ARTICLE IV OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES 4.1 TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. (a) The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, to the Company, to an Affiliate of a Purchaser, to an entity managed by a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. (b) The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this SECTION 4.1(B), of the following legend on any certificate evidencing Securities: NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE CONVERTIBLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THESE SECURITIES AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES. THE COMPANY SHALL ISSUE STOP TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS IN CONNECTION HEREWITH. The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, 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. (c) Certificates evidencing Securities shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b)): (i) while a registration statement (including the Underlying Shares Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, provided the Purchaser represents to the Company that it has sold or will promptly sell such security, or (ii) following any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144, or (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) as determined by the Company in good faith. In the event that any certificate does not bear the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b), and, to the knowledge of the holder, none of the above-referenced conditions exist, then the holder shall submit the certificate to the Company for application of such legend to the certificate. The Company shall cause its counsel to issue the legal opinion included in the Transfer Agent Instructions to the Company's transfer agent on the Effective Date. If all or any shares of Preferred Stock or any portion of a Warrant is converted or exercised (as applicable) at a time when there is a effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144(k) or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations thereof) then such Underlying Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company's transfer agent of a certificate representing Securities issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section. 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. Until such time as all Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k), 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 Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Purchasers to sell the Securities under 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 Principal 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) If, on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than 125% of (i) the Actual Minimum on such date, minus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock previously issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall use its best efforts to amend the Company's certificate or articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the Required Minimum at such time (minus the number of shares of Common Stock previously issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents), as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 60th day after such date; provided that the Company will not be required at any time to authorize a number of shares of Common Stock greater than the maximum remaining number of shares of Common Stock that could possibly be issued after such time pursuant to the Transaction Documents. (c) The Company shall: (i) in the time and manner required by each Principal Market, prepare and file with such Principal Market an additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the greater of (A) the Required Minimum on the Closing Date and (B) the Required Minimum on the date of such application, (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares of Common Stock to be approved for listing on each Principal Market as soon as possible thereafter, (iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such listing, and (iv) maintain the listing of such Common Stock on each such Principal Market or another Principal Market. (d) If, on any date, the number of shares of Common Stock previously listed on a Principal Market is less than 125% of the Actual Minimum on such date, then the Company shall take the necessary actions to list on such Principal Market, as soon as reasonably possible, a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the Required Minimum on such date; provided that the Company will not be required at any time to list a number of shares of Common Stock greater than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that could possibly be issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents. 4.6 CONVERSION AND EXERCISE PROCEDURES. The form of Election to Purchase included in the Warrants and the forms of Conversion Notice included in the Preferred Stock set forth the totality of the procedures required in order to exercise the Warrants or convert the Preferred Stock. No additional legal opinion or other information or instructions shall be necessary to enable the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants or convert their Preferred Stock. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and conversions of the Preferred Stock and shall deliver Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents. 4.7 SUBSEQUENT EQUITY SALES. From the date hereof until 60 days after the Effective Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue additional shares of Common Stock or Capital Share Equivalents at an effective net price to the Company per share of Common Stock (the "EFFECTIVE PRICE") less than the Conversion Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations). 4.8 SECURITIES LAWS DISCLOSURE; PUBLICITY.

The Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. 4.10 USE OF PROCEEDS.

In the event that a shareholders rights plan is adopted by the Company, no claim will be made or enforced by the Company or any other Person that any Purchaser is an "Acquiring Person" under the plan or in any way could be deemed to trigger the provisions of such plan by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents. 4.13 COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. The Purchasers agree that they will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act. 4.14 LIMITATIONS ON SHORT SALES. Each Purchaser agrees that it will not enter into any Short Sales (as hereinafter defined) from the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that such Purchaser no longer holds any Preferred Stock. For purposes of this Section 4.15, a "Short Sale" by any Purchaser shall mean a sale of Common Stock by such Purchaser that is marked as a short sale and that is made at a time when there is no equivalent offsetting long position in Common Stock held by such Purchaser.
