COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT this (“Agreement”), dated as of March 22, 2006 by and between FiberNet Telecom Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the purchasers listed on Exhibit A hereto (each a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”), for the purchase and sale of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) by the Purchasers.

The parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Purchase and Sale of Common Stock and Warrants

Section 1.1 Purchase and Sale of Common Stock and Warrants.

(a) Upon the following terms and conditions, the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers shall purchase from the Company, an aggregate of 1,050,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) at a price per share of $2.10 (the “Per Share Purchase Price”) for an aggregate purchase price of $2,205,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Company and the Purchasers are executing and delivering this Agreement in accordance with and in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act”), including Regulation D (“Regulation D”), and/or upon such other exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act as may be available with respect to any or all of the investments to be made hereunder.

(b) Upon the following terms and conditions, the Purchasers shall be issued Warrants, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Warrants”), to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A hereto. The Warrants shall have an exercise price equal to $2.64 per share and shall be exercisable on the date that is six months and one day following the Closing Date. Any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (and such shares when issued) are herein referred to as the “Warrant Shares”. The Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Securities”.

Section 1.2 Purchase Price and Closing.

The Company agrees to issue and sell to the Purchasers and, in consideration of and in express reliance upon the representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchasers, severally but not jointly, agree to purchase the number of Shares and Warrants, in each case, set forth opposite their respective names on Exhibit A. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Shares and Warrants to be acquired by the Purchasers from the Company under this Agreement shall take place at the offices of the Company (the “Closing”) at 10:00 a.m., New York time (i) on or before March 24, 2006 or (ii) at such other time and place or on such date as the Purchasers and the Company may agree upon (the “Closing Date”), provided, that in each such case, all of the conditions set forth in Article IV hereof and applicable to the

Closing shall have been fulfilled or waived in accordance herewith. At the Closing, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to each Purchaser (i) a certificate registered in the name of the Purchaser representing the number of Shares that such Purchaser is purchasing pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) a Warrant to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as is set forth opposite the name of such Purchaser on Exhibit A and (iii) any other deliveries as required by Article IV. At the Closing, each Purchaser shall deliver its Purchase Price by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company.

Section 1.3 Anti-Dilution Protection.

(a) Except for the issuance of Additional Shares (as defined in Section 1.3(d)), for the fourteen-month period immediately following the Closing Date the Company covenants and agrees that it shall not enter into any Subsequent Financing (as defined below) at a price per share or conversion price less than the Per Share Purchase Price unless it has received (i) Stockholder Approval (as defined in Section 1.3(e)) in accordance with Section 1.3(e) or (ii) the prior written consent of the Qualified Purchasers (as defined in Section 1.3(d)) holding at least a majority of all Shares then held by the Qualified Purchasers. For purposes hereof, a “Subsequent Financing” means any offer or sale to, or exchange with (or other type of distribution to) any third party, of Common Stock or any securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock, including convertible debt securities.

(b) Notwithstanding the terms and provisions of Section 1.3(a) to the contrary, if during the fourteen-month period immediately following the Closing Date, the Company sells Additional Shares (as defined below) in a Subsequent Financing (the “Dilutive Issuance”) at a price per share less than the Per Share Purchase Price (the “Share Anti-Dilution Price”), then the Company shall promptly offer to sell to each Qualified Purchaser a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “New Shares”) equal to:

(i) the product of (x) the number of Shares owned by such Qualified Purchaser on the closing date of the Dilutive Issuance and (y) the quotient obtained by dividing the Per Share Purchase Price by the Share Anti-Dilution Price, minus

(ii) the number of Shares owned by such Qualified Purchaser on the closing date of the Dilutive Issuance.

(c) The purchase price for each New Share will be $0.001. The number of New Shares issued to each Qualified Purchaser pursuant to this Section 1.3 will be rounded down to the nearest whole share, and no fractional shares will be issued. The Company shall give each Qualified Purchaser prompt notice of any event that requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.3 in accordance with Section 7.4.

(d) As used herein, the term “Qualified Purchaser” means any Purchaser that owns not less than 25% of the Shares that it purchased on the Closing Date. As used herein, the term “Additional Shares” means all shares of Common Stock issued by the Company, except: (1) shares of Common Stock to be issued to strategic partners and/or in connection with a strategic merger or acquisition; (2) shares of Common Stock or the issuance of options to purchase shares of Common Stock to employees, officers, directors, consultants and vendors in accordance with

the Company’s equity incentive plan; (3) the issuance of securities pursuant to a bona fide firm underwritten public offering of the Company’s securities; (4) the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities issued or outstanding on or prior to the date hereof; (5) up to an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Common Stock (as may be adjusted for any stock splits or combinations of the Common Stock) to be issued to settle pending and threatened litigation against the Company; (6) up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of Common Stock (as may be adjusted for any stock splits or combinations of the Common Stock) to be issued in satisfaction of the Company’s outstanding liabilities, including, but not limited to, currently existing obligations under the Company’s real estate leases; and (7) equity securities to be issued upon the conversion of debt securities of the Company at a conversion price above the Per Share Purchase Price.

(e) If the Company is prohibited by Rule 4350(i) of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”), or any successor or similar rule, or the rules or regulations of any other securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded, from issuing a number of New Shares pursuant to this Section 1.3 in excess of a prescribed amount (the “Cap Amount”) without stockholder approval or otherwise, then the Company shall not issue New Shares in excess of the Cap Amount. Assuming solely for purposes of this paragraph that such Rule 4350(i) or similar rule is applicable, the Cap Amount shall be 19.99% of the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date. The Cap Amount shall be allocated pro rata to the Qualified Purchasers. If the Company is prohibited from issuing New Shares as a result of the operation of this paragraph, then the Company shall call a meeting of its stockholders to be held as promptly as practicable for the purpose of obtaining the approval of the Company’s stockholders pursuant to Rule 4350(i) or similar rule (“Stockholder Approval”). The Company shall, upon filing the applicable proxy statement with the SEC, (i) recommend to its stockholders approval of such matters sufficient to obtain Stockholder Approval, (ii) use its best efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of such matters, and (iii) vote such proxies, and use its best efforts to cause all “affiliates” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Company to vote any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such persons or entities (or cause such shares to be voted), in favor of such matters.

ARTICLE II

Representations and Warranties

Section 2.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company.

The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers as follows, as of the date hereof and the Closing Date, except as set forth on the Schedule of Exceptions attached hereto with each numbered Schedule corresponding to the section number herein:

(a) Organization, Good Standing and Power. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business as it is now being conducted. The Company does not have any Subsidiaries (as defined in Section 2.1(g)) or own securities of any kind in any other entity except as set forth

on Schedule 2.1(g) hereto. The Company and each such Subsidiary (as defined in Section 2.1(g)) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary except for any jurisdiction(s) (alone or in the aggregate) in which the failure to be so qualified will not have a Material Adverse Effect. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any effect on the business, operations, properties, prospects or financial condition of the Company that is material and adverse to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and any condition, circumstance or situation that would prohibit the Company from entering into and performing any of its obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (as defined below).

(b) Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, the Warrants and that certain Registration Rights Agreement by and among the Company and the Purchasers, dated as of the date hereof, substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Registration Rights Agreement” and, together with this Agreement and the Warrants, the “Transaction Documents”) and to issue and sell the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and, except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(b), no further consent or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors or stockholders is required. When executed and delivered by the Company, each of the Transaction Documents shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

(c) Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company as of the date of this Agreement consists of 2,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 5,256,900 were issued and outstanding as of January 31, 2006, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share, of which none were issued and outstanding as of January 31, 2006. All of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock and any other outstanding security of the Company have been duly and validly authorized. Except as set forth in this Agreement and as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto, no shares of Common Stock or any other security of the Company are entitled to preemptive rights or registration rights and there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, call or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, any shares of capital stock of the Company. Furthermore, except as set forth in this Agreement and as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto, there are no contracts, commitments, understandings, or arrangements by which the Company is or may become bound to issue additional shares of the capital stock of the Company or options, securities or rights convertible into shares of capital stock of the Company. Except for customary transfer restrictions contained in agreements entered into by the Company in order to sell restricted securities or as provided on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto, the Company is not a party to or bound by any agreement or understanding granting registration or anti-dilution rights to any person with respect to any of its equity or debt securities. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c),

the Company is not a party to, and it has no knowledge of, any agreement or understanding restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital stock of the Company.

(d) Issuance of Securities. The Shares and the Warrants to be issued at the Closing have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and, when paid for and issued in accordance with the terms hereof and the Warrants, respectively, the Shares and the Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and rights of refusal of any kind and the holders shall be entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock.

(e) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not (i) violate any provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”) or Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), each as amended to date, or any Subsidiary’s comparable charter documents, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries’ respective properties or assets are bound, or (iii) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are bound or affected, except, in all cases, other than violations pursuant to clauses (i) or (iii) (with respect to federal and state securities laws) above, except, for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries is not being conducted in violation of any laws, ordinances or regulations of any governmental entity, except for possible violations, which singularly or in the aggregate do not and will not have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is required under federal, state, foreign or local law, rule or regulation to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or issue and sell the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof (other than any filings, consents and approvals which may be required to be made by the Company under applicable state and federal securities laws, rules or regulations, the Nasdaq Capital Market prior to or subsequent to the Closing, or any registration provisions provided in the Registration Rights Agreement).

As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the Commission Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the Commission or other applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto.

All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and nonassessable. There are no outstanding preemptive, conversion or other rights, options, warrants or agreements granted or issued by or binding upon any Subsidiary for the purchase or acquisition of any shares of capital stock of any Subsidiary or any other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the rights to subscribe for any shares of such capital stock. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is subject to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase or otherwise acquire or retire any shares of the capital stock of any Subsidiary or any convertible securities, rights, warrants or options of the type described in the preceding sentence except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(g) hereto. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is party to, nor has any knowledge of, any agreement restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital stock of any Subsidiary.

Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(m) hereto, there is no action, suit, claim, investigation, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution proceeding or other proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against or involving the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties or assets, which individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no outstanding orders, judgments, injunctions, awards or decrees of any court, arbitrator or governmental or regulatory body against the Company or any Subsidiary or any officers or directors of the Company or Subsidiary in their capacities as such, which individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(n) Compliance with Law. The business of the Company and the Subsidiaries has been and is presently being conducted in accordance with all applicable federal, state and

local governmental laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, except as set forth in the Commission Documents or on Schedule 2.1(n) hereto or such that, individually or in the aggregate, the noncompliance therewith could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have all franchises, permits, licenses, consents and other governmental or regulatory authorizations and approvals necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted by it unless the failure to possess such franchises, permits, licenses, consents and other governmental or regulatory authorizations and approvals, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(p) Certain Fees. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(p) hereto, the Company has not employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any brokerage or investment banking fees, commissions, finders’ structuring fees, financial advisory fees or other similar fees in connection with the Transaction Documents.

(q) Disclosure. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, neither this Agreement or the Schedules hereto nor any other documents, certificates or instruments furnished to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made herein or therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made herein or therein, not misleading.

(s) Environmental Compliance. Except as disclosed on Schedule 2.1(s) hereto, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all material approvals, authorization, certificates, consents, licenses, orders and permits or other similar authorizations of all governmental authorities, or from any other person, that are required under any Environmental Laws. “Environmental Laws” shall mean all applicable laws relating to the

protection of the environment including, without limitation, all requirements pertaining to reporting, licensing, permitting, controlling, investigating or remediating emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, chemical substances, pollutants, contaminants or toxic substances, materials or wastes, whether solid, liquid or gaseous in nature, into the air, surface water, groundwater or land, or relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of hazardous substances, chemical substances, pollutants, contaminants or toxic substances, material or wastes, whether solid, liquid or gaseous in nature.

The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient, in the judgment of the Company’s board of directors, to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate actions are taken with respect to any differences.

(aa) Public Utility Holding Company Act and Investment Company Act Status. The Company is not a “holding company” or a “public utility company” as such terms are defined in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended. The Company is not, and as a result of and immediately upon the Closing will not be, an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(bb) ERISA. No liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation has been incurred with respect to any Plan by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which is or would be materially adverse to the Company and its Subsidiaries. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Shares and the Warrants will not involve any transaction which is subject to the prohibitions of Section 406 of ERISA or in connection with which a tax could be imposed pursuant to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, provided that, if any of the Purchasers, or any person or entity that owns a beneficial interest in any of the Purchasers, is an “employee pension benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA) with respect to which the Company is a “party in interest” (within the meaning of Section 3(14) of ERISA), the requirements of Sections 407(d)(5) and 408(e) of ERISA, if applicable, are met. As used in this Section 2.1(cc), the term “Plan” shall mean an “employee pension benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3 of ERISA) which is or has been established or maintained, or to which contributions are or have been made, by the Company or any Subsidiary or by any trade or business, whether or not incorporated, which, together with the Company or any Subsidiary, is under common control, as described in Section 414(b) or (c) of the Code.

(cc) Delisting Notification. The Company has not received notice (written or oral) from the Nasdaq Capital Market to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such market.

(dd) Independent Nature of Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that the obligations of each Purchaser under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under the Transaction Documents. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by

such Purchaser independently of any other purchase and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or of its Subsidiaries which may have made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Purchaser (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. The Company further acknowledges that nothing contained herein, or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers 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 Purchaser 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 Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. For reasons of administrative convenience only, the Transaction Documents have been prepared by counsel for the placement agent. Such counsel does not represent the Purchasers and the Purchasers have retained their own individual counsel with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that such procedure with respect to the Transaction Documents in no way creates a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(ee) No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company from selling the Securities pursuant to Regulation D and Rule 506 thereof under the Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder approval provisions, nor will the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings if such other offering, if integrated, would cause the offer and sale of the Securities not to be exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation D and Rule 506 thereof under the Securities Act. The Company does not have any registration statement pending before the Commission or currently under the Commission’s review and except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(ee) hereto, since September 1, 2005, the Company has not offered or sold any of its equity securities or debt securities convertible into shares of Common Stock.

(ff) Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. The Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 (the “Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, that are effective and intends to comply with other applicable provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, upon the effectiveness of such provisions.

Section 2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers.

Each of the Purchasers hereby represents and warrants to the Company with respect solely to itself and not with respect to any other Purchaser as follows as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date:

(a) Organization and Standing of the Purchasers. If the Purchaser is an entity, such Purchaser is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization.

(b) Authorization and Power. Each Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform the Transaction Documents and to purchase the Securities being sold to it hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by each Purchaser and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or partnership action, and no further consent or authorization of such Purchaser or its Board of Directors, stockholders, or partners, as the case may be, is required. When executed and delivered by the Purchasers, the other Transaction Documents shall constitute valid and binding obligations of each Purchaser enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

(c) No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Purchaser and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated thereby and hereby do not and will not (i) violate any provision of the Purchaser’s charter or organizational documents, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser’s respective properties or assets are bound, or (iii) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Purchaser or by which any property or asset of the Purchaser are bound or affected, except, in all cases, other than violations pursuant to clauses (i) or (iii) (with respect to federal and state securities laws) above, except, for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the Purchaser’s ability to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

(d) Acquisition for Investment. Each Purchaser is purchasing the Shares and Warrants solely for its own account for the purpose of investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with distribution. Each Purchaser does not have a present intention to sell any of the Shares or Warrants, nor a present arrangement (whether or not legally binding) or intention to effect any distribution of any of the Shares or Warrants to or through any person or entity; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Purchaser does not agree to hold the Shares or the Warrants for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Shares or the Warrants at any time in accordance with Federal and state

securities laws applicable to such disposition. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it (i) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of Purchaser’s investment in the Company, (ii) is able to bear the financial risks associated with an investment in the Securities and (iii) has been given full access to such records of the Company and the Subsidiaries and to the officers of the Company and the Subsidiaries as it has deemed necessary or appropriate to conduct its due diligence investigation.

(e) Rule 144. Each Purchaser understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless such Shares are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available. Each Purchaser acknowledges that such person is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations of the Commission, as amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and that such Purchaser has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain circumstances. Each Purchaser understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is not available, such Purchaser will be unable to sell any Securities without either registration under the Securities Act or the existence of another exemption from such registration requirement.

(f) General. Each Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirements of federal and state securities laws and the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of such Purchaser to acquire the Securities. Each Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities.

(g) No General Solicitation. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities were not offered to such Purchaser by means of any form of general or public solicitation or general advertising, or publicly disseminated advertisements or sales literature, including (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media, or broadcast over television or radio, or (ii) any seminar or meeting to which such Purchaser was invited by any of the foregoing means of communications.

(h) Accredited Investor. Each Purchaser is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), and such Purchaser has such experience in business and financial matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities. Such Purchaser is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act and such Purchaser is not a broker-dealer. Each Purchaser acknowledges that an investment in the Securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Each Purchaser has completed or caused to be completed the Investor Questionnaire Certification attached hereto as Exhibit D certifying as to its status as an “accredited investor” and understands that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the Purchaser set forth therein to determine the suitability of such Purchaser to acquire the Securities.

(i) Certain Fees. The Purchasers have not employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any brokerage or investment banking fees, commissions, finders’

structuring fees, financial advisory fees or other similar fees in connection with the Transaction Documents.

(j) Independent Investment. Except as may be disclosed in any filings with the Commission by the Purchasers under Section 13 and/or Section 16 of the Exchange Act, no Purchaser has agreed to act with any other Purchaser for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of the Securities purchased hereunder for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act, and each Purchaser is acting independently with respect to its investment in the Securities.

(k) Patriot Act. If the Purchaser is an individual, the Purchaser certifies that he or she is not nor to his or her knowledge has been designated, a “suspected terrorist” as defined in Executive Order 13224. If the Purchaser is a corporation, trust, partnership, limited liability company or other organization, the Purchaser certifies that, to the best of Purchaser’s knowledge, the Purchaser has not been designated, and is not owned or controlled, by a “suspected terrorist” as defined in Executive Order 13224. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the Company seeks to comply with all applicable laws concerning money laundering and related activities. In furtherance of those efforts, the Purchaser hereby represents, warrants and agrees that to its knowledge: (i) none of the cash or property that the Purchaser will pay or will contribute to the Company has been or shall be derived from, or related to, any activity that is deemed criminal under United States law; and (ii) no contribution or payment by the Purchaser to the Company, to the extent that they are within the Purchaser’s control shall cause the Company to be in violation of the United States Bank Secrecy Act, the United States International Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 or the United States International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001. The Purchaser shall promptly notify the Company if any of these representations ceases to be true and accurate regarding the Purchaser. If the Company reasonably believes that the Purchaser has breached the foregoing representations, then the Purchaser agrees to provide the Company any additional information regarding the Purchaser that the Company deems necessary to ensure compliance with all applicable laws concerning money laundering and similar activities. In the event that the Company is requested or required (by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar legal, judiciary or regulatory process or as otherwise required by applicable law or regulation) to disclose any confidential information about a Purchaser, the Company shall (A) provide the Purchaser with prompt prior written notice of such request or requirement and (B) cooperate with the Purchaser so that the Purchaser may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Company and their respective representatives shall disclose only that portion of the confidential information that such person is advised by legal counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed, and provided that the Company uses reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded any confidential information so disclosed.

In the case of any proposed transfer under this Section 5.1, the Company will use reasonable efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the Company. The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 5.1 shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Agreement. Whenever a certificate representing the Shares or Warrant Shares is required to be issued to a Purchaser without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Shares or Warrant Shares, provided the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Shares or Warrant Shares to a Purchaser by crediting the account of such Purchaser’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Agreement).

ARTICLE VI

Indemnification

Section 6.1 General Indemnity.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser (and its respective directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) (“Losses”) incurred by each Purchaser as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company herein. The Purchasers severally but not jointly agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all Losses incurred by the Company as result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Purchasers herein.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Purchasers shall be entitled to any indemnification under this Article VI unless and until all Losses of the Company or the Purchasers, as applicable, in the aggregate, are in excess of $50,000 and the Company, or the Purchasers, as applicable, shall then only be liable for Losses in excess of such amount. The maximum aggregate liability of the Company pursuant to its indemnification obligations under this Article VI shall not exceed the aggregate Purchase Price received hereunder, and the maximum aggregate liability of each Purchaser pursuant to its indemnification obligations shall not exceed the portion of the Purchase Price paid by such Purchaser hereunder.

Section 6.2 Indemnification Procedure.

Any party entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an “indemnified party”) will give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the indemnifying party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnified party exists with respect to such action, proceeding or claim (in which case the indemnifying party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified parties), to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will not contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified party’s costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the indemnified party which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification required by this Article VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the indemnified party irrevocably agrees to refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

ARTICLE VII

FORM OF OPINION

1. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is qualified to transact business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in New York, New Jersey and California and there are no other jurisdictions in which the properties and assets owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary.

2. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents and to issue the Shares and the Warrants. The execution, delivery and performance of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no further consent or authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors is required. Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly executed and delivered and each of the Transaction Documents constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its respective terms. The Shares are not subject to any preemptive rights under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws.

3. The Shares and the Warrants have been duly authorized and, the Shares, when delivered against payment in full as provided in the Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance and, when delivered against payment in full as provided in the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

4. The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with the terms of the Transaction Documents and the issuance of the Shares and the Warrants do not (a) violate any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, each as amended to date, (b) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any Material Agreement to which the Company is a party and which is known to us, (c) create or impose a lien, charge or encumbrance on any property of the Company under any Material Agreement known to us to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or by which any of its respective properties or assets are bound, or (d) result in a violation of any federal or state statute, rule or regulation (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, except, in all cases other than violations pursuant to clause (a) above, for such conflicts, default, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

5. No consent, approval or authorization of or designation, declaration or filing with any governmental authority on the part of the Company is required under any federal or state law, rule or regulation in connection with the valid execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents, or the offer, sale or issuance of the Shares and the

Warrants other than filings as may be required by applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.

6. To our knowledge, there is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding pending or threatened against the Company which questions the validity of the Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or to be taken pursuant thereto. Other than as set forth on Schedule 2.1(m) of the Agreement, to our knowledge, there is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding pending, or to our knowledge, threatened, against or involving the Company or any of its properties or assets and which, if adversely determined, is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Other than as set forth on Schedule 2.1(m) of the Agreement, to our knowledge, there are no outstanding orders, judgments, injunctions, awards or decrees of any court, arbitrator or governmental or regulatory body against the Company or any officers or directors of the Company in their capacities as such.

7. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchasers set forth in Section 2.2 of the Agreement, the offer, issuance and sale of the Shares and the Warrants in the manner contemplated by the Agreement are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, it being expressly understood that we do not express any opinion as to any subsequent reoffer or resale of the Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares.
