(s) Use of Proceeds. The Company hereby covenants to use the monies raised from the

(t) Delay in Filing or Effectiveness of Registration Statement; Public Information.

	 	(i)	 	If (A) a Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities
(as defined herein) required to be covered thereby and required to be filed by the
Company pursuant to this Agreement is (x) not filed by the Company with the SEC on or
before November 30, 2009 (a “Filing Failure”) or (y) not declared effective by the SEC
on or before the ten-month anniversary of the Final Closing (an “Effectiveness
Failure”) or (B) on any day after the Registration Statement is declared effective by
the SEC (the “Effective Date”) sales of any of the Registrable Securities required to
be included on such Registration Statement cannot be made pursuant to such
Registration Statement or otherwise (including, without limitation, because of a
failure to keep such Registration Statement effective, to disclose such information as
is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement or to
register a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock or any other similar failure)
(a “Maintenance Failure”) then, as partial relief for the damages to the Subscriber by
reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the underlying shares
of Common Stock (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available
at law or in equity), the Company shall issue to the Subscriber additional shares of
Common Stock equal to ten percent (10.0%) of the aggregate Subscribed Shares included
in such Registration Statement on each of the following dates: (I) the day of a Filing
Failure and on every thirtieth day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty
(30) days) thereafter until the date such Filing Failure is cured; (II) the day of an
Effectiveness Failure and on every thirtieth day (pro rated for periods totaling less
than thirty (30) days) thereafter until the date such Effectiveness Failure is cured;
and (III) the initial day of a Maintenance Failure and on every thirtieth day (pro
rated for periods totaling less than thirty (30) days) thereafter until the date such
Maintenance Failure is cured. The payments to which a Subscriber shall be entitled to
pursuant to this paragraph (i) are referred to herein “Registration Delay Payments.”
The calculation of the Registration Delay Payments pursuant to this paragraph shall be
cumulative so that the number of shares to be issued to the Subscriber as a result of
a Filing Failure, Effectiveness Failure or a Maintenance Failure in the first month
shall be added to the Subscribed Shares in order to determine the number of shares to
be issued to the Subscriber in the second month. As an example, if the initial number
of Subscribed Shares was Two Million shares, the damages on the day of the

failure would be 200,000 shares and the damages after thirty days would be 220,000 shares
and so on. Shares of Common Stock issued to the Subscriber as Registration Delay Payments
shall be issued on the earlier of (x) the last day of the calendar month during which such
Registration Delay Payments are incurred and (y) the third business day after the event or
failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is cured. In the event the Company
fails to issue the shares of Common Stock representing the Registration Delay Payments in a
timely manner, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of one
percent (1.5%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. The parties
agree that there is no maximum aggregate Registration Delay Payments payable to the
Subscriber under this Agreement. In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, if the Company has received a comment by the SEC requiring the Subscriber
to be named as an underwriter in the Registration Statement (which notwithstanding the
reasonable best efforts of the Company is not withdrawn by the SEC) and such Subscriber
elects in writing not to be named as a selling stockholder in the Registration Statement,
the Subscriber shall not be entitled to any Registration Delay Payments with respect to
such Registration Statement.

	 	(ii)	 	At any time during the period commencing on the six (6) month anniversary of the Final
Closing Date and ending at such time that all of the Registrable Securities can be sold
without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without
restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144(c), including, if applicable, Rule 144(i), if a
registration statement is not available for the resale of all of the Registrable Securities
and the Company shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information
requirement under Rule 144 (a “Public Information Failure”) then, as partial relief for the
damages to the Subscriber by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell
the Registrable Securities of the Subscriber (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other
remedies available at law or in equity), the Company shall pay to the Subscriber damages
calculated as described in paragraph (i) hereof. The payments to which a holder shall be
entitled pursuant to this paragraph (ii) are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure
Payments.” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (x) the last
day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred
and (y) the third business day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public
Information Failure Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Public
Information Failure Payments in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments
shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in
full.

10. Registration Rights.

10.1
Promptly after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC

The Company shall use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the

10.2 The Company will promptly prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements
to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary

10.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents the Company from including any or all of the
Registrable Securities on the Registration Statement due to limitations on the
use of Rule 415 under the 1933 Act for the resale of the Registrable Securities by the
Subscribers, the Company shall seek to register on the Registration Statement the maximum number
of Registrable Securities as is permitted by the SEC, and, subject to this Section, the Company
shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to register all remaining Registrable
Securities as soon as the SEC permits such registration. In such event, the number of shares of
Common Stock to be registered for each Subscriber in the Registration Statement shall be reduced
pro rata among all Subscribers and the Company shall register as many shares of Common
Stock as it is permitted to register, prior to including any shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants. If the SEC, by written or oral comment or otherwise, limits the
Company’s ability to file, or prohibits the filing of a Registration Statement with respect to
any or all the Registrable Securities which were not included in the Registration Statement, it
shall not be a breach or default by the Company under this Agreement and shall not be deemed a
failure by the Company to use “best efforts” as set forth above or elsewhere in this Agreement.

10.4 In order to enable the Subscriber to sell the Shares under Rule 144, for a period of two
years from the Final Closing Date, use its best efforts to comply with the requirements of Rule
144, including without limitation, use its best efforts to comply with the requirements of Rule
144(c) with respect to public information about the Company and to timely file all reports
required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act.

10.5 Each Subscriber agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the
happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement,
as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, such Subscriber will immediately
discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement covering
such Registrable Securities until such Subscriber’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or
amended prospectus or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required. Each
Subscriber covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of
the 1933 Act as applicable to it or an exemption therefrom in connection with sales of Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(t) Delay in Filing or Effectiveness of Registration Statement; Public Information.

	 	(i)	 	If (A) a Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities (as
defined herein) required to be covered thereby and required to be filed by the Company
pursuant to this Agreement is (x) not filed by the Company with the SEC on or before
November 30, 2009 (a “Filing Failure”) or (y) not declared effective by the SEC on or
before the ten-month anniversary of the Final Closing (an “Effectiveness Failure”) or
(B) on any day after the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC (the
“Effective Date”) sales of any of the Registrable Securities required to be included on
such Registration Statement cannot be made pursuant to such Registration Statement or
otherwise (including, without limitation, because of a failure to keep such Registration
Statement effective, to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made
pursuant to such Registration Statement or to register a sufficient number of shares of
Common Stock or any other similar failure) (a “Maintenance Failure”) then, as partial
relief for the damages to the Subscriber by reason of any such delay in or reduction of
its ability to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock (which remedy shall not be
exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity), the Company shall issue
to the Subscriber additional shares of Common Stock equal to ten percent (10.0%) of the
aggregate Subscribed Shares included in such Registration Statement on each of the
following dates: (I) the day of a Filing Failure and on every thirtieth day (pro rated
for periods totaling less than thirty (30) days) thereafter until the date such Filing
Failure is cured; (II) the day of an Effectiveness Failure and on every thirtieth day
(pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty (30) days) thereafter until the date
such Effectiveness Failure is cured; and (III) the initial day of a Maintenance Failure
and on every thirtieth day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty (30) days)
thereafter until the date such Maintenance Failure is cured. The payments to which a
Subscriber shall be entitled to pursuant to this paragraph (i) are referred to herein
“Registration Delay Payments.” The calculation of the Registration Delay Payments
pursuant to this paragraph shall be cumulative so that the number of shares to be issued
to the Subscriber as a result of a Filing Failure, Effectiveness Failure or a
Maintenance Failure in the first month shall be added to the Subscribed Shares in order
to determine the number of shares to be issued to the Subscriber in the second month. As
an example, if the initial number of Subscribed Shares was Two Million shares, the
damages on the day of the failure would be 200,000 shares and the damages after thirty
days would be 220,000 shares and so on. Shares of Common Stock issued to the Subscriber
as Registration Delay Payments shall be issued on the earlier of (x) the last day of the
calendar month during which such Registration Delay Payments are incurred and (y) the
third business day after the event or failure giving rise to the Registration Delay
Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to issue the shares of Common Stock
representing the Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner, such Registration Delay
Payments shall bear interest at the rate of one percent (1.5%) per month (prorated for
partial months) until paid in full. The parties agree that there is no maximum aggregate
Registration Delay Payments payable to the Subscriber under this Agreement. In addition,
and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company has
received a comment by the SEC requiring the Subscriber to be named as an underwriter in
the Registration Statement (which notwithstanding the reasonable best efforts of the
Company is not withdrawn by the SEC) and such Subscriber elects in writing not to be
named as a selling stockholder in the Registration Statement, the Subscriber shall not
be entitled to any Registration Delay Payments with respect to such Registration
Statement.

	 	(ii)	 	At any time during the period commencing on the six (6) month
anniversary of the Final Closing Date and ending at such time that all of the
Registrable Securities can be sold without the requirement to be in compliance
with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to
Rule 144(c), including, if applicable, Rule 144(i), if a registration statement
is not available for the resale of all of the Registrable Securities and the
Company shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information
requirement under Rule 144 (a “Public Information Failure”) then, as partial
relief for the damages to the Subscriber by reason of any such delay in or
reduction of its ability to sell the Registrable Securities of the Subscriber
(which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in
equity), the Company shall pay to the Subscriber damages calculated as described
in paragraph (i) hereof. The payments to which a holder shall be entitled
pursuant to this paragraph (ii) are referred to herein as “Public Information
Failure Payments.” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the
earlier of (x) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public
Information Failure Payments are incurred and (y) the third business day after
the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is
cured. In the event the Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments
in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest
at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.

(u) The Company certifies that each of the foregoing representations and warranties set

offered in reliance upon representation, warranties and covenants of each of the parties hereto,
the exemptions under applicable securities laws; that the availability of such exemptions are, in
part, dependent upon the truthfulness and accuracy of the representations made by the undersigned
herein; that the Company will rely on such representations in accepting any subscriptions for the
Securities, and that the Company may take such steps as it considers reasonable to verify the
accuracy and truthfulness of such representations in advance of accepting or rejecting the
undersigned’s subscription. The undersigned agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company

and there is no assurance that the Company will succeed, become profitable or that investors in the

SUSTAIN A LOSS OF HIS ENTIRE INVESTMENT.

9.4 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of
the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule

the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. The parties further: (a) agree
that any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be
instituted exclusively in any Federal or State court of competent jurisdiction within the State of

suit, action or proceeding, and (c) irrevocably consent to the in personam jurisdiction of any
Federal or State court of competent jurisdiction within the State of New York in any such suit,
action or proceeding. The parties each further agree to accept and acknowledge service of any

parties mailed by certified mail to their respective addresses shall be deemed in every respect
effective service of process upon the parties, in any action or proceeding.

10. Registration Rights.

10.1 Promptly after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file with the
SEC (the “Filing Date”) a registration statement on
Form S-1 (or, if the Company is then eligible,
on Form S-3) (the “Registration Statement”) covering the resale of all of the Shares purchased
hereunder and the resale of all the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”).
The Company shall use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the
SEC in a timely manner.

10.2 The Company will promptly prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements
to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary
to keep the Registration Statement effective until the earlier of (a) the date as of which the
Subscriber may sell all of the Shares covered by such Registration Statement without restriction
pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement to be in
compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (or any
successor thereto) promulgated under the Securities Act or (b) the date on which the Subscriber
shall have sold all of the Shares covered by the Registration Statement. For the purpose of this
Section 10, the term “Subscriber” means the Subscriber or any transferee or assignee thereof to
whom the Subscriber assigns its rights as a holder of Shares under this Agreement and who agrees to
become bound by the provisions of this Agreement and any transferee or assignee thereof to whom a
transferee or assignee assigns its rights as a holder of Shares under this Agreement and who agrees
to become bound by the provisions of this Agreement.

10.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents the Company from including any or all
of the Registrable Securities on the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule
415 under the 1933 Act for the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Subscribers, the Company
shall seek to register on the Registration Statement the maximum number of Registrable Securities
as is permitted by the SEC, and, subject to this Section, the Company shall continue to use
commercially reasonable efforts to register all remaining Registrable Securities as soon as the SEC
permits such registration. In such event, the number of shares of Common Stock to be registered for
each Subscriber in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all
Subscribers and the Company shall register as many shares of Common Stock as it is permitted to
register, prior to including any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. If
the SEC, by written or oral comment or otherwise, limits the Company’s ability to file, or
prohibits the filing of a Registration Statement with respect to any or all the Registrable
Securities which were not included in the Registration Statement, it shall not be a breach or
default by the Company under this Agreement and shall not be deemed a failure by the Company to use
“best efforts” as set forth above or elsewhere in this Agreement.

10.4 In order to enable the Subscriber to sell the Shares under Rule 144, for a period of two
years from the Final Closing Date, use its best efforts to comply with the requirements of Rule
144, including without limitation, use its best efforts to comply with the requirements of Rule
144(c) with respect to public information about the Company and to timely file all reports required
to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act.

10.5 Each Subscriber agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the
happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement,
as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, such Subscriber will immediately
discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement covering
such Registrable Securities until such Subscriber’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or
amended prospectus or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required. Each
Subscriber covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of
the 1933 Act as applicable to it or an exemption therefrom in connection with sales of Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.
