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

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 (ii)
Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, for which appropriate reserves have
been made therefore in accordance with GAAP and, 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) Intellectual Property. 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 required 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 could not have or reasonably be
expected to 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 disclosed in the
Registration Statement or the SEC Reports, none of the officers or directors of the Company
or any Subsidiary and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company
or any Subsidiary 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, providing for the borrowing of money
from or lending of money to 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, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director,
trustee, stockholder, member 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 and the
Subsidiaries 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 and the Subsidiaries have established disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and
the Subsidiaries 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 disclosure controls and procedures of the Company and the
Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by the 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 internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the
Exchange Act) of the Company and its Subsidiaries that have materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting of the
Company and its Subsidiaries.




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




(u) Registration Rights. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement or
the SEC Reports, no Person has any right to cause the Company or any Subsidiary to effect
the registration under the Securities Act of any securities of the Company or any
Subsidiary.




(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. Except as
disclosed in the Registration Statement, Prospectus, Prospectus Supplement or the SEC
Reports, 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 and its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses and the transactions contemplated
hereby 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
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) Indebtedness The Prospectus, Prospectus Supplement and the SEC Reports sets
forth as of the dates specified therein 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 (a) 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) and (b) 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. Neither the Company
nor any Subsidiary is in material 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 its Subsidiaries each (i) has made or filed all United States federal, state and
local 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 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 any Subsidiary, nor to
the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, any agent or other person acting on behalf
of the Company or any Subsidiary, 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 any Subsidiary (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 FCPA.




(cc) Accountants. The Company’s accounting firm is Deloitte & Touche LLP. 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
fiscal year ending February 31, 2011.




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




(hh) 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.




(ii) 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.




(jj) Money Laundering. The operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries 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 or any Subsidiary with respect to the Money Laundering Laws
is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, 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 incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited
liability company or similar 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) Understandings or Arrangements. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities as
principal for its own account and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with
any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities (this
representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant
to the Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state
securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course
of its business.




(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 either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3),
(a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined
in Rule 144A(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
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) from 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). The Purchasers acknowledge
that they have read the Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Registration Statement and
the SEC Reports. The Purchasers have not received any written documents that would constitute
an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities or that would
constitute a prospectus under the Securities Act, other than the Prospectus and the Prospectus
Supplement. 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).



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 the Company is
not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.



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 9:00 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) file a Current
Report on Form 8-K, including the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto, with the Commission
within the time required by the Exchange Act. From and after the issuance of such press release,
the Company represents to the Purchasers that it 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 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 entered into 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 in the Prospectus Supplement, the Company
shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital purposes
and shall not use such proceeds: (a) for 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) for the redemption of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, (c) for the
settlement of any outstanding litigation or (d) in violation of 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 the Purchaser Parties 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 Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by
the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser Party’s
representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or
understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such
Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party 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 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 [RESERVED]



4.12 Subsequent Equity Sales.




(a) From the date hereof until 30 days from the date hereof, the Company shall not
issue any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents.




(b) From the date hereof until such time as no Purchaser holds any of the Warrants, 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 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 Closing has
not been consummated on or before February   , 2011; provided, however, that no
such termination will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by any 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,

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 thereof 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

Company and the Purchasers of at least a majority of the Shares still held by the Purchasers 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 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, partners, members, 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, suit 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, suit 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 each other party, it being
understood that the 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.



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 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 hereto or 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 its 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 Rodman & Renshaw, LLC. 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 Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated
damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the
Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have
been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial
liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.



5.19 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.



5.20 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel
have 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
thereto. 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.



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