The Purchaser understands that the information contained in the Private Placement Memorandum is strictly confidential and proprietary to the Company and has been prepared from the Company’s publicly available documents and other information and is being submitted to the Purchaser solely for such Purchaser’s confidential use. The Purchaser agrees to use the

information contained in the Private Placement Memorandum for the sole purpose of evaluating a possible investment in the Securities and the Purchaser acknowledges that it is prohibited from reproducing or distributing the Private Placement Memorandum, this Agreement, or any other offering materials or other information provided by the Company in connection with the Purchaser’s consideration of its investment in the Company, in whole or in part, or divulging or discussing any of their contents, except to its financial, investment or legal advisors in connection with its proposed investment in the Securities.

The Purchaser understands that the market price of the Common Stock has been volatile, that there is no existing market for the Preferred Stock and that no representation is being made as to the future value of the Securities.

The Purchaser understands that, until such time as the Registration Statement has been declared effective or the Securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Securities will bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF

1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (1) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (2) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THE SECURITIES LAWS OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS, AND IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS.”

5.7 Transfer Restrictions. Consistent with the legend set forth in Section 5.6, the Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Company may require the transferor to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of the transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of such transfer (unless effected pursuant to the Registration Statement or under Rule 144), any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement. The certificates representing the Shares and the Conversion Shares may be subject to a stop transfer order for the purpose of enforcing the foregoing provisions, and the Company will instruct the transfer agent to transfer Securities to a transferee if the foregoing provisions are complied with and if, in the case of a transfer pursuant to the Registration Statement, the transferor causes the Prospectus (as defined in Section 5.9) to be delivered to the transferee. At such time as the Securities are no longer required to bear a restrictive legend, the Company agrees that it will, no later than three business days after delivery by the Purchaser to the Company or its transfer agent of a certificate (in the case of a transfer, in the proper form for transfer) representing Securities issued with the foregoing restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company shall not make any notation on its records or give instructions to its transfer agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section.

5.8 Residency. The Purchaser’s principal executive offices are in the jurisdiction set forth immediately below the Purchaser’s name on the signature pages hereto.

5.9 Public Sale or Distribution. The Purchaser hereby covenants with the Company not to make any sale of the Securities under the Registration Statement without complying with the provisions of this Agreement and without effectively causing the prospectus delivery requirement under the Securities Act to be satisfied (whether physically or through compliance

with Rule 172 under the Securities Act or any similar rule), and the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that such Securities are not transferable on the books of the Company unless the certificate submitted to the transfer agent evidencing the Securities is accompanied by a separate Purchaser’s Certificate of Subsequent Sale: (i) in the form of Appendix II hereto, (ii) executed by an officer of, or other authorized person designated by, the Purchaser, and (iii) to the effect that (A) the Securities have been sold in accordance with the Registration Statement, the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws and (B) the prospectus delivery requirement effectively has been satisfied. The Purchaser acknowledges that there may occasionally be times when the Company must suspend the use of the prospectus (the “Prospectus”) forming a part of the Registration Statement (a “Suspension”) until such time as an amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the Commission, or until such time as the Company has filed an appropriate report with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act. Without the Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, the Purchaser shall not use any written materials to offer the Securities for resale other than the Prospectus, including any “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. The Purchaser covenants that it will not sell any Securities pursuant to said Prospectus during the period commencing at the time when Company gives the Purchaser written notice of the suspension of the use of said Prospectus and ending at the time when the Company gives the Purchaser written notice that the Purchaser may thereafter effect sales pursuant to said Prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agrees that no Suspension shall be for a period of longer than 45 consecutive days, and no Suspension shall be for a period longer than 60 days in the aggregate in any 365 day period and may not be used by the Company more than three times during any 365 day period. The Purchaser further covenants to notify the Company promptly of the sale of all of its Securities.

5.10 Organization; Validity; Enforcements. The Purchaser further represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that (i) the Purchaser has full right, power, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, (ii) the making and performance of this Agreement by the Purchaser and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated will not violate any provision of the organizational documents of the Purchaser or conflict with, result in the breach or violation of, or constitute, either by itself or upon notice or the passage of time or both, a default under any material agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, franchise, license, indenture, permit or other instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or, any statute or any authorization, judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation of any court or any regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental agency or body applicable to the Purchaser, (iii) no consent, approval, authorization or other order of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental agency or body is required on the part of the Purchaser for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iv) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, this Agreement shall constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application relating to or the enforcement of creditor’s rights and the application of equitable principles relating to the availability of remedies, and except as rights to indemnity or contribution, including, but not limited to, the

indemnification provisions set forth in Section 7.4 of this Agreement, may be limited by federal or state securities laws or the public policy underlying such laws and (v) there is not in effect any order enjoining or restraining the Purchaser from entering into or engaging in any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.11 Short Sales. After the date the Purchaser entered into a confidentiality undertaking with the Placement Agent with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, the Purchaser has not taken, and prior to the public announcement of the transaction, the Purchaser shall not take, any action that has caused or will cause the Purchaser to have, directly or indirectly, sold or agreed to sell any shares of Common Stock, effected any short sale of Common Stock, whether or not against the box, established any “put equivalent position” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) with respect to the Common Stock, granted any other right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to the Common Stock or with respect to any security that includes, relates to or derived any significant part of its value from the Common Stock.

SECTION 6. Survival of Agreements; Non-Survival of Company Representations and Warranties. Notwithstanding any investigation made by any party to this Agreement or by the Placement Agent, all covenants and agreements made by the Company and the Purchaser herein and in the certificates for the Shares delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the execution of this Agreement, the delivery to the Purchaser of the Shares being purchased and the payment therefor. All representations and warranties, made by the Company and the Purchaser herein and in the certificates for the Shares delivered pursuant hereto shall survive for a period of two years following the later of the execution of this Agreement, the delivery to the Purchaser of the Shares being purchased and the payment therefor.

(k) notify the Purchaser in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that the Company shall endeavor that such notice not contain any material, nonpublic information), and, promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission;

(l) use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the prompt withdrawal of such order or suspension and to notify each Purchaser who holds Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual written notice of the initiation or written threat of any proceeding for such purpose; and

(m) include in the “plan of distribution” section of the Registration Statement disclosure substantially to the effect that: “The selling stockholders may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions.

(n) refrain from preparing and filing with the SEC other Registration Statements until the Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities is effective.

The Company understands that the Purchaser disclaims being an underwriter, but the Purchaser being deemed an underwriter shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has hereunder. If the SEC requires that the Purchaser be named as an underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Purchaser may (and the Company will use its best efforts to allow) withdraw its Securities from the Registration Statement. A draft of the proposed form of the Registration Statement Questionnaire related to the Registration Statement to be completed by the Purchaser is attached hereto as Appendix I.

7.2 Additional Registration Statements. If for any reason, the SEC does not permit all Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement (such that the Registration Statement may be used for resales in a manner that does not constitute, in the SEC’s view, an offering by the Company and that permits the continuous resale at the market by the Purchasers participating therein without being named therein as “underwriters”), then;

(a) The Company shall (i) first, exclude the shares held by any officer or director of the Company or any Affiliate of any such officer or director and (ii) second, reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement by the Purchaser and all Other Purchasers until such time as the SEC shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used for resales in a manner that does not constitute an offering by the Company and that permits the continuous resale at the market by the Purchasers participating therein without being named therein as “underwriters.” In making such reduction, the Company shall reduce the number of shares to be included by all such Purchasers on a pro rata basis (based upon the number of Registrable Securities otherwise required to be included for each such Purchaser). In no event shall a Purchaser be required to be named as an “underwriter” in a Registration Statement without such Purchaser’s prior written consent; and

(b) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC one or more separate Registration Statements that meet the criteria set forth in the first sentence of this Section 7.2 with respect to any such Registrable Securities not included in the previous Registration Statement. The Company will then use its best efforts at the first opportunity that is permitted by the SEC, but in no event later than the later of (60) days from the date substantially all of the Registrable Securities registered under the Registration Statement have been sold by the Purchasers or six (6) months from the date the initial Registration Statement referred to in Section 7.1 was declared effective, to register for resale the Registrable Securities that have been excluded from being registered (provided such Registration Statement meets the criteria set forth in the first sentence of this Section 7.2). The Company shall use its best efforts to cause any such Registration Statement to be declared effective within 90 days following the filing thereof or, in the event of a review of the registration statement by the SEC, within 120 days following the filing thereof, (and in any event no later than five business days following notification from the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be subject to review or that the SEC has no further comments to the Registration Statement) and to remain continuously effective for the Registration Period. In the event the SEC raises objections to any such subsequent Registration Statement, the procedures set forth in this Section 7.2 shall again be followed.

7.3 Transfer of Securities After Registration. The Purchaser agrees that it will not effect any disposition of the Securities or its right to purchase the Securities that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act or pursuant to any applicable state securities laws, except as contemplated by a Registration Statement referred to in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 as otherwise permitted by law, and that it will promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth in the Registration Statement regarding the Purchaser or its plan of distribution.

7.4 Indemnification. For the purpose of this Section 7.4:

(i) the term “Purchaser/Affiliate” shall mean any affiliate of the Purchaser, including a transferee who is an affiliate of the Purchaser, and any person who controls the Purchaser or any affiliate of the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act; and

(ii) the term “ Registration Statement” shall include any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, free writing prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to, and any document incorporated by reference in, the Registration Statement referred to in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and each Purchaser/Affiliate, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several, to which the Purchaser or Purchaser/Affiliates may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon any breach of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Company set forth herein or are based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus, financial statements and schedules, and all other documents filed as a part thereof, as amended at the time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, including any information deemed to be a part thereof as of the time of effectiveness pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 430A, or pursuant to Rules 430B, 430C or 434, of the Rules and Regulations, or the Prospectus, in the form first filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations, or filed as part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness if no Rule 424(b) filing is required or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any of them a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made, or arise out of or are based in whole or in part on any inaccuracy in the representations or warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement, or any failure of the

Company to perform its obligations hereunder or under law, and will promptly reimburse each Purchaser and each Purchaser/Affiliate for any reasonable legal and other expenses as such expenses are incurred by such Purchaser or such Purchaser/Affiliate in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable for amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser expressly for use therein, (ii) the failure of such Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Sections 5.9 or 7.3 hereof respecting the sale of the Securities, (iii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by such Purchaser herein, or (iv) any statement or omission in any Prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent Prospectus that was delivered to the Purchaser prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Purchaser.

(b) The Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, but only if such settlement is effected with the consent of such Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (i) any failure to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Sections 5.9 or 7.3 hereof respecting the sale of the Shares, (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by such Purchaser herein, or (iii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Purchaser expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person for any reasonable legal and other expense incurred by the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that (x) the Purchaser will not be liable for amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and (y) the Purchaser’s aggregate liability under this Section 7 shall not

exceed the amount of proceeds received by the Purchaser on the sale of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement with respect to which the claim for indemnification here under is being made.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7.4 of notice of the threat or commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 7.4 promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7.4 to the extent it is not prejudiced as a result of such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party, and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, based on the written advise of counsel, which counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party, that there may be a conflict of interest between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7.4 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, reasonably satisfactory to such indemnifying party, representing all of the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In no event shall any indemnifying party be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the indemnifying party shall have approved in writing the terms of such settlement; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is a party unless such settlement includes a complete released of the indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

7.5 Termination of Conditions and Obligations. The restrictions imposed by Section 5.10 or Section 7.3 upon the transferability of the Registrable Securities shall cease and terminate as to any particular number of the Registrable Securities upon the earlier of (i) the passage of one

year from the effective date of the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities and (ii) at such time as an opinion of counsel satisfactory in form and substance to the Company shall have been rendered to the effect that such conditions are not necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act.

7.6 Information Available. The Company, upon the reasonable request of the Purchaser, shall make available for inspection by each Purchaser, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Purchaser or any such underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by the Purchaser or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the Registration Statement.

7.7 Delay in Filing or Effectiveness of Registration Statement. If the Registration Statement is not filed by the Company with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Deadline, then for each day following the Filing Deadline, until but excluding the date the Registration Statement is filed, or if the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC by the Effective Deadline, then for each day following the Effective Deadline, until but excluding the date the SEC declares the Registration Statement effective, the Company shall, for each such day, pay the Purchaser with respect to any such failure, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount per 30-day period equal to 1.0% of the Purchase Price paid by such Purchaser for its Shares pursuant to this Agreement; and for any such 30-day period, such payment shall be made no later than three business days following such 30-day period. If the Purchaser shall be prohibited from selling Conversion Shares under the Registration Statement as a result of a Suspension of more than sixty (60) days or Suspensions in the aggregate of more than ninety (90) days each in any 365 day period, then for each day on which a Suspension is in effect that exceeds the maximum allowed period for a Suspension or Suspensions, but not including any day on which a Suspension is lifted, the Company shall pay the Purchaser, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount per 30-day period equal to 1.0% of the Purchase Price paid by such Purchaser for its Shares pursuant to this Agreement for each such day, and such payment shall be made no later than the first business day of the calendar month next succeeding the month in which such day occurs. For purposes of this Section 7.7, a Suspension shall be deemed lifted on the date that notice that the Suspension has been lifted is delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.9 of this Agreement. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall not constitute the Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for such events. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay any liquidated damages pursuant to this Section 7.7 (i) to more than one Purchaser in respect of the same Shares for the same period of time or (ii) in an aggregate amount that exceeds 10% of the Purchase Price paid by the Purchasers for the Shares pursuant to the Agreements. Such payments shall be made to the Purchasers in cash.

SECTION 8. Anti-Dilution Protection for the Common Stock. If the Company issues within twelve (12) months of the Closing Date common stock or securities convertible into common stock at a price per share less than the Common Stock Purchase Price, then upon the occurrence of such issuance, the Company shall, subject to Sections 8(a), (b), (c) and (d) below, pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to the difference between (X) the Common Stock Purchase Price per share minus (Y) the greater of (i)

the per share cash consideration paid in the transaction giving rise to the adjustment in this Section 8, and (ii) $2.50, multiplied by (Z) (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock (assuming the conversion of the Preferred Shares at then applicable Conversion Rate) purchased by the Purchaser hereunder less (ii) any shares of Company common stock sold by the Purchaser after the Closing Date.

(a) In the case of the issuance of Company common stock for a consideration in whole or in part in cash, the consideration other than cash will be deemed to be the fair value thereof as determined in good faith by a majority of the Board of Directors irrespective of accounting treatment.

(b) No adjustment will be made pursuant to this Section 8:

(1) if shares of common stock are issued or are issuable pursuant to a stock option plan, restricted stock plan, agreements or other incentive stock arrangements approved by the stockholders and a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company; or

(2) in the event the Company should at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of common stock or the determination of holders of common stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of common stock or other securities or rights convertible into, exchangeable for, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of common stock (the “Common Stock Equivalents”) without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of common stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof).

(c) In the event a dilutive event under this Section 8 occurs, the Purchaser must provide the Company with an Officer’s Certificate certifying to how many shares of Company common stock the Purchaser has sold since the Closing Date.

SECTION 9. Purchasers That May Receive Non-Public Information. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Purchaser may have elected to receive (and therefore received) certain information that may be deemed to be material non-public information (the “Confidential Information”). If so, the Purchaser hereby agrees (i) not to use the Confidential Information for any purpose other than in connection with its evaluation of a possible investment in the Shares, (ii) to keep all Confidential Information confidential and not to disclose or reveal in any manner whatsoever any Confidential Information to any person other than such Purchaser’s representatives who are actively and directly participating in the evaluation of a possible investment in the Shares or otherwise need to know the Confidential Information for such purpose and who have been advised by such Purchaser of, and have agreed to be bound by, the restrictions contained in this Section 8, and (iii) not to affect any transaction in (other than as

contemplated by this Agreement) any securities of the Company until the earlier of (A) six months from the date of the Confidentiality Agreement signed by the Purchaser, (B) such time as the Company in its reasonable opinion determines that the Confidential Information is no longer considered material non-public information, or (C) or the filing of the Company’s 10Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008.

SECTION 10. Broker’s Fee. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company intends to pay to the Placement Agent a fee in respect of the sale of the Shares to the Purchaser. The Purchaser and the Company agree that the Purchaser shall not be responsible for such fee and that the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and each Purchaser/Affiliate against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several, to which such Purchaser or Purchaser/Affiliate may become subject with respect to such fee. Each of the parties hereto represents that, on the basis of any actions and agreements by it, there are no other brokers or finders entitled to compensation in connection with the sale of the Shares to the Purchaser.

SECTION 11. Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Purchaser under the Agreements. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase the Shares pursuant to the Agreements has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser. Nothing contained in the Agreements, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Agreements. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights under this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

SECTION 12. Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing, shall be mailed by first-class registered or certified airmail, e-mail, confirmed facsimile or nationally recognized overnight express courier postage prepaid, and shall be deemed given when so mailed and shall be delivered as addressed as follows:

This Agreement is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the federal law of the United States of America and the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of New York to the rights and duties of the parties. Each of the Company and the Purchaser submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York City for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Company and the Purchaser irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of

any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

SECTION 17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one instrument, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each party hereto and delivered to the other parties. Facsimile signatures shall be deemed original signatures.

SECTION 18. Entire Agreement. 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 the Purchaser makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters.

The term “successor and assigns” shall include any subsequent purchaser, as such purchaser, of the Shares sold to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 21. Further Assurances. Each party agrees to cooperate fully with the other parties and to execute such further instruments, documents and agreements and to give such further written assurance as may be reasonably requested by any other party to evidence and reflect the transactions described herein and contemplated hereby and to carry into effect the intents and purposes of this Agreement.
