Exhibit 10.1

DIRECTOR AND OFFICER INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

          This Director and Officer Indemnification Agreement, dated as of ____________, 200___(this
“Agreement”), is made by and between GenCorp Inc., an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), and
____________(the “Indemnitee”), a director and/or officer of the Company.

RECITALS

          A. The Indemnitee is currently serving as a director and/or officer of the Company, and the
Company desires that the Indemnitee continue serving in such capacity. The Indemnitee is willing,
subject to certain conditions, including the execution and performance of this Agreement by the
Company, to continue serving in such capacity.

          B. In addition to the indemnification to which the Indemnitee is entitled under the Amended
Code of Regulations of the Company (the “Regulations”), the Company has obtained, at its sole
expense, insurance protecting the Company and its officers and directors, including the Indemnitee,
against certain losses arising out of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or
proceeding to which such persons may be made or are threatened to be made parties.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce the Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve in his current
capacity, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Indemnitee agree as follows:

     1. CONTINUED SERVICE

          The Indemnitee shall serve or continue to serve as a director and/or officer of the Company so
long as he is duly elected in accordance with the Regulations or until he resigns in writing or is
removed from office in accordance with applicable law.

     2. INITIAL INDEMNITY

          (a) The Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee if or when he is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or claim, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the
Company), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director and/or officer of the Company or is or
was serving at the request of the Company as a director, trustee, officer, employee, member,
manager or agent of another corporation, domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit, a limited
liability company, or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any

 

action alleged to have been taken or omitted in any such capacity, against any and all costs, charges, expenses (including fees and expenses of attorneys or others; all such costs,
charges and expenses being herein jointly referred to as “Expenses”), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually incurred by the Indemnitee in connection therewith, including any
appeal of or from any judgment or decision, (i) in the case of an Indemnitee that is a director of
the Company, unless it is proved by clear and convincing evidence in a court of competent
jurisdiction that the Indemnitee’s action or failure to act involved an act or omission undertaken
with deliberate intent to cause injury to the Company or undertaken with reckless disregard for the
best interests of the Company and (ii) in the case of an Indemnitee that is an officer of the
Company but not a director of the Company, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner
which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. In
addition, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, indemnification hereunder shall be
made only if the Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action, suit, proceeding or claim by judgment, order, settlement or conviction,
or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption
that the Indemnitee did not satisfy the foregoing applicable standard of conduct.

          (b) The Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee if or when he is a party or is threatened to be
made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or claim by or in
the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor, by reason of the fact that the
Indemnitee is or was a director and/or officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request
of the Company as a director, trustee, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of another
corporation, domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit, a limited liability company, or a
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have
been taken or omitted in any such capacity, against any and all Expenses, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually incurred by the Indemnitee in connection therewith, including
any appeal of or from any judgment or decision, (i) in the case of an Indemnitee that is a director
of the Company, unless it is proved by clear and convincing evidence in a court of competent
jurisdiction that the Indemnitee’s action or failure to act involved an act or omission undertaken
with deliberate intent to cause injury to the Company or undertaken with reckless disregard for the
best interests of the Company and (ii) in the case of an Indemnitee that is an officer of the
Company but not a director of the Company, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner
which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2(b), no indemnification pursuant to this
Section 2(b) shall be made (A) in the case of an Indemnitee that is an officer but not a director
of the Company, in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the Indemnitee is adjudged to
be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Company unless, and
only to the extent that, the court of common pleas or other court in which such action, suit,
proceeding or claim was brought determines, notwithstanding any adjudication of liability, that in
view of all the circumstances of the case the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement as such court of

-2-

 

common pleas or other court shall deem proper, or (B) in the case of an Indemnitee that is a
director of the Company, in respect of any action, suit, proceeding or claim in which the only liability asserted against the Indemnitee is pursuant to Section 1701.95 of the Ohio
Revised Code (the “ORC”).

          (c) Any indemnification under Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof (unless ordered by the court in
which such action, suit, proceeding or claim was brought) shall be made by the Company only upon a
determination relating to the specific case that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the
circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 2(a) or
2(b) hereof. Prior to a Change in Control (as defined in Section 5 hereof), such determination
shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) by a majority vote or
consent of a quorum consisting of directors who were not and are not parties to or threatened with
such action, suit, proceeding or claim (“Disinterested Directors”) or (ii) if such a quorum of
Disinterested Directors is not available or if a majority of such quorum so directs, by Independent
Counsel in a written opinion to the Board (with a copy to the Indemnitee; provided,
however, that if the Indemnitee is no longer serving as a director of the Company or as an
officer of the Company at the time that such action, suit, proceeding or claim is initiated, then
such determination shall be made by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board (with a
copy to the Indemnitee), unless the Indemnitee shall have elected in writing to have such
determination made by a majority vote or consent of a quorum of Disinterested Directors, in which
case such determination shall be made by such quorum of Disinterested Directors. Following a
Change in Control, such determination shall be made by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to
the Board (with a copy to Indemnitee), unless the Indemnitee shall have elected in writing to have
such determination made by a majority vote or consent of a quorum consisting of Disinterested
Directors, in which case such determination shall be made by such quorum of Disinterested
Directors. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Independent Counsel” means nationally
recognized legal counsel designated for such purpose by the Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable to
a majority of the Continuing Directors (as defined in Section 5 hereof), even if less than a
quorum, which shall not be an attorney, or a firm having associated with it an attorney, who has
been retained by or who has performed services for (x) the Company, (y) any person who may be
indemnified in such action, suit, proceeding or claim, or (z) any holder of 5% or more of the
shares of any class of voting stock of the Company.

          (d) To the extent that the Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise,
including the dismissal of an action without prejudice, in defense of any action, suit, proceeding
or claim referred to in Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein, he shall be indemnified against Expenses actually incurred by him in connection therewith.

          (e) Expenses actually incurred by the Indemnitee in defending any action, suit, proceeding or
claim referred to in Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein, shall be paid by the Company as they are incurred

-3-

 

in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, proceeding or claim under the procedure set forth in Section 4(b) hereof.

          (f) For purposes of this Agreement, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee
benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on the Indemnitee with
respect to any employee benefit plan; references to “serving at the request of the Company” shall
include any service as a director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of the Company which
imposes duties on, or involves services by, the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit
plan, its participants or beneficiaries; references to the masculine shall include the feminine;
references to the singular shall include the plural and vice versa; and the word including is used
by way of illustration only and not by way of limitation.

          (g) No amendment to the Amended Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the “Articles”) or
the Regulations may deny, diminish or encumber the Indemnitee’s rights to indemnity pursuant to the
Regulations, the ORC or any other applicable law as applied to any act or failure to act occurring
in whole or in part prior to the date (the “Effective Date”) upon which the amendment was approved
by the shareholders of the Company. In the event that the Company shall purport to adopt any
amendment to its Articles or Regulations or take any other action the effect of which is to deny,
diminish or encumber the Indemnitee’s rights to indemnity pursuant to the Articles, the
Regulations, the ORC or any such other law, such amendment shall apply only to acts or failures to
act occurring entirely after the Effective Date thereof.

     3. ADDITIONAL INDEMNIFICATION

          (a) Pursuant to Section 1701.13(E)(6) of the ORC, without limiting any right which the
Indemnitee may have pursuant to Section 2 hereof or any other provision of this Agreement or the
Articles, the Regulations, the ORC, any policy of insurance or otherwise, but subject to any
limitation on the maximum permissible indemnity which may exist under applicable law at the time of
any request for indemnity hereunder and subject to the following provisions of this Section 3, the
Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against any amount which he is or becomes obligated to pay
relating to or arising out of any claim made against him because of any act, failure to act or
neglect or breach of duty, including any actual or alleged error, misstatement or misleading
statement, that he commits, suffers, permits or acquiesces in while acting in his capacity as a
director of the Company. The payments which the Company is obligated to make pursuant to this
Section 3 shall include any and all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement,
actually incurred by the Indemnitee in connection therewith including any appeal of or from any
judgment or decision; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated
under this Section 3 to make any payment in connection with any claim against the Indemnitee:

     (i) to the extent of any fine or similar governmental imposition which the
Company is prohibited by applicable law from paying (as determined by final order of
a court of competent jurisdiction); or

-4-

 

     (ii) to the extent based upon or attributable to the Indemnitee having actually
realized a personal profit to which he was not legally entitled, including profit
(A) from the purchase and sale by the Indemnitee of equity securities of the Company which are recoverable by the Company
pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and (B) arising
from transactions in publicly traded securities of the Company which were effected
by the Indemnitee in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 or Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.

          (b) A determination as to whether the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification under
this Section 3 shall be made in accordance with Section 4(a) hereof. Expenses incurred by the
Indemnitee in defending any claim to which this Section 3 applies shall be paid by the Company as
they are actually and reasonably incurred in advance of the final disposition of such claim under
the procedure set forth in Section 4(b) hereof.

     4. CERTAIN PROCEDURES RELATING TO INDEMNIFICATION

          (a) For purposes of pursuing his rights to indemnification under Section 3 hereof, the
Indemnitee shall (i) submit to the Board a sworn statement of request for indemnification
substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Indemnification
Statement”) averring that he is entitled to indemnification hereunder and (ii) present to the
Company evidence in reasonable detail of all amounts for which indemnification is requested.
Submission of an Indemnification Statement to the Board shall create a presumption that the
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, and the Company shall, within 30 calendar days
after submission of the Indemnification Statement, make the payments requested in the
Indemnification Statement to or for the benefit of the Indemnitee, unless (A) within such
30-calendar-day period by the vote or consent of a majority of the Continuing Directors, even if
less than a quorum, shall determine that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under
Section 3 hereof, (B) such vote shall be based upon clear and convincing evidence sufficient to
rebut the foregoing presumption, and (C) the Company shall notify the Indemnitee within such period
of such vote, which notice shall disclose with particularity the evidence upon which the vote is
based. The foregoing notice shall be sworn to by each Continuing Director who participated in the
vote and voted to deny indemnification. The provisions of this Section 4(a) are intended to be
procedural only and shall not affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification under Section 3
hereof so long as Indemnitee follows the prescribed procedure, and any determination by a majority
of the Continuing Directors that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification and any failure
to make the payments requested in the Indemnification Statement shall be subject to de novo
judicial review by any court of competent jurisdiction.

          (b) For purposes of obtaining payments of Expenses in advance of final disposition pursuant to
Section 2(e) hereof or the last sentence of Section 3(b) hereof, the Indemnitee shall submit to the
Company a sworn request for advancement

-5-

 

of Expenses substantially in the form of Exhibit 2 attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Undertaking”), averring that he has incurred or in good faith
expects to incur actual Expenses in defending an action, suit, proceeding or claim referred to in
Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof or any claim referred to in Section 3 hereof, or pursuant to Section 10 hereof. Unless determined in a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to
be prohibited from payment at the time of the Indemnitee’s act or omission at issue, or unless the
only liability asserted against the Indemnitee in the subject action, suit, proceeding or claim is
pursuant to ORC Section 1701.95, the Indemnitee shall be eligible to execute Part A of the
Undertaking by which he undertakes to: (i) (A) in the case of an Indemnitee that is a director of
the Company, repay such amount if it is proved by clear and convincing evidence in a court of
competent jurisdiction that the Indemnitee’s action or failure to act involved an act or omission
undertaken with deliberate intent to cause injury to the Company or undertaken with reckless
disregard for the best interests of the Company and (B) in the case of an Indemnitee that is an
officer of the Company but not a director of the Company, (1) repay such amount if (x) with respect
to any action, suit, proceeding or claim (other than an action by or in the right of the Company)
brought against the Indemnitee by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was an officer of
the Company for which the Indemnitee has received advancement of Expenses, it is determined that
the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Company or (y) with respect to any action, suit,
proceeding or claim brought against the Indemnitee by or in the right of the Company for which the
Indemnitee has received advancement of Expenses, the Indemnitee is adjudged to be liable for
negligence or for misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Company and the court has not
determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification and (ii) reasonably cooperate, at the
Company’s sole cost and expense, with the Company concerning the action, suit, proceeding or claim.
In all cases, the Indemnitee shall be eligible to execute Part B of the Undertaking by which he
undertakes to repay such amount if it ultimately is determined by a final order of a court of
competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under this
Agreement or otherwise. In the event that the Indemnitee is eligible to and does execute both Part
A and Part B of the Undertaking, the Expenses which are paid by the Company pursuant thereto shall
be required to be repaid by the Indemnitee only if he is required to do so under the terms of both
Part A and Part B of the Undertaking. Upon receipt of the Undertaking, the Company shall
thereafter promptly pay such Expenses of the Indemnitee as are noticed to the Company in reasonable
detail arising out of the matter described in the Undertaking. No security shall be required in
connection with any Undertaking.

     5. LIMITATION ON INDEMNITY

          Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (a) the Company shall not be
required hereby to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or claim
that was initiated by the Indemnitee prior to a Change in Control, unless the initiation by the
Indemnitee of such action, suit, proceeding or claim shall have been approved in advance by the
vote or consent of the Continuing

-6-

 

Directors and (b) the Company shall not be required hereby to
indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or claim that was initiated
by the Indemnitee following a Change in Control unless the initiation by the Indemnitee of such
action, suit, proceeding or claim was (i) to enforce any rights to indemnification arising hereunder but relates to any action, suit, proceeding or claim initiated by or on behalf of theCompany or any third party prior to a Change in Control, (ii) authorized by an agreement other
than this Agreement entered into prior to a Change in Control to which the Company is a party
whether heretofore or hereafter entered, or (iii) otherwise ordered by the court in which the suit
was brought. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Continuing Director” means a director whose
election or nomination for election to the Board was approved by a majority of the members of the
Board in office at the time of such election or nomination (either by a specific vote or by
approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for
director, without objection to such nomination); provided, however, that an individual shall not be
a Continuing Director if such individual’s election or appointment to the Board occurs as a result
of an actual or threatened election contest (as described in Rule 14a-12(c) of the Securities
Exchange Act) with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened
solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Board. For purposes
of this Agreement, the term “Change in Control” means the earliest to occur of the following:

     (a) any “person” or “group” of related persons (as such terms are used in Sections
13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act) is or becomes the beneficial owner (as
defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act), directly or indirectly,
of more than 50% of the total voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the Company
that is entitled generally to vote in the election of directors of the Company;

     (b) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Board are not Continuing
Directors;

     (c) the sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition, in one or a series of
related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and
14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act); or

     (d) the adoption by the stockholders of the Company of a plan or proposal for the
liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

     6. SUBROGATION; DUPLICATION OF PAYMENTS

          (a) In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the
extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers
required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the
execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce
such rights; provided,

-7-

 

however, that such subrogation shall be subject to the
Company executing an instrument in writing satisfactory to the Indemnitee in his discretion under
which the Company agrees to fully indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnitee from any
Expense or other liability that may arise therein or therefrom.

          (b) The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment in connection
with any claim made against Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has actually received payment
(under any insurance policy, the Regulations or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise payable
hereunder without any reservation of rights or other claim for potential disgorgement thereof, as
determined by the Indemnitee in good faith.

     7. DEFENSE OF CLAIMS

          The Company shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any threatened or pending
action, suit, proceeding or claim in respect of which the Indemnitee requests indemnification
hereunder or to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee;
provided that if the Indemnitee believes, after consultation with counsel selected by the
Indemnitee, that (a) the use of counsel chosen by the Company to represent the Indemnitee would
present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict, (b) the named parties in any such
action, suit, proceeding or claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Company and
the Indemnitee and the Indemnitee shall conclude that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to him that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company, (c) any
such representation by such counsel would be precluded under the applicable standards of
professional conduct then prevailing or (d) any such representation could be reasonably expected to
increase Indemnitee’s risk of liability, then the Indemnitee shall be entitled to retain separate
counsel (but not more than one law firm plus, if applicable, local counsel in respect of any
particular action, suit, proceeding or claim) at the Company’s expense. The Company shall not,
without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, effect any settlement of any threatened or
pending action, suit, proceeding or claim to which the Indemnitee is, or could have been, a party
unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money and includes a complete and
unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability on any claims that are the subject
matter of such action, suit, proceeding or claim. The Indemnitee shall not unreasonably withhold
its consent to any proposed settlement; provided that the Indemnitee may withhold consent
to any settlement that does not provide a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnitee.

     8. LIABILITY INSURANCE

          For the duration of the Indemnitee’s service as a director and/or officer of the Company, and
thereafter for so long as the Indemnitee shall be subject to any pending or possible action, suit,
proceeding or claim of the type described in Section 2 hereof or any pending or possible claim of
the type described in Section 3 hereof, the Company shall cause to be maintained in effect policies
of directors’ and officers’

-8-

 

liability insurance providing coverage for directors and/or officers of
the Company that is at least substantially comparable in scope and amount to that provided by the
Company’s current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. The Company shall
provide the Indemnitee with a copy of all directors’ and officers’ liability insurance
applications, binders, policies, declarations, endorsements and other related materials, and shall
provide the Indemnitee with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the same. Without limiting the generality or effect of the two immediately preceding
sentences, the Company shall not discontinue or significantly reduce the scope or amount of
coverage from one policy period to the next (a) without the prior approval thereof by the vote or
consent of a majority of the Continuing Directors, even if less than a quorum or (b) if at the time
that any such discontinuation or significant reduction in the scope or amount of coverage is
proposed there are no Continuing Directors, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee.
In all policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance obtained by the Company, the
Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide the Indemnitee the same
rights and benefits, subject to the same limitations, as are accorded to the Company’s directors
and officers most favorably insured by such policy.

     9. SHAREHOLDER RATIFICATION

          The Company may, at its option, propose at any future meeting of shareholders of the Company
that this Agreement be ratified by the shareholders of the Company; provided,
however, that the Indemnitee’s rights hereunder shall be fully enforceable in accordance
with the terms hereof whether or not such ratification is sought or obtained.

     10. FEES AND EXPENSES OF ENFORCEMENT

          It is the intent of the Company that the Indemnitee not be required to incur the expenses
associated with the enforcement of his rights under this Agreement by litigation or other legal
action because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended
to be extended to the Indemnitee hereunder. Accordingly, if it should appear to the Indemnitee
that the Company has failed to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or in the
event that the Company or any other person initiates any litigation or other legal action to
declare this Agreement void or unenforceable or to deny to, or to recover from, the Indemnitee the
benefits intended to be provided to the Indemnitee hereunder, the Company irrevocably authorizes
the Indemnitee from time to time to retain counsel of his choice, at the expense of the Company as
hereafter provided, to represent the Indemnitee in connection with the initiation and prosecution
by the Indemnitee of any litigation or other legal action to enforce his rights under this
Agreement or in connection with the defense by the Indemnitee of any litigation or other legal
action initiated by the Company or any other person to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable
or to deny to, or to recover from, the Indemnitee the benefits intended to be provided to the
Indemnitee hereunder. Regardless of the outcome thereof, the Company shall pay and be solely
responsible for any and all costs, charges, and expenses, including fees and expenses of attorneys

-9-

 

and others, reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any litigation or other legal
action referred to in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 10. In addition, the
Company shall pay and be solely responsible for the fees and expenses of any Independent Counsel.

     11. MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION

          In the event that the Company shall be a constituent corporation in a consolidation, merger,
or other reorganization, the Company, if it shall not be the surviving, resulting, or acquiring
corporation therein, shall require as a condition thereto that the surviving, resulting, or
acquiring corporation agree to assume all of the obligations of the Company hereunder and to
indemnify the Indemnitee to the full extent provided herein. Whether or not the Company is the
resulting, surviving, or acquiring corporation in any such transaction, the Indemnitee shall stand
in the same position under this Agreement with respect to the resulting, surviving, or acquiring
corporation as he would have with respect to the Company if its separate existence had continued.

     12. SEVERABILITY

          (a) The rights to indemnification provided by this Agreement shall not be exclusive of any
other rights of indemnification to which the Indemnitee may be entitled under the Articles, the
Regulations, the ORC or any other statute, any insurance policy, other agreement or vote of
shareholders or directors or otherwise, as to any actions or failures to act by the Indemnitee, and
shall continue after he has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or
other entity for which his service gives rise to a right hereunder, and shall inure to the benefit
of his heirs, executors and administrators. For the avoidance of doubt, limitations on
indemnification under any such other agreement or right will not affect the parties’ relative
rights hereunder.

          (b) Except as provided in Section 12(a) hereof, the rights to indemnification provided by this
Agreement are personal to Indemnitee and are non-transferable by Indemnitee, and no party other
than the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement.

          (c) If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision hereof to any
person or circumstances is held invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal, the remainder of this
Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be
affected, and the provision so held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal shall be
reformed to the extent (and only to the extent) necessary to make it enforceable, valid and legal.

     13. SECURITY

          To ensure that the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement can be enforced by
Indemnitee, the Company may, at its option, establish a trust pursuant

-10-

 

to which the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement and other similar agreements can be funded.

     14. NOTICES

          All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be personally
delivered or sent by recognized overnight courier service (a) if to the Company, to the then-current principal executive offices of the Company (Attention: General
Counsel) or (b) if to the Indemnitee, to the last known address of Indemnitee as reflected in the
Company’s records. Either party may change its address for the delivery of notices or other
communications hereunder by providing notice to the other party as provided in this Section 14.
All notices shall be effective upon actual delivery by the methods specified in this Section 14.

     15. GOVERNING LAW

          This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Ohio, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.

     16. MODIFICATION

          This Agreement and the rights and duties of the Indemnitee and the Company hereunder may be
modified only by an instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto.

     17. COUNTERPARTS

     This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts
will for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all counterparts together will constitute
but one and the same instrument.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the date first
above written.

     The parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Shares and the Warrants shall be
[                                        ]
 Dollars ($                                        ) (the
“Purchase Price”). The designation, rights, preferences and other terms and provisions of the
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock are set forth in the Certificate of Designation of the
Relative Rights and Preferences of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock attached hereto as
Exhibit C (the “Certificate of Designation”). The Company and the Purchasers are executing
and delivering this Agreement in accordance with and in reliance upon the exemption from securities

amended (the “Securities Act”) or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

          Section 1.2 The Conversion Shares. The Company has authorized and has reserved and
covenants to continue to reserve, free of preemptive rights and other similar contractual rights of
stockholders, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least one hundred twenty percent
(120%) of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect
the conversion of all of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants then outstanding, in
each case, without regard for any limitations on conversion or exercise. Any shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants (and such
shares when issued) are herein referred to as the “Conversion Shares” and the “Warrant Shares”,
respectively. The Preferred Shares, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares are sometimes
collectively referred to as the “Shares”.

 

 

          Section 1.3 Purchase Price and Closing. The Company agrees to issue and sell to the
Purchasers and, in consideration of and in express reliance upon the representations, warranties,
covenants, terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchasers, severally but not jointly, agree

Representations and Warranties

          Section 2.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby makes
the following representations and warranties to the Purchasers, except as set forth in the
Company’s disclosure schedule delivered with this Agreement as follows:

          (a) Organization, Good Standing and Power. The Company is a corporation duly
incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has
the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct
its business as it is now being conducted. The Company does not have any subsidiaries except as
set forth in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 2005 and the Company’s Form
10KSB for the transition period from October 1, 2005 to December 31,

2

 

2005, including the accompanying financial statements (collectively, the “Form 10-KSB”), or in
the Company’s Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2005, March 31, 2005 and December
31, 2004 (collectively, the “Form 10-QSB”), or on Schedule 2.1(a) hereto. The Company and
each such subsidiary is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good
standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by
it makes such qualification necessary except for any jurisdiction(s) (alone or in the aggregate) in
which the failure to be so qualified will not have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in Section
2.1(c) hereof) on the Company’s financial condition.

          (b) Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement attached
hereto as Exhibit D (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), the Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions (as defined in Section 3.14), the Certificate of Designation, and the Warrants
(collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) and to issue and sell the Shares and the Warrants in
accordance with the terms hereof. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction
Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and no further
consent or authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is required.
This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company. The other Transaction
Documents will have been duly executed and delivered by the Company at the Closing. Each of the
Transaction Documents constitutes, or shall constitute when executed and delivered, a valid and
binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting
generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of
general application.

          (c) Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company and the shares
thereof currently issued and outstanding as of the date hereof are set forth on Schedule
2.1(c) hereto. All of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock and Series D
Convertible Preferred Stock and other shares of preferred stock have been duly and validly
authorized. Except as set forth in this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and as set
forth on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto, no shares of Common Stock are entitled to preemptive
rights or registration rights and there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to
subscribe to, call or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights
convertible into, any shares of capital stock of the Company. Furthermore, except as set forth in
this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement or on Schedule 2.1(c), there are no
contracts, commitments, understandings, or arrangements by which the Company is or may become bound
to issue additional shares of the capital stock of the Company or options, securities or rights
convertible into shares of capital stock of the Company. Except for customary transfer
restrictions contained in agreements entered into by the Company in order to sell restricted
securities or as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto, the Company is not a party to any
agreement granting registration or anti-dilution rights to any person with respect to any of its
equity or debt securities. The Company is not a party to, and it has no knowledge of, any
agreement restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital stock of the Company.
Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto, the offer and sale of all capital stock,
convertible securities, rights,

3

 

warrants, or options of the Company issued prior to the Closing complied with all applicable
Federal and state securities laws, and no stockholder has a right of rescission or claim for
damages with respect thereto which would have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below) on the
Company’s financial condition or operating results. The Company has furnished or made available to
the Purchasers true and correct copies of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation as in effect
on the date hereof (the “Certificate”), and the Company’s Bylaws as in effect on the date hereof
(the “Bylaws”). For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any material
adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, prospects, or financial condition of the
Company and its subsidiaries and/or any condition, circumstance, or situation that would prohibit
or otherwise materially interfere with the ability of the Company to perform any of its obligations
under this Agreement in any material respect.

          (d) Issuance of Shares. The Preferred Shares and the Warrants to be issued at the
Closing have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and the Preferred Shares, when
paid for or issued in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be validly issued and outstanding,
fully paid and nonassessable and entitled to the rights and preferences set forth in the
Certificate of Designation. When the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares are issued in
accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation and the Warrants, respectively, such
shares will be duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and validly issued and
outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and the holders shall be entitled to all rights accorded
to a holder of Common Stock.

          (e) No Conflicts. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(e) hereto, the
execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company, the performance by
the Company of its obligations under the Certificate of Designation and the consummation by the
Company of the transactions contemplated herein and therein do not and will not (i) violate any
provision of the Company’s Certificate or Bylaws, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or
an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to
others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement,
mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation
to which the Company is a party or by which it or its properties or assets are bound, (iii) create
or impose a lien, mortgage, security interest, charge or encumbrance of any nature on any property
of the Company under any agreement or any commitment to which the Company is a party or by which
the Company is bound or by which any of its respective properties or assets are bound, or (iv)
result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order,
judgment or decree (including Federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries are bound or affected, except, in all cases other than violations pursuant to clauses
(i) and (iv) above, for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations,
cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect. The business of the Company and its subsidiaries is not being conducted in
violation of any laws, ordinances or regulations of any governmental entity, except for possible
violations which singularly or in the aggregate do not and will not have a Material Adverse Effect.
The Company is not required under Federal, state or local law, rule or regulation to obtain any
consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or
governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under

4

 

the Transaction Documents, or issue and sell the Preferred Shares, the Warrants, the
Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof (other than
any filings which may be required to be made by the Company with the Commission or state securities
administrators subsequent to the Closing, any registration statement which may be filed pursuant
hereto, and the Certificate of Designation); provided that, for purposes of the
representation made in this sentence, the Company is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the
relevant representations and agreements of the Purchasers herein.

          (f) Commission Documents, Financial Statements. The Common Stock is registered
pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), and, since December 31, 2005, the Company has timely filed all reports, schedules,
forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the Commission pursuant to
the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, including material filed pursuant to Section 13(a)
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (all of the foregoing including filings incorporated by reference
therein being referred to herein as the “Commission Documents”). The Company has delivered or made
available to each of the Purchasers true and complete copies of the Commission Documents filed with
the Commission since December 31, 2005. The Company has not provided to the Purchasers any
material non-public information or other information which, according to applicable law, rule or
regulation, was required to have been disclosed publicly by the Company but which has not been so
disclosed, other than with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. At the
times of their respective filings, the Form 10-KSB and the Form 10-QSB complied in all material
respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
promulgated thereunder and other federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to
such documents, and, as of their respective dates, none of the Form 10-KSB and the Form 10-QSB
contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted 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, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company
included in the Commission Documents 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 United States 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 or summary statements), and fairly
present in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of
the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject,
in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).

          (g) Subsidiaries. Schedule 2.1(g) hereto sets forth each subsidiary of the
Company, showing the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and showing the percentage
of each person’s ownership. For the purposes of this Agreement, “subsidiary” shall mean any
corporation or other entity of which at least a majority of the securities or other ownership
interest having ordinary voting power (absolutely or contingently) for the election of directors or
other persons performing similar functions are at the time owned directly or indirectly by the
Company and/or any of its other subsidiaries. All of the outstanding shares of

5

 

capital stock of each subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully
paid and nonassessable. There are no outstanding preemptive, conversion or other rights, options,
warrants or agreements granted or issued by or binding upon any subsidiary for the purchase or
acquisition of any shares of capital stock of any subsidiary or any other securities convertible
into, exchangeable for or evidencing the rights to subscribe for any shares of such capital stock.
Neither the Company nor any subsidiary is subject to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to
repurchase or otherwise acquire or retire any shares of the capital stock of any subsidiary or any
convertible securities, rights, warrants or options of the type described in the preceding
sentence. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary is party to, nor has any knowledge of, any
agreement restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital stock of any subsidiary.

          (h) No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2005, the Company has not
experienced or suffered any Material Adverse Effect, except as disclosed on Schedule 2.1(h)
hereto.

          (i) No Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(i)
hereto, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has any liabilities, obligations, claims or
losses (whether liquidated or unliquidated, secured or unsecured, absolute, accrued, contingent or
otherwise) other than those incurred in the ordinary course of the Company’s or its subsidiaries
respective businesses since December 31, 2005 and which, individually or in the aggregate, do not
or would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or its subsidiaries.

          (j) No Undisclosed Events or Circumstances. Except as set forth on Schedule
2.1(j) hereto, no event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or
its subsidiaries or their respective businesses, properties, prospects, operations or financial
condition, which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or
announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed.

          (k) Indebtedness. The Form 10-KSB, Form 10-QSB or Schedule 2.1(k) hereto sets

collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (c) the present value of
any lease payments in excess of $25,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance
with GAAP. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(k), neither the Company nor any subsidiary
is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.

          (l) Title to Assets. Each of the Company and the subsidiaries has good and marketable
title to all of its real and personal property reflected in the Form 10-KSB, free and clear of any
mortgages, pledges, charges, liens, security interests or other encumbrances, except for those
disclosed in the Form 10-KSB, Form 10-QSB or on Schedule 2.1(l) hereto or such that,
individually or in the aggregate, do not cause a Material Adverse Effect on the Company’s

6

 

financial condition or operating results. All said leases of the Company and each of its
subsidiaries are valid and subsisting and in full force and effect.

          (m) Actions Pending. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation, arbitration,
alternate dispute resolution proceeding or any other proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company, threatened against the Company or any subsidiary which questions the validity of this

          (n) Compliance with Law. The business of the Company and the subsidiaries has been
and is presently being conducted in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local
governmental laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, except as set forth in the Form 10-KSB, Form

The Company and each of its subsidiaries have all franchises, permits, licenses, consents and other
governmental or regulatory authorizations and approvals necessary for the conduct of its business
as now being conducted by it unless the failure to possess such franchises, permits, licenses,
consents and other governmental or regulatory authorizations and approvals, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (o) Taxes. Except as set forth in the Form 10-KSB or in the Form 10-QSB, the Company
and each of the subsidiaries has accurately prepared and filed all federal, state and other tax
returns required by law to be filed by it, has paid or made provisions for the payment of all taxes
shown to be due and all additional assessments, and adequate provisions have been and are reflected
in the financial statements of the Company and the subsidiaries for all current taxes and other
charges to which the Company or any subsidiary is subject and which are not currently due and
payable. None of the federal income tax returns of the Company or any subsidiary have been audited
by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company has no knowledge of any additional assessments,
adjustments or contingent tax liability (whether federal or state) of any nature whatsoever,
whether pending or threatened against the Company or any subsidiary for any period, nor of any
basis for any such assessment, adjustment or contingency.

          (p) Certain Fees. Except as set forth in this Agreement or on Schedule 2.1(p)
hereto, no brokers, finders or financial advisory fees or commissions will be payable by the
Company or any subsidiary or any Purchaser with respect to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.

          (q) Disclosure. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, neither this

7

 

Agreement or the Schedules hereto nor any other documents, certificates or instruments
furnished to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the Company or any subsidiary in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made herein or therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made herein or therein, not misleading.

          (r) Operation of Business. The Company and each of the subsidiaries owns or possesses
all patents, trademarks, domain names (whether or not registered) and any patentable improvements
or copyrightable derivative works thereof, websites and intellectual property rights relating
thereto, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and authorizations as set forth in the
Form 10-KSB, Form 10-QSB and on Schedule 2.1(r) hereto, and all rights with respect to the
foregoing, which are necessary for the conduct of its business as now conducted without any
conflict with the rights of others.

          (s) Environmental Compliance. The Company and each of its subsidiaries have obtained
all material approvals, authorization, certificates, consents, licenses, orders and permits or
other similar authorizations of all governmental authorities, or from any other person, that are
required under any Environmental Laws. The Form 10-KSB or Form 10-QSB describes all material
permits, licenses and other authorizations issued under any Environmental Laws to the Company or
its subsidiaries. “Environmental Laws” shall mean all applicable laws relating to the protection
of the environment including, without limitation, all requirements pertaining to reporting,
licensing, permitting, controlling, investigating or remediating emissions, discharges, releases or
threatened releases of hazardous substances, chemical substances, pollutants, contaminants or toxic
substances, materials or wastes, whether solid, liquid or gaseous in nature, into the air, surface
water, groundwater or land, or relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use,
treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of hazardous substances, chemical substances,
pollutants, contaminants or toxic substances, material or wastes, whether solid, liquid or gaseous
in nature. The Company has all necessary governmental approvals required under all Environmental
Laws and used in its business or in the business of any of its subsidiaries. The Company and each
of its subsidiaries are also in compliance with all other limitations, restrictions, conditions,
standards, requirements, schedules and timetables required or imposed under all Environmental Laws.
Except for such instances as would not individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse
Effect, there are no past or present events, conditions, circumstances, incidents, actions or
omissions relating to or in any way affecting the Company or its subsidiaries that violate or may
violate any Environmental Law after the Closing Date or that may give rise to any environmental
liability, or otherwise form the basis of any claim, action, demand, suit, proceeding, hearing,
study or investigation (i) under any Environmental Law, or (ii) based on or related to the
manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage (including without limitation
underground storage tanks), disposal, transport or handling, or the emission, discharge, release or
threatened release of any hazardous substance.

          (t) Books and Record Internal Accounting Controls. The books and records of the
Company and its subsidiaries accurately reflect in all material respects the information relating
to the business of the Company and the subsidiaries, the location and collection of their assets,
and the nature of all transactions giving rise to the obligations or accounts receivable of the
Company or any subsidiary. The Company and each of its subsidiaries maintain a system of

8

 

internal accounting controls sufficient, in the judgment of the Company, to provide reasonable
assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific
authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is
permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the
recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and
appropriate actions is taken with respect to any differences.

          (u) Material Agreements. Except as set forth in the Form 10-KSB, Form 10-QSB or on
Schedule 2.1(u) hereto, neither the Company nor any subsidiary is a party to any written or
oral contract, instrument, agreement, commitment, obligation, plan or arrangement, a copy of which
would be required to be filed with the Commission as an exhibit to a registration statement on Form
S-3 or applicable form (collectively, “Material Agreements”) if the Company or any subsidiary were
registering securities under the Securities Act. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(u) or
in the Commission Documents, the Company and each of its subsidiaries has in all material respects
performed all the obligations required to be performed by them to date under the foregoing
agreements, have received no notice of default and, to the best of the Company’s knowledge are not
in default under any Material Agreement now in effect, the result of which could cause a Material
Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(u) or in the Commission Documents, no
written or oral contract, instrument, agreement, commitment, obligation, plan or arrangement of the
Company or of any subsidiary limits or shall limit the payment of dividends on the Company’s
Preferred Shares, other Preferred Stock, if any, or its Common Stock.

          (v) Transactions with Affiliates. Except as set forth in the Form 10-KSB, Form 10-QSB
or on Schedule 2.1(v) hereto, there are no loans, leases, agreements, contracts, royalty
agreements, management contracts or arrangements or other continuing transactions between (a) the
Company or any subsidiary on the one hand, and (b) on the other hand, any officer, employee,
consultant or director of the Company, or any of its subsidiaries, or any person owning any capital
stock of the Company or any subsidiary or any member of the immediate family of such officer,
employee, consultant, director or stockholder or any corporation or other entity controlled by such
officer, employee, consultant, director or stockholder, or a member of the immediate family of such
officer, employee, consultant, director or stockholder.

          (w) Securities Act of 1933. Based in material part upon the representations herein of
the Purchasers, the Company has complied and will comply with all applicable federal and state
securities laws in connection with the offer, issuance and sale of the Shares and the Warrants
hereunder. Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf, directly or indirectly, has or
will sell, offer to sell or solicit offers to buy any of the Shares, the Warrants or similar
securities to, or solicit offers with respect thereto from, or enter into any preliminary
conversations or negotiations relating thereto with, any person, or has taken or will take any
action so as to bring the issuance and sale of any of the Shares and the Warrants under the
registration provisions of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and neither the
Company nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any
form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under the

9

 

Securities Act) in connection with the offer or sale of any of the Shares and the Warrants.

          (x) Governmental Approvals. Except as set forth in the Form 10-KSB or Form 10-QSB,
and except for the filing of any notice prior or subsequent to the Closing Date that may be
required under applicable state and/or Federal securities laws (which if required, shall be filed
on a timely basis), including the filing of a Form D and a registration statement or statements
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, and the filing of the Certificate of Designation
with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware, no authorization, consent, approval,

for, or in connection with, the execution or delivery of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants, or
for the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

          (y) Employees. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary has any collective bargaining
arrangements or agreements covering any of its employees, except as set forth in the Form 10-KSB,
Form 10-QSB or on Schedule 2.1(y) hereto. Except as set forth in the Form 10-KSB, Form
10-QSB or on Schedule 2.1(y) hereto, neither the Company nor any subsidiary has any
employment contract, agreement regarding proprietary information, non-competition agreement,
non-solicitation agreement, confidentiality agreement, or any other similar contract or restrictive
covenant, relating to the right of any officer, employee or consultant to be employed or engaged by
the Company or such subsidiary. Since December 31, 2005, no officer, consultant or key employee of
the Company or any subsidiary whose termination, either individually or in the aggregate, could
have a Material Adverse Effect, has terminated or, to the knowledge of the Company, has any present
intention of terminating his or her employment or engagement with the Company or any subsidiary.

          (z) Absence of Certain Developments. Except as provided on Schedule 2.1(z)
hereto, since December 31, 2005, neither the Company nor any subsidiary has:

               (i) issued any stock, bonds or other corporate securities or any rights, options or warrants
with respect thereto;

               (ii) borrowed any amount or incurred or become subject to any liabilities (absolute or
contingent) except current liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business which are
comparable in nature and amount to the current liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of
business during the comparable portion of its prior fiscal year, as adjusted to reflect the current
nature and volume of the Company’s or such subsidiary’s business;

               (iii) discharged or satisfied any lien or encumbrance or paid any obligation or liability
(absolute or contingent), other than current liabilities paid in the ordinary course of business;

10

 

               (v) sold, assigned or transferred any other tangible assets, or canceled any debts or claims,
except in the ordinary course of business;

               (vi) sold, assigned or transferred any patent rights, trademarks, trade names, copyrights,

business;

               (xi) made charitable contributions or pledges in excess of $25,000;

               (xv) entered into an agreement, written or otherwise, to take any of the foregoing actions.

          (aa) Public Utility Holding Company Act and Investment Company Act Status. The
Company is not a “holding company” or a “public utility company” as such terms are defined in the
Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended. The Company is not, and as a result of and
immediately upon the Closing will not be, an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an
“investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

          (bb) ERISA. No liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation has been
incurred with respect to any Plan by the Company or any of its subsidiaries which is or would be
materially adverse to the Company and its subsidiaries. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Preferred Shares will not involve any transaction

11

 

which is subject to the prohibitions of Section 406 of ERISA or in connection with which a tax
could be imposed pursuant to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
provided that, if any of the Purchasers, or any person or entity that owns a beneficial interest in
any of the Purchasers, is an “employee pension benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(2) of
ERISA) with respect to which the Company is a “party in interest” (within the meaning of Section
3(14) of ERISA), the requirements of Sections 407(d)(5) and 408(e) of ERISA, if applicable, are
met. As used in this Section 2.1(bb), the term “Plan” shall mean an “employee pension benefit
plan” (as defined in Section 3 of ERISA) which is or has been established or maintained, or to
which contributions are or have been made, by the Company or any subsidiary or by any trade or
business, whether or not incorporated, which, together with the Company or any subsidiary, is under
common control, as described in Section 414(b) or (c) of the Code.

          (cc) Dilutive Effect. The Company understands and acknowledges that the number of
Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and the Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants will increase in certain circumstances. The Company further
acknowledges that its obligation to issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Shares
in accordance with this Agreement and the Certificate of Designation and its obligations to issue
the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with this Agreement and the
Warrants, is, in each case, absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such
issuance may have on the ownership interest of other stockholders of the Company.

          (dd) Independent Nature of Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that the obligations
of each Purchaser under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of
any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the
obligations of any other Purchaser under the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that
the decision of each Purchaser to purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by
such Purchaser independently of any other purchase and independently of any information, materials,
statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities,
results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or of its
Subsidiaries which may have made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any
other Purchaser, and no Purchaser or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any
Purchaser (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials,
statements or opinions. The Company acknowledges that nothing contained herein, or in any
Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be
deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other
kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as
a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents. The Company acknowledges that 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. The Company acknowledges that
for reasons of administrative convenience only, the Transaction Documents have been prepared by
counsel for the placement agent and such counsel does not represent the Purchasers and the
Purchasers have retained their own individual counsel with respect to the transactions

12

 

contemplated hereby. The Company acknowledges that it 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. The Company acknowledges that such procedure
with respect to the Transaction Documents in no way creates a presumption that the Purchasers are
in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to the Transaction Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

          (ee) No Integrated Offering. 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 Shares pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the
Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company from selling the Shares
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 Shares to be integrated with other offerings. The
Company does not have any registration statement pending before the Commission or currently under
the Commission’s review and since October 1, 2005, the Company has not offered or sold any of its
equity securities or debt securities convertible into shares of Common Stock.

          (ff) Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(ff) hereto, the
Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the
“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, that are effective,
and intends to comply with other applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, upon the effectiveness of such provisions.

          (gg) Exchange of Shares and Notes. Upon the completion of the exchanges contemplated
by Sections 4.1 (s) and (t) hereto, no shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock shall remain issued or outstanding. Upon the completion of the
exchange contemplated by Section 4.1(r) and the transactions contemplated hereby, except as set
forth on Schedule 2.1 (gg), all of the promissory notes payable by the Company shall be
delivered for cancellation and no such promissory notes shall remain outstanding.

          Section 2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each of the Purchasers
hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Company with respect solely to
itself and not with respect to any other Purchaser:

          (a) Organization and Standing of the Purchasers. If the Purchaser is an entity, such
Purchaser is a corporation or partnership duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization.

          (b) Authorization and Power. Each Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to
enter into and perform this Agreement and to purchase the Preferred Shares and Warrants being sold
to it hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement by such Purchaser and the consummation by it of the

13

 

transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate or partnership action, and no further consent or authorization of such Purchaser or its
Board of Directors, stockholders, or partners, as the case may be, is required. Each of this
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
such Purchaser and constitutes, or shall constitute when executed and delivered, a valid and
binding obligation of the Purchaser enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with the terms
thereof.

          (c) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement and the consummation by such Purchaser of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby or relating hereto do not and will not (i) result in a violation of
such Purchaser’s charter documents or bylaws or other organizational documents or (ii) conflict
with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become
a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of any agreement, indenture or instrument or obligation to which such Purchaser is a
party or by which its properties or assets are bound, or result in a violation of any law, rule, or
regulation, or any order, judgment or decree of any court or governmental agency applicable to such
Purchaser or its properties (except for such conflicts, defaults and violations as would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on such Purchaser). Such
Purchaser is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or
registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform
any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement or to purchase the
Preferred Shares or acquire the Warrants in accordance with the terms hereof, provided that for
purposes of the representation made in this sentence, such Purchaser is assuming and relying upon
the accuracy of the relevant representations and agreements of the Company herein.

          (d) Acquisition for Investment. Each Purchaser is acquiring the Preferred Shares and
the Warrants solely for its own account for the purpose of investment and not with a view to or for
sale in connection with distribution. Each Purchaser does not have a present intention to sell the
Preferred Shares or the Warrants, nor a present arrangement (whether or not legally binding) or
intention to effect any distribution of the Preferred Shares or the Warrants to or through any
person or entity; provided, however, that by making the representations herein and
subject to Section 2.2(f) below, such Purchaser does not agree to hold the Shares or the Warrants
for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Shares or the
Warrants at any time in accordance with Federal and state securities laws applicable to such
disposition. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it is able to bear the financial risks associated
with an investment in the Preferred Shares and the Warrants and that it has been given full access
to such records of the Company and the subsidiaries and to the officers of the Company and the
subsidiaries and received such information as it has deemed necessary or appropriate to conduct its
due diligence investigation and has sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in companies
similar to the Company in terms of the Company’s stage of development so as to be able to evaluate
the risks and merits of its investment in the Company.

          (e) Status of Purchasers. Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser is not required to

14

 

be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act and such Purchaser is
not a broker-dealer.

          (f) Opportunities for Additional Information. Each Purchaser acknowledges that such
Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from, or obtain
additional information from, the executive officers of the Company concerning the financial and
other affairs of the Company, and to the extent deemed necessary in light of such Purchaser’s
personal knowledge of the Company’s affairs, such Purchaser has asked such questions and received
answers to the full satisfaction of such Purchaser, and such Purchaser desires to invest in the
Company.

          (g) No General Solicitation. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Preferred Shares
and the Warrants were not offered to such Purchaser by means of any advertisement, article, notice
or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media, or broadcast over
television or radio, or any seminar or meeting to which such Purchaser was invited by any of the
foregoing means of communications.

          (h) Rule 144. Such Purchaser understands that the Shares must be held indefinitely
unless such Shares are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is
available. Such Purchaser acknowledges that such Purchaser is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules
and regulations of the Commission, as amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act (“Rule
144”), and that such person has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain
circumstances. Such Purchaser understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is not available, such
Purchaser will be unable to sell any Shares without either registration under the Securities Act or
the existence of another exemption from such registration requirement.

          (i) General. Such Purchaser understands that the Shares are being offered and sold in
reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirement of Federal and state
securities laws and the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations,
warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in
order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of such Purchaser to
acquire the Shares.

          (j) Independent Investment. Except as may be disclosed in any filings with the
Commission by the Purchasers under Section 13 and/or Section 16 of the Exchange Act, no Purchaser
has agreed to act with any other Purchaser for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or
disposing of the Shares purchased hereunder for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act,
and each Purchaser is acting independently with respect to its investment in the Shares.

15

Registration Rights Agreement, and will not take any action or file any document (whether or not
permitted by the Securities Act or the rules promulgated thereunder) to terminate or suspend such
registration or to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act
or Securities Act, except as permitted herein. The Company will take all action necessary to
continue the listing or trading of its Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, The Nasdaq Capital
Market or other exchange or market on which the Common Stock is trading.

          Section 3.3 Inspection Rights. The Company shall permit, during normal business hours
and upon reasonable request and reasonable notice, each Purchaser or any employees, agents or
representatives thereof, so long as such Purchaser shall be obligated hereunder to purchase the
Preferred Shares or shall beneficially own any Preferred Shares, or shall own Conversion Shares
which, in the aggregate, represent more than 2% of the total combined voting power of all voting
securities then outstanding, for purposes reasonably related to such Purchaser’s interests as a
stockholder to examine and make reasonable copies of and extracts from the records and books of
account of, and visit and inspect the properties, assets, operations and business of the Company
and any subsidiary, and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company and any
subsidiary with any of its officers, consultants, directors, and key employees.

          Section 3.4 Compliance with Laws. The Company shall comply, and cause each subsidiary
to comply, with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, noncompliance with which could
have a Material Adverse Effect.

          Section 3.5 Keeping of Records and Books of Account. The Company shall keep and cause
each subsidiary to keep adequate records and books of account, in which complete entries will be
made in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, reflecting all

16

 

financial transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries, and in which, for each fiscal
year, all proper reserves for depreciation, depletion, obsolescence, amortization, taxes, bad debts
and other purposes in connection with its business shall be made.

          Section 3.6 Reporting Requirements. If the Commission ceases making periodic reports
filed under the Exchange Act available via the Internet, then at a Purchaser’s request the Company
shall furnish the following to such Purchaser so long as such Purchaser shall be obligated
hereunder to purchase the Preferred Shares or shall beneficially own any Preferred Shares, or shall
own Conversion Shares which, in the aggregate, represent more than 2% of the total combined voting
power of all voting securities then outstanding:

          (a) Quarterly Reports filed with the Commission on Form 10-QSB as soon as practical after the
document is filed with the Commission, and in any event within five (5) days after the document is
filed with the Commission;

          (b) Annual Reports filed with the Commission on Form 10-KSB as soon as practical after the
document is filed with the Commission, and in any event within five (5) days after the document is
filed with the Commission; and

          (c) Copies of all notices and information, including without limitation notices and proxy
statements in connection with any meetings, that are provided to holders of shares of Common Stock,
contemporaneously with the delivery of such notices or information to such holders of Common Stock.

          Section 3.7 Amendments. The Company shall not amend or waive any provision of the
Certificate or Bylaws of the Company in any way that would adversely affect the liquidation
preferences, dividends rights, conversion rights, voting rights or redemption rights of the
Preferred Shares; provided, however, that any creation and issuance of another
series of Junior Stock (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) shall not be deemed to
materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences or privileges.

          Section 3.8 Other Agreements. The Company shall not enter into any agreement in which
the terms of such agreement would restrict or impair the right or ability to perform of the Company
or any subsidiary under any Transaction Document.

          Section 3.9 Distributions. So long as any Preferred Shares or Warrants remain
outstanding, the Company agrees that it shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or make any
distributions to any holder(s) of Common Stock or (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire for value,
directly or indirectly, any Common Stock or other equity security of the Company.

          Section 3.10 Status of Dividends. The Company covenants and agrees that (i) no
Federal income tax return or claim for refund of Federal income tax or other submission to the
Internal Revenue Service will adversely affect the Preferred Shares, any other series of its
Preferred Stock, or the Common Stock, and no deduction shall operate to jeopardize the availability
to Purchasers of the dividends received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code or any
successor provision, (ii) in no report to shareholders or to any governmental

17

 

body having jurisdiction over the Company or otherwise will it treat the Preferred Shares
other than as equity capital or the dividends paid thereon other than as dividends paid on equity
capital unless required to do so by a governmental body having jurisdiction over the accounts of
the Company or by a change in generally accepted accounting principles required as a result of
action by an authoritative accounting standards setting body, and (iii) it will take no action
which would result in the dividends paid by the Company on the Preferred Shares out of the
Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits being ineligible for the dividends received
deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code. The preceding sentence shall not be deemed to
prevent the Company from designating the Preferred Stock as “Convertible Preferred Stock” in its
annual and quarterly financial statements in accordance with its prior practice concerning other
series of preferred stock of the Company. In the event that the Purchasers have reasonable cause
to believe that dividends paid by the Company on the Preferred Shares out of the Company’s current
or accumulated earnings and profits will not be treated as eligible for the dividends received
deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code, or any successor provision, the Company will,
at the reasonable request of the Purchasers of 51% of the outstanding Preferred Shares, join with
the Purchasers in the submission to the Service of a request for a ruling that dividends paid on
the Shares will be so eligible for Federal income tax purposes, at the Purchasers expense. In
addition, the Company will reasonably cooperate with the Purchasers (at Purchasers’ expense) in any
litigation, appeal or other proceeding challenging or contesting any ruling, technical advice,
finding or determination that earnings and profits are not eligible for the dividends received
deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code, or any successor provision to the extent that
the position to be taken in any such litigation, appeal, or other proceeding is not contrary to any
provision of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to
preclude the Company from claiming a deduction with respect to such dividends if (i) the Code shall
hereafter be amended, or final Treasury regulations thereunder are issued or modified, to provide
that dividends on the Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares should not be treated as dividends for
Federal income tax purposes or that a deduction with respect to all or a portion of the dividends
on the Shares is allowable for Federal income tax purposes, or (ii) in the absence of such an
amendment, issuance or modification and after a submission of a request for ruling or technical
advice, the Service shall issue a published ruling that dividends on the shares should not be
treated as dividends for Federal income tax purposes. If the Service specifically determines that
the Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares constitute debt, the Company may file protective claims
for refund.

          Section 3.11 Intentionally Omitted.

          Section 3.12 Future Financings; Right of First Offer and Refusal. (a) For purposes of
this Agreement, a “Subsequent Financing” shall be defined as any subsequent offer or sale to, or
exchange with (or other type of distribution to), any third party of Common Stock or any securities
convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock, including debt securities so
convertible, in a private transaction (collectively, the “Financing Securities”) other than a
Permitted Financing. For purposes of this Agreement, “Permitted Financing” shall mean any
transaction involving (i) the Company’s issuance of any Financing Securities (other than for cash)
in connection with an acquisition of the Company, (ii) the Company’s issuance of Financing
Securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so
long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and the

18

 

Company has received the prior written consent of the Purchasers, (iii) the Company’s issuance
of Financing Securities in connection with bona fide firm underwritten public offerings of its
securities, (iv) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuance or grants of options to
purchase Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans and employee stock purchase
plans outstanding on the date hereof and which have been approved by the Board of Directors of the
Company, (v) as a result of the exercise of options or warrants or conversion of convertible notes
or preferred stock which are granted or issued as of the date of this Agreement or issued pursuant
to this Agreement, (vi) any Warrants issued to the Purchasers and any warrants issued to the
placement agent for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in connection with other
financial services rendered to the Company, or (vii) the payment of any dividend on the Preferred
Shares.

          (b) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is twelve
(12) months following the Closing Date, the Company covenants and agrees to promptly notify (in no
event later than five (5) days after making or receiving an applicable offer) in writing (a “Rights
Notice”) each Purchaser of the terms and conditions of any proposed Subsequent Financing. The
Rights Notice shall describe, in reasonable detail, the proposed Subsequent Financing, the proposed
closing date of the Subsequent Financing, which shall be within thirty (30) calendar days from the
date of the Rights Notice, including, without limitation, all of the terms and conditions thereof
and proposed definitive documentation to be entered into in connection therewith. The Rights
Notice shall provide each Purchaser an option (the “Rights Option”) during the ten (10) trading
days following delivery of the Rights Notice (the “Option Period”) to inform the Company whether
such Purchaser will purchase up to fifty percent (50%) of the stated value of the Preferred Shares
held by such Purchaser on the date the Rights Notice was delivered to the Purchaser for the
securities being offered in such Subsequent Financing on the same, absolute terms and conditions as
contemplated by such Subsequent Financing (the “First Refusal Rights”). If any Purchaser elects
not to participate in such Subsequent Financing, the other Purchasers may participate on a pro-rata
basis so long as such participation in the aggregate does not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the
stated value of all Preferred Shares outstanding as of the date of the Rights Notice. For purposes
of this Section, all references to “pro rata” means, for any Purchaser electing to participate in
such Subsequent Financing, the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the total number of Preferred
Shares purchased by such Purchaser at the Closing by (y) the total number of Preferred Shares
purchased by all of the participating Purchasers at the Closing. Delivery of any Rights Notice
constitutes a representation and warranty by the Company that there are no other material terms and
conditions, arrangements, agreements or otherwise except for those disclosed in the Rights Notice,
to provide additional compensation to any party participating in any proposed Subsequent Financing,
including, but not limited to, additional compensation based on changes in the purchase price or
any type of reset or adjustment of a purchase or conversion price or to issue additional securities
at any time after the closing date of a Subsequent Financing. If the Company does not receive
notice of exercise of the Rights Option from the Purchasers within the Option Period, the Company
shall have the right to close the Subsequent Financing on the scheduled closing date with a third
party; provided that all of the material terms and conditions of the closing are the same
as those provided to the Purchasers in the Rights Notice. If the closing of the proposed
Subsequent Financing does not occur on that date, any closing of the contemplated Subsequent
Financing or any other Subsequent Financing shall be subject to all of

19

 

the provisions of this Section 3.12, including, without limitation, the delivery of a new
Rights Notice. The provisions of this Section 3.12(b) shall not apply to issuances of Financing
Securities in a Permitted Financing.

          Section 3.13 Reservation of Shares. So long as any of the Preferred Shares or
Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have
authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, an amount equal to at least one hundred
twenty percent (120%) of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be
sufficient to provide for the issuance of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares.

          Section 3.14 Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable
instructions to its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates,
registered in the name of each Purchaser or its respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares
and the Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Purchaser to the
Company upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants in the form of
Exhibit E attached hereto (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”). Prior to
registration of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act, all such
certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 5.1 of this Agreement. The
Company warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions
referred to in this Section 3.14 will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the
Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the
extent provided in this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. If a Purchaser provides
the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that a public
sale, assignment or transfer of the Shares may be made without registration under the Securities
Act or the Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the Shares can be sold
pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities acquired as of a
particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in
the case of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to
issue one or more certificates in such name and in such denominations as specified by such
Purchaser and without any restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its
obligations under this Section 3.14 will cause irreparable harm to the Purchasers by vitiating the
intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges
that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 3.14 will be inadequate
and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this
Section 3.14, that the Purchasers shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies,
to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer,
without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being
required.

          Section 3.15 Disposition of Assets. So long as the Preferred Shares remain
outstanding, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of
any of its properties, assets and rights including, without limitation, its software and
intellectual property, to any person except for sales to customers in the ordinary course of
business or with the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Preferred Shares
then outstanding.

20

 

          Section 3.16 Reporting Status. So long as a Purchaser beneficially owns any of the
Securities, the Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the Commission
pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required
to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations
thereunder would permit such termination.

          Section 3.17 Disclosure of Transaction. The Company shall issue a press release
describing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Press Release”) as soon
as practicable after the Closing but in no event later than one hour after the Closing;
provided, however, that if the Closing occurs after 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time on any
Trading Day, the Company shall issue the Press Release no later than 9:00 A.M. Eastern Time on the
first Trading Day following the Closing Date. The Company shall also file with the Commission a
Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) describing the material terms of the transactions
contemplated hereby (and attaching as exhibits thereto this Agreement, the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Certificate of Designation, the form of Warrant and the Press Release) as soon as
practicable following the Closing Date but in no event more than two (2) Trading Days following the
Closing Date, which Press Release and Form 8-K shall be subject to prior review and comment by the
Purchasers. “Trading Day” means any day during which the OTC Bulletin Board (or other principal
exchange on which the Common Stock is traded) shall be open for trading.

          Section 3.18 Disclosure of Material Information. The Company covenants and agrees
that neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf has provided or 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 representations in effecting
transactions in securities of the Company.

          Section 3.19 Pledge of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the
Securities may be pledged by a Purchaser in connection with a bona fide margin
agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Common Stock. The pledge
of Common Stock shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Common Stock
hereunder, and no Purchaser effecting a pledge of Common Stock shall be required to provide the
Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that a Purchaser and its pledgee shall be
required to comply with the provisions of Article V hereof in order to effect a sale, transfer or
assignment of Common Stock to such pledgee. At the Purchasers’ expense, the Company hereby agrees
to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Common Stock may reasonably request
in connection with a pledge of the Common Stock to such pledgee by a Purchaser.

          Section 3.20 Restrictions on Certain Issuances of Securities. So long as any
Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the Company shall not issue any securities that rank pari
passu or senior to the Preferred Shares without the prior written consent of the holders of at
least eighty percent (80%) of the Preferred Shares outstanding at such time.

21

 

          Section 3.21 Independent Board Members. No later than September 30, 2006, the Company
shall provide evidence that its Board of Directors complies with the listing rules of The Nasdaq
Capital Market and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and consists of five members which shall include three
current members and two additional members that are reasonably acceptable to the Purchasers.

          Section 3.22 Application for Nasdaq Listing. The Company shall use its best efforts
to file an initial listing application for its Common Stock to be listed on The Nasdaq Capital
Market no later than June 30, 2006 and the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its shares
of Common Stock to be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market as soon as practicable, but in no event
later than October 31, 2006. In the event that the Company does not file the initial listing
application by June 30, 2006 or the Company’s shares of Common Stock, including the Conversion
Shares and the Warrant Shares, are not listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market by October 31, 2006, the
Company shall pay a penalty to each Purchaser on a monthly basis equal to one percent (1%) of each
Purchaser’s portion of the Purchase Price, but in no event shall such penalties exceed more than
ten percent (10%) of each Purchaser’s portion of the Purchase Price.

ARTICLE V

Stock Certificate Legend

          Section 5.1 Legend. Each certificate representing the Preferred Shares and the
Warrants, and, if appropriate, securities issued upon conversion thereof, shall be stamped or
otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form (in addition to any legend
required by applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws):

25

 

THESE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE “SECURITIES”) HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR
OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR DIRT MOTOR SPORTS, INC. SHALL HAVE
RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS
IS NOT REQUIRED.

          The Company agrees to reissue certificates representing any of the Conversion Shares and the
Warrant Shares, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of
any such securities, such holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company describing the
manner and terms of such transfer and removal as the Company may reasonably request. Such proposed
transfer and removal will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Company has received an opinion
of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the registration of the
Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act is not required in connection with
such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such
proposed disposition has been filed by the Company with the Commission and has become effective
under the Securities Act, (iii) the Company has received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to
the Company that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities
laws are not required, or (iv) the holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such
security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Company
has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that
registration or qualification under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state is not required
in connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with applicable state securities
or “blue sky” laws has been effected or a valid exemption exists with respect thereto. The Company
will respond to any such notice from a holder within three (3) business days. In the case of any
proposed transfer under this Section 5.1, the Company will use reasonable efforts to comply with
any such applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to
qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that
would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then
subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state for which
registration by coordination is unavailable to the Company. The restrictions on transfer contained
in this Section 5.1 shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other
restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Agreement. Whenever a certificate
representing the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares is required to be issued to a Purchaser
without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares or
Warrant Shares (provided that a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the
resale of the Warrant Shares and Conversion Shares is then in effect), the Company shall cause its

of this Agreement).

ARTICLE VI

Indemnification

          Section 6.1 General Indemnity. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Purchasers (and their respective directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns)
from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by
the Purchasers as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or
covenants made by the Company herein. Each Purchaser severally but not jointly agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and
assigns from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by
the Company as result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or
covenants made by such Purchaser herein. The maximum aggregate liability of each Purchaser
pursuant to its indemnification obligations under this Article VI shall not exceed the portion of
the Purchase Price paid by such Purchaser hereunder.

          Section 6.2 Indemnification Procedure. Any party entitled to indemnification under
this Article VI (an “indemnified party”) will give written notice to the indemnifying party of any
matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party
entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the
indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that the
indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any action,
proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is
sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the
reasonable judgment of the indemnified party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying
party may exist with respect of such action, proceeding or claim, to assume the defense thereof
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnifying
party advises an indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder,
or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing,
such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any
action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such
defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or
pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing
to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified
party’s costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action,
claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The indemnified party
shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of
any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all
information reasonably available to the indemnified party which relates to such action or claim.
The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the
status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying
party elects to defend any such

27

 

action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense
with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be
liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written
consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall
not, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or
consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the
indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the
claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of
such claim. The indemnification required by this Article VI shall be made by periodic payments of
the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or
expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the indemnified party irrevocably agrees
to refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such
party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in
addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the
indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to
pursuant to the law.

ARTICLE VII

Miscellaneous

          Section 7.1 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement or the Certificate of Designation, each party shall pay the fees and
expenses of its advisors, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses,
incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement, provided that the Company shall pay all actual attorneys’

pursuant hereto.

          Section 7.2 Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction. 

          (a) The Company and the Purchasers acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur
in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Certificate of Designation or the
Registration Rights Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were
otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction
or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or the Registration
Rights Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being
in addition to any other remedy to which any of them

28

 

may be entitled by law or equity.

          (b) Each of the Company and the Purchasers (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction
of the United States District Court sitting in the Southern District of New York and the courts of
the State of New York located in New York county for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any
such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of
such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the
venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the Purchasers
consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof
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 in
this Section 7.2 shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by
law.

          Section 7.3 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents
contains the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the matters covered
hereby and, except as specifically set forth herein or in the Transaction Documents or the
Certificate of Designation, neither the Company nor any of the Purchasers makes any
representations, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters and they supersede
all prior understandings and agreements with respect to said subject matter, all of which are
merged herein. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended other than by a written
instrument signed by the Company and the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the
Preferred Shares then outstanding, and no provision hereof may be waived other than by an a written
instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment or waiver is sought.
No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders
of the Preferred Shares then outstanding. 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 or the Certificate of Designation unless the same consideration is also offered to all of
the parties to the Transaction Documents or holders of Preferred Shares, as the case may be.

benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person.

          Section 7.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any of the

[Name and address of Transfer Agent]

Attn:                                         

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Reference is made to that certain Series D Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the
“Purchase Agreement”), dated as of May ___, 2006, by and among Dirt Motor Sports, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and the purchasers named therein (collectively, the “Purchasers”)
pursuant to which the Company is issuing to the Purchasers shares of its Series D Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share, (the “Preferred Shares”) and warrants (the “Warrants”)
to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”).
This letter shall serve as our irrevocable authorization and direction to you (subject to Section
3.1(a) of the Purchase Agreement and provided that you are the transfer agent of the Company at
such time) to issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Shares (the “Conversion
Shares”) and exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) to or upon the order of a Purchaser
from time to time. So long as you have previously received (i) written confirmation from counsel
to the Company that a registration statement covering resales of the Conversion Shares or Warrant
Shares, as applicable, has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and no subsequent notice by
the Company or its counsel of the suspension or termination of its effectiveness and (ii) a copy of
such registration statement (if such registration statement is not otherwise available on the SEC’s
EDGAR system), then certificates representing the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, as the
case may be, shall not bear any legend restricting transfer of the Conversion Shares and the
Warrant Shares, as the case may be, thereby and should not be subject to any stop-transfer
restriction. Provided, however, that if you have not previously received those items, then the
certificates for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares shall bear the following legend:

     “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,
TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR DIRT MOTOR
SPORTS, INC. SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF ITS COUNSEL THAT
REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER
THE

 

 

PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.”

and, provided further, that the Company may from time to time notify you to place stop-transfer
restrictions on the certificates for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares in the event a
registration statement covering the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares is subject to
amendment for events then current.

     A form of written confirmation from counsel to the Company that a registration statement
covering resales of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares has been declared effective by the
SEC under the 1933 Act is attached hereto as Exhibit III.

     Please be advised that the Purchasers are relying upon this letter as an inducement to enter
into the Securities Purchase Agreement and, accordingly, each Purchaser is a third party
beneficiary to these instructions.

     Please execute this letter in the space indicated to acknowledge your agreement to act in
accordance with these instructions. Should you have any questions concerning this matter, please
contact me at                                         .

          Re: Dirt Motor Sports, Inc. 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We are counsel to Dirt Motor Sports, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and have
represented the Company in connection with that certain Series D Convertible Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of May ___, 2006, by and among the Company
and the purchasers named therein (collectively, the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company
issued to the Purchasers shares of its Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per
share, (the “Preferred Shares”) and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s
common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,
the Company has also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers (the
“Registration Rights Agreement”), dated as of May ___, 2006, pursuant to which the Company agreed,
among other things, to register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement), including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares
and exercise of the Warrants, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). In
connection with the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on
                                    , 2006, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (File No.
333-___) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) relating to the resale of the Registrable Securities which names each of the present
Purchasers as a selling stockholder thereunder.

     In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC’s staff has advised
us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective
under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and we have no
knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC’s staff, that any stop order suspending
its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or
threatened by, the SEC and accordingly, the Registrable Securities are available for resale under
the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.

	 	 	 	 	 
	 	Very truly yours,

[COMPANY COUNSEL]

EXHIBIT F to the

SERIES D CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR

DIRT MOTOR SPORTS, INC.

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL

          1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the state of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate
its properties and assets, and to carry on its business as presently conducted. The Company is
duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every
jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such
qualification necessary.

          2. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its
obligations under the Transaction Documents and to issue the Preferred Stock, the Warrants and the
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants. The
execution, delivery and performance of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the
consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly authorized
by all necessary corporate action and no further consent or authorization of the Company or its
Board of Directors or stockholders is required. Each of the Transaction Documents have been duly
executed and delivered, and the Preferred Stock and the Warrants have been duly executed, issued
and delivered by the Company and each of the Transaction Documents constitutes a legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its respective
terms. The Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the
Warrants are not subject to any preemptive rights under the Certificate of Incorporation or the
Bylaws.

          3. The Preferred Stock and the Warrants have been duly authorized and, when delivered against
payment in full as provided in the Purchase Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and
exercise of the Warrants, have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance, and, when delivered
upon conversion or against payment in full as provided in the Certificate of Designation and the
Warrants, as applicable, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

          4. The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with the terms of the Transaction
Documents and the issuance of the Preferred Stock, the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants do not (i) violate any provision of
the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an
event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others
any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement,
mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation
to which the Company is a party, (iii) create or impose a lien, charge or encumbrance on any
property of the Company under any agreement or any commitment to which the Company is a party or by
which the Company is bound or by which any of its respective properties or assets are bound, or
(iv) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation,
order, judgment, injunction or decree (including Federal and state securities laws and regulations)
applicable to the Company or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected,
except, in all cases other than violations pursuant to clause (i) above, for such conflicts,
default, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

          5. No consent, approval or authorization of or designation, declaration or filing with any
governmental authority on the part of the Company is required under Federal, state or local law,
rule

 

 

or regulation in connection with the valid execution and delivery of the Transaction
Documents, or the offer, sale or issuance of the Preferred Stock, the Warrants or the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants other than the
Certificate of Designation and the Registration Statement.

     6. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding pending or threatened against
the Company which questions the validity of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby
or any action taken or to be taken pursuant hereto or thereto. There is no action, suit, claim,
investigation or proceeding pending, or to our knowledge, threatened, against or involving the
Company or any of its properties or assets and which, if adversely determined, is reasonably likely
to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no outstanding orders, judgments, injunctions,
awards or decrees of any court, arbitrator or governmental or regulatory body against the Company
or any officers or directors of the Company in their capacities as such.

     7. The offer, issuance and sale of the Preferred Stock and the Warrants and the offer,
issuance and sale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and
exercise of the Warrants pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Certificate of Designation and the
Warrants, as applicable, are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

     8. The Company is not, and as a result of and immediately upon Closing will not be, an
“investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
