COMMON STOCK AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This COMMON STOCK AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is dated as of January , 2007, by and among Avatech Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”), and each of the persons listed on Schedule 1 hereto (each is individually referred to as a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, each of the Purchasers is willing to purchase from the Seller, and the Seller desires to sell to the Purchasers, up to an aggregate of 1,150,938 shares of its Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), and Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Warrants”) entitling the holders thereof to purchase shares of the Seller’s Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $1,750,000, as more fully set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I - PURCHASE AND SALE

1.1 Purchase and Sale.

(a) Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the closing of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement (the “Closing”), each Purchaser shall purchase, severally and not jointly, and the Seller shall issue and sell, to each Purchaser, such number of shares of Common Stock (“Shares”) and Warrants set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule 1 hereto The Closing shall occur as promptly as practicable, but no later than five (5) business days, following satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2, at the offices of Moomjian, Waite, Wactlar & Coleman, LLP, 100 Jericho Quadrangle, Suite 225, Jericho, NY 11753, or on such other date and at such other location as the Seller and Purchasers shall mutually agree.

(b) Purchase Price. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) to be paid by each Purchaser to the Seller to acquire the Shares and the applicable Warrants at the Closing shall be equal to the total amount set forth on Schedule 1 hereto opposite such Purchaser’s name as the Purchase Price for such Purchaser.

(c) Warrants. The total number of Warrants on Schedule 1 shall equal 60% of the number of Shares purchased by such Purchaser.

(d) Definitions. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are referred to herein as the “Warrant Shares.” The date on which the Closing occurs is the “Closing Date”.

1.2 Terms of the Warrants. The terms and provisions of the Warrants are more fully set forth in the form of Common Stock Purchase Warrant, attached hereto as Exhibit A.

ARTICLE II – TRANSFERS AND LEGENDS

2.1 Transfers. Except as required by federal securities laws and the securities law of any state or other jurisdiction within the United States, the Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) may be transferred, in whole or in part, by any of the Purchasers at any time. Any such transfer shall be made by a Purchaser in accordance with applicable law. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or to the Seller, the Seller may require the transferor thereof to furnish to the Seller an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, such counsel and the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Seller and Seller’s counsel, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act; provided, that in the case of a transfer of the Shares and/or the Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, no opinion shall be required if the transferor provides the Seller with a customary seller’s representation letter, and if such sale is not pursuant to subsection (k) of Rule 144, a customary broker’s representation letter and Form 144. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller hereby consents to and agrees to register on the books of the Seller and with any transfer agent for the securities of the Seller, 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 Seller that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring the Securities solely for investment purposes (subject to the qualifications hereof) and not with a view to, or for, resale, distribution or fractionalization thereof in whole or in part in violation of the Securities Act. The Seller shall reissue certificates evidencing the Securities upon surrender of certificates evidencing the Securities being transferred in accordance with this Section 2.1. In connection with any transfer of Warrants after the Registration Statement (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) is declared effective under the Securities Act, the transferor of such Warrants shall reimburse the Seller for its reasonable out of pocket costs in connection with such transfer (including without limitation the reasonable attorneys fees for preparing and filing a prospectus supplement with the SEC and/or delivering an updated opinion letter to the Seller’s transfer agent). An “Affiliate” means any Person (as such term is defined below) that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a Person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. With respect to a Purchaser, any investment fund or managed account that is managed on a discretionary basis by the same investment manager as such Purchaser will be deemed to be an Affiliate of such Purchaser. A “Person” means any individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision of any thereof) or other entity of any kind.

2.2 Legends. The certificates representing the Securities, unless such Securities are registered under the Securities Act or eligible for resale without registration pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, shall bear the following legends:

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY, OR ACQUIRABLE UPON EXERCISE OF SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY, THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT UNLESS, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

“THE SALE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF JANUARY , 2007, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN HOLDERS OF ITS OUTSTANDING SECURITIES. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”

The Seller and its Subsidiaries are duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and are in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of the property owned or leased by them or the nature of their activities makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Material Adverse Effect” means, with respect to any person or entity, a material adverse effect on its and its Subsidiaries’ condition (financial or otherwise), business, properties, assets, liabilities (including contingent liabilities), results of operations or current prospects, taken as a whole, on the transactions contemplated hereby or by the agreements and instruments to be entered into in connection herewith or therewith, or on the authority or ability of the Seller to perform its obligations hereunder or under the Related Documents. True and complete copies of the Seller’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws, as amended, as currently in effect and as will be in effect on the Closing Date (collectively, the “Articles and Bylaws”), have previously been provided to the Purchasers. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Subsidiary” or “Subsidiaries” means, with respect to any entity, any corporation or other organization of which securities or other ownership interests having ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other persons performing similar functions are directly or indirectly owned by such entity or of which such entity is a partner or is, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of 50% or more of any class of equity securities or equivalent profit participation interests, or is considered a “significant subsidiary” as defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Commission under the Exchange Act.

The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of this Agreement, the Warrants, the Investor Rights Agreement and each of the other documents executed pursuant to and in connection with this Agreement (collectively, the “Related Documents”), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, but not limited to, the sale and delivery of the Shares and the Warrants, and the subsequent issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants) have been duly authorized, and no additional corporate or stockholder action is required for the approval of this

Agreement. The Shares have been duly authorized and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Warrant Shares have been duly reserved for issuance by the Seller. This Agreement and the Related Documents have been or, to the extent contemplated hereby or by the Related Documents, will be duly executed and delivered and constitute the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of rights of creditors, and except as enforceability of its obligations hereunder are subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

3.3 Charter, Bylaws and Corporate Records. The minute books of the Seller and its Subsidiaries contain complete and accurate records of all meetings and other corporate actions of the board of directors, committees of the board of directors, incorporators and stockholders of the Seller and its Subsidiaries from October 1, 2002 to the date hereof.

The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of this Agreement and the Related Documents, and the consummation by the Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including the issuance of the Shares and Warrant Shares) do not and will not (a) contravene or conflict with the Articles and Bylaws of the Seller and its Subsidiaries or any material agreement to which the Seller is a party or by which it is bound; (b) contravene or conflict with or constitute a violation of any provision of any law, regulation, judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon or applicable to the Seller or its Subsidiaries; (c) constitute a default (or would constitute a default with notice or lapse of time or both) under or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration or loss of any benefit under any material agreement, contract or other instrument binding upon the Seller or its Subsidiaries or under any material license, franchise, permit or other similar authorization held by the Seller or its Subsidiaries; or (d) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (as defined below) on any asset of the Seller or its Subsidiaries.

3.6 SEC Documents. The Seller is obligated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) to file reports pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) thereof (all such reports filed or required to be filed by the Seller, including all exhibits thereto or incorporated therein by reference, and all documents filed by the Seller under the Securities Act hereinafter called the “SEC Documents”). The Seller has filed all reports or other documents required to be filed under the Exchange Act. All SEC Documents filed by the Seller as of or for any period beginning on or after July 1, 2003, (i) were prepared in all material respects in accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act and (ii) did not at the time they were filed (or, if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date hereof, then on the date of such filing) 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 misleading. The Seller has previously delivered to the Purchaser a correct and complete copy of each report (including, without limitation, the most recent Proxy Statement) which the Seller filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”) under the Exchange Act for any period ending on or after June 30, 2006 (the “Recent Reports”) to the extent not available via EDGAR. None of the information about the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries which has been disclosed to the Purchasers herein or in the course of discussions and negotiations with respect hereto which is not disclosed in the Recent Reports is or was required to be so disclosed, and no material non-public information has been disclosed to the Purchasers.

3.7 Financial Statements. The financial statements of the Seller included in the SEC Documents comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”), except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Seller and its consolidated subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments.

3.8 Compliance with Law. The Seller and its Subsidiaries are in compliance and have conducted their business so as to comply with all laws, rules and regulations, judgments, decrees or orders of any court, administrative agency, commission, regulatory authority or other governmental authority or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, applicable to their operations, the violation of which would cause a Material Adverse Affect. There are no judgments or orders, injunctions, decrees, stipulations or awards (whether rendered by a court or administrative agency or by arbitration), including any such actions relating to affirmative action claims or claims of discrimination, against the Seller or its Subsidiaries or against any of their properties or businesses.

3.9 No Defaults. The Seller and its Subsidiaries are not, nor have they received notice that they would be with the passage of time, giving of notice, or both, (i) in violation of any

provision of their Articles and Bylaws (ii) in default or violation of any term, condition or provision of (A) any judgment, decree, order, injunction or stipulation applicable to the Seller or its Subsidiaries or (B) any material agreement, note, mortgage, indenture, contract, lease or instrument, permit, concession, franchise or license to which the Seller or its Subsidiaries are a party or by which the Seller or its Subsidiaries or their properties or assets may be bound, and no circumstances exist which would entitle any party to any material agreement, note, mortgage, indenture, contract, lease or instrument to which such Seller or its Subsidiaries are a party, to terminate such as a result of such Seller or its Subsidiaries, having failed to meet any material provision thereof including, but not limited to, meeting any applicable milestone under any material agreement or contract.

3.10 Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Recent Reports or on Schedule 3.10, there is no action, suit, proceeding, judgment, claim or investigation pending or, to the best knowledge of the Seller, threatened against the Seller and its Subsidiaries which could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Seller or its Subsidiaries or which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin, alter or materially delay any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and there is no basis for the assertion of any of the foregoing.

There are no claims or complaints existing or, to the knowledge of the Seller or its Subsidiaries, threatened for product liability in respect of any product of the Seller or its Subsidiaries, and the Seller and its Subsidiaries are not aware of any basis for the assertion of any such claim.

(f) Any entry into, amendment of, relinquishment, termination or non-renewal by the Seller or its Subsidiaries of any material contract, license, lease, transaction, commitment or other right or obligation, other than in the ordinary course of business; or

(g) Any transfer or grant of a right with respect to the trademarks, trade names, service marks, trade secrets, copyrights or other intellectual property rights owned or licensed by the Seller or its Subsidiaries, except as among the Seller and its Subsidiaries.

3.12 No Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as set forth in the Recent Reports, and except for liabilities and obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business since June 30, 2006, as of the date hereof, (i) the Seller and its Subsidiaries do not have any material liabilities or obligations (absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) which, and (ii) there has not been any aspect of the prior or current conduct of the business of the Seller or its Subsidiaries which may form the basis for any material claim by any third party which if asserted could result in any such material liabilities or obligations which, are not fully reflected, reserved against or disclosed in the balance sheet of the Seller as at June 30, 2006.

3.13 Taxes. All tax returns and tax reports required to be filed with respect to the income, operations, business or assets of the Seller and its Subsidiaries have been timely filed (or

appropriate extensions have been obtained) with the appropriate governmental agencies in all jurisdictions in which such returns and reports are required to be filed, and all of the foregoing as filed are correct and complete and, in all material respects, reflect accurately all liability for taxes of the Seller and its Subsidiaries for the periods to which such returns relate, and all amounts shown as owing thereon have been paid. All income, profits, franchise, sales, use, value added, occupancy, property, excise, payroll, withholding, FICA, FUTA and other taxes (including interest and penalties), if any, collectible or payable by the Seller and its Subsidiaries or relating to or chargeable against any of its material assets, revenues or income or relating to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder or other third party through the Closing Date, will have been fully collected and paid by such date if due by such date or provided for by adequate reserves in the Financial Statements as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2006 (other than taxes accruing after such date) and all similar items due through the Closing Date will have been fully paid by that date or provided for by adequate reserves, whether or not any such taxes were reported or reflected in any tax returns or filings. No taxation authority has sought to audit the records of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries for the purpose of verifying or disputing any tax returns, reports or related information and disclosures provided to such taxation authority, or for the Seller’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ alleged failure to provide any such tax returns, reports or related information and disclosure. No material claims or deficiencies have been asserted against or inquiries raised with the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any taxes or other governmental charges or levies which have not been paid or otherwise satisfied, including claims that, or inquiries whether, the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries has not filed a tax return that it was required to file, and, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there exists no reasonable basis for the making of any such claims or inquiries. Neither the Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has waived any restrictions on assessment or collection of taxes or consented to the extension of any statute of limitations relating to taxation.

3.14 Interests of Officers, Directors and Other Affiliates. The description of any interest held, directly or indirectly, by any officer, director or other Affiliate of Seller (other than the interests of the Seller and its Subsidiaries in such assets) in any property, real or personal, tangible or intangible, used in or pertaining to Seller’s business, including any interest in the Intellectual Property (as defined in Section 3.15 hereof), as set forth in the Recent Reports, is true and complete, and no officer, director or other Affiliate of the Seller has any interest in any property, real or personal, tangible or intangible, used in or pertaining to the Seller’s business, including the Seller’s Intellectual Property, other than as set forth in the Recent Reports.

(c) there have been no claims made against the Seller or its Subsidiaries asserting the invalidity, abuse, misuse, or unenforceability of any of the Intellectual Property, and, to its knowledge, there are no reasonable grounds for any such claims;

(d) neither the Seller nor its Subsidiaries have made any claim of any violation or infringement by others of its rights in the Intellectual Property, and to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, no reasonable grounds for such claims exist; and

(e) neither the Seller nor its Subsidiaries have received notice that it is in conflict with or infringing upon the asserted rights of others in connection with the Intellectual Property.

3.16 Restrictions on Business Activities. Other than as set forth in the Recent Reports, there is no agreement, judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon the Seller or its Subsidiaries which has or could reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or materially impairing any business practice of the Seller or its Subsidiaries, any acquisition of property by the Seller or its Subsidiaries or the conduct of business by the Seller or its Subsidiaries as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted by the Seller.

3.17 Preemptive Rights. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.17, none of the stockholders of the Seller possess any preemptive rights in respect of the Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares to be issued to the Purchasers in connection herewith or upon exercise of the Warrants.

3.18 Insurance. The insurance policies providing insurance coverage to the Seller or its Subsidiaries including for product liability are adequate for the business conducted by the Seller and its Subsidiaries (currently limited to the testing phase) and are sufficient for compliance by the Seller and its Subsidiaries with all requirements of law and all material agreements to which the Seller or its Subsidiaries are a party or by which any of their assets are bound. All of such policies are in full force and effect and are valid and enforceable in accordance with their terms, and the Seller and its Subsidiaries have complied with all material terms and conditions of such policies, including premium payments. None of the insurance carriers has indicated to the Seller or its Subsidiaries an intention to cancel any such policy.

3.20 Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Seller consists of 80,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of which 13,632,074 shares are issued and outstanding as of the date hereof, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, issuable in one or more classes or series, with such relative rights and preferences as the Board of Directors may determine, none of which has been authorized for issuance other than (i) 1,297,537 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share, 1,189,209 of which, immediately prior to the Closing, are outstanding, (ii) 1,200 shares of the Seller’s Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, 1,178 of which, immediately prior to the Closing, are outstanding, and (iii) 7,500 shares of the Seller’s Series F 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, 4,000 of which, immediately prior to the Closing, are outstanding. All shares of the Seller’s issued and outstanding capital stock have been duly authorized, are validly issued and outstanding, and are fully paid and nonassessable. No securities issued by the Seller from the date of its incorporation to the date hereof were issued in violation of any statutory or common law preemptive rights. There are no dividends which have accrued or been declared but are unpaid on the capital stock of the Seller. All taxes required to be paid by Seller in connection with the issuance and any transfers of the Seller’s capital stock have been paid. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.20, all permits or authorizations required to be obtained from or registrations required to be effected with any Person in connection with any and all issuances of securities of the Seller from the date of the Seller’s incorporation to the date hereof have been obtained or effected, and all securities of the Seller have been issued and are held in accordance with the provisions of all applicable securities or other laws.

3.21 Options, Warrants, Rights. Except as set forth in the Recent Reports or on Schedule 3.21, there are no outstanding (a) securities, notes or instruments convertible into or exercisable for any of the capital stock or other equity interests of the Seller or its Subsidiaries; (b) options, warrants, subscriptions or other rights to acquire capital stock or other equity interests of the Seller or its Subsidiaries; or (c) commitments, agreements or understandings of any kind, including employee benefit arrangements, relating to the issuance or repurchase by the Seller or its Subsidiaries of any capital stock or other equity interests of the Seller or its Subsidiaries, any such securities or instruments convertible or exercisable for securities or any such options, warrants or rights. Other than the rights of the holders of Series F 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and the warrants issued to such holders, the rights of the Purchasers of the Shares and Warrants, and except for the rights of the holders of Series D and Series E Preferred Stock, neither the Seller nor the Subsidiaries have granted anti-dilution rights to any person or entity in connection with any outstanding option, warrant, subscription or any other instrument convertible or exercisable for the securities of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries. Other than the rights granted to the holders of Series F 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and the Purchasers under the Investor Rights Agreement and except for the rights of the holders of Series D and Series E Preferred Stock, there are no outstanding rights which permit the holder thereof to cause the Seller or the Subsidiaries to file a registration statement under the Securities Act or which permit the holder thereof to include securities of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries in a registration statement filed by the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries under the Securities Act, and there are no outstanding agreements or other commitments which otherwise relate to the registration of any securities of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries for sale or distribution in any jurisdiction. This issuance of the Shares and Warrants hereunder and/or the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants will not cause any adjustment to the current conversion price under the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock or Series E

Convertible Preferred Stock, or to the exercise price under any outstanding warrants issued in connection therewith, or cause any antidilution adjustments to be made to any other of the Seller’s outstanding securities, except for the adjustment to the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock set forth on Schedule 3.21.

3.22 Employees, Employment Agreements and Employee Benefit Plans. Except as set forth in the Recent Reports or on Schedule 3.22, there are no employment, consulting, severance or indemnification arrangements, agreements, or understandings between the Seller and any officer or senior management of the Seller or its Subsidiaries (the “Employment Agreements”). Except as set forth in the Recent Reports or on Schedule 3.22, no Employment Agreement provides for the acceleration or change in the award, grant, vesting or determination of options, warrants, rights, severance payments, or other contingent obligations of any nature whatsoever of the Seller or its Subsidiaries in favor of any such parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Except as disclosed in the Recent Reports or on Schedule 3.22, the terms of employment or engagement of all officers and senior management of the Seller and its Subsidiaries are such that their employment or engagement may be terminated upon not more than two weeks’ notice given at any time without liability for payment of compensation or damages and the Seller and its Subsidiaries have not entered into any agreement or arrangement for the management of their business or any part thereof other than with their directors or employees.

3.23 Absence of Certain Business Practices. Neither the Seller, nor any Affiliate of the Seller, nor to the knowledge of the Seller, any agent or employee of the Seller, any other Person acting on behalf of or associated with the Seller, or any individual related to any of the foregoing Persons, acting alone or together, has: (a) received, directly or indirectly, any rebates, payments, commissions, promotional allowances or any other economic benefits, regardless of their nature or type, from any customer, supplier, trading company, shipping company, governmental employee or other Person with whom the Seller has done business directly or indirectly; or (b) directly or indirectly, given or agreed to give any gift or similar benefit to any customer, supplier, trading company, shipping company, governmental employee or other Person who is or may be in a position to help or hinder the business of the Seller (or assist the Seller in connection with any actual or proposed transaction) which (i) may subject the Seller to any damage or penalty in any civil, criminal or governmental litigation or proceeding, (ii) if not given in the past, may have had an adverse effect on the Seller or (iii) if not continued in the future, may adversely affect the assets, business, operations or prospects of the Seller or subject the Seller to suit or penalty in any private or governmental litigation or proceeding.

3.24 Products and Services. To the knowledge of the Seller and except as disclosed in the Recent Reports, there exists no set of facts (i) which could furnish a basis for the withdrawal, suspension or cancellation of any registration, license, permit or other governmental approval or consent of any governmental or regulatory agency with respect to any product or service developed or provided by the Seller or its Subsidiaries, (ii) which could furnish a basis for the withdrawal, suspension or cancellation by order of any state, federal or foreign court of law of any product or service, or (iii) which could have a Material Adverse Effect on the continued operation of any facility of the Seller or its Subsidiaries or which could otherwise cause the Seller or its Subsidiaries to withdraw, suspend or cancel any such product or service from the market or to change the marketing classification of any such product or service. Each product or service provided by Seller or its Subsidiaries has been provided in accordance in all material respects with the specifications under which such product or service normally is and has been provided and the provisions of all applicable laws or regulations.

3.25 Environmental Matters. None of the premises or any properties owned, occupied or leased by the Seller or its Subsidiaries (the “Premises”) has been used by the Seller or the Subsidiaries or, to the Seller’s knowledge, by any other Person, to manufacture, treat, store, or dispose of any substance that has been designated to be a “hazardous substance” under applicable Environmental Laws (hereinafter defined) (“Hazardous Substances”) in violation of any applicable Environmental Laws. To its knowledge, the Seller has not disposed of, discharged, emitted or released any Hazardous Substances which would require, under applicable Environmental Laws, remediation, investigation or similar response activity. No Hazardous Substances are present as a result of the actions of the Seller or, to the Seller’s knowledge, any other Person, in, on or under the Premises which would give rise to any liability or clean-up obligations of the Seller under applicable Environmental Laws. The Seller and, to the Seller’s knowledge, any other Person for whose conduct it may be responsible pursuant to an agreement or by operation of law, are in compliance with all laws, regulations and other federal, state or local governmental requirements, and all applicable judgments, orders, writs, notices, decrees, permits, licenses, approvals, consents or injunctions in effect on the date of this Agreement relating to the generation, management, handling, transportation, treatment, disposal, storage, delivery, discharge, release or emission of any Hazardous Substance (the “Environmental Laws”). Neither the Seller nor, to the Seller’s knowledge, any other Person for whose conduct it may be responsible pursuant to an agreement or by operation of law has received any written complaint, notice, order, or citation of any actual, threatened or alleged noncompliance with any of the Environmental Laws, and there is no proceeding, suit or investigation pending or, to the Seller’s knowledge, threatened against the Seller or, to the Seller’s knowledge, any such Person with respect to any violation or alleged violation of the Environmental Laws, and, to the knowledge of the Seller, there is no basis for the institution of any such proceeding, suit or investigation.

3.26 Licenses; Compliance Regulatory Requirements. Except as disclosed in the Recent Reports, the Seller holds all material authorizations, consents, approvals, franchises, licenses and permits required under applicable law or regulation for the operation of the business of the Seller and its Subsidiaries as presently operated (the “Governmental Authorizations”). All the Governmental Authorizations have been duly issued or obtained and are in full force and effect, and the Seller and its Subsidiaries are in material compliance with the terms of all the Governmental Authorizations. The Seller and its Subsidiaries have not engaged in any activity that, to their knowledge, would cause revocation or suspension of any such Governmental Authorizations. The Seller has no knowledge of any facts which could reasonably be expected to cause the Seller to believe that the Governmental Authorizations will not be renewed by the appropriate governmental authorities in the ordinary course. Neither the execution, delivery nor performance of this Agreement shall adversely affect the status of any of the Governmental Authorizations.

3.27 Brokers. No broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, based upon any arrangement made by or on behalf of the Seller, which would make any Purchaser liable for any fees or commissions.

3.28 Securities Laws. Neither the Seller nor its Subsidiaries nor any agent acting on behalf of the Seller or its Subsidiaries has taken or will take any action which might cause this Agreement or the Shares or Warrants to violate the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, as in effect on the Closing Date. Assuming that all of the representations and warranties of the Purchasers set forth in Article IV are true, all offers and sales of capital stock, securities and notes of the Seller were conducted and completed in compliance with the Securities Act. All shares of capital stock and other securities issued by the Seller and its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof have been issued in transactions that were either registered offerings or were exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and in compliance with all applicable corporate laws.

3.29 Disclosure. No representation or warranty made by the Seller in this Agreement, nor in any document, written information, financial statement, certificate, schedule or exhibit prepared and furnished by the Seller or the representatives of the Seller pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements or facts contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were furnished.

3.30 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. There is no transaction, arrangement or other relationship between the Seller and an unconsolidated or other off-balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Seller in its Exchange Act filings and is not so disclosed or that otherwise would be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no such transactions, arrangements or other relationships with the Seller that may create contingencies or liabilities that are not otherwise disclosed by the Seller in its Exchange filings.

3.31 Application of Takeover Protections. The Seller and its Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Seller’s Certificate of Incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation or any agreement to which the Seller is a party that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and the Seller fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under this Agreement and the Related Documents, including without limitation the Seller’s issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.

3.32 No Additional Agreements. The Seller does not have any agreement or understanding with any Purchaser with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Documents other than as specified in this Agreement and the Related Documents.

3.33 Acknowledgment Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Seller Securities. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Seller further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Seller or any other Purchaser (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement and the Related Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and any advice

given by any Purchaser or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement or the Related Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to such Purchaser’s purchase of the Securities. The Seller further represents to each Purchaser that the Seller’s decision to enter into this Agreement and the Related Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Seller and its representatives.

3.34 Internal Accounting Controls. The Seller and each of its subsidiaries maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Seller has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Seller and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Seller, including its subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Seller’s Form 10-K or 10-Q, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Seller’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Seller’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the Seller’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Seller presented in its most recently filed Form 10-K or Form 10-Q the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the Seller’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Seller’s internal control over financial reporting.

3.35 Solvency. Based on the financial condition of the Seller as of the Closing Date, (i) the Seller’s fair saleable value of its assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Seller’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature; (ii) the Seller’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Seller, and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (iii) the current cash flow of the Seller, together with the proceeds the Seller would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid. The Seller does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).

3.36 Title to Assets. The Seller and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them that is material to their respective businesses and good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to their respective businesses, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for (i) Liens as do not materially affect the value of such property, do not materially interfere with the use made and

proposed to be made of such property by the Seller and the Subsidiaries, (ii) Liens for taxes not yet due and payable and (iii) Liens which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect. To the Seller’s knowledge, any real property and facilities held under lease by the Seller and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases of which the Seller and the Subsidiaries are in compliance except, in each case, as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

ARTICLE V - COVENANTS OF THE SELLER AND PURCHASERS

The Seller and its Subsidiaries shall, from time to time upon the written request of the Purchasers, promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to the Purchasers evidence, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers, of the maintenance of all insurance maintained by it for loss or damage by fire and other hazards, damage or injury to persons and property, including from product liability, and under workmen’s compensation laws.

The Purchasers are hereby authorized to deliver a copy of any financial statement or any other information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of the Seller which may have been furnished to the Purchasers hereunder, to any regulatory body or agency having jurisdiction over the Purchasers or to any Person which shall, or shall have right or obligation to succeed to all or any part of the Purchasers’ interest in the Seller or this Agreement.

5.3 Investigation. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement shall not be affected or diminished in any way by any investigation (or failure

to investigate) at any time by or on behalf of the party for whose benefit such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements were made. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the inability or failure of the Purchasers to discover any breach, default or misrepresentation by the Seller under this Agreement or the Related Documents (including under any certificate furnished pursuant to this Agreement), notwithstanding the exercise by the Purchasers or other holders of the Shares of their rights hereunder to conduct an investigation shall not in any way diminish any liability hereunder.

5.4 Further Assurances. The Seller shall, at its cost and expense, upon written request of the Purchasers, duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, to the Purchasers such further instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts as may be necessary, advisable or proper, at the reasonable request of the Purchasers, to carry out more effectually the provisions and purposes of this Agreement. The parties shall use their best efforts to timely satisfy each of the conditions described in Article VI of this Agreement.

(iii) increased executive compensation or loans to officers, employees, stockholders or directors, unless approved by a disinterested majority of the Board of Directors;

5.6 Corporate Existence. So long as a Purchaser owns Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares, the Seller shall preserve and maintain and cause its Subsidiaries to preserve and maintain their corporate existence and good standing in the jurisdiction of their incorporation and the rights, privileges and franchises of the Seller and its Subsidiaries (except, in each case, in the event of a merger or consolidation in which the Seller or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, is not the surviving entity) in each case where failure to so preserve or maintain could have a Material Adverse Effect on the financial condition, business or operations of the Seller and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

5.7 Licenses. The Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, maintain at all times all material licenses or permits necessary to the conduct of its business and as required by any governmental agency or instrumentality thereof.

5.8 Taxes and Claims. The Seller and its Subsidiaries shall duly pay and discharge (a) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges upon or against the Seller or its

properties or assets prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto, unless and to the extent that such taxes are being diligently contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, and appropriate reserves therefor have been established, and (b) all material lawful claims, whether for labor, materials, supplies, services or anything else which might or could, if unpaid, become a lien or charge upon the properties or assets of the Seller or its Subsidiaries unless and to the extent only that the same are being diligently contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and appropriate reserves therefor have been established.

5.9 Perform Covenants. The Seller shall (a) make full and timely payment of any and all obligations of the Seller to the Purchasers, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and (b) duly comply with all the terms and covenants contained herein and in each of the instruments and documents given to the Purchasers in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement, all at the times and places and in the manner set forth herein or therein.

5.10 Additional Covenants.

(a) Except for transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Board of Directors, neither the Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries shall enter into any transaction with any director, officer, employee or holder of more than 5% of the outstanding capital stock of any class or series of capital stock of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, member of the family of any such person, or any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any such person, or member of the family of any such person, is a director, officer, trustee, partner or holder of more than 5% of the outstanding capital stock thereof, with the exception of transactions which are consummated upon terms that are no less favorable than would be available if such transaction had been effected at arms-length, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors.

(b) The Seller shall timely prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission the form of notice of the sale of securities pursuant to the requirements of Regulation D regarding the sale of the Shares and Warrants under this Agreement.

(c) The Seller shall timely prepare and file such applications, consents to service of process (but not including a general consent to service of process) and similar documents and take such other steps and perform such further acts as shall be required by the U.S. state securities law requirements of each jurisdiction where a Purchaser resides as indicated on Schedule 1 with respect to the sale of the Shares and Warrants under this Agreement.

(d) Neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, shall directly or indirectly make any offers or sales of any securities or solicit any offers to buy any securities under circumstances that would cause the loss of the 4(2) exemption under the Securities Act for the transactions contemplated hereby. Subject to any consent or approval rights of the Purchasers hereunder, in the event the Seller contemplates an offering of its equity or debt securities within six months following the Closing Date, the Seller agrees that it shall notify the Purchasers of such offering (without providing any material non-public information to any Purchaser without its prior approval).

5.11 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Seller shall (i) on or promptly after the Closing Date, issue a press release acceptable to Sigma Opportunity Fund, LLC disclosing the

transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) promptly after the Closing Date, file with the Commission a Report on Form 8-K disclosing the transactions contemplated hereby. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, neither the Seller nor the Purchasers shall make any press release or other publicity about the terms of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior approval of the other unless otherwise required by law or the rules of the Commission.

5.12 Like Treatment of Purchasers and Holders. Neither the Seller nor any of its affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration (immediate or contingent), whether by way of interest, fee, payment for redemption, conversion or exercise of the Securities, or otherwise, to any Purchaser or holder of Securities, for or as an inducement to, or in connection with the solicitation of, any consent, waiver or amendment to any terms or provisions of this Agreement or the Related Documents, unless such consideration is required to be paid to all Purchasers or holders of Securities bound by such consent, waiver or amendment. The Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, redeem any Securities unless such offer of redemption is made pro rata to all Purchasers or holders of Securities, as the case may be, on identical terms.

5.13 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement or any Related Documents 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 such agreement. Nothing contained herein or in any Related Documents, 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 such agreement. 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 Related Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser represents that it has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of this Agreement and the Related Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, the Purchasers acknowledge and agree that they and their respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Seller through Moomjian, Waite, Wactlar & Coleman, LLP (“MWWC”), but MWWC does not represent any of the Purchasers in this transaction other than Sigma Opportunity Fund, LLC (the “Lead Investor”).

5.14 Other Transactions. Until after the date which is three months following the date hereof, the Company shall not issue or sell or agree to issue or sell any securities in a financing transaction which is a Variable Rate Transaction or otherwise provides the purchasers of such securities with more favorable terms (including without limitation with respect to the effective purchase price per share, conversion, exercise or exchange price (whether before or after adjustment), term, coupon, warrant coverage or otherwise) than those contained in this Agreement and the Related Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. “Variable Rate Transaction” shall mean a transaction in which the Seller issues or sells, or agrees to issue or sell (a) any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional shares of, Common Stock either (x) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of

such debt or equity securities, (y) with a fixed conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Seller or the market for the Common Stock (but excluding standard stock split anti-dilution provisions), or (z) under a warrant exercisable for a number of shares based upon and/or varying with the trading prices of or quotations for the Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such warrant, or (b) any securities of the Seller pursuant to an “equity line” structure which provides for the sale, from time to time, of securities of the Seller which are registered for resale pursuant to the Securities Act.

5.15 Securities Issuances. In the event that the Seller or any of its subsidiaries (A) issues or sells any Common Stock or convertible securities, warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase or exchange for, shares of Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) or (B) directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities which are currently outstanding, at or to an effective Per Share Selling Price (as defined below) which is less than $1.5205 (as adjusted pursuant to this section and as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like) (the “Subsequent Purchase Price”), then in each such case the Seller shall make a post-Closing adjustment in the Purchase Price so that the per Share Purchase Price paid by the Purchasers at Closing is reduced on a weighted average basis between the Purchase Price and the Subsequent Purchase Price as applied to the amount of Shares then held by each holder. Within five business days following the closing of the subsequent sale, the Seller shall pay to each holder the product of the number of Shares owned by such holder on the date of the subsequent sale times the amount of the adjustment to the Purchase Price calculated as provided above. Payment shall be made by delivery of additional shares of Common Stock valued at the Per Share Selling Price. The foregoing provision shall not apply to any issuances or sales of Common Stock or Convertible Securities (i) pursuant to any Convertible Securities currently outstanding on the date hereof in accordance with the terms of such Convertible Securities in effect on the date hereof, or (ii) to any officer, director or employee of the Seller pursuant to a bona fide option or equity incentive plan duly adopted by the Seller (including without limitation an employee stock purchase plan). The Seller shall give to the each holder of Shares written notice of any such sale of Common Stock within 24 hours of the closing of any such sale and shall within such 24 hour period issue a press release announcing such sale if such sale is a material event for, or otherwise material to, the Seller.

For the purposes of the foregoing adjustments, in the case of the issuance of any Convertible Securities, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding, provided that no further adjustment shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities.

For purposes of this Section 5.16, if an event occurs that triggers more than one of the above adjustment provisions, then only one adjustment shall be made and the calculation method which yields the greatest downward adjustment shall be used.

“Per Share Selling Price” shall include the amount actually paid by third parties for each share of Common Stock in a sale or issuance by the Seller. In the event a fee is paid by the Seller in connection with such transaction directly or indirectly to such third party, any such fee

shall be deducted from the selling price pro rata to all shares sold in the transaction to arrive at the Per Share Selling Price. A sale of shares of Common Stock shall include the sale or issuance of Convertible Securities, and in such circumstances the Per Share Selling Price of the Common Stock covered thereby shall also include the exercise, exchange or conversion price thereof (in addition to the consideration received by the Seller upon such sale or issuance less the fee amount as provided above). In case of any such security issued in a transaction in which the purchase price or the conversion, exchange or exercise price is directly or indirectly subject to adjustment or reset based on a future date, future trading prices of the Common Stock, specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Seller or the market for the Common Stock, or otherwise (but excluding standard stock split anti-dilution provisions or weighted-average anti-dilution provisions similar to that set forth herein, provided that any actual reduction of such price under any such security pursuant to such weighted-average anti-dilution provision shall be included and cause a adjustment hereunder), the Per Share Selling Price shall be deemed to be the lowest conversion, exchange, exercise or reset price at which such securities are converted, exchanged, exercised or reset or might have been converted, exchanged, exercised or reset, or the lowest adjustment, as the case may be, over the life of such securities. If shares are issued for a consideration other than cash, the Per Share Selling Price shall be the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by independent certified public accountants mutually acceptable to the Seller and the Lead Investor. In the event the Seller directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities which are currently outstanding, then the Per Share Selling Price shall equal such effectively reduced conversion, exercise or exchange price.

ARTICLE VI - CONDITIONS TO CLOSINGS

6.1 Conditions to Obligations of Purchasers to Effect the Closing.

On or prior to the Closing Date the Seller shall deliver to each of the Purchasers a certificate of the Chief Executive Office and Chief Financial Officer of the Seller to the effect that all of the representations and warranties of the Seller set forth in this Agreement are true and correct as of the Closing Date (including, to the extent necessary, updated disclosure schedules which shall be reasonably acceptable to each Purchaser) and that the Seller has performed all of its obligations under this Agreement required to be performed prior to the Closing Date.

ARTICLE VII – INDEMNIFICATION AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

7.1 Survival of Representations. The representations and warranties of the Seller and the Purchasers contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. The Seller’s and the Purchasers’ warranties and representations shall in no way be affected by any investigation of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of the Seller or the Purchasers.

7.2 Indemnification. The Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers, their Affiliates, each of their officers, directors, employees and agents and their respective successors and assigns, from and against any losses, damages, or expenses which are caused by or arise out of (i) any breach or default in the performance by the Seller of any covenant or agreement made by the Seller in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents; (ii) any breach of warranty or representation made by the Seller in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents; (iii) any and all third party actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incident to any of the foregoing; and (iv) any enforcement of this indemnification.

7.3 Indemnity Procedure. The Seller is referred to herein as the “Indemnifying Party” and the other party or parties claiming indemnity is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”. An Indemnified Party under this Agreement shall, with respect to claims asserted against such party by any third party, give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might give rise to a claim for indemnity under this Agreement within sixty (60) business days of the receipt of any written claim from any such third party, but not later than twenty (20) days prior to the date any answer or responsive pleading is due, and with respect to other matters for which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification, give prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might give rise to a claim for indemnity; provided, however, that any failure to give such notice will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Party except to the extent the rights of the Indemnifying Party are materially prejudiced.

The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its election, to take over the defense or settlement of such claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party at least fifteen (15) days prior to the time when an answer or other responsive pleading or notice with respect thereto is required. If the Indemnifying Party makes such election, it may conduct the defense of such claim through counsel of its choosing (subject to the Indemnified Party’s approval of such counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), shall be solely responsible for the expenses of such defense and shall be bound by the results of its defense or settlement of the claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such claim without prior notice to and consultation with the Indemnified Party, and no such settlement involving any equitable relief or which might have an adverse effect on the Indemnified Party may be agreed to without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). So long as the Indemnifying Party is diligently contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party may pay or settle such claim only at its own expense and the Indemnifying Party will not be responsible for the fees of separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party, unless the named parties to any proceeding include both parties or representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to conflicts of interest or otherwise. If the Indemnifying Party does not make such election, or having made such election does not, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party proceed diligently to defend such claim, then the Indemnified Party may (after written notice to the Indemnifying Party), at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, elect to take over the defense of and proceed to handle such claim in its

discretion and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any defense or settlement that the Indemnified Party may make in good faith with respect to such claim. In connection therewith, the Indemnifying Party will fully cooperate with the Indemnified Party should the Indemnified Party elect to take over the defense of any such claim. The parties agree to cooperate in defending such third party claims and the Indemnified Party shall provide such cooperation and such access to its books, records and properties as the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably request with respect to any matter for which indemnification is sought hereunder; and the parties hereto agree to cooperate with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense thereof.

With regard to claims of third parties for which indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the entry of a judgment against the Indemnified Party and the expiration of any applicable appeal period, or if earlier, five (5) days prior to the date that the judgment creditor has the right to execute the judgment; (ii) the entry of an unappealable judgment or final appellate decision against the Indemnified Party; or (iii) a settlement of the claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the reasonable expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed on a current basis by the Indemnifying Party. With regard to other claims for which indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party upon demand by the Indemnified Party.

7.4 Liquidated Damages. The Seller and the Purchasers agree that the Purchasers will suffer damages if a Breach Event (as defined below) occurs or is ongoing. The Seller and the Purchasers further agree that it may not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. If a Breach Event (as defined below) occurs, then the Purchasers may elect, as liquidated damages, and in addition to any other remedies legally available to such Purchasers, to require that the Seller shall pay to the Purchasers liquidated damages at a rate of 18% per annum of the aggregate Purchase Price paid by Purchaser payable monthly in cash at the end of each month (or part thereof) in which the Breach Event is outstanding.

“Breach Event” means either:

(i) Any breach of any warranty or representation of the Seller as of the date made in this Agreement, any Related Agreement or any other agreement delivered herewith, which breach, or the facts and circumstances concerning such breach, has or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; or

(ii) Any breach by the Seller of any material covenant or obligation under this Agreement, any Related Agreement or any other agreement delivered herewith, and which breach, if capable of being cured, has not been cured within ten (10) days after notice of such breach has been given by the Lead Investor to the Seller.

The Seller and the Purchasers have expressly negotiated this Section 7.4, and have agreed that in light of the circumstances existing at the time of execution of this Agreement, the liquidated damages expressed herein represent a reasonable estimate of the harm likely to be suffered by the Purchasers upon the occurrence of a Breach Event.

Payment of the Warrant Price may be made at the option of the Holder by: (i) certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company, (ii) wire transfer to the account of the Company or (iii) the surrender and cancellation of a portion of shares of Common Stock then held by the Holder or issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant, which shall be valued and credited toward the total Warrant Price due the Company for the exercise of the Warrant based upon the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. All shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be validly issued and, upon payment of the Warrant Price, shall be fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to any preemptive rights.

Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon exercise of any portion of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, the warrantholder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless such holder is purchasing the full amount of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant. The warrantholder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares so purchased hereunder and the dates of such purchases or shall use such other method,

reasonably satisfactory to the warrantholder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Warrant upon each such exercise. In connection therewith a form of ledger to maintain a record of such transactions is attached hereto. The warrantholder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant or a new Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following exercise of any portion of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares which may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant may be less than the number of Warrant Shares set forth on the face hereof.

2.2. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional share of Common Stock upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder of one or more Warrants, the rights under which are exercised in the same transaction, would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date of exercise multiplied by such fraction.

2.3. Continued Validity. A Holder of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part (other than a Holder who acquires such shares after the same have been publicly sold pursuant to a Registration Statement under the Securities Act or sold pursuant to Rule 144 thereunder), shall continue to be entitled with respect to such shares to all rights to which it would have been entitled as the Holder under Sections 10 and 13 of this Warrant.

2.4. Restrictions on Exercise Amount. In the event the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Warrant Stock as a result of any restrictions or prohibitions under applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization, the Company shall as soon as practicable seek the approval of its stockholders and take such other action to authorize the issuance of the full number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon full exercise of this Warrant but in any event the Board of Directors shall call a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company in the manner set forth in the By-laws of the Company to be held within ninety (90) days following the inception of such occurrence, which inception shall occur at such time as the Company is not able to honor the full exercise of all outstanding Warrants due to such law, rule or regulation, whether or not any such conversion or exercise is actually attempted.

3. Transfer, Division and Combination.

3.1. Transfer. The Warrants and the Warrant Stock shall be freely transferable, subject to compliance with all applicable laws, including, but not limited to the Securities Act. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant or the resale of the Warrant Stock, this Warrant or the Warrant Stock, as applicable, shall not be registered under the Securities Act, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant or the Warrant Stock as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act, (ii) that the Holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, and (iii) that the transferee be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act. Transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, shall be registered on the books of the Company to be maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company referred to in Section 2.1 or the office or agency designated by the Company pursuant to Section 12, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute

and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Following a transfer that complies with the requirements of this Section 3.1, the Warrant may be exercised by a new Holder for the purchase of shares of Common Stock regardless of whether the Company issued or registered a new Warrant on the books of the Company. In connection with any transfer of this Warrant after the Registration Statement (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) is declared effective under the Securities Act, the Holder or transferee of this Warrant shall reimburse the Company for its reasonable out of pocket costs in connection with such transfer (including without limitation the reasonable attorneys fees for preparing and filing a prospectus supplement with the SEC and/or delivering an updated opinion letter to the Seller’s transfer agent).

3.2. Restrictive Legends. Each certificate for Warrant Stock initially issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, and each certificate for Warrant Stock issued to any subsequent transferee of any such certificate, unless, in each case, such Warrant Stock is registered under the Securities Act or is eligible for resale without registration pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED, IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT IS NOT REQUIRED.”

“THE SALE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF JANUARY ___, 2007, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN HOLDERS OF ITS OUTSTANDING SECURITIES. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”

3.3. Division and Combination; Expenses; Books. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office or agency of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 3.1 as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section 3. The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office or agency, books for the registration and the registration of transfer of the Warrants.

4. Adjustments. The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, and the price at which such shares may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. The Company shall give the Holder notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 in accordance with Sections 5.1 and 5.2.

4.1. Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding the Company shall:

(i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock,

(ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or

(iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then:

(1) the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock that would have been acquirable under this Warrant immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision or combination would own or be entitled to receive after such record date or the effective date of such subdivision or combination, as applicable, and

(2) the Current Warrant Price shall be adjusted to equal:

(A) the Current Warrant Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision or combination, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment, divided by

(B) the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.

Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

4.2. Certain Other Distributions. If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding the Company shall cause the holders of its Common Stock to be entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution of:

(i) cash,

(ii) any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property or assets of any nature whatsoever (other than cash or additional shares of Common Stock as provided in Section 4.1 hereof), or

(iii) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property or assets of any nature whatsoever, then:

(1) the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of

this Warrant immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution, multiplied by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the Current Warrant Price per share of Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (y) the denominator of which shall be such Current Warrant Price minus the amount allocable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so distributable; and

(2) the Current Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted to equal (x) the Current Warrant Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the adjustment, divided by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately after such adjustment. A reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 4.2 and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 4.1.

4.3. Securities Issuances. In the event that the Company or any of its subsidiaries (A) issues or sells any Common Stock or convertible securities, warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase or exchange for, shares of Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) or (B) directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities which are currently outstanding, at or to an effective Per Share Selling Price (as defined below) which is less than the greater of (I) the closing sale price per share of the Common Stock on the principal market on which the Common Stock is traded the Trading Day next preceding such issue or sale or, in the case of issuances to holders of its Common Stock, the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such warrants, rights, or options (“Fair Market Price”), or (II) the Current Warrant Price, then in each such case the Current Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or record date, as applicable, shall be automatically reduced effective concurrently with such issue or sale to an amount determined by multiplying the Current Warrant Price then in effect by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for such additional shares would purchase at such Fair Market Price or Current Warrant Price, as the case may be, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately after such issue or sale. The foregoing provision shall not apply to any issuances or sales of Common Stock or Convertible Securities (i) pursuant to any Convertible Securities currently outstanding on the date hereof in accordance with the terms of such Convertible Securities in effect on the date hereof, or (ii) to any officer, director or employee of the Company pursuant to a bona fide option or equity incentive plan duly adopted by the Company. The Company shall give to the Warrantholder written notice of any such sale of Common Stock within 24 hours of the closing of any such sale and shall within such 24 hour period issue a press release announcing such sale if such sale is a material event for, or otherwise material to, the Company.

upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities, and provided further that to the extent such Convertible Securities expire or terminate unconverted or unexercised, then at such time the Current Warrant Price shall be readjusted as if such portion of such Convertible Securities had not been issued.

For purposes of this Section 4.3, if an event occurs that triggers more than one of the above adjustment provisions, then only one adjustment shall be made and the calculation method which yields the greatest downward adjustment in the Current Warrant Price shall be used.

“Per Share Selling Price” shall include the amount actually paid by third parties for each share of Common Stock in a sale or issuance by the Company. In the event a fee is paid by the Company in connection with such transaction directly or indirectly to such third party or its affiliates, any such fee shall be deducted from the selling price pro rata to all shares sold in the transaction to arrive at the Per Share Selling Price. A sale of shares of Common Stock shall include the sale or issuance of Convertible Securities, and in such circumstances the Per Share Selling Price of the Common Stock covered thereby shall also include the exercise, exchange or conversion price thereof (in addition to the consideration received by the Company upon such sale or issuance less the fee amount as provided above). In case of any such security issued in a transaction in which the purchase price or the conversion, exchange or exercise price is directly or indirectly subject to adjustment or reset based on a future date, future trading prices of the Common Stock, specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock, or otherwise (but excluding standard stock split anti-dilution provisions or weighted-average anti-dilution provisions similar to that set forth herein, provided that any actual reduction of such price under any such security pursuant to such weighted-average anti-dilution provision shall be included and cause an adjustment hereunder), the Per Share Selling Price shall be deemed to be the lowest conversion, exchange, exercise or reset price at which such securities are converted, exchanged, exercised or reset or might have been converted, exchanged, exercised or reset, or the lowest adjustment, as the case may be, over the life of such securities. If shares are issued for a consideration other than cash, the Per Share Selling Price shall be the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by independent certified public accountants mutually acceptable to the Company and the Holder. In the event the Company directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities which are currently outstanding, then the Per Share Selling Price shall equal such effectively reduced conversion, exercise or exchange price.

4.4. Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable and the Current Warrant Price provided for in Section 4:

(a) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that any that would otherwise be required may be postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of the Common Stock, as provided for in Section 4.1) up to, but not beyond the date of exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than 1% of the shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment or on the date of exercise. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.

(b) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section 4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest 1/100th of a share.

(c) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Company undertakes a transaction contemplated under this Section 4 and as a result takes a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights or other benefits contemplated under this Section 4 and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights or other benefits contemplated under this Section 4, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.

(d) Escrow of Stock. If after any property becomes distributable pursuant to Section 4 by reason of the taking of any record of the holders of Common Stock, but prior to the occurrence of the event for which such record is taken, a holder of this Warrant exercises the Warrant during such time, then such holder shall continue to be entitled to receive any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereunder by reason of such adjustment and such shares or other property shall be held in escrow for the holder of this Warrant by the Company to be issued to holder of this Warrant upon and to the extent that the event actually takes place. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, if the event for which such record was taken fails to occur or is rescinded, then such escrowed shares shall be canceled by the Company and escrowed property returned to the Company.

4.5. Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets.

(a) If there shall occur a Change of Control and, pursuant to the terms of such Change of Control, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (“Other Property”), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon the exercise of the Warrant, the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and the Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such Change of Control by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event.

(b) In case of any such Change of Control described in Section 4.5(a) above, the resulting, successor or acquiring entity (if other than the Company) and, if an entity different from the successor or acquiring entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive as a result of such Change of Control, shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition contained in this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of shares of the Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in Section 4. For purposes of Section 4, common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets on liquidation over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4 shall similarly apply to successive Change of Control transactions.

4.6. Other Action Affecting Common Stock. In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall take any action in respect of its Common Stock, other than the payment of dividends permitted by Section 4 or any other action described in Section 4, then, unless such action will not have a materially adverse effect upon the rights of the holder of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock or other stock into which this Warrant is exercisable and/or the purchase price thereof shall be adjusted in such manner as may be equitable in the circumstances.

4.7. Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company agrees not to enter into any transaction which, by reason of any adjustment hereunder, would cause the Current Warrant Price to be less than the par value per share of Common Stock.

4.8. Stock Transfer Taxes. The issue of stock certificates upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the holder for any tax in respect of such issue. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares in any name other than that of the holder of this Warrant, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such stock certificate unless and until the person or persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

5. Notices to Warrant Holders.

5.1. Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Current Warrant Price, the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to the Holder of this Warrant a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder of this Warrant, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Current Warrant Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, or other property which at the time would be received upon the exercise of Warrants owned by such Holder.

5.2. Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time:

(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out of earnings or earned surplus legally available for the payment of dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or

(b) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the Company to, another corporation,

(d) the Company shall cause the holders of its Common Stock to be entitled to receive (i) any dividend or other distribution of cash, (ii) any evidences of its indebtedness, or (iii) any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property or assets of any nature whatsoever (other than cash or additional shares of Common Stock as provided in Section 4.1 hereof); or (iv) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property or assets of any nature whatsoever;

then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to the Holder (i) at least 20 days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall be selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 20 days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Each such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to the Holder at the last address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company and delivered in accordance with Section 15.2.

5.3. No Rights as Stockholder. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to exercise and payment for the Warrant Price in accordance with the terms hereof.

6. No Impairment. The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its articles of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant. Upon the request of the Holder, the Company will at any time during the period this Warrant is outstanding acknowledge in writing, in form satisfactory to the Holder, the continuing validity of this Warrant and the obligations of the Company hereunder.

7. Reservation and Authorization of Common Stock; Registration With Approval of Any Governmental Authority. From and after the date of issuance hereof, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issue upon the exercise of Warrants such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants. All shares of

Common Stock which shall be so issuable, when issued upon exercise of any Warrant and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of such Warrant, shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to preemptive rights. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Current Warrant Price below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Current Warrant Price. Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Current Warrant Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of Warrants require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued (other than as a result of a prior or contemplated distribution by the Holder of this Warrant), the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible and at its expense endeavor to cause such shares to be duly registered.

8. Taking of Record; Stock and Warrant Transfer Books. In the case of all dividends or other distributions by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock with respect to which any provision of Section 4 refers to the taking of a record of such holders, the Company will in each such case take such a record and will take such record as of the close of business on a Business Day. The Company will not at any time, except upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, close its stock transfer books or Warrant transfer books so as to result in preventing or delaying the exercise or transfer of any Warrant.

9. Registration Rights. The resale of the Warrant Stock shall be registered in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in that certain Investor Rights Agreement dated of even date hereof, among the Holder, the Company and the other parties named therein (the “Investor Rights Agreement”). The Holder acknowledges that pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Company has the right to request that the Holder furnish information regarding such Holder and the distribution of the Warrant Stock as is required by law or the Commission to be disclosed in the Registration Statement (as such term is defined in the Investor Rights Agreement), and the Company may exclude from such registration the shares of Warrant Stock acquirable hereunder if Holder fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time prior to the filing of each Registration Statement, supplemented prospectus included therein and/or amended Registration Statement.

10. Supplying Information. Upon any default by the Company of its obligations hereunder or under the Investor Rights Agreement, the Company shall cooperate with the Holder in supplying such information as may be reasonably necessary for such Holder to complete and file any information reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the Commission as a condition to the availability of an exemption from the Securities Act for the sale of any Warrant or Restricted Common Stock.

11. Loss or Mutilation. Upon receipt by the Company from the Holder of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto and in case of mutilation upon surrender and cancellation hereof, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu hereof a new Warrant of like tenor to the Holder; provided, however, that in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.

12. Office of the Company. As long as any of the Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall

maintain an office or agency (which may be the principal executive offices of the Company) where the Warrants may be presented for exercise, registration of transfer, division or combination as provided in this Warrant.

13. Financial and Business Information.

13.1. Quarterly Information. The Company will deliver to the Holder, as soon as available and in any event within 45 days after the end of each of the first three quarters of each fiscal year of the Company, one copy of an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of such quarter, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income, retained earnings and cash flow of the Company and its subsidiaries for such quarter and, in the case of the second and third quarters, for the portion of the fiscal year ending with such quarter, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the corresponding periods in the previous fiscal year. Such financial statements shall be prepared by the Company in accordance with GAAP and accompanied by the certification of the Company’s chief executive officer or chief financial officer that such financial statements present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flow of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of such quarter and for such year-to-date period, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to deliver such quarterly information under this Section 13.1 to the extent it is publicly available; and provided further, that if such information contains material non-public information, the Company shall so notify the Holder prior to delivery thereof and the Holder shall have the right to refuse delivery of such information.

13.2. Annual Information.

3. Registration Procedures.

In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

(a) Prepare and file with the Commission on or prior to the Filing Deadline, a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or if such form is not available to the Company on another form appropriate for such registration in accordance herewith) (which shall include a Plan of Distribution substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto), and cause the Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective as provided herein; provided, however, that not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the filing of the Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall (i) furnish to the Special Counsel, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such Special Counsel, and (ii) at the request of any Holder cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent certified public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to such Holders, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company shall not file the Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities or the Special Counsel shall reasonably object in writing within three (3) Business Days after their receipt thereof, unless counsel to the Company determines in writing that such objection is without merit.

(b)(i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and to the extent any Registrable Securities are not included in such Registration Statement for reasons other than the failure of the Holder to comply with Section 3(m) hereof, shall prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) promulgated under the Securities Act; (iii) respond as

promptly as possible, and in no event later than 10 Business Days, to any comments received from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and as promptly as possible provide the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to the Registration Statement; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in the Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.

(c) Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold and the Special Counsel as promptly as possible (A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is proposed to be filed (but in no event in the case of this subparagraph (A), less than three (3) Business Days prior to date of such filing); (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement; and (C) with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective (which notice shall be delivered to the Lead Investor and Special Counsel on the same day as such effectiveness), and after the effectiveness thereof: (i) of any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (iv) if the financial statements included in the Registration Statement become ineligible for inclusion therein or of the occurrence of any event that makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Without limitation to any remedies to which the Holders may be entitled under this Agreement, if any of the events described in clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 3(c)(C) occurs, the Company shall use its best efforts to respond to and correct the event.

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

(e) If requested by any Holder of Registrable Securities, (i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement such

information as the Company reasonably agrees should be included therein and (ii) make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received notification of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to take any action pursuant to this Section 3(e) that would, in the written opinion of counsel for the Company (addressed to the Special Counsel), violate applicable law.

(f) Furnish to each Holder and the Special Counsel, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission.

(g) Promptly deliver to each Holder and the Special Counsel, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request; and the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

(h) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders and the Special Counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder requests in writing, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

(i) Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any Holder may request at least two (2) Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities. In connection therewith, the Company shall promptly after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (but no later than one day thereafter) cause an opinion of counsel to be delivered to and maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent, which authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Registrable Securities without legend upon sale by the Holder of such shares of Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement.

(j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c)(C)(iii) or (iv), as promptly as possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(k) Cause all Registrable Securities relating to such Registration Statement to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market or the OTC Bulletin Board.

(l) Comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and make generally available to its security holders earnings statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 not later than 45 days after the end of any 3-month period (or 90 days after the end of any 12-month period if such period is a fiscal year) commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of the Company after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which statement shall conform to the requirements of Rule 158.

(m) Request each selling Holder to furnish to the Company information regarding such Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as is required by law or the Commission to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, and the Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any such Holder who fails (i) to furnish such information or (ii) to agree to furnish, upon request, such additional information regarding such Holder as may later be required by law to be disclosed, in each case, within a reasonable time prior to the filing of each Registration Statement, supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement.

If the Registration Statement refers to any Holder by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company, then such Holder shall have the right to require (if such reference to such Holder by name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute then in force) the deletion of the reference to such Holder in any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement filed or prepared subsequent to the time that such reference ceases to be required.

Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c)(i), 3(c)(ii), 3(c)(iii), 3(c)(iv) or 3(n), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement contemplated by Section 3(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.

(n) If (i) there is material non-public information regarding the Company which the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) reasonably determines not to be in the Company’s best interest to disclose and which the Company is not otherwise required to disclose, or (ii) there is a significant business opportunity (including, but not limited to, the acquisition or disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or other similar transaction) available to the Company which the Board reasonably determines not to be in the Company’s best interest to disclose and which the Company would be required to disclose under the Registration Statement, then the Company may postpone or suspend filing or effectiveness of a registration statement for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive days, provided that the Company may not postpone or suspend its obligation under this Section 3(n) for more than 30 days in the aggregate during any 12 month period (each, a “Blackout Period”).

4. Registration Expenses.

All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not the Registration Statement is filed or becomes effective and whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with each other securities exchange, quotation system, market or over-the-counter bulletin board on which Registrable Securities are required hereunder to be listed, (B) with respect to filings required to be made with the Commission, and (C) in compliance with state securities or Blue Sky laws (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of Special Counsel in connection with Blue Sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities and determination of the eligibility of the Registrable Securities for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities may designate)), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing or photocopying prospectuses), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, (v) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company’s independent public accountants (including, in the case of an underwritten offering, the expenses of any comfort letters or costs associated with the delivery by independent public accountants of a comfort letter or comfort letters) and legal counsel, and (vi) fees and expenses of the Special Counsel in connection with any Registration Statement hereunder. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit, the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder.

5. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, 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 Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference 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 amendment 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 or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, which information was reasonably relied on by the Company for use therein or to the extent that such information relates to (x) such Holder and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (y) such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities as set forth in Exhibit A (or as such Holder otherwise informs the Company in writing); or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type described in Section 3(c)(ii), 3(c)(iii), 3(c)(iv) or 3(n), the use by a Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the delivery to the Holder of written notice from the Company that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 3(m). The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party (as defined in Section 5(c) to this Agreement) and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Holders.

(b) Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder 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 and employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising solely out of or based solely upon 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 or based solely upon 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 the 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 contained in or omitted from any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or such Prospectus and that such information was reasonably relied upon by the Company for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or to the extent that such information relates to (x) such Holder and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus, or such form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (y) such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities as set forth in Exhibit A (or as such Holder otherwise informs the Company in writing) or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type described in Section 3(c)(ii), 3(c)(iii), 3(c)(iv) or 3(n), the use by a Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the delivery to the Holder of written notice from the Company that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 3(m); provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be liable under this Section 5(b) for only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Holder as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

(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 promptly shall 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 reasonable 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: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (2) 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 (3) 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 in writing (with a copy to the Indemnifying Party) 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 reasonable 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 and does not impose any monetary or other obligation or restriction on the Indemnified Party.

All reasonable 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 (10) Business Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, which notice shall be delivered no more frequently than on a monthly basis (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 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party because of a failure or refusal of a governmental authority to enforce such indemnification in accordance with its terms (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 5(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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be required to contribute under this Section 5(d) for only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Holder as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(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. 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. The indemnity and contribution agreements herein are in addition to and not in diminution or limitation of any indemnification provisions under the Purchase Agreement.

6. Rule 144.

As long as any Holder owns any Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares, 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 Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. As long as any Holder owns any Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Holders and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) promulgated under the Securities Act annual and quarterly financial statements, together with a discussion and analysis of such financial statements in form and substance substantially similar to those that would otherwise be required to be included in reports required by Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as well as any other information required thereby, in the time period that such filings would have been required to have been made under the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell Shares and Warrant Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, including compliance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement relating to the transfer of the Shares and Warrant Shares. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

7. Covenants of Purchasers.

In connection with the Registration Statement, each of the Purchasers covenants as follows:

(a) Unless and until such Purchaser has provided written notice to the Company to the contrary, all sales of Registrable Securities by such Purchaser shall be made without payment of underwriting discounts or commissions except for the usual and customary commission paid to brokers or dealers.

(b) Such Purchaser shall advise the Company of any arrangement with a broker or dealer for the sale of such Purchaser’s Registrable Securities through a block trade, special offering, exchange or secondary distribution or a principal purchase by a broker or dealer, and the details of such transaction.

(c) Such Purchaser shall comply with all prospectus delivery requirements with respect to sales of the Registrable Securities to the extent required by the Securities Act and other applicable law.

(d) Such Purchaser shall report to the Company, upon written request of the Company, whether all Registrable Securities held by such Purchaser have been sold or otherwise transferred.

8. Miscellaneous.

(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(b) No Inconsistent Agreements. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Purchase Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a party to an agreement currently in effect, nor shall the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, the Company shall not grant to any Person the right to request the Company to register any securities of the Company under the Securities Act unless the rights so granted are subject in all respects to the prior rights in full of the Holders set forth herein, and are not otherwise in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Notice of Effectiveness. Within two (2) Business Days after the Registration Statement which includes the Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the Commission, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Holders whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement) confirmation that the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the holders of Registrable Securities.

(d) Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time when there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities, 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 its 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, the Company shall send to each Holder of Registrable Securities written notice of such determination and, if within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by the Holder), the Company will cause the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holder, to the extent required to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be registered, provided that if at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to such Holder and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay expenses in accordance with Section 4 hereof), and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities being registered pursuant to this Section 8(d) for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities. The Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 8(d) that are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act. In the case of an underwritten public offering, if the managing underwriter(s) or underwriter(s) should reasonably object to the inclusion of the Registrable Securities in such registration statement, then if the Company after consultation with the managing underwriter should reasonably determine that the inclusion of such Registrable Securities, would materially adversely affect the offering contemplated in such registration statement, and based on such determination recommends inclusion in such registration statement of fewer or none of the Registrable Securities of the Holders, then (x) the number of Registrable Securities of the Holders included in such registration statement shall be reduced pro-rata among such Holders (based upon the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration), if the Company after consultation with the underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of fewer Registrable Securities, or (y) none of the Registrable Securities of the Holders shall be included in such registration statement, if the Company after consultation with the underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of none of such Registrable Securities; provided, however, that if securities are being offered for the account of other persons or entities as well as the Company, such reduction shall not represent a greater fraction of the number of Registrable Securities intended to be offered by the Holders than the fraction of similar reductions imposed on such other persons or entities (other than the Company).

(e) Failure to File Registration Statement and Other Events. The Company and the Holders agree that the Holders will suffer damages if the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Deadline and maintained in the manner contemplated herein during the Effectiveness Period. The Company and the Holders further agree that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, if (i) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Deadline, 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 (5) Business Days of 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 not subject to further review, or (iii) the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission as to all Registrable Securities within one hundred (100) days after the Closing Date, or (iv) the Registration Statement is filed with and declared effective by the Commission but thereafter ceases to be effective as to all Registrable Securities at any time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period, without being succeeded promptly by a subsequent Registration Statement filed with the Commission, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 3(n), or (v) trading in the Common Stock shall be suspended or if the Common Stock is delisted from any securities exchange, quotation system, market or over-the-counter bulletin board on which Registrable Securities are required hereunder to be listed (each an “Exchange”), without immediately being listed on any other Exchange, for any reason for more than one (1) Business Day, other than pursuant to Section 3(n), or (vi) the exercise rights of the Holders under the Warrants are suspended for any reason without the consent of the particular Holder, or (vii) the Company has breached Section 3(n) of this Agreement (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”), then as liquidated damages for such failure or breach and not as a penalty, the Company shall issue to the Holder each month during the continuance of such Event (pro rated for any partial month) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 2.5% of the number of shares of Common Stock purchased by Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement until the applicable Event has been cured; provided that such liquidated damages shall not be payable to any Holder other than Sigma Opportunity Fund, LLC and its permitted assigns. The parties agree that such payment represents a reasonable estimate on the part of the parties, as of the date of this Agreement, of the amount of damages that may be incurred by the Holders if the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to Filing Deadline and maintained in the manner contemplated herein during the Effectiveness Period or if any other Event as described herein has occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall remain obligated to cure the breach or correct the condition that caused the Event, and the Holder shall have the right to take any action necessary or desirable to enforce such obligation.

(f) Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction.

(i) The Company and the Holders acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity.

(ii) Each of the Company and the Holders (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York City, New York for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and

the Holders consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof 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 in this Section 8(f) shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(g) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of at least 75% of the Registrable Securities. 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 Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence.

(h) 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 earlier of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified for notice prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, (ii) the next Business Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Business Day or later than 5:00 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 Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service such as Federal Express or (iv) actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The addresses for such communications shall be with respect to each Holder at its address set forth under its name on Schedule 1 attached hereto, or with respect to the Company, addressed to:


		Avatech Solutions, Inc.
		10715 Red Run Blvd., Suite 101
		Owings Mills, MD 21117
		Attention: Chief Executive Officer
		Facsimile No.: (410) ###-###-####

or to such other address or addresses or facsimile number or numbers as any such party may most recently have designated in writing to the other parties hereto by such notice. Copies of notices to any Holder shall be sent to the addresses, if any, listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto.

(i) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder and its successors and assigns; provided, that the Company may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Holder; and provided, further, that each Holder may assign its rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under the Purchase Agreement.

(j) Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights of each Holder hereunder, including the right to have the Company register for resale Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be automatically assignable by each Holder to any transferee of such Holder of all or a portion of the Shares, the Warrants or the Registrable Securities if: (i) the Holder agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (iii) following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignees is restricted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this Section 8(j), the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement, and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Purchase Agreement. The rights to assignment shall apply to the Holders (and to subsequent) successors and assigns.

The Company may require, as a condition of allowing such assignment in connection with a transfer of Shares, Warrants or Registrable Securities (i) that the Holder or transferee of all or a portion of the Shares, the Warrants or the Registrable Securities as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act, (ii) that the Holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the transferee be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act.

(k) Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by electronic image or facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid 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 electronic image or facsimile signature were the original thereof.

(l) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of law thereof.

(m) Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

(n) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable in

any respect, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

(o) Headings. 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.

(p) [Reserved]

(q) Obligations of Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that 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 enter into to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser. The Company further acknowledges that nothing contained in this Agreement, 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 hereby. 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.

Each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of this Agreement and with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. For reasons of administrative convenience only, this Agreement has been prepared by Special Counsel (counsel for Sigma Opportunity Fund, LLC (“Sigma”)) and the Special Counsel will perform certain duties under this Agreement. Such counsel does not represent all of the Purchasers but only Sigma. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Agreement for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that such procedure with respect to this Agreement in no way creates a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the shares of common stock on behalf of the selling security holders. Sales of shares may be made by selling security holders, including their respective donees, transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest directly to purchasers or to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or through agents. Sales may be made from time to time on any other exchange or market upon which our shares may trade in the future, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to market prices, or at negotiated or fixed prices. The shares may be sold by one or more of, or a combination of, the following:

•

a block trade in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction (including crosses in which the same broker acts as agent for both sides of the transaction);

•

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer, including resales for its account, pursuant to this prospectus;

•

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchases;

•

through options, swaps or derivatives;

•

in privately negotiated transactions;

•

in making short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus or in transactions to cover such short sales; and

•

put or call option transactions relating to the shares.

The selling security holders may effect these transactions by selling shares directly to purchasers or to or through broker-dealers, which may act as agents or principals. These broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling security holders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principals, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions). The selling security holders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their securities.

The selling security holders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with those transactions, the broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the shares or of securities convertible into or exchangeable for the shares in the course of hedging positions they assume with the selling security holders. The selling security holders may also enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery of shares offered by this prospectus to those broker-dealers or other financial institutions. The broker-dealer or other financial institution may then resell the shares pursuant to this prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if required by applicable law, to reflect those transactions).

The selling security holders and any broker-dealers that act in connection with the sale of shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, and any commissions received by broker-dealers or any profit on the resale of the shares sold by them while acting as principals may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. The selling security holders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares against liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. We have agreed to indemnify each of the selling security holders and each selling security holder has agreed, severally and not jointly, to indemnify us against some liabilities in connection with the offering of the shares, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

The selling security holders will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. We have informed the selling security holders that the anti-manipulative provisions of Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to their sales in the market.

Selling security holders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of Rule 144.

Upon being notified by a selling security holder that a material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing:

•

the name of each such selling security holder and of the participating broker-dealer(s);

•

the number of shares involved;

•

the initial price at which the shares were sold;

•

the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to the broker-dealer(s), where applicable;

•

that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus; and

•

other facts material to the transactions.

In addition, if required under applicable law or the rules or regulations of the Commission, we will file a supplement to this prospectus when a selling security holder notifies us that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock.

We are paying all expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares. The selling security holders will bear all brokerage or underwriting discounts or commissions paid to broker-dealers in connection with the sale of the shares.

And the other purchasers named in the Purchase Agreement (hereinafter defined)

Re: Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as of January 29, 2007 between Avatech Solutions, Inc. and the Purchasers named therein (“Purchase Agreement”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Avatech Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

The documents we have examined in rendering this opinion, and upon which we have relied, include the following:

(a) Executed originals of the following documents (collectively the “Transaction Documents”):

(1)

the Purchase Agreement;

(2)

the form of Common Stock Purchase Warrant, attached to the Purchase Agreement as Exhibit B;

(3)

the Investor Rights Agreement;

(4)

the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws (as amended);

(5)

other certificates and instruments executed by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed:

(a) Each of the parties to the Transaction Documents (other than the Company) has the power and authority to: (i) enter into the Transaction Documents and all other agreements or documents required to be executed by them pursuant to the Transaction Documents; and (ii) perform all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents and all other agreements or documents required to be executed by it pursuant to the Transaction Documents;

(b) All required actions and authorizations (other than on behalf of the Company) have been taken or completed; and

(c) The authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of all signatures (other than signatures on behalf of the Company), and the conformity to the originally executed documents of all documents submitted to me as photocopies.

Whenever our opinion is indicated to be based on “our knowledge” or facts “known to us,” those terms are intended to signify that, during the course of our representation of the Company, no information has come to our attention that would give us actual knowledge of the existence or absence of the indicated facts. Except for our review of the documents described above, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of such facts, and no inference of further knowledge should be drawn from our representation of the Company. In addition, as to matters of fact, we have obtained from public officials and from officers of the Company such other certificates and assurances, and have examined such company records, other documents, and questions of law, as we have considered necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date of this letter:

1. The Company is a corporation duly organized and existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted.

2. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform the Transaction Documents and to issue the Shares and Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and to issue the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Underlying Shares”) in accordance with the terms of the Warrants.

3. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby, including without limitation the issuance of the Shares and Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the issuance of the Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, have been duly authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors and no further consent or authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is required.

4. The Transaction Documents constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms.

5. The authorized capital stock of the Company is as stated in Section 3.20 of the Purchase Agreement. The Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company do not contain any preemptive or similar rights binding on the Common Stock of the Company.

6. The Shares and Warrants are duly authorized, and when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable. The Underlying Shares are duly authorized, and when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, will be validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and free of any preemptive or similar rights contained in the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company. The Company has duly and validly reserved for issuance the requisite number of Underlying Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

7. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including without limitation the issuance of the Shares and Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the issuance of the Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, do not and will not result in a violation of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws.

8. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including without limitation the issuance of the Shares and Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the issuance of the Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, (i) do not and will not result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to the Company, or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, and (ii) will not require the Company to obtain any approval, consent, authorization, waiver, exemption or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental or regulatory agency or any third party in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or to issue and deliver the Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms of the Warrant or for the Purchasers to exercise their rights and remedies under any of the Transaction Documents (other than any SEC or state securities filings which may be required to be made by the Company subsequent to the Closing, and any registration statement which may be filed pursuant the Investor Rights Agreement).

9. Assuming and relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement by all the parties thereto, the offer, issuance, sale and delivery of the Shares, Warrants and Underlying Shares to the Purchasers in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents constitutes a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

10. To our knowledge, the Common Stock is listed and authorized for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board as of the close of business on the trading day immediately preceding the date hereof, and no suspension of such listing or trading in the shares of Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board is in effect, or to our knowledge threatened, on the date hereof.

11. The Company does not have any active subsidiaries except as listed in the Company’s latest SEC Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary and where the failure so to qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

12. To our knowledge, there have not been any shares of the capital stock of the Company issued which are not validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, including the Shares issued under the Transaction Documents. To our knowledge, all shares of Common Stock of the Company, including the Shares, are free of any preemptive or similar rights contained in any material agreement by which the Company is bound.

13. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including without limitation the issuance of the Shares and Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the issuance of the Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, do not and will not result in a violation of or 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 agreement, indenture or instrument of which we have knowledge to which the Company is a party or its property is bound (except for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

14. Other than as described in the SEC Documents, there is, to our knowledge, no litigation pending or threatened against the Company which, if decided adversely to the Company, would (i) have a Material Adverse Effect, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, or (ii) adversely affect the enforceability of the Transaction Documents or interfere with the consummation of the transactions described in the Transaction Documents, including without limitation the issuance of the Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms of the Warrants.

15. In the process of our review of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 (the “Form 10-K”), and any of the other reports filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, since the date of the filing of the Form 10-K, nothing has come to our attention that would lead us to believe that any of such reports contains any untrue statement of a material fact that is required to be stated, or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, as of its filing date.
