As used herein, the phrase “to the Company’s knowledge” or similar statements to that effect shall mean to the actual knowledge of the following individuals as of the date hereof: Xxx Xxxxxx, Don Xxxxxxx, Xxx Chaimovski, Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx and Xxx Xxxxx.

Section 2.1 Organization and Qualification. The Company is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with full corporate power and authority to conduct its business as currently conducted. The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in Texas, which is the only jurisdiction, other than the state of its incorporation, in which the nature of the business conducted by it or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not have a Material Adverse Effect and, to the Company’s knowledge, no proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing, or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail, such corporate power and authority or qualification.

Section 2.2 Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to perform its obligations under this Agreement, to

consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to issue the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof and to issue the Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. This Agreement has been duly executed by the Company and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except (i) as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or moratorium or similar Laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally, (ii) as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity and (iii) as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by state or federal securities Laws or public policy underlying such Laws.

Section 2.3 Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company, as of April 21, 2008, consisted of 89,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 5,964,342 shares were issued and outstanding and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 18,750 were designated Series A Preferred Stock and none of which were issued and outstanding. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, and were issued in compliance with applicable securities Laws. Except as set forth in Section 2.3 of the Disclosure Schedules and the Shares, the Company does not have outstanding any options to purchase, or any preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, any securities or obligations convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or any contracts or commitments to issue or sell, shares of its capital stock or any such options, rights, convertible securities or obligations. The Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), as in effect on the date hereof, and the Company’s Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), as in effect on the date hereof, are each filed as exhibits to the SEC Documents. Except as set forth in Section 2.3 of the Disclosure Schedules, or as contemplated by this Agreement, there are no stockholder agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the Common Stock to which the Company is a party or for which the Company otherwise has knowledge. The Company has consummated a “Business Combination” within the meaning of Article Sixth of the Certificate of Incorporation such that the provisions of (A) through (E) of such Article Sixth shall have ceased to apply including, without limitation, the cessation of any right of any holder of IPO Shares (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) to require the redemption of such IPO Shares by the Company for cash.

Section 2.4 Issuance of Securities. The Shares are duly authorized and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of stockholders of the Company. The Conversion Shares have been duly and validly reserved and upon issuance in accordance with the Certificate of Designation, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will be free and clear of any liens or encumbrances (including preemption rights) caused or created by the Company or its Subsidiaries. Assuming the accuracy of all representations and warranties of the Purchasers set out in Article III, the offer and issuance by the Company of the Shares and the Conversion Shares are exempt from registration under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities Laws.

Section 2.5 Subsidiaries. Set forth on Section 2.5 of the Disclosure Schedules is a list of each corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or other entity, showing as to each such entity the percentage of the total equity interest thereof which is owned by the Company (individually, a “Subsidiary,” and collectively, the “Subsidiaries”). All outstanding equity interest of such Subsidiary owned by the Company are validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, and the Company has good and marketable title thereto free and clear of any liens or encumbrances. Each such Subsidiary is validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction under which it is formed and has full requisite entity power and authority to own its property and carry on its business as presently conducted by it and is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation authorized to do business in all jurisdictions in which the character of the properties owned or the nature of the business conducted makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or licensed would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has issued or sold any options, warrants, calls, or commitments of any kind relating to any equity security in such Subsidiary which remain outstanding.

Section 2.6 No Conflicts; Government Consents and Permits.

(a) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the issuance of the Shares, will not (i) conflict with or result in a violation of any provision of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or similar or comparable organizational documents of any Subsidiary, (ii) violate or conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or any event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of notice, consent, termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture, or instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or, or (iii) except for (A) any notice filings required to be made under federal or state securities Laws in connection with an exemption from the registration requirements thereof and (B) any required filings or notifications regarding quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, result in a violation of any Law (including United States federal and state securities Laws and regulations and regulations of any self-regulatory organizations to which the Company or any Subsidiary or their respective securities are subject) applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) only, for such conflicts, breaches, defaults, and violations as would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in Section 2.6(a) of the Disclosure Schedules, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the issuance of the Shares, will not be deemed a change of control under any agreement, instrument, or indenture to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party.

(b) Except for filings or registrations as may be required by Article VI, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, or to issue

and sell the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof other than such as have been made or obtained, and any notice filings required to be made under United States federal or state securities Laws in connection with an exemption from the registration requirements thereof, and any required filings or notifications regarding quotation on or to maintain good standing with the OTC Bulletin Board.

(d) The Company and its Subsidiaries have all franchises, permits, licenses, and any similar authority necessary for the conduct of their respective businesses as now being conducted, except for such franchises, permits, licenses or similar authorities, the lack of which would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have received any actual notice of any proceeding relating to revocation or modification of any such franchise, permit, license, or similar authority.

Section 2.7 SEC Documents, Financial Statements. Except as set forth in Section 2.7 of the Disclosure Schedules, the Company has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act since the Company’s initial public offering (all of the foregoing filed at least ten (10) days prior to the date hereof and all exhibits included therein and financial statements and schedules thereto and documents (other than exhibits) incorporated by reference therein, being hereinafter referred to as the “SEC Documents”). As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, as the case may be, 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company (including the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable) included in the SEC Documents (the “Financial Statements”) and the related notes complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. The Financial Statements and the related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in the Financial Statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, they may be condensed or summary statements or may conform to the SEC’s rules and instructions for reports on Form 10-Q or similar form) and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal and recurring year-end audit adjustments). All material agreements that were required to be filed as exhibits to the SEC Documents under Item 601 of Regulation S-K (collectively, the “Material Agreements”) to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party, or the property or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary are subject, have been filed as exhibits to the SEC Documents.

Section 2.8 Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that are effective in all material respects to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries is made known to the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed quarterly or annual periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed quarterly or annual periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act), including, but not limited to, any material weaknesses identified by management.

Section 2.9 Accounting Controls. The Company maintains a system of accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (i) transactions of the Company and its Subsidiaries are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, (ii) transactions of the Company and its Subsidiaries are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as applied in the United States and to maintain accountability for assets, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

Section 2.10 Absence of Litigation. Except as set forth on Section 2.10 of the Disclosure Schedules, as of the date hereof, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending, to the extent served on the Company or any Subsidiary, or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary that if determined adversely to the Company or any Subsidiary would have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective directors or officers is, or within the last five (5) years has been, the subject of any action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities Laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty relating to the Company or any Subsidiary. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not currently pending or contemplated, any investigation by the SEC involving the Company or any Subsidiary or any current or former director or officer of the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company has not received any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act and, to the Company’s knowledge, the SEC has not issued any such order.

Section 2.11 Intellectual Property Rights. The Company or its Subsidiaries have ownership of, or licensee rights to, all patents, patent applications, patent rights, inventions, know-how, trade secrets, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, service names, trade names, copyrights, proprietary rights and processes necessary to enable it to conduct its business as conducted as of the date hereof (the “Intellectual Property”). To the Company’s knowledge, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has infringed the intellectual property rights of third

parties and no third party is infringing the Intellectual Property, in each case, which could result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, there are no material options, licenses or agreements relating to the Intellectual Property, nor, except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, is the Company or any Subsidiary bound by or a party to any material options, licenses or agreements relating to the patents, patent applications, patent rights, inventions, know-how, trade secrets, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, service names, trade names, copyrights, proprietary rights and processes of any other person or entity. As of the date hereof, there is no claim, action or proceeding pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened, that challenges the right of the Company or its Subsidiaries with respect to any Intellectual Property. All Intellectual Property (along with application, prosecution and maintenance status) and all contracts and understandings currently in effect relating thereto are set forth in Section 2.11 of the Disclosure Schedules, and there is not any breach or, to the Company’s knowledge, basis for termination or diminution of rights under or with respect to any such agreement of understanding which could result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has taken reasonable efforts to ensure that all persons who have had access to trade secrets or confidential information of the Company or any Subsidiary have signed customary non-disclosure and non-use agreement not containing “residuals” clauses or similar provisions.

Section 2.12 Placement Agents. Other than pursuant to the agreement with Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, LLC dated December 18, 2007, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has taken any action that would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, placement agent’s fees or similar payments relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 2.13 Investment Company. The Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities, will not be an investment company required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Section 2.14 No Material Adverse Change. Except (i) as set forth in Section 2.14 of the Disclosure Schedules, (ii) as disclosed in the Company’s Current Reports on Forms 8-K filed January 8, 2008, and February 6, 2008, (iii) for cash expenditures in the ordinary course of business and (iv) for liabilities, limitations, restrictions and obligations arising from or in connection with this Agreement, there has been, since the filing date of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, no fact, event, circumstance, nor any change in the assets, business, properties, prospects, financial condition or results of operations of the Company that, individually or in the aggregate, has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in Section 2.14 of the Disclosure Schedules, since the filing date of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, (i) there has not been any dividend or distribution of any kind declared, set aside for payment, paid or made by the Company on any class of capital stock, (ii) the Company has not sustained any material loss or interference with the Company’s business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor disturbance or dispute or any action, order or decree of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority, (iii) the Company has not incurred any liabilities, contingent or otherwise except in the ordinary course of business, except for liabilities arising from or in connection with this Agreement or in connection with the transactions reported on the Current Reports on Forms 8-K filed January 8,

2008 and February 6, 2008. The Company has not taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy Law nor does the Company have any knowledge or reason to believe that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings.

Section 2.15 OTC Bulletin Board. The issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock are quoted on OTC Bulletin Board, and except as set forth on Section 2.15 of the Disclosure Schedules, there have been no past proceedings, other than proceedings that have been satisfactorily resolved, and there are no proceedings pending, or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened, to revoke or suspend the Company’s eligibility for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. The Company is not listed on the OTC Bulletin Board’s list of filing delinquent companies and, except as described in Section 2.15 of the Disclosure Schedules, the Company is in compliance with the requirements of OTC Bulletin Board for continued quotation of the Common Stock thereon and any other OTC Bulletin Board eligibility requirements.

Section 2.16 Acknowledgment Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Shares. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity with respect to the Company) with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any of their respective representatives or agents to the Company in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is merely incidental to such Purchaser’s purchase of the Shares. The Company further represents to each Purchaser that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement has been based on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.

Section 2.17 Insurance. The Company and its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks, including fire, and in such amounts as the Company believes are prudent and customary for a company in the businesses and location in which the Company or its Subsidiaries are engaged. All such coverage is in full force and effect, and the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, have complied with all material terms and conditions of such coverage, including premium payments. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have received any written notice that the Company or its Subsidiaries will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires.

Section 2.18 Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any director, officer, agent, employee or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, have, in the course of his, her or its actions for, or on behalf of, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (i) used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity; (ii) made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds; (iii) violated (or is in violation of) in any material respect any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended; or (iv) made or received any unlawful bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to or from any foreign or domestic government official or employee.

Section 2.19 Private Placement. Neither the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, any of their respective Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or 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 cause the private placement of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement (the “Offering”) to be integrated with any prior offering by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any exchange or quotation system on which any of the securities of the Company are listed, designated or quoted. Neither the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, any of their respective Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has offered or sold, or authorized the offer or sale of, any of the Shares by any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act. The Company has not publicly distributed and will not publicly distribute any offering material in connection with the Offering. The Company has offered the Shares for sale only to the Purchasers. The Company shall not directly or indirectly take, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries or their respective directors or officers to directly or indirectly take, any action (including any offering or sale to any person of the Shares) that will make unavailable the exemption from registration under the Securities Act being relied upon by the Company for the Offering.

Section 2.20 No Registration Rights. Except as set forth in Section 2.20 of the Disclosure Schedules, (i) no person has the right to (x) prohibit, delay or suspend the Company from filing a Registration Statement or fully performing its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto or (y) require the Company to register any securities for sale under the Securities Act by reason of the filing of a Registration Statement and (ii) no other registration rights exist with respect to the issuance or registration of securities by the Company under the Securities Act that have not been satisfied.

PURCHASER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company, severally and not jointly, with respect to itself and its purchase hereunder, that:

Section 3.1 Investment Purpose. The Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for its own account for investment and not with a present view toward the public sale or distribution thereof and has no intention of selling or distributing or any arrangement or understanding with any other persons regarding the sale or distribution of the Shares or Conversion Shares, except as contemplated by this Agreement and in compliance with the Securities Act. The Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Shares or Conversion Shares except in accordance with the provisions of Article VI of this Agreement or pursuant to and in accordance with the Securities Act. In making the representation herein, however, the Purchaser does not agree to hold any of the Shares or Conversion Shares for any minimum or other specified term and reserves the right to dispose of the Shares or Conversion Shares at any time in compliance with the Securities Act.

Section 3.2 Purchaser Status; Questionnaires. At the time Purchaser was offered the Shares, it was, and at the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. All information provided by the Purchaser to the Company (including the Questionnaire provided by the Purchaser to the Company) or a representative thereof in connection with the Purchaser’s purchase of the Shares was accurate and correct when provided or delivered and is accurate and correct as of the date hereof.

Section 3.3 Reliance on Exemptions. The Purchaser understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from or non-application of the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities Laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire the Shares.

Section 3.4 Acknowledgement of Risk.

(a) The Purchaser acknowledges and understands that its investment in the Shares involves a significant degree of risk, including, without limitation, (i) the Company’s limited operating history; (ii) an investment in the Company is speculative, and only Purchasers who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Shares; (iii) the Purchaser may not be able to liquidate its investment; (iv) transferability of the Shares is limited; (v) in the event of a disposition of the Shares, the Purchaser could sustain the loss of its entire investment; and (vi) the Company has not paid any dividends on its Common Stock since inception and does not anticipate the payment of dividends in the foreseeable future; and

(b) The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of holding the Shares and the Conversion Shares for an indefinite period, and has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that it is capable of evaluating the risks of the investment in the Shares and the Conversion Shares.

Section 3.5 Transfer or Sale. The Purchaser understands that:

(a) the Shares and Conversion Shares have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act (other than as contemplated in Article VI of this Agreement) or any applicable state securities Laws and, consequently, the Purchaser may have to bear the risk of owning the Shares or Conversion Shares for an indefinite period of time because the Shares or Conversion Shares may not be transferred unless (i) the sale of the Shares or Conversion Shares is registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, as contemplated in Article VI of this Agreement; (ii) the Purchaser has delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel (in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the Shares or Conversion Shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration; or (iii) the Shares or Conversion Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144; and

(b) except as set forth in Article VI of this Agreement, neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the sale of the Shares or Conversion Shares under the Securities Act or any state or foreign securities Laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

(b) The Purchaser may request that the Company remove, and the Company agrees to authorize the removal of any legend from the Shares and Conversion Shares (i) following any sale of the Conversion Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement, or (ii) if such Conversion Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 without volume limitations or under any no-action letter issued by the SEC (it being understood that the Company may obtain an opinion of counsel with respect to such removal of legend). Following the time a legend is no longer required for the Conversion Shares hereunder, the Company will, no later than five (5) Business Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a legended certificate representing such shares, accompanied by such additional information as the Company or the Company’s transfer agent may reasonably request, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends.

The Company shall have delivered to each Purchaser (i) a certificate of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, dated as of the Closing Date, confirming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 5.2, and (ii) a certificate of the Secretary of the Company, dated as of the Closing Date, certifying as to the incumbency and signatures of the officers executing this Agreement and the resolutions of the Company’s board of directors approving this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(k) Commitment Fee. Contemporaneously with the Closing, the Company shall have paid the Commitment Fee to the Purchasers in accordance with Section 1.3.

ARTICLE VI

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 6.1 Demand Registration.

(a) Request for Registration.

(i) At any time after the Closing, the Purchasers holding not less than 50% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding may make a written request of the Company (a “Demand Request”) to have the Company effect a registration under the Securities Act (a “Demand Registration”) for the sale of all or part of their Registrable Securities. Following receipt of such Demand Request, the Company shall be required to use its reasonable best efforts to effect such Demand Registration subject to the terms of this Article VI; provided further that the Purchasers shall be entitled to make no more than two Demand Requests in the aggregate pursuant to the foregoing provisions.

(ii) Each Demand Request shall specify the amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold. Subject to Section 6.4(c), the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to file under the Securities Act a registration statement on an appropriate form to effect the Demand Registration within 30 days if eligible to use Form S-3, otherwise within 60 days if not so eligible, after receiving a Demand Request (the “Required Filing Date”), and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the same to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as practicable after such filing.

(b) Effective Registration and Expenses. A registration will not count as a Demand Registration until it has become effective. If the Purchasers withdraw their Demand Request, such demand will count as a Demand Registration unless:

(i) the Purchasers pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such withdrawn registration;

(ii) during the registration process, material adverse information regarding the Company is disclosed that was not known by the Purchasers at the time the request for such Demand Registration was made; or

(iii) the Company has not complied in all material respects with its obligations hereunder required to have been taken prior to such withdrawal; provided, however, if, after a Demand Registration has become effective, and such Demand Registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court, which interference is not subsequently removed, such registration will be deemed not to have been effected and will not count as a Demand Registration so long as such interference is not attributable to Purchasers.

(c) Selection of Underwriters. The offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration requested at such time as the Company is ineligible to register the sale of Registrable Securities requested by such Demand Registration on a Form S 3 registration statement (or a successor form) may be in the form of an underwritten offering if requested by the Purchasers making such Demand Request. The Company shall select the book-running managing underwriter and such additional underwriters to be used in connection with the offering; provided that such selections shall be subject to the approval of the Purchasers, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d) Priority on Demand Registrations. No securities to be sold for the account of any Person (including the Company) other than the Purchasers shall be included in a Demand Registration if the managing underwriter(s) shall advise the Purchasers that the inclusion of such securities will materially and adversely affect the price or success of the offering. If the managing underwriter(s) shall advise the Purchasers that the inclusion of all of the Registrable Securities that are contemplated to be included in the Demand Registration will materially and adversely affect the price or success of the offering, the number of shares to be registered will be reduced proportionally among the holders of Registrable Securities.

(e) Multiple Demands. If the Company had received, prior to receiving a Demand Request, a demand request from a different group of its stockholders and is proceeding with reasonable diligence to comply with such request, the Demand Request of the Purchasers shall not be considered a Demand Request for purposes of determining the number of Demand Requests made by the Purchasers, but shall be considered a Demand Request for all other purposes under this Section 6.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that such other group of stockholders withdraws its demand request, then the Demand Request shall be considered a Demand Request for purposes of determining the number of Demand Requests made by the Purchasers.

Section 6.2 Piggy-Back Registration.

(a) Piggyback Registration Rights. If the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of any shares of Common Stock by the Company for its own account or for the account of any holder of Common Stock other than the Purchasers (other than a registration statement on Forms S-8 or S-4, or any substitute forms that may be adopted by the SEC or any registration statement filed), then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to the Purchasers as soon as practicable (but, subject to the last sentence in Section 6.1(e), in no event less than 15 days before the anticipated filing date of such registration statement), and such notice shall offer the Purchasers the opportunity to register such number of Registrable Securities as the Purchasers may request (a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to Section 6.2(b) hereof, the Company shall include in each such Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration for such offering by written notice to the Company within 10 days of receipt of the Company’s notice referred to above; provided, however, that the Company may at any time withdraw or cease proceeding with any such registration for its own account

prior to effectiveness of such registration whether or not the Purchasers have elected to include any Registrable Securities in such registration. In addition, the Purchasers shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of the Registrable Securities from a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effective date thereof.

(b) Priority on Piggyback Registration. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the managing underwriter(s) of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration statement for such offering under Section 6.2(a) (such Registrable Securities referred to as “Piggyback Securities”) to be included on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities included therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to include any Piggyback Securities in such offering unless the Purchasers accept the terms of the underwriting agreement between the Company and the managing underwriter(s) and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.8 below. If the managing underwriter(s) of a proposed underwritten offering advise(s) the Company that in their opinion the total amount of securities, including Piggyback Securities, to be included in such offering is sufficiently large to materially and adversely affect the price or success of the offering, then in such event the securities to be included in such offering shall be allocated:

(i) If the registration is undertaken for the Company’s account: (A) first, the securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the maximum number of shares suggested by the underwriters (the “Maximum Number of Shares”); (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the securities (including the Registrable Securities) as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights (pro rata in accordance with the number of securities which each such person has actually requested to be included in such registration) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and

(ii) If the registration is a “demand” registration undertaken at the demand of persons other than the holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons, (A) first, the securities for the account of the demanding persons that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the securities (including the Registrable Securities) as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights (pro rata in accordance with the number of securities which each such person has actually requested to be included in such registration) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.

Section 6.3 Holdback Agreements.

(a) Restrictions on Public Sale of Registrable Securities. Following any underwritten public offering of equity securities by the Company or the Purchasers effected pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchasers agree not to effect any public sale or distribution of securities similar to those being registered or of any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities or hedging transactions relating to the Registrable Securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144, during the 10 days prior to the expected date of “pricing” of such offering and during a period not to exceed 90 days with respect to any such offering, beginning on the date of such final prospectus (or prospectus supplement if the offering is made pursuant to a “shelf” registration) as shall be reasonably requested by the managing underwriter(s) except as part of such registration, and, if and to the extent requested by the managing underwriter(s), the Purchaser agrees to execute an agreement to the foregoing effect with the underwriters for such offering on such terms as the managing underwriter(s) shall reasonably request.

(b) Restrictions on Public Sale by the Company. Following any underwritten public offering of equity securities by the Purchasers effected pursuant to this Agreement, the Company agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of any securities similar to those being registered, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the 10 days prior to the expected date of “pricing” of such offering and during a period not to exceed 60 days with respect to any such offering, beginning on the date of such final prospectus (or prospectus supplement if the offering is made pursuant to a “shelf” registration) as shall be reasonably requested by the managing underwriter(s).

(c) Deferral of Filing. The Company may defer the filing (but not the preparation) of a registration statement required by Section 6.1 if (i) at the time the Company receives the Demand Request, the Company or any of its subsidiaries are engaged in confidential negotiations or other confidential business activities, disclosure of which would be required in such registration statement (but would not be required if such registration statement were not filed) and the Board determines in good faith that such disclosure would be materially detrimental to the Company, until a date not later than 45 days after the Required Filing Date or (ii) prior to receiving such Demand Request, the Board had determined to effect a registered underwritten public offering of the Company’s equity securities for the Company’s account and the Company had taken substantial steps (including, but not limited to, selecting or entering into a letter of intent with the managing underwriter(s) for such offering) and is proceeding with reasonable diligence to effect such offering, until a date not later than the end of the holdback period referred to in Section 6.3(a) above with respect to such offering. A deferral of the filing of a registration statement pursuant to this Section 6.3(c) shall be lifted, and the requested registration statement shall be filed as soon as reasonably practicable, if, in the case of a deferral pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, the negotiations or other activities are disclosed or terminated, or, in the case of a deferral pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, the proposed registration for the Company’s account is abandoned. In order to defer the filing of a registration statement pursuant to this Section 6.3(c), the Company shall promptly, upon determining to seek such deferral, deliver to the Purchasers a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that the Company is deferring such filing pursuant to this Section 6.3(c)

and the basis therefor in reasonable detail. Within 20 days after receiving such certificate, the Purchasers may withdraw such request by giving notice to the Company. If withdrawn, the Demand Request shall be deemed not to have been made for all purposes of this Agreement. The Company may defer the filing of a Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 6.3(c) only one time during any 12 month period.

(d) Suspension of Use of Shelf Registration Statement. If the Company has filed a “shelf” registration statement and has included Registrable Securities therein, the Company shall be entitled to suspend (but not more than an aggregate of 90 days in any 12-month period), for a reasonable period of time not in excess of 90 days, the offer or sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement by any holder of Registrable Securities if (i) a “road show” is not then in progress with respect to a proposed offering of Registrable Securities by such holder pursuant to such registration statement and such holder has not executed an underwriting agreement with respect to a pending sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement and (ii) the Company or any of its subsidiaries are engaged in confidential negotiations or other confidential business activities, disclosure of which would be required if such registration statement were used (but would not be required if such registration statement were not used) and the Board determines in good faith that such disclosure would be materially detrimental to the Company. In order to suspend the use of the registration statement pursuant to this Section 6.3(d), the Company shall promptly, upon determining to seek such suspension, deliver to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement, a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that the Company is suspending use of such registration statement pursuant to this Section 6.3(d) and the basis therefor in reasonable detail.

Section 6.4 Registration Procedures. Whenever the Purchasers have requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof, the Company will, at its expense, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities under the Securities Act prior to the Required Filing Date, and in connection with any such request, the Company will as expeditiously as practicable:

(a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof, and use its reasonable best efforts and proceed diligently and in good faith to cause such filed registration statement to become effective under the Securities Act; provided that at least five business days before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company will furnish to the Purchasers and to one counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company selected by the Purchasers, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of such counsel; provided further that in connection with a Demand Registration, the Company shall not file any registration statement or prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, if the Purchasers or their counsel shall reasonably object on a timely basis (provided the time period for which the filing of a Demand Registration is

delayed pursuant to the objection of the Purchasers shall be added to the Required Filing Date);

(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective pursuant to Section 6.1 until all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement have been sold and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended method of disposition by the Purchasers thereof set forth in such registration statement; provided however that the Purchasers that have been included on a “shelf” registration statement may request that their Registrable Securities be removed from such registration statement, in which event the Company shall as promptly as practicable either withdraw such registration statement or file a post-effective amendment to such registration statement removing such Registrable Securities;

(c) furnish to the Purchasers such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits thereto), the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as the Purchasers may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities;

(d) notify the Purchasers promptly, and confirm such notice in writing:

(i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a registration statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective under the Securities Act and each applicable state Law;

(ii) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a registration statement or related prospectus or for additional information;

(iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;

(iv) if at any time the representations or warranties of the Company or any Subsidiary contained in any agreement (including any underwriting agreement) contemplated by Section 6.4(i) below cease to be true and correct in any material respect;

(v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose;

(vi) of the happening of any event that requires the making of any changes in such registration statement, prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference so that, in the case of the registration statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and

(vii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a registration statement would be appropriate;

(e) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment;

(f) cooperate with the Purchasers and the managing underwriter(s) to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold, which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends and shall be in a form eligible for deposit with The Depositary Trust Company;

(g) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities as promptly as practicable under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Purchasers or managing underwriter reasonably (in light of the intended plan of distribution) requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the Purchasers or managing underwriter to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by the Purchasers; provided that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph (g) or (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, and notify the Purchasers in writing of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities Laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose;

(h) use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities, if any, as may be required of the Company to enable the Purchasers to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

(i) enter into customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form with customary indemnification provisions) and take such other actions as are reasonably required or advisable in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, including providing reasonable availability of appropriate

members of senior management of the Company to provide customary due diligence assistance in connection with any offering and to participate in customary “road show” presentations in connection with any underwritten offerings in substantially the same manner as they would in an underwritten primary registered public offering by the Company, after taking into account the reasonable business requirements of the Company in determining the scheduling and duration of any road show;

(j) make available for inspection by any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by the underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested in connection with such registration statement; provided, however, that the Purchasers agree that information obtained as a result of such inspections shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used as the basis for any market transactions in the securities of the Company or its Affiliates unless and until such information is made generally available to the public;

(k) at the reasonable request of the managing underwriter(s) as to form and content, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain a comfort letter or comfort letters from the Company’s independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by comfort letters;

(l) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to the Purchasers, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering a period of twelve months, beginning within three months after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act;

(m) use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or quoted on any inter-dealer quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then quoted;

(n) if any event contemplated by Section 6.4(d) above shall occur, as promptly as practicable prepare a supplement or amendment or post-effective amendment to such registration statement or the related prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or promptly file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and

(o) cooperate and assist in any filing required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and in the performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter, including any “qualified independent underwriter,” or the Purchaser.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company hereby agrees that any Demand Registration that is a “shelf” registration pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act shall contain all language in the selling stockholders’ table and the plan of distribution as may reasonably be requested by a holder of Registrable Securities. The Company may require the Purchasers to promptly furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding the distribution of the Registrable Securities as it may from time to time reasonably request and such other information as may be legally required in connection with such registration.

The Purchasers agree that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 6.4(d) hereof, the Purchasers will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 6.4(n) hereof, and, if so directed by the Company, the Purchasers will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such their possession, of the most recent prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice.

Section 6.5 Registration Expenses. Subject to the provisions in Section 6.1(b) above with respect to a withdrawn Demand Registration, in connection with any registration statement required to be filed hereunder, the Company shall pay the following registration expenses (the “Registration Expenses”):

(a) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, with respect to filings to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority);

(b) fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities);

(c) printing expenses;

(d) its own internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties);

(e) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing on an exchange of the Registrable Securities if the Company shall choose, or be required pursuant to Section 6.4(m), to list such Registrable Securities;

(f) reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and customary fees and expenses for independent certified public accountants retained by the Company (including the expenses of any comfort letters requested pursuant to Section 6.4(k) hereof);

(g) the reasonable fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with such registration;

(h) reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel (up to $15,000.00) reasonably acceptable to the Company selected by the Purchasers incurred in connection with the registration of such Registrable Securities hereunder; and

(i) fees and expenses of any “qualified independent underwriter” or other independent appraiser participating in any offering pursuant to the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

The Company shall not have any obligation to pay any underwriting fees, discounts, or commissions attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities or, except as provided by clause (b), (h) or (i) above, any out-of-pocket expenses of the Purchasers (or the agents who manage their accounts) or the fees and disbursements of any underwriter.

Section 6.6 Indemnification; Contribution.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers, each Person, if any, who controls the Purchasers within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the officers, directors, agents, general and limited partners, and employees of the Purchasers and each such controlling Person from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (joint or several), and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation and attorneys’ fees) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out of, or are based upon and in conformity with, any such untrue statement or omission or allegation thereof based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by the Purchasers or on the Purchasers’ behalf expressly for use therein.

(b) Indemnification by the Purchasers. The Purchasers agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and the officers, directors, agents and employees of the Company and each such controlling Person to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Purchasers, but only with respect to information furnished in writing by the Purchasers or on the Purchasers’ behalf expressly for use in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities. The liability of the Purchasers under this Section 6.6(b) shall be limited to the aggregate cash and property received by the Purchasers pursuant to the sale of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement or prospectus.

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any action or proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnification under Sections 6.6(a) or 6.6(b) above (an “Indemnified Party”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought from any Person who has agreed to provide such indemnification under Sections 6.6(a) or 6.6(b) above (an “Indemnifying Party”), the Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and shall assume the payment of all reasonable expenses of such defense. Such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless:

(i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses; or

(ii) the Indemnifying Party fails promptly to assume the defense of such action or proceeding or fails to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; or

(iii) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party (or an Affiliate of the Indemnifying Party), and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or there is a conflict of interest on the part of counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party to represent such Indemnified Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Party).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar related actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable at any time for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together in each case with appropriate local counsel). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding effected without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action or proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party,

from all liability in respect of such action or proceeding for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.6 is unavailable to the Indemnified Parties in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Parties, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Parties as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments as between the Company on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and of the Purchasers in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Purchasers on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Person, and such Persons’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company and the Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.6(d) were determined by any method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.6(d), the Purchasers shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities were offered to the public (less any underwriting discounts or commissions) exceeds the amount of any damages which the Purchasers have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Section 6.7 Additional Covenants and Agreements of the Company. With a view to making available to the Purchasers the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, so long as the Purchasers still own Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to:

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times;

(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and

(c) so long as a Purchaser owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Purchaser, upon any reasonable request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with Rule 144 and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company if not publicly available, and such other reports and documents of the Company as such Purchaser may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing a Purchaser to sell any such securities without registration.

Section 6.8 Transfers of Registration Rights. The provisions of this Article VI hereof will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto, except as otherwise provided herein; provided, however, that the registration rights granted hereby may be transferred only (i) by operation of Law or (ii) to any Person to whom the Purchasers transfer Registrable Securities, provided that any such transferee shall not be entitled to rights pursuant to this Article VI unless such transferee of registration rights hereunder agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Article VI and executes and delivers to the Company an acknowledgment and agreement to such effect.

Section 6.9 Waiver of Registration Rights. The rights of any Purchaser under any provision of this Article VI may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely) or amended by an instrument in writing signed by the Purchasers holding not less than a majority of the Registrable Securities; provided, however, that no consideration shall be offered or paid to any person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Article VI unless the same consideration also is offered to all Purchasers that hold Registrable Securities.

ARTICLE VII

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

Section 7.1 Contractual Preemptive Rights. Subject to (i) the terms and conditions specified in this Section 7.1 and (ii) subject to Section 7.2 below regarding certain specific financing transactions, the Company hereby grants to the Purchasers a right of first offer with respect to future sales by the Company of New Securities. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to apportion the right of first offer hereby granted it among itself and its partners and Affiliates in such proportions as it deems appropriate.

Each time the Company proposes to offer any New Securities, the Company shall first make an offering of such New Securities to Purchasers in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) The Company shall deliver a notice in accordance with Section 9.6 (“New Security Notice”) to the Purchasers stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such New Securities, (ii) the number of such New Securities to be offered and (iii) the price and terms upon which it proposes to offer such New Securities.

(b) By written notification received by the Company within twenty (20) calendar days after the giving of New Security Notice, each Purchaser may elect to purchase, at the price and on the terms specified in the New Security Notice, up to that

portion of such New Securities that equals the proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock issued and held by such Purchaser (assuming full conversion and exercise of all convertible and exercisable securities then outstanding) bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding (assuming full conversion and exercise of all convertible and exercisable securities then outstanding). The Company shall promptly, in writing, inform each Purchaser that elects to purchase all the shares available to it (a “Fully Exercising Purchaser”) of any other Purchaser’s failure to do likewise. During the ten (10) day period commencing after such information is given, each Fully Exercising Purchaser may elect to purchase that portion of the New Securities for which Purchasers were entitled to subscribe, but which were not subscribed for by the Purchasers, that is equal to the proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock issued and held by such Fully Exercising Purchaser (assuming full conversion and exercise of all convertible and exercisable securities then outstanding) bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding (assuming full conversion and exercise of all convertible and exercisable securities then outstanding).

(c) If all New Securities that Purchasers are entitled to obtain pursuant to Section 7.1(b) are not elected to be obtained as provided in Section 7.1(b) hereof, the Company may, during the thirty (30) day period following the expiration of the period provided in Section 7.1(b) hereof, offer the remaining unsubscribed portion of such New Securities to any person or persons at a price not less than that, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than those, specified in the New Security Notice. If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the New Securities within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within fifteen (15) days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New Securities shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Purchasers in accordance herewith.

(d) The right of first offer in this Section 7.1 shall not be applicable to (i) the issuance or sale of up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (or options therefor) to employees, directors, consultants and other service providers for the primary purpose of soliciting or retaining their services pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Omnibus Securities and Incentive Plan, (ii) the issuance of securities pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities outstanding as of the date hereof, and (iii) the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 7.2 Certain Rights of First Offer.

(a) Notwithstanding Section 7.1 above regarding the right of first offer of the Purchasers, if at any point the Company or any of its Subsidiaries proposes, directly or indirectly, an equity or debt financing for the purpose of either (x) funding all or a portion of the purchase price of its acquisition of FocusMicro, Inc. or (y) refinancing or restructuring its outstanding debt obligations to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Mezzanine Capital Fund III, L.P., the Company shall deliver to the Purchasers written notice in accordance with Section 9.6 (the “Financing Notice”) setting forth the total amount (which can be a range of amounts) that the Company proposes to raise for purposes of completing one or

both of the transactions set forth above and any other proposed terms and conditions of the proposed financing.

(b) The Purchasers shall have the exclusive right (unless waived in writing by the Purchasers), for a period of 30 days after receipt of the Financing Notice, to deliver a proposed term sheet to the Company and to negotiate the proposed terms and conditions of the proposed financing for the transactions set forth in Section 7.2(a).

(c) If the Company and the Purchasers have not executed a letter of intent with respect to the financing proposed by this Section 7.2 within such 30-day period, then the Company shall have the right, for a period of an additional 30 days after the expiration of such 30-day period, to solicit third party offers from, and negotiate with, any Person other than the Purchasers to enter into the proposed financing on terms no more favorable than those set forth in the Financing Notice delivered by the Company to the Purchasers with respect to such proposed financing. If, within such additional 30-day period, the Company obtains a bona fide offer from a third party to enter into the financing proposed by this Section 7.2 with the Company, then the Company shall deliver written notice thereof to the Purchasers. In the event the Company does not obtain a third party offer within such 30-day period, the Company shall not thereafter enter into any such financing without first delivering a new Financing Notice to the Purchasers and complying with the other provisions of this Section 7.2.

Section 7.3 Co-Sale Provisions.

(a) Any of the following transfers for value (for purposes of this Section 7.3 referred to as a “sale”) of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock shall be subject to this Section 7.3: (i) a sale by each of the Stockholders together in one transaction or a series of related transactions; (ii) a sale by any Stockholder (other than Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx) of any of the shares of Common Stock held by such Stockholder that are subject to the lock-up agreements referred in Section 2.34 and Section 4.8 hereof; provided, however, that the Purchasers shall not have any rights pursuant to this Section 7.3(a)(ii) with respect to any such shares of Common Stock until such Stockholder (or any permitted transferee under clauses (A), (B), (C) or (D) below) sells in one or more transactions (whether or not related) more than 25% of such shares of Common Stock held by such Stockholder as of the date hereof; (iii) a sale by any Stockholder (other than Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx) of shares of Common Stock held by such Stockholder to Argyle Joint Venture; (iv) a sale of Contributed Shares by Argyle Joint Venture as a result of the application of clause (C) below; or (v) in connection with a Co-Sale Control Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 7.3 shall not apply to (A) any sales of shares of Common Stock by the Stockholders pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; provided, however, that this in no way limits the registration rights of the Purchasers pursuant to Article VI, including, but not limited to, the piggy-back rights described in Section 6.2; (B) the transfer of any or all of the shares of Common Stock owned by a Stockholder, either during their lifetime or on death, by gift, will or intestate succession, to the immediate family of such Stockholder or to a trust the beneficiaries of which are exclusively such Stockholder and/or a member or members of such Stockholder’s immediate family; (C)

the transfer of shares of Common Stock by any Stockholder (other than Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx) by capital contribution to Argyle Joint Venture (the “Contributed Shares”); or (D) the transfer by a Stockholder to an Affiliate; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (B), (C) and (D) above, it shall be a condition to such transfer that the transferee executes and delivers to the Purchasers an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the shares of Common Stock subject to the provisions of this Section 7.3, and there shall be no further transfer of such shares of Common Stock, except in accordance with this Section 7.3. Shares to be transferred in connection with the transactions described in this Section 7.3 are referred to as the “Co-Sale Shares” and any Persons participating in such transaction are collectively referred to as the “Co-Seller.”

(b) In connection with any proposed transfer that is subject to this Section 7.3, the Company shall give written notice to the Purchasers in accordance with Section 9.6 (the “Co-Sale Notice”) at least twenty (20) days prior to any proposed transfer that is subject to this Section 7.3. The Co-Sale Notice shall specify the proposed transferee, whether such proposed transferee is willing to purchase shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock then held by the Purchasers and, if so, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock such proposed transferee is willing to purchase from the Purchasers, the number of Co-Sale Shares to be transferred to such proposed transferee, the amount and type of consideration to be received therefor, and the place and date on which the transfer is expected to be consummated. The Co-Sale Notice shall include an offer (the “Participation Offer”) by the Co-Seller to include in the proposed transfer on the terms described in paragraph (c) below a number of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock designated by the Purchasers, not to exceed, the product of (A) the sum of the aggregate number of Co-Sale Shares to be sold to the proposed transferee plus the maximum number of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock such proposed transferee is willing to purchase from the Purchasers and (B) a fraction with a numerator equal to the number of shares of Fully-Diluted Common Stock held by the Purchasers and a denominator equal to the number of shares of Fully-Diluted Common Stock held by the Co-Seller and the Purchasers.

(c) Except as set forth herein and in paragraph (b) above, the per share consideration to be received for any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock included in a proposed transfer hereunder shall be the same per share consideration to be received as set forth in the Participation Offer. The Purchasers shall notify the Company not more than five (5) business days after the date of the Co-Sale Notice, failing which the Purchasers shall not be entitled to participate in the proposed transfer.

(d) The Participation Offer shall be conditioned upon the actual transfer of Co-Sale Shares pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the Co-Sale Notice with the transferee named therein. If the Purchasers accept the Participation Offer, the number of Co-Sale Shares shall be reduced to the extent necessary so as to permit the Purchasers to sell the number of shares that they are entitled to sell under this Section 7.3, and the Co-Seller and the Purchasers shall sell the number of shares specified in the Participation Offer to the proposed transferee in accordance with the terms of such sale as set forth in the Co-Sale Notice. If the proposed transferee refuses to purchase from

the Purchasers the number of shares that they are entitled to sell under this Section 7.3, then (i) the Co-Seller shall be entitled to sell up to the number of shares specified in the Participation Offer to the proposed transferee in accordance with the terms of such sale as set forth in the Co-Sale Notice and (ii) the Co-Seller shall then purchase from the Purchasers, on the terms set forth in the Co-Sale Notice, up to the number of shares that they would have been entitled to sell under this Section 7.3 had the proposed transferee purchased such shares directly from the Purchasers in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.3. The Purchasers shall not be liable under this Section 7.3 for any transaction costs associated with such a transfer other than the legal costs incurred by the Purchasers.

(e) The Purchasers shall not be required to make any representations or warranties in connection with a transfer pursuant to this Section 7.3 other than representations and warranties as to (i) the Purchasers’ ownership of the shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock to be transferred free and clear of all liens, claims and other encumbrances other than those arising under this Agreement or the constituent documents of the Company, (ii) the Purchasers’ power and authority to effect such transfer, and (iii) such matters pertaining to compliance with securities Laws as the transferee may reasonably require; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt the parties acknowledge that the consideration to be received by the Co-Seller and the Purchasers may consist of, among other things, an interest in an escrow account, a security or other consideration, the ultimate value of which may be dependent upon, among other things, the accuracy of representations and warranties relating to the Company and its business or the future performance of the Company; provided, however, any liability with respect of the Purchasers to any indemnification claim relating to representations and warranties, covenants or other agreements relating to the Company or any Co-Seller shall be several (and not joint and several) and the Purchasers’ liability with respect to such claims shall not exceed their proportionate share thereof based on their Fully-Diluted Common Stock ownership percentage relative to the Co-Seller.

(f) The closing of such purchase by the transferee shall be on the same date that the transferee acquires the Co-Sale Shares, provided that the Purchasers have been given twenty (20) days advance notice of such closing; provided further, however, that any such closing shall be delayed, to the extent required, until the next succeeding business day after the obtaining of all other governmental approvals reasonably deemed necessary by a party to the transfer.

Section 7.4 Information. At the request of the Purchasers, the Company shall provide to the Purchasers all information which is delivered to the Company’s board of directors, provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to provide any information which (i) would cause a breach of an attorney-client privilege or (ii) is information which the Company deems to be material non-public information, in which case, the Purchasers may in its sole discretion execute a confidentiality agreement in form and substance agreeable to the Company and the Purchasers with respect to such material non-public information, and thereafter, the Company shall provide such information to the Purchasers.
