            1.
 	
            SUBSCRIPTION AND CONSIDERATION UNITS
 

 (a)        Subscription.  The Subscriber hereby subscribes for the number of KeyOn Communications, Inc. common stock shares (“Units”) indicated on page 7 hereof on the terms and conditions described herein.  

(b)        Units.  The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that the value per share shall be set at $0.60 per Unit, and the aggregate number shares shall be 333,333 as set forth on page 7 hereof (the “Consideration Shares”).  

	
            2.
 	
    THE SUBSCRIBER’S REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
 

The Subscriber hereby acknowledges, agrees with and represents, warrants and covenants to the Company, as follows:

(a)        The Subscriber has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, the execution and delivery of which has been duly authorized, if applicable, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Subscriber.

(b)        The Subscriber acknowledges its understanding that the Offering and transfer of the  Securities is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder (“Regulation D”).  In furtherance thereof, the Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company and its affiliates as follows:

(i)        The Subscriber realizes that the basis for the exemption from registration may not be available if, notwithstanding the Subscriber’s representations contained herein, the Subscriber is merely acquiring the Securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. The Subscriber does not have any such intention.

(ii)        The Subscriber realizes that the basis for exemption would not be available if the Offering is part of a plan or scheme to evade registration provisions of the Securities Act or any applicable state or federal securities laws.

 

 

(iii)       The Subscriber is acquiring the Securities solely for the Subscriber’s own beneficial account, for investment purposes, and not with a view towards, or resale in connection with, any distribution of the Securities.

(iv)       The Subscriber has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of the Subscriber’s investment, has adequate means for providing for its current needs and contingencies, and has no need for liquidity with respect to an investment in the Company.

(v)        The Subscriber and the Subscriber’s attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax advisor, if any (collectively, the “Advisors”) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of a prospective investment in the Securities. If other than an individual, the Subscriber also represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.

 

(vi)       The Subscriber (together with its Advisors, if any) has received all documents requested by the Subscriber, if any, has carefully reviewed them and understands the information contained therein, prior to the execution of this Agreement.

(c)        The Subscriber is not relying on the Company or any of its employees, agents, sub-agents or advisors with respect to economic considerations involved in this investment. The Subscriber has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only its Advisors. Each Advisor, if any, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities, and each Advisor, if any, has disclosed to the Subscriber in writing (a copy of which is annexed to this Agreement) the specific details of any and all past, present or future relationships, actual or contemplated, between the Advisor and the Company or any affiliate or sub-agent thereof.

(d)        The Subscriber has carefully considered the potential risks relating to the Company and a purchase of the Securities, and fully understands that the Securities are a speculative investment that involve a high degree of risk of loss of the Subscriber’s entire investment.

(e)        The Subscriber represents, warrants and agrees that the Subscriber will not sell or otherwise transfer any Securities without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and fully understands and agrees that the Subscriber must bear the economic risk of its purchase because, among other reasons, the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states, or an exemption from such registration is available.  In particular, the Subscriber is aware that the Securities are “restricted securities,” as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act
(“Rule 144”), and they may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 unless all of the conditions of Rule 144 are met. The Subscriber also understands that, except as otherwise provided in Section 5 hereof, the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities on behalf of the Subscriber or to assist the Subscriber in complying with any exemption from registration under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. The Subscriber understands that any sales or transfers of the Securities are further restricted by state securities laws and the provisions of this Agreement.

(f)        No oral or written representations or warranties have been made to the Subscriber by the Company or any of its officers, employees, agents, sub-agents, affiliates, advisors or subsidiaries, other than any representations of the Company contained herein, and in subscribing for the Units, the Subscriber is not relying upon any representations other than those contained herein.

(g)        The Subscriber’s overall commitment to investments that are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the Subscriber’s net worth, and an investment in the Securities will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.

 

 

(h)        The Subscriber understands and agrees that the certificates for the Securities shall bear substantially the following legend until (i) such Securities shall have been registered under the Securities Act and effectively disposed of in accordance with a registration statement that has been declared effective or (ii) in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such Securities may be sold without registration under the Securities Act, as well as any applicable “blue sky” or state securities laws:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  SUCH SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, DELIVERED AFTER SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED BY THE ISSUER WITH THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION COVERING SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

(i)        Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved the Securities. There is no government or other insurance covering any of the Securities.

(j)        The Subscriber and its Advisors, if any, have had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from a person or persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Company, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the Subscriber and its Advisors, if any.

(k)        The Subscriber is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of the Subscription opportunity through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or electronic mail over the Internet, in connection with the Subscription and is not subscribing for Units and did not become aware of the Subscription through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which the Subscriber was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not previously known to the Subscriber in connection with investments in securities generally.

(l)        The Subscriber has taken no action that would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finders’ fees or the like relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(m)       The Subscriber is not relying on the Company or any of its employees, agents, or advisors with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations of an investment in the Securities, and the Subscriber has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only its own Advisors.

(n)        The Subscriber acknowledges that any estimates or forward-looking statements or projections furnished by the Company to the Subscriber were prepared by the management of the Company in good faith, but that the attainment of any such projections, estimates or forward-looking statements cannot be guaranteed by the Company or its management and should not be relied upon.

(o)        No oral or written representations have been made, or oral or written information furnished, to the Subscriber or its Advisors, if any, in connection with the Offering that are in any way inconsistent with the information contained herein.

(p)        (For ERISA plans only) The fiduciary of the ERISA plan (the “Plan”) represents that such fiduciary has been informed of and understands the Company’s investment objectives, policies and strategies, and that the decision to invest “plan assets” (as such term is defined in ERISA) in the Company is consistent with the provisions of ERISA that require diversification of plan assets and impose other fiduciary responsibilities. The Subscriber or Plan fiduciary (i) is responsible for the decision to invest in the Company; (ii) is independent of the Company and any of its affiliates; (iii) is qualified to make such investment decision; and (iv) in making such decision, the Subscriber or Plan fiduciary has not relied primarily on any advice or recommendation of the Company or
any of its affiliates.

 

 

(q)        This Agreement is not enforceable by the Subscriber unless it has been accepted by the Company, and the Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Company reserves the right to reject any subscription for any reason.

(r)        The Subscriber will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and, where applicable, its directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, affiliates and shareholders, and each other person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing from and against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all fees, costs and expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim, lawsuit, administrative proceeding or investigation whether commenced or threatened) (a “Loss”) arising out of or based upon any representation or warranty of the Subscriber contained herein or in any document furnished by the Subscriber to the Company in connection herewith being untrue in any material respect or
any breach or failure by the Subscriber to comply with any covenant or agreement made by the Subscriber herein or therein; provided, however, that the Subscriber shall not be liable for any Loss that in the aggregate exceeds the value of such Subscriber’s Consideration Shares tendered hereunder.

(s)        The Subscriber is, and on each date on which the Subscriber continues to own restricted securities from the Offering, will be an “Accredited Investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. In general, an “Accredited Investor” is deemed to be an institution with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,0000 or $300,000 jointly with his or her spouse.

(t)        The Subscriber, 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 Offering, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Subscriber has not authorized any person or entity to act as its Purchaser Representative (as that term is defined in Regulation D of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act) in connection with the Offering. The Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

	
             
 	
            (u)
 	
            The foregoing representations, warranties and agreements shall survive the Closing.
 

	
            3.

Company and its representatives.

 

 

(f)        The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Subscriber and, where applicable, its directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and shareholders, from and against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all fees, costs and expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim, lawsuit, administrative proceeding or investigation whether commenced or threatened) arising out of or based upon any representation or warranty of the Company contained herein or in any document furnished by the Company to the Subscriber in connection herewith being untrue in any material respect or any breach or failure by the Company to comply with any covenant or agreement made by the Company to the Subscriber in connection therewith, 
provided, however, that the Company’s liability shall not exceed the value of the Subscriber’s Consideration Shares tendered hereunder.

    Amendment
2008-1 to the Severance Agreement

    

    This
AMENDMENT is dated as of September ___, 2008, between CHARMING SHOPPES, INC.
(the “Company”) and _____________ (the “Executive”).

     

    WHEREAS,
the Company and the Executive have entered into a severance agreement dated as
of ____________, 2008 (the “Severance Agreement”), and the parties now wish to
amend the Severance Agreement.

     

    WHEREAS,
Section 11.5 of the Severance Agreement provides that the Severance Agreement
may be modified upon approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) and agreement in writing by the
Executive and an authorized officer of the Company.

     

    WHEREAS,
on September 18, 2008 (the “Effective Date”), the Committee approved the
amendment to the Severance Agreement set forth below.

     

    NOW,
THEREFORE, the parties agree that the Severance Agreement is hereby amended as
follows:

     

    
      	
              1.  

            	
              Section
      3.4 (c) is amended by adding the following after the second
      sentence:

            

    

    

    Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event of a Qualifying Termination prior to January 1,
2010, any restrictions on the Executive’s outstanding restricted stock units
that would have lapsed on the next two anniversaries of the grant date of the
restricted stock units in the absence of a termination of employment (but
disregarding any other event occurring prior to such anniversaries) will lapse
on an accelerated basis at the Effective Date of Termination, so that such
restricted stock units will not be forfeited.  The provisions of this
Section 3.4(c) shall not limit any terms of a restricted stock unit agreement
that are more favorable to the Executive (including any provisions for full
acceleration upon a Change in Control as set forth in a restricted stock
agreement).

    

    
      	
              2.  

            	
              This
      amendment shall be effective as of the Effective
  Date.

            

    

     

    

     

    

     

    

     

    

     

    

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

     

    

     

    
      	
              3.  

            	
              In
      all respects not amended, the Severance Agreement is hereby ratified and
      confirmed.
