In

Down Amount exceed the Maximum Draw Down Amount. Each Draw Down Notice shall
be
accompanied by a certificate, signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief

of Exhibit C

Section

Subject
to Section 3.06(b), the number of Shares to be issued in connection with
each Draw Down shall be equal to the sum of the number of shares issuable on
each Trading Day of the Draw Down Pricing Period. Subject to Section 3.06(b),
the number of Shares issuable on a Trading Day during a Draw Down Pricing Period
shall be equal to the quotient of one eighth (1/8th)
of the

Section

Section

Subject
to Section 3.06(b), the number of Shares purchased by the Investor in any Draw
Down shall be determined and settled on two separate dates. Shares purchased
by
the Investor during the first four Trading Days of any Draw Down Pricing Period
shall be determined and settled no later than the sixth Trading Day of such
Draw
Down Pricing Period. Shares purchased by the Investor during the second four
Trading Days of any Draw Down Pricing Period shall be determined and settled
no
later than the second Trading Day after the last Trading Day of such Draw Down
Pricing Period. Each date on which settlement of the purchase and sale of Shares
occurs hereunder being referred to as a “Settlement
Date.”
The
Investor shall provide the Company with delivery instructions for the Shares
to
be issued at each Settlement Date at least two Trading Days in advance of such
Settlement Date. The number of Shares actually issued shall be rounded to the
nearest whole number of Shares.
Section
3.06. Delivery
of Shares; Payment of Draw Down Amount.
(a) On
each
Settlement Date, the Company shall deliver the Shares purchased by the Investor
to the Investor or its designees exclusively via book-entry through the DTC
to
an account designated by the Investor, and upon receipt of the Shares, the
Investor shall cause payment therefor to be made to the Company’s designated
account by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if the Shares are
received by the Investor no later than 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), or next day
available funds, if the Shares are received thereafter. Upon the written request
of the Company, the Investor will cause its banker to confirm to the Company
that the Investor has provided irrevocable instructions to cause payment for
the
Shares to be made as set forth above, upon confirmation by such banker that
the
Shares have been delivered through the DTC in unrestricted form.
(b) For
each
Trading Day during a Draw Down Pricing Period that the VWAP is less than the
greater of (i) 85% of the Closing Price of the Company’s Common Stock on the
Trading Day immediately preceding the commencement of such Draw Down Pricing
Period, or (ii) $2.00, such Trading Day shall not be used in calculating
the number of Shares to be issued in connection with such Draw Down, and the
Draw Down Amount in respect of such Draw Down Pricing Period shall be reduced
by
one eighth (1/8th)
of the
initial Draw Down Amount specified in the Draw Down Notice. If trading in the
Company’s Common Stock is suspended for any reason for more than three (3)
consecutive or non-consecutive hours during any Trading Day during a Draw Down
Pricing Period, such Trading Day shall not be used in calculating the number
of
Shares to be issued in connection with such Draw Down, and the Draw Down Amount
in respect of such Draw Down Pricing Period shall be reduced by one eighth
(1/8th) of the initial Draw Down Amount specified in the Draw Down Notice.
In
the event that the Company delivers a Blackout Notice to the Investor at any
time on or after the date that a Draw Down Notice is issued, each Trading Day
during the applicable Draw Down Pricing Period after the delivery of such
Blackout Notice shall be disregarded (subject to waiver by the Investor) for
the
purposes of calculating the number of Shares to be issued in respect of the
applicable Draw Down, and the Draw Down Amount in respect of such Draw Down
Pricing Period shall be reduced by one eighth (1/8th) of the initial Draw Down
Amount specified in the Draw Down Notice for each such Trading Day that is
so
disregarded.

Section
3.07. Failure
to Deliver Shares.
If the
Company fails, on any Settlement Date, to take all actions within its reasonable
control to cause the delivery of the Shares purchased by the Investor, and
such
failure is not cured within two (2) Trading Days following such Settlement
Date,
the Company shall pay to the Investor on demand in cash by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to an account designated by the Investor the
“Make
Whole Amount;”
provided,
however,
that in
the event that the Company is prevented from delivering Shares in respect of
any
such Settlement Date in a timely manner by any fact or circumstance that is
reasonably within the control of, or directly attributable to, the Investor,
then such two (2) Trading Day period shall be automatically extended until
such
time as such fact or circumstance is cured. As used herein, the Make Whole
Amount shall be an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Draw Down Amount actually
paid by the Investor in respect of such Shares plus (ii) an amount equal to
the
actual loss suffered by the Investor in respect of sales to subsequent
purchasers, pursuant to transactions entered into before the Settlement Date,
of
the Shares that were required to be delivered by the Company, which shall be
based upon documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Company demonstrating
the difference (if greater than zero) between (A) the price per share paid
by
the Investor to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock necessary for
the
Investor to meet its share delivery obligations to such subsequent purchasers
minus (B) the average Draw Down Discount Price during the applicable Draw Down
Pricing Period. In the event that the Make Whole Amount is not paid within
two
(2) Trading Days following a demand therefor from the Investor, the Make Whole
Amount shall accrue interest compounded daily at a rate of LIBOR plus 300 basis
points per annum, up to and including the date on which the Make Whole Amount
is
actually paid. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Agreement, in the event that the Company pays the Make Whole Amount (plus
interest, if applicable) in respect of any Settlement Date in accordance with
this Section 3.07, such payment shall be the Investor’s sole remedy in respect
of the Company’s failure to deliver Shares in respect of such Settlement Date,
and the Company shall not be obligated to deliver such Shares.

conservatorship, receivership, or similar laws relating to, or affecting
generally the enforcement of creditor’s rights and remedies or by other
equitable principles of general application.
16
Section
5.03. No
Conflicts.
The

Registration Rights Agreement and any other document or instrument contemplated
hereby, by the Investor and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
thereby do not (i) violate any provision of the Investor’s charter
documents or bylaws, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an
event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under,

cancellation of, any material agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture,
note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the
Investor is a party, (iii) create or impose a lien, charge or encumbrance

its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of
the
Company. The Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it
has
considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to
its
acquisition of the Shares, the Warrant and the Warrant Shares. The Investor
understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own
tax
liabilities that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

Investor has not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf
of
or pursuant to any understanding with the Investor, engaged in any transactions
in the Company’s securities (including, without limitation, any “short sale”, as
such term is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO, or any successor regulation,
promulgated by the Commission under the Exchange Act involving Common Stock)
since the time that the Investor was first contacted by the Company, or any
Person acting on behalf of the Company, regarding the transactions contemplated
hereby.
17
(b) The
Investor covenants that during the Commitment Period, neither the Investor
nor
any of its affiliates nor any entity managed or controlled by the Investor
will
ever (i) enter into or execute or cause any Person to enter into or execute
any

successor regulation promulgated by the Commission under the Exchange Act)
of
any shares of Common Stock, (ii) sell, during the term of a Draw Down Pricing
Period, Common Stock other than Common Stock purchased (or to be purchased)
pursuant to the Draw Down pertaining to such Draw Down Pricing Period or (iii)
engage, through related parties or otherwise, in any derivative transaction
directly related to shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation,
the
purchase of any option or contract to sell). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the
Investor shall have the right during any Draw Down Pricing Period to sell shares
of Common Stock equal in number to the aggregate number of the Shares purchased
(or to be purchased) pursuant to the Draw Down pertaining to such Draw Down
Pricing Period.
Section
5.07. Statutory
Underwriter Status.
The
Investor acknowledges that, pursuant to the Commission’s current interpretations
of the Securities Act, the Investor will be disclosed as an “underwriter” within
the meaning of the Securities Act in the Registration Statement (and amendments
thereto) and in any Prospectus contained therein to the extent required by
applicable law. The Company acknowledges that the Investor does not necessarily
agree with such characterization.
Section
5.08. Not

Investor is not an officer, director or “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405 of
the Securities Act) of the Company.
Section
5.09. Manner

Investor agrees that unless the Shares and Warrant Shares are eligible for
resale pursuant to all the conditions of Rule 144, it will resell the Shares
and
Warrant Shares only pursuant to the Registration Statement, in a manner
described under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Registration
Statement, and in a manner in compliance with all applicable securities laws,
including, without limitation, the xxxxxxx xxxxxxx restrictions of the Exchange
Act and the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, if any,
as
applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant
to
the Registration Statement, and the Investor shall have delivered a current
prospectus in connection with such sale or shall have confirmed that a current
prospectus is deemed to be delivered in connection with such sale, or relied
on
an exemption from such prospectus delivery requirements. The Investor,
acknowledges that the delivery of the Shares or Warrant Shares through DTC
is
predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Investor will sell any Shares or
Warrant Shares pursuant to either (i) the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, or (ii) an exemption therefrom. The Investor further
acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall be under no obligation to
supplement the Prospectus to reflect the issuance of any Shares pursuant to
a
Draw Down at any time prior to the day following the Settlement Date with
respect to such Shares.

of Common Stock.
As of
the date hereof, the Company has available and the Company shall reserve and
keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights and other similar
contractual rights of stockholders, shares of Common Stock for the purpose
of
enabling the Company to satisfy any obligation to issue the Shares in connection
with all Draw Downs contemplated hereunder and the Warrant Shares. The number
of
shares so reserved from time to time, as theretofore increased or reduced as
hereinafter provided, may be reduced by the number of shares actually delivered

During
the Commitment Period, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts:
(i) to take all action necessary to cause its Common Stock to continue to
be registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act,
(ii) to comply in all material respects with its reporting and filing
obligations under the Exchange Act, (iii) to prevent the termination or

the prior written consent of the Investor, the Registration Statement shall
be

19

the consent of its stockholders in accordance with FINRA and The NASDAQ Stock
Market LLC rules, the Company will not be obligated to issue, and the Investor
will not be obligated to purchase, any Shares or Blackout Shares which would
result in the issuance under this Agreement, the Warrant and the Registration
Rights Agreement of Shares, Warrant Shares and Blackout Shares (collectively)
representing more than the applicable percentage under the rules of the FINRA

Company shall furnish copies of the following to the Investor within three

transaction is not a Prohibited Transaction (as defined below) (any such
transaction that is not a Prohibited Transaction is referred to in this
Agreement as a “Permitted Transaction”). Without limiting the generality of the
preceding sentence, the Company may, without the prior written consent of the
Investor, (i) establish stock option or award plans or agreements (for
directors, employees, consultants and/or advisors), and issue securities
thereunder, and amend such plans or agreements, including increasing the number
of shares available thereunder, (ii) issue equity securities to finance, or
otherwise in connection with, the acquisition of one or more other companies,

than in connection with any Prohibited Transaction), (viii) issue equity
securities to equipment lessors, equipment vendors, banks or similar lending
institutions in connection with leases or loans, or in connection with strategic

any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification or similar
event by the Company, and (x) issue shares of Common Stock to the Investor
under any other agreement entered into between the Investor and the
Company.
20
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, other than in the ordinary course of the Company’s business, the
Company shall not engage in any Permitted Transaction involving the issuance,

may
be withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of the Investor. For the
purposes of this Agreement, the term “Prohibited Transaction” shall refer to:
(i) the issuance by the Company of any rights, warrants or options to subscribe
for or purchase Common Stock, or any other securities directly or indirectly
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock, at an
effective conversion, exchange or exercise price that varies or may vary with
or
is otherwise issuable in relation to the market price of Common Stock, including
by way of one or more resets to any fixed price; (ii) any “at-the-market
offering” (as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act or any
successor rule thereto) of the Company’s securities by or on behalf of the
Company, other than (A) a customary, firm-commitment underwritten public
offering or (B) an unregistered private placement of Common Stock where the
price per share of such Common Stock is fixed upon signing of definitive
documentation of the sale, but not afterwards; and (iii) any equity line or
other form of financing that is substantially similar to the financing provided
for under this Agreement, provided that any future issuance by the Company
of a
convertible security (“Convertible
Security”)
that
contains provisions that adjust the conversion price of such Convertible
Security (“Conversion
Price”)
in the
event of stock splits, dividends, distributions or similar events or pursuant
to
anti-dilution provisions shall not be a Prohibited Transaction for purposes
of
this Section 6.08 so long as such Convertible Security does not contain a
provision that adjusts the Conversion Price as a result of any decline in the
market price of the Common Stock after the issue date of the Convertible
Security, other than a decline resulting directly from stock splits, dividends,
distributions or similar events including, without limitation, the type of
conversion price adjustments customarily found in a firm commitment Rule 144A
offering to qualified institutional buyers.
Section
6.09. Corporate
Existence.
The
Company shall take all steps necessary to preserve and continue the corporate
existence of the Company; provided,
however,
that
nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from engaging
in any Excluded Merger or Sale with another Person provided that in the event
of
an Excluded Merger or Sale, if the surviving, successor or purchasing Person
does not agree to assume the obligations under the Warrant, then the Company
shall deliver a notice to the Investor at least ten (10) days before the
consummation of such Excluded Merger or Sale (provided that, to the extent
that
such transaction has not been publicly disclosed, then the Investor agrees
to
maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use such information
only in connection with a decision to exercise the Warrant), the Investor may
exercise the Warrant at any time before the consummation of such Excluded Merger
or Sale (and such exercise may be made contingent upon the consummation of
such
Excluded Merger or Sale), and any portion of the Warrant that has not been
exercised before consummation of such Excluded Merger or Sale shall terminate
and expire, and shall no longer be outstanding.
21
Section
6.10. Non-Disclosure
of Non-Public Information.

through (iii) of the previous sentence, only that the event has occurred. The
Company shall not request a Draw Down during the continuation of any of the
foregoing events.

to the Registration Statement.
When
the Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission, the Company
shall (i) not file any amendment to the Registration Statement or make any
amendment or supplement to the Prospectus of which the Investor shall not

however,
that
the Company shall, to the extent it deems advisable, and without the prior
consent of or notice to Investor, supplement the Prospectus within one Trading
Day following the Settlement Date for each Draw Down solely to reflect the
issuance of Shares with respect to such Draw Down and (ii) so long as, in
the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Investor, a Prospectus is required
to
be delivered in connection with sales of the Shares by the Investor, if the
Company files any information, documents or reports that are incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement pursuant to the Exchange Act, the
Company shall, if requested in writing by the Investor, deliver a copy of such
information, documents or reports to the Investor promptly following such
filing.
Section
6.13. Prospectus
Delivery.
From
time to time for such period as in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the

connection with sales by the Investor, the Company will expeditiously deliver
to
the Investor, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (and of any
amendment or supplement thereto) as the Investor may reasonably request. The
Company consents to the use of the Prospectus (and of any amendment or
supplement thereto) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act
and
state securities laws in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares
and
the Warrant Shares and for such period of time thereafter as the Prospectus
is
required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales of
the
Shares and the Warrant Shares.

ARTICLE
IX
INDEMNIFICATION
Section
9.01. Indemnification.
(a) Except
as
otherwise provided in this Article IX, unless disputed as set forth in
Section 9.02, the Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Investor and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, agents,
employees, subsidiaries, partners, members and controlling persons (each, an
“Investor
Indemnified Party”),
to
the fullest extent permitted by law from and against any and all Damages
directly resulting from or directly arising out of any breach of any
representation or warranty, covenant or agreement by the Company in this
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrant; provided,
however,
that
the Company shall not be liable under this Article IX to an Investor
Indemnified Party to the extent that such Damages resulted or arose from the
breach by an Investor Indemnified Party of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement of an Investor Indemnified Party contained in this
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrant or the negligence,
recklessness, willful misconduct or bad faith of an Investor Indemnified Party.
The parties intend that any Damages subject to indemnification pursuant to
this
Article IX will be net of insurance proceeds (which the Investor
Indemnified Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to recover).
Accordingly, the amount which the Company is required to pay to any Investor
Indemnified Party hereunder (a “Company
Indemnity Payment”)
will
be reduced by any insurance proceeds actually recovered by or on behalf of
any
Investor Indemnified Party in reduction of the related Damages. In addition,
if
an Investor Indemnified Party receives a Company Indemnity Payment required
by
this Article IX in respect of any Damages and subsequently receives any
such insurance proceeds, then the Investor Indemnified Party will pay to the
Company an amount equal to the Company Indemnity Payment received less the
amount of the Company Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the
insurance proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Company
Indemnity Payment was made.
(b) Except
as
otherwise provided in this Article IX, unless disputed as set forth in
Section 9.02, the Investor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
the Company and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, agents,
employees, subsidiaries, partners, members and controlling persons (each, a
“Company
Indemnified Party”),
to
the fullest extent permitted by law from and against any and all Damages
directly resulting from or directly arising out of any breach of any
representation or warranty, covenant or agreement by the Investor in this
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrant; provided,
however,
that
the Investor shall not be liable under this Article IX to a Company
Indemnified Party to the extent that such Damages resulted or arose from the
breach by a Company Indemnified Party of any representation, warranty, covenant
or agreement of a Company Indemnified Party contained in this Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrant or negligence, recklessness,
willful misconduct or bad faith of a Company Indemnified Party. The parties
intend that any Damages subject to indemnification pursuant to this
Article IX will be net of insurance proceeds (which the Company agrees to
use commercially reasonable efforts to recover). Accordingly, the amount which
the Investor is required to pay to any Company Indemnified Party hereunder
(an
“Investor
Indemnity Payment”)
will
be reduced by any insurance proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on
behalf of any Company Indemnified Party in reduction of the related Damages.
In
addition, if a Company Indemnified Party receives an Investor Indemnity Payment
required by this Article IX in respect of any Damages and subsequently
receives any such insurance proceeds, then the Company Indemnified Party will
pay to the Investor an amount equal to the Investor Indemnity Payment received
less the amount of the Investor Indemnity Payment that would have been due
if
the insurance proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the
Investor Indemnity Payment was made.
26
Section
9.02. Notification
of Claims for Indemnification.
Each
party entitled to indemnification under this Article IX (an “Indemnified
Party”)
shall,
promptly after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any claim against
such Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from the
party obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party under this Article IX
(the “Indemnifying
Party”),
notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof. Any such
notice shall describe the claim in reasonable detail. The failure of any
Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party of any such action shall
not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to
such
Indemnified Party (a) other than pursuant to this Article IX or (b) under
this Article IX unless, and only to the extent that, such failure results
in the Indemnifying Party’s forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses or the
Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay. The procedures listed below
shall govern the procedures for the handling of indemnification
claims.
(a) Any
claim
for indemnification for Damages that do not result from a Third Party Claim
as
defined in the following paragraph, shall be asserted by written notice given
by
the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall
have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice within which
to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such
thirty (30) day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused
to accept responsibility to make payment as set forth in Section 9.01. If
such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30) day period
or
rejects such claim in whole or in part, the Indemnified Party shall be free
to
pursue such remedies as specified in this Agreement.
(b) If
an
Indemnified Party shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion
by a
person or entity not a party to this Agreement of any threatened legal action
or
claim (collectively a “Third
Party Claim”),
with
respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide
indemnification, the Indemnified Party shall give such Indemnifying Party
written notice thereof within twenty (20) days after becoming aware of such
Third Party Claim.
27
(c) An
Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and, unless the Indemnifying Party
has
specified any reservations or exceptions, to seek to settle or compromise)
at
such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own
counsel, any Third Party Claim. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of
notice from an Indemnified Party (or sooner if the nature of such Third Party
Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party
whether the Indemnifying Party will assume responsibility for defending such
Third Party Claim, which election shall specify any reservations or exceptions.
If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30) day period
or rejects such claim in whole or in part, the Indemnified Party shall be free
to pursue such remedies as specified in this Agreement. In case any such Third
Party Claim shall be brought against any Indemnified Party, and it shall notify
the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party
shall
be entitled to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with counsel
satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment; provided,
however, that any Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, retain separate
counsel to participate in such defense at its own expense. Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, in any Third Party Claim in which both the Indemnifying Party, on
the
one hand, and an Indemnified Party, on the other hand, are, or are reasonably
likely to become, a party, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ
separate counsel and to control its own defense of such claim if, in the
reasonable opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Party, either (x) one or
more significant defenses are available to the Indemnified Party that are not
available to the Indemnifying Party or (y) a conflict or potential conflict
exists between the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified
Party, on the other hand, that would make such separate representation
advisable; provided,
however,
that in
such circumstances the Indemnifying Party (i) shall not be liable for the
fees and expenses of more than one counsel to all Indemnified Parties and
(ii) shall reimburse the Indemnified Parties for such reasonable fees and
expenses of such counsel incurred in any such Third Party Claim, as such
expenses are incurred, provided that the Indemnified Parties agree to repay
such
amounts if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party was not
obligated to provide indemnification under this Article IX. The
Indemnifying Party agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent
of
the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any
judgment in any pending or threatened claim relating to the matters contemplated
hereby (if any Indemnified Party is a party thereto or has been actually
threatened to be made a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise or
consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all
liability arising or that may arise out of such claim. The Indemnifying Party
shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim effected against an
Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying Party’s written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The rights
accorded to an Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to any rights
that any Indemnified Party may have at common law, by separate agreement or
otherwise; provided,
however,
that
notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, nothing in this Article IX shall restrict or limit any rights
that any Indemnified Party may have to seek equitable relief.

commissions or finder’s fees on account of services purported to have been
rendered on behalf of the indemnifying party in connection with this Agreement

No Waiver.
No
party shall be liable or bound to any other party in any manner by any
warranties, representations or covenants except as specifically set forth in
this Agreement, the Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement. Except as
expressly provided in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any term hereof
may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written
instrument signed by both parties hereto. The failure of the either party to
insist on strict compliance with this Agreement, or to exercise any right or
remedy under this Agreement, shall not constitute a waiver of any rights
provided under this Agreement, nor estop the parties from thereafter demanding
full and complete compliance nor prevent the parties from exercising such a
right or remedy in the future.
Section
10.07. Entire
Agreement.
This
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrant set forth the
entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter

31

In the
event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court

competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement
shall continue in full force and effect without said provision; provided
that, if
the severance of such provision materially changes the economic benefits of
this
Agreement to either party as such benefits are anticipated as of the date
hereof, then such party may terminate this Agreement on five (5) Business Days
prior written notice to the other party. In such event, the Registration
Rights Agreement will terminate simultaneously with the termination of this
Agreement; provided that in the event that this Agreement is terminated by
the
Company in accordance with this Section 10.08 and the Warrant Shares either
have
not been registered for resale by the Investor in accordance with the
Registration Rights Agreement or are otherwise not freely tradable (if and
when
issued) in accordance with applicable law, then the Registration Rights
Agreement in respect of the registration of the Warrant Shares shall remain
in
full force and effect.

performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.
It
is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or
injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement
and
to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being
in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law
or
equity.
(b) Subject
to Section 9.03, each of the Company and the Investor (i) hereby
irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court
and
other courts of the United States sitting in the State of New York for the
purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement and (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such
suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to
the
jurisdiction of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought
in an
inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is
improper. Each of the Company and the Investor consents to process being served
in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof 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 in this Section shall affect or limit any right to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law.

The
representations and warranties of the Company and the Investor contained in
Articles IV and V of this Agreement and the covenants contained in
Articles V, VI and X of this Agreement shall survive the execution and

this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the Closing
hereunder.
32

judicial process, prior to the Closing, neither the Company nor the Investor
shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement or
announcement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby or the existence of this Agreement. In the event the Company is required
by law, regulation, Nasdaq rule or judicial process, based upon reasonable
advice of the Company’s inside or outside counsel, to issue a press release or
otherwise make a public statement or announcement with respect to this Agreement
prior to the Closing, the Company shall consult with the Investor on the form
and substance of such press release, statement or announcement. Promptly after
the Closing, each party may issue a press release or otherwise make a public
statement or announcement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby or the existence of this Agreement; provided
that,
prior to issuing any such press release, making any such public statement or
announcement, the party wishing to make such release, statement or announcement
consults and cooperates in good faith with the other party in order to formulate
such press release, public statement or announcement in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to both parties.

Company, each of the Company and the Investor shall execute and deliver such

purposes of this Agreement.
