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 effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company
or any Subsidiary under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act.

     (k) Labor Relations. No material labor dispute exists or, to the knowledge of
the Company, is imminent with respect to any of the employees of the Company which could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company’s or its
Subsidiaries’ employees is a member of a union that relates to such employee’s relationship
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.
To their knowledge, 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

 

 

Note: Certain portions of this document have been marked “[C.I.]” to indicate that confidential treatment has been requested for this confidential information. The confidential portions have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission

where the failure
to be in compliance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (l) Compliance. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary (i) is in default 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 order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body, or (iii) to their knowledge is or
has been in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority,
including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws applicable to its
business and all such laws that affect the environment, except in each case as could not
have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     (m) Regulatory Permits. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(m), 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. Neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries own any real
property. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in all personal
property owned by them that is material to the business of 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, to
their knowledge, the Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance.

     (o) Patents and Trademarks. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(o),
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

 

 

Note: Certain portions of this document have been marked “[C.I.]” to indicate that confidential treatment has been requested for this confidential information. The confidential portions have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission

(collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”). Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of the Intellectual
Property Rights used by the Company or any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights
of any Person. 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, 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 material
compliance with all of the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which are applicable
to it as of the Closing Date except as would reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. 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

 

 

Note: Certain portions of this document have been marked “[C.I.]” to indicate that confidential treatment has been requested for this confidential information. The confidential portions have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission

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 on Schedule 3.1(s), 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) Private Placement. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers representations
and warranties set forth in Section 3.2, no registration under the Securities Act is
required for the offer and sale of the Securities by the Company to the Purchasers as
contemplated hereby. The issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder does not contravene
the rules and regulations of the Trading Market.

     (u) 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
subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

     (v) Registration Rights. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, other than
each of the Purchasers, no Person has any right to cause the Company to effect the
registration under the Securities Act of any securities of the Company.

     (w) 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

 

 

Note: Certain portions of this document have been marked “[C.I.]” to indicate that confidential treatment has been requested for this confidential information. The confidential portions have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission

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.

     (x) 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 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.

     (y) 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. The Company understands and confirms that the
Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities
of the Company. All 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
representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby
other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.

     (z) 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

 

 

Note: Certain portions of this document have been marked “[C.I.]” to indicate that confidential treatment has been requested for this confidential information. The confidential portions have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission

circumstances that would cause this offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior
offerings by the Company for purposes of (i) the Securities Act which would require the
registration of any such securities under the Securities Act, or (ii) any applicable
shareholder approval provisions of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the
Company are listed or designated. 

     (aa) 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. The SEC Reports set forth as of the date thereof 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), (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; and (c)
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.

     (bb) 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 has filed all necessary federal, state and foreign income and
franchise tax returns and has paid or accrued all taxes shown as due thereon, and the
Company has no knowledge of a tax deficiency which has been asserted or threatened against
the Company or any Subsidiary.

 

 

 Note: Certain portions of this document have been marked “[C.I.]” to indicate that confidential treatment has been requested for this confidential information. The confidential portions have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission

     (cc) No General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any person acting on
behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of the Securities by any form of general
solicitation or general advertising. The Company has offered the Securities for sale only
to the Purchasers and certain other “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501
under the Securities Act.

     (dd) 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.

     (ee) Accountants. The Company’s accounting firm is set forth on Schedule
3.1(ee) of the Disclosure Schedule. To the knowledge of the Company, such accounting
firm who the Company expects will express its opinion with respect to the financial
statements to be included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ending December 31,
2007, is a registered public accounting firm as required by the Exchange Act.

     (ee) No Disagreements with Accountants and Lawyers. To the Company’s knowledge,
there are no disagreements of any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated by the
Company to arise, between the Company and the accountants and lawyers formerly or presently
employed by the Company which could affect the Company’s ability to perform any of its
obligations under any of the Transaction Documents, and the Company is current with respect
to any fees owed to its accountants and lawyers.

     (ff) 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.

 

 

Note: Certain portions of this document have been marked “[C.I.]” to indicate that confidential treatment has been requested for this confidential information. The confidential portions have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission

     (gg) Acknowledgement Regarding Purchaser’s Trading Activity. Anything in this
Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding (except for Sections 3.2(f)
and 4.12 hereof), it is understood and acknowledged by the Company (i) that 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) that 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) that 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)
that 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 (a) 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 (b) 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.

     (hh) 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.

     (ii) FDA. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.1(ii) or the SEC Reports,
as to each product subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(“FDA”) under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, as amended, and the
regulations thereunder (“FDCA”) that is manufactured, packaged, labeled, tested,
distributed, sold, and/or marketed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each such
product, a “Pharmaceutical Product”), such Pharmaceutical Product is being
manufactured, packaged, labeled, tested, distributed, sold and/or marketed by the Company in
material compliance with all applicable requirements under FDCA and similar laws, rules and
regulations relating to registration, investigational use, premarket clearance, licensure,
or application approval, good manufacturing practices, good laboratory practices, good
clinical practices, product listing, quotas, labeling, advertising,

 

 

Note: Certain portions of this document have been marked “[C.I.]” to indicate that confidential treatment has been requested for this confidential information. The confidential portions have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission

record keeping and
filing of reports, except where the failure to be in compliance would not have a Material
Adverse Effect. There is no pending, completed or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened,
action (including any lawsuit, arbitration, or legal or administrative or regulatory
proceeding, charge, complaint, or investigation) against the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, and none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice,
warning letter or other communication from the FDA or any other governmental entity to which
responses are due, which (i) contests the premarket clearance, licensure, registration, or
approval of, the uses of, the distribution of, the manufacturing or packaging of, the
testing of, the sale of, or the labeling and promotion of any Pharmaceutical Product, (ii)
withdraws its approval of, requests the recall, suspension, or seizure of, or withdraws or

regulations by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and which, either individually or in
the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect. The properties, business and
operations of the Company have been and are being conducted in all material respects in
accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of the FDA. The Company has not
been informed by the FDA that the FDA will prohibit the marketing, sale, license or use in
the United States of any product proposed to be developed, produced or marketed by the
Company nor has the FDA expressed any concern as to approving or clearing for marketing any
product being developed or proposed to be developed by the Company.

     (jj) Form S-3 Eligibility. The Company is eligible to register the resale of
the Securities for resale by the Purchaser on Form S-3 promulgated under the Securities Act
as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement.

     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

out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction
Documents and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or similar action
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

 

 

Note: Certain portions of this document have been marked “[C.I.]” to indicate that confidential treatment has been requested for this confidential information. The confidential portions have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission

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) Own Account. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are
“restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any
applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own
account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part
thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no
present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act
or any applicable state securities law 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) in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable
state securities law. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary
course of its business.

(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

the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

     (e) General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a
result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities

indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the
Company during the period commencing from 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 until the date
hereof (“Discussion Time”). 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).

control) and that each such Purchaser has conducted its own due diligence and reviewed (or
had the opportunity to review) the Transaction Documents with its own independent counsel.
Each Purchaser has independently determined the merits and risks associated with an
investment on the basis set forth in the Transaction Documents and without any agreements,
understandings or arrangements other than those expressly set forth in the Transaction
Documents.

     (i) Residency. Such Purchaser is a resident of that jurisdiction specified
below its address on the Schedule of Purchasers.

Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in
Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an
opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the
form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the

to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of a Purchaser under
this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

     (b) The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1,
of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:

THESE SECURITIES HAVE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION
FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE
EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF
THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS
EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE
SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THESE SECURITIES
MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED
BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED
INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED
BY SUCH SECURITIES.

     The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge
pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security
interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited
investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by
the provisions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and, if required
under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured
Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or
transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal
counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith.
Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s
expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or
secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer
of the Securities, including, if the Securities are subject to registration pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus
supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of
the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders thereunder.

 

 

 Note: Certain portions of this document have been marked “[C.I.]” to indicate that confidential treatment has been requested for this confidential information. The confidential portions have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission

     (c) Certificates evidencing the Shares and Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend
(including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b)), (i) while a registration statement
(including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective
under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of such Shares or Warrant Shares
pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Shares or Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under
Rule 144(k), or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the
Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of
the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the
Transfer Agent promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Transfer Agent to effect
the removal of the legend hereunder. If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a
time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Warrant
Shares, such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that
following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this
Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by a
Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Shares or
Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading
Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser
a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends.
The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer
Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section. Certificates for
Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to
the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository
Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser.

     (d) In addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to
a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of
Shares or Warrant Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities
are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and
subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5)
Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the second
(2nd) Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is
delivered without a legend. Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue
actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver
certificates representing any Securities as required by the Transaction Documents, and
such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in
equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive
relief.

     (e) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees that
the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth
in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that such Purchaser will sell
any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and
that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will

 

 

 Note: Certain portions of this document have been marked “[C.I.]” to indicate that confidential treatment has been requested for this confidential information. The confidential portions have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission

be sold in
compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the
removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in
this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.

     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 use good faith commercially
reasonable efforts 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. 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 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 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 in a manner that would require the
registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers or that would
be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities to the Purchasers 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) issue a press
release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby by 8:30 a.m. (New
York City Time) on the Trading Day immediately following the date hereof, and (b) by the fourth
(4th) Trading Day following the date hereof, in accordance with the Exchange Act, issue
a Current Report on Form 8-K, disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated
hereby, and filing the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto. 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
or 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 (i) as required by
federal securities law in connection with (A) any

 

 

Note: Certain portions of this document have been marked “[C.I.]” to indicate that confidential treatment has been requested for this confidential information. The confidential portions have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission

registration statement contemplated by the
Registration Rights Agreement and (B) the filing of final Transaction Documents (including
signature pages thereto) with the Commission and (ii) 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 (ii).

     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 and the material information
disclosed on the Disclosure Schedules, 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 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, or (c) the
settlement of any outstanding litigation.

     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 and against, without duplication, 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 material 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

 

 

Note: Certain portions of this document have been marked “[C.I.]” to indicate that confidential treatment has been requested for this confidential information. The confidential portions have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission

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
the 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 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 such separate 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 (i)
for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (ii) 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.

     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. (a) The Company hereby agrees to use good faith
commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on a Trading Market,
and as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing (but not later than the earlier of the
Effective Date and the first anniversary of the Closing Date) to list 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 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 on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The
Company will take good faith commercially reasonable efforts 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 Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration 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.

     4.12 Short Sales and Confidentiality After The Date Hereof. 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 Short Sales during the period
commencing at the Discussion Time and ending at the time that the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are first publicly announced 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 as described in Section 4.4,
such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with
this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction and the information
included in the Disclosure Schedules. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with any other
Purchaser, understands and acknowledges, and agrees, to act in a manner that will not violate the
positions of the Commission as set forth in Item 65, Section A, of the Manual of Publicly Available
Telephone Interpretations, dated July 1997, compiled by the Office of Chief Counsel, Division of
Corporation Finance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Purchaser makes any representation,
warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in Short Sales in the securities of the Company
after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced 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.

     4.13  Delivery of Securities After Closing. The Company shall deliver, or cause to be
delivered, the respective Securities purchased by each Purchaser to such Purchaser within 3 Trading
Days of the Closing Date.

     4.14 Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with
respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly
upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably
determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale
to the Purchasers at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of
the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any
Purchaser.

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

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 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 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

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

 

 

 Note: Certain portions of this document have been marked “[C.I.]” to indicate that confidential treatment has been requested for this confidential information. The confidential portions have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission

     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.

     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 good faith 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 Purchaser shall
be required to return any shares of Common Stock delivered in connection with any such rescinded
exercise notice.

     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 agrees to waive and

 

 

Note: Certain portions of this document have been marked “[C.I.]” to indicate that confidential treatment has been requested for this confidential information. The confidential portions have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission

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 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,
Purchasers and their respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through FWS.
FWS does not represent all of the Purchasers but only Rodman & Renshaw, LLC, the placement agent
for the transactions contemplated hereby. 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 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,

 

 

Note: Certain portions of this document have been marked “[C.I.]” to indicate that confidential treatment has been requested for this confidential information. The confidential portions have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission

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
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.

(“DSHEA”) regulations with its current labeling because it makes a health claim related to
acne. A change in regulatory status to DHSEA compliant labeling may affect the revenue stream
associated with this product.

(iv) FDA Correspondence on Acne:  The Company has received comments on its acne development
program from the FDA statistical reviewer assigned to the Company’s IND.  In this letter, the
reviewer stated con[c]ern about whether the Company will have sufficient data select an appropriate
dosing regimen for Phase 3 trials.   The Company believes that it has the data to make an argument
that sufficient drug dose ranging has been done; however, if the FDA does not accept the Company’s
rationale, additional unplanned clinical trials and/or formulation development work may be required
for the acne development program which may extend the expected development time lines for such
program.

subsidiary of the Company.

          (c) The

          (a) The Executive shall have such executive level duties and responsibilities as shall be
designated by the President from time to time in writing. All contacts between the Executive and
any current, past or potential customer, supplier, competitor, employee, shareholder, investment or
market analyst, banker or other advisor of the Company relating to the business of the Company
shall include the President of the Company or shall be conducted as directed by the President of
the Company.

          (b) It is anticipated that the Executive will provide part-time services to the Company, which
is expected to involve the Executive providing services for more than 20% of the average amount of
time he worked in each of the last three calendar years or approximately 40-50 days of services per
year (the “Minimum Requirement”). The Company will not have deemed the Executive to have had a

          (d) The Executive shall not be precluded from accepting employment, whether as an employee or
independent contractor, from third parties during the term of this Agreement, so long as such
employment does not violate any of the Restrictive Covenants (as defined below) or interfere with
the Executive’s performance of his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement.

3

 

     4. Base Salary. The Executive’s base salary shall be equal to $338,000 per annum
(“Annual Base Salary”), payable through June 30, 2009, in installments consistent with the
Company’s regular payroll practices.

     5. FY 2008 Bonus.

          (a) The Executive shall be entitled to be paid 100% of any bonus that the Executive would have
earned for Fiscal Year 2008 (the “FY 2008 Bonus”) under the Company’s Fiscal Year 2008 Profit
Sharing Plan (“FY 2008 Plan”) had the Executive been employed by the Company at June 30, 2008 as
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, using the same methodology as was used to
distribute the bonus pool arising under the Fiscal Year 2006 Profit Sharing Plan to allocate to the
Executive his share of the bonus pool, if any, arising under the FY 2008 Plan. In the event the
Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated prior to the end of Fiscal Year 2008, then
the Executive shall be entitled to a pro-rata percentage of the FY 2008 Bonus based on the number
of weeks during Fiscal Year 2008 that the Executive was employed by the Company.

          (b) The FY 2008 Bonus, if earned in accordance with Section 5(a), shall be payable at the
time set forth in the FY 2008 Plan.

     6. Supplemental
Compensation.

          (a) In addition to the Annual Base Salary, the Company shall pay the Executive an amount equal
to the number of actual days of employment services provided by the Executive to the Company after
the Effective Date but prior to June 30, 2009, (as approved by the President in writing),
multiplied by $3,500 (the “Supplemental Compensation”).

          (b) Except as provided in Section 8(b) of this Agreement, upon the Executive’s execution of a
release (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”)) at the time of each such
payment, the Supplemental Compensation for services performed in calendar year 2008 is payable in a
lump-sum on the Company’s first normal payroll date in January 2009 and the Supplemental
Compensation for services performed in calendar year 2009 is payable in a lump-sum on the Company’s
first normal payroll date in July 2009. The Company shall execute and deliver to the Executive the
Release upon delivery by the Executive to the Company of a counterpart of the Release executed by
the Executive; provided that any pending legal action by the Company against the Executive at the
time of the execution of the Release may be excluded by the Company from its release.

     7. Benefits.

          (a) The Company will provide the Executive with health benefits (including vision and dental,
if provided by the Company) during the Health Benefit Continuation Period, at the same level and on
comparable terms as provided by the Company to its employees from time to time during the Health
Benefit Continuation Period.

          (b) Health benefits provided during the Health Benefit Continuation Period shall be provided
in such a manner that the benefits (including the associated costs and premiums) are excluded from
the Executive’s income for federal income tax purposes and, if the

4

 

Company reasonably determines that providing continued coverage under one or more of the
health care benefit plans maintained by the Company could cause the benefits to be taxable to the
Executive, the Company shall provide the benefits at the required level through the reimbursement
of the Executive for premiums for the purchase of individual insurance coverage; provided, however,
that the Company shall only be required to reimburse premiums for such coverage to the extent they
do not exceed the greater of (i) two times the annual premium paid by the Company for such coverage
at the Effective Date or (ii) two times the then current amount of the COBRA premium under the
Company’s group health plan for comparable coverage. Any continuation of group health plan
coverage under this paragraph shall run concurrently with the period of required COBRA continuation
coverage under the Code.

          (c) The Company will provide the Executive with the following welfare benefits (“Welfare
Benefits”) until June 30, 2009, at the same level and on comparable terms as provided by the
Company to its employees from time to time during this period (including, in the case, of Group
Long-term Disability, the ability of the Executive to continue to pay his own premiums for such
coverage and be reimbursed for such payments by the Company, if that is the current practice being
used by the Executive):

          (i) Group Life Insurance.

          (ii)
Reimbursement of the Executive for up to an aggregate of $7,000 in premiums
payable by the Executive prior to December 31, 2008 and $2,900
in premiums payable by the Executive between December 31, 2008
and June 30, 2009 on an executive life insurance policy
maintained by the Company (but owned by the Executive and for which the premium is paid by
the Executive) and on other life insurance maintained by the Executive on his life (the
“Executive Life Insurance Reimbursement”).

          (iii) Group Long-term Disability.

          (d) Welfare Benefits (which does not include health benefits) shall be provided only to the
extent permitted under the terms of such plans.

          (e) The Executive’s current auto benefit will continue at Company expense until March 21,
2008, the expiration date of the Executive’s current auto lease. Upon expiration of the current
lease, beginning in April 2008, and thereafter through June 2009, the Company shall pay the
Executive $1,700 per month for all his auto-related expenses (the “Auto Benefit”).

          (f) The Company is not required to continue any health, welfare or auto benefit payments which
duplicate employee benefits and prerequisites received by the Executive from any other source.

          (g) The Company shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by him in the course of performing his duties under this Agreement which are consistent
with the Company’s policies in effect from time to time with respect to reimbursement of travel,
entertainment and other business-related expenses.

5

 

          (h) Reimbursement for expenses incurred in any calendar year shall not affect the
reimbursement of expenses incurred in subsequent calendar years and shall be paid no later than the
end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expenses are incurred.

          (i) The Company shall continue, until June 30, 2009, to reimburse the Executive for monthly
dues at Travis Pointe Country Club, not to exceed $450 per month (“Club Benefit”).

          (j) The Company shall reimburse the Executive for legal fees and disbursements reasonably
incurred in connection with the negotiation, execution, and delivery of this Agreement, up to a
maximum of $10,000, upon presentation to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer of satisfactory evidence
of the incurrence of such fees and disbursements.

          (k) Upon termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Company shall
transfer to the Executive the cell phone and laptop computer (including peripherals as approved by
the President in writing) the Executive was using as of the date preceding this Agreement; provided
that, unless otherwise requested by the Company in writing, Executive shall provide the Company
with a copy of and then delete from such computer all files that are proprietary to the Company.

          (l) The Executive shall not be entitled to any vacation benefits or to be paid for any
vacation benefits upon his termination with the Company, although any vacation taken by him during
the term of this Agreement shall not affect payments of his Annual Base Salary.

     8. Term.

          (a) The Executive’s employment with the Company shall automatically terminate on June 30,
2009, unless:

          (i) Extended by mutual written agreement of the Company (with the approval of the Board

Company and the Executive;

          (ii) Earlier terminated by the Company, upon written notice to the Executive; or

          (iii) Earlier terminated by the Executive, upon written notice to the Company.

          (b) Following

any reason, including a Termination of Employment (as defined in 8(c) of this
Agreement), the Executive will continue to receive the following payments/benefits:

payments/benefits set forth in Sections 8(b)(i), (v), (vi) and (vii).

          (c) For purposes of this Agreement, a “Termination of Employment” shall mean a “separation
from service” as defined in Code Section 409A.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of Termination of Employment, the Executive
constitutes a “Specified Employee” as defined in Code Section 409A, and the Executive’s aggregate
severance benefit is not exempt from Code Section 409A, commencing at Termination of Employment,
the Executive shall receive the benefits that are exempt from Code Section 409A. However, any
payments that are not exempt from Code Section 409A will be suspended until a period of six months
has lapsed from the Executive’s Termination of Employment or his
death, if earlier. At that time, any suspended payments
shall be aggregated and paid in a lump sum, and the remaining compensation, if any, shall be paid
in accordance with its regular schedule. Any payment, including amounts suspended under Code
Section 409A, made later than 10 days following the Executive’s Termination of Employment (or
applicable due date under this Section 8 or Section 15(a) hereof) for whatever reason, shall
include interest at the Prime Rate plus two percent, which shall begin accruing on the
10th day following the Executive’s Termination of Employment (or applicable due date
under this Section 8 or Section 15(a) hereof). “Prime Rate” shall be determined by reference to
the prime rate established by Comerica Bank (or its successor), in effect from time to time
commencing on the 10th day following the Executive’s Termination of Employment (or
applicable due date under this Agreement).

     9. Change in Control.

          (a) The Executive shall be entitled to the Change in Control Benefits (as defined in Section
9(b) below), in lieu of the compensation and benefits the Executive is entitled to under Sections
4, 5 and 7(c) of this Agreement, if there has been a Change in Control during the period beginning
with the Effective Date and ending on July 21, 2008.

          (b) “Change in Control Benefits” shall mean:

7

 

          (i) A cash benefit equal to $676,000, less all amounts paid to the Executive pursuant
to Section 4 of this Agreement, and the Executive shall not be entitled to any further
payments under Section 4 of this Agreement;

          (ii) $109,200, less all amounts paid to the Executive pursuant to Section 5 of this
Agreement, and the Executive shall not be entitled to any further payments under Section 5
of this Agreement;

          (iii) Subject to Section 7(f), continuation of Company-provided Welfare Benefits until
the Second Anniversary Date;

          (iv) Continued coverage, during the six (6) years following the Effective Date for his
actions or omissions as an officer and, if applicable, director of the Company prior to the
Effective Date under any directors and officers liability insurance policy maintained by the
Company (or, if the Company does not maintain such a policy, by its affiliates) for its
former directors and officers or, at the Company’s election, for the current directors and
officers. If the Company or its affiliates does not otherwise maintain such a policy, then
the Company shall be required to provide the Executive with such a policy, to the extent
available. The policy dollar coverage limits of any such policy shall be not less than the
policy limit under any Company policy in place within the one (1) year prior to the
Effective Date (the “Existing Policy”) or, if less, the policy dollar coverage limit that
can be purchased by the Company for all of its current and former directors and officers at
an annual premium equal to two times the Company’s annual premium for the Existing Policy.

          (c) Subject to Section 15(a) hereof and the Code Section 409A limitations set forth below,
upon the Executive’s execution of a release (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A) (the
“Release”), the Executive’s cash benefit under Section 9(b)(i) and (ii) shall be paid in a lump sum
cash payment within ten (10) days following a Change in Control that constitutes a “change in
control” as defined under Code Section 409A. If the Change in Control does not satisfy the Code
Section 409A definition, the benefit shall become due upon the Change in Control but shall not
become payable until the first to occur of (i) a Change in Control that constitutes a “change in
control” under Code Section 409A, or (ii) the Executive’s Termination of Employment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive constitutes a “Specified Employee” as defined under
Code Section 409A at the time of the Executive’s Termination of Employment, he shall be entitled to
receive any payments provided for in this Agreement exempt from Code Section 409A. However, any
payments that are not exempt from Code Section 409A shall be suspended until a period of six months
has lapsed from his Termination of Employment or his death, if
earlier, at which time the suspended payments shall be
aggregated and paid in a lump sum, and remaining compensation, if any, shall be paid in accordance
with its regular schedule. Any payment, including amounts suspended under Code Section 409A, made
later than 10 days following the Change in Control (or applicable due date under Section 15(a)
hereof) for whatever reason, shall include interest at the Prime Rate plus two percent, which shall
begin accruing on the 10th day following the Change in Control (or applicable due date under
Section 15(a) hereof).

8

 

     10. Golden Parachute Limit. Payments under this Agreement, if they constitute “golden
parachute” amounts (defined under Section 280G of the Code as compensation that becomes payable or
accelerated due to a Change in Control), when aggregated with any other “golden parachute” amounts
payable under this Agreement or any other plans, agreements or policies of the Company, shall not
exceed the golden parachute cap under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code.

     11. No Mitigation or Duty to Seek Reemployment. The Executive shall be under no duty
or obligation to seek or accept other employment during the term of this Agreement, or after the
Agreement terminates or after his employment with the Company
terminates, and shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payments provided for by this Agreement by
seeking employment or otherwise. Payments and provisions of benefits under this Agreement shall
not be reduced or suspended if the Executive accepts other employment, except that Company is not
required to continue any health, welfare or auto benefit payments which duplicate employee benefits
and perquisites received in such other employment.

     12. Stock Options. The Executive’s rights with respect to any options to purchase
Company stock shall be governed by the terms of the agreements pursuant to which such options were
issued; provided that any stock options held by the Executive that are not exercisable shall become
immediately exercisable upon the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, other
than a termination of his employment by the Company for Cause. Upon a termination by the Company
of the Executive’s employment for Cause, any stock options held by the Executive that are not
exercisable shall not become exercisable and shall automatically expire.

     13. Non-Competition and Restrictive Covenant. If, during the term that the Executive
is receiving benefits under this Agreement (including the Release),
the Executive violates the terms of this Agreement
 or
Section 8 of the Prior Agreement, which Section 8 shall survive the execution and termination of
this Agreement, or any other non-competition agreement with the
Company (including the Proprietary Information and Inventions
Agreement) (the “Restrictive
Covenants”), the Company’s obligations to the Executive under this Agreement shall automatically
terminate. For purposes of Section 8 of the Prior Agreement, “Payment Completion Period” shall
mean the period ending June 30, 2009, unless the Executive receives Change in Control Benefits
under Section 9, in which case, it shall be the Second Anniversary Date.

     14. Tax Withholding. The Company may withhold from any cash amounts payable to the
Executive under this Agreement to satisfy all applicable Federal, State, local or other income
(including excise) and employment withholding taxes. In the event the Company fails to withhold
such sums for any reason, or withholding is required for any non-cash payments to the Executive,
the Company may require the Executive to promptly remit to the Company sufficient cash to satisfy
all applicable income and employment withholding taxes.

     15. Binding Effect.

          (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company. The
Company shall take whatever actions are necessary to ensure that any successor to its operations
(whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all assets or

9

 

otherwise) assumes
the obligations under this Agreement and shall cause such successor to evidence the assumption of
such obligations in an agreement satisfactory to the Executive. Notwithstanding any other
provisions in this Agreement, if the Company fails to obtain an agreement evidencing the assumption
of the Company’s obligations by any such successor, the Executive shall be entitled to immediate
payment of the compensation provided under this Agreement. For purposes of implementing the
foregoing, the date on which any succession becomes effective shall be deemed to constitute the
date of the Executive’s termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the succession
does not constitute a “Change of Control” as defined under Code Section 409A, the accelerated
compensation payments under this Section 15 shall be suspended until the earlier of a “Change of
Control” as defined under Code Section 409A, or the Executive incurs an actual separation from
service, or, if later, at the end of any additional suspensions as may be required under this Agreement if the Executive is
a “Specified Employee” at the time of separation from service, at which time any suspended
payments, with interest at the Prime Rate plus two percent, accruing from 10 days following the
succession date, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (b) This Agreement shall be binding upon the Executive and shall inure to the benefit of and
be enforceable by the Executive’s legal representatives and heirs. However, the rights of the
Executive under this Agreement shall not be assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or
otherwise encumbered, except by operation of law.

     16. Amendment of Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by
instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. The parties agree that this Agreement may be
amended to comply with applicable law, including, but not limited to, Code Section 409A.

     17. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which
shall continue in full force and effect.

     18. Limitation on Rights.

          (a) This Agreement shall not be deemed to create a contract of employment between the Company
and the Executive and shall create no right in the Executive to continue in the Company’s
employment for any specific period of time, or to create any other rights in the Executive or
obligations on the part of the Company, except as set forth herein. This Agreement shall not
restrict the right of the Company to terminate the Executive, or restrict the right of the
Executive to terminate employment.

          (b) The rights of the Executive under this Agreement shall be solely those of an unsecured
general creditor of the Company.

     19. Claims Procedure.

          (a) The administrator for purposes of this Agreement shall be the Company (“Administrator”),
whose address is 47827 Halyard Drive, Plymouth, Michigan 48170, and whose telephone number is (734)
414-6100. The “Named Fiduciary” as defined in Section 402(a)(2) of ERISA, also shall be the
Company. The Company shall have the right to designate

10

 

one or more Company employees as the
Administrator and the Named Fiduciary at any time, and to change the address and telephone number
of the same. The Company shall give the Executive written notice of any change in the
Administrator and Named Fiduciary, or in the address or telephone number of the same.

          (b) The Administrator shall make all determinations as to the right of any person to receive
benefits under the Agreement. Any denial by the Administrator of a claim for benefits by the
Executive (“the claimant”) shall be stated in writing by the Administrator and delivered or mailed
to the claimant within 10 days after receipt of the claim, unless special circumstances require an
extension of time for processing the claim. If such an extension is required, written notice of
the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the
termination of the initial 10-day period. In no event shall such extension exceed a period of
10 days from the end of the initial period. Any notice of denial shall set forth the specific
reasons for the denial, specific reference to pertinent provisions of this Agreement upon which the
denial is based, a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant
to perfect the claim, with an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and any
explanation of claim review procedures, written to the best of the Administrator’s ability in a
manner that may be understood without legal or actuarial counsel.

          (c) A claimant whose claim for benefits has been wholly or partially denied by the
Administrator may request, within 60 days following the date of such denial, in a writing addressed
to the Administrator, a review of such denial. The claimant shall be entitled to submit such
issues or comments in writing or otherwise, as the claimant shall consider relevant to a
determination of the claim, and the claimant may include a request for a hearing in person before
the Administrator. Prior to submitting the request, the claimant shall be entitled to review such
documents as are pertinent to the claim. The claimant may, at all stages of review, be represented
by counsel, legal or otherwise, of the claimant’s choice. All requests for review shall be
promptly resolved. The Administrator’s decision with respect to any such review shall be set forth
in writing and shall be mailed to the claimant not later than 10 days following receipt by the
Administrator of the claimant’s request unless special circumstances, such as the need to hold a
hearing, require an extension of time for processing, in which case the Administrator’s decision
shall be so mailed not later than 20 days after receipt of such request.

          (d) A claimant who has followed the procedure in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section, but
who has not obtained full relief on the claim for benefits, may, within 60 days following the
claimant’s receipt of the Administrator’s written decision on review, apply in writing to the
Administrator for binding arbitration of the claim before an arbitrator mutually acceptable to both
parties, the arbitration to be held in Plymouth, Michigan, in accordance with the arbitration rules
of the American Arbitration Association, Commercial Disputes Resolution Procedures, as then in
effect. If the parties are unable to mutually agree upon an arbitrator, then the arbitration
proceedings shall be held before three arbitrators, one of which shall be designated by the
Company, one of which shall be designated by the claimant and the third of which shall be
designated mutually by the first two arbitrators in accordance with the arbitration rules
referenced above. The arbitrator(s) sole authority shall be to interpret and apply the provisions
of this Agreement; the arbitrator(s) shall not change, add to, or subtract from, any of the
Agreement’s provisions. The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to compel attendance of witnesses
at the hearing. Any court having jurisdiction may enter a judgment based upon such

11

 

arbitration.
All decisions of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on the claimant and the Company
without appeal to any court. The Executive and the Company hereby acknowledge that as arbitration
is the exclusive remedy with respect to any grievance hereunder, neither party has the right to
resort to any federal, state or local court or administrative agency concerning breaches of this
Agreement, and the decision of the arbitrator shall be a complete defense to any suit, action or
proceeding instituted in any federal, state or local court or before any administrative agency with
respect to any dispute which is arbitrable as herein set forth.

     20. Legal Fees and Expenses.

          (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 20(b), in the event any arbitration or litigation
is brought to enforce any provision of this Agreement and the Executive prevails, then the
Executive shall be entitled to recover from the Company the Executive’s reasonable costs and
reasonable expenses of such arbitration or litigation, including reasonable fees and disbursements
of counsel (both at trial and in appellate proceedings), (“Expenses). Except as otherwise provided
in Section 20(b), if the Company prevails, then each party shall be responsible for its/his
respective costs, expenses and attorneys fees, and the costs of the arbitrator shall be equally
divided.

          (b) Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, in the event any arbitration or
litigation is brought to enforce any provision of Section 9 of this Agreement, the Company shall
advance to the Executive one half of the amount of the Executive’s Expenses and shall pay the costs
of the arbitrator. The Executive shall be obligated to repay such advances to the Company only if
the Company prevails in the arbitration or litigation.

          (c) In the event that it is determined that the Executive is entitled to compensation, legal
fees and expenses hereunder, the Executive also shall be entitled to interest thereon, from the
date payment thereof was due, payable to the Executive at the Prime Rate of interest plus two
percent.

          (d) For purposes of this Section 20, “prevails” means that the Executive receives an award of
benefits in such arbitration or litigation in excess of the amount offered to be paid by the
Company to the Executive prior to the initiation of the arbitration or litigation. For purposes of
determining the date when legal fees and expenses are payable, such amounts are not due until 30
days after notification to the Company of such amounts.

          (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the payment by the Company of the
Executive’s Expenses more than two calendar years following the calendar year of the Executive’s
Termination of Employment (the “Outside Date”) would cause the payments under this Agreement to not
be exempt from Code Section 409A, no such payments after the Outside Date shall be payable
hereunder.

     21. Nonalienation of Benefits. Except in so far as this provision may be contrary to
applicable law, no sale, transfer, alienation, assignment, pledge, collateralization or attachment
of any benefits under this Agreement shall be valid or recognized by the Company.

     22. ERISA. This Agreement is an unfunded compensation arrangement for a member of a
select group of the Company’s management or highly compensated employees and

12

 

any exemptions under
ERISA, as applicable to such an arrangement, shall be applicable to this Agreement.

     23. Reporting and Disclosure. The Company, from time to time, shall provide
government agencies with such reports concerning this Agreement as may be required by law, and the
Company shall provide the Executive with such disclosure concerning this Agreement as may be
required by law or as the Company may deem appropriate.

     24. Notices. Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing,
sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the Board and the
Company at the Company’s then principal office, or to the Executive at the Executive’s last address
on file with the Company, as the case may be, or to such other address or addresses as any party
hereto may from time to time specify in writing for the purpose of this Agreement in a notice given
to the other parties in compliance with this section. Notices shall be deemed given when received.

     25. Miscellaneous/Severability. A waiver of the breach of any term or condition of
this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or
any other term or condition. This Agreement is intended to be performed in accordance with, and
only to the extent permitted by, all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. To the
extent that any provision or benefit under this Agreement is not deemed to be in accordance with
any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation, the noncomplying provision shall be construed,
or benefit limited, to the extent necessary to comply with all applicable laws, ordinances and
regulations and any such provision or benefit shall not affect the validity of any other provision
or benefit provided by this Agreement. The headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience
of reference only and shall not be a part of or control or affect the meaning of any provision
hereof.

     26. Governing Law. To the extent not preempted by Federal law, this Agreement shall
be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to
its conflicts of law rules.

     27. Entire Agreement. This document represents the entire agreement and understanding
of the parties with respect to the subject matter of the Agreement (other than Section 8 of the
Prior Agreement, as amended, and the Company’s Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement,
which shall remain in full force and effect after the execution of this Agreement) and it may not
be altered or amended except by an agreement in writing that is executed by both parties to this
Agreement. Specifically, this Agreement supersedes any compensation or severance pay provisions in
the Severance Agreement, the Prior Agreement or the Company’s documented severance policy, if any.
