the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical

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, 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 brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or
proceeding is improper. 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
to such party at the address for such 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 manner
permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO
REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR
ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other
agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in
order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby.

with respect to such matters. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an
instrument in writing signed by the Company. No provision hereof may be waived other than by an
instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. 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 Transaction Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to all
of the parties to the Transaction Documents, holders of Notes or holders of the Warrants, as the
case may be. The Company has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with any of the

or to such other address and/or facsimile number and/or to the attention of such other Person as
the recipient party has specified by written notice given to each other party five (5) days prior
to the effectiveness of such change. Written confirmation of receipt (A) given by the recipient of
such notice, consent, waiver or other communication, (B) mechanically or electronically generated
by the sender’s facsimile machine containing the time, date, recipient facsimile number and an
image of the first page of such transmission or (C) provided by an overnight courier service shall
be rebuttable evidence of personal service, receipt by facsimile or receipt from an overnight
courier service in accordance with clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, respectively.
(j) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns in accordance with the terms of
the 2008 Securities Purchase Agreement.
(k) Survival. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 7, the
representations and warranties of the Company and the Investor contained herein and the agreements
and covenants set forth herein shall survive the Closing.
(l) Remedies. The Investor and each holder of the Securities shall have all rights
and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders
have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which
such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this
Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other
security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to
exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event
that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under this Agreement,
any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Investor. The Company therefore agrees
that the Investor shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such
case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.
(m) Indemnification.
12
(i) In consideration of the Investor’s execution and delivery of the Transaction
Documents, acquiring the Securities thereunder and entering into this Agreement and in
addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the
Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and each other
holder of the Securities and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers,
directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’
agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from
and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties,
fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether
any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought),
and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”),
incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any
misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the
Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby
or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained
in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated
hereby or thereby or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such
Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on
behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery,
performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument
or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed
in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the
Securities, (iii) any disclosure made by the Investor pursuant to Section 4(c), or (iv) the
status of the Investor or holder of the Securities as an investor in the Company pursuant to
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. To the extent that the
foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall
make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified
Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.
(ii) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 8(m) of notice of the
commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding)
involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim for indemnification in
respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 8(m),
deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the
indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed,
to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the
indemnifying party and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the
right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for
such Indemnitee to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of the
Indemnitee, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnitee and the indemnifying party
would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such
Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. Legal
counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the Investors
holding at least a
13
majority of the Exchanged Notes. The Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the
indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or
Indemnified Liabilities by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying
party all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee that relates to such action or
Indemnified Liabilities. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnitee fully apprised at
all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect
thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or
proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the
indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No
indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not
include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liabilities or
litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party
shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms
or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure
to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability
to the Indemnitee under this Section 8(m), except to the extent that the indemnifying party
is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
(iii) The indemnification required by this Section 8(m) shall be made by periodic
payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and
when bills are received or Indemnified Liabilities are incurred.
(iv) The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (x) any cause
of action or similar right of the Indemnitee against the indemnifying party or others, and
(y) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
