               (vi) None of the Government Contracts are subject to termination by a Governmental Authority as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

During the past five (5) years, no government contracting suspension or debarment action has been threatened or commenced against the Company or a Subsidiary, or, to the Company’s knowledge, any of its officers or employees.

     3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser hereby, as to itself only and for no other Purchaser, represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

          (a) Organization; Authority. Such 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, limited liability company or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or, if such Purchaser is not a corporation, such partnership, limited liability company or other applicable like action, on the part of such Purchaser. Each of the Transaction Documents to which such Purchaser is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser and, when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with terms hereof, will constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

          (b) Investment Intent. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view to distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of applicable securities laws, without prejudice, however, to such Purchaser’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Purchaser to hold the Securities for any period of time. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act, and therefore the Securities may not be sold, assigned or transferred unless pursuant to (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act is in effect with respect thereto or (ii) an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

          (c) Purchaser Status. At the time such 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. Such Purchaser is not a registered broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act.

          (d) Experience of such Purchaser. Such 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. Such 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.

          (e) General Solicitation. Such 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.

          (f) No Short Sales. Such Purchaser has not, directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or at the direction of such Purchaser, engaged in any Short Sales involving the Company’s Common Stock since January 1, 2007.

     The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Purchaser does not make and 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 pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or to the Company or pursuant to Rule 144(k), except as otherwise set forth herein, the Company may require the transferor 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 under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company hereby consents to and agrees to register on the books of the Company and with its transfer agent, without any such legal opinion, any transfer of Securities by a Purchaser to an Affiliate of such Purchaser, provided that the transferee certifies to the Company that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) 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 any other applicable Transaction Document) and shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement.

          (b) The Purchasers agree to the imprinting on any certificate evidencing Securities, except as otherwise permitted by Section 4.1(c), of a restrictive legend in substantially the form as follows, together with any additional legend required by (i) any applicable state securities laws and (ii) any securities exchange upon which such Securities may be listed:

[NEITHER] THESE SECURITIES [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE] 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 COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY 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. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THESE SECURITIES [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THESE SECURITIES] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

          (c) Certificates evidencing Securities shall not be required to contain the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) (i) if a Registration Statement covering the resale of such Securities under the Securities Act is effective, (ii) following any sale of such Securities in compliance with Rule 144, (iii) if such Securities are eligible for sale 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). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent in connection with any transfer occurring after the Effective Date. Following the Effective Date or at such earlier time as a legend is no longer required for certain Securities, the Company will no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a legended certificate representing such Securities, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends provided in this Agreement. 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 Section 4.1(b).

          (d) The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities in connection with a bona fide margin agreement secured by the Securities and, if required under the terms of such agreement, such 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 the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, 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 the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling stockholders thereunder.

     4.2 Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities (including the Underlying Shares) will result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation its obligation to issue the Securities (including the Underlying Shares) pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim that the Company may have against any Purchaser.

     4.3 Furnishing of Information. As long as any Purchaser owns 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 Purchaser, the Company shall deliver to

such Purchaser a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with the preceding sentence. As long as any Purchaser owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and make publicly available in accordance with paragraph (c) of Rule 144 such information as is required for the Purchasers to sell the Securities under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request to satisfy the provisions of Rule 144 applicable to the issuer of securities relating to transactions for the sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144.

     4.4 Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its best efforts to ensure that no Affiliate of the Company shall, 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 Purchasers or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market.

     4.5 Reservation and Listing of Securities.

          (a) The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents.

          (b) The Company shall (i) prepare and timely file with each Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering all of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable under the Transaction Documents, (ii) use reasonable best efforts to cause such shares of Common Stock to be approved for listing on each Trading Market as soon as practicable thereafter, (iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such listing, and (iv) use reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing of such Common Stock on each such Trading Market or another Eligible Market.

          (c) In the case of a breach by the Company of Section 4.5(a), in addition to the other remedies available to the Purchasers, the Purchasers shall have the right to require the Company to either: (i) use its best efforts to obtain the required shareholder approval necessary to permit the issuance of such shares of Common Stock as soon as is possible, but in any event not later than the 90th day after such notice, or (ii) within five Trading Days after delivery of a written notice, pay cash to such Purchaser, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to the number of shares of Common Stock not issuable by the Company times 115% of the average Closing Price over the five Trading Days immediately prior to the date of such notice or, if greater, the five Trading Days immediately prior to the date of payment (the “Cash Amount”). If the exercising or converting Purchaser elects the first option under the preceding sentence and the Company fails to obtain the required shareholder approval on or prior to the 90th day after such notice, then within three Trading Days after such 90th day, the Company shall pay the Cash Amount to such Purchaser, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty or as an exclusive remedy hereunder.

     4.6 Subsequent Placements.

          (a) From the date hereof until the Effective Date, the Company will not, directly or indirectly, effect any Subsequent Placement.

          (b) From the Effective Date and for so long as the Notes are outstanding, the Company will not, directly or indirectly, effect any Subsequent Placement unless the Company shall have first complied with this Section 4.6.

               (i) The Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a written notice (the “Offer”) of any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange of the securities being offered (the “Offered Securities”) in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer shall (w) identify and describe the Offered Securities, (x) describe the price and other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, (y) identify the Persons or entities to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued, sold or exchanged and (z) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with each Purchaser (A) a pro rata portion of the Offered Securities based on such Purchaser’s pro rata portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes purchased hereunder (the “Basic Amount”), and (B) with respect to each Purchaser that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of other Purchasers as such Purchaser shall indicate it will purchase or acquire should the other Purchasers subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription Amount”).

               (ii) To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, a Purchaser must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to the end of the 10 Trading Day period after the Offer, setting forth the portion of the Purchaser’s Basic Amount that such Purchaser elects to purchase and, if such Purchaser shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Purchaser elects to purchase (in either case, the “Notice of Acceptance”). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Purchasers are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Purchaser who has set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, that if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the “Available Undersubscription Amount”), each Purchaser who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase on that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Purchaser bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Purchasers that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by the Board of Directors to the extent its deems reasonably necessary.

               (iii) The Company shall have twenty (20) Trading Days from the expiration of the period set forth in Section 4.6(d)(ii) above to issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Purchasers (the “Refused Securities”), but only to the offerees described in the Offer and only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring Person or Persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer.

               (iv) In the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all of the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 4.6(d)(iii) above), then each Purchaser may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that the Purchaser elected to purchase pursuant to Section 4.6(d)(ii) above multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Purchasers pursuant to Section 4.6(c)(ii) above prior to such reduction) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities. In the event that any Purchaser so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue, sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered to the Purchasers in accordance with Section 4.6(d)(i) above.

               (v) Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, the Purchasers shall acquire from the Company, and the Company shall issue to the Purchasers, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 4.6(d)(iv) above if the Purchasers have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The purchase by the Purchasers of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and the Purchasers of a purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Purchasers and their respective counsel.

               (vi) Any Offered Securities not acquired by the Purchasers or other persons in accordance with Section 4.6(d)(iii) above may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are again offered to the Purchasers under the procedures specified in this Agreement.

          (c) The restrictions contained in this Section 4.6 shall not apply to issuances of Excluded Stock.

          (d) If at any time while any Note is outstanding the Company proposes to directly or indirectly effect a Subsequent Placement, then the Company shall offer to repurchase an amount of each Purchaser’s Note for an aggregate price (as determined below) equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate amount of the Subsequent Placement, and (B) the aggregate amount required to repurchase all of the Notes pursuant to this Section 4.6(d). All Notes repurchased under this Section 4.6(d) shall be repurchased at a price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes purchased, plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon through the date of payment.

     4.7 Conversion Procedures. The form of Exercise Notice included in the Warrants and the form of Holder Conversion Notice included in the Notes set forth the totality of the procedures required by the Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants or convert the Notes. No additional legal opinion or other information or instructions shall be necessary to enable the Purchasers to convert their Notes. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and conversions of the Notes and shall deliver Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.

     4.8 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. On the Business Day following the Closing Date, the Company shall issue a press release reasonably acceptable to the Purchasers disclosing the transactions contemplated hereby. Within one Business Day of the Closing Date, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission (the “8-K Filing”) describing the material terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and including as exhibits to such Current Report on Form 8-K this Agreement and the form of Notes, in the form required by the Exchange Act. Thereafter, the Company shall timely file any filings and notices required by the Commission or applicable law with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and provide copies thereof to the Purchasers promptly after filing. The Company shall, at least two Trading Days prior to the filing or dissemination of any disclosure required by the foregoing, provide a copy thereof to the Purchasers for their review; provided, however, that the Company shall only be required to provide a copy of the 8-K Filing to the Purchasers one day prior to such filing. The Company and the Purchasers shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases or otherwise making public statements or filings and other communications with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither party shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement, filing or other communication without the prior consent of the other, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement, filing or other communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market (other than the Registration Statement and any exhibits to filings made in respect of this transaction in accordance with periodic filing requirements under the Exchange Act, the proxy statement to be filed pursuant to Section 4.22 and any application to list additional shares filed with the Trading Market), without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except to the extent such disclosure is required by law, Trading Market regulations or the Commission or Nasdaq, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure. If at any time the Purchasers do not have a designee or observer on the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents not to, provide any Purchaser with any material nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the filing of the 8-K Filing without the express written consent of such Purchaser. In connection with any conversion under any Note or at any other time requested by any Purchaser, the Company will confirm to such Purchaser in writing that the Company does not believe that such Purchaser, or any employee, officer, director, agent or representative of such Purchaser, has been provided any material non-public information relating to the Company by the Company or any Subsidiary, or any of their respective employees, officers, directors, agents or representatives. In the event that the Company is unable to make such confirmation, or any Purchaser otherwise requests, the Company will make public disclosure of any information in the possession of such Purchaser which the Company or such Purchaser believes might constitute material non-public information relating to the Company. No Purchaser shall have any liability to the Company, its Subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders or agents for any such disclosure. Subject to the foregoing, neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any

Purchaser, to make any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the 8-K Filing and contemporaneously therewith and (ii) as is required by applicable law and regulations (provided that in the case of clause (i) each Purchaser shall be consulted by the Company in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release). Each press release disseminated by the Company during the 12 months prior to the Closing Date did not at the time of release contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading.

     4.9 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use substantially all of the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital and general corporate purposes.

     4.10 Indebtedness; Liens.

          (a) At any time after the date of this Agreement, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness, other than: (i) trade Indebtedness incurred to finance the purchase of equipment, components and other similar property and operating assets, in each case, in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice; (ii) inter-company Indebtedness between the Company and any Significant Subsidiary incurred in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice; and (iii) Indebtedness for borrowed money satisfying all of the following conditions: (A) such Indebtedness is fully subordinated to the Notes pursuant to a subordination agreement satisfactory to the Purchasers, (B) the amount of such Indebtedness, together with all other Indebtedness permitted pursuant to this clause (iii), does not exceed $2,500,000 in amount, and (C) the Company has complied with Section 3(c) of the Notes in respect of such Indebtedness.

          (b) At any time after the date of this Agreement, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon any of its property, assets or revenues, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, other than: (i) Liens incurred by the Company or the Subsidiaries, pursuant to the financings permitted under Section 4.10(a) above; (ii) Liens pursuant to the Security Agreements; (iii) mechanics’ Liens arising by operation of law or that are not material in amount and Liens arising from taxes, assessments, charges or claims that are not yet due or that remain payable without penalty; and (iv) Liens on real property that do not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries.

          (c) The provisions of this Section 4.10 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the conversion or indefeasible repayment in full of the Notes and all accrued interest thereon and any and all expenses or liabilities relating thereto for which the Company is liable hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents.

     4.11 Repayment of Notes. Each of the parties hereto agrees that (a) all repayments of the Notes (including any accrued interest thereon) by the Company (other than by conversion of the Notes) will be paid pro rata to the holders thereof based upon the principal amount then outstanding to each of such holders, and (b) except as otherwise set forth herein, all payments on the Notes shall be applied to the payment of accrued but unpaid interest before being applied to the payment of the principal.

     4.12 No Impairment. At all times after the date hereof, the Company will not take or permit any action, or cause or permit any Subsidiary to take or permit any action that impairs or adversely affects the rights of the Purchasers under any Transaction Document.

     4.13 Fundamental Changes. In addition to any other rights provided by law or set forth herein, from and after the date of this Agreement and for so long as any Note remains outstanding, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal face amount of the Notes:

          (a) dissolve, liquidate or merge or consolidate with or into another Person, or dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions) all or substantially all of its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) to or in favor of any Person;

          (b) purchase, redeem (other than pursuant to the Company’s stock option plan or similar employee incentive plan as described in Schedule 3.1(g) giving the Company the right to repurchase shares at cost upon the termination of an employee’s or director’s services) or set aside any sums for the purchase or redemption of, or declare or pay any dividend (including a dividend payable in stock of the Company) or make any other distribution with respect to, any shares of capital stock or any other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for such stock;

          (c) sell, dispose or otherwise transfer any assets or property with a value equal to or greater than $100,000, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice;

          (d) make any material change to its accounting or tax methods;

          (e) fail to maintain its corporate existence, or change the nature of the Company’s principal business to any business which is fundamentally distinct and separate from the business currently conducted by the Company;

          (f) cause or permit any Subsidiary of the Company directly or indirectly to take any actions described in clauses (a) through (e) above; or

          (g) enter into any agreement to do any of the foregoing.

     4.14 Indemnification.

          (a) If any Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any officer, director, partner, controlling person, employee or agent of a Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (a “Related Person”) becomes involved in any capacity in any Proceeding brought by or against any Person in connection with or as a result of any breach or failure to comply by the Company or any officer, director, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Affiliates with any representation, warranty or covenant in the Transaction Documents, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless such Purchaser or Related Person for its reasonable legal and other expenses

(including the costs of any investigation, preparation and travel) and for any Losses incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses or Losses are incurred, excluding only Losses that result directly from such Purchaser’s or Related Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In addition, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser and Related Person from and against any and all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or relating to any breach by the Company of any of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or any allegation by a third party that, if true, would constitute such a breach. The conduct of any Proceedings for which indemnification is available under this paragraph shall be governed by Section 6.4(c) below. The indemnification obligations of the Company under this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Purchasers and any such Related Persons. If the Company breaches its obligations under any Transaction Document, then, in addition to any other liabilities the Company may have under any Transaction Document or applicable law, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Purchasers on demand for all costs of collection and enforcement (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company specifically agrees to reimburse the Purchasers on demand for all costs of enforcing the indemnification obligations in this paragraph.

     4.15 D & O Insurance. So long as the Purchasers have a designee on the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company shall maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing coverage in such amounts and on such terms as is customary for a publicly traded company of similar size to the Company but in no event in an amount less than $5,000,000. Such insurance shall include coverage for all directors of the Company, including any director designated by the Purchasers.

     4.16 Shareholders Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or any other Person that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any shareholders rights plan or similar plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Underlying Shares under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.

     4.17 Delivery of Certificates. In addition to any other rights available to a Purchaser, if the Company fails to deliver or to cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing Common Stock on the date on which delivery of such certificate is required by any Transaction Document, and if after such date such Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of the shares that the Purchaser anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three Trading Days after such Purchaser’s request and in such Purchaser’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to such Purchaser in an amount equal to such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to such Purchaser a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash to such Purchaser in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Price on the date of the event giving rise to the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate.

     4.18 Access. In addition to any other rights provided by law or set forth herein, from and after the date of this Agreement and for so long as any Note remains outstanding, the Company shall, and shall cause each of the Subsidiaries, to give each Purchaser and its representatives, at the request of the Purchasers, access during reasonable business hours to (a) all properties, assets, books, contracts, commitments, reports and records relating to the Company and the Subsidiaries, and (b) the management, accountants, lenders, customers and suppliers of the Company and the Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to provide such Purchaser access to any information or Persons if the Company reasonably determines that access to such information or Persons (x) would adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel, and (y) would result in the disclosure of trade secrets, material nonpublic information or other confidential or proprietary information, and, in each case, cannot be provided to the Purchasers in a manner that would avoid the adverse affect on the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel or the disclosure of trade secrets, material nonpublic information or other confidential or proprietary information, as applicable.

     4.19 Amendments to Transaction Documents. So long as any Note remains outstanding, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into, become or remain subject to any agreement or instrument, except for the Transaction Documents, that would prohibit or require the consent of any Person to any amendment, modification or supplement to any of the Transaction Documents.

     4.20 New Subsidiaries. After the date hereof, if the Company or any Subsidiary forms, creates or acquires a subsidiary (in each case, a “New Subsidiary”), the Company shall immediately provide written notice thereof to the Purchasers, and shall promptly cause, or cause a Subsidiary to cause, such New Subsidiary to guarantee all of the Company’s obligations to the Purchasers by executing and delivering (i) a joinder to the Guaranty, and (ii) a security agreement substantially in the form of the Subsidiary Security Agreements attached hereto as Exhibit D. The Company shall also deliver to the Purchasers an opinion of counsel to such New Subsidiary that is reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers covering such legal matters with respect to such New Subsidiary becoming a guarantor of the Company’s obligations, executing and delivering a security agreement in favor of the Purchasers and any other matters that the Purchasers may reasonably request. The stock or other equity interests of a New Subsidiary shall be pledged to the Purchasers pursuant to the applicable Security Agreement, and, if at any time the Indebtedness permitted under to Section 4.10(a)(ii) is not outstanding, the Company shall deliver, or cause the applicable Subsidiary to deliver, each of the physical stock certificates of such New Subsidiary, along with undated stock powers for each such certificates, executed in blank (or, if any such shares of capital stock are uncertificated, confirmation and evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers that the security interest in such uncertificated securities has been transferred to and perfected by the Purchasers, in accordance with Sections 8-313, 8-321 and 9-115 of the Uniform Commercial Code or any other similar or local or foreign law that may be applicable).

     4.21 Issuable Maximum. The Company shall not take any action that would cause or result in the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the Transaction Documents to become subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6 of the Note or Section 11 of the Warrant.

A “Prohibited Short Sale” by a Purchaser means a Short Sale that is executed at a time when such Purchaser has no equivalent offsetting long position in the Common Stock. For purposes of determining whether a Purchaser has an equivalent offsetting long position in the Common Stock, all Common Stock and all Common Stock that would be issuable upon conversion or exercise in full of the Notes and Warrants, and any other security held by such Purchaser that is convertible into Common Stock, then held by such Purchaser (assuming that such Notes and Warrants and other securities were then fully convertible or exercisable, notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary, and giving effect to any conversion or exercise price adjustments scheduled to take effect in the future) shall be deemed to be held long by such Purchaser.

     4.23 Business Line Right of First Refusal. In the event that the Company or any Subsidiary receives any offer to purchase or otherwise acquire, or offers for sale, any material assets, business division or line of business or the Company or any of the Subsidiaries (a “Purchase Offer”), and the Company or such Subsidiary wishes to accept such Purchase Offer, the Company shall, not less than five (5) Business Days after receipt of such Purchase Offer, notify the Purchasers in writing of such Purchase Offer, which notice shall state the material terms of such Purchase Offer including without limitation the assets, division or line of business proposed to be acquired and the proposed purchase price (a “Notice of Purchase Offer”). The Majority Purchasers (as defined below) shall have the right, which right may be exercised by written notice to the Company delivered not later than fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the Notice of Purchase Offer (an “Exercise Notice”), to purchase the assets, division or line of business subject of such Purchase Offer on the terms, and for the purchase price, set forth in such Notice of Purchase Offer, within twenty (20) Business Days following delivery of such Exercise Notice (the “Exercise Closing Date”). The purchase and sale of the applicable assets, division or line of business shall be completed on customary terms and mutually acceptable documentation, and the Majority Purchasers may at their election make payment of such purchase price, in whole or in part, by surrender and cancellation of Indebtedness then outstanding under the Notes held by such Majority Purchaser on a dollar-for-dollar basis based upon the face value of the Notes. During the period from the commencement of the Purchase Offer through the Exercise Closing Date, the Company shall permit representatives of the Majority Purchasers to visit and inspect the properties of the Company and the Subsidiaries; inspect and make extracts from the books, records and files of the Company and the Subsidiaries; and discuss with the principal officers and independent accountants of the Company and its Subsidiaries, their business, assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations and business prospects, for the purpose of conducting due diligence in respect of the Purchase Offer. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, sell or otherwise transfer any material division or line of business without first complying with the requirements of this Section 4.23. The Company shall cause the Subsidiaries to comply with this Section 4.23, as applicable. In addition to the foregoing, in the event that the Company or any Subsidiary receives a Purchase

Offer that it does not wish to accept (a “Rejected Purchase Offer”), the Company shall, not less than five (5) Business Days after receipt of such Purchase Offer, notify the Purchasers in writing of such Purchase Offer, which notice shall contain all of the information required to be included in a Notice of Purchase Offer and shall also state that the Company or applicable Subsidiary does not wish to accept such Purchase Offer. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, accept a Rejected Purchase Offer without the prior written consent of the Majority Purchasers. The provisions of this Section 4.23 are without prejudice to the Purchasers’ rights under Section 4.13.

     4.24 Lockbox; Cash Collateral. Within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, the Company will, and will cause each of the Subsidiaries (to the extent requested by the Agent) to, establish and maintain, at its sole expense, and shall cause each Subsidiary (to the extent requested by the Agent) to establish and maintain, at its sole expense, Deposit Accounts (in each case, “Lockbox Accounts”), with such banks as are reasonably acceptable to the Agent into which the Company and the Subsidiaries shall promptly deposit and direct their respective Account Debtors (used herein as defined in the Notes) to directly remit all payments on Accounts (used herein as defined in the Notes) and all payments constituting proceeds of Collateral. The Company and the Subsidiaries (to the extent requested by the Agent) shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Agent a Control Agreement duly authorized, executed and delivered by each bank where a Lockbox Account for the benefit of the Company or any Subsidiary (to the extent requested by the Agent) is maintained, and by each bank where any other Deposit Account is from time to time maintained. The Company shall further execute and deliver, and shall cause each Subsidiary (to the extent requested by the Agent) to execute and deliver, such agreements and documents as the Agent may reasonably require in connection with such Lockbox Accounts and such Control Agreements. The Company and the Subsidiaries shall not establish any Deposit Accounts after the Closing Date, unless the Company or the Subsidiary (as applicable) has complied in full with the provisions of this Section 4.24 with respect to such Deposit Accounts. Pursuant to each Control Agreement, following an Event of Default (that has not been cured) the Agent shall have sole dominion and control over the Lockbox Accounts, and without notice to or assent by the Company and/or the Subsidiaries, the Agent may apply any or all amounts then or thereafter held as cash collateral to repayment of the Secured Obligations, in any order the Agent determines (and in accordance with Section 4.11). The costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) of establishing the Control Agreements and otherwise complying with this Section 4.24, and of collection, incurred by the Agent shall be reimbursed by the Company promptly after demand therefor in a manner consistent with the rights of the parties hereunder and, until so reimbursed, shall constitute Secured Obligations.

     4.25 Asset Transfer Restriction. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, transfer any assets to the Canadian Subsidiary having value, individually or in the aggregate, exceeding $10,000 or that are otherwise material, and shall not permit the Canadian Subsidiary to enter into any contracts, other than its current lease of office space, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Agent.

     4.26 Further Assurances Post-Closing Deliveries. The Company agrees to, and to cause the Subsidiaries to, make, execute and deliver all such additional and further acts, things, deeds and instruments as the Agent may reasonably require to document and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to vest completely in and insure the Agent and the

Purchasers their respective rights under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding any other provision of any Transaction Document, the Company shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such agreements and documents, and take or cause to be taken such actions, and otherwise perform, observe and comply with such obligations, as are set forth on Schedule 4.26, and as may be further agreed with the Agent in a post-closing obligations agreement executed in connection with the Closing. The costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with this Section 4.26 and the post-closing obligations referred to herein shall be reimbursed by the Company promptly after demand therefor and, until so reimbursed, shall constitute Secured Obligations.

          (a) As promptly as possible, and in any event on or prior to the Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a “shelf” Registration Statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. If for any reason the Commission does not permit all of the Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement, then the Company shall not be obligated to include such Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement but the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a separate Registration Statement with respect to any such Registrable Securities not included with the initial Registration Statements, as expeditiously as possible, but in no event later than the date which is 30 days after the date on which the Commission shall indicate as being the first date such filing may be made. The Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 and shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Purchasers) the “Plan of Distribution”, substantially as attached hereto as Exhibit F. In the event the Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form in accordance herewith as the Purchasers may consent and (ii) attempt to register the Registrable

Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statements then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission.

          (b) The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event prior to the Required Effectiveness Date, and shall use reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, (ii) such time as all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold publicly or (iii) such time as all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect (the “Effectiveness Period”).

          (c) The Company shall notify each Purchaser in writing promptly (and in any event within one business day) after receiving notification from the Commission that the Registration Statement has been declared effective.

          (d) If: (i) any Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date (if the Company files such Registration Statement without affording the Purchasers the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 6.2(a) hereof, the Company shall not be deemed to have satisfied this clause (i)), or (ii) the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act, within five Trading Days after the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that a Registration Statement will not be “reviewed,” or will not be subject to further review, or (iii) the Company fails to respond to any comments made by the Commission within 10 Trading Days after the receipt of such comments (except if such comments relate to the financial statements of the Company or other accounting related issues, in which case, such response period shall be extended for such period of time as may be required for the Company’s auditors to provide responses to such comments, provided that the Company is during such period continually using all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such responses, and provided, further, that such period of time shall in no event exceed twenty (20) Trading Days (an “Accounting Extension”)), or (iv) a Registration Statement filed hereunder is not declared effective by the Commission by the Required Effectiveness Date, or (v) after a Registration Statement is filed with and declared effective by the Commission, such Registration Statement ceases to be effective as to all Registrable Securities to which it is required to relate at any time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period without being succeeded within 10 Trading Days by an amendment to such Registration Statement or by a subsequent Registration Statement filed with and declared effective by the Commission, or (vi) an amendment to a Registration Statement is not filed by the Company with the Commission within ten Trading Days after the Commission’s having notified the Company that such amendment is required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared effective (except to the extent such period is exceeded pursuant to an Accounting Extension), or (vii) the Common Stock is not listed or quoted, or is suspended from trading on an Eligible Market for a period of three consecutive Trading Days or five Trading Days (which need not be consecutive) in any 180 day period, (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event,” and for purposes of clause (i) or (iv) the

date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (ii) the date on which such five Trading Day period is exceeded, or for purposes of clauses (iii), (v) or (vi) the date which such ten Trading Day-period is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (vii) the date on which such three or five (as the case may be) Trading Day period is exceeded, being referred to as “Event Date”), then: (x) on each such Event Date the Company shall pay to each Purchaser an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; and (y) on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date thereof (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Purchaser an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The partial liquidated damages payable hereunder shall not exceed 15% of the amount of the Notes originally issued hereunder. Such payments shall be in partial compensation to the Purchasers and shall not constitute the Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for such events. If the Company fails to pay any liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at the Default Rate (as defined in the Notes) to the Purchaser, accruing daily from the date such liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. This Section 6.1(d) shall not apply to a delay to the extent caused by (i) the Purchasers or (ii) the Company’s independent auditors or the Commission, if such delay is outside the control of the Company and not related to any action or inaction on the part of the Company, the Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers or directors.

          (e) The Company shall not, prior to the Effective Date of the Registration Statement, prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than those Persons identified in Schedule 3.1(z) whom the Company intends to include in the Registration Statement.

          (f) If the Company issues to the Purchasers any Common Stock pursuant to the Transaction Documents that is not included in the initial Registration Statement, then the Company shall file an additional Registration Statement covering such number of shares of Common Stock on or prior to the Filing Date and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such additional Registration Statement to become effective by the Commission by the Required Effectiveness Date.

          (g) Each Purchaser agrees to furnish to the Company a completed Questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit H (a “Selling Stockholder Questionnaire”).

          (d) Use reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, as soon as practicable.

The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, the officers, directors, partners, members, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Registrable Securities as principal as a result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call of Common Stock), investment advisors and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, partners, members, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Purchaser furnished in writing to the Company by such Purchaser expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Purchaser expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 6.2(c)(v)-(vii), the use by such Purchaser of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Purchaser in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Purchaser of the Advice contemplated in Section 6.5.

          (b) Indemnification by Purchasers. Each Purchaser shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment not subject to appeal or review) arising solely out of any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising solely out of any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statement or omission is based solely upon information regarding such Purchaser furnished in writing to the Company by such Purchaser expressly for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus, or to the extent that such information relates to such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Purchaser expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 6.2(c)(iv)-(vii), the use by such Purchaser of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Purchaser in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Purchaser of the Advice contemplated in Section 6.5. In no event shall the liability of any selling Purchaser hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Purchaser upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

          (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

          An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (iii) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the

Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

          All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).

          (d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 6.4(a) or (b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.4(c), any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

          The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.4(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.4(d), no Purchaser shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by such Purchaser from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Purchaser has

otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

          The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

     6.5 Dispositions. Each Purchaser agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. Each Purchaser further agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Sections 6.2(c)(iv)-(vii), such Purchaser will discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Purchaser’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement contemplated by Section 6.2(j), or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.

     6.6 No Piggyback on Registrations. Except with the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities or as permitted by Section 6.7 below, neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Purchasers in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in the Registration Statement other than the Registrable Securities, and the Company shall not during the Effectiveness Period enter into any agreement providing any such right to any of its security holders to be included in the Registration Statement for the Registrable Securities.

     6.7 Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time during the Effectiveness Period there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to each Purchaser written notice of such determination and if, within fifteen days after receipt of such notice, any such Purchaser shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Purchaser requests to be registered, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks applied on a pro rata basis to all holders of registration rights.

ARTICLE VII.
MISCELLANEOUS

     7.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by the Company or any Purchaser, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has not been consummated by the fifth Trading Day following the date of this Agreement; provided that no such termination will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by the other party (or parties).

     7.2 Fees and Expenses. At the Closing, the Company shall pay to the Purchasers $130,000 for the diligence, legal and accounting fees and expenses incurred by the Purchasers in connection with due diligence and the preparation and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. In addition, the Company shall pay a structuring fee to the Purchasers totaling $163,800, which shall be paid 50% to each Purchaser. In lieu of the foregoing payments, Hale Fund Management, in respect of diligence, legal and accounting fees, and each Purchaser, in respect of its portion of the structuring fee, may retain the amount of such payments instead of delivering such amounts to the Company at the Closing. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees, stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the issuance of any Securities. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses (including filing or registration costs and stamp duties) of local counsel (including without limitation in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom), which amounts shall be in addition to the amount set forth in the first sentence of this Section 7.2.

     7.3 Appointment of Agent.

          (a) Appointment and Authority. Each of the Purchasers hereby irrevocably appoints Hale Fund Management to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (together with its successors in such capacity, the “Agent”) and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 7.3 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Purchasers, and neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary nor any other Person shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

          (b) Exculpatory Provision. The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

          (c) Collateral Matters. The Purchasers irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and discretion, to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Agent, for the ratable benefit of itself and the Purchasers, under any Transaction Document (i) upon repayment in full of the Secured Obligations and payment of all outstanding fees and expenses hereunder, (ii) that is sold or to be sold or disposed as part of or in connection with any sale or disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, or (iii) authorized or ratified in writing by the Purchasers.

          (d) Indemnity. Each of the Purchasers hereby jointly and severally covenants and agrees to reimburse, indemnify and hold the Agent harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, judgments, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, transfer or other taxes, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred or suffered without any bad faith or willful misconduct by the Agent, arising out of or incident to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the administration of the Agent’s duties hereunder and thereunder, or resulting from its actions or inactions as Agent.

     7.4 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the Exhibits and Schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules. At or after the Closing, and without further consideration, the Company will execute and deliver to the Purchasers such further documents as may be reasonably requested in order to give practical effect to the intention of the parties under the Transaction Documents.

     7.5 Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Agreement later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date and earlier than 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on such date, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, specifying next business day delivery or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given if delivered by hand.

     7.6 Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Purchasers who hold a majority of the outstanding principal balance on the Notes (the “Majority Purchasers”), or, in the case of a waiver, by the Majority Purchasers. Any waiver executed by the Majority Purchasers shall be binding on the Company and all holders of Notes. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Purchasers under Article VI and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Purchasers may be given by Purchasers holding at least a majority of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates. 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 on identical terms to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents that are holders of Notes.

     7.7 Construction. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

     7.8 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Purchasers. Any Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions hereof and of the applicable Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Securities may be pledged to any Person in connection with a bona fide margin account secured by such Securities.

     7.9 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except that each Indemnified Party is an intended third party beneficiary of Section 6.4 and (in each case) may enforce the provisions of such Sections directly against the parties with obligations thereunder.

     7.10 Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCEPT FOR MATTERS GOVERNED BY CORPORATE LAW IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND), WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THEREOF. EACH PARTY AGREES THAT ALL LEGAL PROCEEDINGS CONCERNING THE INTERPRETATIONS, ENFORCEMENT AND DEFENSE OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY ANY OF THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS (WHETHER BROUGHT AGAINST A PARTY HERETO OR ITS RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS) SHALL BE COMMENCED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS 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 (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THIS AGREEMENT), 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 IMPROPER. EACH PARTY HERETO 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 VIA REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL OR OVERNIGHT DELIVERY (WITH EVIDENCE OF DELIVERY) TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS IN EFFECT FOR 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 HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. IF EITHER PARTY SHALL COMMENCE AN ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE ANY PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, THEN THE PREVAILING PARTY IN SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE REIMBURSED BY THE OTHER PARTY FOR ITS REASONABLE ATTORNEYS FEES AND OTHER REASONABLE COSTS AND EXPENSES INCURRED WITH THE INVESTIGATION, PREPARATION AND PROSECUTION OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

     7.11 Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery, exercise and/or conversion of the Securities, as applicable.

     7.12 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.

     7.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

     7.14 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

     7.15 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

     7.16 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

     7.17 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser hereunder or any Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company by a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

     7.18 Usury. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action or proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate of interest applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Purchaser’s election.

     7.19 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document 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 any Transaction Document. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase Notes pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or of the Subsidiary which may have been made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Purchaser (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, 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 as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Document. The Company hereby confirms that it understands and agrees that the Purchasers are not acting as a “group” as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no other Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment hereunder. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to

independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

     7.20 Adjustments in Share Numbers and Prices. In the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly shares of Common Stock), combination or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after the date hereof, each reference in this Agreement to a number of shares or a price per share shall be amended to appropriately account for such event.
