3. Right of First Refusal. The Company hereby grants to the undersigned the right of first refusal to purchase a pro rata share of New Securities (as defined in Section 3(a), below) that the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue. The undersigned’s pro rata share, for purposes of this right of first refusal, is a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock (or underlying the Series A Preferred and underlying the Warrants and assuming full conversion or exercise thereof) owned by the undersigned immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (or underlying the Series A Preferred and underlying the Warrants and assuming full conversion or exercise thereof) owned by each of the subscribers in this Offering (including those owned by the undersigned) immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities. The undersigned shall have a right of over-allotment such that if any other such subscriber fails to exercise its right to purchase its pro rata share of New Securities, the undersigned (and each other purchasing subscriber) may purchase the non-purchasing other subscriber’s portion on a pro rata basis within ten (10) days from the date such non-purchasing subscriber fails to exercise its right to purchase its pro rata share of New Securities. This right of first refusal shall be subject to the following provisions:
 
(a) “New Securities” shall mean any (x) capital stock of the Company, whether now authorized or not, (y) rights, options, or warrants to purchase such capital stock, and (z) securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into capital stock; provided, however, that the term “New Securities” does not include (i) securities issued in connection with this Offering; (ii) securities issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred issued in this Offering or the exercise of the Warrants granted in this Offering; (iii) securities issued (other than for cash) in connection with a merger, acquisition, or consolidation; (iv) securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities issued or outstanding on or prior to the date hereof; (v) any borrowings by the Company, direct or indirect, from financial institutions, whether or not presently authorized, including any type of loan or payment evidenced by any type of debt instrument, provided such borrowings shall be approved by not less than one of the directors elected by the holders of the Series A Preferred (if any shall then hold office); (vi) securities issued to employees, consultants, officers or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock option, stock purchase, or stock bonus plan, agreement, or arrangement approved by the Company’s Board of Directors; (vii) securities issued in connection with bona fide strategic license agreements or other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and so long as such issuance is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, including the affirmative vote of not less than one of the directors elected by the holders of the Series A Preferred (if any shall then hold office); (viii) securities issued to vendors or customers or to other persons in similar commercial situations with the Company if such issuance is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, including the affirmative vote of not less than one of the directors elected by the holders of the Series A Preferred (if any shall then hold office); (ix) securities issued in connection with obtaining lease financing, whether issued to a lessor, guarantor, or other person; (x) securities issued in a public offering pursuant to a registration under the Securities Act with an aggregate offering price to the public of at least $10,000,000; (xi) securities issued in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, or recapitalization of the Company; (xii) securities issued as payment of dividends; and (xiii) any right, option, or warrant to acquire any security exercisable or convertible into the securities excluded from the definition of New Securities pursuant to subsections (i) through (xiii) above. In addition to the foregoing, the right of first offer in this Section 3 shall not be applicable with respect to the undersigned or any other such subscriber, as applicable, in any subsequent offering if (i) at the time of such offering, the undersigned or any other such subscriber, as applicable, is not an “accredited investor,” as that term is then defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act and (ii) such other offering is otherwise being offered only to accredited investors.

(b) In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give the undersigned and each other such subscriber, as applicable, written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities, and their price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. The undersigned and each other such subscriber, as applicable, shall have twenty (20) days after giving of such notice to agree to purchase the undersigned’s or any other such subscriber’s, as applicable, pro rata share of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased.
 
(c) In the event the undersigned or any other such subscriber, as applicable, shall fail to exercise fully the right of first refusal within such twenty (20)-day period and after the expiration of the ten (10)-day period for the exercise of the over-allotment provisions of this Section 3, the Company shall have sixty (60) days thereafter to sell or enter into an agreement (pursuant to which the sale of New Securities covered thereby shall be closed, if at all, within sixty (60) days from the date of said agreement) to sell the New Securities with respect to which the undersigned’ and each other such subscriber’s, as applicable, right of first refusal option set forth in this Section 3 was not exercised, at a price and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s notice pursuant to Section 3(b), above. In the event the Company has not sold within such sixty (60)-day period or entered into an agreement to sell the New Securities in accordance with the foregoing within sixty (60) days from the date of such agreement, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities, without first again offering such securities to the undersigned and any other such subscriber, as applicable, in the manner provided in Section 3(b), above.
 
(d) The right of first refusal granted under this Agreement shall expire upon, and shall not be applicable to, the sale of Common Stock of the Company to the public effected pursuant to a registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, resulting in aggregate proceeds of more than $10,000,000 and in any event shall expire on January 22, 2010.
 
(e) The right of first refusal set forth in this Section 3 may not be assigned or transferred, except that (i) such right is assignable by the undersigned to any wholly owned subsidiary or parent of, or to any corporation or entity that is, within the meaning of the Securities Act, controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, any the undersigned and (ii) such right is assignable between and among the undersigned and each other such subscriber, as applicable.
 
4. Transferability. The undersigned agrees not to transfer or assign the obligations or duties contained in this Subscription Agreement or any of the undersigned’s interest herein except to a subsidiary or affiliate of the undersigned. The undersigned agrees not to sell, transfer, or assign any of its right, title, and interest in and to the Units except to a subsidiary or affiliate of the undersigned.
 
5. Accredited Investor; non-U.S. Person/Offshore Transaction. The undersigned is either an “accredited investor” or is not a “U.S. Person,” as those terms are defined in Rule 501(c) of Regulation D or in Rule 902(k), respectively, each promulgated under the Securities Act. If the undersigned is not a U.S. Person, the offer or sale of the Units was made in an “offshore transaction,” as that term is defined in Rule 902(h), as promulgated under the Securities Act.
