former employees of the Company and its affiliates has been maintained in compliance with its terms
and the requirements of any applicable statutes, orders, rules and regulations in all material
respects, including but not limited to ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”); no prohibited transaction, within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code, has occurred with respect to any such plan excluding transactions effected pursuant to a
statutory or administrative exemption; and for each such plan that is subject to the funding rules

by Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act.
Z. Accounting Controls. The Company maintains systems of “internal control over financial
reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that comply with the requirements of

executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, to provide
reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or
specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain
asset accountability; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s
general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with
the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any
differences. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and
the Prospectus, there are no material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial

delivered pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its obligations
hereunder, and to each of the following additional terms and conditions:
(A) No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been

of counsel for the Placement Agent, is material or omits to state any fact which, in the opinion of
such counsel, is material and is required to be stated therein or is necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading.
(C) All corporate proceedings and other legal matters incident to the authorization, form,
execution, delivery and validity of each of this Agreement, the Shares and Warrants and all other

contemplated by the Basic Prospectus and (ii) since such date there shall not have been any change

management, financial position, stockholders’ equity, results of operations or prospects of the
Company and its subsidiaries, taken together, otherwise than as set forth or incorporated by
reference in or contemplated by the Basic Prospectus, the effect of which, in any such case
described in clause (i) or (ii), is, in the judgment of the Placement Agent, so material and

Units on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Basic Prospectus, the Time of Sale
Information, and the Prospectus.

or inadvisable to proceed with the sale or delivery of the Units on the terms and in the
manner contemplated by the Basic Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.
(H) No action shall have been taken and no statute, rule, regulation or order shall have been
enacted, adopted or issued by any governmental agency or body which would, as of the Closing Date,

further information, certificates and documents as the Placement Agent may reasonably request.

SECTION 8. INDEMNIFICATION. (A) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will
indemnify Xxxxxx and its affiliates, stockholders, directors, officers, employees and controlling
persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act)
(each, an “Indemnified Person” and collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”)
against all losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities, as the same are incurred (including
the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), relating to or arising out of its activities
hereunder or arising out of this engagement letter, except to the extent that any losses, claims,
damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) are found in a final judgment (not
subject to appeal) by a court of law to have resulted primarily and directly from Xxxxxx’x willful
misconduct or gross negligence in performing the services described herein or any untrue statement
or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with
any information relating to the Placement Agent furnished to the Company by the Placement Agent
expressly for use therein.
(B) Promptly after receipt by Xxxxxx of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action
or proceeding with respect to which an Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnity hereunder,
Xxxxxx will notify the Company in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action or
proceeding, and the Company will assume the defense of such action or proceeding and will pay the
fees and expenses of such counsel. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Xxxxxx will be entitled
to employ counsel separate from counsel for the Company and from any other party in such action if
counsel for
Xxxxxx reasonably determines that it would be inappropriate under the applicable rules of
professional responsibility for the same counsel to represent both the Company and Xxxxxx. In such
event, the reasonable fees and disbursements of no more than one such separate counsel, in addition
to local counsel, will be paid by the Company. The Company shall not effect any settlement of any
pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which Xxxxxx is or could have been a party and
indemnification could have been sought hereunder by Xxxxxx, unless such settlement (i)(x) includes
an unconditional release of Xxxxxx, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Xxxxxx, from
all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any
statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of
Xxxxxx or (ii) is consented to by
Xxxxxx, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The
Company will have the exclusive right to settle any other claim or proceeding.
(C) The Company agrees to notify Xxxxxx promptly of the assertion against it or any other
person of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding relating to a transaction
contemplated by this engagement letter.
(D) If for any reason the foregoing indemnity is unavailable to Xxxxxx or insufficient to hold
Xxxxxx harmless, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by Xxxxxx as a
result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and Xxxxxx on the
other, but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and Xxxxxx on the other that
resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any relevant equitable
considerations. The amounts paid or payable by a party in respect of losses, claims, damages and
liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees and expenses
incurred in defending any litigation, proceeding or other action or claim. Notwithstanding the
provisions hereof, Xxxxxx’x share of the liability hereunder shall not be in excess of the amount
of fees actually received, or to be received, by Xxxxxx under this engagement letter (excluding any
amounts received as reimbursement of expenses incurred by Xxxxxx).
(E) These indemnification provisions shall remain in full force and effect whether or not the
transaction contemplated by this engagement letter is completed and shall survive the termination
of this engagement letter, and shall be in addition to any liability that the Company might
otherwise have to any indemnified party under this engagement letter or otherwise.
SECTION 9. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be
performed entirely in such State. This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the
prior written consent of the other party. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any right to
trial by jury with respect to any dispute arising under this Agreement or any transaction or
conduct in connection herewith is waived. Any dispute arising under this Agreement may be brought
into the courts of the State of New York or into the Federal Court located in New York, New York
and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company hereby accepts for itself and in
respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of aforesaid courts. Each
party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being
served in any such suit, action or proceeding by delivering a copy thereof via overnight delivery
(with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this
Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and
notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve
process in any manner permitted by law.
SECTION 10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT/MISC. This Agreement (including the attached
Indemnification Provisions) embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the parties
hereto, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, relating to the subject matter
hereof. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable in any
respect, such determination will not affect such provision in any other respect or any other
provision of this Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect. This Agreement may not be
amended or otherwise modified or waived except by an instrument in writing signed by both Xxxxxx
and the Company. The covenants contained in Sections 1 and 8 shall survive the closing of the
Placement and delivery and/or exercise of the Shares and Warrants, as applicable. This Agreement
may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered
one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each
party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the
same counterpart. If any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or a .pdf format file,
such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose
behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or .pdf
signature page were an original thereof.
SECTION 11. NOTICES. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and
effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is
delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified on the signature pages attached hereto
prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a business day, (b) the next business day after the date
of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number
on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a business day or later than 6:30 p.m.
(New York City time) on any business day, (c) the business day following the date of mailing, if
sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, and (d) upon actual receipt by the
party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices and communications
shall be as set forth on the signature pages hereto.
Please confirm that the foregoing correctly sets forth our agreement by signing and returning
to Xxxxxx a copy of this Agreement.
