(q) Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized
financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and
customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged. The Company has
no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its and the Subsidiaries’ 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 on terms consistent with market for the Company’s and
such Subsidiaries’ respective lines of business.
(r) 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 the employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or

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.
(s) Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system
of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions
are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and
to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with
management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is
compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with
respect to any differences. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Exchange Act rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) for the Company and designed such
disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company,
including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those
entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s Form 10-KSB or 10-QSB, as the case
may be, is being prepared. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of
the Company’s controls and procedures as of the last day of the period covered by the Form 10-QSB
for the Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The
Company presented in its most recently filed Form 10-KSB or Form 10-QSB the conclusions of the
certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on
their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date.
Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal
controls (as described in Item 308(c) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) or, to the
Company’s knowledge, without inquiry, in other factors that could significantly affect the
Company’s internal controls.
(t) Solvency. Based on the financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date
(and assuming that the Closing shall have occurred), (i) the Company’s fair saleable value of its
assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in
respect of
-10-
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 debts 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 debts).
(u) Certain Fees. Except as described in Schedule 3.1(u), 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 this Agreement. The Investors shall have no obligation with respect
to any fees or with respect to any claims (other than such fees or commissions owed by an Investor
pursuant to written agreements executed by such Investor which fees or commissions shall be the
sole responsibility of such Investor) 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
this Agreement.
(v) Certain Registration Matters. Assuming the accuracy of the Investors’
representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2(b)-(e), no registration under the
Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares by the
Company to the Investors under the Transaction Documents. The Company is eligible to register the
resale of its Common Stock by the Investors on Form SB-2 promulgated under the Securities Act.
Except as specified in Schedule 3.1(v), the Company has not granted or agreed to grant to
any Person any rights (including “piggy-back” registration rights) to have any securities of the
Company registered with the Commission or any other governmental authority that have not been
satisfied or exercised.
(w) Listing and Maintenance Requirements. Except as specified in the SEC Reports, the
Company has not, in the two years preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading
Market to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance
requirements thereof. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not
in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with the listing and maintenance
requirements for continued listing of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which the Common
Stock is currently listed or quoted. The issuance and sale of the Securities under the Transaction
Documents (including the issuance of Additional Shares) does not contravene the rules and
regulations of the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is currently listed or quoted, and no
approval of the shareholders of the Company thereunder is required for the Company to issue and
deliver to the Investors the Securities contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
-11-
(x) Investment Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and
immediately following the Closing will not have become, an “investment company” within the meaning
of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(y) Application of Takeover Protections. The Company has 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 Articles of Incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its
state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Investors or shareholders of the
Company prior to the Closing Date as a result of the Investors and the Company fulfilling their
obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without
limitation the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Investors’ ownership of the Securities.
(z) No Additional Agreements. The Company does not have any agreement or
understanding with any Investor with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents other than as specified in the Transaction Documents.
(aa) Disclosure. The Company confirms that neither it nor any Person acting on its
behalf has provided any Investor or its respective agents or counsel with any information that the
Company believes constitutes material, non-public information except insofar as the existence and
terms of the proposed transactions hereunder may constitute such information. The Company
understands and confirms that the Investors will rely on the foregoing representations and
covenants in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. Except as corrected by a
subsequent disclosure prior to the date hereof made in the SEC Reports, all disclosure provided to
the Investors regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby,
furnished by or on behalf of the Company are true and correct and do 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.
(bb) Currently Intended Accounting for Transaction. The Company intends to account
for the net proceeds raised from the financing which is the subject of this Agreement as equity in
its consolidated financial statements.
3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Investors. Each Investor hereby, for itself
and for no other Investor, represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) Organization; Authority. If applicable, such Investor is an entity duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization with the requisite corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and to
consummate the transactions contemplated by the applicable Transaction Documents and otherwise to
carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by such Investor of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
or, if such Investor is not a corporation, such partnership, limited liability
-12-
company or other
applicable like action, on the part of such Investor. Each of this Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement has been duly executed by such Investor, and when delivered by such Investor in
accordance with terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such
Investor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar
laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by
other equitable principles of general application.
(b) Investment Intent. Such Investor is acquiring the Securities as principal for its
own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling
such Securities or any part thereof, without prejudice, however, to such Investor’s right at all
times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Securities in compliance with
applicable Federal and state securities laws. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence,

sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such
additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort
or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the
investment. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such
Investor or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Investor’s right to
rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Disclosure Materials and the Company’s
representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents.
(f) Certain Trading Activities. Such Investor has not directly or indirectly, nor has
any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Investor, engaged in any

4.1 (a) Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and Federal securities
laws. In connection with any transfer of the Securities other than pursuant to an effective
registration statement, to the Company, to an Affiliate of an Investor or in connection with a
pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide
to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which
opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not
require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act.
(b) Certificates evidencing the Securities will contain the following legend, until such time
as they are not required under Section 4.1(c):
[NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THESE
SECURITIES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED] [THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED] WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN
RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED
(THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT
TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN
AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH
EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.
[THESE SECURITIES AND THE
-14-
SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THESE SECURITIES]
[THESE SECURITIES] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT
SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that an Investor may from time to time pledge, and/or
grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement
in connection with a bona fide margin account and, if required under the terms of such agreement or
account, such Investor may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured
parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval or consent of the Company and
no legal opinion of legal counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in
connection with the pledge, but such legal opinion may be required in connection with a subsequent
transfer following default by the Investor transferee of the pledge. No notice shall be required
of such pledge. At the appropriate Investor’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such
reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in
connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities including the preparation and filing of any
required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or other applicable
provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling shareholders thereunder.
(c) Certificates evidencing the Shares and Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend
(including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b)): (i) following a sale of such Securities
pursuant to an effective registration statement (including the Registration Statement), (ii)
following a sale of such Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is
not an Affiliate of the Company), or (iii) while such Shares or Warrant Shares are eligible for
sale under Rule 144(k). If an Investor makes a sale or transfer of Shares or Warrant Shares either
(x) pursuant to Rule 144 or (y) pursuant to a registration statement and in each case shall have
delivered to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent the certificate representing Shares or
Warrant Shares containing a restrictive legend which are the subject of such sale or transfer and a
representation letter in customary form (the date of such sale or transfer and Share or Warrant
Share delivery being the “Share Delivery Date”) and (1) the Company shall fail to deliver or cause
to be delivered to such Investor a certificate representing such Shares or Warrant Shares that is
free from all restrictive or other legends by the third Trading Day following the Share Delivery
Date and (2) following such third Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date and prior to the time
such Shares or Warrant Shares are received free from restrictive legends, the
Investor, or any third party on behalf of such Investor, purchases (in an open market transaction
or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of such
Shares or Warrant Shares (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Investor (for
costs incurred either directly by such Investor or on behalf of a third party) the amount by which
the total purchase price paid for Common Stock as a result of the Buy-In (including brokerage
commissions, if any) exceed the proceeds received by such Investor as a result of the sale to which
such Buy-In relates. The Investor shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts
payable to the Investor in respect of the Buy-In.
-15-
4.2 Furnishing of Information. As long as any Investor owns the Securities, the
Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the
applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof
pursuant to the Exchange Act. As long as any Investor owns Securities, if the Company is not
required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to the Investors and
make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the
Investors to sell the Shares and Warrant Shares under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that
it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, all to the
extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell the Shares and Warrant Shares
without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by
Rule 144.
4.3 Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its best efforts to ensure that
no Affiliate of the Company shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise
negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be
integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration
under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Investors, or that would be
integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of
any Trading Market in a manner that would require shareholder approval of the sale of the
Securities to the Investors.
4.4 Subsequent Registrations. Other than pursuant to the Registration Statement,
prior to the Effective Date, the Company may not file any registration statement (other than on
Form S-8 or amendments to previously filed registration statements) with the Commission with
respect to any securities of the Company.
4.5 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. By 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on the
Trading Day following the execution of this Agreement, and by 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on the
Trading Day following the Closing Date, the Company shall issue press releases in a form approved
by the Investors disclosing the transactions contemplated hereby and the Closing. On the Trading
Day following the execution of this Agreement, the Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K
disclosing the material terms of the Transaction Documents (and attach as exhibits thereto the
Transaction Documents), and on the Trading Day following the Closing Date the Company will file an
additional Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose the Closing. In addition, the Company will make
such other filings and notices in the manner and time required by the Commission and the Trading
Market on which the Common Stock is listed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any
Investor, or include the name of any Investor in any filing with the Commission (other than the
Registration Statement and any exhibits to filings made in respect of this transaction in
accordance with periodic filing requirements under the Exchange Act) or any regulatory agency or
Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Investor, except to the extent such
disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations.

4.6 Additional Shares. In the event that during the Anti-Dilution Testing Period (as
defined below), the Company proposes to engage in a transaction that, by giving effect to this
Section 4.6, would require the Company to issue Additional Shares (as defined below), the Company
agrees that it will not engage in any such transaction unless it first receives pre-approval to
give effect to this Section 4.6 from the Company’s shareholders at a duly held regular or special
meeting thereof held in accordance with the Rules of the American Stock Exchange. Accordingly, the
Investors acknowledge and agree that this Section 4.6 will only apply to a transaction for which
the Company’s shareholders have so given their pre-approval.
(a) If, prior to the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date (such one-year period being the
“Anti-Dilution Testing Period”), the Company issues (or agrees to issue) any shares of Common Stock
or if the Company or any Subsidiary issues (or agrees to issue) any Common Stock Equivalents
entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Threshold
Price (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent so issued shall at any time
during the Anti-Dilution Testing Period, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset
provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants,
options or rights issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common
Stock at a price less than the Threshold Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for
less than the Threshold Price), then, with each such issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents for a purchase price that is less than the Threshold Price, the Company shall
immediately issue additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) to each Investor for
no additional consideration. The number of Additional Shares issuable to each Investor will equal
the number of shares of Common Stock that such Investor’s Investment Amount would have purchased at
the Adjusted Per Share Purchase Price (as defined below) minus the number of shares of Common Stock
issued to such Investor pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(i) herein. The “Adjusted Per Share Purchase
Price” shall equal:
PSPP x [(N+v)/(N+n)]
where:
PSPP = the Per Share Purchase Price.
N = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to the issuance of such shares of Common Stock or such Common
Stock Equivalents.
prior to the issuance of such shares of Common Stock or such Common
Stock Equivalents.
v = the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
consideration receivable by the Company (determined in accordance
with subsection (c) below) would purchase at the Per Share Purchase
Price.
consideration receivable by the Company (determined in accordance
with subsection (c) below) would purchase at the Per Share Purchase
Price.
n = the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with
such subsequent issuance.
such subsequent issuance.
-17-
The Company shall notify the Investors in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the
issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent subject to this section, indicating therein
the applicable issuance price. The Additional Shares shall be entitled to the registration and
other rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement and any Additional Shares not
registered for resale shall also be afforded general piggyback registration rights (until such time
as the affected Investor can resell its Additional Shares pursuant to Rule 144(k)) such that such
Additional Shares may be included in any registration statement (other than on Form S-8) filed by
the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no issuances of Additional Shares will be made under
this Section as a result of: (i) the issuance of Warrant Shares, (ii) to the extent consistent
with past practice, the grant of options or warrants, or the issuance of additional securities,
under any duly authorized Company stock option, restricted stock plan or stock purchase plan
whether now existing or approved by the Company and its shareholders in the future (but not as to
any amendments or other modifications to the number of Common Stock issuable thereunder, the terms
set forth therein, or the exercise price set forth therein, unless such amendments or other
modifications are approved by the Company’s shareholders), (iii) the issuance and sale by the
Company of shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued as consideration for the
acquisition of another company or business (including the grant of up to 100,000 options or
warrants to officers, employees and directors in connection with such an acquisition) if no
executive officer, director or 10% beneficial shareholder of the Company is an executive officer,
director or 10% beneficial shareholder of such other company or business, and if the acquisition
has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, (iv) the issuance of up to 200,000
shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to a financial institution or leasing company
primarily in connection with any debt or lease financing transaction or the establishment or
maintenance of any line of credit (other than equity lines or similar transactions) or (v) the
issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents upon the exercise, conversion or exchange
of Options or Convertible Securities (as those terms are defined in subsection (c)(i) below)
outstanding on the date hereof. If during the Anti-Dilution Testing Period, the Company enters
into any understanding or agreement to issue or sell securities that would, if such issuance or
sale were to occur during the Anti-Dilution Testing Period, trigger an obligation to issue
Additional Shares, then notwithstanding the fact that such actual issuance of Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents occurs after the Anti-Dilution Testing Period, such issuance will obligate
the Company to issue Additional Shares under this Section.
(b) Certain Limitations.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of Additional Shares
that may be acquired at any given time by an Investor pursuant to this Section shall be limited to
the extent necessary to insure that, following such issuance, the total number of shares of Common
Stock then beneficially owned by such Investor and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose
beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 4.9% of the total number of issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the issuance of Additional Shares). For such
purposes, beneficial ownership shall be
-18-
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder. By written notice to the Company, an Investor may waive the provisions of
this Section 4.6(b) as to itself but any such waiver will not be effective until the
61st day after delivery thereof and such waiver shall have no effect on any other
Investor.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of Additional
Shares that may be acquired by an Investor pursuant to this Section shall be limited to the extent
necessary to insure that, following such issuance, the total number of shares of Common Stock then
beneficially owned by such Investor and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial
ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act, does not exceed 9.9% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock (including for such purpose the issuance of Additional Shares). For such purposes,
beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. This restriction may not be waived.
(iii) The Company and each Investor agree that, if and to the extent Sections 4.6(b)(i)-(ii)
would restrict the ability of an Investor to receive any Additional Shares, then notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall deliver those Additional Shares as may
be acquired by such Investor in accordance with Sections 4.6(b)(i)-(ii). An Investor will promptly
notify the Company in writing if the issuance of Additional Shares would be restricted by Sections
4.6(b)(i)-(ii), specifying therein the Additional Shares so restricted. Such Investor shall
deliver a notice to the Company when it is able to acquire any remaining Additional Shares not
previously deliverable to such Investor due to the applicability of Sections 4.6(b)(i)-(ii),
however, such notice shall not take effect until the 61st day following delivery
thereof.
(c) For purposes of this Section 4.6, the following subsections (c)(i) to (c)(vi) shall also
be applicable:
(i) Issuance of Rights or Options. If at any time the Company shall in any manner
grant (directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any warrants or other rights to
subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Common Stock or any stock or
security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such warrants, rights or options being
called “Options” and such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being called “Convertible
Securities”) whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible
Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable
upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities
(determined by dividing (i) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration) of
(x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the
granting of such Options, plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the
Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (z), in the case of such Options which relate
to Convertible Securities, the aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon
the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and
-19-
upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such
Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options) shall be less than the Threshold
Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Options, then the total
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or
exchange of the total amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such
Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such price per share as of the date of granting of
such Options or the issuance of such Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be
outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Per Share Purchase Price. Except as otherwise provided
in subsection 4.6(c)(iii), no adjustment of the Per Share Purchase Price shall be made upon the
actual issue of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options
or upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities.
(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company shall in any manner issue
(directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) or sell any Convertible Securities,
whether or not the rights to exchange or convert any such Convertible Securities are immediately
exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or
exchange (determined by dividing (i) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable
consideration) of (x) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for
the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the
total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such
Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Threshold Price in effect immediately prior to the
time of such issue or sale, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued for
such price per share as of the date of the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and
thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of calculating the Per Share Purchase
Price, provided that (a) except as otherwise provided in subsection 4.6(c)(iii), no adjustment of
the Per Share Purchase Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (b) no further adjustment of the Per
Share Purchase Price shall be made by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon
exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the
Per Share Purchase Price have been made pursuant to the other provisions of subsection 4.6(c).
(iii) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. Upon the happening of any of the
following events, namely, if the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in
subsection 4.6(c)(i) hereof, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or
exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in subsections 4.6(c)(i) or 4.6(c)(ii), or the
rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in subsections 4.6(c)(i) or 4.6(c)(ii) are
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time (including, but not
limited to, changes under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Per
Share Purchase Price in effect at the time of such event shall forthwith
-20-
be readjusted to the Per Share Purchase Price which would have been in effect at such time had
such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price,
additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted,
issued or sold. On the termination of any Option for which any adjustment was made pursuant to
this subsection 4.6(c) or any right to convert or exchange Convertible Securities for which any
adjustment was made pursuant to this subsection 4.6(c) (including without limitation upon the
redemption or purchase for consideration of such Convertible Securities by the Company), the Per
Share Purchase Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be changed to the Per Share Purchase
Price which would have been in effect at the time of such termination had such Option or
Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such termination, never been
issued.
(iv) Stock Dividends. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.6(c), if the
Company shall declare a dividend or make any other distribution upon any stock of the Company
(other than the Common Stock) payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then any
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issuable in payment of such
dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued or sold without consideration.
(v) Consideration for Stock. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities shall be issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to
be the net amount received by the Company therefor, after deduction therefrom of any expenses
incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in
connection therewith. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be
issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash
received by the Company shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration as determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, after deduction of any expenses incurred or
any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection therewith.
If any Options shall be issued in connection with the issue and sale of other securities of the
Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is
allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed to have been issued
for such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. If
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold by the Company and, in
connection therewith, other Options or Convertible Securities (the “Additional Rights”) are issued,
then the consideration received or deemed to be received by the Company shall be reduced by the
fair market value of the Additional Rights (as determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model or another method mutually agreed to by the Company and the Investors). The Board of
Directors of the Company shall respond promptly, in writing, to an inquiry by the Investors as to
the fair market value of the Additional Rights. In the event that the Board of Directors of the
Company and the Investors are unable to agree upon the fair market value of the Additional Rights,
the Company and the Investors shall jointly select an appraiser, who is experienced in such
matters. The decision of such appraiser shall be final and conclusive, and the cost of such
appraiser shall be borne evenly by the Company and the Investors.
-21-
(vi) Record Date. If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common
Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the
issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration
of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right
of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
4.7 Limitation on Issuance of Future Priced Securities. During the six months
following the Closing Date, the Company shall not issue any “Future Priced Securities” as such term
is described by NASD IM-4350-1.
4.8 Indemnification of Investors. In addition to the indemnity provided in the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold the Investors and their
directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees and agents (each, an “Investor Party”)
harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs
and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation (collectively, “Losses”) that any such Investor Party
may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of
any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company in any Transaction
Document. In addition to the indemnity contained herein, the Company will reimburse each Investor
Party for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation,
preparation and travel in connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses
are incurred.
4.9 Non-Public Information. The Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any
other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Investor or its agents or counsel with any
information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior
thereto such Investor shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use
of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Investor shall be relying on
the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
4.10 Listing of Securities. The Company agrees, (i) if the Company applies to have
the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will include in such application the Shares
and Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary or desirable to cause the
Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible, and
(ii) it will take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common
Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting,
filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market.
4.11 Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the net proceeds from the sale of the
Securities hereunder for working capital purposes and not for the satisfaction of any portion of
the Company’s debt (other than payment of trade payables and accrued expenses in the ordinary
-22-
course of the Company’s business and consistent with prior practices), or to redeem any Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents.
5.1 Conditions Precedent to the Obligations of the Investors to Purchase Securities.

or waiver by such Investor, at or before such Closing, of each of the following conditions:

6.4 Amendments; Waivers; No Additional Consideration. No provision of this Agreement
may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Company and the Investors
holding a majority of the Shares. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision,
condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future
or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement
hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any
manner impair the exercise of any such right. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any
Investor to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any Transaction
Document unless the same consideration is also offered to all Investors who then hold Shares.
6.5 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated prior to Closing:
(a) by written agreement of the Investors and the Company;
(b) by the Company or an Investor (as to itself but no other Investor) upon written notice to
the other, if the Closing shall not have taken place by 6:30 p.m. Eastern time on the Outside Date;
provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 6.5(b) shall not be
available to any Person whose failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement has been
the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such time; or
(c) by an Investor (as to itself but no other Investor) if it concludes in good faith that any
of the conditions precedent contained in Section 5.1(c), (d) or (e) shall have been breached or
shall not be capable of being satisfied by the Outside Date despite the assumed best efforts of the
Company.
-25-
In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section, the Company shall promptly notify all
non-terminating Investors. Upon a termination in accordance with this Section 6.5, the Company and
the terminating Investor(s) shall not have any further obligation or liability (including as
arising from such termination) to the other and no Investor will have any liability to any other
Investor under the Transaction Documents as a result therefrom.
6.6 Construction. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a
part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
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.
This Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or
burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any
provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.
6.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this
Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Investors. Any Investor may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to
whom such Investor assigns or transfers any Securities, provided such transferee agrees in writing
to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions hereof that apply to the
“Investors.”
6.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of,
nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in
Section 4.7 (as to each Investor Party).
6.9 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement
and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance
with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of
law thereof. Each party agrees that all Actions concerning the interpretations, enforcement and
defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents
(whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, employees or agents) shall be
commenced exclusively in the New York Courts. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in
connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with
respect to the enforcement of the any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives,
and agrees not to assert in any Action, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any such New York Court, or that such Action has been commenced in an improper or
inconvenient forum. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and
consents to process being served in any such Action by mailing a copy thereof via registered or
certified mail or 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
-26-
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. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in
any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby. If either party shall commence an Action to enforce any provisions of a Transaction
Document, then the prevailing party in such Action shall be reimbursed by the other party for its
reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation,
preparation and prosecution of such Action.
6.10 Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained
herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.
6.11 Execution. 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, 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 signature page were an original thereof.
6.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions
of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt
to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon
so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
6.13 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever
any Investor exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the
Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then
such Investor may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice
to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to
its future actions and rights.
6.14 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any
Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued
in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution
therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable
indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such
circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such
replacement Securities. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is
requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated
certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.
-27-
6.15 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein
or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Investors and the Company will be
entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary
damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of
obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for
specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
6.16 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to
any Investor pursuant to any Transaction Document or an Investor enforces or exercises its rights
thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any
part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside,
recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the
Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any
bankruptcy law, state or Federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent
of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such
enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
6.17 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.
6.18 Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Company acknowledges and agrees that the liability of an Investor arising directly or indirectly,
under any Transaction Document of any and every nature whatsoever shall be satisfied solely out of
the assets of such Investor, and that no trustee, officer, other investment vehicle or any other
-28-
Affiliate of such Investor or any investor, shareholder or holder of shares of beneficial
interest of such a Investor shall be personally liable for any liabilities of such Investor.
