arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional
shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock.

governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority (federal, state, county, local or
foreign) (collectively, an “Action”), which (i) adversely affects or challenges the
legality, validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents or the Preferred Shares,
or (ii)
12
could, if there were an unfavorable decision, reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of the
Company any director or officer thereof, is or has been the subject of any Action involving a claim
of violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of
fiduciary duty. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending or
contemplated, any investigation by the SEC involving the Company or any current or former director
or officer of the Company. The SEC has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the
effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company or any Subsidiary under the
Exchange Act or the Act.
(k) Labor Relations. No material labor dispute exists or, to the knowledge of the
Company, is imminent with respect to any of the employees of the Company, which could reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(l) Compliance. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary (i) is in default under or in
violation of (and no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of time
or both, would result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary under), nor has the Company or
any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation
of, any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other similar agreement or instrument to which
it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound (whether or not such default or
violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any order of any court, arbitrator or
governmental body, or (iii) is or has been in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any
governmental authority, including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local
laws applicable to its business except in each case as could not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(m) Regulatory Permits. The Company and each Subsidiary possess all certificates,
authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory
authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports,
except where the failure to possess such permits could not, individually or in the aggregate, have
or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material Permits”), and
neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the
revocation or modification of any Material Permit.
(n) Title to Assets. The Company and each Subsidiary have good and marketable title
in fee simple to all real property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company
and each Subsidiary and good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is
material to the business of the Company and each Subsidiary, in each case free and clear of all
Liens, except for Liens that do not materially affect the value of such property and do not
materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and
each Subsidiary and Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, the payment of which is
neither delinquent nor subject to penalties. Any real property and facilities held under lease by
the Company and each Subsidiary are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases of
which the Company and each Subsidiary are in compliance.
13
(o) Patents and Trademarks. The Company and each Subsidiary have, or have rights to
use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade
names, copyrights, licenses and other similar rights that are necessary or material for use in
connection with their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports and which the failure
to so have could have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property
Rights”). Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a written notice that the
Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company or any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the
rights of any Person. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are
enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual
Property Rights of the Company or each Subsidiary.
(p) Insurance. The Company and each Subsidiary are insured by insurers of recognized
financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and
customary in the businesses in which the Company and each Subsidiary are engaged, including but not
limited to directors and officers insurance coverage at least equal to the Maximum Placement. To
the best of Company’s knowledge, such insurance contracts and policies are accurate and complete.
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew
its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage
from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a significant increase
in cost.
(q) Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in the SEC
Reports, none of the officers or directors of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company,
none of the employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the
Company or any Subsidiary (other than for services as employees, officers and directors),
including 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 officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any
entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an
officer, director, trustee or partner, in each case in excess of $120,000 other than (i) for
payment of salary or consulting fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses
incurred on behalf of the Company and (iii) for other employee benefits, including stock option
agreements under any equity incentive plan of the Company.
(r) Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx; Internal Accounting Controls. The Company is in material
compliance with all provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, which are applicable to it as of
the date of the Commitment Closing. The Company and each Subsidiary maintain a system of internal
accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed
in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain
asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s
general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with
the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any
differences. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls
and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its
Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities,
particularly during the period in which the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the
Exchange Act, as the case may be, is being
14
prepared. The Company’s certifying officers have
evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures as of the date prior to the
filing date of the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the
“Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under
the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the
disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the
Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or, to
the Company’s knowledge, in other factors that could materially affect the Company’s internal
controls.
(s) Certain Fees. Except for the payment of the Commitment Fee, no brokerage or
finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company to any broker, financial advisor
or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Investor shall have no obligation with respect to any
fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type
contemplated in this Section 4.1(s) that may be due in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.
(t) Investment Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and
immediately after receipt of payment for the Preferred Shares, will not be or be an Affiliate of,
an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The
Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment
Company Act.
(u) Registration Rights. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, no Person has any
right to cause the Company to effect the registration under the Act of any securities of the
Company.
(v) Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to
Section 12 of the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which to its
knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under
the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the SEC is contemplating
terminating such registration. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company has not, in the
12 months preceding the Effective Date, received notice from any Trading Market on which the Common
Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the
listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. Except as disclosed in the SEC
Reports, the Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future
continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.
(w) 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 similar
charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to
Investor as a result of Investor and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their
rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation the Company’s issuance of the
Preferred Shares and Investor’s ownership of the Preferred Shares.
15
(x) Disclosure; Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the information that
will be, and to the extent that it actually is timely publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to
Section 2.2(c)(i), and notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents, neither the Company nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided
Investor or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or might constitute
material, non-public information, including without limitation this Agreement and the Exhibits,
Appendices and Schedules hereto, unless prior thereto Investor shall have executed a written
agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and
confirms that neither Investor nor any Affiliate of Investor shall have any duty of trust or
confidence that is owed directly, indirectly, or derivatively to the Company or the stockholders of
the Company or to any other Person who is the source of material non-public information regarding
the Company. The Company understands and confirms that Investor will rely on the foregoing
representations and covenants in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All
disclosure provided to Investor regarding the Company, its business and the transactions
contemplated hereby, including without limitation in the Transaction Documents, and the Disclosure
Schedules to this Agreement (if any) furnished by or on behalf of the Company with respect to the
representations and warranties made herein, are true and correct in all material respects and do
not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in
order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.
(y) Financial Condition. Based on the financial condition of the Company as of the
date of the Commitment Closing: (i) the fair saleable market value of the Company’s assets exceeds
the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and
other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature; (ii) the Company’s
assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal
year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into
account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and projected
capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (iii) the current cash flow of the
Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its
assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all
amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does
not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account
the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no
knowledge of any facts or circumstances, which lead it to believe that it will file for
reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction
within one year from the date of the Commitment Closing. The SEC Reports set forth, as of the
respective dates thereof, all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any
Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. Neither the Company nor
any Subsidiary is in material default with respect to any Indebtedness.
16
(z) Tax Status. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has made or filed all
federal, state and foreign income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by
any jurisdiction to which it is subject (unless and only to the extent that the Company and each of
its Subsidiaries has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all
unpaid and unreported taxes) and has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges
that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and
declarations, except those being contested in good faith and has set aside on its books provisions
reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which
such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount
claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know
of no basis for any such claim. The Company has not executed a waiver with respect to the statute
of limitations relating to the assessment or collection of any foreign, federal, statue or local
tax. None of the Company’s tax returns is presently being audited by any taxing authority.
(aa) Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor to the knowledge of the
Company, any agent or other person acting on behalf of the Company, has (i) directly or indirectly,
used any corrupt funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses
related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign or
domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or
campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company
(or made by any person acting on its behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in violation
of law, or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
of 1977, as amended.
(bb) Acknowledgment Regarding Investor’s Purchase of Preferred Shares. The Company
acknowledges and agrees that Investor is acting solely in the capacity of arm’s length
purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The
Company further acknowledges that Investor is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the
Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby and any statement made by Investor or any of its representatives or agents in
connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is not advice or a
recommendation and is merely incidental to Investor’s purchase of the Preferred Shares. The
Company further represents to Investor that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement has
been based solely on the independent evaluation of the Company and its representatives.
(cc) Accountants. The Company’s accountants are set forth in the SEC Reports. To the
Company’s knowledge, such accountants are an independent registered public accounting firm as
required by the Act.
(dd) No Disagreements with Accountants and Lawyers. There are no disagreements of any
kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated by the Company to arise, between the accountants
and lawyers formerly or presently employed by the Company, and the Company is current with respect
to any fees owed to its accountants and lawyers.
(ee) Disclosure. No information contained in the Disclosure Schedules (if any)
constitutes material non-public information. There is no adverse material information regarding
the Company that has not been publicly disclosed prior to the Effective Date. There has been no
event that has caused, or is likely to cause, a Material Adverse Effect.
17
4.2 Representations and Warranties of Investor. Investor hereby represents and
warrants as of the Effective Date and each Closing as follows:
(a) Organization; Authority. Investor is an entity duly incorporated, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full
right, company power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by
the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution,
delivery and performance by Investor of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been
duly authorized by all necessary company or similar action on the part of Investor. Each
Transaction Document to which it is a party has been (or will be) duly executed by Investor, and
when delivered by Investor in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and
legally binding obligation of Investor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except
(i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific
performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and
contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
(b) Investor Status. At the time Investor was offered the Preferred Stock, it was,
and at the Effective Date it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Act.
(c) Experience of Investor. Investor, either alone or together with its
representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial
matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment
in the Preferred Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Investor is
able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Preferred Shares and, at the present time,
is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(d) General Solicitation. Investor is not purchasing the Preferred Shares as a result
of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Preferred Shares
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.
(e) Relationship. Investor has a pre-existing relationship with the Company at the
time of negotiating the terms of this Agreement, and the Investor is not purchasing or acquiring
the Preferred Shares in reliance on any registration statement or any prospectus supplement filed
in connection therewith.
(f) Restricted Securities. Investor understands that the Preferred Shares are
“restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Act, or registered or qualified
under any state securities law, in reliance on specific exemptions therefrom, which exemptions may
depend upon, among other things, the representations made by Investor in this Agreement. Investor
understands that the Preferred Shares will bear a legend which the Company, in its sole reasonable
discretion, deems necessary or advisable under the Act or by the Blue Sky laws of any state to the
extent such laws are applicable to the shares represented by the certificate so legended.
18
(g) Purchase Entirely for Own Account. Investor is acquiring the Preferred Shares in
the ordinary course of business and for the Investor’s own account for investment only, has no
present intention of distributing any of such Preferred Shares and has no arrangement or
understanding with any other persons regarding the distribution of such Preferred Shares.
(h) Transfer. Investor will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge,
transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or
take a pledge of) any of the Preferred Shares except in compliance with the Act, applicable state
securities laws and the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that Investor 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 4.2.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
5.1 Transfer Restrictions. The Investor understands that the certificates
representing the Preferred Shares shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following
form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such certificates or other
instruments):
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.
5.2 Furnishing of Information. As long as Investor owns Preferred Shares, the Company
covenants to use its commercially reasonable efforts to timely file (or obtain extensions in
respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by
the Company after the Effective Date pursuant to the Exchange Act. Upon the request of Investor,
the Company shall deliver to Investor a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to
whether it has complied with the preceding sentence.
5.3 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall timely file a Current Report
on Form 8-K as required by this Agreement, and in the Company’s discretion shall file a press
release, in each case reasonably acceptable to Investor, disclosing the material terms of the
transactions contemplated hereby. The Company and Investor shall consult with each other in
19
issuing any press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the
Company nor Investor shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement
without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any such press release of Investor, or
without the prior consent of Investor, with respect to any such press release of the Company, which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law
or Trading Market regulations, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other
party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of Investor, or include the name of Investor in
any filing with the SEC or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written
consent of Investor, except (i) as contained in the Current Report on Form 8-K and press release
described above, (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market
regulations, in which case the Company shall provide Investor with prior notice of such disclosure,
or (iii) to the extent such disclosure is required in any SEC Report filed by the Company.
5.4 Shareholders Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, to the
knowledge of the Company, any other Person that Investor is an “Acquiring Person” under any
shareholders rights plan or similar plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the
Company, or that Investor could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or
arrangement, by virtue of receiving the Preferred Shares under the Transaction Documents or under
any other agreement between the Company and Investor. The Company shall conduct its business in a
manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
5.5 Non-Public Information. The Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any
other Person acting on its behalf will provide Investor or its agents or counsel with any
information that the Company believes or reasonably should believe constitutes material non-public
information, unless prior thereto Investor shall have executed a written agreement regarding the
confidentiality and use of such information. On and after the Effective Date, neither Investor nor
any Affiliate Investor shall have any duty of trust or confidence that is owed directly,
indirectly, or derivatively, to the Company or the stockholders of the Company, or to any other
Person who is the source of material non-public information regarding the Company. The Company
understands and confirms that Investor shall be relying on the foregoing in effecting transactions
in securities of the Company.
5.6 Reimbursement. If Investor becomes involved in any capacity in any proceeding by or
against any Person who is a stockholder of the Company (except as a result of sales, pledges,
margin sales and similar transactions by Investor to or with any current stockholder), solely as a
result of Investor’s acquisition of the Preferred Shares under this Agreement, the Company will
reimburse Investor for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any
investigation preparation and travel in connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as
such expenses are incurred, or will assume the defense of Investor in such matter. The
reimbursement obligations of the Company under this Section 5.6 shall be in addition to any
liability which the Company may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to
any Affiliates of Investor who are actually named in such action, proceeding or investigation, and
partners, directors, agents, employees and controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of
Investor and any such Affiliate, and shall be binding upon and inure to the
20
benefit of any
successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company, Investor and any such
Affiliate and any such Person. The Company also agrees that neither Investor nor any such
Affiliates, partners, directors, agents, employees or controlling persons shall have any liability
to the Company or any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company solely as a
result of acquiring the Preferred Shares under this Agreement.
5.7 Indemnification of Investor
(a) Company Indemnification Obligation. Subject to the provisions of this Section
5.7, the Company will indemnify and hold Investor and their Affiliates and attorneys, and each
of their directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees, agents, and any person who
controls Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act
(collectively, the “Investor Parties” and each an “Investor Party”), harmless from
any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, reasonable costs and
expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation (collectively, “Losses”) that any Investor Party
may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (i) any breach of any of the representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other
Transaction Documents, and/or (ii) any action instituted against any Investor Party, or any of them
or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of an
Investor Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents
(unless such action is based upon a breach of Investor’s representations, warranties or covenants
under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings Investor may have with any such
stockholder or any violations by Investor of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by
Investor which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance).
(b) Indemnification Procedures. If any action shall be brought against an Investor
Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Investor Party
shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the
defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing. The Investor Parties shall have the right to
employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Investor Parties except to the extent that
(i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the
Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel
or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material
conflict with respect to the dispute in question on any material issue between the position of the
Company and the position of the Investor Parties such that it would be inappropriate for one
counsel to represent the Company and the Investor Parties. The Company will not be liable to the
Investor Parties under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by an Investor Party effected without
the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (ii)
to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is either
attributable to Investor’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements made by Investor in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.
21
5.8 Required Approval. No transactions contemplated under this Agreement or the
Transaction Documents shall be consummated for an amount that would require approval by any Trading
Market or the Company stockholders under any approval provisions, rules or regulations of any
Trading Market applicable to the Company, unless and until such approval is obtained. The Company
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any required approval as soon as possible.
5.9 Activity Restrictions. For so long as Investor or any of its Affiliates holds any
Preferred Shares, neither Investor nor any Affiliate will: (i) vote or permit any third party to
vote any shares of Common Stock owned or controlled by it, solicit any proxies, or seek to advise
or influence any Person with respect to any voting securities of the Company; (ii) engage or
participate in any actions, plans or proposals which relate to or would result in (a) acquiring
additional securities of the Company, alone or together with any other Person, which would result
in beneficially owning or controlling more than 9.99% of the total outstanding Common Stock or
other voting securities of the Company, (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a
merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving Company or any of its subsidiaries, (c) a sale or
transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (d) any change
in the present board of directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to
change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board, (e) any
material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company, (f) any other
material change in the Company’s business or corporate structure, including but not limited to, if
the Company is a registered closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals to make any
changes in its investment policy for which a vote is required by Section 13 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, (g) changes in the Company’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding
thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any Person,
(h) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange
or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered
national securities association, (i) a class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible
for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act, (j) any action,
intention, plan or arrangement similar to any of those enumerated above, or (k) engage in any
transactions in securities of the Company including Short Sales except in compliance with
applicable securities laws; or (iii) request the Company or its directors, officers, employees,
agents or representatives to amend or waive any provision of this Section 5.9.
5.10 Non-Circumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that it will not, by
amendment of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or similar organizational documents, or
through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms of this Agreement or the Preferred Shares, and will
at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Agreement and take all action as
may be required to protect the rights of Investor.

case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought. No waiver of
any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be
deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of
any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either
party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
6.4 Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of
this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
6.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit

23
6.7 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Dispute Resolution. All questions concerning the
construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be
governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,
without regard to the principles of conflicts of law that would require or permit the application
of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the
interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any
other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates,
directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state
and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of
Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of
any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any
suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any
such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or inconvenient venue for such
proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to
process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via
registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the
address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall
constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. The
parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury. If either party shall commence an action or
proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party in
such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees
and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the investigation, preparation
and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
6.8 Survival. The representations, warranties and covenants contained herein shall
survive the Closing until all shares of Preferred Shares issued to Investor or any Affiliate have
been redeemed.
6.9 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which
when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when
counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood
that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered
by facsimile transmission or in a PDF by e-mail transmission, such signature shall create a valid
and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with
the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.
6.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions
of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt
to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon
so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
24
6.11 Replacement of Preferred Shares. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any
Preferred Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be
issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and
substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and
reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such
circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such
replacement Preferred Shares.
6.12 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or
granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of Investor and the Company will be entitled to
specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may
not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any
breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any
action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be
adequate. Neither the Company nor Investor shall be liable for special, indirect, consequential
or punitive damages suffered or alleged to be suffered by the other party or any third party,
whether arising from or related to the Transaction Documents or otherwise.
6.13 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to
Investor pursuant to any Transaction Document or Investor enforces or exercises its rights
thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any
part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside,
recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the
Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any
bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent
of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such
enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
6.14 Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages
or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company
and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been
paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial
liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.
6.15 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to all provisions of this
Agreement that specify a time for performance.
6.16 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has
reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule
of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party
shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.
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.
25
6.17 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits, Appendices and
Schedules hereto, contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties, and supersedes
all prior and contemporaneous agreements, term sheets, letters, discussions, communications and
understandings, both oral and written, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into this
Agreement. No party, representative, attorney or agent has relied upon any collateral contract,
agreement, assurance, promise, understanding or representation not expressly set forth hereinabove.
The parties hereby expressly waive all rights and remedies, at law and in equity, directly or
indirectly arising out of or relating to, or which may arise as a result of, any Person’s reliance
on any such assurance.
26

WHEREAS, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation provides for a class of its
authorized stock known as preferred stock, comprised of 5,000,000 shares, $0.001 par value per
share (the “Preferred Stock”), issuable from time to time in one or more series, of which
2,000 shares have previously been designed as Series A Preferred Stock, with 462 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock currently issued and outstanding;
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Corporation is authorized to fix the dividend rights,
dividend rate, voting rights, conversion rights, rights and terms of redemption and liquidation
preferences of any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock and the number of shares constituting
any series and the designation thereof, of any of them; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, pursuant to its
authority as aforesaid, to fix the rights, preferences, restrictions and other matters relating to
a series of Preferred Stock, which shall consist of up to 1,600 shares of the Preferred Stock which
the Corporation has the authority to issue, with face value of $10,000.00 per share, as follows:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors does hereby provide for the
issuance of a series of Preferred Stock for cash or exchange of other securities, rights or
property and does hereby fix and determine the rights, preferences, restrictions and other matters
relating to such series of Preferred Stock as follows:
TERMS OF PREFERRED STOCK
1. Designation, Amount and Par Value. The series of Preferred Stock shall be
designated as the Corporation’s Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”)
and the number of shares so designated shall be 1,600 (which shall not be subject to increase
without any consent of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock (each a “Holder” and
collectively, the “Holders”) that may be required by applicable law. Each share of Series
B Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $0.001 per share.
1
2. Ranking and Voting.
a. Ranking. The Series B Preferred Stock shall, with respect to dividend rights and
rights upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, rank: (i) senior to the Corporation’s common
stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), and any other class or series of
preferred stock of the Corporation except as set forth in clause (ii) below (collectively, together
with any warrants, rights, calls or options exercisable for or convertible into such Preferred
Stock, the “Junior Securities”); and (ii) junior to the Series A Preferred Stock and all
existing and future indebtedness of the Corporation (the “Senior Securities”).
b. Voting. Except as required by applicable law or as set forth herein, the holders
of shares of Series B Preferred Stock will have no right to vote on any matters, questions or
proceedings of this Corporation including, without limitation, the election of directors.
3. Dividends and Other Distributions. Commencing on the date of the issuance of any
such shares of Series B Preferred Stock (each respectively an “Issuance Date”), Holders of
Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive annual dividends on each outstanding share of
Series B Preferred Stock (“Dividends”), which shall accrue in shares of Series B Preferred
Stock at a rate equal to 10.0% per annum from the Issuance Date. Accrued Dividends shall
be payable upon redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 6.
a. Any calculation of the amount of such Dividends payable pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 3 shall be made based on a 365-day year and on the number of days actually elapsed
during the applicable period, compounded annually.
b. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends or other
distributions will be paid, declared or set apart with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock or
any Junior Securities.
4. Protective Provision. So long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are
outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative approval of the Holders of a
majority of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding (voting as a class) where
such vote is required by applicable law: (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or
rights given to the Series B Preferred Stock or alter or amend this Certificate of Designations,
(b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to distribution of assets upon a liquidation
senior to or otherwise pari passu with the Series B Preferred Stock, (c) amend its certificate of
incorporation or other charter documents in breach of any of the provisions hereof, (d) increase
the authorized number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, or (e) liquidate, dissolve or wind-up
the business and affairs of the Corporation, or effect any Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined
below).
a. A “Deemed Liquidation Event” shall mean: (i) a merger or consolidation in which
the Corporation is a constituent party or a subsidiary of the Corporation is a constituent party
and the Corporation issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation,
except any such merger or consolidation involving the Corporation or a subsidiary in which the
shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of
2
capital stock that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, at least a
majority, by voting power, of the capital stock of the surviving or resulting corporation or if the
surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately
following such merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting
corporation; or (ii) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single
transaction or series of related transactions, by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the
Corporation of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as
a whole, or the sale or disposition (whether by merger or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of
the Corporation if substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as
a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer,
exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation.
b. The Corporation shall not have the power to effect a Deemed Liquidation Event referred to
in Section 4(a) unless the agreement or plan of merger or consolidation for such
transaction provides that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation shall be
allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Section
5.
5. Liquidation.
a. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or
involuntary, after payment or provision for payment of debts and other liabilities of the
Corporation and any liquidation preferences to the Senior Securities, before any distribution or
payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities by reason of their ownership thereof,
the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall first be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the
Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders an amount with respect to each
outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock equal to $10,000.00 (the “Original Series B Issue
Price”), plus any accrued but unpaid Dividends thereon (collectively, the “Series B
Liquidation Value”). If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation,
whether voluntary or involuntary, the amounts payable with respect to the shares of Series B
Preferred Stock are not paid in full, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall share
equally and ratably in any distribution of assets of the Corporation in proportion to the
liquidation preference and an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid Dividends, if any, to
which each such holder is entitled.
b. After payment has been made to the Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock of the full
amount of the Series B Liquidation Value, any remaining assets of the Corporation shall be
distributed among the holders of the Corporation’s Junior Securities in accordance with the
Corporation’s Certificates of Designations and Certificate of Incorporation.
c. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the
Corporation shall be insufficient to make payment in full to all Holders, then such assets shall be

which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.
3
6. Redemption.
a. Corporation’s Redemption Option. Upon or after the fourth anniversary of the
initial Issuance Date, the Corporation shall have the right, at the Corporation’s option, to redeem

the Series B Liquidation Value (the “Corporation Redemption Price”).
b. Early Redemption. Prior to redemption pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof, the
Corporation shall have the right, at the Corporation’s option, to redeem all or a portion of the
shares of Series B Preferred Stock, at a price per share equal to the Corporation Redemption Price

Issuance Date, (ii) 27% of the Series B Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the first
anniversary but prior to the second anniversary of the Issuance Date, (iii) 18% of the Series B

third anniversary but prior to the fourth anniversary of the Issuance Date.
c. Mandatory Redemption. If the Corporation determines to liquidate, dissolve or
wind-up its business and affairs, or effect any Deemed Liquidation Event, the Corporation shall
redeem the Series B Preferred Stock at the Corporation Redemption Price (plus the premium for early
redemption set forth in Section 6(b) above if applicable).
d. Mechanics of Redemption. If the Corporation elects to redeem any of the Holders’
Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding, it shall do so by delivering written notice thereof via
facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Redemption at Option of Corporation”) to each
Holder, which Notice of Redemption at Option of Corporation shall indicate (A) the number of shares
of Series B Preferred Stock that the Corporation is electing to redeem and (B) the Corporation
Redemption Price (plus the premium for early redemption pursuant to Section 6(b) if
applicable).
e. Payment of Redemption Price. Upon receipt by any Holder of a Notice of Redemption
at Option of Corporation, such Holder shall promptly submit to the Corporation such Holder’s Series
B Preferred Stock certificates. Upon receipt of such Holder’s Series B Preferred Stock
certificates, the Corporation shall pay the Corporation Redemption Price (plus the premium for
early redemption pursuant to Section 6(b) if applicable), to such Holder, at the
Corporation’s sole option either (i) in cash, or (ii) by offset against any outstanding note
payable from Holder or its affiliates to the Corporation that was issued by Holder or its
affiliates.
7. Transferability. The Series B Preferred Stock may only be sold, transferred,
assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of (“Transfer”) in accordance with state and
federal securities laws. The Corporation shall keep at its principal office, or at the offices of
the transfer agent, a register of the Series B Preferred Stock. In connection with any such
transfer, upon the surrender of any certificate representing Series B Preferred Stock at such
place, the Corporation, at the request of the record Holder of such certificate, shall execute and
deliver (at the Corporation’s expense) a new certificate or certificates in exchange therefor
representing in the aggregate the number of shares represented by the surrendered certificate.
Each such new certificate shall be registered in such name and shall represent such number of
shares as is requested by the Holder of the surrendered certificate and shall be substantially identical in
form to the surrendered certificate.
4
8. Miscellaneous.
