The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures as of the last day of the fiscal quarter covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed Form 10-K or Form 10-Q the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date.

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).

(w) Certain Fees. 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 this Agreement. Purchaser 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 that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(gg) Acknowledgment Regarding Purchaser’s Purchase of Company Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company further acknowledges that Purchaser is not 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 hereby and thereby and any advice given by Purchaser or any of its representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Document and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to Purchaser’s purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to Purchaser that the Company’s decision to enter into the Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.

3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows:

(a) Organization; Authority. Purchaser is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the applicable Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, on the part of Purchaser. Each of this

Agreement and the 2004 Registration Rights Agreement has been duly executed by Purchaser, and when delivered by Purchaser in accordance with terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

(b) Investment Intent. 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, without prejudice, however, to Purchaser’s right, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or under an exemption from such registration and otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by Purchaser to hold the Securities for any period of time. Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Purchaser does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the Securities.

(c) Purchaser Status. At the time Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and at the date hereof it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. Purchaser is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act.

(d) Experience of Purchaser. 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. 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. Purchaser has requested, received, reviewed and considered all information it deems relevant in making an informed decision to purchase the Securities.

(e) General Solicitation. Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement. At no time was the Purchaser presented with or solicited by any publicly issued or circulated newspaper, mail, radio, television, or to the Purchaser’s knowledge, any other form of general advertising or solicitation in connection with the offer, sale and purchase of the Securities.

(f) Registration Required. Purchaser hereby covenants with the Company not to, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer, or otherwise dispose of (or solicit offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take pledge of) any of the Securities without complying with the provisions hereof, the 2004 Registration Rights Agreement and the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, including without limitation, the prospectus delivery requirement under the Securities Act to be satisfied (unless Purchaser is selling such Securities in a transaction not subject to the prospectus delivery requirement), and Purchaser acknowledges that the

certificates evidencing the Shares will be imprinted with a legend that prohibits their transfer except in accordance therewith.

(g) Access to Information. Purchaser acknowledges that it has reviewed the Disclosure Materials and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect Purchaser’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Disclosure Materials and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents.

(h) Certain Fees. Except for the fees that will be payable by the Company under Section 3.1(w), Purchaser has not entered into any agreement or arrangement that would entitle any broker or finder to compensation by the Company in connection with the sale of the Company Securities to Purchaser

(i) No Tax, Legal or Investment Advice. Purchaser understands that nothing in the Transaction Documents or any other materials presented to Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities constitutes tax, legal, or investment advice. Purchaser has consulted such tax, legal, and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of Securities.

(j) Certain Sales; Regulation M. Purchaser represents and warrants that it is aware of the following Telephone Interpretation in the SEC Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations (July 1997):

A.65. Section 5

An issuer filed a Form S-3 registration statement for a secondary offering of common stock which is not yet effective. One of the selling shareholders wanted to do a short sale of common stock “against the box” and cover the short sale with registered shares after the effective date. The issuer was advised that the short sale could not be made before the registration statement becomes effective, because the shares underlying the short sale are deemed to be sold at the time such sale is made. There would, therefore, be a violation of Section 5 if the shares were effectively sold prior to the effective date.

(k) In addition, Purchaser acknowledges that (i) the Company has informed Purchaser that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M under the Exchange Act

may apply to purchases and sales of Shares and that there are restrictions on market making activities by persons engaged in the distribution of Shares and (ii) the Company has advised Purchaser to consult with its counsel regarding such matters.

(l) Broker-Dealer Status. Purchaser is not and is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer pursuant to the Exchange Act.

(m) Purchase or Sale of Common Stock. Neither Purchaser nor any person acting on its behalf or at its direction has engaged in any purchase or sale of Common Stock (including without limitation any short sale of the Common Stock, or pledge or transfer of, or establishment or maintenance of an open “put equivalent position” (within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) with respect to, any of the Securities) during the during the period beginning on the date on which the Company first contacted Purchaser regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and ending on the Closing Date.

(n) Reliance. Purchaser understands and acknowledges that (i) the Securities are being offered and sold to it without registration under the Securities Act in a private placement that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and (ii)the availability of such exemption, depends in part on, and the Company will rely upon the accuracy and truthfulness of, the foregoing representations and warranties and Purchaser hereby consents to such reliance.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser does not make or has not made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in this Section 3.2.

ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

4.1 Transfer Restrictions.

(a) The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws, including pursuant to an exemption therefrom. In connection with any transfer of the Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, pursuant to paragraph (k) of Rule 144, to the Company, to an Affiliate of Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the 2004 Registration Rights Agreement and, if such transfer is a transfer of at least 5,000 shares of Common Stock, shall have the rights of Purchaser under this Agreement and the 2004 Registration Rights Agreement.

(b) Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1(b), of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, Purchaser may from time to time pledge and/or grant a security interest pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement in a bona fide margin account and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, agreement or account, Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. However, at the discretion of the Company, such legal opinion may be required in connection with a subsequent transfer following default by the Purchaser transferee of the pledge. No notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including, if the Securities are subject to registration pursuant to the 2004 Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholder(s) thereunder.

(c) Certificates evidencing the Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b)), (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Shares are eligible for sale or are sold under Rule 144(k), or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the Commission). Promptly following effectiveness of a registration statement contemplated under clause (i) of this Section 4.1(c), the Company shall, or shall cause its counsel to, deliver to the Company’s transfer agent written notice that such a registration statement is effective, and that such

Shares may be sold pursuant thereto by Purchaser without any legend. In addition, in the case of clause (ii) of this Section 4.1(c), the Company shall, if requested by its transfer agent, direct the Company’s counsel to issue a legal opinion to such transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder and, if required by the Company’s transfer agent, such legal opinion need not be issued until the Company’s transfer agent has first received a copy of the Purchaser’s broker representation letter relating to the Purchaser’s Shares. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than four Trading Days following the delivery by Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Shares with a restrictive legend, direct the transfer agent to deliver to Purchaser a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section.

(d) Purchaser agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon (i) the Company’s reliance that the Purchaser will sell any Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and/or (ii) that in the context of a sale under Rule 144, if requested by the Company’s transfer agent, the Purchaser shall have delivered to the transfer agent a broker representation letter relating to the Purchaser’s Shares.

4.2 Furnishing of Information. As long as Purchaser owns the 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 pursuant to the Exchange Act. Upon the request of any such holder of Securities, the Company shall deliver to such holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with the preceding sentence unless such statement has been included in the Company’s most recent report filed pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Prior to the registration of the re-sale of the Securities (the “Effectiveness Period”), as long as Purchaser owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchaser and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Purchaser to sell the Securities under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action during the Effectiveness Period 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 limitation of the exemptions 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 in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchaser or 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 stockholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

4.4 [Intentionally Omitted.]

4.5 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall, within five Business Days of the date of this Agreement, issue a press release and file a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the transactions contemplated hereby and the material terms thereof and make such other filings and notices in the manner and time required by the Commission. The Company shall, within five Business Days of the date hereof, file a Current Report on Form 8-K including each of the Transaction Documents as exhibits.

4.6 Stockholders Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or any other Person that Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any stockholders rights plan or similar plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that 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 Purchaser.

4.7 Non-Public Information. The Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

4.8 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder to purchase certain assets of the Sellers pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2006, by and among the Company, CLRT Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Sellers, to fund transaction expenses related thereto and for general corporate purposes.

4.9 Reimbursement. If 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 Purchaser to or with any current stockholder), solely as a result of Purchaser’s acquisition of the Securities under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse 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; provided, that the Company shall only be required to reimburse Purchaser pursuant to this Section 4.9 with respect to a Proceeding in which (i) the Proceeding primarily results from the Company’s breach of the terms of this Agreement and (ii) the Proceeding does not primarily result from any action in violation of the terms of this Agreement or other wrongful acts by the Purchaser requesting reimbursement. 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 Purchaser 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 Purchaser 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 Purchaser and any such Affiliate and any such Person. The Company also agrees that neither the Purchaser 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.

4.10 Reservation of Common Stock. As of the Closing Date, the Company shall have 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 to issue Warrant Shares pursuant to the Warrants.

4.11 Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on the Trading Market, and as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing (but not later than the earlier of the Effective Date and the first anniversary of the Closing Date) to list all of the Shares and the Warrant Shares on the 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 will take such other action as is necessary or desirable in the opinion of the Purchaser to cause the Shares and the Warrant Shares to be listed on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market.
