The execution, delivery and performance of the Financing Agreements and the Escrow Agreement by the Company, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Certificates of Designation, and the 10 issuance of the Securities have not and will not (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both): (a) conflict with or violate, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, mortgage, indenture or instrument (including, without limitation, any stock option, employee stock purchase or similar plan or any employment or similar agreement) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party (including, without limitation, triggering the application of any change of control or similar provision (whether "single trigger" or "double trigger")); (b) violate any provision of the certificates of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (c) result in the creation of any material mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or result in the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or non-renewal of any material Permit applicable to the operations or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (d) result in a violation by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations of NASDAQ). The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries is not being conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity, which violation would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. The Company is not in violation of the listing requirements of NASDAQ or its listing agreement with Nasdaq. 2.12 LITIGATION.

The Company has obtained and maintains in full force and effect fire, casualty, directors' and officers' liability and other and liability insurance policies with recognized insurers with such coverages as are customary for companies in businesses similarly situated. The Company has not been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for and has no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that is not materially in excess of current levels. 2.15 MATERIAL CONTRACTS AND OBLIGATIONS.

SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS. Each Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company, as of the date of the Agreement and as of the Closing and the Additional Closing, but only with respect to such Purchaser, as follows: 3.1 AUTHORIZATION. All action on the part of such Purchaser necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of the Financing Agreements has been taken, and the Financing Agreements, when executed and delivered by the Purchaser, will constitute valid and binding obligations of Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditor's rights. 3.2 INVESTMENT. Purchaser (i) is acquiring the Series A Closing Shares, the Series A-1 Purchased Shares, the Additional Closing Shares (if any) and the Warrants, (ii) upon conversion of the Series A Closing Shares and the Additional Closing Shares (if any), will acquire the Conversion Stock then issuable upon conversion thereof. (iii) upon conversion of the Series A-1 Purchased Shares, will acquire the Series A-1 Conversion Stock then issuable upon conversion thereof and (iv) upon exercise of the Warrants, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof (each of the foregoing securities to be acquired by the Purchaser hereunder, or upon conversion or exercise of securities acquired hereunder, are collectively referred as the "SECURITIES"), for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act. Purchaser understands that the Securities to be purchased by Purchaser have not been and will not be (except as contemplated by the Investors' Rights Agreement) registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein. 16 3.3 EXPERIENCE; ACCREDITED INVESTOR. Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities and protecting its own interests in connection with such investment. Purchaser is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. 3.4 RULE 144. Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities are restricted securities within the meaning of applicable securities laws, have not been registered under the Securities Act, and must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state and other securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available. Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act that permit limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Securities will bear a legend reflecting these conditions on transferability thereof. 3.5 INFORMATION. Purchaser believes Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss the Company's business, management and financial affairs with the Company's management and an opportunity to review the Company's facilities. Purchaser represents and acknowledges that it believes it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company's officers, employees and directors regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities. Purchaser has sought such advice as Purchaser has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify any Purchaser's rights under this Agreement including, without limitation, the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement or the right of the Purchasers to rely thereon. 3.6 FURTHER LIMITATIONS ON DISPOSITIONS. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, Purchaser further agrees that, if at the time of any transfer of any Securities, such Securities shall not be registered under the Securities Act, prior to any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the holder or transferee furnish to the Company (i) such information as is appropriate to establish that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act; and (ii) at the expense of the holder or transferee, an opinion by legal counsel designated by such holder or transferee and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act. No such opinion of the Counsel shall be necessary for any transfer to any person or entity that is deemed to be an "affiliate" of the Purchaser for purposes of the Securities Act, if the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if the transferee were an original Purchaser hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Securities may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan secured by the Securities and such pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Purchaser effecting a pledge of Securities shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement arising hereunder; provided that in order to make any sale, transfer or assignment of Securities, such Purchaser and its pledgee must make 17 such disposition in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. 3.7 RESIDENCE. Purchaser is a resident of that jurisdiction specified in its address listed on EXHIBIT A. 3.8 CONFIDENTIALITY. Purchaser shall not disclose or provide to any other person or entity any non-public information or materials, or copies thereof, whatsoever about the Company, disclosed or made available to the Purchasers in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, or in Purchaser's capacity as stockholder of the Company; provided, however, that Purchaser may disclose such information to the Purchasers' legal and financial advisors in connection with advice to be rendered by them to the Purchasers, or to Purchaser's investors or potential investors or affiliates, or to any transferee or potential transferee of the Securities if such transfer is made in compliance with all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Prior to such disclosure, Purchasers shall: (i) advise such legal and financial advisors or Purchaser's investors or potential investors or affiliates, or transferees or potential transferee, as the case may be, that each of them shall not further disclose such information or materials to any other person or entity or utilize such information or materials for the benefit of any person or entity other than the Company or the Purchasers, or such transferee, in the capacity of a stockholder of the Company, or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; and (ii) ensure that each such person or entity executes an nondisclosure agreement in favor of the Company, the form of which is customary for general commercial transactions. The nondisclosure obligations set forth above shall not apply to any information which the Company determines in writing shall not be the subject of such nondisclosure obligations, nor shall such obligations apply to any information which, by applicable law, the Company may not prohibit the Purchasers from disclosing. The Purchasers may disclose any information to any governmental authority having jurisdiction over it, provided that the Company when reasonably possible shall be given reasonable advance written notice of Purchaser's intent to disclose any information covered under this Section 3.8 unless Purchaser is precluded from doing so by applicable law. 3.9 GENERAL SOLICITATION.
