lapse of time or both, would result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary under),
nor has the Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that
it is in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit
agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any
of its properties is bound (whether or not such default or violation has been waived), (ii)
is in violation of any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body, or (iii) is or
has been in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority,
including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws applicable to its
business and all such laws that affect the environment, except in each case as would not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(m) Regulatory Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all
certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or
foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as
12
described
in the SEC Reports, except where the failure to possess such permits would not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material Permits”), and neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the
revocation or modification of any Material Permit.
(n) Title to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable
title in fee simple to all real property owned by them that is material to the business of
the Company and the Subsidiaries and good and marketable title in all personal property
owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries, in each
case free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens as do not materially affect the value of
such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of
such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries and Liens for the payment of federal,
state or other taxes, the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties.
Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are
held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with which the Company and the
Subsidiaries are in compliance.
(o) Patents and Trademarks. The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have
rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service
marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual
property rights and similar rights necessary or material for use in connection with their
respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports and which the failure to so would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the
“Intellectual Property Rights”). Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has
received a notice (written or otherwise) that the Intellectual Property Rights used by the
Company or any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of any Person. To the
knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is
no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The
Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy,
confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except where failure to
do so would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
(p) Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of
recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as
are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries
are engaged, including, but not limited to, directors and officers insurance coverage at
least equal to the aggregate Subscription Amount. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
has any 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 without a significant increase in cost.
(q) Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in the SEC
Reports, none of the officers or directors of the Company and, to the knowledge of the
Company, none of the employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with
the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for services as employees,
13
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 such employee or,
to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such
employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner, in each
case in excess of $60,000 other than (i) for payment of salary or consulting fees for
services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company and
(iii) for other employee benefits, including stock option agreements under any stock option
plan of the Company.
(r) Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx; Internal Accounting Controls. The Company is in material
compliance with all provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 which are applicable to it
as of the Closing Date. The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal
accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are
executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii)
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is
permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv)
the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable
intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. 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 required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it
files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported,
within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. The Company’s
certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls
and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the Company’s 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 changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
(as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
(s) Certain Fees. Except as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement, no
brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company to any
broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or
other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
The Purchasers shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any
claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section
3.1(s) that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents.
(t) Investment Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and
immediately after receipt of payment for the Securities, will not be or be an Affiliate of,
14
an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become
subject to the Investment Company Act.
(u) Registration Rights. Except as described in the SEC Reports, no Person has
any right to cause the Company to effect the registration under the Securities Act of any
securities of the Company.
(v) Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Company’s Common Stock is
registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken
no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of,
terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company
received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating such
registration. The Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received
notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to
the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance
requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it
will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and
maintenance requirements.
(w) Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and its Board 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 Certificate of Incorporation (or
similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become
applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers 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 the Purchasers’
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 the Purchasers or
their 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. The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers
will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities of
the Company. All disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers
regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby with respect to
the representations and warranties made herein are true and correct with respect to such
representations and warranties and do 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. The Company
acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any representations or
warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those
specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.
15
(y) Trading Market Compliance. Neither the Company, nor any of its
Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made
any sales of any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the
Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any
applicable shareholder approval provisions of any Trading Market on which any of the
securities of the Company are listed or designated.
(z) Solvency. Based on the financial condition of the Company as of the
Closing Date after giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale
of the Securities hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds the
amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and
other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature; (ii) the
Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as
now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into
account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and
projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (iii) the current cash
flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to
liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash,
would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when such amounts
are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to
pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be
payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or
circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation
under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the
Closing Date. The SEC Reports set forth as of the dates thereof all outstanding secured and
unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any
Subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness”
shall mean (a) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000
(other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business), (b) all
guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of Indebtedness of
others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s balance sheet
(or the notes thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for
deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (c)
the present value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be
capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default
with respect to any Indebtedness.
(aa) Tax Status. Except for matters that would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the
Company and each Subsidiary has filed all necessary federal, state and foreign income and
franchise tax returns and has paid or accrued all taxes shown as due thereon, and the
Company has no knowledge of a tax deficiency which has been asserted or threatened against
the Company or any Subsidiary.
(bb) Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries, nor to the knowledge of the Company, any agent or other person acting on
behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, has (i) directly or indirectly, used any
16
funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses
related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign
or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political
parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution
made by the Company (or made by any person acting on its behalf of which the Company is
aware) which is in violation of law, or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision
of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.
(cc) Accountants. The Company’s accountants are identified in the Prospectus
or Prospectus Supplement. To the knowledge of the Company, such accountants, who the
Company expects will express their opinion with respect to the financial statements to be
included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2007,
are a registered public accounting firm as required by the Securities Act.
(dd) Acknowledgment Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities. The Company
acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers 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 no Purchaser is 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
any Purchaser or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the
Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental to the
Purchasers’ purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each Purchaser
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 Purchasers’ Trading Activity. Anything in this
Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding (except for Sections 3.2(e)
and 4.14 hereof), it is understood and acknowledged by the Company (i) that none of the
Purchasers have been asked to agree, nor has any Purchaser 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 any Purchaser, including Short
Sales, and specifically including, without limitation, Short Sales or “derivative”
transactions, before or after the closing of this or future private placement transactions,
may negatively impact the market price of the Company’s publicly-traded securities; (iii)
that any Purchaser, and counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to which any such
Purchaser is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the
Common Stock, and (iv) that each Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with
or control over any arm’s length counter-party in any “derivative” transaction. The Company
further understands and acknowledges that (a) one or more Purchasers may engage in hedging
activities at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding,
including, without limitation, during the periods that the value of the Warrant Shares
deliverable with respect to the exercise of the Warrant are being
17
determined and (b) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the
existing stockholders’ equity interests in the Company at and after the time that the
hedging activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned
hedging activities do not constitute a breach of any of the Transaction Documents.
(ff) Regulation M Compliance. The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one
acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or
to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company
to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased,
or, paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities, or (iii) paid
or agreed to pay to any person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other
securities of the Company, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), compensation
paid to the Company’s placement agent in connection with the placement of the Securities.
3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser hereby, for
itself and for no other Purchaser, represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the
Closing Date to the Company as follows:
(a) Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is an entity duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization
with full right, corporate 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
such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate or similar action on the part of such Purchaser. Each
Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and
when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the
valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, 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. Such Purchaser 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 such
Purchaser’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. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its
business.
18
(c) Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities,
it was, and at the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises any Warrants,
it will be 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. Such Purchaser is not required to be
registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act.
(d) Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, 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.
Such Purchaser 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.
(e) Short Sales and Confidentiality Prior To The Date Hereof. Other than the
transaction contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not directly or indirectly, nor has
any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser,
executed any disposition, including Short Sales, in the securities of the Company during the
period commencing from the time that such Purchaser 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”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment
vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s
assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made
by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the
representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets
managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the
Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement,
such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in
connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Transfer Restrictions. If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time
when there is an effective registration statement to cover the issuance or resale of the Warrant
Shares, such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends. If at any time following the date
hereof the Registration Statement (or any subsequent registration statement registering the Warrant
Shares) is not effective or is not otherwise available for the sale or resale of the Warrant
Shares, the Company shall immediately notify the holders of the Warrants in writing that such
registration statement is not then effective and thereafter shall promptly notify such holders when
the registration statement is effective again and available for the sale or resale of the
Warrant Shares.
4.2 Furnishing of Information. As long as any Purchaser owns Securities, the Company
covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable
grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof
19
pursuant to the
Exchange Act. As long as any Purchaser owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file
reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and make
publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the
Purchasers to sell the Securities under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take
such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, to the extent required from
time to time to enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration under the
Securities Act within the requirements of the exemption provided by Rule 144.
4.3 Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy
or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act)
that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and
regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the
closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of
such subsequent transaction.
4.4 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall, by 9:30 a.m. (New York
City time) on the Trading Day immediately following the date hereof, issue a Current Report on Form
8-K, disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall attach this
Agreement and the form of Warrant thereto. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each
other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and
neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such
public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any
Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the
Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is
required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with
prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any
filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written
consent of such Purchaser, 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 the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this
subclause (ii).
4.5 Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or,
with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person”
under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution
under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter
adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such
plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any
other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.
4.6 Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions
of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company covenants and agrees
that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its
20
agents
or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public
information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding
the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each
Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities
of the Company.
4.7 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the
Securities hereunder as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement and not for the satisfaction of any
portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of the
Company’s business and prior practices), to redeem any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or
to settle any outstanding litigation.
4.8 Reimbursement. If any Purchaser becomes involved in any capacity in any
Proceeding by or against any Person who is a stockholder of the Company (except as a result of
sales, pledges, margin sales and similar transactions by such Purchaser to or with any other
stockholder), solely as a result of such Purchaser’s acquisition of the Securities under this
Agreement, the Company will reimburse such Purchaser for its reasonable legal and other expenses
(including the cost of any investigation preparation and travel in connection therewith) incurred
in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred. The reimbursement obligations of the
Company under this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise
have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to any Affiliates of the Purchasers who are
actually named in such action, proceeding or investigation, and partners, directors, agents,
employees and controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of the Purchasers and any such
Affiliate, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and
personal representatives of the Company, the Purchasers and any such Affiliate and any such Person.
The Company also agrees that neither the Purchasers nor any such Affiliates, partners, directors,
agents, employees or controlling persons shall have any liability to the Company or any Person
asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company solely as a result of acquiring the
Securities under this Agreement, except if such claim arises primarily from a breach of such
Purchaser’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any
agreements or understandings such Purchaser may have with any
such stockholder or any violations by the Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any
conduct by such Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or
malfeasance.
4.9 Indemnification of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.9,
the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders,
members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role
of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each
Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and
Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members,
partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person
holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling
persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities,
obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts
paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any
such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the
21
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in
the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against a Purchaser, or any of them or
their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such
Purchaser, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents
(unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser’s representations, warranties or
covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser may
have with any such stockholder or any violations by the Purchaser of state or federal securities
laws or any conduct by such Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct
or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which
indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser 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 the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser 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 Purchaser 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 Purchaser 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 any
Purchaser Party under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by a Purchaser 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 any
Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by
such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.
4.10 Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and
the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company
to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement and Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the
Warrants.
4.11 Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use best efforts to maintain
the listing of the Common Stock on a Trading Market, and as soon as reasonably practicable
following the Closing (but not later than the Closing Date) to list all of the Shares and Warrant
Shares on such Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the
Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will include in such application all of the
Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the
Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The
Company will take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common
Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and
other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market.
4.12 Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any
Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the
22
Transaction
Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction
Documents. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each
Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended to treat for
the Company the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers
acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities
or otherwise.
4.13 Participation in Future Financing.
(a) Subject to the pre-emptive rights by purchaser under that certain Unit Purchase
Agreement, dated as February 20, 2007 and subject to the terms of this Section 4.13, from
the date hereof until the date that is the 9 month anniversary of the Closing Date, upon
any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents (a “Subsequent Financing”), each Purchaser shall have the right to
participate in up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing equal to 25% of the Subsequent
Financing (the “Participation Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions and price
provided for in the Subsequent Financing, unless the Subsequent Financing is a registered
public offering, in which case the Company shall offer each Purchaser the right to
participate in such public offering when it is lawful for the Company to do so, but no
Purchaser shall be entitled to purchase any particular amount of such public offering.
(b) At least 5 Trading Days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the
Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a written notice of its intention to effect a
Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall ask such Purchaser if it
wants to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent
Financing Notice”). Upon the request of a Purchaser, and only upon a request by such
Purchaser, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no later than
1 Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to such Purchaser.
The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the
proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be
raised thereunder, the Person or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is
proposed to be effected, and attached to which shall be a term sheet or similar document
relating thereto.
(c) Any Purchaser desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide
written notice to the Company by not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the
5th Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice that the
Purchaser is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of the
Purchaser’s participation, and that the Purchaser has such funds ready, willing, and
available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If the
Company receives no notice from a Purchaser as of such 5th Trading Day, such
Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to
participate.
(d) If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 5th Trading Day after all of
the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, notifications by the Purchasers of their
willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause their designees to
participate) is, in the aggregate, less than the total amount of the Subsequent Financing,
23
then the Company may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms
and with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.
(e) If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 5th Trading Day after all of
the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, the Company receives responses to a Subsequent
Financing Notice from Purchasers seeking to purchase more than the aggregate amount of the
Participation Maximum, each such Purchaser shall have the right to purchase the greater of
(a) their Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Participation Maximum and (b) the
difference between the Participation Maximum and the aggregate amount of participation by
all other Purchasers. “Pro Rata Portion” is the ratio of (x) the Subscription
Amount of Securities purchased on the Closing Date by a Purchaser participating under this
Section 4.13 and (y) the sum of the aggregate Subscription Amounts of Securities purchased
on the Closing Date by all Purchasers participating under this Section 4.13.
(f) The Company must provide the Purchasers with a second Subsequent Financing Notice,
and the Purchasers will again have the right of participation set forth above in this
Section 4.13, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice
is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice
within 60 Trading Days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.13 shall not apply in respect of an
Exempt Issuance.
4.14 Subsequent Equity Sales.
(a) From the date hereof until 60 days after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor
any Subsidiary shall issue shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents; provided, however, the 60 day period set forth in this Section 4.14 shall
be extended for the number of Trading Days during such period in which trading in the Common
Stock is suspended by any Trading Market, or following the Closing Date, the Registration
Statement is not effective or the Prospectus may not be used by the Purchasers for the
purchase of Warrant Shares.
(b) From the date hereof until the one year anniversary of the date hereof, the Company
shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any Subsequent
Financing involving a “Variable Rate Transaction”. The term “Variable Rate
Transaction” shall mean a transaction in which the Company issues or sells (i) any debt
or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include
the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion, exercise
or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of
or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such
debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is
subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity
security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly
related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock
24
or (ii) enters
into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the
Company may sell securities at a future determined price. Any Purchaser shall be entitled
to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy
shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.14 shall not apply in respect of an
Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance.
4.15 Short Sales and Confidentiality After The Date Hereof. Each Purchaser severally
and not jointly with the other Purchasers covenants that neither it nor any Affiliate acting on its
behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any Short Sales during the period
commencing at the Discussion Time and ending at the time that the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are first publicly announced as described in Section 4.4. Each Purchaser, severally and
not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company as described in Section 4.4,
such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby
that it will not engage in Short Sales in the securities of the Company after the time that the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced as described in Section
4.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment
vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and
the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio
managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall
only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the
investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.
4.16 Delivery of Securities After Closing. The Company shall deliver, or cause to be
delivered, the respective Securities purchased by each Purchaser to such Purchaser within 3 Trading
Days of the Closing Date.
4.17 Capital Changes. Until the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company
shall not undertake a reverse or forward stock split or reclassification of the Common Stock
without the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding a majority in interest of the Shares or
if reasonably required in order to maintain a listing of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global
Market.
ARTICLE V.
MISCELLANEOUS
MISCELLANEOUS
5.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such
Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations between
the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has
not been consummated on or before June 29, 2007; provided, however, that no such
termination will affect the right of any party to xxx for any breach by the other party (or
parties).
25
5.2 Fees and Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to
the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and

preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all
transfer agent fees, stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery
of any Securities to the Purchasers.
5.3 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and
schedules thereto, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement contain the entire understanding of
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have
been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.
5.4 Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or
permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on
the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via
facsimile at the facsimile number set forth on the signature pages attached hereto prior to 5:30
p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the date of

5.5 Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended
except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and each
Purchaser or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any
such waived provision is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision,
condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future
or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement
hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner
impair the exercise of any such right.
5.6 Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part
of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
5.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this
Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each
Purchaser (other than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this
Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided such
transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the
provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers”.
5.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of,
26
nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in
Section 4.9.
5.9 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement
and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of
conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the
interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any
other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates,
directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state
and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of
Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of
any of the Transaction Documents), and 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 any
such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such
proceeding. 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. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury. If either party shall commence an
action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing
party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable
attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and
prosecution of such action or proceeding.
5.10 Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the
Closing and the delivery of the Shares and Warrant Shares.
5.11 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more 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. 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.
5.12 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,
27
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.
5.13 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 any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction
Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein
provided, then such Purchaser 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.
5.14 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.
5.15 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein
or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers 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.
5.16 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to
any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights
thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any
part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside,
recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the
Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any
bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent
of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such
enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
5.17 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of
each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any
other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or
non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing
contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser
pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a
joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the
28
Purchasers are in any
way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser 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
Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser
has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the
Transaction Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, Purchasers and their
respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through FWS. FWS does not represent
all of the Purchasers but only Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, LLC, who has acted as placement agent to the
transaction. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers 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 Purchasers.
5.18 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.
5.19 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.
