amounts to be payable per share in respect of the Common Stock in liquidation under the

          1.3. Company Acknowledgment. The Company will, at the time of the exercise of this
Warrant, upon the request of the holder hereof acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to
afford to such holder any rights to which such holder shall continue to be entitled after such

shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation
of the Company to afford to such holder any such rights.

          1.4. Trustee for Warrant Holders. In the event that a bank or trust company shall
have been appointed as trustee for the holders of this Warrant pursuant to Subsection 3.2, such
bank or trust company shall have all the powers and duties of a warrant agent (as hereinafter
described) and shall accept, in its own name for the account of the Company or such successor
person as may be entitled thereto, all amounts otherwise payable to the Company or such successor,
as the case may be, on exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 1.

     2. Procedure for Exercise.

          2.1. Delivery of Stock Certificates, Etc., on Exercise. The Company agrees that the
shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to be issued to the
Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this
Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such shares in accordance herewith. As
soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any event within
three (3) business days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any
applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as
such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in compliance
with applicable securities laws, a certificate or certificates for the number of duly and validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such
Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such
holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market
Value of one full share, together with any other stock or other securities and property (including
cash, where applicable) to which such Holder is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1
or otherwise.

          2.2. Exercise.

     (a) Payment may be made either (i) in cash or by certified or official bank check
payable to the order of the Company equal to the applicable aggregate Exercise Price, (ii)
by delivery of this Warrant, or shares of Common Stock and/or Common Stock receivable upon
exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the formula set forth in subsection (b) below,
or (iii) by a combination of any of the foregoing methods, for the number of Common Shares
specified in such Exercise Notice (as such exercise number shall be adjusted to reflect any
adjustment in the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder per the
terms of this Warrant) and the Holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of
duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or
Other Securities) determined as provided herein.

     (b) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the Fair Market Value of
one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as
set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to
receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion
thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company
together with the properly endorsed Exercise Notice in which event the

 

 

Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the
following formula:

	 	 	 	 	 
	X=

	 	Y(A-B)
	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	A	 	 

 

			
	Where X =	 	 the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder
	 
	Y =	 	 the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant or,
if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of this
Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation)
	 
	A =	 	the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the
date of such calculation)
	 
	B =	 	 the Exercise Price per share (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

     3. Effect of Reorganization, Etc.; Adjustment of Exercise Price.

          3.1. Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Etc. In case at any time or from time to
time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or merge into any other
person, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person
under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such
case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and adequate provision shall
be made by the Company whereby the Holder, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 at any
time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date
of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the Common Stock (or Other
Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such consummation or such effective date, the stock
and other securities and property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled
upon such consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such Holder
had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment
thereafter as provided in Section 4.

          3.2. Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company following the
transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, concurrently with
any distributions made to holders of its Common Stock, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Holder the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where
applicable) receivable by the Holder pursuant to Section 3.1, or, if the Holder shall so instruct
the Company, to a bank or trust company specified by the Holder and having its principal office in
New York, NY as trustee for the Holder (the “Trustee”).

          3.3. Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or
transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this Section 3, this Warrant
shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of
stock and other securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the
consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution
following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any such
stock or other securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person

 

 

acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not
such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 4. In
the event this Warrant does not continue in full force and effect after the consummation of the
transactions described in this Section 3, then the Company’s securities and property (including
cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder will be delivered to the Holder or the Trustee as
contemplated by Section 3.2.

     4. Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that the Company shall
(a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding
Common Stock or any preferred stock issued by the Company (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of
Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Exercise Price shall, simultaneously with
the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Exercise Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Exercise Price
then in effect. The Exercise Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the
happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 4. The number of
shares of Common Stock that the Holder shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in
Section 1, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the
number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be
issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Exercise Price that would
otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the
Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise (taking into account the provisions of this
Section 4).

     5. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in
the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the
Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate
designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant
and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the
facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the
consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or
Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of
Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise
Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as
provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the
Holder and any Warrant agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 11 hereof).

     6. Reservation of Stock, Etc., Issuable on Exercise of Warrant. The Company will at
all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of this
Warrant, shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of
this Warrant.

 

 

     7. Assignment; Exchange of Warrant. Subject to compliance with applicable securities
laws, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may be transferred by any registered holder
hereof (a “Transferor”) in whole or in part. On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with
the Transferor’s endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Transferor Endorsement
Form”) and together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company demonstrating compliance
with applicable securities laws, which shall include, without limitation, the provision of a legal
opinion from the Transferor’s counsel (at the Company’s expense) that such transfer is exempt from
the registration requirements of applicable securities laws, the Company at its expense (but with
payment by the Transferor of any applicable transfer taxes) will issue and deliver to or on the
order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Transferor and/or
the transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Endorsement Form (each a “Transferee”), calling in
the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on
the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor.

     8. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such
loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security
reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation,
on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver,
in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

     9. Registration Rights. The Holder has been granted certain registration rights by
the Company. These registration rights are set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement entered
into by the Company and Holder dated as of the date hereof, as the same may be amended, modified
and/or supplemented from time to time.

     10. Maximum Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event
shall the Holder be entitled to exercise any portion of this Warrant in excess of that portion of
this Warrant upon exercise of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be
deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised portion of the Warrant or the
unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Holder subject to a limitation on
conversion analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of the portion of this Warrant with respect to which the
determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and
its Affiliates of any amount greater than 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock
(whether or not, at the time of such exercise, the Holder and its Affiliates beneficially own more
than 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock). As used herein, the term “Affiliate”
means any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries,
controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a person or entity, as such terms are
used in and construed under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. For purposes of the proviso to the
second preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except
as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso. The limitations set forth herein (x) may be
waived by the Holder upon provision of no less than sixty-one (61) days prior notice to the Company
and (y) shall automatically become

 

 

null and void following notice to the Company upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default (as defined in the Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof among the
Holder and the Company (as amended, modified, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, the
“Purchase Agreement”)), except that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder exceed 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable by the Company and acquirable by the Holder at a price below $1.79 per share pursuant to
the terms of this Warrant, the Purchase Agreement, any Related Agreement (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement) or otherwise, shall not exceed an aggregate of 1,953,725 shares of Common Stock
(subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, or other similar
recapitalizations affecting the Common Stock) (the “Maximum Common Stock Issuance”), unless the
issuance of Common Shares hereunder in excess of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance shall first be
approved by the Company’s shareholders. If at any point in time and from time to time the number
of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Purchase Agreement, any
Related Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or otherwise, together with the number of
shares of Common Stock that would then be issuable by the Company to the Holder in the event of a
conversion pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Purchase Agreement, any Related Agreement (as
defined in the Purchase Agreement) or otherwise, would exceed the Maximum Common Stock Issuance but
for this Section 10, the Company shall promptly call a shareholders meeting to solicit shareholder
approval for the issuance of the shares of Common Stock hereunder in excess of the Maximum Common
Stock Issuance.

     11. Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the each Holder of the
Warrant, appoint an agent for the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or Other Securities) on the
exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1, exchanging this Warrant pursuant to Section 7, and
replacing this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such
issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by such agent.

     12. Transfer on the Company’s Books. Until this Warrant is transferred on the books
of the Company, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof for
all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

     13. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications from the Company to the Holder
shall be mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at such address as
may have been furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder or, until any such Holder
furnishes to the Company an address, then to, and at the address of, the last Holder who has so
furnished an address to the Company.

     14. Miscellaneous. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived,
discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which
enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. THIS WARRANT SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. ANY ACTION BROUGHT CONCERNING THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY
THIS WARRANT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN THE STATE

 

 

COURTS OF NEW YORK OR IN THE FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, THAT THE HOLDER MAY CHOOSE TO WAIVE THIS PROVISION AND BRING AN ACTION OUTSIDE THE STATE
OF NEW YORK. The individuals executing this Warrant on behalf of the Company agree to submit to
the jurisdiction of such courts and waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to
recover from the other party its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. In the event that any
provision of this Warrant is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law,
then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and
shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may
prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any
other provision of this Warrant. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only,
and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provision hereof. The Company acknowledges that legal counsel participated in the
preparation of this Warrant and, therefore, stipulates that the rule of construction that
ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the
interpretation of this Warrant to favor any party against the other party.

     15. Sale Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
Holder shall not be entitled to sell an shares of Common Stock of the Company received by the
Holder upon the exercise all or any portion of this Warrant or any other common stock purchase
warrant issued by the Company to the Holder on or prior to the date hereof, prior to the three
hundred sixty fifth day (365) following the date hereof. The sale limitation described in this
Section 15 shall automatically become null and void without any notice to any Company upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

          (a) prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to such
Registrable Securities, respond as promptly as possible to any comments received from the
Commission, and use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become and remain
effective for the Effectiveness Period with respect thereto, and promptly provide to the Purchaser
copies of all filings and Commission letters of comment relating thereto;

          (b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration
Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement and to keep such Registration Statement effective until the
expiration of the Effectiveness Period applicable to such Registration Statement;

3

 

          (c) furnish to the Purchaser such number of copies of the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus included therein (including each preliminary Prospectus) as the Purchaser reasonably may
request to facilitate the public sale or disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement;

          (d) use its best efforts to register or qualify the Purchaser’s Registrable Securities covered
by such Registration Statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within
the United States as the Purchaser may reasonably request, provided, however, that the Company
shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign
corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of
process in any such jurisdiction;

          (e) list the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement with any securities
exchange on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed;

          (f) immediately notify the Purchaser at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which the
Company has knowledge as a result of which the Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement,
as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
light of the circumstances then existing; and

          (g) make available for inspection by the Purchaser and any attorney, accountant or other agent
retained by the Purchaser, all publicly available, non-confidential financial and other records,
pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers,
directors and employees to supply all publicly available, non-confidential information reasonably
requested by the attorney, accountant or agent of the Purchaser.

     4. Registration Expenses. Expenses relating to the Company’s compliance with Sections 2 and 3
hereof, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees
and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses
(including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or
“blue sky” laws, fees of the NASD, transfer taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars, fees of,
and disbursements incurred by, one counsel for the Holders are called “Registration Expenses”.
Selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities, including any fees and
disbursements of any special counsel to the Holders beyond those included in Registration Expenses,
are called “Selling Expenses.” The Company shall only be responsible for all Registration
Expenses.

     5. Indemnification.

          (a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act
pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, and its
officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of
the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which
such Holder, or such persons may become subject under the Securities Act or

4

 

otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were
registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus or final
Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse such Holder,
and each such person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided,
however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any
such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished
by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any such person in writing specifically for use in any such
document.

          (b) In the event of a registration of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act
pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and its
officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
the Securities Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which
the Company or such persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact which was
furnished in writing by the Purchaser to the Company expressly for use in (and such information is
contained in) the Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered
under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus
contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each
such person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided,
however, that the Purchaser will be liable in any such case if and only to the extent that
any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information
furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser specifically for use in any
such document. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, the Purchaser shall not be
required to indemnify any person or entity in excess of the amount of the aggregate net proceeds
received by the Purchaser in respect of Registrable Securities in connection with any such
registration under the Securities Act.

          (c) Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to claim indemnification hereunder (an
“Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if
a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against a party hereto obligated to
indemnify such Indemnified Party (an “Indemnifying Party”), notify the Indemnifying Party in
writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party other than under this Section 5(c) and shall
only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Section
5(c) if and to the extent the Indemnifying Party is

5

 

prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified
Party and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying
Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake
the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and, after notice from the
Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense
thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section
5(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the
defense thereof; if the Indemnified Party retains its own counsel, then the Indemnified Party shall
pay all fees, costs and expenses of such counsel, provided, however, that, if the
defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available
to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the
interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the
Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select one separate counsel and
to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the
reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such
participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred.

          (d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint liability
under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) the Purchaser, or any officer, director or
controlling person of the Purchaser, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5
but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent
jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that
such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 5
provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be
required on the part of the Purchaser or such officer, director or controlling person of the
Purchaser in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 5; then, and in
each such case, the Company and the Purchaser will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims,
damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such
proportion so that the Purchaser is responsible only for the portion represented by the percentage
that the public offering price of its securities offered by the Registration Statement bears to the
public offering price of all securities offered by such Registration Statement, provided,
however, that, in any such case, (A) the Purchaser will not be required to contribute any
amount in excess of the public offering price of all such securities offered by it pursuant to such
Registration Statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

     6. Representations and Warranties.

          (a) The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and,
except with respect to certain matters which the Company has disclosed to the Purchaser on
Schedule 12(u) to the Security Agreement, the Company has timely filed all proxy
statements, reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it
under the Exchange Act. The Company has filed (i) its Annual Report on Form 10-Kfor the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2004 and (ii) its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters
ended March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005 (collectively, the “SEC

6

 

Reports”). Each SEC Report was, at the time of its filing, in substantial compliance with the
requirements of its respective form and none of the SEC Reports, nor the financial statements (and
the notes thereto) included in the SEC Reports, as of their respective filing dates, contained any
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports
comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the
published rules and regulations of the Commission or other applicable rules and regulations with
respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved
(except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto or (ii)
in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be
condensed) and fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, the results of
operations and the cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, as of,
and for, the periods presented in each such SEC Report.

          (b) The Common Stock is listed for trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market and satisfies all
requirements for the continuation of such listing, and the Company shall do all things necessary
for the continuation of such listing. The Company has not received any notice that its Common
Stock will be delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market (except for prior notices which have been
fully remedied) or that the Common Stock does not meet all requirements for the continuation of
such listing

          (c) Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their
behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers
to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to
the Security Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the
Securities Act which would prevent the Company from selling the Common Stock pursuant to Rule 506
under the Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder approval provisions, nor
will the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause
the offering of the Common Stock to be integrated with other offerings (other than such concurrent
offering to the Purchaser).

          (d) The Warrants and the shares of Common Stock that the Purchaser may acquire pursuant to the
Warrants are all restricted securities under the Securities Act as of the date of this Agreement.
The Company will not issue any stop transfer order or other order impeding the sale and delivery of
any of the Registrable Securities at such time as such Registrable Securities are registered for
public sale or an exemption from registration is available, except as required by federal or state
securities laws.

          (e) The Company understands the nature of the Registrable Securities issuable upon the
exercise of each Warrant and recognizes that the issuance of such Registrable Securities may have a
potential dilutive effect. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue the
Registrable Securities is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such
issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company.

7

 

          (f) Except for agreements made in the ordinary course of business, there is no agreement that
has not been filed with the Commission as an exhibit to a registration statement or to a form
required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act, the breach of which could reasonably be
expected to have a material and adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, or would
prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of the Company to enter into and perform any of
its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.

          (g) The Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares
of Common Stock for the full exercise of the Warrants.

     7. Miscellaneous.

          (a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their
respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement,
including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this
Agreement.

          (b) No Piggyback on Registrations. Except as and to the extent set forth on Schedule 7(b)
hereto, neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such
capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in any Registration Statement other
than the Registrable Securities, and the Company shall not after the date hereof enter into any
agreement providing any such right for inclusion of shares in the Registration Statement to any of
its security holders. Except as and to the extent specified in Schedule 7(b) hereto, the
Company has not previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect
to any of its securities to any Person that have not been fully satisfied.

          (c) Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of
Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement.

          (d) Discontinued Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable
Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of a Discontinuation
Event (as defined below), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable
Securities under the applicable Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of
the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing
(the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in
either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company
may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph. For purposes of
this Agreement, a “Discontinuation Event” shall mean (i) when the Commission notifies the Company
whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission
comments in writing on such Registration Statement (the Company shall provide true and complete
copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each of the Holders); (ii) any request by the
Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to
such Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) the issuance by the

8

 

Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement
covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that
purpose; (iv) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and/or (v) the
occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in such
Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in such Registration
Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration
Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement or
Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

          (e) Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time [during any Effectiveness Period][after the date
hererof] there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable
Securities required to be covered [during such Effectiveness Period][hereunder] and the Company
shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an
offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity
securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or
their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any
acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option
or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to each Holder written notice of such
determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice, any such Holder shall
so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of
such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered, to the extent the Company may do
so without violating registration rights of others which exist as of the date of this Agreement,
subject to customary underwriter cutbacks applicable to all holders of registration rights and
subject to obtaining any required consent of any selling stockholder(s) to such inclusion under
such registration statement.

          (f) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of
this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures
from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Company and the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that
relates exclusively to the rights of certain Holders and that does not directly or indirectly
affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of at least a majority of the
Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however,
that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in
accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence.

          (g) Notices. Any notice or request hereunder may be given to the Company or the Purchaser at
the respective addresses set forth below or as may hereafter be specified in a notice designated as
a change of address under this Section 7(g). Any notice or request hereunder shall be given by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, hand delivery,

the case of those by mail or overnight mail, deemed to have been given three (3) business days
after the date when deposited in the mail or with the overnight mail carrier, in the case of a

          (h) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each
Holder. The Company may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of each Holder. Each Holder may assign their respective rights hereunder in the manner and
to the Persons as permitted under the Security Agreement.

10

 

          (i) Execution and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together
shall constitute one and the same agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by
facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party
executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect
as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.

          (j) Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY
AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO
CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW. The
Company hereby consents and agrees that the state or federal courts located in the County of New
York, State of New York shall have exclusion jurisdiction to hear and determine any Proceeding
between the Company, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, pertaining to this
Agreement or to any matter arising out of or related to this Agreement; provided, that the
Purchaser and the Company acknowledge that any appeals from those courts may have to be heard by a
court located outside of the County of New York, State of New York, and further
provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or operate to preclude the
Purchaser from bringing a Proceeding in any other jurisdiction to collect the obligations, to
realize on the Collateral or any other security for the obligations, or to enforce a judgment or
other court order in favor of the Purchaser. The Company expressly submits and consents in advance
to such jurisdiction in any Proceeding commenced in any such court, and the Company hereby waives
any objection which it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or
forum non conveniens. The Company hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaint
and other process issued in any such Proceeding and agrees that service of such summons, complaint
and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to the Company at the
address set forth in Section 7(g) and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the
earlier of the Company’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails,
proper postage prepaid. The parties hereto desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge
applying such applicable laws. Therefore, to achieve the best combination of the benefits of the
judicial system and of arbitration, the parties hereto waive all rights to trial by jury in any
Proceeding brought to resolve any dispute, whether arising in contract, tort, or otherwise between
the Purchaser and/or the Company arising out of, connected with, related or incidental to the
relationship established between then in connection with this Agreement. If either party hereto
shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, the Security Agreement or
any other Ancillary Agreement, then the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed by
the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the
investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Proceeding.

          (k) Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any
remedies provided by law.

          (l) 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

11

 

the parties hereto shall use their 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.

          (m) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall
not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
