(i)             In addition to the indemnity provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other persons with a functionally equivalent role of a person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling person (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Indemnified Person may suffer or incur as a result of (i) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the Registration Rights Agreement or (ii) any action instituted against an Indemnified Person in any capacity, or any of them or their respective affiliates, by any shareholder of the Company or other third party who is not an affiliate of such Indemnified Person, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company will not be liable to any Indemnified Person under this Agreement to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is directly attributable to any Indemnified Person’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Indemnified Person in this Agreement.

(ii)            Promptly after receipt by any Indemnified Person of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any Proceeding (as defined below) in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4(i), such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is actually and materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure to notify (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, which determination is not subject to appeal or further review). In any such Proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; (ii) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person in such Proceeding; or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such Proceeding. “Proceeding” means an action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding (including, without limitation, an investigation or partial proceeding, such as a deposition), whether commenced or threatened.

(j)             The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to do and perform all things required to be done and performed by it under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents prior to or after the Closing Date and to satisfy all conditions precedent on its part to the obligations of the Purchasers to purchase and accept delivery of the Shares.

5.             Conditions of the Purchasers’ Obligations. The obligation of each Purchaser to purchase and pay for the Shares is subject to the following conditions unless waived in writing by the relevant Purchaser:

(a)            The representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct on and as of the Closing Date; the Company shall have complied in all material respects with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date.

(b)            None of the issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by any of the other Basic Documents shall be enjoined (temporarily or permanently) and no restraining order or other injunctive order shall have been issued in respect thereof; and there shall not have been any legal action, order, decree or other administrative proceeding instituted or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company or against any Purchaser relating to the issuance of the Shares or any Purchaser’s activities in connection therewith or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Basic Documents or the Disclosure Documents.

(c)            The Purchasers and Placement Agent shall have received a certificate, dated the Closing Date and signed by the chief financial officer of the Company, to the effect of paragraphs 5(a) and (b).

(d)            On or before the Closing Date, the Purchasers shall have received the Registration Rights Agreement executed by the Company and such agreement shall be in full force and effect at all times from and after the Closing Date, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.

(e)            The Purchasers and Placement Agent shall have received an opinion of Latham & Watkins LLP, counsel to the Company, with respect to the authorization of the Shares and other customary matters in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

(f)             The Purchasers and Placement Agent shall have received an opinion of the general counsel of the Company, with respect to the matters in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

6.             Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers.

(a)            Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly and as to itself only, represents and warrants to the Company that the Shares to be acquired by it hereunder are being acquired for its own account for investment (and/or on behalf of managed accounts who are purchasing solely for their own accounts for investment) and with no intention of distributing or reselling such Shares or any part thereof or interest therein in any transaction which would be in violation of the securities laws of the United States of America or any State, without prejudice, however, to a Purchaser’s right, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Shares under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and in compliance with applicable state securities laws or under an exemption from such registration, and subject, nevertheless, to the disposition of a Purchaser’s property being at all times within its control. By executing this Agreement, each Purchaser further represents that such Purchaser does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participation to any Person with respect to any of the Shares.

(b)            Each Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred except (a) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act (and, if requested by the Company, based upon an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company) or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and (b) in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other jurisdictions.

 Each Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as appropriate, of the following legend on the Shares:

The shares of common stock evidenced by this certificate have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred (“transferred”) in the absence of such registration or an applicable exemption therefrom. In the absence of such registration, such shares may not be transferred unless, if the Company requests, the Company has received a written opinion from counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Company stating that such transfer is being made in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.

 The legend set forth above shall be removed if and when the Shares are disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or in the opinion of counsel to the Company experienced in the area of United States federal securities laws such legends are no longer required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act. The Company agrees that it will provide each Purchaser, upon request, with a substitute Share certificate, not bearing such legend at such time as such legend is no longer applicable. Each Purchaser agrees that, in connection with any transfer of Shares by it pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, such Purchaser will comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Company makes no representation, warranty or agreement as to the availability of any exemption from registration under the Securities Act with respect to any resale of Shares.

(c)            Each Purchaser is an institutional investor that is an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

(d)            Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly and as to itself only, represents and warrants to the Company that it 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 Shares, such Purchaser having been represented by counsel, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

(e)            Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly and as to itself only, represents and warrants to the Company that (i) the purchase of the Shares to be purchased by it has been duly and properly authorized and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by it or on its behalf and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principals, of equity; (ii) the purchase of the Shares to be purchased by it does not conflict with or violate its charter, by-laws or any law, regulation or court order applicable to it; and (iii) the purchase of Shares to be purchased by it does not impose any penalty or other onerous condition on such Purchaser under or pursuant to any applicable law or governmental regulation.

(f)             Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly and as to itself only, represents and warrants to the Company that neither it nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, or controlling persons has taken, directly or indirectly, any actions designed, or might reasonably be expected to cause or result, under the Securities Acts or otherwise, in, or that has constituted, stabilization, or manipulation of the price of the shares.

(g)            Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly and as to itself only, represents and warrants to the Company that it has not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, engaged in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including, without limitations, any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities) or otherwise sought to hedge its position in the Securities since the time that such Purchaser was first contacted by the Company or the Placement Agent regarding the specific investment in the Company contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly and as to itself only, covenants that neither it nor any Person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will engage in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including Short Sales) prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly and as to itself only, represents and warrants that it has maintained, and covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company such Purchaser will maintain, the confidentiality of any disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is, individually or collectively, a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representations set forth above shall apply only with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Agreement.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-US broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers.

(h)            Each Purchaser acknowledges receipt of the Disclosure Documents and further acknowledges that it has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares; (ii) access to information about the Company and the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment in the Shares; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information which the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to verify the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in the Disclosure Documents.

(i)             Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly and as to itself only, represents and warrants to the Company that it has based its investment decision solely up the information contained in the Disclosure Documents and such other information as may have been provided to it by the Company in response to its inquiries, and has not based its investment decision on any research or other report regarding the Company prepared by any third party (“Third Party Reports”). Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges that (i) the Company does not endorse any Third Party Reports and (ii) its actual results may differ materially from those projected in any Third Party Report.

(j)             Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges that (i) any forward-looking information included in the Disclosure Documents supplied to such Purchaser by the Company or its management is subject to risks and uncertainties, including those risks and uncertainties set forth in the Disclosure Documents; and (ii) the Company’s actual results may differ materially from those projected by the Company or its management in such forward-looking information.

(k)            Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly and as to itself only, represents and warrants to the Company that the purchase by such Purchaser of the Shares issuable to it at the Closing will not result in such Purchaser (individually or together with any other Person with whom such Purchaser has identified, or will have identified, itself as part of a “group” in a public filing made with the Commission involving the Company’s securities) acquiring, or obtaining the right to acquire, in excess of 19.999% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the voting power of the Company on a post-transaction basis that assumes that the Closing shall have occurred. Such Purchaser does not presently intend to, alone or together with others, make a public filing with the Commission to disclose that it has (or that it together with such other Persons have) acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, as a result of the Closing (when added to any other securities of the Company that it or they then own or have the right to acquire), in excess of 19.999% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the voting power of the Company on a post-transaction basis that assumes that the Closing shall have occurred.

(l)             Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges that (i) the Shares are offered and sold without registration under the Securities Act in a private placement that is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and (ii) the availability of such exemption depends in part on, and that the Company, its counsel and the Placement Agent will rely upon, the accuracy and truthfulness of the foregoing representations and such Purchaser hereby consents to such reliance.

(m)           Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Company has not timely filed all reports required to be filed during the last twelve calendar months and is not eligible to use Form S-3 for the resale of the Shares by Purchasers or their transferees.

(n)            Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Shares offered by the Company, as described in the Disclosure Documents, are offered on a “best efforts” basis and that the Company reserves the right to accept purchases of more or less than the number of Shares set forth in the Disclosure Documents; in the event that less than the number of Shares set forth in the Disclosure Documents are sold by the Company, the Company’s use of proceeds, operations and financial information as set forth in the Disclosure Documents could be adversely affected.

7.             Survival Clause. The respective representations, warranties, agreements and covenants of the Company and the Purchasers set forth in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, any of its officers or directors, or any Purchaser and (ii) delivery of, payment for or disposition of the Shares, and shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs or personal representatives of the Company and the Purchasers.

8.             Termination.

(a)            This Agreement may be terminated in the sole discretion of the Company by notice to each Purchaser severally and not jointly if at the Closing Date:

(i)             the representations and warranties made by such Purchaser in Section 6 are not true and correct in all material respects; or

(ii)            as to the Company, the sale of the Shares hereunder (i) is prohibited or enjoined by any applicable law or governmental regulation or (ii) subjects the Company to any penalty, or in its reasonable judgment, other onerous condition under or pursuant to any applicable law or government regulation that would materially reduce the benefits to the Company of the sale of the Shares to such Purchaser, so long as such regulation, law or onerous condition was not in effect in such form at the date of this Agreement.

(b)            This Agreement may be terminated in the sole discretion of any Purchaser by notice to the Company given in the event that the Company shall have failed, refused or been unable to satisfy all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder on or prior to the Closing Date or if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date:

(i)             trading in securities of the Company or any Subsidiary or in securities generally on the NASDAQ Global Market shall have been suspended or minimum or maximum prices shall have been established on any such exchange;

(ii)            a banking moratorium shall have been declared by New York or United States authorities;

(iii)           there shall have been (A) an outbreak or escalation of hostilities between the United States and any foreign power, (B) an outbreak or escalation of any other insurrection or armed conflict involving the United States or any other national or international calamity or emergency, or (C) any material change in the financial markets of the United States that, in the case of (A), (B) or (C) above, in the sole judgment of any Purchaser, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the delivery of the Shares as contemplated by the Disclosure Documents, as amended as of the date hereof; or

(iv)           the Closing Date has not occurred within 10 calendar days of the date of this Agreement.

9.             Notices.

10.            Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each Purchaser and the Company and their respective successors and legal representatives, and nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other Person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement, or any provisions herein contained; this Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive benefit of such Persons and for the benefit of no other Person. No purchaser of Shares from any Purchaser will be deemed a successor because of such purchase.

11.            No Waiver; Modifications in Writing. No failure or delay on the part of the Company or any Purchaser in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to the Company or any Purchaser at law or in equity or otherwise. No waiver of or consent to any departure by the Company or any Purchaser from any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed in writing by the party entitled to the benefit thereof, provided that notice of any such waiver shall be given to each party hereto as set forth below. Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment, modification or termination of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed in writing by or on behalf of each of the Company and the relevant Purchaser. Any amendment, supplement or modification of or to any provision of this Agreement, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and any consent to any departure by the Company or any Purchaser from the terms of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given.

THE VALIDITY AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO PROVISIONS RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

14.            Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

15.            Fees and Expenses. The Company shall pay the reasonable legal fees and expenses of Greenberg Traurig, LLP, counsel to certain Purchasers, incurred by such Purchasers in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, up to a maximum of $25,000, which amount shall be paid directly by the Company to Greenberg Traurig, LLP at the Closing or paid by the Company to Greenberg Traurig, LLP upon termination of this Agreement so long as such termination did not occur as a result of a material breach by such Purchasers of any of their obligations hereunder (as the case may be).

16.            Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement 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 this Agreement. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase Shares 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 any 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 and none 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, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto, 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 this Agreement. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights under this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.

If the foregoing correctly sets forth our understanding, please indicate your acceptance thereof in the space provided below for that purpose, whereupon this Agreement shall constitute a binding agreement among the Company and the Purchasers.
