2. Purchaser's Representations and Warranties. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company with respect to only itself that as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date:

(a) Investment Purpose. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, without prejudice, however, to such Purchaser's right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Purchaser to hold the Securities for any period of time. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Purchaser does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any of the Securities.

(b) Accredited Investor Status. Such Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act and was not organized for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities. Such Purchaser is not, nor is it required to be, registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act.

(c) General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

(d) Information. Such Purchaser and its advisors, if any (i) has been furnished with or believes it has had full access to all of the publicly available information that it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Securities, (ii) has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities, (iii) can bear the economic risk of a total loss of its investment in the Securities and (iv) has such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters so as to enable it to understand the risks of and form an investment decision with respect to its investment in the Securities. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Purchaser or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall limit, modify, amend or affect the Company's representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or such Purchaser's right to rely thereon.

(e) Reliance on Exemptions. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Purchaser's compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire the Securities.

(f) No Governmental Review. Such Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.

(g) Transfer or Resale. Such Purchaser understands that, except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom and that, in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, such Securities may only be sold under certain circumstances as set

forth in the Securities Act. In connection therewith, such Purchaser is aware of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and the restrictions imposed thereby.

(h) Legend. Such Purchaser understands that any certificate evidencing Securities shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

[NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN] [THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN] REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THESE SECURITIES AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue the Securities without any such legends to the holder of the Securities, (i) if such Securities are registered for resale under the Securities Act and have been transferred or sold pursuant to an effective registration statement, or (ii) if, in connection with a sale transaction, such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the Securities Act. The Company shall not require such opinion of counsel for the sale of Securities in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided the Seller provides such representations that the Company shall reasonably request confirming compliance with the requirements of Rule 144. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section.

(i) Authorization; Enforcement; Validity. Such Purchaser, if not an individual, is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full right, corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such Purchaser. This Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement have been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors' rights and remedies.

(j) Residency. Such Purchaser, if an individual, is a resident of, or if an entity, is organized under the laws of and with a principal office in, the country or state(s) specified on the Schedule of Purchasers attached hereto as Exhibit A.

(k) No Conflicts. The execution and performance of each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement do not conflict with any agreement to which such Purchaser is a party

or is otherwise bound, any court order or judgment applicable to such Purchaser or, if applicable, the constituent documents of such Purchaser.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Purchaser does not make or has not made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in this Section 2.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to each of the Purchasers that as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, subject to such exceptions as set forth in the Company's Disclosure Schedule attached hereto (the "Disclosure Schedule") or as set forth in the SEC Documents (as defined below):

(a) Organization and Qualification. The Company and its "Subsidiaries" (which, for purposes of this Agreement, means any entity (i) in which the Company, directly or indirectly, owns a majority of the capital stock or other equity or similar interests and (ii) which holds assets that have a total book value exceeding $100,000) are corporations, partnerships or limited liability companies, as applicable, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdictions in which they are incorporated or organized, and have the requisite corporate, partnership or limited liability company, as applicable, power and authority to own their properties and to carry on their business as now being conducted and as described in the SEC Documents. Copies of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, and all amendments thereto, have been filed as exhibits to the Company's SEC Documents, are in full effect and have not been further modified. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, partnership or limited liability company to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted and proposed to be conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement, "Material Adverse Effect" means any material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, operations, results of operations or financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or on the transactions contemplated hereby or by the agreements and instruments to be entered into in connection herewith, or on the authority or ability of the Company to perform on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction Document. A complete list of Subsidiaries is set forth in Section 3(a) of the Disclosure Schedule.

(b) Authorization; Enforcement; Validity. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Warrants and each of the other agreements entered into by the parties hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the "Transaction Documents"), and to issue the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation and performance by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the issuance of the Securities, have been duly authorized by the Company's Board of Directors and no further consent or authorization is required of the Company's Board of Directors or stockholders. The Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Company. The Transaction Documents constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors' rights and remedies.

(c) Capitalization. The capitalization of the Company is as described in the Company's most recent periodic report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") as updated by any current report filed with the Commission thereafter. The Company has not issued any

capital stock since such filings other than pursuant to the exercise of stock options under the Company's stock option plans, the issuance of shares of Common Stock to employees pursuant to the Company's employee stock purchase plan (such issuances and any such stock options, whenever issued or granted, being collectively "Employee Equity Transactions"), pursuant to the conversion or exercise of outstanding securities that are convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, or pursuant to publicly disclosed equity financings. The Company's Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Exchange Act"), and is listed for trading on the Nasdaq National Market. Except for Employee Equity Transactions and as set forth in the SEC Documents, (i) no shares of the Company's capital stock are subject to preemptive rights or any other similar rights or any liens or encumbrances; (ii) there are no outstanding options, warrants, rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, any shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or may become bound to issue additional shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or options, warrants, rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, any shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. There are no securities or instruments containing anti-dilution or similar provisions that will be triggered by the issuance of any of the Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

(d) Issuance of Securities. The Securities are duly authorized and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, will be (i) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and (ii) free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof, other than any liens or encumbrances created by or imposed by the Purchasers, and not subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of stockholders of the Company. The Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement and the Warrants in order to issue the full number of Warrant Shares as are or may become issuable in accordance with the Warrants.

(e) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not (i) result in a violation of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party; (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected; or (iv) result in the imposition of a mortgage, pledge, security interest, encumbrance, charge or other lien (whether arising by contract or operation of law) or any asset of the Company or its Subsidiaries, except for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations, violations and impositions as described in clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this sentence as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(f) SEC Documents; Financial Statements. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, the Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for the twelve (12) months preceding the date hereof (all of the foregoing filed prior to or on the date hereof and all exhibits included therein and financial statements and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein being referred to in this Agreement as the "SEC Documents"). As of the date of filing of each such SEC Document, such SEC Document, as it may have been subsequently amended by filings made by the Company with the SEC prior to the date hereof, complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder applicable to such SEC Document. None of the SEC Documents, as of the date filed and as they may have been subsequently amended by filings made by the Company with the Commission prior to the date hereof, 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied in the United States, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes, may be condensed or summary statements and may be subject to normal year-end adjustments that in the aggregate are not material), correspond to the books and records of the Company and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended.

(g) Absence of Litigation. Except as disclosed in the section titled "Legal Proceedings" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened in writing against the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any of the Company's, (collectively, an "Action") which (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents or the Securities or (ii) would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(h) Regulatory Permits. The Company and its Subsidiaries possess all material certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local and foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC reports, except where the failure to possess such permits would not have or reasonably be expected result in a Material Adverse Affect (the "Permits"), and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has received any notice relating to the revocation or modification of any such Permit.

(i) Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, the laws of the state of its incorporation, the laws of any other state or otherwise that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company's issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers' ownership of the Securities in their respective amounts set forth on Exhibit A.

(j) Transactions with Affiliates. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, and other than Employee Equity Transactions, none of the affiliates, officers, directors or employees of the Company is

presently a party to any agreement or transaction with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than in connection with the provision of services as employees, officers and directors), including without limitation any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any such affiliate, officer, director or employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any such affiliate, officer, director, or employee has a material interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner, such that the transaction would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act.

(k) Brokers and Finders. Except for fees payable to XX Xxxxx Securities Corporation as placement agent (the "Placement Agent"), no brokers, finders or financial advisory fees or commissions will be payable by the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

(l) No Material Non-Public Information. Except for the issuance of the Securities and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or their agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material, non-public information and the Company shall not at any time hereafter provide any of the Purchasers with any such information unless such Purchaser shall have provided advance written consent thereto. The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representations and covenants in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

(m) Company not an "Investment Company". The Company is not, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Securities will not be, an "investment company" or an entity "controlled" by an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(n) Certain Registration Matters. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers' representations and warranties set forth in Section 2(a)-(c), no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Securities by the Company to the Purchasers under the Transaction Documents. The Company is eligible to register the resale of its Common Stock for resale by the Purchasers under Form S-3 promulgated under the Securities Act.

(o) Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Company has not, in the two years preceding the date hereof, received notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements thereof. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with the listing and maintenance requirements for continued listing of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market. The issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder does not contravene the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market and no approval of the shareholders of the Company is required for the Company to issue and deliver to the Purchasers the number of Securities contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

4. Covenants.

By 9:30 a.m. on the first Business Day following the Closing Date, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in the form required by the Exchange Act. "Business Day" means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in the City of New York are required by law to remain closed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission (other than the Registration Statement and any exhibits to filings made in respect of this transaction in accordance with filing requirements under the Exchange Act) or any regulatory agency or securities exchange, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except to the extent such disclosure is required by law or securities exchange regulations.

(f) Violation of Laws. The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity, except where such violations would not result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.

This Agreement, once executed by a party, may be delivered to the other parties hereto by facsimile transmission of a copy of this Agreement bearing the signature of the party so delivering this Agreement.

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

(d) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Warrants and the documents referenced herein and therein constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein and therein. This Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Warrants and the documents referenced herein and therein supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

(e) Consents. All consents and other determinations required to be made by Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement shall be made, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, by Purchasers holding at least a majority of the Securities then outstanding held by Purchasers.

(f) Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and by Purchasers holding at least a majority of the Securities held by Purchasers then outstanding. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Purchaser to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision

of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the Purchasers.

(g) Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

Written confirmation of receipt (A) given by the recipient of such notice, consent, waiver or other communication, (B) mechanically or electronically generated by the sender's facsimile machine containing the time, date, recipient facsimile number and an image of the first page of such transmission, or (C) provided by a courier or overnight courier service shall be rebuttal evidence of personal service, receipt by facsimile or receipt from a nationally recognized overnight delivery service in accordance with clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, respectively.

(h) No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

(i) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(j) Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person other than Placement Agent.

(k) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

(l) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any purchasers of the Securities. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Securities then outstanding. Subject to restrictions on transfer referenced in Section 2 of this Agreement, a Purchaser may assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder with respect to some or all or its Securities without the consent of the Company; provided, however, that the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the applicable provisions of this Agreement and that such assignment shall be in connection with a transfer of all or a portion of the Securities held by such Purchaser.

(m) Survival. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 7(q) of this Agreement, the representations and warranties of the Company and the Purchasers contained in Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement shall survive for a period of two years from the Closing Date. Each Purchaser shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.

(n) Publicity. The Company shall issue a press release regarding the occurrence of this transaction prior to 9:00 a.m. on the first Business Day following the date of this Agreement. Subject to Section 4(e), the Company and Placement Agent shall have the right to approve before issuance any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Placement Agent has the right to describe its services to the Company in connection with this transaction and to reproduce the Company's name and logo in Placement Agent's advertisements, marketing materials and equity research reports, if any, in the form previously approved by the Company and subject to the prior approval of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(o) Expenses. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses it incurs in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Agreement. The Company shall also reimburse the Purchasers, up to a maximum of twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000) in the aggregate for all of the Purchasers, for the Purchasers' reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, fees of legal counsel, incurred by them in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and for which such Purchasers submit invoices to the Company within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date. To be eligible for reimbursement an invoice must be accompanied by an itemized list and reasonable documentation of all such expenses. If eligible invoices for such expenses exceed $25,000 in the aggregate, then the Company shall reimburse each Purchaser a percentage of its expenses incurred in an amount that is pro rata to the dollar amount such Purchaser paid for the Securities hereunder.

(p) Limitation on Issuances of Securities. During the six months following the Closing Date, the Company shall not issue any "Future Priced Securities" as such term is described by NASD IM-4350-1.

(q) Termination. In the event that the Closing shall not have occurred on or before three (3) Business Days from the date hereof due to the Company's or a Purchaser's failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement (and the nonbreaching party's failure to waive such unsatisfied conditions), the nonbreaching party shall have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such breaching party at the close of business on such date without liability of any party to any other party.

(r) Remedies. Each Purchaser and each holder of the Securities shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents, all rights and remedies that such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Purchasers. The Company therefore agrees that the Purchasers shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.

(s) Independent Nature of Purchasers' Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Document. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
