PURCHASER SHALL:

with the Commission) of which the Purchaser is a part in connection with the
Offering, acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, 20% or more of the Common
Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock) or the
voting power of the Company on a post-transaction basis.  Exceptions:
_______________________________________________.  (If no exceptions,
write “none.” If left blank, response will be deemed to be

Purchaser represents that it has received (or otherwise had made available to it
by the filing by the Company of an electronic version thereof with the
Commission) the Base Prospectus, dated September 5, 2008, which is a part
of the Company’s Registration Statement, the documents incorporated by reference
therein and any free writing prospectus (collectively, the “Disclosure Package”),
prior to or in connection with the receipt of this Agreement.  The
Purchaser acknowledges that, prior to the delivery of this Agreement to the
Company, the Purchaser will receive certain additional information regarding the

means permitted under the Act, including the Prospectus Supplement, a free
writing prospectus and oral communications.

     

    8.           No
offer by the Purchaser to buy the Shares will be accepted and no part of the
Purchase Price will be delivered to the Company until the Purchaser has received
the Offering Information and the Company has accepted such offer by
countersigning a copy of this Agreement, and any such offer may be withdrawn or
revoked, without obligation or commitment of any kind, at any time prior to the
Company (or Roth Capital on behalf of the Company) sending (orally, in writing
or by electronic mail) notice of its acceptance of such offer.  An
indication of interest will involve no obligation or commitment of any kind
until the Purchaser has been delivered the Offering Information and this
Agreement is accepted and countersigned by or on behalf of the
Company.

    4.1           The
Purchaser (a) is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in making, and is
qualified to make decisions with respect to, investments in shares presenting an
investment decision like that involved in the purchase of the Shares, including
investments in securities issued by the Company and investments in comparable
companies, (b) has answered all questions on the Signature Page and the
Purchaser Questionnaire and the answers thereto are true and correct as of the

connection with its decision to purchase the number of Shares set forth on the
Signature Page, has received and is relying solely upon (i) the Disclosure
Package and the documents incorporated by reference therein and (ii) the

    4.2           (a)
No action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction outside the United
States by the Company or the Placement Agent that would permit an offering of
any of the Shares, or possession or distribution of offering materials in
connection with the issuance of the Shares in any jurisdiction outside the
United States where action for that purpose is required, (b) if the Purchaser is

in all cases at its own expense and (c) the Placement Agent is not authorized to
make and has not made any representation, disclosure or use of any information
in connection with the issuance, placement, purchase and sale of the Shares,
except as set forth or incorporated by reference in the Base Prospectus or the

        I-2

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    

     

    4.3           (a)
The Purchaser has full right, power, authority and capacity to enter into this
Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and has taken
all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement, and (b) this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of the Purchaser enforceable against the Purchaser 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).

     

    4.4           The
Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement, the Prospectus or any
other materials presented to the Purchaser in connection with the purchase and
sale of the Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice.  The
Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its
sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its
purchase of Shares.

     

    4.5           Since
the time at which the Placement Agent first contacted the Purchaser about the
Offering, the Purchaser has not engaged in any purchases or sales of the
securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Short Sales (as
defined herein) involving the Company’s securities), and has not violated its
obligations of confidentiality.  The Purchaser covenants that it will
not engage in any purchases or sales of the securities of the Company (including
Short Sales) or disclose any information about the contemplated Offering (other
than to its advisors that are under a legal obligation of confidentiality) prior
to the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly
disclosed.  The Purchaser agrees that it will not use any of the
Shares 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-US broker dealers or
foreign regulated brokers.

     

    4.6           The
investment in the Shares is being made in the ordinary course of the Purchaser’s
business.  In connection with the investment in the Shares, the
Purchaser is not acting as a market intermediary and the Purchaser has no
current understanding or arrangement for the distribution of the
Shares.

     

    5.           Survival
of Representations, Warranties and Agreements; Third Party
Beneficiary.  Notwithstanding any investigation made by any
party to this Agreement or by the Placement Agent, all covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by the Company and the Purchaser herein will
survive the execution of this Agreement, the delivery to the Purchaser of the
Shares being purchased and the payment therefor.  The Placement Agent
shall be a third party beneficiary with respect to the representations,
warranties and agreements of the Purchaser in Section 4
hereof.

    7.           Changes.  This
Agreement may not be modified or amended except pursuant to an instrument in
writing signed by the Company and the Purchaser.

     

    8.           Headings.  The
headings of the various sections of this Agreement have been inserted for
convenience of reference only and will not be deemed to be part of this
Agreement.

     

    9.           Severability.  In
case any provision contained in this Agreement should be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions contained herein will not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.

     

    10.         Governing
Law.  This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving
effect to the principles of conflicts of law that would require the application
of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

     

    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.  The Company and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the
Company shall deliver its counterpart to the Purchaser along with the Prospectus
Supplement (or the filing by the Company of an electronic version thereof with
the Commission).

of Sale.  The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the
Purchaser’s receipt of the Company’s counterpart to this Agreement, together
with the Prospectus Supplement (or the filing by the Company of an electronic
version thereof with the Commission), shall constitute written confirmation of
the Company’s sale of Shares to the Purchaser.

     

    13.           Press
Release.  The Company and the Purchaser agree that the Company
shall issue a press release announcing the Offering and disclosing all material
terms and conditions of the Offering prior to the opening of the financial
markets in New York City on the business day immediately after the date
hereof.

     

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