ARTICLE II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF INVESTORS

Each Investor represents and warrants to the Company, severally and solely with respect to itself and its purchase hereunder and not with respect to any other Investor, that:

2.1 Investment Purpose.  The Investor is purchasing the Common Shares for its own account and not with a present view toward the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted from registration under the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Investor does not agree to hold any of the Common Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Common Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Investor is not purchasing the Common Shares with a view toward making a tender or exchange offer for other shares of outstanding Common Stock, and has no present intention of acquiring a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.

2.2 Accredited Investor Status.  The Investor is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D in that, if a trust, it has total assets in excess of $5,000,000 and was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Common Shares. The person directing the purchase of the Common Shares for the Investor has experience as an investor in securities representing an investment decision like that involved in the purchase of the Common Shares and acknowledges that he has the knowledge, sophistication, and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Common Shares and that the Investor has the ability to bear the economic risks of an investment in the Common Shares.

2.3 Reliance on Exemptions.  The Investor understands that the Common Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Investor’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Investor set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Common Shares.

2

2.4 Information.  The Investor and its advisors, if any, have reviewed the SEC Documents and have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances, and operations of the Company, and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Common Shares, that have been requested by the Investor or its advisors, if any. The Investor and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by Investor or any of its advisors or representatives modify, amend, or affect the Investor’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Article III below. The Investor acknowledges and understands that its investment in the Common Shares involves a significant degree of risk, including the risks reflected in the SEC Documents, and that the market price of the Common Stock has been and continues to be volatile and that no representation is being made as to the future value of the Common Stock.

2.5 Governmental Review.  The Investor understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Common Shares or an investment therein.

2.6 Transfer or Resale.  The Investor understands that:

(a) except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Common Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws and, consequently, the Investor may have to bear the risk of owning the Common Shares for an indefinite period of time because the Common Shares may not be transferred unless (i) the resale of the Common Shares is registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (ii) the Investor has delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel (in form, substance and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that the Common Shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration; (iii) the Common Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144; or (iv) the Common Shares are sold or transferred to an affiliate (as defined in Rule 144) of the Investor;

(b) any sale of the Common Shares made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Common Shares under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with another exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder;

(c) except as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Common Shares under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder; and

3

(d) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company agrees to register any Common Shares issued to an Investor hereunder in the name of any partner of such Investor, and any such partner shall be deemed to be an Investor for all purposes of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, provided that any such partner agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement to the same extent as if such partner were an original Investor hereunder and thereunder.

2.7 Legends.  The Investor understands that until (a) the Common Shares may be sold by the Investor under Rule 144(k) or (b) such time as the resale of the Common Shares has been registered under the Securities Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, the certificates representing the Common Shares will bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such Common Shares):

THE SECURITIES (THE “SECURITIES”) EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT OFFER, RESELL, PLEDGE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER (INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY, A “TRANSFER”) THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. IF THE PROPOSED TRANSFER IS TO BE MADE PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, THE HOLDER MUST, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER, FURNISH TO THE COMPANY AND THE TRANSFER AGENT SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS OR OTHER INFORMATION AS THEY MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS BEING MADE PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY STATE OR FOREIGN SECURITIES LAW. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

The legend set forth above will be removed and the Company will issue a certificate without the legend to the holder of any certificate upon which it is stamped, in accordance with the terms of Article V hereof.

2.8 Authorization; Enforcement.  This Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement have been duly and validly authorized, executed, and delivered on behalf of the Investor and are valid and binding agreements of the Investor, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,

4

moratorium, or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and the application of general principles of equity.

2.9 Residency.  The Investor is a resident, or was organized under the laws, of the jurisdiction set forth immediately below such Investor’s name on the signature pages hereto.

2.10 No Intent to Effect a Change of Control.  The Investor has no present intent to change or influence the control of the Company within the meaning of Rule 13d-1 of the Exchange Act.

2.11 No Hedging.  The Investor has not established any hedge or other position in the Common Stock that is outstanding on the Closing Date which is designed to or could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in any sale of the Common Shares. For purposes hereof, a “hedge or other position” would include effecting any short sale or having in effect any short position or any purchase, sale or grant of any put option, call option or prepaid forward contract with respect to the Common Stock of the Company or with respect to any security (other than a broad-based market basket or index) that includes, relates to or derives any significant part of its value from the Common Stock.

The Company is not aware of any facts or circumstances which would reasonably be expected to give rise to any such action or proceeding. The foregoing includes, without limitation, actions pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened or any basis therefor known by the Company involving the prior employment of any of the Company’s employees, their use in connection with the Company’s business of any information or techniques allegedly proprietary to any of their former employers, or their obligations under any agreements with prior employers.

Each employee has assigned to the Company all intellectual property rights he or she owns that are related to the Company’s business as now conducted.

(e) Neither the execution, delivery, nor performance of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Company’s business by the employees of the Company, will, to the Company’s knowledge, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract, covenant, or instrument under which any employee is now obligated.

3.11 Contracts.  All material contracts to which the Company or its Subsidiaires are party are valid, binding and enforceable and in full force and effect, except where such failures to be so valid, binding and enforceable and in full force and effect would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, [redacted]. The Company is not subject to any charter, corporate, or other legal restriction, or any judgment, decree, order, rule, or regulation which in the reasonable judgment of the Company’s officers has or is expected in the future, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not a party to any contract or agreement which in the reasonable judgment of the Company’s officers has or is expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.12 Tax Status.  The Company has made or filed all federal, state, and foreign income and all other tax returns, reports, and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject (unless and only to the extent that the Company has set aside on its books provisions

10

reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and unreported taxes) and has 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 has set aside on its books provisions 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 Company knows of no basis for any such claim. The Company has not executed a waiver with respect to the statute of limitations relating to the assessment or collection of any foreign, federal, state, or local tax.

3.13 Certain Transactions.  Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents and except for arm’s-length transactions pursuant to which the Company makes payments in the ordinary course of business upon terms no less favorable than the Company could obtain from third parties, and other than the grant of stock options, employment agreements, or the ownership of other securities and rights disclosed in filings under the Exchange Act, none of the officers, directors, or employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company (other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract, agreement, or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director, or employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any officer, director, or employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.

No information relating to or concerning the Company set forth in this Agreement or provided to the Investors pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof or otherwise provided in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation any oral or written statements made or given by the officers of the Company, or any of the Company’s agents, to any Investor, or any Investor’s agent, taken as a whole, contained any untrue statement of a material fact nor omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No event or circumstance has occurred or information exists with respect to the Company or its business, properties, operations, or financial conditions, which, under applicable law, rule, or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly

11

announced or disclosed (assuming for this purpose that the Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act are being incorporated into an effective registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act). To the Company’s knowledge, there are no facts which (individually or in the aggregate) would have a Material Adverse Effect that have not been set forth in the Agreement, the exhibits hereto, or in other documents delivered to the Investors, or their attorneys or agents in connection herewith other than any adverse change, event, or effect that is directly attributable to conditions affecting the United States economy generally unless such conditions adversely affect the Company in a materially disproportionate manner, and any adverse change, event, or effect that is directly attributable to conditions affecting the Company’s industry generally, unless such conditions adversely affect the Company in a materially disproportionate manner.

3.18 No Brokers.  The Company has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finder’s fees or similar payments relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

The Company is not in conflict with, or in default or violation of, any of the Company Permits, except for any such conflicts, defaults or violations which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company are held by it under valid and enforceable leases with such exceptions as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.21 Insurance.  The Company is insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as is prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company is engaged. The Company has no reason to believe that it will not be able 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.

3.22 Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx; Internal Accounting Controls.  The Company is in material compliance with all provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 that are applicable to it as of the Closing Date. The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient, in the judgment of the Company’s board of directors, to provide reasonable assurance that (a) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (b) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (c) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, (d) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences, and (e) financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles are reliable. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures as of the date prior to the filing date of the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 307(b) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) or, to the knowledge of the Company, in other factors that would materially affect the Company’s internal controls.

3.23 Employment Matters.  The Company is in compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours except where failure to be in compliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no pending investigations involving the Company by the U.S. Department of Labor or any other governmental agency responsible for the enforcement of such federal, state, local or foreign laws and regulations. There is no unfair labor practice charge or complaint against the Company pending before

13

the National Labor Relations Board or any strike, picketing, boycott, dispute, slowdown or stoppage pending or threatened against or involving the Company. No representation question exists respecting the employees of the Company, and no collective bargaining agreement or modification thereof is currently being negotiated by the Company. No grievance or arbitration proceeding is currently pending under any expired or existing collective bargaining agreements of the Company. No material labor dispute with the employees of the Company exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent.

3.24 Obligations of Management.  Each officer and key employee of the Company is currently devoting substantially all of his or her business time to the conduct of the business of the Company. The Company is not aware that any officer or key employee of the Company is planning to work less than full time at the Company in the future. No officer or key employee is currently working or, to the Company’s knowledge, plans to work for a competitive enterprise, whether or not such officer or key employee is or will be compensated by such enterprise.

3.25 Registration Rights.  Except as required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement and similar agreements dated May 4, 2005 and October 17, 2007, the Company is presently not under any obligation, and has not granted any rights, to register any of the Company’s presently outstanding securities or any of its securities that may hereafter be issued.

3.26 Investment Company Status. The Company is not and upon consummation of the sale of the Common Shares will not be 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.

3.27 No General Solicitation.  Neither the Company nor any distributor participating on the Company’s behalf in the transactions contemplated hereby (if any) nor any person acting for the Company, or any such distributor, has conducted any “general solicitation,” as such term is defined in Regulation D, with respect to any of the Common Shares being offered hereby. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each Investor contained in Section 2.2 hereof, the offer, sale, and issuance of the Common Shares will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and will have been registered or qualified (or are exempt from registration and qualification) under the registration, permit, or qualification requirements of all applicable state securities laws.

3.28 Application of Takeover Protections.  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 or other similar anti-takeover provision under the laws of the state of its incorporation, the Company’s organizational documents and any other agreement to which the Company is bound, which is or could become applicable to the Investors as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company’s issuance of the Common Shares and the Investors’ ownership of the Common Shares.

14

3.29 Net Operating Loss Carryforward.  To the best of the Company’s knowledge after performing initial research and calculating beneficial ownership of the Company’s securities by persons solely on the basis of their Exchange Act filings, (i) the Company and each of its Subsidiaries have not experienced, and will not experience after the issuance of stock pursuant to this Agreement, an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (an “Ownership Change”); (ii) the ability of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries to use net operating losses realized in the current taxable year, net operating loss carryforwards, tax credits and other tax attributes is not, and will not after the issuance of stock pursuant to this Agreement, be limited by Section 382 or otherwise for Federal income tax purposes; (iii) the Company does not believe that it (or any of its Subsidiaries) is likely to experience an Ownership Change based upon the stock issuance pursuant to this Agreement and all other contemplated transactions, including, for the avoidance of doubt, contemplated transactions that are not yet subject to a legally binding agreement to which the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) may be a party, including but not limited to any contemplated transactions involving the issuance by the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) of its stock, options or other securities.

ARTICLE IV

COVENANTS

4.1 Best Efforts.  Each party will use its best efforts to satisfy in a timely fashion each of the conditions to be satisfied by it under Articles VI and VII of this Agreement.

4.2 Blue Sky Laws.  The Company will, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as it reasonably determines to be necessary to qualify the Common Shares for sale to the Investors under this Agreement under applicable securities (or “blue sky”) laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and will provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Investors on or prior to the date of the Closing. The Company will file with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby within four business days after the Closing Date and will make any required notice filings with state securities law authorities on a timely basis.

4.3 Reporting Status.  The Company’s Common Stock is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. Throughout the Registration Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the Company will use its best efforts to timely file all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC under the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and the Company will not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination.

4.4 Use of Proceeds.  The Company will use the proceeds from the sale of the Common Shares to effect acquisitions, to expand the Company’s wireless infrastructure and for general working capital.

4.5 Financial Statements.  The financial statements of the Company will be prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, consistently

15

applied, and will fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and 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).

4.6 Solvency; Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law.  The Company (both before and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) is solvent (i.e., its assets have a fair market value in excess of the amount required to pay its probable liabilities on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured) and currently the Company has no information that would lead it to reasonably conclude that the Company would not have, nor does it intend to take any action that would impair, the ability to pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection therewith as such debts mature. The Company will conduct its business in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of the jurisdictions in which it is conducting business, including, without limitation, all applicable local, state and federal environmental laws and regulations, where the failure to comply with such would have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.7 Insurance.  The Company will maintain liability, casualty, and other insurance (subject to customary deductions and retentions) with responsible insurance companies against such risk of the types and in the amounts customarily maintained by companies of comparable size and in lines of business of the Company.

4.8 Sales by Investors.  Each Investor will sell any Common Shares sold by it in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, or otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. No Investor will make any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Common Shares in violation of federal or state securities laws.

4.9 Pledge of Common Shares.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Common Shares may be pledged by an Investor in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Common Shares. The pledge of Common Shares shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Common Shares hereunder, and no Investor effecting a pledge of Common Shares shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement; provided that an Investor and its pledgee shall be required to comply with the provisions of Section 2.6 hereof in order to effect a sale, transfer or assignment of Common Shares to such pledgee. The Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Common Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Common Shares to such pledgee by an Investor.

4.10 Disclosure of Transactions and Other Material Information.  The Company shall not, and shall cause each Subsidiary and each of its respective officers, directors, employees and agents, not to, provide any Investor with any material nonpublic information regarding the Company or any Subsidiary from and after the Closing Date without the express written consent of such Investor. In the event of a breach of the foregoing covenant by the Company, any Subsidiary, or each of its respective officers, directors, employees and agents, in addition to any other remedy provided herein or in the Transaction Documents, such Investor shall have the right to demand that the Company make a public disclosure, and if the Company

16

fails to do so within five business days, the Investor may make a public disclosure, in the form of a press release, public advertisement or otherwise, of such material nonpublic information without the prior approval by the Company, each Subsidiary, or each of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents. In such event, such Investor shall provide a copy of such public disclosure to the Company at least one day prior to the dissemination of such disclosure to the public. No Investor shall have any liability to the Company, any Subsidiary, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders or agents for any such disclosure unless such Investor acts with negligence or willful misconduct. Subject to the foregoing, neither the Company nor any Investor shall issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior approval of the other party; which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any Investor, to make any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions in a Current Report on Form 8-K in compliance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, and as may otherwise be required by applicable law and regulations (provided that each Investor shall be provided a copy of any proposed press release to be issued by the Company at least one day prior to its release).

4.11 Amendment to Rights Agreement.  Without the prior written consent of the Investors (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Company shall not, from and after the Closing Date, rescind, revoke or amend the Amendment to Rights Agreement (as defined below) to decrease the percentage of Common Shares of which Xxxxxx X. Mahaylo, together with his Associates and Affiliates, can be the Beneficial Owner without becoming an Acquiring Person (as such capitalized terms are defined therein).

4.12 Investors’ Filings.  Each Investor will file all reports required to be filed by such Investor with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act or related federal or state securities laws as a result of such Investor’s ownership of Common Shares, including but not limited to Forms 3, 4 and 5, and will promptly provide copies to the Company of any Schedule 13D or G filed by such Investor.

ARTICLE V

TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS; REMOVAL OF LEGENDS

5.1 Issuance of Certificates.  The Company shall instruct its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name of each Investor or its nominee, for Common Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Investor to the Company. All such certificates will bear the restrictive legend described in Section 2.7, except as otherwise specified in this Article V. Nothing in this Section 5.1 will affect in any way the Investors’ obligations and agreement set forth in Section 2.7 hereof to comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon resale of the Common Shares.

5.2 Unrestricted Common Shares.  If, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws, (a) the resale of the Common Shares represented by a certificate has been registered under an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, (b) a holder of Common Shares provides the Company and the Transfer Agent with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that a public sale

17

or transfer of such Common Shares may be made without registration under the Securities Act and such sale either has occurred or may occur without restriction on the manner of such sale or transfer, (c) such holder provides the Company and the Transfer Agent with reasonable assurances that such Common Shares can be sold under Rule 144, or (d) the Common Shares represented by a certificate can be sold without restriction as to the number of securities sold under Rule 144(k), the Company will permit the transfer of the Common Shares, and the Transfer Agent will issue one or more certificates, free from any restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by such holder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Common Shares may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement; provided that such pledge will not alter the provisions of this Article V with respect to the removal of restrictive legends.

5.3 Enforcement of Provision.  The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to each Investor by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Article V will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that each Investor will be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

10.16 Equitable Relief.  The Company recognizes that, if it fails to perform or discharge any of its obligations under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Investors. The Company therefore agrees that the Investors are entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

10.17 Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights.  The obligations of each Investor under any of this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Investor to purchase Common Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by each Investor independently of any other Investor. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Document. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for the Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no other Investor will be acting as agent of the Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Common Shares or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Investor has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Investors with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Investors.
