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 Company’s Articles of Incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to Enable as a result of Enable and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Securities and Enable’s ownership of the Securities.

(x) Disclosure. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of Enable or its agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information which is not otherwise disclosed in the Prospectus Supplement.

All disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to Enable regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement, 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(dd) Acknowledgment Regarding Enable’s Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that Enable is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Company further acknowledges that Enable is not 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 thereby and any advice given by Enable or any of its representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental to Enable’s purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to Enable that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.

(ee) Acknowledgement Regarding Enable’s Trading Activity. Anything in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding (except for Sections 3.2(e) and 4.10 hereof), it is understood and acknowledged by the Company (i) that Enable has not been asked to agree, nor has Enable agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short, securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by the Company or to hold the Securities for any specified term; (ii) that past or future open market or other transactions by Enable, including Short Sales, and specifically including, without limitation, Short Sales or “derivative” transactions, before or after the closing of this or future transactions, may negatively impact the market price of the Company’s publicly-traded securities; (iii) that Enable, and counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to which Enable is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the Common Stock, and (iv) that Enable shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter-party in any “derivative” transaction.

The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of any of the Transaction Documents.

(ff) Regulation M Compliance.

3.2 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Enable. Enable hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date and, if applicable, as of the Option Closing Date to the Company as follows:

(a) Organization; Authority. Each of Enable and each Enable Affiliate is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full right, corporate, LLC or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by each of Enable and each Enable Affiliate of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or similar action on the part of each of Enable and each Enable Affiliate. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by each of Enable and each Enable Affiliate, and when delivered by Enable/such Enable Affiliate in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of Enable/such Enable Affiliate, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

(b) Own Account. Enable is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other Persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities (this representation and warranty not limiting Enable’s right to sell the Securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws) in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law. Enable is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.

(c) Enable Status. At the time Enable was offered the Securities, it was, and at the date hereof it is, either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.

(d) Experience of Enable. Enable, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Enable is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment. Enable understands that nothing in the Agreement or any other materials presented to Enable in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Enable acknowledges that it must rely on legal, tax and investment advisors of its own choosing in connection with its purchase of the Securities.

(e) Short Sales and Confidentiality Prior To The Date Hereof. Other than the transactions contemplated hereunder, Enable has not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with Enable, executed any disposition, including Short Sales, in the securities of the Company during the period commencing from the time that Enable first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder until the date hereof (“Discussion Time”). Enable has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).

(g) No Intent to Effect a Change of Control. Enable has no present intent to effect a “change of control” of the Company as such term is understood under the rules promulgated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

(h) Series C Preferred Stock. Enable and the Enable Affiliates own beneficially and of record 2,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, free and clear of all Liens.

The payments to which Enable shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3^rd) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of Enable, or include the name of Enable in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of Enable, except (i) as required by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction Documents (including signature pages thereto) with the Commission and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide Enable with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this subclause (ii).

and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that Enable Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against Enable, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of Enable, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of Enable’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings Enable may have with any such stockholder or any violations by Enable of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by Enable which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against an Enable Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Enable Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to such Enable Party. Such Enable Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Enable Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Enable Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to an Enable Party under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by such Enable Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to such Enable Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Enable Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.

OPTION

5.1 Option Put Exercise.

The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or, if for any reason JAMS refuses to administer such arbitration or JAMS is no longer in business, by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its rules and procedures. Unless the arbitrator determines that there is exceptional need for additional discovery, discovery in the arbitration shall be limited as follows: (1) the parties shall exchange non-privileged relevant documents including, without limitation, all documents that the parties intend to use as evidence in the arbitration; and (2) each party shall be entitled to take one deposition of seven hours duration of either an opposing party or a non-party. If one party fails to respond within 20 days after the other party mails a written list of proposed arbitrators to that party by either agreeing to one of the proposed arbitrators or suggesting 3 or more alternate arbitrators, the proposing party may select the arbitrator from among its initial list of proposed arbitrators and JAMS (or AAA if it is administering the arbitration) shall then appoint that arbitrator to preside over the arbitration. If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator, the parties shall select an arbitrator pursuant to

the rules of JAMS (or AAA if it is administering the arbitration). Where reasonable, the arbitrator shall schedule the arbitration hearing within four (4) months after being appointed. The arbitrator must render a decision in writing, explaining the legal and factual basis for decision as to each of the principal controverted issues. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding upon the parties. A judgment upon any award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude the parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration, such as injunctive relief, from any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall be responsible for advancing one-half of the costs of arbitration, including all JAMS (or AAA) fees; provided that, in the award, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arbitrator fees, JAMS (or AAA) fees and costs, and any attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in compelling arbitration. The parties are not waiving, and expressly reserve, any rights they may have under federal securities laws, rules, and regulations, and any such rights shall be determined in the arbitration provided for herein. Each party hereby irrevocably agrees and submits to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the City of San Francisco, California, for any suit, action or proceeding enforcing this arbitration provision or entering judgment upon any arbitral award made pursuant to this arbitration provision, and each party 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 such courts, or that such suit, action or proceeding is an inconvenient venue. 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 via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. This provision will be interpreted, construed and governed according to the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. Sections 1 et seq.).

6.10 Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Convertible Notes for a period of two years.

6.11 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart (and with the date of effectiveness being determined by the time, in New York, of such counterparts exchange). In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

6.12 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,

covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

6.13 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever Enable 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 Enable may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

6.14 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

6.15 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of Enable and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

6.16 Counsel. Enable has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents.

6.17 Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.

6.18 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Securities Purchase Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized signatories as of the date first indicated above.
