(5) The Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient for issuance of all shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of all shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Shares”).
(6) The execution and delivery of this Agreement do not, and the compliance by the Company with the terms hereof will not, (i) violate the Certificate of Incorporation (as amended to date) of the Company or the By-Laws (as amended to date) of the Company, (ii) result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a material default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of their properties or assets are subject, or (iii) result in a violation of, or failure to be in compliance with, any applicable statute or any order, judgment, decree, rule or regulation of any court or governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their properties or assets, except where such breach, violation, default or the failure to be in compliance would not individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect or adversely affect the ability of the Company to issue and sell the Investor Shares; and no consent, approval, authorization, order, registration, filing or qualification of or with any such court or governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory agency or body is required for the valid authorization, execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement or the issuance of the Investor Shares, except for the filing of a Form 8-K, the filing of the Prospectus Supplement, the filing of the Certificate of Designations (which is required to be filed and

effective prior to the Closing in accordance with Section 3(b)(3) hereof), the filing of a Notification of Listing of Additional Shares with The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, and for such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations, filings or qualifications as may be required under state securities or “blue sky” laws.
(7) The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act. The Registration Statement, which covers the Investor Shares, including a form of prospectus and such amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement as may have been required prior to the date of this Agreement, has been prepared by the Company under the provisions of the Securities Act, has been filed with the Commission, has become effective and filed with the Commission and incorporates by reference documents which the Company has filed in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company has prepared a Prospectus Supplement to the prospectus included in the Registration Statement referred to above, setting forth the terms of the offering and sale of the Investor Shares and additional information concerning the Company and its business and will promptly file the Prospectus Supplement with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b). No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, or any part thereof, has been issued and served on the Company, and no proceedings for that purpose are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened by the Commission. The form of prospectus included in the Registration Statement as of the date hereof, as amended or supplemented from time to time (including the Prospectus Supplement), is referred to herein as the “Prospectus.” Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated (or deemed to be incorporated) by reference therein, and any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement or Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing after the execution hereof of any document with the Commission deemed to be incorporated by reference therein. As of the close of business on March 28, 2011, at least a number of shares of Common Stock and Series C Preferred Stock equal to the number of Investor Shares and Conversion Shares were available for issuance pursuant to the Registration Statement, which permits the issuance of the Investor Shares and the Conversion Shares in the manner contemplated by this Agreement.
Each part of the Registration Statement, when such part became or becomes effective, and the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, on the date of filing thereof with the Commission and at the date hereof and the date of the Closing, did or will in all material respects comply with all applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Each part of the Registration Statement, when such part became or becomes effective, did not or will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. The Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, on the date of filing thereof with the Commission, did not or will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The foregoing representations and warranties in this Section 4(b)(6) do not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance on and in conformity with information relating to the Investors furnished in writing to the Company by the Investors specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any
6
amendment or supplement thereto.
(8) The consolidated financial statements and financial schedules of the Company included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (except, with respect to the unaudited consolidated financial statements, for the footnotes and subject to customary audit adjustments) applied on a consistent basis, are consistent in all material respects with the books and records of the Company, and accurately present in all material respects the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flow of the Company and its subsidiaries as of and for the periods covered thereby.
(9) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has sustained since the respective dates of the latest audited financial statements included in the Registration Statement and Prospectus any material loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, otherwise than as disclosed in or contemplated by the Registration Statement and Prospectus; and, since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, there has not been any material change in the capital stock or long-term debt of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
(10) Other than as disclosed in the Prospectus, there are no legal, governmental or regulatory proceedings pending to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any material property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is the subject which, taking into account the likelihood of the outcome, the damages or other relief sought and other relevant factors, would individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or adversely affect the ability of the Company to issue and sell the Investor Shares, and no such proceedings are threatened in writing to the Company or, to the Company’s knowledge, have been contemplated by governmental or regulatory authorities or threatened by others.
(11) The Company and each of its subsidiaries have title to all the real property, and owns all other properties and assets, reflected as owned in the financial statements included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, subject to no lien, mortgage, pledge, charge or encumbrance of any kind except those, if any, reflected in such financial statements or disclosed in the Company’s SEC filings or exhibits thereto, in favor of the Investors in connection with the Facility Agreement and all amendments thereto, or which are not material to the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. The Company and each of its subsidiaries hold their respective leased real and personal properties under valid and binding leases, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect.
(12) The Company has filed all necessary federal and state income and franchise tax returns and has paid all taxes shown as due thereon or has filed all necessary extensions, and there is no tax deficiency that has been, or to the knowledge of the Company could reasonably be expected to be, asserted against the Company or any of its properties or assets that would in the aggregate or individually reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Affect.
7
(13) There are no holders of securities of the Company having preemptive rights to purchase Common Stock. There are no holders or beneficial owners of securities of the Company having rights to registration thereof whose securities have not been previously registered or who have not waived such rights with respect to the registration of the Company’s securities on the Registration Statement, except where the failure to obtain such waiver would not individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(14) The Company is not, and does not intend to conduct its business in a manner in which it would become, an “investment company” as defined in Section 3(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
5. Indemnification.
(a) Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Section 5, the Company covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Investors and their respective directors, officers, partners, managers, employees and agents (each, an “Investor Party”) from and against any and all Losses arising from claims by third parties resulting from, incurred in connection with or arising out of (but only to the extent of) (a) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Company contained herein or in the Exchange Agreement, or (b) the failure of the Company to perform any of the Company’s agreements, covenants or obligations contained herein or in the Exchange Agreement (other than if any such claim was a result of a breach by the Investor under this Agreement or in the Exchange Agreement). Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Section 5, the Investor covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company from and against (but only to the extent of) any and all Losses arising from claims by third parties resulting from, incurred in connection with or arising out of (but only to the extent of) (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of the Investor contained herein or in the Exchange Agreement, or (b) the failure of the Investor to perform any of the agreements, covenants or obligations of the Investor contained herein or in the Exchange Agreement. The term “Loss” or any similar term shall mean any and all damages, deficiencies, costs, claims, fines, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, expenses of investigation, interest, penalties, taxes, assessments, out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and auditors’ fees and disbursements, witness fees and court costs) but specifically excluding consequential, special, punitive, multiple and other similar damages. The party or parties being indemnified are referred to herein as the “Indemnitee” and the indemnifying party is referred to herein as the “Indemnitor.”
(b) Indemnification Procedure.
(1) Any party who receives notice of a potential claim that may, in the judgment of such party, result in a Loss shall use all reasonable efforts to provide the parties hereto notice thereof within fifteen (15) days of the filing or other written assertion of any such claim against the Indemnitee, provided that failure or delay or alleged delay in providing such notice shall not adversely affect such party’s right to indemnification hereunder, unless and then only to the extent that such failure or delay or alleged delay has resulted in actual prejudice to the Indemnitor, including, without limitation, by the expiration of a statute of limitations. In the event that any party shall incur or suffer any Losses in respect of which indemnification may be
8
sought by such party hereunder, the Indemnitee shall assert a claim for indemnification by written notice (a “Notice”) to the Indemnitor stating the nature and basis of such claim.
(2) If indemnification is sought, the Indemnitor shall, if necessary, retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, it being agreed that Xxxxxx LLP is satisfactory, and have the option (i) to conduct any proceedings or negotiations in connection therewith, (ii) to take all other steps to settle or defend any such claim (provided that the Indemnitor shall not settle any such claim without the consent of the Indemnitee which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (iii) to employ counsel to contest any such claim or liability in the name of the Indemnitee or otherwise. In any event, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate at its own expense and by its own counsel in any proceedings relating to any third party claim. The Indemnitor shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of the Notice, notify the Indemnitee of its intention to assume the defense of such claim. If (i) the Indemnitor shall decline to assume the defense of any such claim, (ii) the Indemnitor shall fail to notify the Indemnitee within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the Notice of the Indemnitor’s election to defend such claim or (iii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnitee, the representation by the same counsel of the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee would be inappropriate due to actual or potential material differing interests between such Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding, then in each such case the Indemnitor shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnitee and the Indemnitee shall, at the sole expense of the Indemnitor, defend against such claim; provided, that the Indemnitee may not settle such claim without the consent of the Indemnitor (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Indemnitor shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnitees, and such legal counsel shall be selected by the Investors. The reasonable expenses of all proceedings, contests or lawsuits in respect of such claims shall be borne and paid by the Indemnitor if the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder and the Indemnitor shall pay the Indemnitee, in immediately available funds, the amount of any Losses, within a reasonable time of the incurrence of such Losses. Regardless of which party shall assume the defense or negotiation of the settlement of the claim, the parties agree to cooperate fully with one another in connection therewith. Anything in this Section 5 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Indemnitor shall not, without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the Indemnitee or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee, a release from all liability in respect of such claim.
