(i) Organization; Authority. The Purchaser is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder.

The Purchaser understands that the Securities are restricted and that the Purchaser must bear the economic risk of investment indefinitely unless the Securities are registered pursuant to the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or blue sky laws or an exemption from such registration is available. The Purchaser does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person or entity to distribute the Securities.

(iv) Purchaser Status. At the time the Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and at the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. The Purchaser is not a broker-dealer.

The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction where the nature of the business it conducts makes such qualification necessary and where the failure to do so would have any effect which, individually or in the aggregate with all other effects, reasonably would be expected to be materially adverse to (i) the Securities, (ii) the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (as defined herein), or (iii) the business, operations, properties, prospects, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, other than those effects occurring as a result of general domestic or international economic or financial conditions or general industry developments that affect the Company and other participants in the industry in the same general fashion (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

(ii) Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to issue the Exchange Preferred Stock and the Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Certificate of Designation and otherwise to

carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Exchange Certificate of Designation and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Exchange Preferred Stock and the issuance and reservation for issuance of the Conversion Shares) have been duly authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors. This Agreement and the Exchange Certificate of Designation have been duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company, in accordance with their terms.

(iii) Issuance of the Securities. The Securities, when issued at the Closing or upon conversion of the Exchange Preferred Stock, as applicable, (i) will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will be free and clear of all taxes, liens, options or other encumbrances of any nature, (ii) will not be subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, or other similar rights of stockholders of the Company or any other person (other than any such rights held by the holders of the Original Preferred Stock), or (iii) will not impose personal liability on the holder thereof.

(iv) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Exchange Certificate of Designation and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance and reservation for issuance, as applicable, of the Exchange Preferred Stock and Conversion Shares) will not, (i) result in a violation of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company is a party, or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including United States federal and state securities laws and regulations and rules or regulations of any self-regulatory organizations to which either the Company or its securities are subject) applicable to the Company or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, or (iii) require any consent or authorization of the Company’s stockholders (other than the holders of the Original Preferred Stock). The Company is not in violation of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or other organizational documents. The Company is not in default (and no event has occurred which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would put the Company in default) under, nor has there occurred any event giving others (with notice or lapse of time or both) any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company is a party except for such violations, defaults or events that have not and could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

From and after the Press Release, the Company hereby acknowledges that no Purchaser shall be in possession of any material nonpublic information received from the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents, that is not disclosed in the Press Release.

(h) Exculpation Among Purchasers; No “Group”. The Company acknowledges that the obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has independently evaluated the merits of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, that it has independently determined to enter into the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, that it is not relying on any advice from or evaluation by any other Purchaser, and that it is not acting in concert with any other Purchaser in making its purchase of securities hereunder or in monitoring its investment in the Company. The Purchasers and, to its knowledge, the Company agree that the no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or to the other Transaction Documents, 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 Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or would deem such Purchasers to be members of a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Purchasers have not agreed to act together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of equity securities of the Company. 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. The Company acknowledges that such procedure with respect to the Transaction Documents in no way creates a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a “group” for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser further acknowledges that BayStar Capital II, LP has retained Drinker Xxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP to act as its counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and that Drinker Xxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP has not acted as counsel for any of the other Purchasers in connection therewith and none of the other Purchasers have the status of a client of Drinker Xxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP for conflict of interest or other purposes as a result thereof.

(j) Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive so long as the Exchange Preferred Stock is outstanding, notwithstanding any due diligence investigation conducted by or on behalf of any Purchaser.
