5.1 Accredited Investor. Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Purchaser is purchasing the Units for its own account or for the account of its customers, each of whom is an “accredited investor” and not with a view toward, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the registration requirements of the Securities Act, without prejudice, however, to Purchaser’s right, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Units. Purchaser does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to the Units.

5.2 No Brokers. Other than Xxxxx Xxxxxx & Co., Inc. (as placement agent on behalf of the Company) and any subagents it may appoint pursuant to the Offering Materials, no finder, broker, agent, financial person or other intermediary has acted on behalf of Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Units by Purchaser or the consummation of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser has not had any direct or indirect contact with any other investment banking firm (or similar firm) with respect to the offer of the Units by the Company to Purchaser or Purchaser’s subscription for the Units.

Purchaser confirms that it is able to (i) bear the economic risk of this investment, as well as other risk factors as more fully set forth herein and in the Offering Materials, (ii) hold the Units for an indefinite period of time and (iii) bear a complete loss of Purchaser’s investment; and Purchaser represents that it has sufficient liquid

assets so that the illiquidity associated with this investment will not cause any undue financial difficulties or affect Purchaser’s ability to provide for its current needs and possible financial contingencies, and that Purchaser’s commitment to all high risk investments (including this one if this subscription is accepted by the Company) is reasonable in relation to Purchaser’s net worth and/or annual income.

5.4 Access to Information. Purchaser acknowledges that it has (i) received, read carefully and is fully familiar with the Offering Materials, including, without limitation, the risk factors set forth in the Offering Materials, this Agreement and all other materials furnished herewith; (ii) been afforded the opportunity to ask the questions it deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of the Offering; and (iii) been afforded the opportunity to request additional information concerning the Company as the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense. However, the Company agrees that such access and opportunity shall in no way limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 6 or the right of any Purchaser to rely on them.

5.5 No General Solicitation. Purchaser did not (i) receive or review any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in a newspaper or magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, whether closed circuit, or generally available, with respect to the Units or (ii) attend any seminar, meeting or investor or other conference whose attendees were, to Purchaser’s knowledge, invited by any general solicitation or general advertising with respect to the Units.

5.6 Investment Experience. Either by reason of Purchaser’s business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of its professional advisors (who are unaffiliated with and are not compensated by the Company or any affiliate, finder or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly), Purchaser has the capacity to protect Purchaser’s interests in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.7 Organization, Good Standing, Authorization. If Purchaser is an entity, it is a corporation, limited liability company, trust or partnership or other similar entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction. Purchaser has full power and authority (corporate or otherwise) to execute, deliver and enter into this Agreement and to purchase the Units. The execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action on the part of Purchaser. If Purchaser is an individual, Purchaser has the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement and is a bona fide resident of the state shown in the address set forth in Exhibit A. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms.

5.8 No Conflicts. No court or governmental injunction, order or decree affecting Purchaser and prohibiting the execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is in effect, and the terms of this Agreement do not conflict with the provision of the Certificate or Articles of Incorporation or

By-laws (or comparable charter, partnership or other organizational documents) of Purchaser, or conflict with, or result in a material breach or violation of, any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a material default under, any material lease, loan agreement, mortgage, security agreement, trust indenture or other agreement or instrument to which Purchaser is a party.

5.9 Consents, Approvals, etc. No material consent, approval, license, permit, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any court, administrative agency or commission or other governmental authority or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, remains to be obtained or is otherwise required to be obtained by Purchaser in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation the purchase and sale of the Units.

5.10 No Registration. Purchaser is aware that the Units have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state or foreign securities or “blue sky” laws, that the Units will be issued on the basis of the statutory exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, or both, relating to transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering and under similar exemptions under certain state securities or “blue sky” laws, that neither the Offering Materials nor the terms of the Offering have been reviewed by, passed on or submitted to any federal or state agency or self-regulatory organization where an exemption is being relied upon, and that the Company’s reliance thereon is based, in part, upon the truth, completeness and accuracy of the representations made by Purchaser in this Agreement. In this connection, Purchaser understands that it is the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) that the statutory basis for such exemption would not be present if Purchaser’s representation merely meant that its present intention was to hold such securities for any specified period, such as the capital gains period of tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for a market rise or for any other fixed period. Purchaser realizes that, in the view of the Commission, a purchase now with an intent to resell would represent a purchase with an intent inconsistent with Purchaser’s representation to the Company, and the Commission might regard such purchase by Purchaser as a transaction to which an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act would not be available.

5.11 Tax Consequences. Purchaser acknowledges that the Offering may involve tax consequences and that the contents of the Offering Materials do not contain tax advice or related tax or economic information. Purchaser confirms that it is not relying on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents with respect to the tax and other economic considerations of an investment in the Units and acknowledges that Purchaser must retain its own professional advisors to evaluate the federal, state and local tax and other economic considerations of an investment in the Units. Purchaser also acknowledges that it is solely responsible for any of its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.12 No Inquiry. Purchaser acknowledges that the Company will review this Agreement and the Questionnaire without making any independent investigation and that the

representations, warranties and agreements made by Purchaser herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the purchase of the Units.

5.13 Non-U.S. Persons. If Purchaser is not a United States person, such Purchaser hereby represents that it is satisfied as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Units or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Units, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Units. Such Purchaser further represents that its subscription and payment for, and continued beneficial ownership of, the Units will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of Purchaser’s jurisdiction. Purchaser understands that the Company has made no efforts and undertakes no responsibility or obligation to determine and comply with the applicable laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction relating to the sale of the Units or the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 7. Registration of Common Stock.

7.1 Registrable Securities. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Registrable Securities” means (a) the Shares, (b) the Common Stock Warrants, (c) the Warrant Shares, (d) the Price Reset Shares and (e) shares of Common Stock issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to or in replacement of the Shares, the Common Stock Warrants or the Warrant Shares; provided that (i) any shares of Common Stock will cease to be Registrable Securities, and (ii) the Company will not be obligated to maintain the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement (as defined below), and the Company’s obligations under Section 7.2 will cease, with respect to a holder’s (a “Holder”) Registrable Securities following the earlier of (x) the date by which all Registrable Securities registered under the Resale Registration Statement have been sold, (y) the date on which the Company delivers an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and its counsel that the Holder may sell in a single transaction all Registrable Securities then held or issuable to the Holder on a registered securities exchange or Nasdaq market under an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or otherwise) without being subject to the volume limitations of Rule 144(k) and (z) 5 years from the date of issuance of the Units. The period of time during which the Company is required to keep the Resale Registration Statement (as defined below) effective is referred to as the “Registration Period.”

7.2 Registration. The Company will as soon as practicable following the Closing Date but not later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Period”), file with the Commission a resale registration statement on Form X-0, X-0, X-0 or successor form or another form selected by the Company that is available to it under the Securities Act (the “Resale

Registration Statement”) with respect to the Registrable Securities beneficially owned by Purchasers following the Closing to permit the resale of such securities in accordance with the methods of distribution provided by the Holders. The Company may amend the Resale Registration Statement from time to time to register securities other than Registrable Securities for sale for the account of any person or entity; provided, however, that the amendment will be permitted only so long as the Commission rules provide that the amendment does not give the Commission the right to review the Resale Registration Statement.

7.3 Registration Procedures. In connection with the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in this Section 7, the Company will use its best efforts to:

(a) cause the Resale Registration Statement (and any other related registrations, qualifications or compliance’s as may be reasonably requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all Registrable Securities until the distribution thereof is complete) to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof but not later than December 31, 2003 (the “Scheduled Effective Date”) and remain effective until no longer required under Section 7.1 (the “Effectiveness Period”). In the event the Company fails to have the Resale Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC by the Scheduled Effective Date (except where the failure to meet such deadline is the result primarily of actions or omissions by the holders of the Registrable Securities), then the Company shall pay each holder of Registrable Securities for each 30-day period that the Resale Registration Statement remains ineffective an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the original purchase price attributable to those Registrable Securities. This penalty shall be pro-rated for any portion of a 30-day period that the Resale Registration Statement is not effective after the Scheduled Effective Date. The Company shall pay such amount either in cash or in shares of Common Stock, at the discretion of the Company, on demand by a holder of Registrable Securities made at any time during the continuance or after termination of this registration default. If paid in Common Stock, the Common Stock shall be valued at the average of the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the Company’s principal market for the five most recent trading days prior to the end of each 30-day period, or pro rata part thereof.;

(b) prepare and file with the Commission the amendments and supplements to the Resale Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith and take all other actions as may be reasonably necessary to keep the Resale Registration Statement continuously effective until the disposition of all securities in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Holder or Holders thereof set forth in the Resale Registration Statement will be completed, and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act (to the extent applicable to the Company) with respect to the dispositions;

(c) furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities a reasonable number of copies of the Resale Registration Statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto, a number of copies of the prospectus included in the Resale Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus), in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and the other documents (including exhibits to any of the foregoing), as the Holder may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by Holder;

(d) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Resale Registration Statement under blue sky laws of the various states as any Holder reasonably requests, and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable a Holder to consummate the disposition in the states the Registrable Securities owned by Holder, except that the Company will not be required to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not, but for the requirements of this Section 7.3(d), be obligated to be qualified, to subject itself to taxation in any the jurisdiction, or to consent to general service of process in any the jurisdiction;

(e) provide a transfer agent and registrar for the Registrable Securities covered by the Resale Registration Statement not later than the effective date of the Resale Registration Statement;

(f) notify the Holders promptly, and confirm such notice in writing, (i) when a prospectus as contained in the Resale Registration Statement (“Prospectus”) or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a Resale Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Resale Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification or any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, (iv) of the existence of any fact or the happening of any event that makes any statement made in such Resale Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or which requires the making of any changes in such Resale Registration Statement, Prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the Resale Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (v) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Resale Registration Statement would be appropriate.

(g) comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and make generally available its security holders earning statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder no later than 45 days after the end of any twelve (12) month period (or ninety (90) days after the end of any twelve (12) month period if such period is a fiscal year) commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of the Company, after the effective date of the Resale Registration Statement, which statements shall cover said twelve (12) month period.

(h) cause all Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or automated over-the-counter trading system on which similar securities issued by the Company

are now listed and to undertake commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such listing for so long as any Purchaser holds any Shares or Warrant Shares;

(i) enter into customary agreements (including, in the event the Holders elect to engage an underwriter in connection with the Resale Registration Statement, an underwriting agreement containing customary terms and conditions) and take all other actions as reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable for any underwriter’s fees, commissions and discounts or similar expenses;

(j) make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement at the earliest possible time; and

(k) until the date of the filing of the Resale Registration Statement, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent, refrain from selling, contracting to sell or otherwise disposing of or issuing any securities of the Company, except pursuant to previously issued options, warrants, any agreements providing for anti-dilution or other share issuance rights in existence on the date hereof, any employee benefit or similar plan of the Company in existence on the date hereof, or any strategic investment and/or alliance transactions, acquisitions or joint ventures into which the Company may enter.

7.4. Rule 144. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to:

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act;

(b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and

(c) so long as a Holder owns any unregistered Registrable Securities, furnish to the Holder upon any reasonable request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the public information requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and or the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and the other Commission reports and documents of the Company as the Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing a Holder to sell any Registrable Securities without registration (excluding any reports or documents of the Company that the Company, in its sole discretion, deems confidential).

7.5 Registration and Selling Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Section 7, including, without limitation, (i) all Commission registration and filing fees, (ii) blue sky fees and expenses, (iii) all necessary printing and duplicating expenses and (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants retained on behalf of the Company (all expenses being called

“Registration Expenses”), will be paid by the Company. The Company shall not be liable for any fees, discounts or commissions to any underwriter or any fees or disbursements of counsel for any underwriter in respect of the securities sold by each Holder. Each Holder may, at its election, retain its own counsel and other representatives and advisors as it chooses at its own expense.

7.6 No Delay. The Holders will have no right to take any action to restrain, enjoin or otherwise delay any registration pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof as a result of any dispute, controversy or other matter that may arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement.

7.7 Certain Obligations of Holders. (a) Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of (i) any event of the kind described in Sections 7.3(f)(ii), 7.3(f)(iii), 7.3(f)(iv) or 7.3(f)(v) hereof, or (ii) a determination by the Company’s Board of Directors that it is advisable to suspend use of the Prospectus for a discrete period of time due to pending corporate developments such as negotiation of a material transaction which the Company in its sole discretion after consultation with legal counsel, determines it would be obligated to disclose in the Resale Registration Statement, which disclosure the Company believes would be premature or otherwise inadvisable at such time or would have a material adverse effect on the Company and its stockholders, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities covered by the Resale Registration Statement or Prospectus until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 7.3(b) hereof, or until such Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus. The period of time in which the use of a Prospectus or Resale Registration Statement is so suspended shall be referred to as a “Black-Out Period.” The Company agrees to so advise such Holder promptly of the commencement and termination of any such Black-Out Period, and Purchasers agree to keep the fact of such Black-Out Period confidential. The Company shall not impose a Black-Out Period under this Section 7.7 for more than forty-fix (45) consecutive days and not more than twice in any given twelve (12) month period.

(b) As a condition to the inclusion of its Registrable Securities, each Holder will furnish to the Company the information regarding the Holder and the intended method of distribution of the securities as the Company may from time to time request and as is legally required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Section 7.

(c) Each Holder hereby covenants with the Company not to make any sale of the Registrable Securities without effectively causing the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act to be satisfied.

(d) Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement are not transferable on the books of the Company unless the stock certificate submitted to the transfer agent evidencing the Registrable Securities is

accompanied by a certificate reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that (i) the Registrable Securities have been sold in accordance with this Agreement and the Resale Registration Statement and (ii) the requirement of delivering a current prospectus has been satisfied.

(e) Each Holder is hereby advised that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of the Registrable Securities offered pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement and agrees not to take any action with respect to any distribution deemed to be made pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement that constitutes a violation of Regulation M under the Exchange Act or any other applicable rule, regulation or law.

(f) At the end of the Registration Period, the Holders of Registrable Securities included in the Resale Registration Statement shall discontinue sales of shares pursuant thereto upon receipt of notice from the Company of its intention to remove from registration the shares covered thereby which remain unsold, and the Holders shall promptly notify the Company of the number of shares registered that remain unsold immediately upon receipt of the notice from the Company.

(g) The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities granted to the Holders by the Company under Section 7.2 may be assigned in whole or in part by a Holder in connection with the transfer of such Registrable Securities, provided, that: (i) the transfer of the Registrable Securities and the rights to register such Registrable Securities are effected in accordance with applicable securities laws, (ii) the transfer involves not less than the lesser of all of the Holder’s Registrable Securities or 25,000 shares of Common Stock of the Registrable Securities, (iii) the Holder gives prior written notice to the Company, and (iv) the transferee agrees to comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement in a written instrument satisfactory in form and substance to the Company and its counsel. Except as specifically permitted by this Section 7.7, the rights of a Holder with respect to Registrable Securities will not be transferable to any other person or entity, and any attempted transfer will cause all rights of the Holder therein to be forfeited, void ab initio and of no further force and effect.

(h) With the written consent of the Company and the Holders holding at a majority interest of the Registrable Securities that are then outstanding, any provision of this Section 7 may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely) or amended. Upon the effectuation of each waiver or amendment, the Company will promptly give written notice thereof to the Holders, if any, who have not previously received notice thereof or consented thereto in writing.

7.8 Indemnification. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, and each person, if any, who controls such Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and each of its and their respective directors, officers, partners, principals, trustees and attorneys (individually, an “Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including cost of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and

expenses (collectively, “Losses”) to which any Indemnified Party may become subject whether or not involving a third-party claim, insofar as such Losses arise out of, in any way relate to, or result from (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) the failure of the Company to fulfill any agreement or covenant contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement. The Company agrees to reimburse any Indemnified Party for all such Losses, other than third-party claims which procedure is described in Section 7.8(f), as they are incurred or suffered by such Indemnified Party. The representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall survive until the later of (i) the eighteenth (18^th) month anniversary of the date hereof and (ii) the date that the Company files its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, and thereafter shall be no further force or effect, provided that the representations and warranties made by the Company contained in Sections 6.14, 6.19 and 6.20 shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and the representations and warranties made by the Company in Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.23 shall survive indefinitely. Following the expiration of the periods set forth above with respect to any particular representation or warranty, the Company shall not have any further liability with respect to such representation or warranty.

(b) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and each of its and their respective directors, officers, partners, principals, trustees and attorneys (individually, a “Company Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses to which any Company Indemnified Party may become subject whether or not involving a third-party claim, insofar as such Losses arise out of, in any way relate to, or result from (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the indemnifying Purchaser contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) the failure of the indemnifying Purchaser to fulfill any agreement or covenant contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement. Each Purchaser agrees to reimburse any Company Indemnified Party for all such Losses, other than third-party claims which procedure is described in Section 7.8(f), as they are incurred or suffered by such Company Indemnified Party.

(c) Except as set forth herein, all of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the parties hereto shall survive the Closing indefinitely (or if indefinite survival is not permitted by law, then for the maximum period permitted by applicable law).

(d) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Securities, each person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, their respective officers, directors, partners, members, stockholders and trustees, against any Losses to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act of other federal or state law, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (any of the following, a “Violation”): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities

law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law. The Company, however, shall not be liable in any such case for any such Losses (or action in respect thereof) to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon a Violation which arises out of or is based upon information furnished in writing expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Holder or controlling person, as the case may be; provided, further, that the Company will not be liable to any Holder or its officers, directors, partners, members, stockholders and trustees, with respect to any Losses arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in any preliminary prospectus which is corrected in an amended, supplemented or final prospectus if the purchaser asserting such Losses purchased from such Holder, and was not, due to the fault of such Holder, sent or given a copy of such amended, supplemented or final prospectus at or prior to the sale of Registrable Securities to such purchaser.

(e) In connection with any registration statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each Holder will furnish to the Company in writing the information as is reasonably requested by the Company for use in any the registration statement or prospectus and will severally, but not jointly, indemnify, the Company Indemnified Parties, against any Losses resulting from any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact required to be stated in the registration statement or prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent the Losses are caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with the written information so furnished by such Holder and stated specifically for use in connection with the preparation of the registration statement or prospectus; provided, however, that such Holder shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that prior to the filing of any such registration statement or prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, such Holder has furnished in writing to the Company information expressly for use in such registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto which corrected or made not misleading information previously furnished to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, in no event will a Holder of Registrable Securities be liable for any of the Losses in excess of the net proceeds received by the Holder in connection with its disposition of Registrable Securities.

(f) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7.8 of notice of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, including, without limitation, the commencement of any action or proceeding, the indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof may be made against the indemnifying party under this Section, promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided that the failure of the indemnified party to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from its obligations under this Section except to the extent that the indemnifying party is adversely affected by the failure. In case any action or proceeding is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party and its counsel will conduct the defense of any action with counsel approved by the indemnifying party although the indemnified party will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense, and after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its

election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section for any legal or any other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless incurred at the written request of the indemnifying party. Notwithstanding the above, the indemnified party will have the right to employ counsel of its own choice in any action or proceeding (and be reimbursed by the indemnifying party for the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel and other reasonable costs of the defense) if representation of the indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests or conflicts between the indemnified party and any other party represented by the counsel in the action or proceeding or counsel to the indemnified party is of the opinion that it would not be desirable for the same counsel to represent both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party because the representation might result in a conflict of interest; provided, however, that the indemnifying party will not in connection with any one action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all indemnified parties, except to the extent that local counsel, in addition to regular counsel, is required in order to effectively defend against the action or proceeding. An indemnifying party will not be liable to any indemnified party for any settlement or entry of judgment concerning any action or proceeding effected without the consent of the indemnifying party.

(g) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.8 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable under applicable law to an indemnified party in respect of any Losses, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, will contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of the Losses in the proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Indemnified Parties on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in the Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations including the relative benefits to the parties. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Indemnified Parties on the other will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Indemnified Parties and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent the statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses referred to above will be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.8(f), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by the party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. No person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity that is not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event will a Holder be liable under this Section 7.8 for any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by the Holder in connection with its sale of Registrable Securities.

Section 8. Legends. Purchaser acknowledges that the certificates evidencing the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares shall bear the following, or substantially similar, legends and such other legends as may be required by state securities or “blue sky” laws:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY” LAWS AND NEITHER SUCH SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY” LAWS, OR (2) THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER OF SUCH SECURITIES, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY” LAWS.”

Section 9. Termination.

9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time with respect to the applicable parties prior to the Closing:

(a) by mutual written agreement of the Company and Purchasers;

10.2 Successors and Assigns. Subject to Section 7.7(g), this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and to their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

10.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding among the parties as to the subject matter hereof and merges and supersedes all prior discussions, agreements and understandings of any and every nature among them; provided that any confidentiality agreement between the Company and any of Purchasers shall remain in effect. This Agreement may be amended only by mutual written agreement of the Company and Purchasers holding a majority interest of the Registrable Securities, and the Company may take any action herein prohibited or omit to take any action herein required to be performed by it, and any breach of any covenant, agreement, warranty or representation may be waived, only if the Company has obtained the written consent or waiver of Purchasers.

10.4 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; etc. (a) Notwithstanding the place where this Agreement may be executed by any of the parties hereto, the parties expressly agree that all the terms and provisions hereof shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to that State’s conflicts of law principles. In the event that a judicial proceeding is necessary, the parties who are not citizens or residents of the

United States agree that the sole forum for resolving disputes arising out of or relating to this agreement is the federal or state courts in the State of Delaware, and all related appellate courts (collectively, the “Courts”), and each Purchaser irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the jurisdiction of the Courts.

(b) Each of the parties who are not citizens or residents of the United States, irrevocably and unconditionally consents to venue in the Courts, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any judicial proceeding in the Courts, and agrees not to plead or claim in any Court that any judicial proceeding brought in any court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

10.5 Severability. The holding of any provision of this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction will not affect any other provision of this Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect. If any provision of this Agreement is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced in whole or in part, the provision will be interpreted so as to remain enforceable to the maximum extent permissible consistent with applicable law and the remaining conditions and provisions or portions thereof will nevertheless remain in full force and effect and enforceable to the extent they are valid, legal and enforceable, and no provisions will be deemed dependent upon any other covenant or provision unless so expressed herein.

10.6 No Waiver. A waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not operate, or be construed, as a waiver of any subsequent breach by that same party.

10.7 Further Assurances. The parties agree to execute and deliver all further documents, agreements and instruments and take further action as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement. Any documentary, stamp tax or similar issuance or transfer taxes due as a result of the conveyance, transfer or sale of the Units between Purchasers (or any of their permitted transferees), on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne by Purchasers (or their respective permitted transferees).

10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which will together constitute the same instrument.

10.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, supersedes all prior written or oral agreements, and may be amended or superseded only by a writing executed by the parties.

10.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement creates in any person not a party to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement, and this Agreement is for the exclusive benefit of the parties hereto. The parties expressly

recognize that this Agreement is not intended to create a partnership, joint venture or other similar arrangement between any of the parties or their respective affiliates.

10.11 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are solely for convenience of reference and shall be given no effect in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

10.12 Publicity Restrictions. No press release or other public disclosure relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be issued or made by or on behalf of any Purchaser without prior consultation with and written consent from the Company, except as required by applicable law, court process or stock exchange rules, in which case Purchaser required to make the disclosure will allow the Company reasonable time (to the extent practicable) to comment thereon in advance of the issuance.
