ISSUANCE OF WARRANTS AND REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. (a) Issuance of Warrants. The Company hereby agrees to issue the Termination Warrants on the date of this Agreement. The Termination Warrants will be evidenced by a warrant agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit I to the Securities Purchase Agreement, except that (a) the exercise price of the Warrants will equal $1.62 per Termination Share (as appropriately adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock -2- combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock which occur after the date of this Agreement) and (b) each Buyer's Termination Warrant will be exercisable for an aggregate of 125,000 shares of Common Stock. (b) Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to each Buyer as follows: (i) Organization. The Company is duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. The Company has full power and authority to own, operate and occupy its properties and to conduct its business as presently conducted and is registered or qualified to do business and in good standing in each jurisdiction where the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, operations, results of operations, financial condition or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, if any, taken as a whole, or on the transactions contemplated hereby or by the agreements and instruments to be entered into in connection herewith, or on the authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Termination Warrants. (ii) Authorization; Enforcement; Validity. The Company has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the Agreement and the Termination Warrants and to issue the Termination Shares in accordance with the terms thereof. The Agreement and the Termination Warrants have been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Company and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and similar laws relating to creditors' rights generally and except as enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). (iii) Issuance of Securities. A number of shares of Common Stock has been duly authorized and reserved for issuance which equals 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Termination Warrants (subject to adjustment pursuant to the Company covenants set forth in the Termination Warrants). Upon exercise in accordance with the Termination Warrants, the Termination Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock. Subject to the accuracy as to factual matters of the Buyers' representations in Section 3(c), the issuance by the Company of the Termination Warrants and the Termination Shares is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act. (iv) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Termination Warrants by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the reservation for issuance and issuance of the Termination Shares) will not (i) result in a -3- violation of the Articles of Incorporation, any Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of any outstanding series of preferred stock of the Company or the Bylaws, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations of the Principal Market) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected. (v) No General Solicitation. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the offer of the Termination Warrants. (vi) No Integrated Offering. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, any of their affiliates, and any Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security (other than securities offered or sold to the Buyers pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and the May 8 Letter Agreement) under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Termination Warrants and Termination Shares to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable shareholder approval provision, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, their affiliates and any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps referred to in the preceding sentence that would cause the offering of the Termination Securities to be integrated with other offerings for purposes of any such shareholder approval provision. (vii) Material Nonpublic Information. Other than the terms of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, all of which shall be publicly disclosed in the 8-K Filing (as defined in Section 5(a)), neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents have provided the Buyers with any material, nonpublic information. (c) Representations and Warranties of Each Buyer. Each Buyer hereby represents and warrants to the Company with respect to only itself as follows: (i) Authorization; Enforcement; Validity. Such Buyer is a validly existing corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity. Such Buyer has all requisite corporate, partnership, limited liability or other organizational power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof. The Agreement has been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by such Buyer and constitutes the valid and binding obligations of such Buyer enforceable against such Buyer in accordance with its terms, except as -4- enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and similar laws relating to creditors' rights generally and except as enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). (ii) Exemption of Offering. Such Buyer is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. Such Buyer is acquiring the Termination Warrants and, upon exercise of the Termination Warrants (other than pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d) of the Termination Warrants)), will acquire the Termination Shares issuable upon exercise thereof, for its own account and not with a view towards, or resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the 1933 Act, provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Buyer does not agree to hold any of the Termination Warrants or Termination Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Termination Warrants or Termination Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the 1933 Act. 4. RIGHTS OF PARTICIPATION. (a) Offering of Additional Securities. If, during a period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the date that is six months following the date hereof, the Company should offer to sell additional equity securities of the Company (or rights to purchase such equity securities or securities convertible into such equity securities) other than Excluded Offers (collectively, the "Offered Securities"), then following the determination of the purchase price of such Offered Securities, the Company shall offer to sell to each Buyer, upon the same terms and conditions as the Company offers to sell the Offered Securities, a number of Offered Securities equal to 10% of the Offered Securities. Such offer shall be made by written notice given to each Buyer, shall specify therein the amount of the Offered Securities, the purchase price of the Offered Securities and the other material terms of such offer and shall include a copy of any agreements relating thereto. Each Buyer shall have a period of five (5) Business Days from the date such notice is delivered within which to accept such offer in whole or in part. Such offer may only be accepted by a Buyer by providing the Company written notice within such five (5) Business Day period, together with payment to the Company of the applicable purchase price; provided, however, that a Buyer shall not be required to pay the applicable purchase price prior to the closing of the offer of the Offered Securities with the purchasers other than the Buyers. If a Buyer is unwilling to purchase such shares on the same terms and conditions as the purchasers of the Offered Securities, the Company shall have no obligation to sell any Offered Securities to such Buyer. Without limitation to the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, the Company may close on the offer of the Offered Securities prior to the offer of the Offered Securities to the Buyers in accordance with this Section 4(a). (b) Excluded Offers. "Excluded Offers" mean any offers to sell a security of the Company (or rights to purchase such securities) (i) under the terms of any Company employee, consultant or director stock option plan, employee stock purchase plan or employee stock repurchase plan which has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or (ii) -5- through a firm commitment underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 5. COVENANTS. (a) Current Report on Form 8-K. At or before 8:30 a.m., New York Time, on the first Business Day following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K describing the terms of this Agreement in the form required by the 1934 Act, and attaching the Agreement as an exhibit to such filing (the "8-K Filing"). (b) Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of all of the Termination Securities upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Termination Securities from time to time issuable under the terms of the Termination Warrants or the Agreement. The Company shall maintain the Common Stock's authorization for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market or obtain a listing on the NYSE. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 5(b). (c) Pledge of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Termination Securities may be pledged by an Investor (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Termination Securities. The pledge of Termination Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Termination Securities hereunder, and no Investor effecting a pledge of Termination Securities shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or the Termination Warrants. At the appropriate Investor's expense, the Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee of the Termination Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Termination Securities to such pledgee by an Investor. 6.
