of such shares set forth as being so owned by such Person constitutes the entire interest of such
person in the issued and outstanding capital stock or voting securities of the Target. Each Target

commitments, equities, claims, and demands. No Target Securityholder is a party to any option,
warrant, purchase right, or other Contract or commitment that could require such Target

understanding with respect to the Target Securities, except the Target Operating Agreement.

other Tax Return in which Tax Liability was or would be computed on a consolidated, combined,
unitary or similar basis. The Buyer does not have and has not had a relationship to any other
Person which would cause it to have Liability for Taxes of any other Person (other than as a payor
required to effect Tax withholding from payments to another Person) payable by reason of Contract,
assumption, transferee Liability, operation of Law, or Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6(a) (or
any predecessor or successor thereof or any analogous or similar provision of Law).

qualification thereof by the respective Disclosure Schedule: provided however, that the Party
receiving the Update will have the right to accept the Update in its discretion as a condition to

exchange); provided, however, that the Target, and its directors and officers will remain free to
participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, furnish any information with respect to,
assist or participate in, or facilitate in any other manner any effort or attempt by any Person to
do or seek any of the foregoing to the extent their fiduciary duties may require. The Target shall
notify the Buyer immediately if any Person makes any proposal, offer, inquiry, or contact with
respect to any of the foregoing.
5.8 Stock Purchase Agreement.
The Target and Buyer are party to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated November 6,
2009, as amended (the “SPA”) whereby the Target purchased certain Buyer Shares. Of the amount of
Buyer Shares purchased under the SPA, 36,333,333 of the Buyer Shares are still subject to that
certain “Stock Pledge Agreement” dated December 1, 2009, as amended (the “Pledged Shares”). The

(pre-reverse split price), which commitment shall include placement of the purchase price in escrow
and the closing thereof concurrent with or immediately following the Closing of the Merger subject
only to the completion and closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Third
Party Investment”).
5.10 “Go Shop” Rights.
During the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier of
the date that the Third Party Investment is deposited into escrow or two business days prior to the
Closing of the Merger (the “Go Shop Termination Date”), the Buyer shall be permitted to (i)
directly or indirectly solicit, initiate or encourage the submission of an alternative financing
transaction, including without limitation a sale of assets or securities, a merger or acquisition,
or a license of assets (an “Alternative Transaction”), (ii) directly or indirectly participate in
discussions or negotiations regarding, and furnish to any person information with respect to, and
take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes,
or may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Alternative Transaction; and (iii) provide to any
person any non-public information with respect to the Buyer or any Buyer Subsidiary under the terms
of a customary confidentiality agreement, provided the Buyer shall promptly provide to the Target
any non-public information concerning the Buyer or any subsidiary that is provided to such person
which was not previously provided to the Target. The Buyer must have approval of the full Board of
Directors to enter into an Alternative Transaction. In the event that Buyer notifies Target in
writing (an “Alternative Transaction Notice”) of its intention to conclude an Alternate Transaction
(which notice shall specify the material terms and conditions of any such Alternate Transaction),
for a period of 10 days following delivery of the Alternative Transaction Notice, Target shall have
the right to (i) conclude this Agreement by (A) causing the Third Party Investment to be deposited
into an escrow account and (B) completing all of the conditions to Buyer’s obligation to close in
Section 6.1 below, or (ii) negotiate an amendment or modification to this Agreement or propose an
Alternate Transaction. Buyer shall take such actions and execute and deliver such documents as may
be reasonably necessary to support Target in its efforts to complete the Closing of the Merger. If
the Merger is not closed within the 10 day period, then Buyer shall have the option to suspend this
Agreement and complete the Alternative Transaction. In the event the Alternative Transaction is
not completed within 20 days following the end of the 10 day Alternative Transaction Notice period,
this Agreement shall be automatically reinstated as if the Alternative Transaction never existed
and each party shall diligently pursue the Merger. In the event that an Alternative Transaction is
completed with a third party, upon the closing of any portion of an Alternative Transaction, the
Buyer shall pay the Target a “Termination Fee” of $500,000 in immediately available funds. Any
purported termination by the Buyer resulting from the desire to pursue an Alternative Transaction
shall not be valid or of any effect unless the provisions of this Section 5.10 are expressly
followed by the Buyer and the Termination Fee is paid as set forth herein.

7. INDEMNIFICATION.
7.1 Indemnification.
Each Party agrees to indemnify and hold the other and its respective officers, directors, and
affiliates, (the “Indemnitees”) harmless against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages,
deficiencies, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of
investigation (hereinafter individually
a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”) incurred by the Indemnitees directly or indirectly as a
result of (i) any inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty of party contained in this
Agreement, (ii) any failure of to perform or comply with any covenant contained in this Agreement.
The representations, warranties and covenants made by each Major Buyer Shareholder in this
Agreement shall survive for a period expiring on the date that is twenty-four (24) months following
the Closing (the “Survival Date”) and any action for indemnification under this Agreement must be
made and filed by the Survival Date. Any claim for Loss which is not made and filed by an
Indemnitee prior to the Survival Date shall, from and after the Survival Date, be deemed to have
been waived by such Indemnitee and rendered null and void and of no further force and effect.
7.2 Indemnity Procedure.
The indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof; the omission to notify the indemnifying party will relieve it from any
liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section (but not otherwise) if the
indemnifying party proves that it has been materially prejudiced by such omission. In case any
such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent
that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party, similarly notified, to assume the
defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the
indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the
indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or
other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

The calculation of any Loss will reflect the amount of any insurance proceeds received in cash
by the indemnified party in respect to such Loss in such year.
