(a) First Tranche. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Company shall sell to Purchaser and Purchaser shall buy from Company the number of Shares equal to $5,000,000 divided by the average closing selling price per share as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers on the Nasdaq National Market and published in The Wall Street Journal for the ten trading days prior to the date hereof (“Fair Market Value”) (i.e., one million ninety-nine thousand six hundred twenty-six (1,099,626) shares) on the date of this Agreement (the “Initial Closing”) at a cash purchase price of $0.001 per share (the “Purchase Price”).

$2,500,000 divided by the average closing selling price per share as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers on the Nasdaq National Market and published in The Wall Street Journal for the ten trading days prior to the date of the Second Closing (“Fair Market Value”) at the Purchase Price on the Second Closing, provided, however, if the Strategic Marketing Agreement is terminated by Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.3.1 thereof, the number of shares shall be calculated using $416,666 instead of $2,500,000.
(c) Third Tranche. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Company shall sell to Purchaser and Purchaser shall buy from Company the number of Shares equal to $2,500,000 divided by the average closing selling price per share as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers on the Nasdaq National Market and published in The Wall Street Journal for the ten trading days prior to the date of the Third Closing (“Fair Market Value”) at the Purchase Price on the Third Closing.
(d) Share Limit. The total number of Shares that may be purchased pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed, in the aggregate, 5,025,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or similar events with respect to such shares).
1.2 Adjustments Upon Certain Events.
The Purchase Price and the number of Shares purchasable at each of the Second and Third Closings shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events described in this Section 1.2.
(a) If the Company shall at any time during the ten trading day period used to calculate the number of Shares the Purchaser may purchase at each of the Second and Third Closing subdivide its Common Stock, by stock split or otherwise, or combine its Common Stock, or issue additional shares of its Common Stock as a dividend with respect to any shares of its Common Stock, the number of Shares issuable at such Closing shall, if necessary, be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Purchase Price as provided herein, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Shares purchasable pursuant to this Agreement (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 1.2(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date of the subdivision or combination becomes effective or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon making of such dividend. Promptly after any adjustment to the number or class of Shares purchasable at one or both of the Second and Third Closings, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Purchaser no more than ten (10) business days after such adjustment, setting forth in reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such adjustment.
(b) In case of (i) any reclassification, reorganization, or change or conversion in the Common Stock of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock dividend provided for in Section 1.2(a) above), including as a result of any merger or consolidation with or into another corporation or other entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity or in which the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting stock immediately prior to such transaction own, immediately after such transaction, securities representing less than 50% of the voting power of the corporation or other entity surviving such transaction, or (ii) any dividend or distribution of Common Stock (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination or stock dividend provided for in Section 1.2(a) above), or other securities which are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for any other securities of the Company or another issuer, cash, evidence of indebtedness of the Company or another issuer or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution, then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation with or into another person, change, dividend or distribution, lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the Purchaser, so that the Purchaser shall have the right to receive, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, at each of the Second and Third Closing, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation with or into another person, change,
2
dividend or distribution by a holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock as would have been receivable by the Purchaser immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation with or into another person, change, dividend or distribution if such had occurred prior to such Second or Third Closing. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Purchaser so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any Shares or other securities and property deliverable at the Second or Third Closing, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Purchase Price as provided herein; provided further the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same. The Company shall provide the Purchaser with written notice at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective date of any such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation with or into another person, change, dividend or distribution.

SECTION 4
Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser
By execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser makes the representations set forth below to the Company and acknowledges that the Company’s reliance on federal and state securities law exemptions from registration and qualification is predicated, in part, on such representations (all such representations being made as of the date of each Closing with respect to the share purchase thereof):
4.1 No Intent to Sell.
The Purchaser represents that it is acquiring the Shares solely for its own account, for investment purposes only, and not with a view to or an intent to sell, or to offer for resale in connection with any unregistered distribution of all or any portion of the Shares within the meaning of the Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws.
4.2 Accredited Investor.
The Purchaser represents that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

The Purchaser will rely solely on its own business judgment and investigations with respect to the Company, the Shares.
4.5 Restrictions on Shares.
The Purchaser represents that it understands that the Shares are and will be characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws since the Shares are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. The Purchaser represents that it will not make any disposition of all or any portion of the Shares, except in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws and unless and until: (a) there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or (b) such disposition is made in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act; or (c) the Purchaser notifies the Company of the proposed disposition and furnishes the Company with a statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and, if requested by the Company, the Purchaser furnishes the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company’s counsel, that such disposition will not require registration under the Securities Act and will be in compliance with all applicable state securities laws. The Purchaser represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has no obligation to register the Shares or file any registration statement under either federal or state securities laws,
4.6 No General Solicitation.
The Purchaser represents that it was not presented with or solicited by any promotional meeting or material relating to the Shares.
4.7 Conflicts.
The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not result in any material violation of, or materially conflict with, or constitute a material default under, the Purchaser’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, each as amended to date, or, any of its material agreements.
4.8 Purchaser Counsel.
The Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review this Agreement, the exhibits and schedules attached hereto and thereto and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with its own legal counsel. Purchaser is relying solely on such counsel and not on any statements or representations of the Company or its agents for legal advice with respect to this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
5
4.9 Tax Advisors.
The Purchaser has reviewed with its own tax advisors the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. With respect to such matters, the Purchaser relies solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents, written or oral. Subject to Section 7.12, the Purchaser understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
4.10 Legends.
The Purchaser represents that it understands and acknowledges that any certificate evidencing the Shares (or evidencing any other securities issued with respect thereto pursuant to any stock split, stock dividend or other form of reorganization or recapitalization) when issued shall bear, in addition to any other legends which may be required by applicable state securities laws, the following legend:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (“ACT”), NOR HAVE THEY BEEN REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE.
