The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

A complete and accurate list of the SEC Documents is set forth on Schedule 3(f). The Company has made available to the Buyers or their respective representatives true and complete copies of the SEC Documents. Each of the SEC Documents was filed with the SEC within the time frames prescribed by the SEC for the filing of such SEC Documents (including any extensions of such time frames permitted by Rule 12b-25 under the 0000 Xxx) such that each filing was timely filed (or deemed timely filed pursuant to Rule 12b-25 under the 0000 Xxx) with the SEC. As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents. None of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Since the filing of the SEC Documents, no event has occurred that would require an amendment or supplement to any of the SEC Documents. The Company has not received any written comments from the SEC staff that have not been resolved to the satisfaction of the SEC staff.

Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments that are not material individually or in the aggregate). None of the Company or any of its officers, directors or Affiliates (as defined in Section 4(j)) or, to the Company’s Knowledge, any
9
stockholder of the Company has made any other filing with the SEC, issued any press release or made any other public statement or communication on behalf of the Company or otherwise relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits any statement of material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are or were made, not misleading or has provided any other information to the Buyers, including information referred to in Section 2(d), that contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are or were made, not misleading. Except as set forth on Schedules 3(f) and 3(w), which will be filed with the Form 8-K to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 4(i) hereof, none of the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents has provided the Buyers with any material, nonpublic information. The Company is not required to file and will not be required to file any agreement, note, lease, mortgage, deed or other instrument entered into prior to the date this representation is made and to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound that has not been previously filed as an exhibit (including by way of incorporation by reference) to its reports filed or made with the SEC under the 1934 Act. The accounting firm of Singer Lewak Xxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx LLP, which has expressed its opinion with respect to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 (the “Audit Opinion”) and reviewed the consolidated financial standards included in the Company’s most recently filed quarterly report on Form 10-Q is independent of the Company pursuant to the standards set forth in Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC, and such firm was otherwise qualified to render the Audit Opinion and complete such review under applicable law and the rules and regulations of the SEC. There is no transaction, arrangement or other relationship between the Company and an unconsolidated or other off-balance-sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports pursuant to the 1934 Act that has not been so disclosed in the SEC Documents. Since September 23, 2004, neither the Company nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, any director, officer or employee, of the Company, has received or otherwise had or obtained Knowledge of any material complaint, allegation, assertion or claim, whether written or oral, regarding the accounting or auditing practices, procedures, methodologies or methods of the Company or its internal accounting controls, including any complaint, allegation, assertion or claim that the Company has engaged in questionable accounting or auditing practices. No attorney representing the Company, whether or not employed by the Company, has reported evidence of a material violation of securities laws, breach of fiduciary duty or similar violation by the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents to the Company’s board of directors or any committee thereof or to any director or officer of the Company pursuant to Section 307 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, and the SEC’s rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Since September 23, 2004, there have been no internal investigations regarding accounting or revenue recognition discussed with, reviewed by or initiated at the direction of the chief executive officer, principal financial officer, the board or any committee thereof.

g. Absence of Certain Changes. Except as disclosed in any SEC Documents that were filed with the SEC at least five (5) days prior to the date of this Agreement, since December 31, 2004, there has been no Material Adverse Effect. The Company has not taken any
10
steps, and the Company currently does not expect to take any steps, to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy law nor does the Company have any Knowledge or reason to believe that the creditors of the Company intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any Knowledge of any fact that would reasonably lead a creditor to do so.

The Parties acknowledge that each of the Buyers has executed each of the Transaction Documents to be executed by it in the State of New York and will have made the payment of the Purchase Price from its bank account located in the State of New York. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
b. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party; provided that a facsimile signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile signature.
c. Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.
31
d. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
e. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between each Buyer, the Company, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement and the instruments referenced herein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Buyers that purchased at least two-thirds (2/3) of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes on the Closing Date, or if prior to the Closing, by the Buyers listed on the Schedule of Buyers as being obligated to purchase at least two-thirds (2/3) of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes. Any such amendment shall bind all holders of the Notes and the Warrants. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Notes or Warrants then outstanding. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification or supplement of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents or holders of Notes, as the case may be. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Buyer and is not intended for the Company to treat the Buyers as a class and shall not be construed in any way as the Buyers acting in concert or otherwise as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of securities or otherwise.
f. Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

g. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any purchasers of the Notes. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the aggregate principal of the Notes then outstanding, including by merger or consolidation, except pursuant to a Change of Control (as defined in Section 4(b) of the Notes) with respect to which the Company is in compliance with Section 4(l) of this Agreement, Section 4 of the Notes and Section 9 of the Warrants. A Buyer may assign some or all of its rights hereunder without the consent of the Company; provided, however, that any such assignment shall not release such Buyer from its obligations hereunder unless such obligations are assumed by such assignee and the Company has consented to such assignment and assumption, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Transaction Documents, the Buyers shall be entitled to pledge the Securities in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by the Securities.
h. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns and, to the extent provided in Section 8 hereof, each Indemnitee, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.
i. Survival. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 9(k), the representations and warranties of the Company and the Buyers contained in Sections 2 and 3, the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 4, 5 and 9, and the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 8, shall survive the Closing. Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.
j. Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
k. Termination. In the event that the Closing shall not have occurred with respect to a Buyer on or before the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of this Agreement due to the Company’s or such Buyer’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 6(a) and 7(a) above (and the nonbreaching party’s failure to waive such unsatisfied condition(s)), the nonbreaching party shall have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such breaching party at the close of business on such date without liability of any party to any other party; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 9(k), the Company shall be obligated to pay each of the Buyers (so long as such Buyer is not a breaching party) its expense and commitment allowance as set forth in Section 4(h) as if such Buyer had purchased the principal amount of Notes set forth opposite its name on the Schedule of Buyers.
l. Placement Agent. The Company acknowledges that it has engaged X.X. Xxxxxx & Company as placement agent in connection with the sale of the Notes and the related Warrants, which placement agent may have formally or informally engaged other agents on its
34
behalf. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any placement agent’s fees or broker’s commissions relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall pay, and hold each Buyer harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any such claim. Each Buyer, with respect to only itself, represents that it has not engaged a placement agent or broker in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
m. No Strict Construction. 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.
n. Remedies. Each Buyer and each holder of the Securities shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies that such Buyers and holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights that such Buyers and 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 or proving actual damages), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law.
o. Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Buyers hereunder or pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Notes or Warrants or the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or 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, by a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including 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.
p. Independent Nature of Buyers. The obligations of each Buyer hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer hereunder. Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder. The decision of each Buyer to purchase the Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Buyer independently of any other Buyer and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any other Buyer or by any agent or employee of any other Buyer, and no Buyer or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Buyer (or any other Person or entity) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption
35
that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including the rights arising out of this Agreement the Notes or the Warrants, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
q. Interpretative Matters. Unless the context otherwise requires, (a) all references to Sections, Schedules or Exhibits are to Sections, Schedules or Exhibits contained in or attached to this Agreement, (b) each accounting term not otherwise defined in this Agreement has the meaning assigned to it in accordance with GAAP, (c) words in the singular or plural include the singular and plural and pronouns stated in either the masculine, the feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter and (d) the use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than limitation.

CVBT Conflicts of Interest/Related Party Transactions Procedures
CVBT has adopted a Code of Conduct that meets the requirements of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002. Accordingly, any and all related party transactions are to be brought to the attention of the Board of Directors. Our Corporate Governance Policy as overseen by our Corporate Governance Committee requires that related party transactions be reviewed and approved by the Conflicts Resolution Committee in advance of entering into the transaction. The Conflicts Resolution Committee consists of members of our Board of Directors who are independent of the related party matter being decided. The Conflicts Resolution Committee is chaired by The Chairman of our Audit Committee. This Committee decides the outcome of matters brought to its attention without the input or influence of executive officers or Board Members who are not independent of the related party matter being decided. The Committee Chair then reports the conclusion of the Committee to the full Board of Directors along with an affirmative statement as to whether any input or influence was offered or attempted by executive officers or Board Members who are not independent of the related party matter being decided. The decisions of the Conflicts Resolution Committee do not require ratification or approval by the full Board of Directors.
Additionally and as part of its Internal Audit Plan, the Audit Committee has engaged a National CPA firm to function as our outsourced Internal Audit Function. The adopted Audit Plan includes auditing 100% of related party transactions every year. Our Audit Committee Chair and the Members of the Committee have strong legal, business and financial backgrounds and experience making this a very effective Audit Committee. I refer you to their resumes’ included in the attached Proxy Statement.
In summary, our Code of Conduct prohibits Conflicts of Interest as a matter of Company Policy, except under “Guidelines” approved by the Board of Directors. Those guidelines, as described above, include “Disclosure” to the Board of Directors, “Recusal” of the conflicted persons from any decision making regarding the transaction, “Oversight” by the Audit Committee and “Third-Party Independent Review” annually by the Internal Auditors. Our adopted, implemented and functioning policies and processes for Conflicts of Interest meet the requirements of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and the requirements of the major United States exchanges.
