validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or
organization as set forth below such Investor’s name on the signature page hereof with the
requisite corporate power and authority to purchase the Notes and Warrants to be purchased by it
hereunder and to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it

legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws of
general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and
(ii) general principles of equity.

is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, (ii) was not formed or organized for the specific purpose
of making an investment in the Company, and (iii) is acquiring the Securities solely for its own
account and not with a present view to the public resale or distribution of all or any part
thereof, except pursuant to sales that are registered under, or exempt from the registration
requirements of, the Securities Act; provided, however, that in making such representation, such
Investor does not agree to hold the Securities for any minimum or specific term and reserves the
right to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement and with Federal and state securities laws applicable to such sale,
transfer or disposition. Such Investor can bear the economic risk of a total loss of its investment
in the Securities and has such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters so as to
enable it to understand the risks of and form an investment decision with respect to its investment
in the Securities.

investment in the Securities. Neither such information nor any other investigation conducted by
such Investor or any of its representatives shall modify, amend or otherwise affect such Investor’s
right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.
2.4 Limitations on Disposition. Such Investor acknowledges that, except as provided

under
11
the Securities Act and may not be transferred or resold without registration under the

2.5 Legend. Such Investor understands that the certificates representing the Warrants
may bear at issuance a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:
“The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any
state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale or sold unless a
registration statement under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws shall have become effective with respect thereto, or an
exemption from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws is available in connection with such offer or sale. These
securities and the securities issuable upon exercise hereof (i) may be
pledged or hypothecated in connection with a bona fide margin account or
other financing secured by such securities or (ii) may be transferred or
assigned to an affiliate of the holder hereof without the necessity of an

without limitation a pledge) of any of the Securities is registered pursuant to an effective
registration statement, (B) such Securities have been sold pursuant to Rule 144, subject to receipt
by the Company of customary documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company in connection
therewith, or (C) such Securities are eligible for resale under Rule 144(k) or any successor

with respect to Securities upon which such legend is stamped, the Company shall issue new
certificates without such legend to the holder upon request. The Company shall execute and deliver
written instructions to the transfer agent for its Common Stock (the “Transfer Agent”) as may be
necessary to satisfy any request by an Investor for removal of such legends no later than the close
of business on the third (3rd) Business Day following the receipt of the request from an
Investor to the extent such legends may be removed in accordance with this Section 2.5.

offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of
U.S. federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy
of the representations and warranties of such Investor set forth in this Section 2 in order to
determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Investor to acquire the
Securities. Such Investor acknowledges that it did not purchase the Securities based upon any
advertisement in any publication of general circulation. Such Investor is relying on the
representations, acknowledgements and agreements made by the Company in Section 3 and elsewhere in
this Agreement in making investing, trading and/or other decisions concerning the Company’s
securities.
2.7 Non-Affiliate Status; Common Stock Ownership. Such Investor is not an Affiliate
of the Company or of any other Investor and is not acting in association or concert with any other
Person in regard to its purchase of the Securities or otherwise in respect of the Company. Such
Investor’s investment in the Securities is not for the purpose of acquiring,
12
directly or indirectly, control of, and it has no intent to acquire or exercise control of, the

related expenditure to any underwriter, broker, agent or other representative in connection with

such Investor, or the constituent documents of such Investor.
2.10 No Governmental Review. Such Investor understands that no U.S. federal or state
agency or any other Governmental Authority has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement
of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of an investment in the Securities nor have such
authorities passed upon the accuracy of any information provided to such Investor or made any
findings or determinations as to the merits of the offering of the Securities.
2.11 Certain Trading Activities. Such Investor has not, in violation of the
securities laws, directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any
understanding with such Investor, engaged in any transactions in the securities of the Company
since the time that such Investor was first contacted by the Company or Xxxxxxx Bros., L.P.

and no further consent or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors, stockholders, any
Governmental Authority or any other Person (other than such approval as may be required under the

required (pursuant to any rule of the Principal Market or otherwise). All corporate action on the
part of each Company Subsidiary by its officers, directors, stockholders, members or governors
necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of, and the performance by such Company
Subsidiary of its obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee and the Security Agreement has been

Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the Company has filed with
the Commission all SEC Documents that the Company was required to file with the Commission on or

filing of, or with respect to which the Company intends to file, a Form 8-K after the Closing.
Each SEC Document filed on or after December 31, 2005, as of the date of the filing thereof with
the Commission (or if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the Execution Date, then on the
date of such amending or superseding filing), complied in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Act or Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder and, as of the date of such filing (or if amended or superseded by a filing
prior to the Execution Date, then on the date of such filing), such SEC Document (including all
exhibits and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein) did not, contain an
untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a 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. All documents required to be filed as exhibits to the SEC Documents filed on or

Documents, the Company has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than liabilities incurred
in the ordinary course of business which, under GAAP, are not required to be reflected in the
financial statements included in the Disclosure Documents and which, individually or in the
aggregate, are not material to the consolidated business or financial condition of the Company and
the Company Subsidiaries taken as a whole. As of their respective dates, the financial statements
of the Company included in the SEC Documents filed on or after December 31, 2005 complied as to
form in all

of the Commission with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with GAAP consistently applied at the times and during the periods involved (except (i) as may be

registration statements and definitive proxy statements that the Company is required to file or

secondary offering by each Investor on a registration statement on Form SB-2 under the Securities
Act. To the Company’s knowledge, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, there exist no
facts or circumstances (including without limitation any required approvals or waivers of any
circumstances that may delay or prevent the obtaining of accountant’s consents) that could
reasonably be expected to prohibit or delay the preparation, filing or effectiveness of such
registration statement on Form SB-2.
3.8 No Conflict; No Violation. Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary is in
violation of any provisions of its charter, bylaws or any other governing document. Neither the
Company nor any Company Subsidiary is in violation of or in default (and no event has occurred
which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under any provision of any
instrument or contract to which it is a party or by which it or any of its Property is bound, or in
violation of any provision of any Governmental Requirement applicable to the Company or any Company
Subsidiary. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not result
in any violation of any provisions of the Company’s or any Company Subsidiary’s charter, bylaws or
any other governing document or in a default under any provision of any instrument or contract to
which the Company or Company Subsidiary is a party or by which it or any of its Property is bound,
or in violation of any provision of any Governmental Requirement applicable to the Company or
Company Subsidiary or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and
giving of notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument or contract or an event
which results in the creation of any Lien upon any assets of the Company or of any Company
Subsidiary or the triggering of any preemptive or anti-dilution rights (including without
limitation pursuant to any “reset” or similar provisions) or rights of first refusal or first
offer, or any other rights that would allow or permit the holders of the Company’s securities or
any other Person to purchase shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company or Company
Subsidiary (whether pursuant to a stockholder rights plan provision or otherwise).
3.9 Financial Condition; Taxes; Litigation.
3.9.1 The financial condition of each of the Company and each Company Subsidiary is, in all
material respects, as described in the Disclosure Documents, except for changes in the ordinary
course of business and normal year-end adjustments that are not, in the aggregate, materially
adverse to the consolidated business or financial condition of the Company and the Company
Subsidiaries taken as a whole. There has been no (i) material adverse change to the business,
operations, properties, financial condition, prospects or results of operations of the Company and
the Company Subsidiaries taken as a whole since the date of the Company’s most recent financial

16
by it and such returns are complete and accurate in all material respects and the Company and the
Company Subsidiaries each has paid all taxes required to have been paid by it, except for taxes
which it reasonably disputes in good faith or the failure of which to pay has not had or would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.9.2,
neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has any liability with respect to taxes that accrued
on or before the date of the most recent balance sheet of the Company included in the Disclosure
Documents in excess of the amounts accrued with respect thereto that are reflected on such balance
sheet.
3.9.3 Except as set forth on Schedule 3.9.2, neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary
is the subject of any pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened inquiry, investigation or
administrative or legal proceeding of a material nature by the Internal Revenue Service, the taxing
authorities of any state or local jurisdiction, the Commission, any state securities commission or
other Governmental Authority.
3.9.4 Except as set forth in the Disclosure Documents (and if not set forth therein, except
as set forth on Schedule 3.9.4), there is no material claim, litigation or administrative
proceeding pending, or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened or contemplated, against the Company
or any Company Subsidiary, or against any officer, director or employee of the Company or any such
Company Subsidiary in connection with such person’s employment therewith. Neither the Company nor
any Company Subsidiary is a party to or subject to the provisions of, any order, writ, injunction,
judgment or decree of any court or Government Authority which has had or would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.10 Acknowledgement of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the
Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company
further acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms
of the Warrants shall not be affected, regardless of the effect of any such dilution. The Company
further acknowledges that, to the extent not otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement,
each Investor may enter into hedging transactions with respect to the Common Stock and that such
sales or transactions may have a downward effect on the market price of the Common Stock.
3.11 Intellectual Property. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Documents:
(a) The Company and the Company Subsidiaries own, free and clear of claims or rights or any
other Person, with full right to use, sell, license, sublicense, dispose of, and bring actions for
infringement of, or, to the knowledge of the Company, has acquired licenses or other rights to use,
all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as presently conducted (other
than with respect to software which is generally commercially available and not used or
incorporated into the Company’s products and open source software which may be subject to one or
more “general public” licenses). All works that are used or incorporated into the Company’s or any
of the Company Subsidiaries’ services, products or services or products actively under development
and which is proprietary to the Company or such Company Subsidiary was developed by or for the
Company or the Company Subsidiaries by the current or former employees,
17
consultants or independent contractors of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or purchased
or licensed by the Company or one or more Company Subsidiaries.
(b) The business of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as presently conducted and the
production, marketing, licensing, use and servicing of any products or services of the Company and
the Company Subsidiaries do not, to the knowledge of the Company, infringe or conflict with any
patent, trademark, copyright, or trade secret rights of any third parties or any other Intellectual
Property of any third parties in any material respect. Neither the Company nor any Company
Subsidiary has received written notice from any third party asserting that any Intellectual
Property owned or licensed by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries, or which the Company or any
Company Subsidiary otherwise has the right to use, is invalid or unenforceable by the Company or
such Company Subsidiary and, to the Company’s knowledge, there is no valid basis for any such claim
(whether or not pending or threatened).
(c) No claim is pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company or any
Company Subsidiary nor has the Company or any Company Subsidiary received any written notice or
other written claim from any Person asserting that any of the Company’s or a Company Subsidiary’s
present or contemplated activities infringe or may infringe in any material respect any
Intellectual Property of such Person, and the Company is not aware of any infringement by any other
Person of any material rights of the Company or any Company Subsidiary under any Intellectual
Property Rights.
(d) All licenses or other agreements under which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is
granted Intellectual Property (excluding licenses to use software utilized in the Company’s or such
Company Subsidiary’s internal operations and which is generally commercially available) are in full
force and effect and, to the Company’s knowledge, there is no material default by any party
thereto. The Company has no reason to believe that the licensors under such licenses and other
agreements do not have and did not have all requisite power and authority to grant the rights to
the Intellectual Property purported to be granted thereby.
(e) All licenses or other agreements under which the Company or any Company Subsidiary has
granted rights to Intellectual Property to others (including all end-user agreements) are in full
force and effect, there has been no material default by the Company or any Company Subsidiary
thereunder and, to the Company’s knowledge, there is no material default of any provision thereof
relating to Intellectual Property by any other party thereto.
(f) The Company and the Company Subsidiaries have taken all steps required in accordance with
commercially reasonable business practice to establish and preserve their ownership in their owned
Intellectual Property and to keep confidential all material technical information developed by or
belonging to the Company or the Company Subsidiaries which has not been patented or copyrighted.
To the Company’s knowledge, neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary is making any unlawful
use of any Intellectual Property of any other Person, including, without limitation, any former
employer of any past or present employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiary. To the
Company’s knowledge, neither the Company, any Company Subsidiary nor any of their respective
employees has any agreements or arrangements with former employers of such employees relating to
any Intellectual Property of such employers,
18
which materially interfere or conflict with the performance of such employee’s duties for the
Company or any Company Subsidiary or result in any former employers of such employees having any
rights in, or claims on, the Company’s or any Company Subsidiary’s Intellectual Property. Each
employee of the Company and of each Company Subsidiary is subject to the policies regarding
confidentiality and proprietary information described in the Company’s current employee handbook,
which policies are reasonably sufficient to protect the Intellectual Property interests of the
Company or a Company Subsidiary in inventions created by its employees. The Company and each
Company Subsidiary has obtained executed assignment agreements from any current or former employees
with respect to the development by such employees of intellectual property that have become the
subject of registered patents or of outstanding applications for registration. The Company and
each Company Subsidiary has taken reasonable security measures to guard against unauthorized
disclosure or use of any of its Intellectual Property that is confidential or proprietary; and the
Company has no reason to believe that any Person (including, without limitation, any former
employee or consultant of the Company or of any Company Subsidiary) has unauthorized possession of
any of its Intellectual Property, or any part thereof, or that any Person has obtained unauthorized
access to any of its Intellectual Property. The Company and each Company Subsidiary has complied
in all material respects with its respective obligations pursuant to all agreements relating to
Intellectual Property rights that are the subject of licenses granted by third parties, except for
any non-compliance that has not had or would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
3.12 Registration Rights; Rights of Participation. Except as set forth on Schedule
3.12, (A) the Company has not granted or agreed to grant to any person or entity any rights

being satisfied in full pursuant to existing registration statements or waived on or prior to the
date hereof, and (B) no person or entity, including, but not limited to, current or former
stockholders of the Company, underwriters, brokers, agents or other third parties, has any right of
first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, anti-dilutive right or any similar right
to participate in, or to receive securities or other assets of the Company solely as a result of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.
3.13 Solicitation; Other Issuances of Securities. Neither the Company nor any Company
Subsidiary or Affiliate, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, (i) has engaged in any form
of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection
with the offer or sale of the Securities, (ii) has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or
sales of any security or the right to purchase any security, or solicited any offers to buy any
security or any such right, under circumstances that would require registration of the Securities
under the Securities Act or (iii) has issued any shares of Common Stock or shares of any series of
preferred stock or other securities or instruments convertible into, exchangeable for or otherwise
entitling the holder thereof to acquire shares of Common Stock which would be integrated with the
sale of the Securities to such Investor or the issuance of the Warrant Shares for purposes of the
Securities Act or of any applicable stockholder approval provisions nor will the Company or any
Company Subsidiary or Affiliate take any action or steps that would require registration of any of
the Securities under the Securities Act or cause the offering of the Securities to be so integrated
with other offerings.
19

obligated to pay any brokers, finders or financial advisory fees or commissions to any underwriter,

entity alleging that such Investor is obligated to pay any such compensation, fee, cost or related
expenditure in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
3.15 Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, any Company Subsidiary nor, to
the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent, employee or other person acting on

officers (as defined in Rule 501(f) of the Securities Act) (each, a “Key Employee”) is currently
serving in the capacity described in the Disclosure Documents. The Company has no knowledge of any
fact or circumstance (including without limitation (i) the terms of any agreement to which such
person is a party or any litigation in which such person is or may become involved and (ii) any
illness or medical condition that could reasonably be expected to result in the disability or
incapacity of such person) that would limit or prevent any such person from serving in such
capacity on a full-time basis in the foreseeable future, or of any intention on the part of any
such person to limit or terminate his or her employment with the Company or any Company Subsidiary.
To the knowledge of the Company, no Key Employee has borrowed money pursuant to a currently
outstanding loan that is secured by Common Stock or any right or option to receive Common Stock.

respects with all applicable federal and state equal opportunity and other laws related to
employment.

the Company Subsidiaries have no liabilities under any Environmental Law, nor, to the Company’s
knowledge, do any factors exist that are reasonably likely to give rise to any such liability,
affecting any of the properties owned or leased by the Company or any Company Subsidiary that,
individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has violated any Environmental Law
applicable to it now or previously in effect, other than such violations or infringements that,
individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
20

under, any Pension Plan. The Company is in compliance in all material respects with the presently
applicable provisions of ERISA and the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,

Company. All disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Investors regarding the
Company and the Company Subsidiaries, and their respective businesses and the transactions
contemplated hereby, including the Schedules to this Agreement, is true and correct and does not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in
order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. The press releases disseminated by the Company during the twelve months
preceding the date of this Agreement did not, at the time they were issued, contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made
and when made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Investor makes or has
made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other
than those specifically set forth in Section 2.

Subsidiaries in such amounts and covering such losses and risks as are reasonably sufficient and

the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, no notice of cancellation has been received for any of
such policies and the Company is in compliance in all material respects with all of the terms and
conditions thereof. The Company has no 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 to conduct its business as currently conducted
without a significant increase in cost. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company maintains Director’s and Officer’s insurance in an amount not less than $3 million for each
covered occurrence.

except for Permitted Liens. Any Property held under lease by the Company or the Company
Subsidiaries is held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as

neither the Company nor any such Company Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating
to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization or permit.
3.24 Exchange Act Registration; OTC Bulletin Board. The Company’s Common Stock is
registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.

terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act or qualification to have
the Common Stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.
3.25 Investment Company Status. The Company is not, and immediately after any Closing
will not be, an “investment company” or an entity “controlled” by an “investment company” within

the financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Company Subsidiaries shall constitute property of, or shall be beneficially owned, directly or
indirectly, by any person subject to trade restrictions under United States law, including, but not
limited to, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. § 1701 et seq., the
22
Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 1 et seq., and any Executive Orders or regulations
promulgated under any such United States laws (each, an “Embargoed Person”), with the result that

stockholder or employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary is or has made any arrangements
with the Company or any Company Subsidiary to become a party to any transaction with the Company or

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, stockholder or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any
entity in which any officer, director, stockholder or any such employee has a substantial interest

Subsidiaries with their respective customers and suppliers are maintained on commercially
reasonable terms. To the Company’s knowledge, no customer or supplier of the Company or any
Company Subsidiary has any plan or intention to terminate its agreement with the Company or such
Company Subsidiary, which termination would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
3.31 Accountants. The Company’s accountants, who the Company expects will render
their opinion with respect to the financial statements to be included in the Company’s Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, are, to the Company’s knowledge,
independent accountants as required by the Securities Act.

the Company Subsidiaries as of April 30, 2007 was equal to $1,422,196.

that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing Debt; (ii) the
Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as now
conducted and as proposed to be conducted; and (iii) the expected cash flows of the Company for
future periods, together with the proceeds the Company would receive upon liquidation of its
23
assets and the proceeds from expected debt or equity offerings, after taking into account all
anticipated uses of such amounts, would be sufficient to pay all Debt when such Debt is required to
be paid. The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which led it to believe that
it will be required to file for reorganization or liquidation under bankruptcy or reorganization
laws of any jurisdiction, and has no present intention to so file.

this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby; provided, however, that each Investor shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and
comment on any such press release or Form 8-K prior to the issuance or filing thereof; and
provided, further, that if the Company fails to issue a press release disclosing the material terms
of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents within the time frames described herein, any
Investor may issue a press release disclosing such information without any notice to or consent by
the Company. Thereafter, the Company shall timely file any filings and notices required by the
Commission or applicable law with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.
4.2 Existence and Compliance. The Company agrees that it will, and will cause each
Company Subsidiary to, while any Investor holds any Securities:
(a) maintain its corporate existence in good standing;
(b) comply with all Governmental Requirements applicable to the operation of its business,

(c) comply with all agreements, documents and instruments binding on it or affecting its
Properties or business, including, without limitation, all Material Contracts, except for instances

24
(d) provide each Investor with copies of all materials sent to its stockholders at the same
time as such materials are delivered to such stockholders (provided that such delivery shall be
deemed effected in accordance herewith if the Company provides the Investors with a link to the
XXXXX filing containing such materials);
(e) timely file with the Commission all reports required to be filed pursuant to the Exchange
Act and refrain from terminating its status as an issuer required by the Exchange Act to file
reports thereunder even if the Exchange Act or the rules or regulations thereunder would permit
such termination;
(f) take commercially reasonable steps to limit sales of Common Stock by the Company’s Key
Employees listed on Schedule 4.2(f) during the period beginning on the Execution Date and ending on
the Effective Date, other than pursuant to any 10b-5(1) trading plans in effect as of the Execution

4.3 Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall, on the Closing Date, have
authorized and reserved for issuance to the Investors free from any preemptive rights, and shall
keep available at all times during which any Notes or Warrants are outstanding, a number of shares
of Common Stock (the “Reserved Amount”) that, on the Closing Date, is not less than two hundred
percent (200%) of the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable if the Warrants were then
exercised in full; in each such case, without regard to any limitation or restriction on (x) the
issuance of such Securities or (y) the exercise of any Warrants. The Reserved Amount shall be
allocated among the Investors in accordance with each Investor’s Pro Rata Share. In the event that
an Investor shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Investor’s Warrants, each transferee shall
be allocated a pro rata portion of such transferor’s Reserved Amount. Any portion of the Reserved
Amount allocated to any Investor or other Person which no longer holds any Warrants shall be
reallocated to the remaining Investors pro rata based on the number of the Registrable Securities
held by such Investors at such time. In the event that the Reserved Amount is insufficient at any
time to cover one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the Registrable Securities issued or
issuable to the Investors under the Warrants (such number to be determined (x) using the exercise
price of the Warrants in effect at such time and (y) without regard to any limitation or
restriction on (1) the issuance of such Registrable Securities or (2) the exercise of any
Warrants), the Company shall take such action (including without limitation holding a meeting of
its stockholders) to increase the Reserved Amount to cover two hundred percent (200%) of such
Registrable Securities, such increase to be effective not later than the thirtieth (30th) day (or
sixtieth (60th) day, in the event stockholder approval is required for such increase) following the

Company shall not reduce the Reserved Amount without obtaining the prior written consent of each
Investor then holding a Warrant.
25
4.4 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds from the sale of the Notes
and Warrants (i) first, for the repayment in full of all of the Debt owed by the Company and/or the
Company Subsidiaries to or under City Search, the Xxxxx Fargo facility and the Comerica facility
and (ii) second, for general working capital purposes.
4.5 Transactions with Affiliates. The Company agrees that, during the period
beginning on the Execution Date and ending on the Termination Date, any transaction or arrangement
between the Company or any Company Subsidiary, on the one hand, and any Affiliate of the Company or
any Company Subsidiary (including, in the case of the Company, any Company Subsidiary, and in the
case of a Company Subsidiary, the Company or any other Company Subsidiary), or any officer,
director, manager, shareholder, member or employee of the foregoing, on the other hand, shall be
effected on an arms’ length basis and shall be approved by the independent members of board of

covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such
registration statement; or
(b) such Investor has notified the Company in writing of any such disposition, and furnished
the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such
disposition will not require registration of such Securities under the Securities Act; provided,
however, that no such opinion of counsel will be required (A) if the sale, transfer, assignment or
disposition is made to an Affiliate of such Investor, (B) if the sale, transfer, assignment or
disposition is made pursuant to Rule 144 and such Investor provides the Company with evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the proposed transaction satisfies the requirements of
Rule 144, (C) if such Securities are eligible for resale under Rule 144(k) or any successor
provision or (D) if in connection with a bona fide pledge or hypothecation of any Securities under
a margin arrangement with a broker-dealer or other financial institution or the sale of any such
Securities by such broker-dealer or other financial institution following such Investor’s default
under such margin arrangement.
4.8 Disclosure of Non-Public Information. In addition to the Company’s obligations

court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Investor Party
may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other
Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against an Investor, or any of them or their
respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Investor,
with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such
action is based upon a breach of such Investor’s representation, warranties or covenants under the
Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Investor may have with any such
stockholder or any violations by such Investor of state or federal securities laws or any conduct
by such Investor which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If
any action shall be brought against any Investor Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought
pursuant to this Agreement, such Investor Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and
the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing.
Any Investor Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and
participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of such Investor Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been
specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable
period of time following such Investor Party’s written request that it do so, to assume such
defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such
separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and
the position of such Investor Party. The Company will not be liable to any Investor Party under
this Agreement (i) for any settlement by an Investor Party effected without the Company’s prior
written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (ii) to the extent, but
only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to such Investor Party’s
wrongful actions or omissions, or gross negligence or to such Investor Party’s breach of any of the
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Investor in this Agreement or in
the other Transaction Documents.

day following each fiscal quarter following the Closing Date (or, if such fiscal quarter is the
27
Company’s fourth fiscal quarter, then on or prior to the 45th day following such fiscal
quarter), deliver to each Investor a certificate certified by the Chief Financial Officer of the
Company certifying (i) that on the last Business Day of each calendar month during such fiscal
quarter, the aggregate amount of Eligible Accounts of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries
equaled or exceeded $1,100,000, and (ii) the actual amount of Eligible Accounts of the Company and
the Company Subsidiaries as of the last day of such fiscal quarter.
4.13 Disposition of Property. During the period beginning on the Execution Date and
ending on the Termination Date, the Company will not, and will not permit any Company Subsidiary
to, (i) dispose in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions all or any part of
its Property unless (x) such disposition is in the ordinary course of business and for fair market
value, and (y) such Property is not material to the Company’s or any Company Subsidiary’s business,
operations or financial condition or performance or (ii) sell, assign or otherwise transfer any
equity interest in any Company Subsidiary to a Person other than the Company or another Company
Subsidiary.

Subsidiary to effectuate a Subsequent Placement of any kind whatsoever.
(b) If the Company effectuates a Subsequent Placement, the Company shall, concurrently with

Where: | X | = | the amount of each type of security to be issued to such Investor | |||||
A | = | the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock for which such Investor’s Warrant is then exercisable by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to giving effect to the contemplated Subsequent Placement | ||||||
B | = | the total amount of such type of security to be issued to the participants of such Subsequent Placement (excluding the amount of such security to be issued to the Investors hereunder) |
28

Placement pursuant to which the Company issued to the participants of such Subsequent Placement a
total of 200 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase a total of 100 shares of Common Stock,
and prior to such issuance, the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding was 1,000

is then exercisable for a total of 20 shares of Common Stock:
Common Stock
Warrants
(c) Any securities that are issued to an Investor as a result of a Subsequent Placement under
Section 4.14(b) above shall have the same terms and conditions, mutatis mutandis, granted to the

or entity will continue to generate such positive cash flow during the twelve-month period
immediately following such acquisition.

6.2 No Reliance. Each party acknowledges that (i) it has such knowledge in business
and financial matters as to be fully capable of evaluating this Agreement, the other Transaction
Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, (ii) it is not relying on any
advice or representation of any other party in connection with entering into this Agreement, the
other Transaction Documents or such transactions (other than the representations made in this

herewith or therewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby
irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it
is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or
proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding
is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to
process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof 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

this Agreement. An Investor may assign its rights and obligations hereunder in connection with any
private sale or transfer of the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof and of the other
Transaction Documents, as long as, as a condition precedent to such transfer, the transferee
executes an acknowledgment agreeing to be bound by the applicable provisions of this Agreement, in
