The SEC Reports, when filed with the SEC (or in the case of registration statements, solely on the dates of effectiveness) (except to the extent corrected by a subsequent SEC Report), conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, as the case may be, and did not contain any untrue statement of a

6

material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

The Company understands that the Investors will rely on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in the securities of the Company.

(i) The Securities that it is acquiring under this Agreement are being sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, including Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

(ii) Its representations and warranties contained herein are being relied upon by the Company as a basis for such exemption under the Securities Act and under the securities laws of various other foreign and domestic jurisdictions. Such Investor further understands that, unless it notifies the Company in writing to the contrary at or before the Signing Date or the Closing Date, as the case may be, each of such Investor’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement will be deemed to have been automatically (and without any further action of the Investor) reaffirmed and confirmed as of the Signing Date or the Closing Date, as applicable, taking into account all information received by the Investor.

(iii) No U.S. state or federal agency or any other securities regulator of any state or country has passed upon the merits or risks of an investment in the Securities or made any finding or determination as to the fairness of the terms of the offering of the Securities or any recommendation or endorsement thereof.

(iv) The Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable federal securities laws and that the Securities Act and the rules of the SEC provide in substance that the Investor may dispose of the Securities only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and the Investor understands that the Company has no obligation, other than as disclosed in the SEC Reports, or intention to register any of the Securities, or, other than as contemplated herein, to take action so as to permit sales pursuant to the Securities Act (including Rule 144 thereunder). Accordingly, the Investor understands that under the SEC’s rules, the Investor may dispose of the Securities principally (i) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or (ii) in “private resale transactions” that are exempt from registration under the Securities Act, in which event the transferee will acquire “restricted securities” subject to the same limitations as in the hands of the Investor. Consequently, the Investor understands that the Investor must bear the economic risks of the investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time. The Investor will not sell, assign, pledge, give, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Securities or any interest therein, or make any offer or attempt to do any of the foregoing, except pursuant to a registration of the Securities under the Securities Act and all applicable State Securities Laws, or in a transaction which is exempt from

16

the registration provisions of the Securities Act and all applicable State Securities Laws. Such Investor understands that that the recordation of the Securities in book-entry form will include a legend substantially in the form indicated in Section 7 (which such Investor has read and understands), and that the Company and its Affiliates shall not be required to give effect to any purported transfer of such Securities except upon compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

(o) No ERISA Plans. Either (a) such Investor is not purchasing or holding Securities (or any interest in Securities) with the assets of (i) an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan, individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, (iii) an entity whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any of the foregoing by reason of such plan’s, account’s or arrangement’s investment in such entity, or (iv) a governmental, church, non-U.S. or other plan that is subject to any similar laws; or (b) the purchase and holding of such Securities by such Investors, throughout the period that it holds such Securities, and the disposition of such Securities or an interest therein will not constitute (x) a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, (y) a breach of fiduciary duty under ERISA or (z) a similar violation under any applicable similar laws.

7. Additional Agreements.

(a) Conduct Prior to Closing. From and after the Signing Date until the earlier of the Closing Date and the date on which this Agreement is terminated, the Company covenants and agrees as to itself and its Subsidiaries not to take any action that is intended or would reasonably be expected to result in any condition in Sections 8 and 9 not being satisfied. Each Investor hereby covenants and agrees to notify the Company upon the occurrence of any event prior to the Closing Date which would cause any representation, warranty or covenant of the Investors contained in this Agreement to be false or incorrect.

(b) NASDAQ Listing. The Company shall as promptly as practicable after the Signing Date (and prior to the Closing Date) apply to cause the Securities to be issued on the Closing Date to be approved for listing on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, subject to official notice of issuance.

17

(e) Short Selling Acknowledgement and Agreement. Each Investor understands and acknowledges, severally and not jointly with any other Investor, that the SEC currently takes the position that coverage of Short Sales of securities “against the box” prior to the effective date of a registration statement is a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act and of Securities Act Compliance Disclosure Interpretation 239.10. Each Investor agrees, severally and not jointly, that it will abide by such interpretation and will not engage in any Short Sales that result in the disposition of the Securities acquired hereunder by such Investor until such time as a resale registration statement is declared or deemed effective by the SEC or such Securities are no longer subject to any restrictions on resale. “Short Sales” means all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, whether or not against the box, and forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales, “put equivalent positions” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) and similar arrangements, and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers. Each Investor represents and agrees that since the date that it became aware of the proposed sale of the Securities, it has not conducted or caused any of its Affiliates to conduct a Short Sale or sell short any Common Stock of the Company.

(f) Legend. The book-entry account maintained by the transfer agent evidencing ownership of the Securities sold pursuant to this Agreement will bear the following restrictive legend in substantially the following form:

(g) Side Letters. The Company shall be entitled to enter into side letters or side arrangements in relation to an Investor’s investment in the Company contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Side Letters”). Any Side Letters entered into with any Investor shall be disclosed to all Investors. If the Company enters into any Side Letter with an Investor, subject to the proviso in the next sentence, each Investor may elect to receive the rights and benefits granted under such Side Letter entered into before, on or after the date hereof that has the effect of establishing rights or otherwise benefiting the Investor that is a party thereto in a manner more favorable in any respect than the rights and benefits established in favor of such Investor by this Agreement or any Side Letter. Such election shall be made by the Investor by written notice to the Company within thirty (30) calendar days following the receipt of a copy of

18

such Side Letter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Section shall not apply to provisions in any Side Letter dealing with the specific legal, tax or regulatory status of any Investor unless such specific legal, tax or regulatory status also applies to the Investor electing for such provision.

(n) Right to Conduct Activities. The Company and each Investor acknowledge that some or all of the Investors are professional investors, and as such invest in numerous portfolio companies, some of which may be competitive with the Company’s business. No Investor shall be liable to the Company or to another Investor for any claim arising out of, or based upon, (i) the investment by the Investor or any Affiliate of the Investor in any entity competitive to the Company or (ii) actions taken by the Investor or any Affiliate of the Investor to assist any such competitive company, whether or not such action was taken as a board member of such competitive company or otherwise, and whether or not such action has a detrimental effect on the Company, so long as such Investor or such Affiliate does not use or permit the use of confidential or proprietary information of the Company or of its affiliates.

(o) Removal of Legend. On and after such date as the Securities held by any Investor or its successors and permitted assigns pursuant to Section 11(h) are eligible for sale under Rule 144 and in connection with any such sale of Securities by an Investor in reliance on Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the applicable Investor or its broker shall deliver to the Company and the transfer agent a customary broker representation letter and a certificate of the Investor providing any information that the Company and the transfer agent deem necessary to determine that the sale of the Securities is made in compliance with Rule 144, including, as may be appropriate, a certification (i) that such Investor is not (and in the preceding three months has not been) an Affiliate of the Company (and a covenant not to consummate such sale if the Purchaser becomes an Affiliate prior to the consummation of such sale unless such sale is registered or another exemption from registration is available), (ii) regarding the length of time the Securities have been held and (iii) that the Investor is not in possession of material non-public information relating to the Company. Upon receipt of such representation letter and certificate and if the Company determines that the sale may be made pursuant with Rule 144, the Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable cause the removal of such notation of a restrictive legend from the Investor’s book-entry account maintained by the transfer agent in connection with such sale. The Company shall bear all direct costs and expense associated with the removal of a legend pursuant to this Section 11(o) (including, without limitation, reasonable fees of legal counsel in connection with any legal opinion letters required to be issued in connection with such removal), so long as such Investor or its permitted assigns provide to the Company any information the Company deems necessary to determine that the Securities may be sold without a legend under the Securities Act or applicable State Securities Laws.

(p) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Appendices, Exhibits and the Schedules and the documents delivered pursuant hereto and thereto constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein or therein,

24

and supersede any and all prior agreements, negotiations, discussions, understandings, term sheets or letters of intent between or among any of the parties with respect to such subject matter.

(i) words used in the singular include the plural and words in the plural include the singular;

(ii) reference to any gender includes the other gender;

(iii) the word “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means “including but not limited to” or “including without limitation”;
