otherwise acquire and cancel any shares of Series  B Preferred Stock,
the shares of Series B Preferred Stock so converted or otherwise acquired and

Stock, without designation as to series until such stock is once more designated
as part of a particular series by the Board of Directors.  In
addition, if the Company shall not issue the maximum number of shares of Series
B Preferred Stock, the Company may, from time to time, by resolution of the
Board of Directors and the approval of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Majority Holders”),
reduce the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock authorized, provided,
that no such reduction shall reduce the number of authorized shares to a number
which is less than the number of shares of Series  B Preferred Stock
then issued or reserved for issuance.  The number of shares by which
the Series B Preferred Stock is reduced shall have the status of authorized but
unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to series, until such
stock is once more designated as part of a particular series by the Company’s
Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors shall cause to be filed
with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware such certificate as shall
be necessary to reflect any reduction in the number of shares constituting the
Series B Preferred Stock.

      

      Section
3. Dividends
and Other Distributions.

      

      (a)     
For so long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding,
no dividends shall be declared or payable with respect to the Common Stock. The
right of the Holders to receive dividends and/or other distributions provided in
this Section 3 shall rank pari passu with the holders of Series A Preferred
Stock.

      (b)    
The Holders shall be entitled to cumulative dividends in preference to any
dividends on the Common Stock at the rate of 6% of the Original Purchase Price
per annum compounded daily and payable semi-annually. Dividends shall begin to
accrue on the date of issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock and shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and
shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year
(each, a "Dividend
Date") with the first Dividend Date being June 1,
2009.   If a Dividend Date is not a business day, then the
dividend shall be due and payable on the business day immediately following such
Dividend Date.  Dividends shall be payable in shares of Common Stock
("Dividend
Shares") or, at the option of the Company, in cash, provided that the
dividends which accrued during any period shall be payable in cash only if the
Company indicates that the dividend will be paid in cash in the Dividend Notice
(as defined below).  At least five (5) days prior to the applicable
Dividend Date (the "Dividend Notice
Date"), the Company shall provide written notice (the "Dividend Notice") to
each Holder indicating that the dividend is to be paid in
cash.  Dividends paid in Dividend Shares shall be paid in a number of
fully paid and nonassessable shares (rounded up to the nearest whole share) of
Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the amount of interest payable divided
by (a) the product of (A) 90% and (B) the average of VWAP for each day during
the period commencing twenty (20) days preceding but not including the Dividend
Date.  If any Dividend Shares are to be issued on a Dividend Date,
then the Company shall within five (5) business days of the applicable Dividend
Date, issue and deliver to such Holder a certificate, registered in the name of
the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which
the Holder shall be entitled.

       

      Section
4.    
Voting
Rights.

       

      (a)     
Except as otherwise provided herein or by law and in addition to any right to
vote as a separate class as provided by law,  the holders of the
Series B Preferred Stock shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the
voting rights and powers of holders of Common Stock and shall be entitled to
notice of any stockholders meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Company,
and shall be entitled to vote, with respect to any question upon which holders
of Common Stock have the right to vote, including, without limitation, the right
to vote for the election of directors, voting together with the holders of
Common Stock as one class.  For so long as the number of outstanding
shares of Series B Preferred Stock is at least thirty percent (30%) of the total
number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued under the Series B Purchase
Agreement, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall vote together as a
single class with the holders of the Company’s Common Stock, and the holders of
any other class or series of shares entitled to vote with the Common Stock, with
the holders of Series B Preferred Stock issued under the Series B Purchase
Agreement being entitled to seventy percent (70%) of the total votes on all such
matters regardless of the actual number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock
then outstanding, and the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock
being entitled to their proportional share of the remaining 30% of the total
votes based on their respective voting power as calculated under the Series A
Certificate and the Company’s Certificate
of  Incorporation.

       

      (b)     
If the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding is less than
thirty percent (30%) of the total number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock
issued under the Series B Purchase Agreement, each holder of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of
shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series B Preferred Stock would
be converted if converted on the record date for the taking of a vote
(regardless of the number of shares of Common Stock that the Corporation is then
authorized to issue) or, if no record date is established, at the day prior to
the date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholders is first
executed.  Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any
fractional voting rights resulting from the above formula (after aggregating all
shares into which shares of Preferred Stock held by each holder would be
converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half being
rounded upward).

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          5

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      

      (c)     
For so long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding,
without the affirmative approval of the Holders of 75% of the shares of the
Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding (by vote or written consent, as
provided by law), the Company shall not:

       

      i.     
in any manner authorize, issue or create (by reclassification or otherwise) any
new class or series of shares having rights, preferences or privileges equal or
senior to the Series B Preferred Stock;

       

      ii.     
adversely alter or change the rights, preferences, designations or privileges of
the Series B Preferred Stock;

       

      iii.     
amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or By-laws in a manner that
adversely affects the rights, preferences, designations or privileges of the
Holders;

       

      iv.     
increase or decrease the authorized number of shares of preferred stock of the
Company or otherwise reclassify the Company's outstanding
securities;

       

      v.     
redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire (or pay into or set funds aside for a
sinking fund for such purpose) any share or shares of Preferred Stock or Common
Stock; provided, however,
that this restriction shall not apply to repurchases of shares of Common Stock
from employees, officers, directors, consultants or other persons performing
services for the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to agreements that are
approved by the Board under which the Company has the option to repurchase such
shares at cost upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the termination of
employment, or through the exercise of any right of first refusal; and provided further, that this
restriction shall not apply to any conversion, redemption or other acquisition
of shares of Series B Convertible Stock pursuant to this Certificate, any
Transaction Documents or as contemplated under the Series A Financing
Transaction Documents (as defined in the Series B Purchase Agreement);
or

       

      vi.     
voluntarily file for bankruptcy, liquidate the Company’s assets or make an
assignment for the benefit of the Company’s creditors.

       

      (d)     
Until the expiration of two (2) years following the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”),
neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall (i) sell all or substantially all
of its assets, or (ii) at any given date during the Restricted Period, issue
debt any debt securities or otherwise incur any debt in a manner as to cause its
debt-to-equity ratio to exceed 50% without obtaining prior approval of the
Majority Holders. 

       

      (e)      For so
long as 20% of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding,
the Company shall not issue (i) any Preferred Stock (with the exception of the
Series B Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Series B Purchase Agreement or
any Series A Preferred Stock issued under the Series A Purchase Agreement (as
defined under the Series B Purchase Agreement)), or (ii) any convertible debt
exchangeable or convertible into the Company’s Common Stock, without the consent
of seventy-five percent of the Holders of such outstanding shares
of  Series B Preferred Stock.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          6

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      Whenever
Holders are required or permitted to take any action by vote, such action may be
taken without a meeting on written consent, setting forth the action so taken
and signed by the holders of the outstanding capital stock of the Company having
not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize
or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon
were present and voted.

      

      Section
5. Liquidation.
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether
voluntary or involuntary (each, a “Liquidation Event”),
the Holders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company,
whether such assets are capital or surplus, for each share of Series B Preferred
Stock an amount equal to the Original Purchase Price , plus any accumulated but
unpaid dividends thereon (the “Liquidation Value”),
before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any
securities which are junior to the Series B Preferred Stock upon the occurrence
of a Liquidation Event and after any distributions or payments made to holders
of any class or series of securities which are senior to the Series B Preferred
Stock upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event.  Upon the occurrence
of a Liquidation Event, the right of the Holders to receive Liquidation Value
hereunder shall rank pari passu with that of the holders of Series A Preferred
Stock ( the “A Holders”).  If the assets of the Company shall be
insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the entire assets to be
distributed to the Holders shall be distributed among the Holders and the A
Holders ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable
on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.  In
the event the assets of the Company available for distribution to the holders of
shares of Series B Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event
shall be insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such holders are
entitled pursuant to this Section 5, no distribution shall be made on account of
any shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Company ranking
on a parity with the shares of Series B Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of
such Liquidation Event unless proportionate distributive amounts shall be paid
on account of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, ratably, in proportion to
the full distributable amounts for which holders of all such parity shares are
respectively entitled upon the occurrence of such Liquidation
Event.  At the election of a Holder made by written notice delivered
to the Company at least two (2) business days prior to the effective date of the
subject transaction, as to the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such
Holder, a Fundamental Transaction or Change in Control shall be treated as a
Liquidation Event as to such Holder.

      

      Section
6. Conversion.

      

      (a)     
Conversion at Option
of Holder. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be initially
convertible, into such number of shares of Common Stock based on the Conversion
Ratio at the option of the Holders, at any time and from time to time on or
after its issuance.  A Holder shall effect conversions by providing
the Company with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of
Conversion”) as fully and originally executed by the Holder, together
with the delivery by the Holder to the Company of the stock certificate(s)
representing the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted,
with such stock certificates being duly endorsed in full for transfer to the
Company or with an applicable stock power duly executed by the Holder in the
manner and form as deemed reasonable by the Company’s transfer agent for the
Common Stock. Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of
Series B Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of
Series B Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue, the stock
certificate number and the shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented
thereby which are accompanying the Notice of Conversion, and the date on which
such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to two Trading
Days following the date the Holder mails such Notice of Conversion and the
applicable stock certificates to the Company by overnight delivery service (the
“Conversion
Date”).  If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of
Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the Trading Day immediately following
the date that such Notice of Conversion and applicable stock certificates are
received by the Company. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of
Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical
error.  Shares of Series B Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock
in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and may not be
reissued.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          7

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (b)     
Adjustment of
Conversion Ratio. If the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to this
Certificate or the Series B Purchase Agreement, the Conversion Ratio shall
likewise be adjusted and the new Conversion Ratio shall be determined by
multiplying the Conversion Ratio in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the Conversion Price in effect before the adjustment and the denominator of
which is the new Conversion Price.  Thereafter, subject to any further
adjustments in the Conversion Price, each share of Series B Preferred Stock
shall be  convertible into Common Stock based on the new Conversion
Ratio.

       

      (c)     
Automatic Conversion
Upon Change in Control.  Subject to Section 5, all of the
outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted
into the Conversion Shares upon the close of business on the business day
immediately preceding the date fixed for consummation of any transaction
resulting in a Change in Control of the Company.  A “Change in Control”
means a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another company or
entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity or the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company to another company or entity not
controlled by the then existing stockholders of the Company in a transaction or
series of transactions.  The Company shall not be obligated to issue
certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares unless certificates evidencing the
shares of Series B Preferred Stock so converted are either delivered to the
Company or its transfer agent or the holder notifies the Company or its transfer
agent in writing that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and
executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from
any loss incurred by it in connection therewith.  Upon the conversion
of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6(c), the
Company shall promptly send written notice thereof, by hand delivery or by
overnight delivery, to the holders of record of all of the Series B Preferred
Stock at their addresses then shown on the records of the Company, which notice
shall state that certificates evidencing shares of Series B Preferred Stock must
be surrendered at the office of the Company (or of its transfer agent for the
Common Stock, if applicable .

       

      (d)     
Mechanics of
Conversion

       

      i.     
Delivery of
Certificate Upon Conversion. Except as otherwise set forth herein, not
later than three (3) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery
Date”), the Company shall deliver to the Holder (A) a certificate or
certificates which, after the effective date of the Registration Statement
covering the sale of the Conversion Shares of such Holder (the “Effective Date”),
shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those
required by the Purchase Agreements) representing the number of Conversion
Shares being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock,
and (B) if applicable, a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid
dividends (if the Company has elected or is required to pay accrued dividends in
cash).  After the Effective Date, the Company shall, upon request of
the Holder, deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by
the Company under this Section electronically through the Depository Trust
Company or another established clearing Company performing similar functions if
the Company’s transfer agent has the ability to deliver shares of Common Stock
in such manner.  If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such
certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the
applicable Holder by the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder
shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or
before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind
such conversion, in which event the Company shall immediately return the
certificates representing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock tendered for
conversion.

      ii.    
Obligation Absolute;
Partial Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to issue and
deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock in
accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of
any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent
with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any
Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the
Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or
alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person, and irrespective of
any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the
Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion
Shares.  In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of
its Series B Preferred Stock, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any
claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with the Holder has
been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other
reason  unless an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and
or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Series B Preferred Stock shall
have been sought and obtained and the Company posts a surety bond for the
benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the Liquidation Value of Series B
Preferred Stock which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in
effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the
proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains
judgment.  In the absence of an injunction precluding the same, the
Company shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly
noticed conversion.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to
pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates
representing the Conversion Shares upon conversion within the period specified
herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to
it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of
specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

       

      iii.    
Compensation for
“Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon
Conversion.  If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such
certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 6(f)(1) by a Share Delivery
Date, and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder purchases (in an open
market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a
sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to
receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the
Company shall pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common
Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at
issue multiplied by (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such
purchase obligation was executed. For example, if the Holder purchases Common
Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to
an attempted conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock with respect to
which the aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation is
$10,000, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000 hereunder. The
Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable
to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations
and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall
limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder,
at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to
timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion
of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms
hereof.

      (e)     
Reservation of Shares
Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times
reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common
Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series B
Preferred Stock, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any
other actual or contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holders,
not less than such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to any
additional requirements of the Company as to reservation of such shares set
forth in the Purchase Agreements) be issuable upon the conversion of all
outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.  The Company covenants
that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be
duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid,
nonassessable.  The Company shall immediately, in accordance with the
laws of the State of Delaware, increase the authorized amount of its Common
Stock if, at any time, the authorized amount of its Common Stock, remaining
unissued shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of all shares of
Series B Preferred Stock.

       

      (f)      
Fractional
Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any
share or shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, and the number of shares of
Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole
share.  The number of shares issuable upon conversion shall be
determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series B Preferred
Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion.

       

      (g)     
No Charge for
Conversion; Transfer Taxes.  The issuance of certificates for
shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock
shall be made without charge to the converting Holders for such certificates.
The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of the
Series B Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holders thereof for
any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the
issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be
required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved
in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name
other than that of the Holder of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock so
converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such
certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance
thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have
established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been
paid.

      (h)     
Absolute
Obligation.  Except as expressly provided herein, no provision
of this Certificate shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which
is absolute and unconditional, to pay the liquidated damages (if any) on, the
shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin
or currency, herein prescribed.

       

       Section
7.     
Certain
Adjustments.

       

      (a)     
Stock Dividends and
Stock Splits.  If the Company, at any time subsequent to the
Closing Date as long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall remain
outstanding: (i) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or
distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity
equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of
doubt, shall not include any securities issued pursuant to the Purchase
Agreements), (ii) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
number of shares, (iii) combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of shares of the
Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion
Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding
before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding after such event.  Any adjustment made
pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in
the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.

       

      (b)     
Subsequent
Transactions.  Except as contemplated under the Series A
Purchase Agreement or the Series B Purchase Agreement, for so long as any shares
of Series B Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, the Company shall not
effect or enter into an agreement to effect any transactions involving a
“Variable Rate Transaction” or an “MFN Transaction” (each as defined
below).  Following the Closing Date, if the Company enters into a
Variable Rate Transaction or MFN Transaction, despite the prohibition hereof and
in the Series B Purchase Agreement, in addition to other remedies that the
Company may have, the Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock at the
lowest possible conversion or exercise price at which such securities may be
converted or exercised and Holders shall be entitled to adjustment to the
Conversion Price pursuant to Section 7(c) hereof and receive additional shares
or other rights and benefits to the effect that Holder shall enjoy substantially
similar terms and conditions as those offered in the Variable Rate Transaction
and/r MFN Transaction. The term “Variable Rate
Transaction” shall mean a transaction in which the Company issues or
sells (i) any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable
or exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional shares of Common
Stock either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that
is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the
shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or
equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is
subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such
debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events
directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for
the Common Stock.  The term “MFN Transaction”
shall mean a transaction in which the Company issues or sells any securities in
a capital raising transaction or series of related transactions on terms and
conditions more favorable than those granted to the investors under the Purchase
Agreements and related transaction documents.  Any Purchaser shall be
entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such
issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7(b) shall not apply in respect of
an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction or MFN Transaction
shall be an Exempt Issuance.

      (c)     
Price Adjustment Upon
Dilutive Issuances.

       

      i.     
For so long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding,
following the Closing Date, in the event the Company closes on the sale or
issuance of (A) Common Stock at a price, or (B) any securities convertible into
or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Common Stock (“Convertible
Securities”), or any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such
Common Stock or Convertible Securities (collectively, the “Additional
Issuances”) with an exercise price or conversion price, which is less
than the Conversion Price then in effect (such lower sales price, conversion or
exercise price, as the case may be, being referred to as the “Lower Price”), then
and in such event, the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such
issue or sale, to the Lower Price.

       

      ii.     
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 7(c)(i), no
adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price and/or the Conversion Ratio
with regard to (i) securities issued pursuant to a bona fide firm underwritten
public offering of the Company’s securities provided such underwritten public
offering shall provide gross proceeds to the Company of not less than
$20,000,000 and shall have been approved in advance by the Majority Holders,
(ii) securities issued (other than for cash) in connection with a strategic
merger, acquisition, or consolidation provided that the issuance of such
securities in connection with such strategic merger, acquisition or
consolidation has been approved in advance by the Majority Holders, (iii)
securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or
exercisable securities issued or outstanding on or prior to the Closing Date,
issued pursuant to the Series A Purchase Agreement or the Series B Purchase
Agreement (so long as the conversion or exercise price in such securities are
not amended to lower such price and/or adversely affect the Holders), (iv)
securities issued in connection with bona fide strategic license agreements or
other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose
of raising capital and provided that the issuance of such securities in
connection with such bona fide strategic license, agreements or other partnering
arrangements has been approved in advance by the Majority Holders, (v) Common
Stock issued or the issuance or grants of options to purchase Common Stock
pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans outstanding as they exist on
the closing date of the Series A Financing, (vi) the issuance or grants of
options to purchase Common Stock to employees, officers or directors of the
Company pursuant to any equity incentive plan duly adopted by the Board of
Directors or a committee thereof established for such purpose so long as such
issuances in the aggregate do not exceed ten percent (10)% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Closing Date and the specified
price at which the options may be exercised is equal to or greater than the VWAP
as of the date of such grant, and (vii) any warrants, shares of Common Stock or
other securities issued to a placement agent and its designees for the
transactions contemplated by the Series A Purchase Agreement or the Series B
Purchase Agreement (each an “Exempt
Issuance”).

       

      (d)     
Pro Rata
Distributions. If the Company, at any time after the Closing, shall
distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) evidences of its
indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any
security, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be determined by
multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date
fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by
a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the
record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on
such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the
portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to
one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of
Directors in good faith.  In either case the adjustments shall be
described in a statement provided to the Holders of the portion of assets or
evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable
to one share of Common Stock.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever
any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the
record date mentioned above.

      (e)     
Calculations.  All
calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the
nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.  The number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or
held by or for the account of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries.  For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of
Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the
sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares and
shares owned by subsidiaries, if any) actually issued and
outstanding.

       

      (f)     
Notice to
Holders.

       

      i.     
Adjustment to
Conversion Price.  Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted
pursuant to any of this Section 7, the Company shall promptly mail to each
Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and
setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment.

       

      ii.     
Notices of Other
Events.  If (A) notwithstanding Section 3(a), the Company shall
declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Stock; (B) the
Company shall declare a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the Company shall
authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any
rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in
connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock or any Fundamental
Transaction, (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then in
each such case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency
maintained for the purpose of conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, and
shall cause to be mailed to the Holders at their last addresses as they shall
appear upon the  stock books of the Company, at least 10 calendar days
prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice
stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to
be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be
entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to
be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification is expected to
become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders
of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the
Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such
reclassification or Fundamental Transaction; provided, that the
failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof
shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified
in such notice.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          13

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (g)     
Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while any shares of Series B Preferred Stock
shall remain outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of
the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of
all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related
transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company
or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are
permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or
property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock
or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is
effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property
(in any such case, a “Fundamental
Transaction”), then upon any subsequent conversion of this Series B
Preferred Stock, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion
Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent such Fundamental
Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it
would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental
Transaction as if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental
Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “Alternate
Consideration”).  For purposes of any such conversion, the
determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply
to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration
issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental
Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the
Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of
any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders
of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to
be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the
same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of
this Series B Preferred Stock following such Fundamental
Transaction.  To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing
provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental
Transaction shall file a new Certificate with the same terms and conditions and
issue to the Holder new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions
and evidencing the Holder’s right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate
Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental
Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or
surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (h) and
insuring that this Series B Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security)
will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a
Fundamental Transaction.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other
provisions of this Certificate, in the event that the agreement relating to a
Fundamental Transaction provides for the conversion or exchange of the Series B
Preferred Stock into equity or debt securities, cash or other consideration and
the agreement is approved by the Majority Holders, then the Holders shall have
only the rights set forth in such agreement.

       

      Section
8.      Miscellaneous.

      

      (a)     
Transfer
Restriction.   The Series B Preferred Stock is not
transferable except as between Affiliates and as between China Hand Fund I, LLC,
a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the State
of Delaware and Vicis Master Fund (“Vicis”), which shall
not be deemed Affiliate to China Hand based solely on this Section
8(a).  Vicis may also transfer shares of Series B Preferred Stock to
its affiliates.

       

      (b)

recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company, at its principal
address as reflected in its most recent filing with the
Commission.  Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered
personally, by facsimile, sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier
service addressed to each Holder at the facsimile telephone number or address of
such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, or if no such facsimile
telephone number or address appears, at the principal place of business of the

      (c)     
Lost or Mutilated
Preferred Stock Certificate.  If a Holder’s Series B Preferred
Stock certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company
shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon
cancellation of a mutilated certificate, or in lieu of or in substitution for a
lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a new certificate for the shares of
Series B Preferred Stock so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed but only upon
receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such certificate, and
of the ownership thereof, and indemnity, if requested, all reasonably
satisfactory to the Company.

       

      (d)     
Next Trading
Day.  Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall
be due on a day other than a Trading Day, such payment shall be made on the next
succeeding Trading Day.

       

      (e)     
Headings.  The
headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of
this Certificate and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the
provisions hereof.

       

      (f)     
Amendment.  This
Certificate constitutes an agreement between the Company and the Holders. For as
long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, there
terms hereof may be amended, modified, repealed or waived only by the
affirmative vote or written consent of holders of a majority of the then
outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, voting together as a class and
series.

foregoing resolution and the provisions of Delaware law.

Laws.  The
Company and its Subsidiaries are, and since their respective formations have
been, in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws of any
Governmental Authority applicable to their business or operations. 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 in all material respects as now being conducted by
it except where the failure to so comply would not have a Material Adverse

Property.  Section 4.11(a) of the Disclosure Schedules lists
all real property owned by the Company or its Subsidiaries (each, an “Owned Real Property”

Company or a Subsidiary of the Company has good and marketable title to each
parcel of Owned Real Property (including all buildings, structures, fixtures and

except Permitted Liens, none of which materially interfere with the use of, or
materially detracts from the value of, or the marketability of, such Owned Real
Property.

     

    (b)           Leased Real
Property.   Section 4.12(b) of
the Disclosure Schedules lists all real property leased by the Company or its
Subsidiaries (each, a “Leased Property” and

relating thereto, free and clear of all Liens, assignments, subleases,
easements, covenants, rights of way and other similar restrictions of any nature
whatsoever, other than Permitted Liens, (ii) the lease relating to such Leased
Property is in writing and is valid and binding, in full force and effect and
enforceable against the Company or the leasing Subsidiary and, to the Knowledge
of the Company, the other parties thereto, in accordance with its terms, subject
to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer,
moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general
principles of equity, and (iii) the Company is not and, to the Knowledge of the

connection with the operation of the Company Business.

     

    (e)           The

and in a state of good and working maintenance and repair, ordinary wear and
tear excepted, and are adequate and suitable for their current uses and
purposes.

     

    (f)           There
are no physical conditions or defects on any part of the Real Property which
would impair or would reasonably be expected to impair the continued operation
of the Company Business.

Property

     

    (a)           All Necessary Rights; Absence
of Actions and Judgments.   Section  4.13(a)
of the Disclosure Schedules sets forth all of the Company Intellectual
Property.  The Company owns and has good and exclusive title, or has a
valid, subsisting and enforceable license (sufficient for the conduct of its
business) to all Company Intellectual Property; except where the failure to have
good and/or exclusive title or a valid, subsisting and enforceable license would
not have a Material Adverse Effect.  Except as set forth in Section 4.13(a)
of the Disclosure Schedules, to the Knowledge of the Company, there are no
proceedings or actions currently before any Governmental Authority anywhere in
the world relating to Company Intellectual Property, and no Company Intellectual
Property is subject to any outstanding Order or Contract (including any
settlement agreement) restricting in any manner the Use, transfer, or licensing
thereof by the Company, or which may affect the validity, Use or enforceability
thereof.  To the Knowledge of the Company, the Company has the right
to bring actions for infringement of all Company Intellectual Property owned by
or exclusively licensed to it.

     

    (b)           No
Violation.  The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents, and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, will not (i) breach,
violate or conflict with, or result in the modification, cancellation, or
suspension of any instrument or other Contract relating to any Company
Intellectual Property, (ii) cause the forfeiture or termination or give rise to
a right of forfeiture or termination of any Company Intellectual Property or any
of the Company’s rights therein or thereto, (iii) in any way impair any existing
right of the Company to Use, or to bring any action for the infringement of, any
Company Intellectual Property, or any portion thereof, or (iv) give rise to any
right or acceleration of any royalties, fees or other payments to any third
party. Immediately following the Closing Date, the Company will be permitted to
exercise all of the Company’s rights under all Contracts relating to Company
Intellectual Property to the same extent the Company was able to in the absence
of the transactions contemplated hereby.

     

    (c)           No
Infringement.  To the Knowledge of the Company, no Use of the
Company Intellectual Property by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
breaches, has violated or conflicted with, or violates or conflicts with any
license (or sublicense) or other Contract of the Company with any third
party.  To the Knowledge of the Company, the Use of the Company
Intellectual Property and the conduct of the Company Business have not, and do
not, infringe or misappropriate, any common law or statutory rights of any third
party, including, without limitation, rights relating to defamation, contractual
rights, Intellectual Property or other proprietary rights, rights of privacy or
publicity.  To the Knowledge of the Company, no third party has
breached or violated or is breaching or violating any Contract with the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any Company Intellectual Property, or has
infringed or misappropriated or is infringing or misappropriating any Company
Intellectual Property except as set forth in Section 4.13(c) of
the Disclosure Schedules.  Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries has received any notice (whether in the form of invitation to
license or otherwise) from any third party that any Company Intellectual
Property or the conduct of the Company Business, has infringed or
misappropriated or does or will infringe or misappropriate any common law or
statutory rights of any other third party, including, without limitation, rights
relating to defamation, contractual rights, Intellectual Property or other
proprietary rights, rights of privacy or publicity, nor, to the Knowledge of the
Company, is there any basis for any such assertion. There is no pending or,
to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened claim, litigation or proceeding
contesting or challenging the ownership of or the validity or enforceability of,
or the Company’s right to Use, any Company Intellectual Property, nor, to the
Knowledge of the Company, is there any basis for any such claim, litigation or
proceeding.

including all amendments thereto.  Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary has entered into any oral contracts which, if written, would be

the Disclosure Schedules.  Each of the Material Contracts is valid and
in full force and effect, is enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject
to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer,
moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general
principles of equity, and will continue to be so immediately following the

    (c)           Actions
with Respect to Material Contracts.

     

    (i)           Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary has violated or breached, or committed any
default under, any Material Contract in any material respect, and, to the
Company's Knowledge, no other Person has violated or breached, or committed any
default under any Material Contract in any material respect; and

     

    (ii)          To
the Company's Knowledge, no event has occurred, and no circumstance or condition

be expected to, (A) result in a material violation or breach of any of the
provisions of any Material Contract, (B) give any Person the right to declare a
default or exercise any remedy under any Material Contract, (C) give any Person
the right to accelerate the maturity or performance of any Material Contract or
(D) give any Person the right to cancel, terminate or modify any Material

    (d)           No
Consents.  Except as set forth in Section 4.14(d) of
the Disclosure Schedules, none of the Material Contracts contains any provision
which would require the consent of third parties to the sale, issuance and/or
delivery of the Shares, or any of the other transactions as contemplated
hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents, or which would be
altered as a result of such transactions.

Company and its Subsidiaries have timely and properly filed all Tax Returns
required to be filed by them for all years and periods (and portions thereof)
for which any such Tax Returns were due.  All such filed Tax Returns
are accurate in all material respects.  The Company has timely paid
all Taxes due and payable (whether or not shown on filed Tax
Returns).  There are no pending assessments, asserted deficiencies or
claims for additional Taxes that have not been paid.  The reserves for
Taxes, if any, reflected on the Financial Statements are adequate, and there are
no Liens for Taxes on any property or assets of the Company and any of its
Subsidiaries (other than Liens for Taxes not yet due and
payable).  There have been no audits or examinations of any Tax
Returns by any Governmental Authority, and the Company or its Subsidiaries have
not received any notice that such audit or examination is pending or
contemplated.  No claim has been made by a Governmental Authority in a
jurisdiction where the Company or any of its Subsidiaries does not file Tax
Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that
jurisdiction.  To the Knowledge of the Company, no state of facts
exists or has existed which would constitute grounds for the assessment of any
penalty or any further Tax liability beyond that shown on the respective Tax
Returns.  There are no outstanding agreements or waivers extending the
statutory period of limitation for the assessment or collection of any
Tax.

respect to any transaction relating to, any other Person, or to indemnify any
other Person with respect to any Tax, other than pursuant to this
Agreement.

    (f)           No
payment or benefit paid or provided, or to be paid or provided, to current or
former employees, directors or other service providers of the Company (including
pursuant to this Agreement or the Rights Agreements) will fail to be deductible

    (c)           Each
Person who performs services for the Company or a Subsidiary has been, and is,
properly classified by the Company or such Subsidiary as an employee or an
independent contractor.

     

    (d)           To
the Company's Knowledge, no employee or advisor of the Company or a Subsidiary
is or is alleged to be in violation of any term of any employment contract,
disclosure agreement, proprietary information and inventions agreement or any
other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant or any other common law
obligation to a former employer relating to the right of any such employee to be
employed by the Company or such Subsidiary because of the nature of the business
conducted or to be conducted by the Company or such Subsidiary or to the use of
trade secrets or proprietary information of others, and the employment of the
employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries does not subject the Company or
the Company's stockholders to any liability.  There is neither pending
nor, to the Company's Knowledge, threatened any actions, suits, proceedings or
claims, or, to the Company’s Knowledge, any basis therefor or threat thereof
with respect to any contract, agreement, covenant or obligation referred to in
the preceding sentence.

     

    4.17                 Employee Benefit
Plans.  No
liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation has been incurred with
respect to any Plan (as defined below) 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 Securities will not involve any transaction 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 4.16, 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..

     

    4.18                 Insurance.  The
Company and its Subsidiaries maintain and keep in force with good and
responsible insurance companies insurance in such amounts with such coverage or
risks as are customary for similar businesses that operate in the same
geographic regions as the Company and adequate to the needs of the Company and
its Subsidiaries.  Section 4.18 of the
Disclosure Schedules sets forth a list of such insurance, stating the name and
address of the insurance provider and the amount of insurance. Except as set
forth in Section
4.18 of the Disclosure Schedules, there are no claims by the Company or a
Subsidiary pending under any such policies.  Such insurance policies
are in full force and effect; all premiums with respect thereto are currently
paid, and the Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms
thereof.  Each insurance policy shall continue to be in full force and
effect immediately following the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.  To the
Company’s Knowledge, there is no threatened termination of any such insurance
policies.

    4.19                 Compliance with
Environmental Requirements.  Since
their  inception,  neither the Company, nor any of
its  Subsidiaries  have
been,  in  violation of any applicable law relating to
the  environment or occupational health and safety, where
such  violation  would have a Material Adverse
Effect.  Each of Company and its Subsidiaries has operated all
facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by it in material compliance
with the Environmental Laws.

     

    4.20                 Litigation.  There
is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Company’s
Knowledge, currently threatened against the Company, any Subsidiary or any of
their properties or assets (a) that may impair the right or ability of the
Company to carry on the Company Business; (b) that questions the validity
of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the Company’s ability to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, or (c) that,
if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, and there is no basis for any of the foregoing.  Neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary is a party to, named in, or subject to any
Order.  There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation by the
Company currently pending or which the Company intends to initiate.

     

    4.21                 No
Brokers.  Except
as disclosed in Section 4.21 of the
Disclosure Schedules, neither the Company nor, to the Company's Knowledge, any
Company stockholder is obligated for the payment of fees or expenses of any

Agreement or in connection with any transaction contemplated
hereby.

creditors generally.

     

    4.23                 Related Party
Transactions. Except
as set forth in Section 4.23 of the
Disclosure Schedules, none of the Company or any of its Affiliates, officers,

has any material interest in any property, real or personal, tangible or
intangible, including Company Intellectual Property used in or pertaining to the
business of the Company, except for the normal rights of a stockholder, or, to

transactions between the Company and any of its officers, directors, employees,
Affiliates, or, to the Company's Knowledge, any Affiliate thereof.

     

    (b)           To
the Company's Knowledge, except as set forth in Section 4.23 of the
Disclosure Schedules, no employee, officer or director of the Company or a
Subsidiary has any direct or indirect ownership interest in any firm or
corporation with which the Company is affiliated or with which the Company has a
business relationship, or any firm or corporation that competes with the
Company.  To the Company's Knowledge, no member of the immediate
family of any officer or director of the Company is directly or indirectly
interested in any Material Contract.

     

    (c)           Except
as set forth in Section 4.23(c) of

officers, director, consultants and Key Employees (salary, bonuses or other
forms of compensation).

     

    4.24                 Disclosure. This
Agreement (including exhibits hereto and the financial statements delivered to
Purchaser), the Disclosure Schedules and the certificates and statements
furnished pursuant to this Agreement by or on behalf of the Company do not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a fact
necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made.  To the
Company’s Knowledge, none of the current executive officers or directors of the
Company during the previous five years have been (i) subject to a voluntary or
involuntary petition under the federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency
law or the appointment of a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer by a court
for his or her business or property or (ii) convicted in a criminal proceeding
or named as a subject of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations and other minor offenses).

     

    4.25                 Securities Act. Since
March 31, 2008, the
Company has filed all forms, reports and documents (the "SEC Documents")
required to be filed by it with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act
and/or the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as
the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder
through the date of this Agreement. As of their respective filing dates, the SEC
Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the
Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder applicable to such SEC Documents, and
were complete and correct in all material respects, and none of the SEC
Documents 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.  Subject to the accuracy of Purchaser’s
representations in Article V hereof, the offer, sale and issuance of the
Securities in conformity with the terms of this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents, constitute or will constitute transactions exempt from
the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, and
the qualification or registration requirements of any applicable state
securities laws as such laws exist on the date hereof, and neither the Company
nor any authorized agent acting on its behalf will take any action hereafter
that would cause the loss of such exemption.

    4.26                 Use of
Proceeds.  Except
as set forth on Section 4.26 of the
Disclosure Schedule, the Company will use the proceeds from the sale of the
Securities primarily for working capital, general corporate purposes and acquisitions
previously approved by the Board of Directors and Purchaser and not for the
satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of trade
payables and accrued expenses in the ordinary course of the Company’s Business
and consistent with prior practices), for the redemption of any Common Stock or
securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock, or for
the settlement of any outstanding litigation.

     

    4.27                 SAFE

Disclosure Schedule, there is no shareholder of the Company that is subject to
the registration requirements under (i) Circular 75 issued by the State
Administration of Foreign Exchange of the People’s Republic of China on October
21, 2005, titled “Notice Regarding Certain Administrative Measures on Financing
and Inbound Investment by PRC Residents Through Offshore Special Purpose
Vehicles,” effective as of November 1, 2005 (“Circular 75”), as
amended, (ii) the Interim Regulation on Merger and Acquisition of Domestic
Enterprise by Foreign Investors, promulgated on August 8, 2006 and effective as

do not and will not conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of, or
default (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) under, or give rise to
a right of, or result in, termination, cancellation or acceleration of any
obligation or to a loss of a material benefit under, or result in the creation
of any Lien in or upon any of the properties or assets of Purchaser, or give
rise to any increased, additional, accelerated or guaranteed rights or
entitlements under, any provision of (i) Purchaser’s organizational documents,
as amended, and as in effect on the date hereof, (ii) any agreement to which
Purchaser is a party or otherwise bound or otherwise under which Purchaser has
rights or benefits, or (iii) any Law or Order; in each case applicable to
Purchaser or any of its properties or assets.

option of Purchaser and holders of Series A Preferred Stock, to the board of
directors of any Subsidiaries (including the Chairman of the Board of Directors
of the Company or any Subsidiaries) upon Closing.   A majority of

Refusal.  For a period of two (2) years following the Closing
Date, the Company shall promptly notify (in no event later than five (5) Trading
Days after making or receiving an applicable offer) in writing (a "Rights Notice") each
Series B Purchaser of the terms and conditions of any proposed offer or sale to
any third party by the Company in a transaction that is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, of Common Stock or any debt or
equity securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock (a
“Subsequent
Financing”).  The Rights Notice shall describe, in reasonable
detail, the proposed Subsequent Financing, the names and investment amounts of
all investors participating in the Subsequent Financing, the proposed closing
date of the Subsequent Financing, which shall not be less than ten (10) Trading
Days from the date of the receipt of the Rights Notice by the Series B
Purchasers, and all of the terms and conditions thereof and proposed definitive
documentation to be entered into in connection therewith.  The Rights
Notice shall provide each Series B Purchaser an option (the “Rights Option”)

“Option
Period”) to inform the Company whether such Series B Purchaser will
purchase up to its pro rata portion of all or a portion of the securities being
offered in such Subsequent Financing on the same, absolute terms and conditions
as contemplated by such Subsequent Financing.  If a Series B Purchaser
elects not to participate in such Subsequent Financing, the other Series B
Purchasers may participate on a pro-rata basis so long as such participation in
the aggregate does not exceed the total purchase price that the Series B
Purchasers paid for the purchase of the Series B Preferred Stock
hereunder.

    (a)           For
purposes of this Section, all references to “pro rata” means, for
any Series B Purchaser electing to participate in such Subsequent Financing, the
percentage obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate number of Series B Preferred
Stock purchased by such Series B Purchaser hereunder by (y) the total number of
all of the Series B Preferred Stock purchased by all of the Series B Purchasers
hereunder. 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 Series
B 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 Series B 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 the provisions of this Section 6.13(a), including, without
limitation, the delivery of a new Rights Notice.  The provisions of
this Section 6.13(a) shall not apply to issuances of securities in a Permitted
Financing.

     

    (b)           For
purposes of this Agreement, a Permitted Financing (as defined hereinafter) shall
not be considered a Subsequent Financing.  A "Permitted Financing"
means collectively issuances by the Company of (i) securities issued pursuant to
a bona fide firm underwritten public offering of the Company’s securities;
provided such underwritten public offering shall provide gross proceeds to the
Company of not less than $10,000,000 and shall have been approved in advance by
the Majority Holder, (ii) securities issued (other than for cash) in connection
with a strategic merger, acquisition, or consolidation provided that the
issuance of such securities in connection with such strategic merger,
acquisition or consolidation has been approved in advance by the Majority
Holders, (iii) securities issued or issuable hereunder, or pursuant to the
conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities issued or
outstanding on or prior to the Series A Financing Closing Date or issued
pursuant to the Series A Securities Purchase Agreements (so long as the
conversion or exercise price in such securities are not amended to lower such
price and/or adversely affect the Holders), (iv) securities issued in connection
with bona fide strategic license agreements or other partnering arrangements so
long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and provided
that the issuance of such securities in connection with such bona fide strategic
license, agreements or other partnering arrangements has been approved in
advance by the Majority Holders, (v) Common Stock issued or the issuance or
grants of options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s equity
incentive plans outstanding as they exist on the Closing Date (as defined in the
1st Securities Purchase Agreement), (vi) the issuance or grants of options
to purchase Common Stock to employees, officers or directors of the Company
pursuant to any equity incentive plan duly adopted by the Board of Directors or
a committee thereof established for such purpose so long as such issuances in
the aggregate do not exceed ten percent (10)% of the issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock as of the Closing Date  and the specified
price at which the options may be exercised is equal to or greater than the VWAP
as of the date of such grant, and (vii) any warrants, shares of Common Stock or

    6.14                 Deliveries from Escrow Based
on Income Targets.

    

    (a)           The
Company expects that  the Company’s audited consolidated After-Tax Net
Income for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 shall be at least $5.0
million (the “2009
Target Numbers”).

    

    (b)           As
Purchaser is relying on such expected profit in making its investment hereunder,
and in order to attempt to make whole Purchaser in the event these numbers are
not met, the Company shall deliver to the Escrow Agent at the Closing the Make
Good Escrow Shares (as defined below).

    

    (c)           If
the Company’s audited and consolidated After-Tax Net Income for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2009 does not meet the 2009 Target Number for such
year, and the Percentage Shortfall (as defined below) for such year is less than
fifty percent (50%), but equal or greater than fifteen percent (15%), then an
Adjustment Percentage for such year shall be determined.  For purposes
of this Section, the “Percentage Shortfall”
shall mean the percentage obtained by dividing (w) the
amount of the shortfall of the After-Tax Net Income from the applicable Target
Number by (x)
the applicable Target Number for such year.   For purposes of
this Section, the “Adjustment
Percentage” for 2009 shall mean the percentage that the Percentage
Shortfall for such year bears to fifty percent (50%).  For example, if
the Percentage Shortfall for 2009 is 20%, the Adjustment Percentage would be
40%, and 40% of the total number of Company Deposited Escrow Shares then
required to be in escrow would be delivered to the Purchasers on a pro rata
basis, with the balance being returned to the  Company pursuant to
this Agreement.

    

    (d) The
Parties hereby agree that:

    

    (i)           If
the Percentage Shortfall for 2009 is less than fifty percent (50%) but equal or
greater than fifteen percent (15%), then the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the
Purchaser on a pro rata basis such number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock
as is determined by multiplying the Adjustment Percentage by the Make Good
Escrow Shares and return the balance.  

     

    (ii)          If
the Percentage Shortfall for 2009 is equal to or greater than fifty percent
(50%), then the Escrow Agent shall deliver all of the remaining Make Good Escrow
Shares then held by the Escrow Agent to Purchaser.

     

    (iii)         If
the Percentage Shortfall for 2009 is less than fifteen percent (15%), then all
of the Make Good Escrow Shares shall be returned to the Company for
cancellation.

    
      
         

      

      
        29

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (e) At
the Closing, the Company shall issue and deposit the number of shares of Series
B Preferred Stock equal to 30% of the number of shares of Series B Preferred
Stock issued hereunder to be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the Series B Securities Escrow Agreement (the “Make Good Escrow
Shares”).

    

    (f) The
determination regarding the number and the distribution, if any, of the Make
Good Escrow Shares to be distributed to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section
6.14 shall be made within five (5) Trading Days after the date the Company is
required to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2009 with the Commission
(after giving effect to any extension pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange
Act).  In the event that the Company does not file its Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 with the Commission within
thirty (30) days after the date such filing was required, after giving effect to
any extension pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act, all of Make Good
Escrow Shares shall be delivered to the Purchaser within five (5) Trading Days
following the expiration of such thirty (30) day period.

    

    (g) The
Parties understand that, pursuant to the Series B Securities Escrow Agreement,
the Escrow Agent will not make any deliveries of shares without the signed
written instructions from the Company and the Purchaser.

    

    (h)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.14 or in
the Series B Securities Escrow Agreement, the Parties agree that for purposes of
determining whether or not the Target Numbers have been achieved,

    

    (i) the
release of any or all of the Make Good Escrow Shares shall not be counted as an
expense, charge, or other deduction from revenues in calculating net income even
though GAAP may require contrary treatment,

    

    (ii) any
registration delay payments arising under the Registration Rights Agreement that
are accrued or paid by the Company to any Series B Purchaser will be excluded
from the calculation of net income, and

    

    (i) So
long as the Make Good Escrow Shares remain in escrow, such shares shall not be
counted in calculating a quorum for stockholder voting purposes nor shall such
shares be voted at any meeting of stockholders or included in a written
consent.

    

    6.15                 Performance
Incentive.  Purchaser
shall deposit the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock equal to 2% of
the total number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued hereunder (or
22,328 shares) into a separate escrow account (the “Performance Incentive
Shares”) to be held by the Escrow Agent as performance incentive to the
persons set forth in Schedule 6.15 (the
“Members of the
Management”) attached hereto pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
Series B Securities Escrow Agreement.  If the Company’s audited and
consolidated After-Tax Net Income and Earnings Per Share on a Fully-Diluted
Basis for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 meet the Target Number, the
Performance Incentive Shares shall be converted into Common Stock at the then
applicable Conversion Ratio (as defined in the Series B Certificate) and shall
be distributed to the Members of the Management within ten (10) Trading Days
after the date the Company is required to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the applicable fiscal year with the Commission (after giving effect to any
extension pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act).

Company agrees that (i) the Company shall list and trade its shares of Common
Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market or the Nasdaq Global Market or any successor

an escrow account to be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Series B
Securities Escrow Agreement.  In the event shares of Common Stock are
not listed and trading on a National Stock Exchange by January 31, 2010, the
Listing Shares shall be distributed to the Series B Purchasers on a pro-rata
basis no later than February 28, 2010.

    

    6.17                 Non
Compete.  The
Company and any Affiliated or related entities under the control of the Company
may not, be involved in any business or ventures which in any way may be deemed
to be competitive or have a similar nature in any way to the Company Business
unless such activity is fully within the Company.  Within thirty days
(30) following the Closing, the Company shall, and the Company shall cause its
Affiliated or related entities under the control of the Company to, enter into

Securities.  The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the Securities may be pledged by 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 Purchaser
effecting a pledge of Common Stock shall not 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. At 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 Purchaser.

    

    6.19                 Employment and Consulting

so long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall remain
outstanding,  the Company shall obtain approval from the compensation
committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation

matters for which indemnification is available exceeds $100,000, at which time,
subject to the foregoing cap, it shall be entitled to indemnification for the
total amount of such damages.

    8.3                 Procedures.  If
a third party shall notify an Indemnified Party with respect to any matter that
may give rise to a claim for indemnification under the indemnity set forth above
in Section 8.2, the procedure set forth below shall be
followed.

     

    (a)           Notice.  The
Indemnified Party shall give to the party providing indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”)
written notice of any claim, suit, judgment or matter for which indemnity may be
sought under Section 8.2 promptly but in any event within 30 days after the
Indemnified Party receives notice thereof; provided, however, that failure
by the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying
Party from any liability it shall otherwise have pursuant to this Agreement
except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such
failure.  Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail, if known,
(i) the basis for such potential claim and (ii) the dollar amount of
such claim.  The Indemnifying Party shall have a period of 20 days
within which to respond thereto.  If the Indemnifying Party does not
respond within such 20-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to
have accepted responsibility for such indemnity.

     

    (b)           Defense of
Claim.  With respect to a claim by a third party against an
Indemnified Party for which indemnification may be sought under this Agreement,
the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its option, to be represented by
counsel of its choice and to assume the defense or otherwise control the
handling of any claim, suit, judgment or matter for which indemnity is sought,
which is set forth in the notice sent by the Indemnified Party, by notifying the
Indemnified Party in writing to such effect within 20 days of receipt of such
notice; provided, however, that the
Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel to represent it if, in
the Indemnified Party's reasonable judgment based upon the advice of counsel, it
is advisable in light of the separate interests of the Indemnified Party to be
represented by separate counsel, and in that event the fees and expenses of one
such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party.  If the
Indemnifying Party does not give timely notice in accordance with the preceding
sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have given notice that it
does not wish to control the handling of such claim, suit or
judgment.  In the event the Indemnifying Party elects (by notice in
writing within such 20-day period) to assume the defense of or otherwise control
the handling of any such claim, suit, judgment or matter for which indemnity is
sought, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified
Party from and against any and all fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees,
accountants, consultants and engineering fees) and expenses incurred by the
Indemnifying Party prior to such election.  In the event that the
Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense or otherwise control the handling
of such matter, the Indemnified Party may retain counsel, as an indemnification
expense, to defend such claim, suit, judgment or matter.

     

    (c)           Final
Authority.  Each of the parties shall cooperate in the defense
of any such claim or litigation.  In connection with any claim, suit
or other proceeding with respect to which the Indemnifying Party has assumed the
defense or control, the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any matter which does not
include a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases the
Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto, without the written
consent of the Indemnified Party.  In connection with any claim, suit
or other proceeding with respect to which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed
the defense or control, the Indemnified Party may not compromise or settle such
claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

    MISCELLANEOUS

     

    9.1                 Legend.  The
Company and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that each certificate representing
the Securities may be endorsed with the following legends:

     

    (a)           The
securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or under the
securities laws of certain states. These securities are subject to restrictions
on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as
permitted under the Act and the applicable state securities laws, pursuant to
registration or exemption therefrom. Investors should be aware that they may be
required to bear the financial risks of this investment for an indefinite period
of time. The issuer of these securities may require an opinion of counsel in
form and substance satisfactory to the issuer to the effect that any proposed
transfer or resale is in compliance with the Act and any applicable state
securities laws.

     

    (b)           Any
other legends required by applicable Laws.

     

    The
Company may instruct its transfer agent not to register the transfer of the
Securities, unless the conditions specified in the foregoing legends are
satisfied.

     

    9.2                 Removal of Legend and
Transfer Restrictions.  Any
legend endorsed on a certificate pursuant to Section 9.1 and the stop transfer
instructions with respect to such Securities shall be removed and the Company
shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder thereof (a) if such
Securities are registered under the Securities Act and a prospectus meeting the
requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act is available, (b) if such
legend may be properly removed under the terms of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act, or (c) if such holder provides the Company with an opinion of
counsel for such holder, reasonably satisfactory to legal counsel for the
Company to the effect that a sale, transfer or assignment of such Securities may
be made without registration.

     

    9.3                 Waivers and
Amendments.  All
waivers and amendments hereunder must be made in writing, and failure of any
party at any time to require another party's performance of any obligation under
this Agreement shall not affect the right subsequently to require performance of
that obligation.  Any waiver of any breach of any provision of this
Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding
breach of such provision or a waiver or modification of any other
provision.

    9.4                 Governing
Law.  This
Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York
without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

     

    9.5                 Dispute
Resolution.

     

    (a)           Subject
to Section 9.5(b), any dispute, controversy or claim relating to or arising
under, out of or in connection with this Agreement or the validity,
enforceability, construction, performance or breach of this Agreement (“Dispute”) shall be
determined by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association
(“AAA”) in
accordance with its International Arbitration Rules (“Rules”) then in force
on the date of commencement of the arbitration.  The arbitration shall
be conducted by a panel of three (3) arbitrators appointed in accordance with
the Rules unless the parties otherwise agree that the arbitration may be
conducted by a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with the
Rules.  The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York, and the
language of the arbitration shall be English.  The arbitrators shall
determine the Dispute and render a final award in accordance with the internal
laws of the State of New York.  The award rendered shall be final and
binding on the parties.  The parties agree that any award shall be
enforceable pursuant to the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and
Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards.  The costs of arbitration,
including administrative fees and fees of arbitrators, shall be shared equally
by the parties unless otherwise specified by the arbitrators.  Each
party shall bear the cost of its own attorneys’ and experts’ fees; provided that
the arbitrators may in their discretion award to the prevailing party the costs
and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration
proceeding.

     

    (b)           The
parties recognize that irreparable injury may result from a breach of this
Agreement and that money damages would be inadequate to fully remedy the injury
resulting from such breach.  In order to prevent such injury, the
arbitrators shall have the power to grant temporary or permanent injunctive or
other equitable relief.  Prior to the appointment of the arbitrators a
party may, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, seek temporary
injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction (“Temporary
Relief”).  Any party seeking Temporary Relief shall (if
arbitration has not been commenced) simultaneously commence
arbitration.  Such court ordered Temporary Relief shall not continue
beyond the entry of any temporary or permanent injunctive relief granted by the
arbitrators or any final award by the arbitrators, whichever occurs
first.

     

    9.6                 Successors and
Assigns.  Neither
this Agreement nor any right or obligation hereunder is assignable in whole or
in part, whether by operation of Law or otherwise, by any party without the
express written consent of the other party hereto and any such attempted
assignment shall be void and unenforceable.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Purchaser may transfer or assign this Agreement or any right or
obligation hereunder to an Affiliate or Vicis Capital Master Fund (“Vicis”),
which shall not be deemed an Affiliate of China Hand solely by virtue of this
Section 9.6 and Vicis may assign its rights to any of its affiliates, at any
time prior to or after the Closing.  This Agreement and the rights and
obligations hereunder shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of,
the parties hereto and their respective successors or assignees, and no other
person shall acquire or have any rights under or by virtue of this
Agreement.
