except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the 1933 Act;
2
provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Buyer does not agree to
hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose
of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an
exemption under the 1933 Act and pursuant to the applicable terms of the Transaction Documents (as
defined in Section 3(b)). Such Buyer is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course
of its business. Such Buyer does not presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or
indirectly, with any Person (as defined in Section 3(s) below) to distribute any of the Securities.
(b) Accredited Investor Status. Such Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term
is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.
(c) Reliance on Exemptions. Such Buyer understands that the Securities are being
offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of
United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the
truth and accuracy of, and such Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties,
agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in order to determine
the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Buyer to acquire the Securities.
(d) Information. Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all
materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating
to the offer and sale of the Securities that have been requested by such Buyer. Such Buyer and its
advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such
inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if
any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer’s right to rely on the
Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. Such Buyer understands that its
investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and is able to afford a complete loss
of such investment. Such Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has
considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the
Securities.
(e) No Governmental Review. Such Buyer understands that no United States federal or
state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any

the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Securities.
(f) Transfer or Resale. Such Buyer understands that: (i) the Securities have not been
and are not being registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws, and may not be
offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder;
provided that, except as set forth in that certain letter agreement regarding registration rights
of Millennium Partners, L.P. (“Millennium”), dated October 17, 2008, between the Company and
Millennium (the “Millennium Letter Agreement”), such Buyer understands and agrees that the Company
is under no obligation to register the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to this
Agreement or otherwise, (B) such Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel,
in a form reasonably acceptable to the

the Company with reasonable assurance that such Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred
pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the 1933 Act, as amended (or a successor rule
thereto) or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Buyers
to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (collectively, “Rule 144”);
(ii) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with
the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities
under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed
to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the 0000 Xxx) may require compliance with some
other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii)
neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Securities under
the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any
exemption thereunder. The Securities may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account
or other loan or financing arrangement secured by the Securities and such pledge of Securities
shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Buyer
effecting a pledge of Securities shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof
or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document (as defined in Section 3(b)), including, without limitation, this Section 2(f).
(g) Legends. Such Buyer understands that the certificates or other instruments
representing the Notes and the Warrants and, the stock certificates representing the Conversion
Shares and the Warrant Shares, except as set forth below, 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

that the Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A.

such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or
affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.

cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Buyer is a party, or (iii)
result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal

3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE ISSUER PARTIES. Each of the Issuer Parties,
jointly and severally, represents and warrants to each of the Buyers that, as of the date hereof
and as of the Closing Date, except as set forth in any disclosure schedules hereto or as otherwise
described in the SEC Documents (as defined in Section 3(k) below) prior to the date hereof:
(a) Organization and Qualification. The Company, its “Subsidiaries” (which for
purposes of this Agreement means “Significant Subsidiary” as such term is defined in Rule 1-02 of
Regulation S-X of the 1933 Act) (including, without limitation, Liberator Supply) and the
Guarantors are entities duly organized and validly existing and, to the extent legally applicable,
in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are formed, and have the
requisite power and authorization to own their properties and to carry on their business as now
being conducted. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign entity to
do business and to the extent legally applicable, 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 reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As used in this
Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on the business, properties,
assets, operations, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or
6
prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or on the transactions
contemplated hereby and the other Transaction Documents or by the agreements and instruments to be
entered into in connection herewith or therewith, or on the authority or ability of the Company to
perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents (as defined below). The Company has no
Subsidiaries other than Liberator Supply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entities in which the
Company, directly or indirectly, owns any of the capital stock or holds an equity or similar
interest which are not Subsidiaries, taken as whole, do not have income, revenues or assets which
are material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, individually, or taken as a whole. The Company
does not, directly or indirectly, own any joint venture or similar entity or capital stock or hold
an equity or similar interests.
(b) Authorization; Enforcement; Validity. Each of the Issuer Parties has the
requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this
Agreement, and to the extent it is a party thereto, the Notes, each Guaranty, the Irrevocable
Transfer Agent Instructions (as defined in Section 5(b)), the Warrants and each of the other
agreements entered into by the parties hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) to which such Issuer Party is a party,
and with respect to the Company, to issue the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof and
thereof. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Issuer Party party thereto
and the consummation by such Issuer Party of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby,
including, without limitation, the issuance of the Notes and the Warrants, the execution and
delivery of each Guaranty, the reservation for issuance and the issuance of the Conversion Shares
issuable upon conversion of the Notes, and the reservation for issuance and issuance of Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, have been duly authorized by the applicable Issuer
Party’s board of directors, no further filing, consent, or authorization is required by any Issuer
Party, its board of directors or its stockholders. This Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents of even date herewith have been duly executed and delivered by each Issuer Party party
thereto, and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Issuer Party, enforceable
against such Issuer Party in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability
may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the
enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies and the rules and regulations of Medicare
and Medicaid.
(c) Issuance of Securities. The issuance of the Notes and the Warrants are duly
authorized by the Company and upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be
free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. As of the Closing, a
number of shares of Common Stock shall have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance which
equals or exceeds 110% of the aggregate of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable
(i) upon conversion of the Notes and (ii) upon exercise of the Warrants. Upon conversion or
exercise in accordance with the Notes or the Warrants, as the case may be, the Conversion Shares
and the Warrant Shares, respectively, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free
from all preemptive or similar rights, taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof,
with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock. Assuming the
accuracy of each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement,
the offer and issuance by the Company of the Securities is exempt from registration under the 1933
Act.
7
(d) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents by the Issuer Party party thereto and the consummation by such Issuer
Party of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, with
respect to the Company, the issuance of the Notes and Warrants and reservation for issuance and
issuance of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares) will not (i) result in a violation of any
certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, any certificate of designations or other
constituent documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any capital stock of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries or bylaws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) conflict
with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become
a default) in any respect under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order,
judgment or decree (including foreign, federal and state securities laws and regulations and the
rules and regulations of the Pink OTC Markets Inc. (the “Principal Market”)) applicable to the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries is bound or affected, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, to the
extent that such violation conflict, default or right would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(e) Consents. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is required to obtain
any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court,
governmental agency or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any other Person in order for
any Issuer Party to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under or contemplated by the
Transaction Documents to which such Issuer Party is a party, in each case in accordance with the
terms hereof or thereof, except for any consent that may be required in connection with any
restriction on transfer under any laws, rules or regulations relating to Medicare. The Company and
its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances that might prevent the Company from
obtaining or effecting any of the registration, application or filings pursuant to the preceding
sentence. The Company is not in violation of the listing requirements of the Principal Market and
has no knowledge of any facts that would reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the Common
Stock in the foreseeable future.
(f) Acknowledgment Regarding Buyer’s Purchase of Securities. Each Issuer Party
acknowledges and agrees that each Buyer is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length
purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby and that no Buyer is (i) an officer or director of any Issuer Party, (ii) to the knowledge
of any Issuer Party, an “affiliate” of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined in Rule
144 of the 0000 Xxx) or (iii) to the knowledge of any Issuer Party, a “beneficial owner” of more
than 10% of the shares of Common Stock (as defined for purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)).
(g) No General Solicitation; Placement Agent’s Fees. Neither the Company, nor any of
its Subsidiaries or affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any
form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in
connection with the offer or sale of the Securities. The Company shall be responsible for the
payment of any placement agent’s fees, financial advisory fees, or brokers’ commissions (other than
for persons engaged by any Buyer or its investment advisor) relating to or arising out of the
8
transactions contemplated hereby. The Company acknowledges that it has engaged Ladenburg
Xxxxxxxx & Co. Inc. as placement agent (collectively, the “Agent”) in connection with the sale of
the Securities. Other than the Agent, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged
any placement agent or other agent in connection with the sale of the Securities.
(h) No Integrated Offering. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, any of their
affiliates, and any Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or
sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would
require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act, whether through
integration with prior offerings or otherwise, or cause this offering of the Securities to require
approval of stockholders of the Company for purposes of any applicable stockholder approval
provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any exchange or
automated quotation system on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.
None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, their affiliates and any Person acting on their behalf will
take any action or steps referred to in the preceding sentence that would require registration of
the issuance of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of the Securities to
be integrated with other offerings for purposes of any such applicable stockholder approval
provisions.
(i) Dilutive Effect. The Company understands and acknowledges that the number of
Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes and the Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants will increase in certain circumstances. The Company further acknowledges
that its obligation to issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with this
Agreement and the Notes and its obligation to issue the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the
Warrants in accordance with this Agreement and the Warrants is, in each case, absolute and
unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership
interests of other stockholders of the Company.
(j) Application of Takeover Protections; Rights Agreement. 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 Certificate of Incorporation (as
defined in Section 3(r)) or the laws of the state of its incorporation which is or could become
applicable to any Buyer as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including,
without limitation, the Company’s issuance of the Securities and any Buyer’s ownership of the
Securities. The Company and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in
order to render inapplicable any stockholder rights plan or similar arrangement relating to
accumulations of beneficial ownership of Common Stock or a change in control of the Company.
(k) SEC Documents; Financial Statements. Except as disclosed in the Company’s Current
Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2008, during the twelve (12) months prior to
the date hereof, the Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other
documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the

with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act. The Company has delivered to
the Buyers or their respective representatives true, correct and complete copies of the SEC
Documents not available on the XXXXX system. As of their respective filing 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, and 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. As of their respective filing dates, the financial statements of the Company included
in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting
requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, 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 its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended

information provided by or on behalf of the Company to the Buyers which is not included in the SEC
Documents, including, without limitation, information referred to in Section 2(d) of this Agreement
or in any disclosure schedules, 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
circumstance under which they are or were made not misleading.

Company under applicable securities laws in the SEC Documents.

Bylaws or their organizational charter or bylaws, respectively. Neither the Company nor any of its

judgment of the Company’s officers, has or is expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
12
Schedule 3(s) provides a detailed description of the material terms of any such
outstanding Indebtedness. For purposes of this Agreement: (x) “Indebtedness” of any Person means,
without duplication (A) all indebtedness for borrowed money, (B) all obligations issued, undertaken
or assumed as the deferred purchase price of property or services, including (without limitation)
“capital leases” in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (other than trade
payables entered into in the ordinary course of business), (C) all reimbursement or payment
obligations with respect to letters of credit, surety bonds and other similar instruments, (D) all
obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or similar instruments, including obligations so
evidenced incurred in connection with the acquisition of property, assets or businesses, (E) all
indebtedness created or arising under any conditional sale or other title retention agreement, or
incurred as financing, in either case with respect to any property or assets acquired with the
proceeds of such indebtedness (even though the rights and remedies of the seller or bank under such
agreement in the event of default are limited to repossession or sale of such property), (F) all
monetary obligations under any leasing or similar arrangement which, in connection with generally
accepted accounting principles, consistently applied for the periods covered thereby, is classified
as a capital lease, (G) all indebtedness referred to in clauses (A) through (F) above secured by
(or for which the holder of such Indebtedness has an existing right, contingent or otherwise, to be
secured by) any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other encumbrance upon or in
any property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) owned by any Person, even though
the Person which owns such assets or property has not assumed or become liable for the payment of
such indebtedness, and (H) all Contingent Obligations in respect of indebtedness or obligations of
others of the kinds referred to in clauses (A) through (G) above; (y) “Contingent Obligation”
means, as to any Person, any direct or indirect liability, contingent or otherwise, of that Person
with respect to any indebtedness, lease, dividend or other obligation of another Person if the
primary purpose or intent of the Person incurring such liability, or the primary effect thereof, is
to provide assurance to the obligee of such liability that such liability will be paid or
discharged, or that any agreements relating thereto will be complied with, or that the holders of
such liability will be protected (in whole or in part) against loss with respect thereto; and (z)
“Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a
corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization and a government or any department or agency
thereof.
(t) Absence of Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or
investigation before or by the Principal Market, any court, public board, government agency,
self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened
against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Common Stock or any of the
Company’s Subsidiaries or any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ officers or directors.
(u) Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of
recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management
of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its
Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any
insurance coverage sought or applied for and neither the Company nor any such 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 at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
13
(v) Employee Relations.
(i) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining
agreement or employs any member of a union. The Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their
relations with their employees are good. No executive officer of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (as defined in Rule 501(f) of the 0000 Xxx) has notified the Company or any such
Subsidiary that such officer intends to leave the Company or any such Subsidiary or otherwise
terminate such officer’s employment with the Company or any such Subsidiary. No executive officer
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any
material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information
agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive
covenant, and the continued employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters.
(ii) The Company and its Subsidiaries, to their knowledge, are in compliance with all federal,
state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices
and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in
compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect.
(w) Title. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee
simple to all real property and good and marketable title to all personal property owned by them
which is material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear
of all liens, encumbrances and defects (in each case, other than Permitted Liens (as defined in the
Notes)) or such as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not interfere with
the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries.
Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries are
held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not
material and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and
buildings by the Company and its Subsidiaries.
(x) Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess
adequate rights or licenses to use all trademarks, service marks and all applications and
registrations therefor, trade names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, original works of
authorship, inventions, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights (“Intellectual
Property Rights”) necessary to conduct their respective businesses as conducted on the date of this
Agreement. None of the Company’s registered, or applied for, Intellectual Property Rights have
expired or terminated or have been abandoned, or are expected to expire or terminate or expected to
be abandoned, within three years from the date of this Agreement. To the knowledge of the Company,
no product or service of the Company or its Subsidiaries infringes the Intellectual Property Rights
of others. There is no claim, action or proceeding being made or brought, or to the knowledge of
the Company or its Subsidiaries, being threatened, against the Company or its Subsidiaries
regarding (i) its Intellectual Property Rights, or (ii) that the products or services of the
Company or its Subsidiaries infringe the Intellectual Property Rights of others. Neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is aware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to
any of the foregoing infringements or claims, actions or proceedings. The
Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy,
confidentiality and value of all of their Intellectual Property Rights.
14
(y) Environmental Laws. The Company and its Subsidiaries, to their knowledge, (i) are
in compliance with any and all Environmental Laws (as hereinafter defined), (ii) have received all
permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to
conduct their respective businesses and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of
any such permit, license or approval where, in each of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii),
the failure to so comply could be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect. The term “Environmental Laws” means all federal, state, local or foreign
laws relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without
limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including,
without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of
chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes (collectively,
“Hazardous Materials”) into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing,
distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as
well as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters, injunctions, judgments,
licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered,
promulgated or approved thereunder.
(z) Subsidiary Rights. The Company or one of its Subsidiaries has the unrestricted
right to vote, and (subject to limitations imposed by applicable law) to receive dividends and
distributions on, all capital securities of its Subsidiaries as owned by the Company or such
Subsidiary.
(aa) Tax Status. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has made or filed all
foreign, federal and state income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by
any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) 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 (iii) has set aside on its books
provision 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.
(bb) Internal Accounting and Disclosure Controls. The Company and each of its
Subsidiaries 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 generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset and
liability accountability, (iii) access to assets or incurrence of liabilities is permitted only in
accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability
for assets and liabilities is compared with the existing assets and liabilities at reasonable
intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any difference. Except as described in
Item 8A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the SEC on January 18, 2008 and in
Part I, Item 3 of each of the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB filed with the SEC on
February 14, 2008, May 15, 2008 and August 14, 2008 (collectively,
15
the “Controls Disclosures”), the Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such
term is defined in Rule 13a-14 under the 0000 Xxx) that are effective in ensuring that information
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and
forms of the SEC, including, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under
the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal
executive officer or officers and its principal financial officer or officers, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Except as described in the Controls
Disclosures, during the twelve months prior to the date hereof neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries have received any notice or correspondence from any accountant relating to any
material weakness in any part of the system of internal accounting controls of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries.
(cc) Ranking of Notes and Guaranty. Except for the 3% Senior Convertible Notes due
2010 issued by the Company pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 22, 2008,
by and among the Company, Liberator Supply and Millennium, which shall rank pari passu with the
Notes, and the guarantees of such notes by the Guarantors, which guarantees are unsubordinated and
shall rank pari passu with the Guarantee of the Notes by the Guarantors, no Indebtedness of the
Company or the Guarantors is senior to the Notes or either Guaranty in right of payment, whether
with respect of payment of redemptions, interest, damages or upon liquidation or dissolution or
otherwise.
(dd) Off Balance Sheet Arrangements. 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 1934 Act filings and is not so disclosed or that
otherwise would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(ee) Investment Company Status. Neither Issuer Party is, and upon consummation of
the sale of the Securities neither Issuer Party will be, an “investment company,” a company
controlled by an “investment company” or an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal
underwriter” for, an “investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended.
(ff) Transfer Taxes. On the Closing Date, all stock transfer, documentary stamp taxes
or other taxes (other than income or similar taxes) which are required to be paid in connection
with the sale and transfer of the Securities to be sold to each Buyer hereunder will be, or will
have been, fully paid or provided for by the Company, and all laws imposing such taxes will be or
will have been complied with.
(gg) Manipulation of Price. The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting
on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in
the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the
sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) other than the Agent, sold, bid for, purchased, or
paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities, or (iii) other than the
Agent, paid or agreed to pay to any person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any
other securities of the Company.
16
(hh) Disclosure. All disclosure provided to the Buyers regarding the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries, their business and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the
Schedules to this Agreement, furnished by or on behalf of any Issuer Party is true and correct and
does 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 the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading. Each press release issued by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries during the twelve (12) months preceding the date of this Agreement did not at the time
of release contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
4. COVENANTS.
(a) Best Efforts. Each party shall use its best efforts timely to satisfy each of the
conditions to be satisfied by it as provided in Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement.
(b) Form D and Blue Sky. The Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the
Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to each Buyer promptly
after such filing. The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the
Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify
the Securities for sale to the Buyers at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable
securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from
such qualification), and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Buyers on or
prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall make all filings and reports relating to the offer
and sale of the Securities required under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of
the United States following the Closing Date.
(c) Reporting Status. Until the date on which the Buyers shall have sold all the
Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares and none of the Notes or Warrants is outstanding, (the
“Reporting Period”), the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file
reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would
permit such termination.
(d) Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the proceeds from the sale of the
Securities for general corporate purposes, and not for the redemption or repurchase of any of its
or its Subsidiaries’ equity securities.
(e) Financial Information. The Company agrees to send the following to each Buyer
during the Reporting Period (i) unless the following are filed with the SEC through XXXXX and are
available to the public through the XXXXX system, within one (1) Business Day after the filing

law to remain closed.
(f) Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of all of the Conversion
Shares and Warrant Shares, upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system,
if any, upon which the Common Stock is then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and
shall maintain, in accordance with the Notes and Warrants, such listing of all such securities from
time to time issuable under the terms of the Transaction Documents. The Company shall maintain the
Common Stock’s authorization for quotation on the Principal Market. Neither the Company nor any of
its Subsidiaries shall take any action which would be reasonably expected to result in the
delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on the Principal Market. The Company shall pay all
fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 4(f).
(g) Fees. Each party to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be
responsible for paying its own fees and expenses, except to the extent specifically provided for
otherwise under any Transaction Document. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any
placement agent’s fees, financial advisory fees, or broker’s commissions (other than for Persons
engaged by any Buyer) relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby,
including, without limitation, any fees payable to the Agent. The Company shall pay, and hold each
Buyer harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorney’s fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any claim relating to any
such payment.
(h) Disclosure of Transactions and Other Material Information. Each of the Issuer
Parties agrees that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any of the
Buyers or their agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or could reasonably be
expected to constitute material, nonpublic information. Each of the Issuer Parties understands and
confirms that each of the Buyers will rely on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in
securities of the Company. On or before the second (2nd) Business Day following the
date of this Agreement, the Company shall issue a press release and file a Current Report on Form
8-K describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in the form
required by the 1934 Act and attaching the material Transaction Documents (including, without
limitation, this Agreement, the form of the Notes and the form of Warrant) as exhibits to such
filing (such filing, including all such attachments, the “8-K Filing”). From and after the filing
of the 8-K Filing with the SEC, no Buyer shall be in possession of any material, nonpublic
information received from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
officers, directors, employees or agents, that is not disclosed in the 8-K Filing. Each Issuer
Party 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 Buyer with any material, nonpublic
information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the filing of the 8-K
Filing with the SEC without the express written consent of such Buyer, including, without
limitation, in connection with offers made to any Buyer pursuant to Section 4(j) below.
18
(i) Reservation of Shares. The Company shall take all action necessary to at all
times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than 110% of the sum of
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable (i) upon conversion of the Notes issued at the
Closing and (ii) upon exercise of the Warrants issued at the Closing (without taking into account
any limitations on the Conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants set forth in the Notes
and Warrants, respectively).
(j) Additional Issuances of Securities. From the date hereof until the two year
anniversary of the Closing, each Buyer who purchases at least $1,000,000 in aggregate principal
amount of Notes, so long as such Buyer and its affiliates collectively hold at least $1,000,000 in
aggregate principal amount of Notes (each such Buyer, a “Major Investor”), shall have the right in
the event the Company, directly or indirectly, offers, sells, grants any option to purchase, or
otherwise disposes of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other
disposition of) any of its or its Subsidiaries’ debt or equity securities, other than in connection
with Excluded Securities (as defined in the Notes) (any such offer, sale, grant, disposition or
announcement being referred to as a “Subsequent Placement”), to purchase their pro rata share of
such securities as follows:
(i) The Company shall deliver to each Major Investor an irrevocable written notice (the “Offer
Notice”) of any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange (the “Offer”) of the securities
being offered (the “Offered Securities”) in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (w)
identify and describe the Offered Securities, (x) describe the price and other terms upon which
they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be
issued, sold or exchanged, (y) identify the persons or entities (if known) to which or with which
the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued, sold or exchanged and (z) offer to issue and sell
to or exchange with such Buyers their pro rata share of the Offered Securities, allocated among
such Buyers (a) based on such Buyer’s pro rata share of the Offered Securities (the “Basic
Amount”), and (b) with respect to each Buyer that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any
additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of other Major
Investors as such Major Investor shall indicate it will purchase or acquire should the other Major
Investors subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription Amount”), which
process shall be repeated until the Buyers shall have an opportunity to subscribe for any remaining
Undersubscription Amount. For the purposes of this Section 4(j)(ii), a Major Investor’s “pro rata
share” shall be equal to the ratio of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock (including all
shares of Common Stock issuable or issued upon the conversion, exercise and exchange of all
Convertible Securities (as hereinafter defined) for the maximum number of shares of Common Stock
underlying such securities) held by such Major Investor immediately prior to the issuance of such
securities to (b) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including all shares of
Common Stock issuable or issued upon the conversion, exercise and exchange of all Convertible
Securities for the maximum number of shares of Common Stock underlying such securities)
immediately prior to the issuance of such securities. For the purposes of this Section 4(j)(ii),
“Convertible Securities” shall mean securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation, convertible notes, convertible or
exchangeable preferred stock, options, stock purchase rights and warrants.
19
(ii) To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, such Major Investor must deliver a written
notice to the Company prior to the end of the fifth (5th) Business Day after such
Buyer’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Offer Period”), setting forth the portion of such Buyer’s
Basic Amount that such Major Investor elects to purchase and, if such Major Investor shall elect to
purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Major Investor
elects to purchase (in either case, the “Notice of Acceptance”); provided, however,
that such Major Investors may not accept an Offer by electing to purchase less than 5% of the
Offered Securities on an aggregate basis. If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Major
Investors are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Major Investor who has set
forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in
addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for;
provided, however, that if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the
difference between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the
“Available Undersubscription Amount”), each Major Investor who has subscribed for any
Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available
Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Major Investor bears to the total Basic
Amounts of all Major Investors that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to
rounding by the Company to the extent its deems reasonably necessary. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, if the Company desires to modify or amend the terms and conditions
of the Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company may deliver to the Major
Investors a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period shall expire on the tenth (10th) Business Day
after such Major Investor’s receipt of such new Offer Notice.
(iii) The Company shall have fifteen (15) Business Days from the expiration of the Offer
Period above to offer, issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered Securities as to
which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Major Investors (the “Refused Securities”),
but only to the offerees described in the Offer Notice (if so described therein) and only upon
terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that are not
more favorable to the acquiring person or persons or less favorable to the Company than those set
forth in the Offer Notice and (ii) to publicly announce (a) the execution of such Subsequent
Placement Agreement, and (b) either (x) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such
Subsequent Placement Agreement or (y) the termination of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, which
shall be filed with the SEC on a Current Report on Form 8-K with such Subsequent Placement
Agreement and any documents contemplated therein filed as exhibits thereto.
(iv) In the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any
such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 4(j)(iii) above), then each
Major Investor may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number or amount of
the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less
than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that such Major Investor elected to purchase
pursuant to Section 4(j)(ii) above multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be
the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange
(including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Major Investors pursuant to Section 4(j)(iii)
above prior to such reduction) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of
the Offered Securities. In the event that any Major Investor so elects to reduce the number or
amount of Offered Securities specified in
20
its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue, sell or exchange more than the reduced
number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered
to the Major Investors in accordance with Section 4(j)(i) above.
(v) Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused
Securities, the Major Investors shall acquire from the Company, and the Company shall issue to the
Major Investors, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance,
as reduced pursuant to Section 4(j)(iv) above if the Major Investors have so elected, upon the
terms and conditions specified in the Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, if the Company does not consummate the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of
all or less than all of the Refused Securities within fifteen (15) Business Days of the expiration
of the Offer Period, the Company shall issue to the Major Investors the number or amount of Offered
Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 4(j)(iv) above if
the Major Investors have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The
purchase by the Major Investors of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the
preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and the Major Investors of a purchase agreement
relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Major
Investors and their respective counsel.
(vi) Any Offered Securities not acquired by the Major Investors or other persons in accordance
with Section 4(j)(iii) above may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are again offered to
the Major Investors under the procedures specified in this Agreement.
(vii) The Company and the Major Investors agree that if any Major Investor elects to
participate in the Offer, (x) neither the agreement regarding the Subsequent Placement (the
“Subsequent Placement Agreement”) with respect to such Offer nor any other transaction documents
related thereto (collectively, the “Subsequent Placement Documents”) shall include any term or
provisions whereby any Major Investor shall be required to agree to any restrictions in trading as
to any securities of the Company owned by such Major Investor prior to such Subsequent Placement,
and (y) any registration rights set forth in such Subsequent Placement Documents shall be similar
in all material respects to the registration rights contained in the Letter Agreement between the
Company and such Major Investor.
(viii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(j) and unless otherwise
agreed to by the Major Investors, the Company shall either confirm in writing to the Major
Investors that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or shall
publicly disclose its intention to issue the Offered Securities, in either case in such a manner
such that the Major Investors will not be in possession of material non-public information, by the
fifteen (15th) Business Day following delivery of the Offer Notice. If by the fifteen
(15th) following delivery of the Offer Notice no public disclosure regarding a
transaction with respect to the Offered Securities has been made, and no notice regarding the
abandonment of such transaction has been received by the Major Investors, such transaction shall be
deemed to have been abandoned and the Major Investors shall not be deemed to be in possession of
any material, non-public information with respect to the Company. Should the Company decide to
pursue such transaction with respect to the Offered Securities, the Company shall provide each
Major Investor with another Offer Notice and each Major Investor will again have the right of
21
participation set forth in this Section 4(j). The Company shall not be permitted to deliver
more than one such Offer Notice to the Major Investors in any 60 day period.
(ix) The provisions of this Section 4(j) shall not apply in connection with the issuance of
any Excluded Securities (as defined in the Notes) or with any issuance described on Schedule
4(j).
(k) Removal of Legends. Upon the request of a Buyer as set forth below, the legend
set forth in Section 2(g) above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without
such legend or any other legend to the holder of the applicable Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares
(such Securities, “Underlying Shares”) upon which it is stamped or issue to such holder by
electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) if
(i) such Underlying Shares are registered for resale under the 1933 Act (provided that, if the
Buyer is selling pursuant to an effective registration statement registering the Underlying Shares
for resale (the effective date of such registration statement, the “Effective Date”), the Buyer
agrees to only sell such Underlying Shares during such time that such registration statement is
effective and not withdrawn or suspended, and only as permitted by such registration statement),
(ii) such Underlying Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (if the transferor is not
an affiliate of the Company), or (iii) such Underlying Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144,
without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information
required under Rule 144 as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions.
Following the earlier of (i) the Effective Date or (ii) Rule 144 becoming available for the resale
of the Underlying Shares without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the
current public information required under Rule 144 as to such securities and without volume or
manner-of-sale restrictions, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue to the transfer agent for
the Common Stock the legal opinion referred to in the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions or
deliver to the transfer agent for the Common Stock irrevocable instructions that the transfer agent
for the Common Stock shall reissue a certificate representing the applicable Underlying Shares or
issue a certificate representing the applicable Underlying Shares without legend upon receipt by
the transfer agent for the Common Stock of the legended certificates for such Underlying Shares or
an Exercise Notice (as defined in the Warrants) or Conversion Notice (as defined in the Notes)
relating to the Warrants or the Notes in respect of which the Underlying Shares are being issued,
as the case may be. Any fees (with respect to the transfer agent for the Common Stock, the
Company’s counsel or otherwise) associated with the issuance of such opinion or the removal of such
legend shall be borne by the Company. Following the Effective Date, or at such earlier time as a
legend is no longer required for certain Underlying Shares, the Company will no later than three
(3) Business Days following the delivery by a Buyer to the Company or the transfer agent for the
Common Stock (with notice to the Company) of (i) a legended certificate representing such
Underlying Shares (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in
form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer) or (ii) an Exercise Notice or Conversion
Notice, as the case may be, in the manner stated in the Warrants or the Notes, as the case may be,
to effect the exercise of such Warrant or the conversion of such Note, as the case may be, in
accordance with its terms, and an opinion of counsel to the extent required by Section 2(g),
deliver or cause to be delivered to such Buyer a certificate representing such Underlying Shares
that is free from all restrictive and other legends. Certificates for Underlying Shares subject to
legend removal hereunder may
be transmitted by the transfer agent for the Common Stock to the Buyers by crediting the
account of the Buyer’s prime broker with DTC.
22
(l) Furnishing of Information. In order to enable the Buyers to sell the Underlying
Shares under Rule 144 for a period of one (1) year from the Closing, the Company shall 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 date
hereof pursuant to the 1934 Act (collectively, “Reports”) through the one (1) year anniversary of
the Closing. To the extent that the Company fails to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect
thereof and file within the applicable grace period) Reports during the period commencing on the
six (6) month anniversary of the Closing through, but not including, the one (1) year anniversary
of the Closing (the “Information Period”), the Company shall pay to Buyers then holding Underlying
Shares which are subject to the transfer restrictions of the 1933 Act, as liquidated damages, an
amount equal to 0.5% per month of the portion of the Purchase Price relating to such Underlying
Shares during that portion of the Information Period that the Company shall be in breach of its
obligations under this Section 4(l). Any such liquidated damages shall be paid by the Company to
each Buyer due said amounts on or prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day following the one (1)
month anniversary of any such failure by the Company giving rise to such liquidated damages.
5. REGISTER; TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.
(a) Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such
other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to each holder of Securities),
a register for the Notes and the Warrants in which the Company shall record the name and address of
the Person in whose name the Notes and the Warrants have been issued (including the name and
address of each transferee), the principal amount of Notes held by such Person, the number of
Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes and the number of Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants held by such Person. The Company shall keep the register open and
available at all times during business hours for inspection of any Buyer or its legal
representatives.
(b) Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to
its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates or credit shares to
the applicable balance accounts at DTC, registered in the name of each Buyer or its respective
nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares issued at the Closing or upon
conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants in such amounts as specified from time to time
by each Buyer to the Company upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants in the form
of Exhibit E attached hereto (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”). The Company
warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in
this Section 5(b), and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(g) hereof, will be
given by the Company to its transfer agent, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely
transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. If a Buyer effects a sale, assignment or transfer
of the Securities in accordance with Section 2(f), the Company shall permit the transfer and shall
promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the
applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by
23
such Buyer to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. In the event that such sale,
assignment or transfer involves Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares sold, assigned or transferred
pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144, the transfer agent shall
issue such Securities to the Buyer, assignee or transferee, as the case may be, without any
restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will
cause irreparable harm to a Buyer. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law
for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5(b) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event
of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 5(b), that a
Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction
restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of
showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
6. CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY’S OBLIGATION TO SELL.

to each Buyer at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date, of each

proceeding is improper. 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

effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party;
provided that a facsimile signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the

Fundamental Transaction (as that term is defined in Section 15(j) of the Warrants) (unless the

order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby.
(k) Indemnification.
(i) In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and
acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under
the Transaction Documents, the Issuer Parties shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless
each Buyer and each other holder of the Securities and all of their stockholders, partners,
members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing
Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”)
from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties,
fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection
29
therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which
indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements
(the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or
relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by any
Issuer Party in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document
contemplated hereby or thereby or (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of any
Issuer Party contained in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or
document contemplated hereby or thereby. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the
Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Buyers shall make the maximum contribution to the
payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under
applicable law.
(ii) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8(k) of notice of any
claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8(k), notify the indemnifying party
in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to
notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it
may have under this Section 8(k) except to the extent the indemifying party has been prejudiced by
such failure. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it
shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to
participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified
indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified
party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume
the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified
party under this Section 8(k) for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation. No indemnifying party shall:
(A) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any
judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in
respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the
indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such
settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified
party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding, or
(B) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written
consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with
its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action,
the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and
against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
(l) 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.
30
(m) 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 which such holders have
been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such
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),
to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all
other rights granted by law. Furthermore, each of the Issuer Parties recognizes that in the event
that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under the Transaction
Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Buyers. Each of the Issuer
Parties therefore agrees that the Buyers shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent
injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without
posting a bond or other security.
(n) Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever
any Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the
Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then
such Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to
the Issuer Parties, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice
to its future actions and rights.
(o) Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company or either Guarantor makes a
payment or payments to the Buyers hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents
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, any Guarantor, a trustee,
receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law,
foreign, 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.
31
(p) Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each
Buyer under any Transaction Document 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 under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction
Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to
constitute the Buyers as, and each of the Issuer Parties acknowledges that the Buyers do not so
constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a
presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group, and neither of the
Issuer Parties will assert any such claim with respect to such obligations or the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents and each of the Issuer Parties acknowledges that the
Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each of the Issuer Parties acknowledges and each Buyer
confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated
hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer shall be
entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the
rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be
necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose.
