The
Seller hereby confirms its agreement with Selling Agent as follows:
1. Offer and Sale of Offered
Securities by Selling Agent; Compensation; Closing.
1.1 On
the basis of Selling Agent’s representations, covenants and warranties, the
Seller appoints Selling Agent the non-exclusive agent of the Seller for the
period commencing on the date of the completion of the Offering Document and
ending on
1
May 31,
2008; unless extended by the Seller and Selling Agent by their mutual agreement
for a period not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days (“Offering Termination
Date”), to use Selling Agent’s best efforts to offer and sell, on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement (and the Term Sheet attached hereto as
Exhibit A) and
in the Offering Document, subject only to Selling Agent’s right to engage
participating broker-dealers pursuant to Section 2 hereof. The
Selling Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees pursuant to the terms
and conditions set forth herein and in the Offering Document to use its best
efforts to offer and sell the Offered Securities as agent for the Seller during
the period specified above, and to attempt to find suitable accredited
purchasers for the Offered Securities acceptable to the
Seller.
1.2
Prior to
and subject to the closing, subscription proceeds from the sale of the Offered
Securities will be deposited in an escrow account with an escrow agent to be
mutually agreeable to Seller and the Selling Agent (the “Escrow
Agent”). The Seller will be responsible for setting up the Escrow
Account, pursuant to an escrow agreement among the Seller, the Selling Agent and
the Escrow Agent, which escrow agreement will be approved by the Selling
Agent. Subscribers will be instructed to make their checks payable to
the Escrow Agent for the benefit of PERFORMANCE HEALTH TECHNOLOGIES, INC., or
shall cause the wire transfer of immediately available funds in favor of the
Escrow Agent for PERFORMANCE HEALTH TECHNOLOGIES, INC., in accordance with
instructions provided by the Selling Agent. At the end of the
Offering Period (as the same may be extended by the mutual agreement of the
Selling Agent and the Seller), a closing (the “ Closing”) will occur as soon as
possible after subscriptions have been accepted by the Seller and all other
conditions precedent to closing have occurred to the sole satisfaction of the
Selling Agent.
1.3 For purposes hereof, the
Offered Securities shall not be deemed to have been sold unless (x) subscription
agreements, completed and fully executed by subscribers who are accredited
investors have been received covering the Offered Securities and (y) all checks,
drafts and wire transfers submitted by such subscribers in payment of the
purchase price of such Common Stock have been received by the Escrow Agent and
have cleared so that there are “good funds” in the Escrow Account at least equal
to the aggregate purchase price of the Offered Securities.
1.4 As
compensation for the Selling Agent’s services hereunder, the Seller shall pay to
Selling Agent in cash a selling commission (“Commission”) upon the Closing, in
an amount equal to Twelve percent (12%) of the aggregate offering price of the
Offered Securities sold by the Selling Agent or its authorized agent at such
Closing. At the Closing of the Offering, the Seller shall pay the
Selling Agent its Commission relating to the sale of the Offered Securities that
are subject of the Closing provided that the Seller or counsel for the Seller
has received all documents, including but not limited to, an executed
Subscription Agreement for each investor (“Subscription Documents”) previously
furnished to Selling Agent which the Selling Agent is required to deliver to the
Seller or counsel for the Seller prior to Closing. All or any portion
of such Commission may be re-allowed to Participating
2
Broker-Dealers
(as hereinafter defined). No Offered Securities shall be considered
to have been sold by Selling Agent or any Participating Broker-Dealer selected
by Selling Agent unless the purchaser is acceptable to the Seller, and no
compensation will be payable with respect to any agreement for the purchase of
Offered Securities if the Subscription Agreement therefor is not actually
accepted by the Seller. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Seller shall not be required to pay a Commission to Selling
Agent and Selling Agent shall not be entitled to a Commission, pursuant to this
Section 1.4 or any other provision, if to do so would cause the Seller to
violate federal or state securities laws, regulations or rules or any other law
applicable to the Offering.
1.5
The Seller will pay all of its costs relating to the Offering contemplated
hereby, including, without limitation, audit expenses, issuance costs and taxes,
counsel fees for the preparation of the Offering Documents, filing fees and
disbursements of counsel relating to the qualification of the Offered Securities
under federal securities laws, and legal fees and expenses of counsel in
connection with qualifying the Offered Securities under the state blue sky
laws. To the extent required by law, the Seller shall qualify the
Offered Securities for offer and sale in those jurisdictions designated by the
Selling Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Seller. The Seller’s
counsel shall be responsible for state blue sky securities laws compliance by
the Seller.
1.6
The
Seller shall pay the Selling Agent at each Closing a non-accountable expense
allowance (the “Expense Allowance”) of 3.0% of the aggregate dollar value of the
Offered Securities sold at such Closing. In addition, the Company
will pay a $100,000 pre-marketing fee to the Agent. $75,000 of which
will be paid upon the signing of the agreement. The remaining $25,000
will be paid at the final closing of the Offering.
1.7
Once the
Offered Securities are sold, or the Offering Period terminates, the agency
between the Seller and the Selling Agent shall terminate. The Selling
Agent, on the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but
subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, accepts such appointment
as the limited agent of the Seller and agrees to use its best efforts to find
purchasers for the Offered Securities.
1.8
Upon each
Closing of the sale of the Offered Securities, the Agent shall receive warrants
(“Agent Warrants”) to purchase that number of shares of common stock of the
Company that is equal to 10% of the number of shares of common stock of the
Company issuable upon conversion of all of the Convertible Notes sold on the
Closing date calculated assuming all Convertible Notes sold on such Closing date
are converted into shares of common stock of the Company as of the Closing date
at a purchase price equal to the Conversion Price (as defined in the Term Sheet
attached as Exhibit A hereto) calculated as of such Closing date (the “Warrant
Price”). The Agent Warrants shall be exercisable at any time during
the five years from the date of Closing at a price equal to the Warrant Price,
shall contain cash-less exercise provisions and shall have the same piggy-back
registration rights as the investors in the Offering.

registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the
Warrants and the common stock.

Broker-Dealers. The Seller hereby authorizes Selling Agent to
engage other qualified broker-dealers (the “Participating Broker-Dealers”) to
assist the Selling Agent in the placement of the Offered Securities; provided

sell the Offered Securities, each such Participating Broker-Dealer shall be
registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
“1934 Act”), shall be a member in good standing of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”), and shall be authorized to offer and sell the
Offered Securities under the laws of the jurisdictions in which the Offered
Securities will be offered and sold by such Participating
Broker-Dealer. All Participating Broker-Dealers will be required to
execute a Participating Broker-Dealer Agreement, the form of which is subject to
the reasonable approval of the Seller, with Selling Agent containing
substantially the same terms and conditions as this Agreement, including,
without limitation, the representations and warranties contained in
Section 3.2 below and provisions for indemnification of the Seller to the

be subject, under the Acts or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
expenses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) which (i) arise
out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission or any alleged untrue
statement or omission in the Offering Document contained in or omitted from the
Offering Document in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information
furnished to the Seller by Selling Agent or any Participating Broker-Dealer or
either of them specifically for use in preparation of the Offering Document or

by, relating to, based upon, arising out of, or in connection with the violation
or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant or agreement of the
Selling Agent set forth in this Agreement or in any instrument, document,
agreement or certificate delivered by the Selling Agent in connection herewith);
and will reimburse the Seller Indemnified Parties for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending against any such loss, claim, expense, damage, liability, (or actions
in respect thereof); provided, however, that Selling Agent shall not be required

further that Selling Agent shall not be liable under this Section 7.2 for
any losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities arising out of any act or
failure to act on the part of any other person except Selling Agent, its

the Seller and shall survive consummation of the sale of the Offered Securities
hereunder and the termination of this Agreement, and shall be in addition to any
liability which Selling Agent may otherwise have. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in no event shall the amount that the Selling Agent is required to
indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties, exceed in the aggregate the
compensation received by the Selling Agent hereunder, except in the case of
fraud on the part of the Selling Agent.

7.3
The indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party in writing promptly
after the summons or other first legal process giving information of the nature
of any and all claims which have been served upon the indemnified
party. In case any action is brought against any indemnified party
upon any such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate at
its own expense in the defense, or if it so elects, in accordance with
arrangements satisfactory to any other indemnifying party or parties similarly
notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel who shall be satisfactory
to such indemnified party and other indemnified parties who are defendants in
such action; and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified
party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and the retaining of such
counsel by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to
such indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof, other than the reasonable costs of investigation, unless the
indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are or may be
defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those
available to the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall
not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the
indemnified party), in any of which circumstances such expenses shall be borne
by the indemnifying party.
