of this Agreement, the Company shall or, in the case of Common Stock, shall
cause the transfer agent for the Common Stock (the “Transfer Agent”) to issue
replacement certificates representing the Securities sold or disposed of without

a non-affiliate pursuant to Rule 144, then, upon the request of an Investor, the

Transfer Agent shall reissue a certificate representing shares of Common Stock
without legends upon receipt by such Transfer Agent of the legended certificates
for such shares, together with either (1) a customary representation by the
Investor that Rule 144 applies to the shares of Common Stock represented thereby
or (2) a statement by the Investor that such Investor has sold the shares of
Common Stock represented thereby in accordance with the Plan of Distribution
contained in the Registration Statement. From and after the earlier of such
dates, upon an Investor’s written request, the Company shall, if permitted by
applicable law, promptly cause certificates evidencing the Investor’s Securities
to be replaced with certificates which do not bear such restrictive legends, and
Warrant Shares subsequently issued upon due exercise of the Warrants shall not
bear such restrictive legends provided the provisions of either clause (i) or
clause (ii) above, as applicable, are satisfied with respect to such Warrant
Shares.
7.9 Proposals.
(a) The
Company is in the process of seeking approval of the Company’s stockholders
through written consent for (i) the repeal of Article XII of the Company’s
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and (ii) the sanction and
approval of borrowings in excess of the borrowing limit imposed by Article VIII
of the Company’s Amended and Restated By-Laws (collectively, the

to their fiduciary obligations under applicable law (as determined in good faith
by the Company’s Board of Directors after consultation with the Company’s
outside counsel), the Company’s Board of Directors shall recommend to the
Company’s stockholders that the stockholders vote in favor of the Proposals (the
“Company Board Recommendation”) and take all commercially reasonable action to
solicit the written consent of the stockholders for the Proposals unless the
Board of Directors shall have modified, amended or withdrawn the Company Board
Recommendation pursuant to the provisions of the immediately succeeding
sentence. The Company covenants that the Board of Directors of the Company shall
not modify, amend or withdraw the Company Board Recommendation unless the Board
of Directors (after consultation with the Company’s outside counsel) shall
determine in the good faith exercise of its business judgment that maintaining
the Company Board Recommendation would violate its fiduciary duty to the
Company’s stockholders.
8. Survival and
Indemnification.
8.1 Survival. Any covenant or agreement in this Agreement
required to be performed following the applicable Closing Date, shall survive
such Closing Date. Without limitation of the foregoing, the respective
representations and warranties given by the parties hereto shall survive each
Closing Date and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, but
only for a period of the earlier of (i) twenty-four (24) months following the
final Closing Date and (ii) the applicable statute of limitations with respect
to each representation and warranty, and thereafter shall expire and have no
further force and effect (including with respect to the indemnification
obligations contained herein).
-20-

Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless each Investor and its Affiliates and their respective directors,
officers, employees and agents from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorney fees and disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection with
investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim or proceeding, pending or threatened and the costs of
enforcement thereof) (collectively, “Losses”) to which such Person may become
subject as a result of any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement made by or to be performed on the part of the Company under the
Transaction Documents, and will reimburse any such Person for all such amounts
as they are incurred by such Person; provided, however, in no event shall the
Company’s indemnification obligations exceed the aggregate Purchase Price
received the Company hereunder.
8.3 Conduct of Indemnification
Proceedings. Any person entitled to
indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party
of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such
indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any
person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ
separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (a)
the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the
indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and
employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (c) in the reasonable
judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a
conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party with
respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying
party in writing that such person 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 claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that the
failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not
relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the
extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the
indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is
understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any
proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than
one separate firm of attorneys at any time
for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the
consent of the indemnified party, 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 from all
liability in respect of such claim or litigation. The Company shall not be
liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but if
settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff,
the Company 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, subject to the limitation contained in Section
8.2.1.

9.12 Independent Nature of
Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor under
any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any
other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the
performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any Transaction
Document. The decision of each Investor to purchase Securities pursuant to the
Transaction Documents has been made by such Investor independently of any other
Investor. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action
taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the
Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of
entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in
concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Investor acknowledges that no
other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no
Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring
its investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction
Documents. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce
its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this
Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be
necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any
proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the Investors
has been provided with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing
a transaction with multiple Investors and not because it was required or
requested to do so by any Investor.
9.13 No Strict
Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be
the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules
of strict construction will be applied against any party.
9.14 Rights Cumulative.
Except as expressly set forth herein, each and all of the various rights, powers
and remedies of the parties shall be considered cumulative with and in addition
to any other rights, powers and remedies which such parties may have at law or
in equity in the event of the breach of any of the terms of this Agreement. The
exercise or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy shall neither
constitute the exclusive election thereof nor the waiver of any other right,
power or remedy available to such party.
9.15 Lock Up. (a) Each
Investor hereby severally, and not joingly,
agrees, that, without the prior written consent of the Company, it will not (and
will cause any spouse or immediate family member of the spouse or such Investor
living in such Investor’s household, any partnership, corporation or other
entity within such Investor’s control, and any trustee of any trust that holds
Common Stock or other securities of the Company for the benefit of such Investor
or such spouse or family member not to),

Company in connection with a Qualified Transaction is declared effective by the

Debentures or issued or issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, or (2) enter
into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in
part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of shares of Common Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Such Investor shall not be restricted from
distributing any of the Company’s securities to such Investor’s equity holders
provided that prior to and as a condition to the effectiveness of any such
distribution such equity holders execute a lock-up agreement substantially in
the form hereof in favor of the Company.
-25-
(b) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 9.15(a) above, such Investor may transfer
Common Stock (i) as a
bona
fide
gift or gifts, provided that prior to such transfer the donee or donees
thereof agree in writing to be bound by the restrictions set forth herein, (ii)
to any trust, partnership, corporation or other entity formed for the direct or
indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned,
provided that prior to such transfer a duly authorized officer, representative
or trustee of such transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the restrictions
set forth herein; and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve
a disposition for value, or (iii) if such transfer occurs by operation of law,
such as rules of descent and distribution, statutes governing the effects of a
merger or a qualified domestic order; provided that prior to such transfer the
transferee executes an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and
holding the shares subject to the provisions of this Agreement. For purposes
hereof, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or
adoption, not more remote than first cousin.
(c) The
Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to (a)
decline to make any transfer of shares of Common Stock if such transfer would
constitute a violation or breach of this Section 9.15 and (b) place legends and
stop transfer instructions on any such shares of Common Stock owned or
beneficially owned by such Investor.

Defined

The

Warrants) to the Placement Agent and the other placement agents described in the
PPM, as well as to other finders, brokers and agents that it may engage in
connection with the sale of the Debentures. In addition, the Company may be

hereunder may result in the adjustment of the exercise price of certain of the
Company’s outstanding warrants.

XI of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains
provisions requiring shareholders who own beneficially 30% of more of the
outstanding stock of the Company to comply with certain notice and offer

which $677,610 are past due 90 days or more.

through February 2009) which gave warrant holders the opportunity to exercise
their warrants for cash at a price less than the exercise price stated in the
warrant, and to receive additional “bonus” warrants based on the total amount of
exercise price paid. The Warrant Repricing Program ended in mid-February 2009
and all currently outstanding warrants remain at
the exercise price originally stated as may be adjusted in accordance with the
terms of the particular warrant.
