course of its business. Such Buyer does not
-2-
presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to
distribute any of the Securities. Such Buyer is not a broker-dealer registered with the SEC under
the 1934 Act or an entity engaged in a business that would require it to be so registered as a
broker-dealer.
(b) Accredited Investor Status. At the time such Buyer was offered the Securities,
it was, and at the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises any Warrants, it will
be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(5), (a)(6), (a)(7) or
(a)(8) under the 1933 Act.
(c) Reliance on Exemptions. Such Buyer understands that the Securities are being
offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of
United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and
accuracy of, and such Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the
availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Buyer to acquire the Securities.
(d) Information. Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all
materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating
to the offer and sale of the Securities that have been requested by such Buyer. Such Buyer and its
advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such
inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if
any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer’s right to rely on the
Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. Such Buyer understands that its
investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and is able to afford a complete loss
of such investment. Such Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has
considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the
Securities. Such Buyer has not relied on any information or advice furnished by or on behalf of
the Agent (as defined below) or by counsel to the Company in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby.
(e) No Governmental Review. Such Buyer understands that no United States federal or
state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any
recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in
the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Securities.
(f) Transfer or Resale. Such Buyer understands that except as provided in the
Registration Rights Agreement: (i) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under
the 1933 Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or
transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) such Buyer shall have delivered to
the Company an opinion of counsel, in form, scope and substance reasonably acceptable to the
Company, to the effect that such Securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold,
assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (C) such Buyer provides
the Company with reasonable assurance that such Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred
pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the 1933 Act, as amended, (or a successor rule
thereto) (collectively, “Rule 144”); (ii) any sale of the Securities made in
-3-
reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if
Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities under circumstances in which the seller
(or the Person (as defined in Section 3(q)) through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an
underwriter (as that term is defined in the 0000 Xxx) may require compliance with some other
exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither
the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the 1933
Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption
thereunder. The Securities may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other
loan or financing arrangement secured by the Securities and such pledge of Securities shall not be
deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Buyer effecting a
pledge of Securities shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise
make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as
defined in Section 3(b)), including, without limitation, this Section 2(f).

3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.
The Company represents and warrants to each of the Buyers that, except as set forth in its SEC
Documents:
(a) Organization and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized and
validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated,
and has the requisite corporate power and authorization to own its properties and to carry on its
business as now being conducted. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do
business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the
nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent
that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any material
adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, operations, results of operations, condition
(financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company, taken as a whole, or on the transactions
contemplated hereby and the other Transaction Documents or by the agreements and instruments to be

an equity or similar interest and (ii) which has operations and material assets).
(b) Authorization; Enforcement; Validity. The Company has the requisite corporate
power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Other
Securities Purchase Agreements, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions (as defined in Section 5), the Warrants and each of the other agreements entered into
by the parties hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
Other Securities Purchase Agreements (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) and to issue the
Securities in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. The execution and delivery of the
Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the issuance of the Common Shares
and the Warrants and the reservation for issuance and the issuance of the Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise of the Warrant have been duly authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors and no
further filing, consent or authorization is required by the Company, its Board of Directors or its
stockholders. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents have been duly executed and
delivered by the Company, and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company,
enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the
enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.
(c) Issuance of Securities. The Common Shares and the Warrants are duly authorized
and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be validly issued and free
from all preemptive or similar rights, taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof
and the Common Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable with the holders being entitled to all
rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock. As of the Closing, a number of shares of Common Stock
shall have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance which equals or exceeds 100% of the
aggregate of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.
Upon exercise in accordance with the Warrants, the Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights, taxes, liens and charges
with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a
holder of Common Stock. Assuming the accuracy of each of the representations and warranties set
forth in Section 2 of this Agreement, the offer and issuance by the Company of the Securities is
exempt from registration under the 1933 Act.
(d) 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 (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Common Shares and Warrants
and reservation for issuance and issuance of the Warrant Shares) will not (i) result in a violation
of the certificate of incorporation, or bylaws of the Company or (ii) conflict with, or constitute
a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) in any
respect under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation
of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company is a party, or (iii) result in a
violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including foreign, federal and
state securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations
-7-
of The NASDAQ Capital Market (the “Principal Market”) applicable to the Company or by which
any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, except for any such violation set forth
in clauses (ii) or (iii) above as could not reasonably be expected to result in Material Adverse
Effect.
(e) Consents. The Company is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or
order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court, governmental agency or any regulatory

the terms hereof or thereof other than such as have been made or obtained, and except for the
registration of the Securities under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement,
the filing of Form D, any filings required to be made under state securities laws, and any required
filings or notifications regarding the issuance or listing of additional securities with the
Principal Market. The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that might prevent
the Company from obtaining or effecting any of the registration, application or filings pursuant to
the preceding sentence. The Company is not in violation of the listing requirements of the
Principal Market and has no knowledge of any facts that would reasonably lead to delisting or
suspension of the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. As used herein, “knowledge” shall mean
actual knowledge of the executive officers (as defined in Rule 405 under the 0000 Xxx) of the
Company after due inquiry.
(f) Acknowledgment Regarding Buyer’s Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges

respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that
no Buyer is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity)
with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and
any advice given by a Buyer or any of its representatives or agents in connection with the
Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to
such Buyer’s purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each Buyer that the
Company’s decision to enter into the Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent
evaluation by the Company and its representatives.
(g) No General Solicitation; Placement Agent’s Fees. Neither the Company, nor any of
its affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general

agent’s fees, financial advisory fees, or brokers’ commissions (other than for persons engaged by
any Buyer or its investment advisor) relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated
hereby. The Company acknowledges that it has engaged Xxxxxxxxx & Company, Inc. as placement agent
(the “Agent”) in connection with the sale of the Securities. Other than the Agent, the Company has
not engaged any placement agent or other agent in connection with the sale of the Securities.
(h) No Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Buyers’ representations and
warranties set forth in Section 2 hereof, none of the Company, any of their affiliates, and any
Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or
-8-
sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that
would require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act, whether
through integration with prior offerings or otherwise, or cause this offering of the Securities to
require approval of stockholders of the Company for purposes of any applicable stockholder approval
provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any exchange or
automated quotation system on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.
None of the Company, their affiliates and any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or
steps referred to in the preceding sentence that would require registration of the issuance of any
of the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with
other offerings for purposes of any such applicable stockholder approval provisions.
(i) Application of Takeover Protections; Rights Agreement. The Company and its board
of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control
share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights
agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Certificate of Incorporation (as
defined in Section 3(p)) or the laws of the State of Delaware which is or could become applicable
to any Buyer as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without
limitation, the Company’s issuance of the Securities and any Buyer’s ownership of the Securities.
The Company and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render
inapplicable any stockholder rights plan or similar arrangement relating to accumulations of
beneficial ownership of Common Stock or a change in control of the Company.

documents incorporated by reference therein being hereinafter referred to as the “SEC Documents”).
The Company has delivered to the Buyers or their respective representatives true, correct and
complete copies of the SEC Documents not available on the XXXXX system, if any. As of their
respective filing dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements
of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the
SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained
any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. As of their respective filing dates, the financial
statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material
respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC
with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as
may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case
of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or
summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the
Company as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods
then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal
-9-
year-end audit adjustments). No other information provided by or on behalf of the Company to
the Buyers which is not included in the SEC Documents, including, without limitation, information
referred to in Section 2(d) of this Agreement or in any disclosure schedules, contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstance under which they are or were made not
misleading.

June 30, 2006, the Company has not declared or paid any dividends. The Company has not taken any
steps to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy law nor does the Company have any knowledge or
reason to believe that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any

violation of any judgment, decree or order or any statute, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable
to the Company, and the Company will not conduct its business in violation of any of the foregoing,
except for possible violations which could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company is not in violation of any of the rules, regulations or requirements of the Principal
Market and has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that would reasonably lead to delisting
or suspension of the Common Stock by the Principal Market in the foreseeable future. Since October

Principal Market, (ii) trading in the Common Stock has not been suspended by the SEC or the

foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits,

conduct its business as conducted on the date of this Agreement, except for such Intellectual
Property Rights, the inability to use would not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge
of the Company, no product or service of the Company infringes the Intellectual Property Rights of

claim, action or proceeding being made or brought, or to the knowledge of the Company, being

transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations, codes, decrees,
demands or demand letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders,

assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns,
reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith and (iii) has set aside on its

each Buyer or its respective nominee(s), for the Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from
time to time by each Buyer to the Company upon exercise of the Warrants in the form of Exhibit

warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in
this Section 5, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(f) hereof, will be given
by the Company to its transfer agent with respect to the Securities, and that the Securities shall
otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent
provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. If a Buyer effects a sale,
assignment or transfer of the Securities in accordance with Section 2(f), the Company shall permit
the transfer and shall promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates or
credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as
specified by such Buyer to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. In the event that such sale,
assignment or transfer involves Warrant Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an
effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144, the transfer agent shall issue such
Securities to the Buyer, assignee or transferee, as the case may be, without any restrictive
legend.
(c) Breach. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder
will cause irreparable harm to a Buyer. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at
law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5 will be inadequate and agrees, in the
event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 5, that a
Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction
restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of
showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
(d) Additional Relief. If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to
issue to such holder unlegended certificates within three (3) Business Days of (x) receipt of
documents necessary for the removal of legend set forth above or (y) the date of its obligation to
deliver the shares of Common Stock as contemplated pursuant to clause (ii) below (the “Deadline
Date”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the holder, if on or after the Trading
Day (as defined in the Warrants) immediately following such three Business Day period, the holder
purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the holder of shares of Common Stock that the holder anticipated
receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In"), then the Company shall, within three Business Days after
the holder’s request and in the holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the holder in an amount
equal to the holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares
of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price"), at which point the Company’s obligation to
deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii)
promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the holder a certificate or certificates representing
such shares of Common Stock and pay cash to the holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of
the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the
Closing Bid Price on the Deadline Date. “Closing Bid Price” means, for any security as of any
date, the last closing price for such security on The NASDAQ Capital Market (the “Principal
Market”), as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the Principal Market

the last bid price of such security prior to 4:00:00 p.m., New York Time, as reported by Bloomberg,
or, if the Principal Market is not the principal securities exchange or trading market for such
security, the last closing price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading
market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg, or if the foregoing do not
apply, the last closing price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic
bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no closing bid price is reported
for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such
security as reported in the “pink sheets” by Pink Sheets LLC (formerly the National Quotation
Bureau, Inc.). If the Closing Bid Price cannot be calculated for a security on a particular date
on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Bid Price of such security on such date shall be the
fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the holder. If the Company and the
holder are unable to agree upon the fair market value of such security, then such dispute shall be
resolved pursuant to Section 13 of the Warrants. All such determinations to be appropriately
adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during
the applicable calculation period.

party’s failure to waive such unsatisfied condition(s)), the nonbreaching party shall have the
option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such breaching party at the close of business on
such date without liability of any party to any other party.
9. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the
construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the
internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of
law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would
cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each
party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder
or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and
hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or
proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding
is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to
process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party
at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall
constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL
FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
(b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical
counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
-22-
effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party;
provided that a facsimile signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the
signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a
facsimile signature.
(c) Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and
shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.
(d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity
or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
(e) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the Company, their
affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and
this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein and therein
contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and
therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Buyer
makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. No
provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the
Company and the holders of Common Shares representing at least a majority of the amount of the
Common Shares, or, if prior to the Closing Date, the Buyers listed on the Schedule of Buyers as
being obligated to purchase at least a majority of the amount of the Common Shares. No provision
hereof may be waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom
enforcement is sought. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less
than all of the holders of the Common Shares then outstanding. No consideration shall be offered
or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of
the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to
the Transaction Documents, holders of Common Shares or holders of the Warrants, as the case may be.
The Company has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with any Buyers relating to the
terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set
forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company confirms that,
except as set forth in this Agreement, no Buyer has made any commitment or promise or has any other
obligation to provide any financing to the Company or otherwise.
(f) Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or
permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to
have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by
facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and

courier service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same. The addresses

(g) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any purchasers of the
Common Shares or the Warrants. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the holders of at least a majority of
the aggregate number of Registrable Securities issued and issuable hereunder, including by way of a
Fundamental Transaction. A Buyer may assign some or all of its rights hereunder without the
consent of the Company, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be a Buyer hereunder with
respect to such assigned rights. A merger or sale of the Company shall not be deemed to be an
assignment for the purposes of this section.
(h) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit
of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except that the Agent may rely
upon the representations and warranties contained in Section 2 hereof.
(i) Survival. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 8, the
representations and warranties of the Company and the Buyers in Sections 2 and 3 shall survive the
Closing until the eighteen-month anniversary of the Closing Date (except for the representations
and warranties of the Company made pursuant to Section 3(c), which shall survive indefinitely), and
the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 4, 5 and 9 shall survive the Closing until the
expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. Each Buyer shall be responsible
only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.
(j) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and
performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other
agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in
order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby.
(k) Indemnification. In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the
Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the
Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect,
indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer and each other holder of the Securities and all of their
stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors
and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation,
those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively,
the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses,
costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective
of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is
sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified
Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any
misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the
Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or
thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the
Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or
-25-
document contemplated hereby or thereby or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or
made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action
brought on behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery,
performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or
document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole
or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, or (iii)
the status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities as an investor in the Company. To the extent
that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company
shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified
Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the
mechanics and procedures with respect to the rights and obligations under this Section 9(k) shall
be the same as those set forth in Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement.
(l) No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be
the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict
construction will be applied against any party.
(m) Remedies. Each Buyer and each holder of the Securities shall have all rights and
remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have
been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such
holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement
shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security),
to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all
other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it fails
to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents,
any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Buyers. The Company therefore agrees
that the Buyers shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such
case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.
(n) Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to
the Buyers hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or the Buyers enforce or
exercise their rights hereunder or 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, foreign, 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.
(o) Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each
Buyer under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other
Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any
other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other
-26-
Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be
deemed to constitute the Buyers as, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other
kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers 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 Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights,
including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other
Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an
additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
(p) Publicity. The Company agrees that it will not use in advertising or publicity the
names of the Purchaser, Fidelity Management & Research Company, any of its partners or employees,
any of the funds or accounts managed by it or any of its affiliates, or any trade name, trademark,
trade device, service xxxx, symbol or any abbreviation, contraction or simulation thereof, in any
case without the prior written consent of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
(q) Limitation of Liability. A copy of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of each
Purchaser is on file with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and notice
is hereby given that this Agreement is executed on behalf of the Trustees of each Purchaser as
Trustees and not individually and that the obligations of this Agreement are not binding upon any
of the Trustees, officers or stockholders of the Purchaser individually but are binding only upon
the assets and property of such Purchaser. The Company is expressly put on notice that the rights
and obligations of each series of shares of each Purchaser under its Declaration of Trust are
separate and distinct from those of any and all other entities.
