(b) The “Share Price” means $7.84.

2. Closing Date; Deliveries.

2.1 Closing Date. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the purchase and sale of the Shares (the “Closing”) shall be held on or prior to the second (2^nd) business day after the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the Closing (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied or waived at the Closing) or such other date upon which the Company and the Investor may agree. The date of the Closing is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.”

The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Investor that, except as set forth in the corresponding section of the Disclosure Schedule delivered to Investor concurrently with the execution hereof (the “Disclosure Schedule”) or in another section of the Disclosure Schedule, but only to the extent the relevance to any other Section is reasonably apparent from the actual text of such disclosure, or as otherwise set forth in the Company’s Amendment No. 8 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on January 31, 2006 (the “Registration Statement”) or any Annual Report on Form 10-K or Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC at least two (2) business days prior to the date hereof, the statements contained in this Section 3 are true and correct as of the date hereof:

The Company, and each of its Subsidiaries, is qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to qualify would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”). The Company has delivered to the Investor true, correct and complete copies of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and the Company’s Bylaws in effect on the date hereof.

(c) As of March 22, 2006, of the authorized Common Stock (i) 195,629 shares have been reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants, and (ii) 1,706,045 shares have been reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding options or other stock-based awards under the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan, 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, 2005 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan and the 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and (iii) an aggregate of 866,009 shares remain available for future issuance of options or other stock-based awards under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, the 2005 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan and the 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

There are no options, warrants, convertible securities, or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character relating to the capital stock of any Subsidiary.

This Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement Amendment have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and this Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms (except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application relating to or affecting enforcement of creditors rights, or by equitable principles and except as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by state or federal securities laws or public policy underlying such laws).

3.5 No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement Amendment, the performance of this Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement and compliance with the provisions hereof and thereof by the Company, will not:

(a) violate any provision of law, statute, ordinance, rule or regulation or any ruling, writ, injunction, order, judgment or decree of any court, administrative agency or other Governmental Authority (as used herein, “Governmental Authority” shall mean any nation or government, any federal, state, municipal, local, provincial, regional or other political subdivision thereof, and any Person exercising executive, legislative, judicial regulatory or administrative functions of or pertaining to government), the violation of which would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect;

Since September 30, 2005, the Company has not incurred any unpaid indebtedness for money borrowed or any other contractual liabilities of the type required to be disclosed on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), in excess of $200,000 in any instance, or $500,000 in the aggregate, other than liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business.

(b) To the Company’s knowledge, no employee of, or consultant to, the Company or its Subsidiaries is in violation of any term of any employment contract, patent disclosure agreement or any other contract or agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary including, but not limited to, those matters relating to (i) the relationship of any such employee with the Company or any Subsidiary, or (ii) unfair competition, trade secrets or proprietary information.

(b) Schedule 3.11(b) contains a complete and accurate list of all material agreements required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Item 601 of Regulation S-K that

have not been so filed by the Company prior to the date hereof granting any rights (including, without limitation, licenses, options and covenants not to sue) with respect to any of the Company Rights (collectively, the “Material IP Contracts”), specifically indicating, as applicable, each amendment thereto.

3.12 Agreements; Action.

(a) There are no agreements, understandings, transactions or proposed transactions between the Company or any Subsidiary and any of its officers, directors, or affiliates of a nature required to be disclosed pursuant to the provisions of Item 404 of Regulation S-K, and none of any such individuals or entities has any material interest in any such agreement, understanding, transaction or proposed transaction of a nature required to be disclosed pursuant to the provisions of Item 404 of Regulation S-K.

(b) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary thereof has (i) declared or paid any dividends, or authorized or made any distribution upon or with respect to any class or series of its capital stock (other than a dividend or distribution by a wholly-owned Subsidiary to the Company or to another wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company), (ii) since September 30, 2005, made any loans or advances to any Person in excess of $200,000 in any one instance and $500,000 in the aggregate, other than ordinary advances to employees for travel expenses or in the ordinary course of business, or (iii) since September 30, 2005, sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed of any of its assets or rights that would have been required to be disclosed by the Company in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

(d) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all obligations, agreements and conditions contained in any evidence of indebtedness or any loan agreement or other contract or agreement (whether or not relating to indebtedness) to which the Company or such Subsidiary is a party or is subject (collectively, the “Obligations”), the lack of compliance with which could afford any Person the right to (i) accelerate any indebtedness or (ii) terminate any right or agreement of the Company or such Subsidiary, the acceleration or termination of which would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. To the Company’s knowledge, all other parties to such Obligations are in compliance with the terms and conditions of such Obligations, except where such failure to be in compliance would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) There are no agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts or proposed transactions to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which it is bound

that are required to be filed by the Company as material exhibits pursuant to Item 601 of Regulation S-K that have not been so filed and may involve (i) obligations (contingent or otherwise) of, or payments to, the Company or such Subsidiary in excess of $500,000, other than obligations of, or payments to, the Company or a Subsidiary arising from purchase or sale agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business or (ii) the license of any patent, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right to or from the Company or a Subsidiary, other than licenses arising from the purchase of “off the shelf” or other standard products.

3.13 Registration Rights. Other than pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Company does not have any obligation to provide registration rights with respect to shares of the Company’s capital stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including piggyback rights, to any Person.

3.14 Title to Property and Assets. The Company has good title to, or has valid rights to lease or otherwise use, all of the property and assets reflected on its balance sheet as of September 30, 2005, except those assets sold, consumed or otherwise disposed of since the date of such balance sheet in the ordinary course of business, none of which assets sold, consumed or otherwise disposed of since the date of such balance sheet, either alone or in the aggregate are material, either in nature or amount, to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries. With respect to the property and assets they lease, each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is in all respects in compliance with such leases, has not received written notice of any allegations that it is in default thereunder in any respect and holds a valid leasehold interest in such property and assets free of any Encumbrances, except where such failure to be in compliance, or such default or Encumbrance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.15 Financial Statements and SEC Filings.

(a) The Company has (i) made available to the Investor the Registration Statement containing its audited financial statements at and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 (the “Audited Financial Statements”) and its unaudited financial statements at and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 (the “Interim Financial Statements”) and (ii) delivered to the Investor its unaudited financial statements at and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 (the “2005 Unaudited Financial Statements” and together with the Audited Financial Statements and the Interim Financial Statements, collectively, the “Financial Statements”), and with respect to the Audited Financial Statements, the notes thereto. The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated and fairly present the financial condition and operating results of the Company as of the dates, and for the periods, indicated therein, except as may be otherwise indicated in the Financial Statements or notes thereto or, in the case of the Interim Financial Statements or the 2005 Unaudited Financial Statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes, do not reflect year-end adjustments or may conform to the SEC’s rules and instructions for disclosure with respect to interim periods. The Company’s audited financial statements at and for the end of the year ended December 31, 2005, as they will be filed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, will not differ in the aggregate in any material respect in any manner adverse to the Company from the 2005 Unaudited Financial Statements, except for the completion of footnotes. The Company maintains and consistently applies and will

continue to maintain and consistently apply a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with GAAP.

(b) Since January 31, 2006, the Company has filed with the SEC all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents, including the Registration Statement and the prospectus contained therein (including exhibits and all other information incorporated therein) required by federal securities laws to be filed with the SEC (“Company SEC Documents”). As of their respective dates, the Company SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to such Company SEC Documents, and no Company SEC Documents when filed contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted 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.

3.16 Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) that are effective in all material respects to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including any consolidated Subsidiaries, is made known to its chief executive officer and chief financial officer by others within those entities.

3.17 Accounting Controls. The Company maintains a system of accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets, (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 existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

3.18 Employee Benefit Plans. There are no “employee benefit plans” as such term is defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary or any stock purchase plan, stock option plan, fringe benefit plan, bonus plan or any other deferred compensation agreement, plan, practice or pending arrangement sponsored, maintained or to which contributions are made by the Company by or on behalf of current or former employees of the Company or any Subsidiary, their dependents or any other party. The Company has no current plans to substantially alter the benefits or coverage available under any of the employee benefit, employee pension benefit or other plans, arrangements or practices referred to above.

3.19 Tax Returns, Payments and Elections . The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has filed all tax returns and reports as required, and within the time prescribed by law (including, for this purpose, any permitted extension), including without limitation, all federal, state and local income, excise or franchise tax returns, real estate and personal property tax returns, sales and use tax returns, payroll tax returns and other tax returns or reports required to be filed by it. These returns and reports are true and correct in all material respects. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has paid or made provision for the payment of all accrued and unpaid taxes and other charges to which the Company or any Subsidiary is subject and

which are not currently due and payable. The federal income tax returns of the Company have never been audited, and none of the Company’s Subsidiaries are currently subject to any audit, by the Internal Revenue Service, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has agreed to an extension of the statute of limitations with respect to any of its tax years. Neither the Internal Revenue Service nor any other taxing authority is now asserting, nor is threatening to assert, against the Company or any Subsidiary any deficiency or claim for additional taxes or interest thereon or penalties in connection therewith.

3.20 Insurance. The Company has in full force and effect fire, casualty and liability insurance policies, with coverage, in the case of property insurance, in such amount (subject to reasonable deductibles) as the Company believes is necessary to allow it to replace any of its properties that might be damaged or destroyed, and in the case of casualty and liability insurance, in such amounts as the Company believes is customary and adequate for businesses similar to the business of the Company, with the resources of the Company and at the stage of development of the Company.

3.21 Labor Agreements and Actions. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any collective bargaining agreements covering any of its employees, nor is the Company or any of its Subsidiaries bound by or subject to (and none of its assets or properties is bound by or subject to) any written or oral, express or implied, contract, commitment or arrangement with any labor union, and no labor union has requested or, to the knowledge of the Company, has sought to represent any of the employees, representatives or agents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. There is no strike or other labor dispute involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pending, or to the knowledge of the Company threatened, nor is the Company or any of its Subsidiaries aware of any labor organization activity involving its employees. The Company is not aware that any officer or key employee or that any group of key employees intends to terminate their employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor does the Company or any of its Subsidiaries have a present intention to terminate the employment of any of the foregoing.

3.22 Real Property Holding Corporation. The Company is not, and has not been at any time, a United States real property holding corporation as defined in Section 897 of the Code.

3.23 Investment Company. The Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Shares, will not be an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act.

3.24 Offering. Subject to the accuracy of the Investor’s representations set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement, the offer, sale and issuance of the Shares to be issued in conformity with the terms of this Agreement constitute transactions which are: (i) in full compliance with all applicable laws; and (ii) exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and from all applicable state registration or qualification requirements, other than those with which the Company has complied or will comply with prior to the Closing or those that are permitted to be complied with following the Closing.

3.26 Securities Laws.

3.27 Licenses and Other Rights; Compliance with Laws. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has all franchises, permits, licenses and other rights and privileges necessary to permit it to own its properties and to conduct its business as presently conducted and is in compliance thereunder, except where the failure to have any such franchise, permit, license, right or privilege or such non-compliance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.1 Authorization, Governmental Consents and Compliance with Other Instruments. All corporate action on the part of the Investor necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement Amendment and the performance of all obligations of the Investor hereunder and under the Investor Rights Agreement has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing. Each of this Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Investor,

enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application relating to or affecting enforcement of creditors rights or by equitable principles and except as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by state or federal securities laws or public policy underlying such laws. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local Governmental Authority on the part of the Investor is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement, except for filings required pursuant to securities laws. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement Amendment and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not result in any violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any provision of the Investor’s corporate charter or bylaws or any instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract to which the Investor is a party or by which it is bound.

4.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. By the Investor’s execution of this Agreement, the Investor hereby confirms that the Shares will be acquired for investment for the Investor’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation, or otherwise distributing the Shares.

4.3 Disclosure of Information. The Investor has received all the information from the Company and its management that the Investor considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Shares hereunder. The Investor further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares. Neither the foregoing nor any information disclosed to the Investor shall limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 3 of this Agreement.

4.4 Investment Experience and Accredited Investor Status. The Investor is an accredited investor (as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act) and is not acquiring the Shares for the account or benefit of any United States Person. The Investor is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, and bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares hereunder.

4.5 No Governmental Review. The Investor understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares or an investment therein.

4.6 Residency. The Investor is a resident of Switzerland.

4.7 Foreign Investors. If the Investor is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), the Investor hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe

for the Shares or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Shares, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any government or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Shares. The Company’s offer and sale and the Investor’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Shares will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Investor’s jurisdiction.

4.8 No Short Sales. Prior to the date hereof, Investor has not engaged in any short sales or similar transactions with respect to shares of Common Stock, nor has the Investor, directly or indirectly, caused any Person to engage in any short sales or similar transactions with respect to shares of Common Stock.

4.9 Restricted Securities. The Investor understands that the Shares, when issued, will be restricted securities under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations, such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. The Investor understands that the Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom, that such securities must be held by it indefinitely and that the Investor must, therefore, bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration. In this respect, the Investor represents that it is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

4.10 Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Shares will bear any legend required to be placed thereon under applicable state securities laws, any lock-up legend or legend referring to any restriction on transfer or sale (solely for so long as the Shares are subject to such lock-up or restriction, as applicable), and the following legend until such legend is removed in accordance with Section 8.1:

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION AS PROVIDED FOR IN SUCH ACT.

Investor acknowledges that the Company will instruct the Company’s transfer agent not to register the transfer of the Shares (or any portion thereof) during any period in which the Shares are subject to a lock-up or other restriction on transfer. The Securities Act legend shall not be removed from the Shares unless the conditions specified in Section 8.1 for the removal of such legend are satisfied.

In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of CIBC World Markets Corp. on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock. The foregoing shall not apply to: (i) the sale of the Securities to be sold pursuant to the prospectus relating to the Public Offering; (ii) sales under any 10b-5 plan; or (iii) transfers of Common Stock (A) as a bona fide gift or gifts, (B) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, (C) if the undersigned is a corporation, to any “affiliate” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of such corporation, (D) if the undersigned is a limited liability company, to a member or affiliated limited liability company, or (E) if the undersigned is a partnership, to a partner or affiliated partnership; provided, however, that in each such case under clause (iii) above, (1) it shall be a condition to the transfer that the donee or transferee execute an agreement stating that the donee or transferee is receiving and holding such capital stock subject to the provisions of this Lock-Up Agreement and there shall be no further transfer of such capital stock except in accordance with this Lock-Up Agreement, (2) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (3) no filing by any party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) under the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with such transfer (other than a filing on a Form 5, Schedule 13D (or amendment thereto) or Schedule 13G (or amendment thereto)), (4) each party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) shall not be required by law (including without limitation the disclosure requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Exchange Act) to make, and shall agree to not voluntarily make, any public announcement of the transfer or disposition, and (5) the undersigned notifies CIBC World Markets Corp. at least two business days prior to the proposed transfer or disposition.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company, and any duly appointed transfer agent for the registration or transfer of the securities described herein, are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Lock-Up Agreement.
