on each Trading Day of the Draw Down Pricing Period. The number of shares issuable on a Trading

Trading Day.
Section 3.3 Limitation on Draw Downs. Only one Draw Down shall be permitted for each
Draw Down Pricing Period.
Section 3.4 Trading Cushion. Unless the parties agree in writing otherwise, there
shall be a minimum of three (3) Trading Days between the expiration of any Draw Down Pricing Period
and the beginning of the next succeeding Draw Down Pricing Period.
Section 3.5 Settlement. The number of Shares purchased by the Investor in any Draw
Down shall be determined and settled on two separate dates. Shares purchased by the Investor
during the first four Trading Days of any Draw Down Pricing Period shall be determined and settled
no later than the sixth Trading Day of such Draw Down Pricing Period. Shares purchased by the
Investor during the second four Trading Days of any Draw Down Pricing Period shall be determined
and settled no later than the second Trading Day after the last Trading Day of such Draw Down
Pricing Period. Each date on which settlement of the purchase and sale of Shares occurs hereunder
being referred to as a “Settlement Date.” The Investor shall provide the Company with
delivery instructions for the Shares to be issued at each Settlement Date at least two Trading Days
in advance of such Settlement Date. The number of Shares actually issued shall be rounded down to
the nearest whole number of Shares.
Section 3.6 Delivery of Shares; Payment of Draw Down Amount.
(a) On each Settlement Date, the Company shall deliver the Shares purchased by the Investor to
the Investor or its designees exclusively via book-entry through the DTC to an account designated
by the Investor, and upon receipt of the Shares, the Investor shall cause payment thereof to be
made to the Company’s designated account by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if the
Shares are received by the Investor no later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), or next day available
funds, if the Shares are received thereafter.
(b) For each Trading Day during a Draw Down Pricing Period where the VWAP is less than the
greater of (i) 90% of the Closing Price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the commencement of such Draw Down Pricing Period, or (ii) $1.75, such
Trading Day shall not be used in calculating the number of Shares to be issued in connection with
such Draw Down, and the Draw Down Amount in respect of such Draw Down Pricing Period shall be
reduced by one eighth (1/8th) of the initial Draw Down Amount specified in the Draw Down Notice.
If trading in the Company’s Common Stock is suspended for any reason for more than three (3)
consecutive or non-consecutive hours during any Trading Day during a Draw Down Pricing Period, such
Trading Day shall not be used in calculating the number of Shares to be issued in connection with
such Draw Down, and the Draw Down Amount in respect of such Draw Down Pricing Period shall be
reduced by one eighth (1/8th) of the initial Draw Down Amount specified in the Draw Down Notice.
Section 3.7 Failure to Deliver Shares. If on any Settlement Date, the Company fails
to cause the delivery of the Shares purchased by the Investor, and such failure is not cured within
two (2) Trading Days following such Settlement Date, the Company shall pay to the Investor on
- 7 -
demand in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the
Investor the “Make Whole Amount;” provided, however, that in the event that the Company is
prevented from delivering Shares in respect of any such Settlement Date in a timely manner by any
fact or circumstance that is not reasonably within the control of, or directly attributable to, the
Company, or is otherwise reasonably within the control of, or directly attributable to, the
Investor, then such two (2) Trading Day period shall be automatically extended until such time as
such fact or circumstance is cured. As used herein, the Make Whole Amount shall be an amount equal
to the sum of (i) the Draw Down Amount actually paid by the Investor in respect of such Shares plus
(ii) an amount equal to the actual loss suffered by the Investor in respect of sales to subsequent
purchasers, pursuant to transactions entered into before the Settlement Date, of the Shares that
were required to be delivered by the Company, which shall be based upon documentation reasonably
satisfactory to the Company demonstrating the difference (if greater than zero) between (A) the
price per share paid by the Investor to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock necessary
for the Investor to meet its share delivery obligations to such subsequent purchasers minus (B) the
average Draw Down Discount Price during the applicable Draw Down Pricing Period. In the event that
the Make Whole Amount is not paid within two (2) Trading Days following a demand therefor from the
Investor, the Make Whole Amount shall accrue interest per annum compounded daily at a rate equal to
the greater of (i) the prime rate of interest then in effect as published by the Wall Street
Journal plus three percent (3%) and (ii) ten percent (10%) up to and including the date on which
the Make Whole Amount is actually paid. For the purposes of this Section 3.7 facts or
circumstances that are reasonably within the control of the Company include such facts and
circumstances solely attributable to acts or omissions of the Company, its officers, directors,
employees, agents and representatives, including, without limitation, any transfer agent(s),
accountant(s) and/or attorney(s) engaged by the Company in connection with the Company’s
performance of its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
this Agreement, in the event that the Company pays the Make Whole Amount (plus interest, if
applicable) in respect of any Settlement Date in accordance with this Section 3.7, such payment
shall be the Investor’s sole remedy in respect of the Company’s failure to deliver Shares in
respect of such Settlement Date, and the Company shall not be obligated to deliver such Shares.

Section 6.12 Prospectus Delivery. From time to time for such period as in the
reasonable opinion of counsel for the Investor a prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be
delivered in connection with sales by the Investor, the Company will expeditiously deliver to the
Investor, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (and of any amendment or supplement
thereto) as the Investor may reasonably request. The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus
(and of any amendment or supplement thereto) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities
Act and state securities laws in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares and the
Warrant Shares and for such period of time thereafter as the Prospectus is required by the
Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Shares and the Warrant Shares.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be under any obligation to the
Investor to supplement the Prospectus or to reflect the issuance of any Shares pursuant to a Draw
Down or deliver any Prospectus as so supplemented at any time prior to the Trading Day following
the Settlement Date with respect to such Draw Down.

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 7.4 Effective Registration Statement. Upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Registration Statement shall have

- 20 -
Investor shall have received notice that the Commission has issued or intends to issue a stop
order with respect to the Registration Statement or that the Commission otherwise has suspended or
withdrawn the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, either temporarily or permanently, or
intends or has threatened to do so (unless the Commission’s concerns have been addressed and the

such action), and (ii) no other suspension of the use or withdrawal of the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall exist.
Section 7.5 No Knowledge. The Company shall have no Knowledge of any event that could

which a Draw Down Notice is delivered) as of the Settlement Date.
Section 7.6 No Suspension. Trading in the Company’s Common Stock shall not have been
suspended by the Commission, the Principal Market or the FINRA and trading in securities generally

contemplated by this Agreement.

or change the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or seeking damages in connection with
such transactions.

Day immediately preceding such Draw Down Notice, registered under the Registration Statement to
issue and sell such Shares in accordance with such Draw Down Notice.
Section 7.10 Warrant. The Warrant shall have been duly executed, delivered and issued
to the Investor, and the Company shall not be in default in any material respect under any of the
provisions thereof, provided that any refusal by or failure of the Company to issue and deliver
Warrant Shares in respect of any exercise (in whole or in part) thereof shall be deemed to be
material for the purposes of this Section 7.10.
Section 7.11 Legal Opinion. The Investor shall have received the form of opinion
mutually agreed to between the parties on the date of this Agreement, it being acknowledged and
agreed that such opinion shall be in the form of a standard corporate opinion applicable to

ARTICLE VIII
TERMINATION
TERMINATION
Section 8.1 Term. Unless otherwise terminated in accordance with Section 8.2 below,
this Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the expiration of the Commitment
Period or (ii) the issuance of Shares pursuant to this Agreement in an amount equal to the Maximum
Commitment Amount.
Section 8.2 Other Termination.
(a) The Investor may terminate this Agreement upon (x) one (1) business day’s notice if the
Company enters into any Prohibited Transaction as set forth in Section 6.7 without the Investor’s
prior written consent, or (y) one (1) business day’s notice if the Investor provides written notice
of a Material Adverse Effect to the Company, and such Material Adverse Effect continues for a
period of ten (10) Trading Days after the receipt by the Company of such notice.
(b) The Investor may terminate this Agreement upon one (1) business day’s notice to the
Company at any time in the event that the Registration Statement is not initially declared
effective in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, provided, however, that in the
event the Registration Statement is declared effective prior to the delivery of such notice, the
Investor shall thereafter have no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section
8.2(b).
(c) The Company may terminate this Agreement upon one (1) business day’s notice; provided,
however, that the Company shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2(c) during
any Draw Down Pricing Period; provided further, that, in the event of any termination of this
Agreement by the Company hereunder, so long as the Investor owns Shares purchased hereunder and/or
Warrant Shares, unless all of such shares of Common Stock may be resold by the Investor without
registration and without any time, volume or manner limitations pursuant to Rule 144(b) (or any
similar provision then in effect) under the Securities Act, the Company shall not suspend or
withdraw the Registration Statement or otherwise cause the Registration Statement to become
ineffective, or voluntarily delist the Common Stock from, the Principal Market without listing the
Common Stock on another Principal Market.
(d) Each of the parties hereto may terminate this Agreement upon one (1) day’s notice if the
other party has breached a material representation, warranty or covenant to this Agreement and such
breach is not remedied within ten (10) Trading Days after notice of such breach is delivered to the
breaching party.
Section 8.3 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination by the Company or the
Investor, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other party and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement shall be terminated without further action by either party. If
- 22 -
this
Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 8.1 or 8.2 herein, this Agreement shall become void
and of no further force and effect, except as provided in Section 10.13. Nothing in this Section
8.3 shall be deemed to release the Company or the Investor from any liability for any breach under
this Agreement occurring prior to such termination, or to impair the rights of the Company and the
Investor to compel specific performance by the other party of its obligations under this Agreement
arising prior to such termination.
ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 9.1 Indemnification.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Article IX, unless disputed as set forth in Section
9.2, the Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Investor and its affiliates and
their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries, partners, members and
controlling persons (each, an “Investor Indemnified Party”), to the fullest extent
permitted by law from and against any and all Damages directly resulting from or directly arising
out of any breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement (except as otherwise
specifically provided) by the Company in this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the
Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable under this Article IX to an
Investor Indemnified Party to the extent that such Damages resulted or arose from the breach by an
Investor Indemnified Party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of an Investor
Indemnified Party contained in this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrant or
the negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct or bad faith of an Investor Indemnified Party.
The parties intend that any Damages subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX will be
net of insurance proceeds (which the Investor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to
recover or to cause any Investor Indemnified Party to recover). Accordingly, the amount which the
Company is required to pay to any Investor Indemnified Party hereunder (a “Company Indemnity
Payment”) will be reduced by any insurance proceeds actually recovered by or on behalf of any
Investor Indemnified Party in reduction of the related Damages. In addition, if an Investor
Indemnified Party receives a Company Indemnity Payment required by this Article IX in respect of
any Damages and subsequently receives any such insurance proceeds, then the Investor will pay or,
as applicable, will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Investor Indemnified Party to
pay to the Company an amount equal to the Company Indemnity Payment received less the amount of the
Company Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the insurance proceeds had been received,
realized or recovered before the Company Indemnity Payment was made.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Article IX, unless disputed as set forth in Section
9.2, the Investor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates and
their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries, partners, members and
controlling persons (each, a “Company Indemnified Party”), to the fullest extent
permitted by law from and against any and all Damages directly resulting from or directly
arising out of any breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement by the Investor
in this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrant; provided, however, that the
Investor shall not be liable under this Article IX to a Company Indemnified Party to the extent
that such Damages resulted or arose from the breach by a Company Indemnified Party of any
- 23 -
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of a Company Indemnified Party contained in this
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrant or the negligence, recklessness,
willful misconduct or bad faith of a Company Indemnified Party. The parties intend that any
Damages subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX will be net of insurance proceeds
(which the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to recover or to cause any Company
Indemnified Party to recover). Accordingly, the amount which the Investor is required to pay to
any Company Indemnified Party hereunder (an “Investor Indemnity Payment”) will be reduced
by any insurance proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of any Company Indemnified
Party in reduction of the related Damages. In addition, if a Company Indemnified Party receives an
Investor Indemnity Payment required by this Article IX in respect of any Damages and subsequently
receives any such insurance proceeds, then the Company will pay or, as applicable, will use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company Indemnified Party to pay to the Investor an
amount equal to the Investor Indemnity Payment received less the amount of the Investor Indemnity
Payment that would have been due if the insurance proceeds had been received, realized or recovered
before the Investor Indemnity Payment was made.
Section 9.2 Notification of Claims for Indemnification. Each party entitled to
indemnification under this Article IX (an “Indemnified Party”) shall, promptly after the
receipt of notice of the commencement of any claim against such Indemnified Party in respect of
which indemnity may be sought from the party obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party under
this Article IX (the “Indemnifying Party”), notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the
commencement thereof. Any such notice shall describe the claim in reasonable detail. The failure
of any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party of any such action shall not relieve
the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party (a) other
than pursuant to this Article IX or (b) under this Article IX unless, and only to the extent that,
such failure results in the Indemnifying Party’s forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses or
the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay. The procedures listed below shall govern the
procedures for the handling of indemnification claims.
(a) Any claim for indemnification for Damages that do not result from a Third Party Claim as
defined in the following paragraph, shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnified
Party to the Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days
after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does
not respond within such thirty (30) day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have
refused to accept responsibility to make payment as set forth in Section 9.1. If such Indemnifying
Party does not respond within such thirty (30) day period or rejects such claim in whole or in
part, the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as specified in this Agreement.
(b) If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a
person or entity not a party to this Agreement of any threatened legal action or
claim (collectively a “Third Party Claim”), with respect to which an Indemnifying
Party may be obligated to provide indemnification, the Indemnified Party shall give such
Indemnifying Party written notice thereof within twenty (20) days after becoming aware of such
Third Party Claim.
- 24 -
(c) An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and, unless the Indemnifying Party has
specified any reservations or exceptions, to seek to settle or compromise) at such Indemnifying
Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any Third Party Claim. Within
thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from an Indemnified Party (or sooner if the nature of
such Third Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party
whether the Indemnifying Party will assume responsibility for defending such Third Party Claim,
which election shall specify any reservations or exceptions. If such Indemnifying Party does not
respond within such thirty (30) day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, the
Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as specified in this Agreement. In case
any such Third Party Claim shall be brought against any Indemnified Party, and it shall notify the
Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume
the defense thereof at its own expense, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in its
reasonable judgment; provided, however, that any Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, retain
separate counsel to participate in such defense at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in any Third Party Claim in which both the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and an Indemnified
Party, on the other hand, are, or are reasonably likely to become, a party, such Indemnified Party
shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to control its own defense of such claim if, in
the reasonable opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Party, either (x) one or more significant
defenses are available to the Indemnified Party that are not available to the Indemnifying Party or
(y) a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and
such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, that would make such separate representation advisable;
provided, however, that in such circumstances the Indemnifying Party (i) shall not be liable for
the fees and expenses of more than one counsel to all Indemnified Parties and (ii) shall reimburse
the Indemnified Parties for such reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel incurred in any such
Third Party Claim, as such expenses are incurred, provided that the Indemnified Parties agree to
repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party was not obligated to
provide indemnification under this Article IX. The Indemnifying Party agrees that it shall not,
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or consent to the
entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim relating to the matters contemplated
hereby (if any Indemnified Party is a party thereto or has been actually threatened to be made a
party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of
such Indemnified Party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim. The
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim effected against an
Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying Party’s written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The rights accorded to an Indemnified Party
hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Party may have at common law, by
separate agreement or otherwise; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing in this Article IX shall restrict or limit any
rights that any Indemnified Party may have to seek equitable relief.

purported to have been rendered on behalf of the indemnifying party in connection with this

Section 10.5 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any rights of the Investor or the
Company hereunder may be assigned by either party to any other Person.
Section 10.6 Amendment; No Waiver. No party shall be liable or bound to any other
party in any manner by any warranties, representations or covenants except as specifically set
forth in this Agreement, the Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement. Except as expressly
provided in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended, waived,
discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by both parties hereto. The
failure of either party to insist on strict compliance with this Agreement, or to exercise any
right or remedy under this Agreement, shall not constitute a waiver of any rights provided under
this Agreement, nor estop the parties from thereafter demanding full and complete compliance nor
prevent the parties from exercising such a right or remedy in the future.
Section 10.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and
the Warrant set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, negotiations and
understandings between the parties, both oral and written, relating to the subject matter hereof.
Section 10.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall
continue in full force and effect without said provision; provided that, if the severance of
such provision materially changes the economic benefits of this Agreement to either party as such
- 28 -
benefits are anticipated as of the date hereof, then such party may terminate this Agreement on
five (5) business days prior written notice to the other party. In such event, the Registration
Rights Agreement will terminate simultaneously with the termination of this Agreement; provided
that in the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company in accordance with this Section
10.8 and the Warrant Shares either have not been registered for resale by the Investor in
accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement or are otherwise not freely tradable (if and when
issued) in accordance with applicable law, then the Registration Rights Agreement in respect of the
registration of the Warrant Shares shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 10.9 Title and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are
used for the convenience of reference and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting
this Agreement.
Section 10.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts,
each of which may be executed by less than all of the parties and shall be deemed to be an original
instrument which shall be enforceable against the parties actually executing such counterparts and
all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 10.11 Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be construed under the laws of the
State of New York without regard to principles of conflict of laws that would result in the
application of any law other than the laws of the State of New York.
Section 10.12 Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction.
(a) The Company and the Investor acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in
the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their
specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that either party shall be
entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this
Agreement by the other party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or
thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which either party may be entitled by law or
equity.
(b) Each of the Company and the Investor (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of
the United States District Court and other courts of the United States sitting in the State of New
York for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement and (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding,
any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that the suit,
action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or
proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the Investor consents to process being served in
any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in
effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good
and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this Section 10.12 shall affect
or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
Section 10.13 Survival. The representations and warranties of the Company and the
Investor contained in Articles IV and V and the covenants contained in Articles V, VI and X
- 29 -
shall
survive the execution and delivery hereof and the Closing until the termination of this Agreement,
and the agreements and covenants set forth in Article VIII and Article IX of this Agreement shall
survive the execution and delivery hereof and the Closing hereunder.
Section 10.14 Publicity. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or
regulation, or NASDAQ rule or judicial process, prior to the Closing, neither the Company nor the
Investor shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement or announcement with
respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the existence of this
Agreement. In the event the Company is required by law, regulation, NASDAQ rule or judicial
process, based upon reasonable advice of the Company’s counsel, to issue a press release or
