Each of the Company and the Significant Subsidiaries is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization (as applicable), with the requisite legal authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. Neither the Company nor any Significant Subsidiary is in violation of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and the Significant Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not reasonably be expected to individually or in the aggregate, (i) materially and adversely affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, (ii) have or result in a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business or financial condition of the Company and the Significant Subsidiaries, taken as a whole on a consolidated basis or (iii) materially and adversely impair the Company’s ability to perform fully on a timely basis its obligations under any of the Transaction Documents (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse Effect”).

The execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further consent or action is required by the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders. Each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party has been (or upon delivery will be) duly executed by the Company and is, or when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute, the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally, and (ii) the effect of rules of law governing the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies.
(d) No Conflicts.

To the knowledge of the Company, no Person or group of related Persons beneficially owns (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), or has the right to acquire, by agreement with or by obligation binding upon the Company, beneficial ownership of in excess of 5% of the outstanding Common Stock, ignoring for such purposes any limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock that may be owned at any single time.

Immediately before and after giving effect to the sale of the Convertible Notes, Margin Stock will constitute less than 25% of the Company’s assets as determined in accordance with Regulation U. No part of the proceeds of the Convertible Notes will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, to purchase, acquire or carry any Margin Stock or for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America, including Regulation T, U or X.
3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Investors. Each Investor hereby, as to itself only and for no other Investor, represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) Organization; Authority. Such Investor is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and
12
thereunder. The purchase by such Investor of the Securities hereunder has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Investor. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Investor and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such Investor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally and (ii) the effect of rules of law governing the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies.
(b) No Public Sale or Distribution; Investment Intent. Such Investor is acquiring the Securities in the ordinary course of business for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, and such Investor does not have a present arrangement to effect any distribution of the Securities to or through any person or entity.
(c) Investor Status. At the time such Investor was offered the Securities, it was, and at the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.
ARTICLE IV
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Transfer Restrictions.
(a) The Investors covenant that the Securities will only be disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or to the Company, the Company may require the transferor to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company hereby consents to and agrees to register on the books of the Company and with its transfer agent, without any such legal opinion, except to the extent that the transfer agent requests such legal opinion, any transfer of Securities by an Investor to an Affiliate of such Investor, provided that the transferee makes customary representations to Company and certifies to the Company that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and provided that such Affiliate does not request any removal of any existing legends on any certificate evidencing the Securities.
(b) Such Investor understands that the instruments representing the Convertible Notes and the stock certificates representing the Conversion Shares until such time as the resale of the Conversion Shares have been registered and sold under the Securities Act, shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):
NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE
13
CONVERTIBLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR (B) IF REASONABLY REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY, AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT.
The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of the Securities upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) such Securities have been registered and sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer, the Company reasonably requests that such holder provide the Company with opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company that the sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act.
4.2 Furnishing of Information. So long as any Investor owns any Securities, the Company covenants to use 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 date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. Upon the reasonable request of any Investor, the Company shall deliver to such Investor a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with the preceding sentence. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request to satisfy the provisions of this Section 4.2.
4.3 Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Affiliate thereof shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Investors or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market.
4.4 Reservation of Securities. The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents. In the event that at any time the then authorized shares of Common Stock are insufficient for the Company to satisfy its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall promptly take such actions as may be required to increase the number of authorized shares.
4.5 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall, on or before 8:30 a.m., New York time, on the first Trading Day following execution of this Agreement, issue a press release acceptable to the Investors disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC (the “8-K Filing”) within four (4) Business Days of execution of this Agreement describing the terms of the transactions
14
contemplated
by the Transaction Documents and including as exhibits to such Current Report
on Form 8-K this Agreement in the form required by the Exchange Act. Thereafter, the Company shall timely file any
filings and notices required by the SEC or applicable law with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby and provide copies thereof to the Investors
promptly after filing. Investors Company
shall, at least two Trading Days prior to the filing or dissemination of any
disclosure required by this paragraph, provide a copy thereof to the Investors
for their review. The Company and the
Investors shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases or
otherwise making public statements or filings and other communications with the
SEC or any regulatory agency or Trading Market with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby, and neither party shall issue any such press release or
otherwise make any such public statement, filing or other communication without
the prior consent of the other, except if such disclosure is required by law,
in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with
prior notice of such public statement, filing or other communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall not publicly disclose the name of any Investor, or include the name of
any Investor in any press release without the prior written consent of such
Investor. Except as required under the
Transaction Documents, the Company shall not, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries and its and each of their respective officers, directors,
employees and agents not to, provide any Investor with any material nonpublic
information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the
issuance of the above referenced press release without the express written
consent of such Investor.
4.6 Use of Proceeds. Within two Business Days of the Closing, the Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities to redeem the outstanding principal amount, plus all accrued and unpaid interest on such principal amount (the “Redemption”), under (A) the 2006 Senior Secured Note and (B) that certain Promissory Note, dated March 23, 2006, as amended on March 27, 2007 and attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “2006 Promissory Note”, and together with the 2006 Senior Secured Note, the “2006 Notes”). The Company shall use the remaining net proceeds from the sale of the Securities for working capital and general corporate purposes. Pending use for working capital and general corporate purposes, the Company intends to invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade securities, or as otherwise pursuant to the Company’s customary investment policies.
4.7 . Short Sales. The Investor represents, warrants and agrees that, since the date on which any of the Company or first contacted the Investor about the potential sale of the Securities, it has not engaged in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities). Such Investor covenants that it will not engage in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including Short Sales) prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed. Such Investor further covenants that it will not engage in any Short Sales in the Company’s securities for a period of 180 days from the Closing Date. For purposes hereof, “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 3b-3 of the Exchange Act and Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, whether or not against the box, and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sales contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales, swaps, “put equivalent positions” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-US broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers.
15
4.8 . Waiver;
Termination of Liens. Upon
Redemption, each holder of the 2006 Notes irrevocably waives any default or
breach arising from or related to the 2006 Notes and the transactions
contemplated thereby, including, without exception, the Registration Rights
Agreement dated March 23, 2006, the Warrant and the 2006 Notes. Upon Redemption, each Investor previously
holding 2006 Notes shall take all action reasonably necessary to terminate any
Liens arising from or relating to the 2006 Notes.
