(as defined for purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “1934
Act”)). The Company further acknowledges that no Buyer is acting as a
financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (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

Company and its representatives.

of the Company under 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. Except for the transactions contemplated in the securities purchase
agreement, dated February 11, 2010, between the Company and the Buyers (the

Effect. The
Company understands and acknowledges that the number of Warrant Shares may
increase in certain circumstances. The Company further acknowledges that its
obligation to issue the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants in

effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other
stockholders of the Company.

Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company’s issuance of the
Securities and any Buyer’s ownership of the Securities. The Company and its

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

system. As of their respective 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

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 dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the
SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable

and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended
(subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit
adjustments which will not be material, either individually or in the
aggregate). No other information provided by or on behalf of the Company to the
Buyers which is not included in the SEC Documents contains any untrue statement

unable to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or
otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured or (iii)

business or in any transaction, for which the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s
remaining assets constitute unreasonably small capital.

Liabilities, Developments or Circumstances. No
event, liability, development or circumstance has occurred or exists, or is
reasonably expected to exist or occur with respect to the Company, any of its
Subsidiaries or their respective business, properties, liabilities, prospects,
operations (including results thereof) or condition (financial or otherwise)

securities laws on a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC

duly authorized and have been, or upon issuance will be, validly issued and are
fully paid and nonassessable. 8,515,060 shares of the Company’s issued and
outstanding Common Stock on the date hereof are owned by Persons who are
“affiliates” (as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act and calculated based on the
assumption that only officers, directors and holders of at least 10% of the
Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock are “affiliates” without conceding
that any such Persons are “affiliates” for purposes of federal securities laws)
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. To the Company’s knowledge, except as
set forth in the SEC Documents, no Person owns 10% or more of the Company’s
issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (calculated based on the
assumption that all Convertible Securities (as defined below), whether or not
presently exercisable or convertible, have been fully exercised or
converted (as the case may be) taking account of any limitations on
exercise or conversion (including “blockers”) contained therein without
conceding that such identified Person is a 10% stockholder for purposes of
federal securities laws). (i) None of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s capital
stock is subject to preemptive rights or any other similar rights or any liens
or encumbrances suffered or permitted by the Company or any Subsidiary; (ii)
except pursuant to the Fourth Amended and Restated 1998 Director Stock Plan of
the Company and the Third Amended and Restated 1998 Stock Incentive Plan of the
Company that are each disclosed in the SEC Documents (collectively, the “Company Stock Plans”) and except for
warrants previously issued to the Buyers pursuant to the Prior Purchase
Agreement, there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to
subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or
securities or rights convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, any
capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or contracts,
commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries is or may become bound to issue additional capital stock of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or options, warrants, scrip, rights to
subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or
securities or rights convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, any
capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (iii) there are no

securing obligations in any amounts filed in connection with the Company or any

Prior Agreement); (vi) there are no outstanding securities or instruments of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries which contain any redemption or similar
provisions, and there are no contracts, commitments, understandings or
arrangements by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or may become
bound to redeem a security of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (vii)
there are no securities or instruments containing anti-dilution or similar
provisions that will be triggered by the issuance of the Securities; (viii)
neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any stock appreciation rights or
“phantom stock” plans or agreements or any similar plan or agreement other than
the Company Stock Plans; and (ix) neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries have any liabilities or obligations required to be disclosed in the
SEC Documents which are not so disclosed in the SEC Documents, other than those
incurred in the ordinary course of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ respective
businesses and which, individually or in the aggregate, do not or could not have
a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has furnished to the Buyers true, correct
and complete copies of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended
and as in effect on the date hereof (the “Articles of Incorporation”), and the
Company’s
bylaws, as amended and as in effect on the date hereof (the “Bylaws”), and the terms of all
securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, shares of
Common Stock and the material rights of the holders thereof in respect
thereto.

the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) except as disclosed in the SEC
Documents, has any outstanding Indebtedness (as defined below), (ii) is a party
to any contract, agreement or instrument, the violation of which, or default
under which, by the other party(ies) to such contract, agreement or instrument
could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) is in
violation of any term of, or in default under, any contract, agreement or
instrument relating to any Indebtedness, except where such violations and
defaults would not result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material
Adverse Effect, or (iv) is a party to any contract, agreement or instrument

means, without duplication (A) all indebtedness for borrowed money, (B) all

or payment obligations with respect to letters of credit, surety bonds and other
similar instruments, (D) all obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures
or similar instruments, including obligations so evidenced incurred in
connection with the acquisition of property, assets or businesses, (E) all
indebtedness created or arising under any conditional sale or other title
retention agreement, or incurred as financing, in either case with respect to
any property or assets acquired with the proceeds of such indebtedness (even
though the rights and remedies of the seller or bank under such agreement in the
event of default are limited to repossession or sale of such property), (F) all
monetary obligations under any leasing or similar arrangement which, in
connection with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied
for the periods covered thereby, is classified as a capital lease, (G) all
indebtedness referred to in clauses (A) through (F) above secured by (or for
which the holder of such Indebtedness has an existing right, contingent or
otherwise, to be secured by) any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security
interest or other encumbrance upon or in any property or assets (including
accounts and contract rights) owned by any Person, even though the Person which
owns such assets or property has not assumed or become liable for the payment of
such indebtedness, and (H) all Contingent Obligations in respect of indebtedness
or obligations of others of the kinds referred to in clauses (A) through (G)
above; (y) “Contingent
Obligation” means, as to any Person, any direct or indirect liability,
contingent or otherwise, of that Person with respect to any indebtedness, lease,
dividend or other obligation of another Person if the primary purpose or intent
of the Person incurring such liability, or the primary effect thereof, is to
provide assurance to the obligee of such liability that such liability will be
paid or discharged, or that any agreements relating thereto will be complied
with, or that the holders of such liability will be protected (in whole or in
part) against loss with respect thereto; and (z) “Person” means an individual, a
limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a
trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity and a government or any
department or agency thereof.
(t) Absence of
Litigation. Except
as disclosed in the SEC Documents, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry
or investigation before or by the Principal Market, any court, public board,
government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge
of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, the Common Stock or any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’
officers or directors which is outside of the ordinary course of business or
individually or in the aggregate material to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is
not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the SEC involving the Company,
any of its Subsidiaries or any current of former director or officer of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The SEC has not issued any stop order or
other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by
the Company under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, including, without limitation,
the Registration Statement.
11
(u) Insurance. The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized
financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as
management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses
in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor
any such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied
for, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe
that it will be unable to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such
coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be
necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material
Adverse Effect.
(v) Employee
Relations. Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining
agreement or employs any member of a union. The Company believes that its and
its Subsidiaries’ relations with their respective employees are
good. No executive officer (as defined in Rule 501(f) promulgated
under the 0000 Xxx) or other key employee of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries has notified the Company or any such Subsidiary that such officer
intends to leave the Company or any such Subsidiary or otherwise terminate such
officer’s employment with the Company or any such Subsidiary. No executive
officer or other key employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is, or
is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment
contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement,
non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive
covenant, and the continued employment of each such executive officer or other
key employee (as the case may be) does not subject the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing
matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all
federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor,
employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of
employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would
not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect.
(w) Title. The
Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all
real property, and have good and marketable title to all personal property,
owned by them which is material to the business of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, in each case, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and
defects except such as do not materially affect the value of such property and
do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by
the Company and any of its Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities held
under lease by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under
valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not
material and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such
property and buildings by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries.
12
(x)
Intellectual Property
Rights. The
Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights or licenses to use
all trademarks, trade names, service marks, service xxxx registrations, service
names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, original works, inventions, licenses,
approvals, governmental authorizations, trade secrets and other intellectual
property rights and all applications and registrations therefor (“Intellectual Property Rights”)
necessary to conduct their respective businesses as now conducted and as
presently proposed to be conducted. None of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’
Intellectual Property Rights have expired, terminated or been abandoned, or are
expected to expire, terminate or be abandoned, within three years from the date
of this Agreement, except where the expiration, termination or abandonment,
either individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has no knowledge of any infringement
by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Intellectual Property Rights of
others. There is no claim, action or proceeding being made or brought, or to the
knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, being threatened, against
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries regarding their Intellectual Property
Rights. The Company is not aware of any facts or circumstances which might give
rise to any of the foregoing infringements or claims, actions or proceedings.
The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures
to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their Intellectual
Property Rights.
(y) Environmental
Laws. The
Company and its Subsidiaries (i) are in compliance with all Environmental Laws
(as defined below), (ii) have received all permits, licenses or other approvals
required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective
businesses and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such
permit, license or approval where, in each of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii)
and (iii), the failure to so comply could be reasonably expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The term
“Environmental Laws”
means all federal, state, local or foreign laws relating to pollution or
protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation,
ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata),
including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases
or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, or toxic or
hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) into the
environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution,
use, treatment, storage, disposal, 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, permits,
plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved
thereunder.
(z)
Subsidiary
Rights. The
Company or one of its Subsidiaries has the unrestricted right to vote, and
(subject to limitations imposed by applicable law) to receive dividends and
distributions on, all capital securities of its Subsidiaries as owned by the
Company or such Subsidiary.
(aa) Tax
Status. The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has timely made or filed all foreign,
federal and state income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations
required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has timely paid all
taxes and other governmental 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 books
provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods
subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply.
There are no unpaid taxes in any material
amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the
officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries know of no basis for any such
claim. The Company is not operated in such a manner as to qualify as a passive
foreign investment company, as defined in Section 1297 of the U.S. Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
13
(bb) Internal Accounting and
Disclosure Controls. The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintains internal control over financial
reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the 0000 Xxx) that is
effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including 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 and liability accountability, (iii)
access to assets or incurrence of liabilities is permitted only in accordance
with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded
accountability for assets and liabilities is compared with the existing assets
and liabilities at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with
respect to any difference. The Company maintains disclosure controls and
procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the 0000 Xxx) that
are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the
Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the
rules and forms of the SEC, including, without limitation, controls and
procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the
Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is
accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its
principal executive officer or officers and its principal financial officer or
officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any
notice or correspondence from any accountant or other Person relating to any
potential material weakness or significant deficiency in any part of the
internal controls over financial reporting of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries.
(cc)
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements. There
is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries and an unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that
is required to be disclosed by the Company in its 1934 Act filings and is not so
disclosed or that otherwise could be reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
(dd) Investment Company
Status. The
Company is not, and upon consummation of the sale of the Securities will not be,
an “investment company,” an affiliate of an “investment company,” a company
controlled by an “investment company” or an “affiliated person” of, or
“promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company” as such terms
are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.
(ee) Acknowledgement Regarding
Buyers’ Trading Activity. It is
understood and acknowledged by the Company that (i) following the public
disclosure of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, in
accordance with the terms thereof, none of the Buyers have been asked by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries to agree, nor has any Buyer agreed with the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to desist from effecting any transactions in
or with respect to (including, without limitation, purchasing or selling, long
and/or short) any securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities based on
securities issued by the Company or to
hold the Securities for any specified term; (ii) any Buyer, and counterparties
in “derivative” transactions to which any such Buyer is a party, directly or
indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the Common Stock which was
established prior to such Buyer’s knowledge of the transactions contemplated by
the Transaction Documents; and (iii) each Buyer shall not be deemed to have any
affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counterparty in any
“derivative” transaction. The Company further understands and acknowledges that
following the public disclosure of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents pursuant to the Press Release (as defined below) one or
more Buyers may engage in hedging and/or trading activities at various times
during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without
limitation, during the periods that the value and/or number of the Warrant
Shares deliverable with respect to the Securities are being determined and (b)
such hedging and/or trading activities, if any, can reduce the value of the
existing stockholders’ equity interest in the Company both at and after the time
the hedging and/or trading activities are being conducted. The Company
acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging and/or trading activities do not
constitute a breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any
of the documents executed in connection herewith or
therewith.
14
(ff) Manipulation of
Price. Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has, and, to the knowledge of the
Company, no Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, (i) taken
any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation
of the price of any security of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to

Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Company and each Subsidiary shall so
certify upon any Buyer’s request.

Eligibility. The Company is eligible to register the issuance and sale of
the Securities to the Buyers using Form S-3 promulgated under the 1933
Act.

any entity that is subject to the BHCA and to regulation by the Federal
Reserve.
15

Rights. No holder of securities of the Company has rights to
the registration of any securities of the Company because of the filing of the
Registration Statement or the issuance of the Securities hereunder that could
expose the Company to material liability or any Buyer to any liability or that

Securities in the manner, and at the times, contemplated hereby, which rights
have not been waived by the holder thereof as of the date hereof.

thereunder or otherwise) that is manufactured, packaged, labeled, tested,
distributed, sold, and/or marketed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
(each such product is referred to herein as a “Product”), such Product is
being manufactured, packaged, labeled, tested, distributed, sold and/or marketed
by the Company or such Subsidiary (as the case may be) in compliance with all
applicable requirements under all applicable laws, rules and regulations
(including, without limitation, laws, rules and regulations relating to
registration, investigational use, pre-market clearance, licensure, or
application approval, good manufacturing practices, good laboratory practices,
good clinical practices, product listing, quotas, labeling, advertising, record
keeping and filing of reports), except where the failure to be in compliance
with any applicable laws, rules and regulations would not have a Material
Adverse Effect. There is no pending, completed or, to the Company’s
knowledge, threatened, action (including, without limitation, any lawsuit,
arbitration, or legal or administrative or regulatory proceeding, charge,
complaint, or investigation) against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and
none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice, warning
letter or other communication from the FDA or any other governmental entity,
including, without limitation, a notice, warning letter or other communication

the marketing, sale, license or use in the United States of any product proposed

expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
16
(oo) Disclosure. The
Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has
provided any of the Buyers or their agents or counsel with any information that
constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute material, non-public
information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than the
existence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents. The Company understands and confirms that each of the
Buyers will rely on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in
securities of the Company. All disclosure provided to the Buyers regarding the
Company and its Subsidiaries, their businesses and the transactions contemplated
hereby, including the schedules to this Agreement, furnished by or on behalf of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is true and correct and does not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each material press
release issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during the twelve (12)
months preceding the date of this Agreement did not at the time of release
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not
misleading. No event or circumstance has occurred or information
exists with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their
business, properties, liabilities, prospects, operations (including results
thereof) or conditions (financial or otherwise), which, under applicable law,
rule or regulation, requires public disclosure at or before the date hereof or
announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly disclosed. The
Company acknowledges and agrees that no Buyer makes or has made any
representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 2.

(subject to official notice of issuance) (but in no event later than the Closing
Date) and shall maintain such listing or designation for quotation (as the case
may be) of all the shares of Common Stock from time to time issuable under the
terms of the Transaction Documents on such national securities exchange or
automated quotation system. The Company shall maintain the Common Stock’s
listing or designation for quotation (as the case may be) on the Principal
Market, The New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE Amex, the Nasdaq Capital Market or
the Nasdaq Global Select Market (each, an
“Eligible Market”).
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action which
could be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the
Common Stock on an Eligible Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses
in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section
4(f).
18
(g) Fees. The
Company shall reimburse Cranshire Capital, L.P. (“Cranshire”) or its designee(s)
for all costs and expenses incurred by it or its affiliates in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (including, without
limitation, all legal fees and disbursements in connection therewith,
documentation and implementation of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents and due diligence and regulatory filings in connection
therewith) in a non-accountable amount equal to $5,000, which amount shall be
withheld by Cranshire from its Purchase Price at the Closing or paid by the
Company upon termination of this Agreement on demand by Cranshire so long as
such termination did not occur as a result of a material breach by Cranshire of
any of its obligations hereunder (as the case may be). The Company shall be
responsible for the payment of any placement agent’s fees, financial advisory
fees, or broker’s commissions (other than for Persons engaged by any Buyer)
relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby (including,
without limitation, any fees payable to the Placement Agent, who is the
Company’s sole placement agent in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement). The Company shall pay, and hold each Buyer harmless against,
any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any claim
relating to any such payment. Except as otherwise set forth in the Transaction
Documents, each party to this Agreement shall bear its own expenses in
connection with the sale of the Securities to the Buyers.
(h) Pledge of
Securities.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the
Company acknowledges and agrees that the Securities may be pledged by a Buyer in
connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing
arrangement that is secured by the Securities. The 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. The Company hereby
agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities
may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Securities to such
pledgee by a Buyer.
(i) Disclosure of Transactions
and Other Material Information. The
Company shall, on or before 9:30 a.m. (but in no event prior to 9:15 a.m.),
New York time, on the date of this Agreement, issue a press release (the “Press Release”) reasonably
acceptable to the Buyers disclosing all the material terms of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. On or before 9:30 a.m. (but in
no event prior to 9:15 a.m.), New York time, on the date of this Agreement, the
Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K describing all the material
terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in the form
required by the 1934 Act and attaching all the material Transaction Documents
(including, without limitation, this Agreement (and all schedules to this
Agreement) and the form of Warrants) (including all attachments, the “8-K Filing”). From and after
the issuance of the Press Release, the Company shall have disclosed all
material, non-public information (if any) delivered to any of the Buyers by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers,
directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents.
The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and
each of its and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, not
to, provide any Buyer with any material, non-public information regarding the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the issuance of the Press
Release without the express prior written consent of such Buyer. In the event of
a breach of any of the foregoing covenants or any of the covenants contained in
Section 4(n) by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of its or their
respective officers, directors, employees and agents (as determined in the
reasonable good faith judgment of such Buyer), in addition to any other remedy
provided herein or in the Transaction Documents, such Buyer shall have the right
to make a public disclosure, in the form of a press release, public
advertisement or otherwise, of such material, non-public information without the
prior approval by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of its or their
respective officers, directors, employees or agents. No Buyer shall have any
liability to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of its or their
respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders or agents, for any such
disclosure. Subject to the foregoing, neither the Company, its Subsidiaries nor
any Buyer shall issue any press releases or any other public statements with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, the Company
shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any Buyer, to make any press
release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions (i) in
substantial conformity with the 8-K Filing and contemporaneously therewith and
(ii) as is required by applicable law and regulations (provided that in the case
of clause (i) each Buyer shall be consulted by the Company in connection with
any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release). Without
the prior written consent of the applicable Buyer, the Company shall not (and
shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and affiliates to not) disclose the name of
such Buyer in any filing (other than in the Transaction Documents filed as
exhibits to the 8-K Filing), announcement, release or
otherwise.
19
(j) Additional Issuance of
Securities. The
Company agrees that for the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on
the date immediately following the thirty (30) Trading Day anniversary of the
Closing Date (provided that such period shall be extended by the number of days
during such period and any extension thereof contemplated by this proviso on
which the Registration Statement is not effective or any prospectus contained
therein is not available for use) (the “Restricted Period”), neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries shall directly or indirectly issue, offer, sell,
grant any option or right to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any
issuance, offer, sale, grant of any option or right to purchase or other
disposition of) any equity security or any equity-linked or related security
(including, without limitation, any “equity security” (as that term is defined
under Rule 405 promulgated under the 1933 Act), any Convertible Securities (as
defined below), any debt, any preferred stock or any purchase rights) (any such
issuance, offer, sale, grant, disposition or announcement (whether occurring
during the Restricted Period or at any time thereafter) is referred to as a
“Subsequent Placement”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the immediately preceding sentence in this
Section 4(j) shall not apply (i) in respect of the issuance of (A) shares of
Common Stock or standard options to purchase Common Stock to directors, officers
or employees of the Company in their capacity as such pursuant to an Approved
Share Plan (as defined below), provided that (1) all such issuances (taking into
account the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such options) after
the date hereof pursuant to this clause (A) do not, in the aggregate, exceed
more than 5% of the Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
date hereof and (2) the exercise price of any such options is not lowered, none
of such options are amended to increase the number of shares issuable thereunder
and none of the terms or conditions of any such options are otherwise materially
changed in any manner that adversely affects any of the Buyers;
(B) shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion or exercise of Convertible
Securities (other than standard options to purchase Common Stock issued pursuant
to an Approved Share Plan that are covered by clause (A) above) issued prior to
the date hereof, provided that the conversion price of any such Convertible
Securities (other than standard options to purchase Common Stock issued pursuant
to an Approved Share Plan that are covered by clause (A) above) is not lowered,
none of such Convertible Securities (other than standard options to purchase
Common Stock issued pursuant to an Approved Share Plan that are covered by
clause (A) above) are amended to increase the number of shares issuable
thereunder and none of the terms or conditions of any such Convertible
Securities (other than standard options to purchase Common Stock issued pursuant
to an Approved Share Plan that are covered by clause (A) above) are otherwise
materially changed in any manner that adversely affects any of the Buyers; (C)
the Common Shares; and (D) the Warrants; and (E) the Warrant Shares (each of the
foregoing in clauses (A) through (E), collectively the “Excluded Securities”) and (ii)
during any time period (but only during the time period) in which (1) during
Regular Trading Hours (as defined below) on a Trading Day, the Bid Price (as
defined in the Warrants) of the Common Stock is greater than or equal to the
Trigger Price or (2) at all times other than during Regular Trading Hours on a
Trading Day, the most recent Closing Sale Price (as defined in the Warrants) of
the Common Stock is greater than or equal to the Trigger Price (as applicable).
“Approved Share Plan”
means any employee benefit plan which has been approved by the board of
directors of the Company prior to or subsequent to the date hereof pursuant to
which shares of Common Stock and standard options to purchase Common Stock may
be issued to any employee, officer or director for services provided to the
Company in their capacity as such. “Convertible Securities” means
any capital stock or other security of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
that is at any time and under any circumstances directly or indirectly
convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or which otherwise entitles
the holder thereof to acquire, any capital stock or other security of the
Company (including, without limitation, Common Stock) or any of its
Subsidiaries. “Trigger
Price” means $2.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock
combinations and other similar transactions occurring after the date hereof).
“Regular Trading Hours”
means “regular trading hours” (as that term is defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of
Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws).
20
(k) Reservation of
Shares. So long
as any of the Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall take all action
necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of
issuance, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
all the Warrants (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the
Warrants set forth therein).
(l)
Conduct of
Business. The
business of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be conducted in violation
of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity, except where
such violations would not result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a
Material Adverse Effect.
(m) Variable Rate
Transaction. Until none of the Warrants are outstanding, the Company and
each Subsidiary shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement
to effect any Subsequent Placement involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction”
means a transaction in which the Company or any Subsidiary (i) issues or sells
any Convertible Securities either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate
or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of, or
quotations for, the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial
issuance of such Convertible Securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or
exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the
initial issuance of such Convertible Securities or upon the occurrence of
specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of
the Company or the market for the Common Stock, other than pursuant to a
customary “weighted average” anti-dilution provision or (ii) enters into any
agreement (including, without limitation, an equity line of credit) whereby the
Company or any Subsidiary may sell securities at a future determined price
(other than standard and customary “preemptive” or “participation” rights). Each
Buyer shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company and its
Subsidiaries to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to
any right to collect damages.
21
(n) Participation Right.
From the date hereof until the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing
Date, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, directly or
indirectly, effect any Subsequent Placement unless the Company shall have first
complied with this Section 4(n). The Company acknowledges and agrees
that the right set forth in this Section 4(n) is a right granted by the Company,
separately, to each Buyer. From the date hereof, Section 4(n) of the Prior
Purchase Agreement will no longer be in effect and this Section 4(n) supersedes
Section 4(n) of the Prior Purchase Agreement.
(i) The
Company shall deliver to such Buyer via facsimile or via e-mail to the e-mail
address provided in writing by such Buyer to the Company an irrevocable written
notice (the “Offer
Notice”) of any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange (the
“Offer”) of the
securities being offered (the “Offered Securities”) in a
Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (w) identify and describe the
Offered Securities, (x) describe the price and other terms upon which they are
to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered
Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, (y) identify the Persons (if known)
to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued, sold or
exchanged and (z) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with such Buyer in
accordance with the terms of the Offer 100% of the Offered Securities, provided
that the number of Offered Securities which such Buyer shall have the right to
subscribe for under this Section 4(n) shall be (a) based on such Buyer’s pro
rata portion of the aggregate number of Common Shares purchased hereunder by all
Buyers (the “Basic
Amount”), and (b) with respect to each Buyer that elects to purchase its
Basic Amount, any additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to
the Basic Amounts of other Buyers as such Buyer shall indicate it will purchase
or acquire should the other Buyers subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts
(the “Undersubscription
Amount”).
22
(ii) To
accept an Offer, in whole or in part, such Buyer must deliver a written notice
to the Company prior to the end of 2 hours and 30 minutes following (1) receipt
via facsimile or via e-mail in accordance with Section 4(n)(i) by such Buyer of
the applicable Offer Notice and (2) oral confirmation via telephone by the
Company from such Buyer of the receipt by such Buyer via facsimile or via e-mail
(as applicable) of such Offer Notice (and (I) in the case of Cranshire, oral
confirmation via telephone by the Company from Xxxxxxxx X. Xxxxx of the receipt
by Cranshire via facsimile or via e-mail (as applicable) of such Offer Notice
and (II) in the case of Kingsbrook Opportunities Master Fund LP (“Kingsbrook”), oral
confirmation via telephone by the Company from Xxx X. Xxxxxx of the receipt by
Kingsbrook via facsimile or via e-mail (as applicable) of such Offer Notice)
(the “Offer Period”),
setting forth the portion of such Buyer’s Basic Amount that such Buyer elects to
purchase and, if such Buyer shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the
Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Buyer elects to purchase (in either
case, the “Notice of
Acceptance”). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Buyers are less
than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then such Buyer who has set forth an
Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to
purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription
Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, if the Undersubscription
Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total of all the Basic
Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the “Available Undersubscription
Amount”), such Buyer who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount
shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available
Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Buyer bears to the total
Basic Amounts of all Buyers that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts,
subject to rounding by the Company to the extent it deems reasonably necessary.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company desires to modify or amend the
terms and conditions of the Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer Period,
the Company may deliver to each Buyer a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period
shall expire immediately following the end of 2 hours and 30 minutes following
(1) receipt via facsimile or via e-mail in accordance with Section 4(n)(i) by
such Buyer of such new Offer Notice and (2) oral confirmation via telephone by
the Company from such Buyer of the receipt by such Buyer via facsimile or via
e-mail (as applicable) of such new Offer Notice (and (I) in the case of
Cranshire, oral confirmation via telephone by the Company from Xxxxxxxx X. Xxxxx
of the receipt by Cranshire via facsimile or via e-mail (as applicable) of such
new Offer Notice and (II) in the case of Kingsbrook, oral confirmation via
telephone by the Company from Xxx X. Xxxxxx of the receipt by Kingsbrook via
facsimile or via e-mail (as applicable) of such new Offer Notice). If any Offer
Notice is delivered in accordance with Section 4(n)(i) during the Restricted
Period at any time during Regular Trading Hours on a Trading Day and either the
(x) Bid Price of the Common Stock at the time of such delivery was not greater
than or equal to the Trigger Price or (y) Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock
on the Trading Day of such delivery is not greater than or equal to the Trigger
Price, then (A) the Subsequent Placement contemplated by such Offer Notice shall
be deemed to have been immediately abandoned, (B) such Buyer shall not be deemed
to be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (C) should the Company decide to pursue
such Subsequent Placement with respect to the Offered Securities, the Company
shall provide such Buyer with another Offer Notice in accordance with, and
subject to, the terms of this Section 4(n) and such Buyer will again have the
right of participation set forth in this Section 4(n). If any Offer Notice is
delivered in accordance with Section 4(n)(i) during the Restricted Period at any
time other than during Regular Trading Hours on a Trading Day and the most
recent Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock was not greater than or equal to
the Trigger Price, then (X) the Subsequent Placement contemplated by such Offer
Notice shall be deemed to have been immediately abandoned, (Y) such Buyer shall
not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information with
respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (Z) should the Company
decide to pursue such Subsequent Placement with respect to the Offered
Securities, the Company shall provide such Buyer with another Offer Notice in
accordance with, and subject to, the terms of this Section 4(n) and such Buyer
will again have the right of participation set forth in this Section
4(n).
23
(iii) The
Company shall have three (3) days from the expiration of the Offer Period above
(i) to offer, issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered Securities
as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by a Buyer (the “Refused Securities”) pursuant
to a definitive agreement(s) (the “Subsequent Placement
Agreement”), but only to the offerees described in the Offer Notice (if
so described therein) and only upon terms and conditions (including, without
limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that are not more favorable to the
acquiring Person or Persons or less favorable to the Company than those set
forth in the Offer Notice and (ii) to publicly announce (a) the execution of
such Subsequent Placement Agreement, and (b) either (x) the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by such Subsequent Placement Agreement or (y) the
termination of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, which shall be filed with
the SEC on a Current Report on Form 8-K with such Subsequent Placement Agreement
and any documents contemplated therein filed as exhibits thereto.
(iv) In
the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities
(any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section
4(n)(iii) above), then such Buyer may, at its sole option and in its sole
discretion, reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in
its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number or
amount of the Offered Securities that such Buyer elected to purchase pursuant to
Section 4(n)(ii) above multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which
shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company actually
proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued
or sold to Buyers pursuant to this Section 4(n) prior to such reduction) and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered
Securities. In the event that any Buyer so elects to reduce the number or amount
of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not
issue, sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered
Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered to the
Buyers in accordance with Section 4(n)(i) above.
(v) Upon
the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the
Refused Securities, such Buyer shall acquire from the Company, and the Company
shall issue to such Buyer, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified
in its Notice of Acceptance. The purchase by such Buyer of any Offered
Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by
the Company and such Buyer of a separate purchase agreement relating to such
Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such Buyer
and its counsel.
(vi) Any
Offered Securities not acquired by a Buyer or other Persons in accordance with
this Section 4(n) may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are again
offered to such Buyer under the procedures specified in this
Agreement.
(vii) The
Company and each Buyer agree that if any Buyer elects to participate in the
Offer, neither the Subsequent Placement Agreement with respect to such Offer nor
any other transaction documents related thereto (collectively, the “Subsequent Placement
Documents”) shall include any term or provision whereby such Buyer shall
be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any securities of the
Company or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or
grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, any agreement
previously entered into with the Company or any instrument received from the
Company.
24
(viii)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
4(n) and unless otherwise agreed to by such Buyer, the Company shall either
confirm in writing to such Buyer that the transaction with respect to the
Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention
to issue the Offered Securities, in either case in such a manner such that such
Buyer will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the
third (3rd) day
following delivery of the Offer Notice. If by such third (3rd)
day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Offered
Securities has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such
transaction has been received by such Buyer, such transaction shall be deemed to
have been abandoned and such Buyer shall not be deemed to be in possession of
any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries. Should the Company decide to pursue such transaction with respect
to the Offered Securities, the Company shall provide such Buyer with another
Offer Notice in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of this Section 4(n)
and such Buyer will again have the right of participation set forth in this
Section 4(n). The Company shall not be permitted to deliver more than two Offer
Notices to such Buyer in any sixty (60) day period, except as expressly
contemplated by the last sentence of Section 4(n)(ii).
(ix) The
restrictions contained in this Section 4(n) shall not apply in connection with
the issuance of (i) any Excluded Securities and (ii) shares of Common Stock or
standard options to purchase Common Stock to directors, officers or employees of
the Company in their capacity as such pursuant to an Approved Share Plan. The
Company shall not circumvent the provisions of this Section 4(n) by providing
terms or conditions to one Buyer that are not provided to all.
(o) Passive Foreign Investment
Company. The Company shall conduct its business in such a manner as will
ensure that the Company will not be deemed to constitute a passive foreign
investment company within the meaning of Section 1297 of the U.S. Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
5.

REGISTER;
TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS;
LEGEND.
|
(a) Register. The
Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office
or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to each holder of
Securities), a register for the Common Shares and the Warrants in which the
Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the Common
Shares and the
Warrants have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee),
the number of Common Shares held by such Person and the number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by such Person. The Company shall
keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for
inspection of any Buyer or its legal representatives.
25
(b) Transfer Agent
Instructions. The
Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to the Transfer Agent in the form
previously provided to the Company (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions”) to issue certificates or credit shares to the applicable
balance accounts at DTC, registered in the name of each Buyer or its respective
nominee(s), for the Common Shares and the Warrant Shares in such amounts as
specified from time to time by each Buyer to the Company upon delivery of the
Common Shares or the exercise of the Warrants (as the case may be). The Company
represents and warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer
Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5(b) will be given by the Company
to the Transfer Agent with respect to the Securities, and that the Securities
shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company.
If a Buyer effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities, the Company
shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct the 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. The Company acknowledges that
a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to each
Buyer. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach
of its obligations under this Section 5(b) will be inadequate and agrees, in the
event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this
Section 5(b), that each 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.
(c) Legends.
Certificates and any other instruments evidencing the Securities shall not bear
any restrictive or other legend.

ten (10) days of the date hereof, then such Buyer shall have the right to
terminate its obligations under this Agreement with respect to itself at any

Buyer to any other party; provided, however, (i) the right to terminate this
Agreement under this Section 7 shall not be available to such Buyer if the

provided further that no such termination shall affect any obligation of the

release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms
and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair
the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its
obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents.

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. In
the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an
e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed
signature page, such signature page 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 signature page were an original
thereof.
(c) Headings;
Gender. The
headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form
part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. Unless the context
clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the
masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms
“including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed
broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms
“herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire
Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.
(d) Severability. If any
provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be
invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision
that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed
amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable,
and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the
validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement
as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original
intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited
nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not
substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of
the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be
conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations
to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid
provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the
prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
28
(e) Entire Agreement;
Amendments. This
Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the schedules and exhibits
attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein
supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the
Company, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf solely with respect
to the matters contained herein and therein, and this Agreement, the other
Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto
and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire
understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters covered herein
and therein; provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document shall (or shall be deemed to), except as expressly set
forth in the third sentence of Section 4(n), (i) have any effect on any
agreements any Buyer has entered into with the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof with respect to any prior investment made
by such Buyer in the Company or (ii) waive, alter, modify or amend in any
respect any obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any rights
of or benefits to any Buyer or any other Person, in any agreement entered into
prior to the date hereof between or among the Company and/or any of its
Subsidiaries and any Buyer and all such agreements shall continue in full force
and effect. 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. For clarification purposes, the
Recitals are part of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be
amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and each of
the Buyers. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by
an authorized representative of the waiving party. 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, all holders
of Common Shares or all 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, any Subsidiary or otherwise.
As a material inducement for each Buyer to enter into this Agreement, the
Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no due diligence
investigation conducted by a Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its
representatives shall affect such Buyer’s right to rely on, or modify or qualify
any of, the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement
or any other Transaction Document, (ii) nothing contained in the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement shall affect such Buyer’s
right to rely on, or modify or qualify any of, the Company’s representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and
(iii) unless a provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document is
expressly preceded by “except as disclosed in the SEC Documents,” nothing
contained in any of the SEC Documents shall affect such Buyer’s right to rely
on, or modify or qualify any of, the Company’s representations and warranties
contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
(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 kept on file by the sending party);
or (iii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service
with next day delivery specified, in each case, properly addressed to the party
to receive the same. The addresses and facsimile numbers for such communications

notice, consent, waiver or other communication, (B) mechanically or

evidence of personal service, receipt by facsimile or receipt from an overnight
courier service in accordance with clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above,
respectively.
(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, as contemplated below, any
assignee of any of the Securities. The Company shall not assign this Agreement
or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each
of the Buyers, including, without limitation, by way of a Fundamental
Transaction (as defined in the Warrants) (unless the Company is in compliance
with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in
the Warrants). A Buyer may assign some or all of its rights hereunder in
connection with any transfer of any of its Securities 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.
30
(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, other than the Indemnitees
referred to in Section 8(k).
(i)
Survival. The
representations, warranties, agreements and covenants shall survive the Closing.
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
.
(i) 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 holder of any
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 any of the Transaction Documents, (b) any breach of any covenant,
agreement or obligation of the Company contained in any of the Transaction
Documents 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 any of the Transaction
Documents, (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,
(iii) any disclosure properly made by such Buyer pursuant to Section 4(i), or
(iv) the status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities as an investor in the
Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
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.
31
(ii) Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 8(k) of notice of the
commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or
proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Section
8(k), deliver to the Company a written notice of the commencement thereof, and
the Company shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the
Company so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel
mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that
an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and
expenses of such counsel to be paid by the Company if: (i) the Company has
agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the Company shall have
failed promptly to assume the defense of such Indemnified Liability and to
employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in any such
Indemnified Liability; or (iii) the named parties to any such Indemnified
Liability (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnitee and the
Company, and such Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict
of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such
Indemnitee and the Company (in which case, if such Indemnitee notifies the
Company in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of
the Company, then the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense
thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company), provided
further, that in the case of clause (iii) above the Company shall not be
responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate
legal counsel for such Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate
with the Company in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such
action or Indemnified Liability by the Company and shall furnish to the Company
all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee which relates to such
action or Indemnified Liability. The Company shall keep the Indemnitee
reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any
settlement negotiations with respect thereto. The Company shall not be liable
for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior
written consent, provided, however, that the Company shall not unreasonably
withhold, delay or condition its consent. The Company shall not, without the
prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or
enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified
Liability or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as
to fault on the part of the Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided
for hereunder, the Company shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee
with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter
for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice
to the Company within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action
shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnitee under this
Section 8(k), except to the extent that the Company is materially and adversely
prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
(iii) The
indemnification required by this Section 8(k) shall be made by periodic payments
of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and
when bills are received or Indemnified Liabilities are incurred.
(iv) The
indemnity agreement contained herein shall be in addition to (A) any cause of
action or similar right of the Indemnitee against the Company or others, and (B)
any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to the law.
32
(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 any 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 specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and
permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent
jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages
and without posting a bond or other security.
(n) Withdrawal
Right.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any
similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Buyer 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 Buyer 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.
(o) Payment Set Aside;
Currency. To the
extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Buyer hereunder or
pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or any of 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. Until the one (1)
year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall not effect any stock
combination, reverse stock split or other similar transaction (or make any
public announcement with respect to any of the foregoing) without the prior
written consent of each of the Buyers. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all
dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”), and all
amounts owing under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be
paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies (if any) shall
be converted in the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the
Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange Rate” means, in relation to
any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this
Agreement, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal
on the relevant date of calculation.
33
(p) Independent Nature of
Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The
obligations of each Buyer under the Transaction Documents 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
Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or
thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as, and the Company
acknowledges that the Buyers do not so constitute, a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a
presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group or
entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the
Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert
any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The decision of each Buyer to
purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such
Buyer independently of any other Buyer. Each Buyer acknowledges that no other
Buyer has acted as agent for such Buyer in connection with such Buyer making its
investment hereunder and that no other Buyer will be acting as agent of such
Buyer in connection with monitoring such Buyer’s investment in the Securities or
enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. The Company and each Buyer
confirms that each Buyer has independently participated with the Company in the
negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own
counsel and advisors. 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. The use of a single agreement to
effectuate the purchase and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby was
solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Buyer,
and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was
required or requested to do so by any Buyer. It is expressly
understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in
each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Buyer, solely, and
not between the Company and the Buyers collectively and not between and among
the Buyers.
