REGISTRATION
STATEMENT.
The
Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Placement Agent
that:
(A) The
Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a
registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration File No. 333-156449) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
which became effective on January 27, 2009. At the time of such filing, the
Company met the requirements of Form S-3 under the Securities
Act. Such registration statement meets the requirements set forth in
Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the Securities Act and complies with said Rule. The
Company will file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the
Securities Act, and the rules and regulations (the “Rules and
Regulations”) of the Commission promulgated thereunder, a supplement to
the form of prospectus included in such registration statement relating to the
Placement of the Securities and the plan of distribution thereof and has advised
the Placement Agent of all further information (financial and other) with
respect to the Company required to be set forth therein. Such registration
statement, including the exhibits thereto, as amended at the date of this
Agreement, is hereinafter called the “Registration
Statement”; such prospectus in the form in which it appears in the
Registration Statement is hereinafter called the “Base Prospectus”; and
the supplemented form of prospectus, in the form in which it will be filed with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (including the Base Prospectus as so
supplemented) is hereinafter called the “Prospectus
Supplement.” Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration
Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement shall be deemed to
refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein (the “Incorporated
Documents”) pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 which were filed under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on or before
the date of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Base Prospectus or the
Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be; and any reference in this Agreement
to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the
Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement shall
be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange
Act after the date of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Base Prospectus
or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be, deemed to be incorporated
therein by reference. All references in this Agreement to financial statements
and schedules and other information that is “contained,” “included,”
“described,” “referenced,” “set forth” or “stated” in the Registration
Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement (and all other
references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such
financial statements and schedules and other information that is or is deemed to
be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus
or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be. No stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the use of the
Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement has been issued, and no proceeding
for any such purpose is pending or has been initiated or, to the Company's
knowledge, is threatened by the Commission. For purposes of this Agreement,
“free writing
prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities
Act and the “Time of
Sale Prospectus” means the preliminary prospectus, if any, together with
the free writing prospectuses, if any, used in connection with the Placement,
including any documents incorporated by reference therein. The
Registration Statement, Base Prospectus, Prospectus Supplement, Time of Sale
Prospectus (if any) and free writing prospectus (if any) collectively are
referred to as the “Prospectus Disclosure
Package.”
2
(B) The
Registration Statement (and any further documents to be filed with the
Commission) contains all exhibits and schedules as required by the Securities
Act. Each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment
thereto, at the time it became effective, complied in all material respects with
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations
and did not and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will not, contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading. The Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, if any, and the
Prospectus Supplement, each as of its respective date, comply in all material
respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules
and Regulations. Each of the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, if
any, and the Prospectus Supplement, as amended or supplemented, did not and will
not contain as of the date thereof any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The
Incorporated Documents, when they were filed with the Commission, conformed in
all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable
Rules and Regulations, and none of such documents, when they were filed with the
Commission, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (with respect to
Incorporated Documents incorporated by reference in the Base Prospectus or
Prospectus Supplement), in light of the circumstances under which they were made
not misleading; and any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference
in the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, if any, or Prospectus
Supplement, when such documents are filed with the Commission, will conform in
all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable
Rules and Regulations, as applicable, and will not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. No post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement
reflecting any facts or events arising after the date thereof which represent,
individually or in the aggregate, a fundamental change in the information set
forth therein is required to be filed with the Commission. There are
no documents required to be filed with the Commission in connection with the
transaction contemplated hereby that (x) have not been filed as required
pursuant to the Securities Act or (y) will not be filed within the requisite
time period. There are no contracts or other documents required to be described
in the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, if any, or Prospectus
Supplement, or to be filed as exhibits or schedules to the Registration
Statement, that have not been described or filed as required.
(C) The
Company is eligible to use free writing prospectuses in connection with the
Placement pursuant to Rules 164 and 433 under the Securities Act. Any
free writing prospectus that the Company is required to file pursuant to Rule
433(d) under the Securities Act has been, or will be, filed with the Commission
in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. Each free writing
prospectus that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule
433(d) under the Securities Act or that was prepared by or behalf of or used by
the Company complies or will comply in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of
the Commission thereunder. The Company will not, without the prior
consent of the Placement Agent, prepare, use or refer to, any free writing
prospectus.
(D) The
Company has delivered or made available to, or will as promptly as practicable
deliver or make available, to the Placement Agent complete conformed copies of
the Registration Statement and of each consent and certificate of experts, as
applicable, filed as a part thereof, and conformed copies of the Registration
Statement (without exhibits), the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus,
if any, and the Prospectus Supplement, as amended or supplemented, in such
quantities and at such places as the Placement Agent reasonably
requests. Neither the Company nor any of its directors and officers
has distributed and none of them will distribute, prior to the Closing Date, any
offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities
other than the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, if any, the
Prospectus Supplement, the Registration Statement, copies of the documents
incorporated by reference therein and any other materials permitted by the
Securities Act.

3.
REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES. Except as set forth under the corresponding section of the
Disclosure Schedules which Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed a part hereof,
the Company hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth below to
the Placement Agent.
3
(A) Organization and
Qualification. All of the significant direct and indirect
subsidiaries (individually, a “Subsidiary”) of the
Company are set forth in the SEC Reports. The Company owns, directly
or indirectly, all of the capital stock or other equity interests of each
Subsidiary free and clear of any “Liens” (which for
purposes of this Agreement shall mean a lien, charge, security interest,
encumbrance, right of first refusal, preemptive right or other restriction), and
all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary are
validly issued and are fully paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive and
similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. The Company
and each of the Subsidiaries is an entity duly incorporated or otherwise
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization (as applicable), with the
requisite power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to
carry on its business as currently conducted. Neither the Company nor
any Subsidiary is in violation or default of any of the provisions of its
respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other
organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and the
Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a
foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of
the business conducted 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, could not have or reasonably be expected to result in (i) a
material adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of any
Transaction Document, (ii) a material adverse effect on the results of
operations, assets, business, or financial condition of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the
Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its
obligations under any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse
Effect”) and no “Proceeding” (which
for purposes of this Agreement shall mean any action, claim, suit, investigation
or proceeding (including, without limitation, an investigation or partial
proceeding, such as a deposition), whether commenced or threatened) has been
instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking
to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification, except
where the revocation, limitation or curtailment could not reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(B) Authorization;
Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each
of the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations
hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of each of the
Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary
action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the
Company, its board of directors or its stockholders in connection therewith
other than in connection with the “Required Approvals”
(as defined in subsection 3(D) below). Each Transaction Document has
been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when
delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the
valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in
accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application
affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) as limited by laws
relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other
equitable remedies.
(C) No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Transaction Documents by the Company, the issuance and sale of the Securities
and the consummation by the Company of the other transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any
provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate or articles of
incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, or (ii)
result in a material breach of, or conflict with, or constitute a material
default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a
material default) under, result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the
properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, or give to others any
rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without
notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other
instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other
understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any
property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or
(iii) subject to the Required Approvals, conflict with or result in a violation
of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other
restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company or a
Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities laws and
regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary
is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii),
such as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.
4
(D) Filings, Consents and
Approvals. The Company is not required to obtain any consent,
waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or
registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other
governmental authority or other “Person” (defined as
an individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated
association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company,
government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind,
including, without limitation, any Trading Market) in connection with the
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents,
other than such filings as are required to be made under applicable Federal and
state securities laws and the rules and regulations of FINRA (collectively, the
“Required
Approvals”), and except where the failure to obtain any such consent,
waiver, authorization or order, give any such notice or make any such filing
could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.
(E) Issuance of the Securities;
Registration. The Securities are duly authorized and, when
issued and paid for in accordance with the applicable Transaction Documents,
will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of
all Liens imposed by the Company other than restrictions on transfer provided
for in the Transaction Documents. The Company has reserved from its
duly authorized capital stock the maximum number of shares of Common Stock
issuable pursuant to the Transaction Documents. The Shares, the
Warrants and Warrant Shares have been registered under the Securities
Act. The Registration Statement is effective and available for the
issuance of the Securities thereunder and the Company has not received any
notice that the Commission has issued or intends to issue a stop-order with
respect to the Registration Statement or that the Commission otherwise has
suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, either
temporarily or permanently, or intends or has threatened in writing to do
so. The "Plan of Distribution" section under the Registration
Statement permits the issuance and sale of the Securities
hereunder. Upon receipt of the Securities, the Purchasers will have
good and marketable title to such Securities, and the Shares will be freely
tradable on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Trading
Market”).
(F) Capitalization. The
capitalization of the Company is as set forth in the Prospectus Disclosure
Package. Except as otherwise described in the Prospectus Disclosure
Package, the Company has not issued any capital stock since its most recently
filed periodic report under the Exchange Act, other than pursuant to the
exercise of employee stock options under the Company’s stock option plans or
pursuant to the conversion or exercise of securities exercisable, exchangeable
or convertible into Common Stock, including without limitation the mandatory
conversion of the Series A preferred stock. (“Common Stock
Equivalents”). No Person has any right of first refusal,
preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as
set forth in the Prospectus Disclosure Package, there are no outstanding
options, warrants, script rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any
character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any
right to subscribe for or acquire, any shares of Common Stock, or contracts,
commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any
Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the
issuance and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company to issue
shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the
Purchasers) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities
to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under such
securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance
with all federal and state securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares
was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe
for or purchase securities. No further approval or authorization of any
stockholder, the Board of Directors of the Company or others is required for the
issuance and sale of the Securities. There are no stockholders
agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the
Company’s capital stock to which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge of
the Company, between or among any of the Company’s stockholders.
5
(G) SEC Reports; Financial
Statements. Except for a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on
May 13, 2009, the Company has complied in all material respects with
requirements to file all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other
documents required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the two years
preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by
law to file such material) (the foregoing materials, including the exhibits
thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, being collectively
referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”) on a
timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has
filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such
extension. As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in
all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated
thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the
SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting
requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect
thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved
(“GAAP”),
except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes
thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all
footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the
financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of and
for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the
periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal,
immaterial, year-end audit adjustments.
6
(H) Material Changes;
Undisclosed Events, Liabilities or Developments. Since the
date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC Reports,
except as contemplated by this Agreement or disclosed in the SEC Reports, (i)
there has been no event, occurrence or development that has had or that could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the Company
has not incurred any liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade

in the Company’s financial statements pursuant to GAAP or required to be
disclosed in filings made with the Commission, (iii) the Company has not altered
its method of accounting, (iv) the Company has not declared or made any dividend

director or “Affiliate” (defined
as any Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries,
controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a Person, as such
terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under the Securities Act), except
pursuant to existing Company stock option plans. The Company does not
have pending before the Commission any request for confidential treatment of
information. Except for the issuance of the Securities contemplated
by this Agreement, the Company has publicly disclosed all information required
to be disclosed under applicable securities laws at the time this representation
is made that has not been publicly disclosed one trading day prior to the date
that this representation is made.
(I) Litigation. There
is no action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation, Proceeding or investigation
pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the
Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties before or by any
court, arbitrator, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority
(federal, state, county, local or foreign) (collectively, an “Action”) which (i)
adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any
of the Transaction Documents or the Securities or (ii) could, if there were an
unfavorable decision, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor any
director or officer thereof, is or 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. There has not been, and to the
knowledge of the Company, there is not pending or contemplated, any
investigation by the Commission involving the Company or, to the Company’s
knowledge, any current or former director or officer of the Company that is
required to be disclosed in the SEC Reports. The Commission has not
issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any
registration statement filed by the Company or any Subsidiary under the Exchange
Act or the Securities Act. None of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’
employees is a member of a union that relates to such employee’s relationship
with the Company, and neither the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party
to a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries
believe that their relationships with their employees are good. No
executive officer, to the knowledge of the Company, is, or is now expected to
be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract,
confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement or
non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive
covenant, and the continued employment of each such executive officer does not
subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to
any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in
compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations
relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of
employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance
could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(J) Labor
Relations. No material labor dispute exists or, to the
knowledge of the Company, is imminent with respect to any of the employees of
the Company which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.
7
(K) Compliance. Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary (i) is in default under or in violation of (and
no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of
time or both, would result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary under),
nor has the Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in
default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit
agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by
which it or any of its properties is bound (whether or not such default or
violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any order of any court,
arbitrator or governmental body, or (iii) is or has been in violation of any
statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority, including without
limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws applicable to its business
and all such laws that affect the environment, except in each case as could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(L) Regulatory
Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all
certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,
state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their
respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports, except where the failure
to possess such permits could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect (“Material Permits”),
and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of
proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any Material
Permit.
(M) Title to
Assets. The Company owns no real property. Other
than liens on personal or other property securing indebtedness of the Company in
the ordinary course of business or as described in the Prospectus Disclosure
Package, the Company has good and marketable title in all personal property
owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens as do
not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere
with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and
the Subsidiaries and Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, the
payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to
penalties. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports or not required to
be disclosed in the SEC Reports, any real property and facilities held under
lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid,
subsisting and enforceable leases with which the Company and the Subsidiaries
are in compliance.
(N) Patents and
Trademarks. The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have
rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark
applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights,
licenses and other similar intellectual property rights necessary or material
for use in connection with their respective businesses as described in the SEC
Reports and which the failure to so have could have a Material Adverse Effect
(collectively, the “Intellectual Property
Rights”). Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received
notice (written or otherwise) that the Intellectual Property Rights used by the
Company or any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of any third
party. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual
Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another
Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights of others. The
Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect
the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties,
except where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(O) Insurance. The
Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial
responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as, to the
Company’s knowledge, are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the
Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged, including, but not limited to,
directors and officers insurance coverage at least equal to the aggregate
subscription amount under the Transaction Documents. To the knowledge
of the Company, such insurance contracts and policies are accurate and
complete. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to
believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and
when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers
as may be necessary to continue its business without a significant increase in
cost.
8
(P) Transactions With Affiliates
and Employees. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, none of
the officers or directors of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company,
none of its employees are presently a party to any transaction with the Company
or any Subsidiary (other than for services as employees, officers and
directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for
the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal
property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer,
director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in
which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or
is an officer, director, trustee or partner, other than for (i) payment of
salary or consulting fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement of expenses
incurred on behalf of the Company and (iii) other employee benefits, including
stock option agreements under any stock option plan of the Company.

Company is in material compliance with all provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act
of 2002 which are applicable to it as of the date hereof and of the Closing Date
of the Placement.

Fees. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no
brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company
to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent,
investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Purchasers shall have
no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or
on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that
may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents.
(S) Trading Market
Rules. The issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder does
not contravene the rules and regulations of the Trading Market.
(T) Investment Company.
The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of
payment for the Securities, will not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment
company” within the meaning of 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.
(U) Registration
Rights. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, no Person has
any right to cause the Company to effect the registration under the Securities
Act of any securities of the Company.
(V) Listing and Maintenance
Requirements. The Company’s Common Stock is registered
pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has
taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the
effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange
Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is
contemplating terminating such registration. Except as disclosed in
the SEC Reports, the Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date
hereof, received notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or
has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance
with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. Except as
disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company is, and has no reason to believe that
it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all
such listing and maintenance requirements.
(W) Application of Takeover
Protections. The Company and its Board of Directors have taken
all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share
acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under
a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s
Certificate of Incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its
state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a
result of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or
exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without
limitation as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the
Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.
9
(X) Solvency. Based
on the financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date after giving
effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the
Securities hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets
exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the
Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent
liabilities) as they mature; (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute
unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year
as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs
taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business
conducted by the Company, and projected capital requirements and capital
availability thereof; and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together
with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its
assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be
sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are
required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts
beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the
timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its
debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances
which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation
under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year
from the Closing Date. The SEC Reports set forth as of the dates
thereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any
Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has
commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” shall
mean (a) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000
(other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business),
(b) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of
Indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in
the Company’s balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by
endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar
transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (c) the present value of
any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be
capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.
(Y) Tax
Status. Except for matters that would not, individually or in
the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, the Company and each Subsidiary has filed all necessary federal, state
and foreign income and franchise tax returns and has paid or accrued all taxes
shown as due thereon, and the Company has no knowledge of a tax deficiency which
has been asserted or threatened against the Company or any
Subsidiary.
(Z) Foreign Corrupt
Practices. Neither the Company, nor to the knowledge of the
Company, any agent or other person acting on behalf of the Company, has (i)
directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions, gifts,
entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic
political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic
government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political
parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any
contribution made by the Company (or made by any person acting on its behalf of
which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law, or (iv)
violated in any material respect any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices
Act of 1977, as amended.
(AA) Accountants. The
Company’s accountants are named in the Prospectus Supplement. To the
knowledge of the Company, such accountants, who the Company expects will express
their opinion with respect to the financial statements to be included in the
Company’s next Annual Report on Form 10-K, are a registered public accounting
firm as required by the Securities Act.
(BB) Regulation M
Compliance. The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting
on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to
cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any
security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the
Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or, paid any compensation for
soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities (other than for the Placement
Agent’s placement of the Securities), or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any
person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities
of the Company.
10
(CC) Approvals. The
issuance and listing on the Trading Market of the Shares requires no further
approvals, including but not limited to, the approval of
shareholders.
(DD) FINRA
Affiliations. There are no affiliations with any FINRA member
firm among the Company’s officers, directors or, to the knowledge of the
Company, any five percent (5%) or greater stockholder of the Company, except as
set forth in the Prospectus Disclosure Package.

counsel, is material and is required to be stated therein or is necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading.
11
(C) All
corporate proceedings and other legal matters incident to the authorization,
form, execution, delivery and validity of each of this Agreement, the

of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any change, or any development
involving a prospective change, in or affecting the business, management,
financial position, results of operations or prospects of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, otherwise than as set forth in or contemplated by the Registration
Statement, Base Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement, 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 adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to
proceed with the sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the
manner contemplated by the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, if any,
and the Prospectus Supplement.
(F) The

of the Placement Agent, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the sale or
delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the
Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement.
12
(H) No
action shall have been taken and no statute, rule, regulation or order shall

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) 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 pursuant to this Agreement, 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.
(B) Promptly
after receipt by Xxxxxx of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action
or proceeding with respect to which Xxxxxx is entitled to indemnity hereunder,
Xxxxxx will notify the Company in writing of such claim or of the commencement
of such action or proceeding, but failure to so notify the Company shall not
relieve the Company from any obligation it may have hereunder, except and only
to the extent such failure results in the forfeiture by the Company of
substantial rights and defenses. If the Company so elects or is
requested by Xxxxxx, the Company will assume the defense of such action or
proceeding and will employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to Xxxxxx and will
pay the reasonable 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 will be paid by the
Company, in addition to local counsel. The Company will have the
exclusive right to settle the claim or proceeding provided that the Company will
not settle any such claim, action or proceeding without the prior written
consent of Xxxxxx, which will not be unreasonably withheld.
13
(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 Agreement.
(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 Agreement (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 Agreement, 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. If either party shall
commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of a Transaction
Document, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be
reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys’ fees and other costs and
expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such
action or proceeding.

SECTION
10.
ENTIRE
AGREEMENT/MISC. This Agreement 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 representations,
warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive the closing
of the Placement and delivery and/or exercise of the Securities, 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. In the event that 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, or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is
