The term Registration Statement as used in this Agreement means the Registration Statement at the time it became effective and as supplemented or amended from time to time, including all financial schedules and exhibits thereto and all documents incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein.

The offering, sale and issuance of the Shares to the Investor are registered under the Act by the Registration Statement and the Supplemental Registration Statement, and no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Company shall cause such Shares not to be freely transferable and tradable by the Investor without restriction. The Shares are being issued as described in the Registration Statement.

(i) The Company has not, in the twelve (12) months preceding the date hereof, received notice from the Trading Market to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements thereof. The issuance and sale of the Shares hereunder complies in all material respects with the rules or regulations of the Trading Market.
(j) Since the date of the Companys latest audited financial statements included in the SEC Reports (as defined below) and except as disclosed in the SEC Reports or the Registration Statement, (i) there has been no event, occurrence or development that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the Company has not incurred any liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade payables and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (B) liabilities not required to be reflected in the Companys financial statements pursuant to GAAP or required to be disclosed in filings made with the Commission, (iii) the Company has not altered its method of accounting or the identity of its auditors, (iv) the Company has not declared or made any dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its shareholders or purchased, redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or redeem any shares of its capital stock, and (v) the Company has not issued any equity securities to any officer or director, except pursuant to existing Company stock option and employee plans.

(k) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Investor is acting solely in the capacity of an arms length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company further acknowledges that the Investor is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and that any statement made by the Investor or any of its representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is not advice or a recommendation and is merely incidental to the Investors purchase of the Shares and has not been relied upon by the Company, its officers or directors in any way.
(l) Other than as set forth in the Prospectus, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending to which the Company is a party or of which property of the Company is the subject which, if determined adversely to the Company would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on the financial position, shareholders equity or results of operations of the Company and, to the best of Companys knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened. Neither the Company, nor any director or officer thereof, is or has been the subject of any action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty, or any criminal statute during the term of such director or officers tenure with the Company, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, prior to such tenure that is of a nature that would be required to be disclosed in the Companys SEC Reports pursuant to Item 103 of Regulation S-K with regard to the Company or Item 401 of Regulation S-K with regard to the Companys officers or directors. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the Commission involving the Company. The Commission has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company under the Exchange Act or the Act.
(m) The Company possesses all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct its businesses as described in the SEC Reports, except where the failure to possess such certificates, authorizations or permits would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect (Material Permits), and the Company has not received any written notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.
(n) The Company has filed all reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the two (2) years preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by law to file such material) (the foregoing materials, including the Companys proxy statements on Schedule 14A, being collectively referred to herein as the SEC Reports) on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension. As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
5
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 financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports, as subsequently amended, 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 all material respects in accordance with United States 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 footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company 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, year-end audit adjustments.
(o) The Company has, or has rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and other similar rights (collectively, the Intellectual Property Rights) that are necessary or material for use in connection with its business as described in the SEC Reports and the Registration Statement and which the failure to so have would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company has not received a written notice that the Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company violates or infringes upon the rights of any Person, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(p) The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with managements general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with managements 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.

(r) The Company shall (i) before the Trading Market opens on the next trading day after the date hereof, issue a press release, disclosing all material aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) on or before 8:00 p.m., New York City Time, on the first business day following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K, describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the form required by the Exchange Act, and attaching the form of this Agreement as an exhibit to such filing (including all attachments, the 8-K Filing). The Company shall not
6
identify the Investor by name in any press release or public filing, or otherwise publicly disclose the Investors name, without the Investors prior, written consent, unless disclosure of the Investors name is required by law.
6. The Investor hereby makes the following representations, warranties and covenants to the Company:
(a) The Investor is purchasing the Shares for its own account, in the ordinary course of its business and the Investor has no arrangement with any Person to participate in the distribution of the Shares. The Investor represents that it has received the Prospectus prior to or in connection with its receipt of this Agreement. In connection with its decision to purchase the Shares, the Investor has relied only upon the Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference therein, the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein and its own investigation, if any, of the Company (provided that no such investigation shall affect the Investors right to rely upon the Prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference therein and the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein).
(b) The Investor, together with its affiliates (as that term is defined under Rule 405 of the Act), has not, prior to the date of this Agreement, sold, offered to sell, solicited offers to buy, disposed of, loaned, pledged or granted any right with respect to (collectively, a Disposition), the Shares purchased in the Offering. Such prohibited sales or other transactions would include, without limitation, effecting any short sale or having in effect any short position (whether or not such sale or position is against the box and regardless of when such position was entered into) or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to the Shares purchased in the offering made by the Prospectus.
(c) If previously requested by the Company, the Investor has furnished to the Company accurate and complete information regarding any transactions taking a short or long position in the Companys common stock or any derivatives thereof made by the Investor, together with its affiliates (as that term is defined under Rule 405 of the Act), during the three (3) months preceding the date hereof. If the Company determines that the Investor or any of its affiliates (as previously defined) used any of the Shares to cover any short positions that were entered into during such three-month period by the Investor or such affiliates, the Investor agrees to pay to the Company the entire amount it received as profit in covering such short position and any fees and expenses incurred by the Company in making such determination.
(d) The Investor shall not issue any press release or make any other public announcement relating to this Agreement unless (i) the content thereof is mutually agreed to by the Company and the Investor, or (ii) the Investor is advised by its counsel that such press release or public announcement is required by law. The Investor will timely make all required filings and disclosures relating to the Investors purchase of the Shares as may be required under the Exchange Act, if any.
(e) The Investor has the requisite power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Investor and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereunder have been duly authorized by all
7
necessary action on the part of the Investor. This Agreement has been duly executed by the Investor and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Investor enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally or by general principles of equity.
(f) The Investor understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented to the Investor in connection with the purchase or sale of the Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Investor has consulted such legal, tax or investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Shares.
7. Performance of the parties respective obligations hereunder shall be subject to the following conditions:
(a) The Investors obligation to purchase the Shares will be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the Company in Section 5 hereof as of the Closing.
(b) The Companys obligation to sell and issue to the Investor the Shares will be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the Investor in Section 6 hereof as of the Closing.
8. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8, the Company will indemnify and hold the Investor and its directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees and agents (each, an Investor Party) harmless from (a) any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys fees and costs of investigation that any such Investor Party may suffer or incur (the Indemnified Liabilities) as a result of or relating to any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement and (b) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Investor Party by a non-governmental third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Investor. The Company shall not be liable to any Investor under this provision in respect of any Indemnified Liability if such liability arises out of any misrepresentation by the Investor in Section 6 of this Agreement or actions taken by such Investor otherwise than as explicitly set forth herein. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. If any action shall be brought against any Investor Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Investor Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing. Any Investor Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof (it being understood, however, that the Company shall not be liable for the expenses of more than
8
one separate counsel (other than local counsel), reasonably approved by the Company), but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Investor Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Investor Party. The Company will not be liable to any Investor Party under this Section 8 for any settlement by an Investor Party effected without the Companys prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Investor Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Investor Party of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liabilities or litigation. The indemnification required by this Section shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Liabilities are incurred.
9. The Company shall pay on demand all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Investor, including reasonable legal fees and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement up to a maximum aggregate amount equal to 0.15% of the Purchase Price.
10. Right of First Offer.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions specified in this Section 10, the Company hereby grants to the Investor a right of first offer with respect to that percentage of future sales by the Company of its Equity Securities (as hereinafter defined) that equals the Pro Rata Percentage (as defined below) at any time from the date hereof through September 29, 2010. Pro Rata Percentage means that percentage of the Companys Equity Securities beneficially owned by the Investor on a fully diluted basis on the date hereof. For purposes of this Section 10, the Investor includes any general partners and affiliates of the Investor and the Investor shall be entitled to apportion the right of first offer hereby granted it among itself, its partners and affiliates in such proportions as it deems appropriate.
(b) Each time the Company proposes to offer or issue any shares of, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of, any class of its capital stock (the Equity Securities) to any Person or group of Persons, the Company shall first offer such Equity Securities to the Investor in accordance with the following provisions:
(i) The Company shall deliver a notice (the Notice) to the Investor stating (A) its bona fide intention to offer or issue such Equity Securities, (B) the number of such Equity Securities to be offered or issued, (C) the price and terms upon which it proposes to offer or issue such Equity Securities and (D) the identity of the proposed purchasers of such Equity Securities if known;
(ii) By written notification received by the Company within five (5) calendar days after receipt of the Notice by the Investor (the Notice Period), the Investor may elect to purchase, at the price and on the terms specified in the Notice, all or any portion of the Pro Rata Percentage of the Equity Securities being offered; and
9
(iii) If the Investor does not elect to purchase the Pro Rata Percentage of the Equity Securities being offered, the Company may, during the sixty (60) day period following the expiration of the Notice Period, offer all of the remaining unsubscribed portion of such Equity Securities to any Person or group of Persons at a price not less than 90% of, and upon terms that are materially no more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Notice. If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the Equity Securities within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within thirty (30) days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived with respect to such Pro Rata Percentage of the Equity Securities and such Equity Securities shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Investor in accordance herewith.
(c) The right of first offer in this Section 10 shall not be applicable to:
(i) the issuance of Equity Securities pursuant to a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation, under the Companys stockholder rights plan (hereinafter referred to as Common Stock Equivalents) without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof);
(ii) the issuance of shares of Common Stock or options therefor to employees, consultants, officers, or directors of the Company directly or pursuant to a stock option plan or restricted stock purchase plan in each case approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (or the compensation committee thereof);
(iii) the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities outstanding as of the date hereof or subsequently issued after compliance with this Section 10;
(iv) the issuance of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of any class of the Companys capital stock in connection with a bona fide business acquisition of or by the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, sale or exchange of stock or otherwise, each as approved by the Board of Directors of the Company;
(v) the issuance of securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of any class of the Companys capital stock in connection with a debt financing by the Company; or
(vi) the issuance of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of any class of the Companys capital stock in connection with a corporate collaboration or partnering agreement or arrangement, including but not limited to a licensing arrangement relating to one or more of the Companys product candidates.

11. Purchase Option.
(a) From such time as the Company has less than $10 million in cash and cash equivalents (as reflected on the Companys regularly prepared balance sheet) until September 29, 2009, the Investor shall have the right to purchase (the Purchase Option) up to Two Million Three Hundred Seven Thousand Six Hundred Ninety Two and No/100 Dollars ($2,307,692) (the Purchase Option Price) of additional shares of the Companys Common Stock (the Purchase Option Shares) at a per share price equal to the greater of (i) the Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined) of a share of the Companys Common Stock or (ii) 120% of the price per share paid under this Agreement (the Exercise Price) by delivering written notice of such election to the Company (the Purchase Notice). The Purchase Notice shall specify the total dollar amount of shares that the Investor is electing to purchase and the proposed closing date (the Purchase Option Closing). The Purchase Option may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time starting with such date that the Company has less than $10 million in cash and cash equivalents (as reflected on the Companys regularly prepared balance sheet). The Purchase Option Closing shall be effected in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Closing and the term Shares as used herein shall thereafter refer to the Purchase Option Shares as well as the Shares, except that the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall be made by the Company as of the date of the Purchase Option Closing except for any matters that are required to be disclosed as a result of new developments that occur from the time of this Agreement to the time that such new representations and warranties are made. For purposes of this Agreement, the term Fair Market Value shall mean:
(i) if the Companys Common Stock is traded on a securities exchange (including any Nasdaq market), the Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of a share of Common Stock on such exchange over the thirty (30) day period immediately prior to the date of the Purchase Option Notice;
(ii) if the Companys Common Stock is traded over-the-counter, the Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) of a share of Common Stock over the thirty (30) day period immediately prior to the date of the Purchase Option Notice; and
(iii) if there is no active public market for the Companys Common Stock, the fair market value shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith.
(b) Promptly following the Closing, and in no event later than 30 days following the Closing, the Company shall file an additional shelf registration statement (the Additional Registration Statement) on Form S-3 registering a sufficient number of shares to permit the sale and issuance of the Purchase Option Shares based on the then current Fair Market Value of the Companys Common Stock, and shall use its best efforts to cause such Additional Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible. In addition, with respect to the Additional Registration Statement, the Company shall:
11
(i) keep such registration statement effective until all such Purchase Option Shares are sold;
(ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Additional Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Additional Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Additional Registration Statement;
