Certificate of Designations), then the Company shall offer the non-defaulting Investors the
opportunity (which shall be made in writing and shall be held open for at least 30 days (or such
shorter period as the non-defaulting Investors shall agree)) to purchase such securities.

Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party has been duly authorized by the Company and,
upon execution and delivery by the Company and (assuming the due execution and delivery thereof by

enforceable in accordance with its respective terms, in each case subject to (i) bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement thereof or
by general equitable principles, (ii) laws relating to the availability of specific performance,
injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) to the extent any indemnification

affecting the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets or
properties, except for, in the case of this clause (D), any matters that, individually or in

based on reasonable assumptions of fact and opinion as to future events at the time the Projections
were prepared. Except as set forth in Schedule 7.25, as of the date hereof, no facts have
come to the attention of any of the officers of the Company which would, in their reasonable
opinion, require the Company to revise or amplify the assumptions underlying the Projections and
other estimates or the conclusions derived therefrom. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
makes no representation or warranty that the Projections will actually be realized.
7.26. Disclosure. Except as set forth in Schedule 7.26, to the Knowledge of
the Company, none of the representations or warranties of the Company contained herein, none of the
information contained in the Schedules referred to in this Article VII, and none of the
other written information or documents furnished to any Investor or any of its representatives by
the Company or its representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, when taken as a whole, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in any material respect. There is no fact
that the Company has not disclosed to the Investors in writing and of which, to the Knowledge of
the Company, has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.
ARTICLE VIII
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF EACH INVESTOR
As an inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement and to issue and sell the Series
A Preferred Shares, each Investor, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to the
Company as to himself, herself or itself only and agrees as follows:
8.1. Organization. If such Investor is not an individual, such Investor is duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of such
Investor’s organization, with all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its
properties and to carry on its respective businesses as now owned, leased and operated.
35
8.2. Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
each of the Transaction Documents to which such Investor is a party have been duly authorized and
approved by such Investor. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Investor
and (assuming the due execution and delivery hereof by each of the other parties hereto) is the
valid and binding obligation of such Investor enforceable against such Investor in accordance with
its terms, and each of the Transaction Documents to which such Investor is a party has been duly
authorized by such Investor and, upon execution and delivery by such Investor (assuming the due
execution and delivery thereof by each of the other parties thereto), will be a legal, valid and
binding obligation of such Investor enforceable against such Investor in accordance with its
respective terms, in each case subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
other similar laws affecting the enforcement thereof or by general equitable principles, (ii) laws
relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies
and (iii) to the extent any indemnification provisions may be limited by applicable federal or
state securities laws.
8.3. Brokers. Such Investor has no Contract with any broker, finder or similar agent
with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which such Investor shall have
any liability or responsibility.
8.4. Investment Representations.
(a) Such Investor acknowledges that it has been furnished with such documents, materials and
information as such Investor deems necessary or appropriate for evaluating an investment in the
Company. Such Investor further acknowledges that it: (i) has had the opportunity to ask questions
of, and receive answers from, the directors and officers of the Company, and Persons acting on the
Company’s behalf, concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Series A Preferred
Shares; (ii) has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of
evaluating and understanding the merits and risks of an investment in the Company; and (iii) is
able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Company and the Series A Preferred Shares
and Conversion Common Shares in that such Investor can afford to hold the Series A Preferred Shares
and Conversion Common Shares for an indefinite period and can afford a complete loss of its
investment in the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed and understood by the
Parties that the acknowledgements made in this Section 8.4(a) shall not be construed to
limit or modify in any way the representations and warranties of the Company contained in
Article VII or the right of any Investor to rely on such representations and warranties.
(b) Such Investor represents that it is acquiring the Restricted Securities purchased
hereunder for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, with the present intention of holding
such securities for purposes of investment, and that it has no present intention of selling such
securities in a public distribution in violation of the federal securities laws or any applicable
state securities laws; provided, that nothing contained herein shall prevent such Investor
and subsequent holders of Restricted Securities from transferring such securities in compliance
with the provisions of Article VI.
36
(c) Such Investor is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of
Regulation D under the Securities Act.
(d) Such Investor understands that the Restricted Securities being sold hereby have not been
registered under the Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws, and are being issued in
reliance on exemptions for private offerings contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and
the provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder and in reliance on exemptions from the
registration requirements of certain state securities laws, on the basis that the Restricted
Securities will be sold to a limited number of accredited investors. Because the Restricted
Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws,
the Restricted Securities may not be re-offered or resold except through a valid and effective
registration statement or pursuant to a valid exemption from the registration requirements under
the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and with the delivery of an opinion of
counsel to such effect reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
8.5. Residence. If such Investor is an individual, such Investor resides in the state
or province identified in the address of such Investor set forth on Appendix II; if such
Investor is a partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other entity, then the office
or offices of such Investor’s principal place of business is located at the addresses or addresses
of such Investor set forth on Appendix II.
8.6. Reliance on Projections. In connection with such Investor’s investigation of the
Company, such Investor has received the Projections set forth in Schedule 7.25. Subject to
the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 7.25, such Investor
acknowledges and agrees that (i) there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make the
Projections, (ii) such Investor is familiar with such uncertainties, (iii) such Investor is relying
on its own evaluation of the adequacy of the Projections and (iv) the Company makes no
representation or warranty that the Projections will actually be realized.
8.7. No Knowledge of Breach. Such Investor does not have any actual knowledge of: (i)
as of the First Closing, any misrepresentation or breach of warranty made by the Company in this
Agreement; or (ii) as of the Second Closing, any misrepresentation or breach of warranty, or any
breach of any covenant, made by the Company in this Agreement.
ARTICLE IX

Sections 7.5 through 7.8 (inclusive), 7.11, 7.13, 7.15
through 7.18 (inclusive), and 7.21 through 7.26 (inclusive) shall expire on

7.19 and 7.20 shall expire upon the expiration of the applicable statute of
limitations for claims related to the matters discussed in those Sections.
37
9.2. Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the
provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived only if the Company shall have
obtained the written consent of the holders of at a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred
Shares and Conversion Common Shares voting as a single class on a common share equivalent basis.
No course of dealing between the Company and any holder of any Series A Preferred Shares or
Conversion Common Shares or any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under the Certificate
of Incorporation will operate as a waiver of any rights of any such holders. For purposes of this
Agreement, Series A Preferred Shares held by the Company will not be deemed to be outstanding.
9.3. Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the Parties will
bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the Parties,
whether so expressed or not. In addition, the provisions of this Agreement which are for the
benefit of the Investors or holders of Series A Preferred Shares or Conversion Common Shares are
also for the benefit of, and enforceable by, any subsequent holders of any portion of such Series A
Preferred Shares or Conversion Common Shares.
9.4. Remedies. Each holder of any Series A Preferred Share or Conversion Common Share
shall have all rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement, the Certificate of Incorporation
and any other agreement or contract that grants rights and remedies to such holders, and all rights
that such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this
Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other
security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to
exercise all other rights granted by law.
9.5. Indemnification. In consideration of each Investor’s execution and delivery of
this Agreement and acquisition of the Series A Preferred Shares and in addition to all of the
Company’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and
hold harmless each Investor and each other holder of Series A Preferred Shares and Conversion
Common Shares and all of their partners, officers, directors, employees and agents (including those
retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the
“Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities, damages,
expenses, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and interest (the “Indemnified
Liabilities”), incurred by the Indemnitees as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to any
third party actions, causes of action, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings relating to
such Person being a shareholder of the Company (or a partner, officer, director, employee or agent
of such shareholder); provided, however, that (a) the Company shall not be required
to indemnify and hold harmless an Indemnitee under this Section 9.5 to the extent that such
Indemnified Liabilities arise from a violation of any Requirements of Laws by such Indemnitee and
(b) the rights afforded to an Indemnitee under this Section 9.5 are not cumulative with any
other indemnification rights expressly conferred on such Indemnitee under any other Transaction
Document or any other agreement between the Company and such Indemnitee. To the extent that the
foregoing undertakings by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make
the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities
that is permissible under applicable law.
38
9.6. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law and in such a way as
to, as closely as possible, achieve the intended economic effect of such provision and this
Agreement as a whole, but if any provision contained herein is, for any reason, held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but
only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the
remainder of such provision or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be
unreasonable.
9.7. Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed given or delivered (a) when delivered personally, (b) if
transmitted by facsimile when confirmation of transmission is received, (c) if sent by registered

9.10. Attorneys’ Fees. If any action or suit based upon or arising out of any actual

prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of such
action or suit from the losing party, in addition to any other relief ordered by the court.
9.11. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
