the Company’s 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 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 liabilities 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). 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. Schedule 3.1(z) sets forth as of the date hereof 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” means (x) 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), (y) 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 (z) the 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 (i) has made or filed all United States federal and state income
and all foreign income and franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any
jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has paid all taxes and other governmental



16









 






assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on
such returns, reports and declarations and (iii) has set aside on its books provision
reasonably adequate for the payment of all material taxes for periods subsequent to the
periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in
any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the
officers of the Company or of any Subsidiary know of no basis for any such claim.




     (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 September 30, 2010.




     (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 Securities for any
specified term; (ii) 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)



17









 






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) 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.




     (gg) [RESERVED]




     (hh) Office of Foreign Assets Control. Neither the Company nor, to the
Company’s knowledge, any director, officer, agent, employee or affiliate of the Company is
currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control
of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”).




     (ii) U.S. Real Property Holding Corporation. The Company is not and has never
been a U.S. real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Company shall so certify upon Purchaser’s
request.




     (jj) Bank Holding Company Act. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
or Affiliates is subject to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the
“BHCA”) and to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
(the “Federal Reserve”). Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates owns or controls, directly or indirectly, five percent (5%) or more of the
outstanding shares of any class of voting securities or twenty-five percent or more of the
total equity of a bank or any entity that is subject to the BHCA and to regulation by the
Federal Reserve. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates exercises a
controlling influence over the management or policies of a bank or any entity that is
subject to the BHCA and to regulation by the Federal Reserve.



18









 






     (kk) Money Laundering. The operations of the Company are and have been
conducted at all times in compliance with applicable financial record-keeping and reporting
requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended,
applicable money laundering statutes and applicable rules and regulations thereunder
(collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”), and no action, suit or proceeding by or
before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the
Company with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company, threatened.



     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 (unless as of a specific date therein):




     (a) Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or 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, partnership, limited liability company or similar
action, as applicable, 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) [RESERVED]




     (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 an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(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) Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the
transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on



19









 






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 during
the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first received a term sheet (written
or oral) as of the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the
material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the
execution hereof. 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.


The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in Section 3.2 shall not
modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other
Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection
with this Agreement or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby.




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 sale or resale of
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 (it being understood and agreed that the foregoing shall not limit the ability of
the Company to issue, or any Purchaser to sell, any of the Warrant Shares in compliance with
applicable federal and state securities laws). 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 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



20









 




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, including without limitation, 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, including without limitation, 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 shareholder approval prior to the
closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of
such subsequent transaction.



     4.4 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall (a) by 8:30 a.m. (New
York City time) on the Trading Day immediately following the date hereof, issue a press release
disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) issue a Current
Report on Form 8-K, and including the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto, within the time
required by the Exchange Act. From and after the issuance of such press release, the Company shall
have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to any of the Purchasers by
the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees
or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. 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
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 Shareholder 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



21









 




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 with the
Company 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, (c) the
settlement of any outstanding litigation or (d) in violation of the FCPA or OFAC regulations.



     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, shareholders,
members, partners, employees 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, shareholders, agents, members,
partners or employees (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 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 such
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



22









 




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 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. The indemnification required by this Section
4.8 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation
or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained
herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against
the Company or others, and (y) any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.




     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 Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.



     4.10 Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use best efforts to
maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which it is
currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote all
of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of
the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading Market. 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 Participation in Future Financing.




     (a) From the date hereof until the date that is the 12 month anniversary of the Closing
Date, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents for cash consideration, Indebtedness or a combination of units hereof (a
“Subsequent Financing”), each Purchaser (together with any Purchaser pursuant to an
Exempt Issuance under clause (d) of such defined term), shall have the right to participate
in up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing equal to 100% of the Subsequent Financing
(the “Participation Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for
in the Subsequent Financing, unless the Subsequent Financing is a registered public
offering, in which case the Company shall offer each



23









 






Purchaser the right to participate in such public offering when it is lawful for the
Company to do so, but no Purchaser shall be entitled to purchase any particular amount of
such public offering.




     (b) At least five (5) Trading Days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing,
the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a written notice of its intention to effect a
Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall ask such Purchaser if it
wants to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent
Financing Notice”). Upon the request of a Purchaser, and only upon a request by such
Purchaser, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no later than
one (1) Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to such
Purchaser. The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed
terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder
and the Person or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be
effected and shall include a term sheet or similar document relating thereto as an
attachment.




     (c) Any Purchaser desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide
written notice to the Company by not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth
(5th) Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice that
the Purchaser is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of the
Purchaser’s participation, and representing and warranting that the Purchaser has such funds
ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent
Financing Notice. If the Company receives no such notice from a Purchaser as of such fifth
(5th) Trading Day, such Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Company
that it does not elect to participate.




     (d) If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day
after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, notifications by the Purchasers of
their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause their designees to
participate) is, in the aggregate, less than the total amount of the Subsequent Financing,
then the Company may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms
and with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.




     (e) If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day
after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, the Company receives responses to
a Subsequent Financing Notice from Purchasers seeking to purchase more than the aggregate
amount of the Participation Maximum, each such Purchaser shall have the right to purchase
its Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Participation Maximum. “Pro Rata
Portion” means the ratio of (x) the Subscription Amount of Securities purchased on the
Closing Date by a Purchaser participating under this Section 4.11 and (y) the sum of the
aggregate Subscription Amounts of Securities purchased on the Closing Date by all Purchasers
participating under this Section 4.11.




     (f) The Company must provide the Purchasers with a second Subsequent Financing Notice,
and the Purchasers will again have the right of participation set forth above in this
Section 4.11, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent



24









 






Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such
Subsequent Financing Notice within 30 Trading Days after the date of the initial Subsequent
Financing Notice.




     (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.11 shall not apply in respect of (i)
an Exempt Issuance or (ii) an underwritten public offering of Common Stock.



     4.12 Subsequent Equity Sales.




     (a) From the date hereof until 90 days after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor
any Subsidiary shall issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or
proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents;
provided, however, that the 90 day period set forth in this Section 4.12
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 no Purchaser holds any of the Securities,
the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any
issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents for cash consideration (or a combination of units hereof) involving a Variable
Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the
Company (i) issues or sells 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. 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 4.12 shall not apply in respect of an
Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance.



     4.13 Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of
any Transaction Document) 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



25









 




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.




     4.14 Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. 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 purchases or sales, including Short Sales
of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this
Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first
publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release 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 pursuant to
the initial press release 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 and notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser
makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting
transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in
Section 4.4, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in
any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time
that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the
initial press release as described in Section 4.4 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of
confidentiality to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the issuance of the initial press release
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 Warrants After Closing. The Company shall deliver, or cause to be
delivered, the respective Warrant certificates purchased by each Purchaser to such Purchaser within
3 Trading Days of the Closing Date.



     4.16 Capital Changes. Until the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company
shall not undertake a reverse or forward stock split or reclassification of the Common Stock
without the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding a majority in interest of the Shares.



ARTICLE V.

MISCELLANEOUS




     5.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such
Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations between
the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the



26









 




Closing has not been consummated on or before April 9, 2010; provided,
however, that no such termination will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach
by the other party (or parties).




     5.2 Fees and Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to
the contrary, 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. 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 be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on
the earliest of: (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via
facsimile at the facsimile number set forth on the signature pages attached hereto prior to 5:30
p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number
set forth on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than
5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the second (2nd) Trading Day
following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service or
(d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for
such notices and communications shall be as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto.



     5.5 Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified,
supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the
Company and the Purchasers holding at least 67% in interest of the Shares based on the initial
Subscription Amounts hereunder 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



27









 




that 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, shareholders, 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, in addition to the obligations of the Company under Section 4.8, 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.



     5.10 Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the
Closing and the delivery of the Securities.



     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.



28









 





     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 applicable Purchaser shall be required to
return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with
the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares
and the restoration of such Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s
Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).



     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 agree 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



29









 




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
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, each Purchaser and its
respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through WS. WS does not represent
any of the Purchasers and only represents EarlyBirdCapital, Inc., the placement agent. 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 any of the
Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement
and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not
between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.



     5.18 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.



     5.19 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. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any
Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock
dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after
the date of this Agreement.



     5.20 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 



30









 




ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
