     Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

     Section 3.1 Draw Down Notice. During the Commitment Period, the Company may, in its sole discretion, issue a Draw Down Notice (as hereinafter defined) which shall specify the dollar amount the Company intends to raise from the sale to the Investor of Common Stock hereunder (each such capital raising transaction, a “Draw Down”) up to a Draw Down Amount equal to the Maximum Draw Down Amount. The Investor shall be obligated to accept each Draw Down initiated by the Company, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter provided. The Company shall inform the Investor in writing by sending a duly completed notice in the form of Exhibit B hereto (each, a “Draw Down Notice”) by e-mail to the addresses set forth in Section 10.4, with a copy to the Investor’s counsel, as to such Draw Down Amount before commencement of trading on the first Trading Day of the related Draw Down Pricing Period. In addition to the Draw Down Amount, each Draw Down Notice shall designate the first Trading Day of the Draw Down Pricing Period. In no event shall any Draw Down Amount exceed the Maximum Draw Down Amount. Each Draw Down Notice shall be accompanied by a certificate, signed by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or General Counsel, dated as of the date of such Draw Down Notice, in the form of Exhibit C hereof.

     Section 3.2 Number of Shares. Subject to Section 3.6(b), the number of Shares to be issued in connection with each Draw Down shall be equal to the sum of the number of shares issuable on each Trading Day of the Draw Down Pricing Period. Subject to Section 3.6(b), the number of shares issuable on a Trading Day during a Draw Down Pricing Period shall be equal to the quotient of one eighth (1/8th) of the Draw Down Amount divided by the Draw Down Discount Price for such Trading Day.

     Section 3.3 Limitation on Draw Downs. Only one Draw Down shall be permitted for each Draw Down Pricing Period.

     Section 3.4 Trading Cushion. Unless the parties agree in writing otherwise, there shall be a minimum of three (3) Trading Days between the expiration of any Draw Down Pricing Period and the beginning of the next succeeding Draw Down Pricing Period.

     Section 3.5 Settlement. The number of Shares purchased by the Investor in any Draw Down shall be determined and settled on two separate dates. Shares purchased by the Investor during the first four Trading Days of any Draw Down Pricing Period shall be determined and settled no later than the sixth Trading Day of such Draw Down Pricing Period. Shares purchased by the Investor during the second four Trading Days of any Draw Down Pricing Period shall be determined and settled no later than the second Trading Day after the last Trading Day of such Draw Down Pricing Period. Each date on which settlement of the purchase and sale of Shares occurs hereunder being referred to as a “Settlement Date.” The Investor shall provide the Company with delivery instructions for the Shares to be issued at each Settlement Date at least two Trading Days in advance of such Settlement Date. The number of Shares actually issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares.

     Section 3.6 Delivery of Shares; Payment of Draw Down Amount.

          (a) On each Settlement Date, the Company shall deliver the Shares purchased by the Investor to the Investor or its designee(s) exclusively via book entry through the DTC to an account designated by the Investor, and upon receipt of the Shares, the Investor shall cause payment thereof to be made to the Company’s designated account by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if the Shares are received by the Investor no later than 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), or next day available funds, if the Shares are received thereafter. Upon the written request of the Company, the Investor will cause its banker to confirm to the Company that the Investor has provided irrevocable instructions to cause payment for the Shares to be made as set forth above, upon confirmation by such banker that the Shares have been delivered through the DTC in unrestricted form.

          (b) For each Trading Day during a Draw Down Pricing Period on which the VWAP is less than the greater of: (i) 85% of the Closing Price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the commencement of such Draw Down Pricing Period, (ii) $1.00 or (iii) the price specified by the Company in the applicable Draw Down Notice (the “Threshold Price”), such Trading Day shall not be used in calculating the number of Shares to be issued in connection with such Draw Down, and the Draw Down Amount in respect of such Draw Down Pricing Period shall be reduced by one eighth (1/8th) of the initial Draw Down Amount specified in the Draw Down Notice. If trading in the Company’s Common Stock is suspended for any reason for more than three (3) consecutive or non-consecutive hours during trading hours on the Principal Market on any Trading Day during a Draw Down Pricing Period, such Trading Day shall be disregarded in calculating the number of Shares to be issued in connection with such Draw Down, and the Draw Down Amount in respect of such Draw Down Pricing Period shall be reduced by one eighth (1/8th) of the initial Draw Down Amount specified in the Draw Down Notice. In addition, in the event that the Company

delivers a Blackout Notice to the Investor at any time on or after the date that a Draw Down Notice is delivered, each Trading Day during the applicable Draw Down Pricing Period after the delivery of such Blackout Notice shall be disregarded (subject to waiver by the Investor in respect of all, but not less than all, Trading Days that occur after the termination of the applicable Blackout Period) for the purposes of calculating the number of Shares to be issued in respect of the applicable Draw Down, and the Draw Down Amount in respect of such Draw Down Pricing Period shall be reduced by one eighth (1/8th) of the initial Draw Down Amount specified in the Draw Down Notice for each such Trading Day that is so disregarded. For the avoidance of doubt, any Trading Day that is disregarded for the purposes of calculating the number of Shares to be issued in connection with a Draw Down in accordance with the foregoing shall only reduce such number of Shares by one eighth (1/8th), notwithstanding that such Trading Day may be so disregarded for more than one of the reasons specified above.

     Section 3.7 Failure to Deliver Shares. If on any Settlement Date, the Company fails to cause the delivery of the Shares purchased by the Investor, and such failure is not cured within two (2) Trading Days following such Settlement Date, the Company shall pay to the Investor on demand in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Investor as liquidated damages for such failure and not as a penalty, an amount equal to one and a quarter percent (1.25%) of the payment required to be paid by the Investor on such Settlement Date (i.e., the Draw Down Amount) for the initial 30 days following such Settlement Date until the Shares have been delivered, and an additional 1.25% for each additional 30-day period thereafter until the Shares have been delivered, which amount shall be prorated for such periods less than 30 days; provided, however, that in the event that the Company is prevented from delivering Shares in respect of any such Settlement Date in a timely manner by any fact or circumstance that is not reasonably within the control of, or directly attributable to, the Company, or is otherwise reasonably within the control of, or directly attributable to, the Investor, then such two (2) Trading Day period shall be automatically extended until such time as such fact or circumstance is cured. For the purposes of this Section 3.7 facts or circumstances that are reasonably within the control of the Company include such facts and circumstances solely attributable to acts or omissions of the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, including, without limitation, any transfer agent(s) and/or accountant(s) engaged by the Company in connection with the Company’s performance of its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event that the Company pays the Make Whole Amount (plus interest, if applicable) in respect of any Settlement Date in accordance with this Section 3.7, such payment shall be the Investor’s sole remedy in respect of the Company’s failure to deliver Shares in respect of such Settlement Date, and the Company shall not be obligated to deliver such Shares.

CONDITIONS TO THE OBLIGATION OF THE INVESTOR
TO ACCEPT A DRAW DOWN

     The obligation of the Investor hereunder to accept a Draw Down Notice and to acquire and pay for the Shares in accordance therewith is subject to the satisfaction or waiver, at each Condition Satisfaction Date, of each of the conditions set forth below, provided that the condition set forth in Section 7.11 need only be satisfied at the first Condition Satisfaction Date. Other than those conditions set forth in Section 7.12 which are for the Company’s sole benefit and may be waived by the Company at any time in its sole discretion, the conditions are for the Investor’s sole benefit and may be waived by the Investor at any time in its sole discretion. As used in this Agreement, the term “Condition Satisfaction Date” shall mean, with respect to each Draw Down, the date on which the applicable Draw Down Notice is delivered to the Investor and each Settlement Date of the applicable Draw Down Pricing Period; provided, however, that the Condition Satisfaction Date applicable to Section 7.4 below shall be the date on which the applicable Draw Down Notice is delivered to the Investor and each Trading Day during the applicable Draw Down Pricing Period.

     Section 7.1 Accuracy of the Company’s Representations and Warranties. Each of the representations and warranties of the Company shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date when made as though made at that time except for representations and warranties that are expressly made as of a particular date.

     Section 7.2 Performance by the Company. The Company shall have, in all material respects, performed, satisfied and complied with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Company on or prior to the applicable Condition Satisfaction Date.

     Section 7.3 Compliance with Law. The Company shall have complied in all respects with all applicable federal, state and local governmental laws, rules, regulations and ordinances in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby except for any failures to so comply which would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 7.4 Effective Registration Statement. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Registration Statement shall have previously become effective and shall remain effective and (i) neither the Company nor the Investor shall have received notice that the Commission has issued or intends to issue a stop order with respect to the Registration Statement or that the Commission otherwise has suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, either temporarily or permanently, or intends or has threatened to do so (unless the Commission’s concerns have been addressed and the Investor is reasonably satisfied that the Commission no longer is considering or intends to take such action), and (ii) no other suspension of the use or withdrawal of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall exist.

     Section 7.5 No Knowledge. The Company shall have no Knowledge of any event that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of causing the Registration Statement with respect to the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Investor to be suspended or otherwise ineffective (which event is reasonably likely to occur within eight Trading Days following the Trading Day on which a Draw Down Notice is delivered) as of the Settlement Date.

     Section 7.6 No Suspension. Trading in the Company’s Common Stock shall not have been suspended by the Commission, the Principal Market or the FINRA and trading in securities generally as reported on the Principal Market shall not have been suspended or limited as of the Condition Satisfaction Date.

     Section 7.7 No Injunction. No statute, rule, regulation, order, decree, writ, ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered, promulgated, endorsed or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened by any court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction which prohibits the consummation of or which would materially modify or delay any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     Section 7.8 No Proceedings or Litigation. No action, suit or proceeding before any arbitrator or any court or governmental authority shall have been commenced or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened, and, to the Knowledge of the Company no inquiry or investigation by any governmental authority shall have been threatened, against the Company or any subsidiary, or any of the officers, directors or affiliates of the Company or any subsidiary, seeking to enjoin, prevent or change the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or seeking material damages in connection with such transactions.

     Section 7.9 Sufficient Shares Registered for Resale. The Company shall have sufficient Shares, calculated using the Closing Price of the Common Stock as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable Draw Down Notice, registered under the Registration Statement to issue and sell such Shares in accordance with such Draw Down Notice.

     Section 7.10 Payment of Fees and Expenses. The Company shall not be more than thirty (30) calendar days in arrears in respect of fees and expenses payable by the Company in accordance with Section 10.1 hereof and reflected on invoices submitted by the Investor (or its designee) in writing to the Company at least ten (10) Trading Days prior to the delivery of the applicable Draw Down Notice, subject to the agreement between the parties regarding the fees and expenses of counsel to the Investor set forth in such Section 10.1.

     Section 7.11 Opinion of Counsel. The Investor shall have received the form of opinion mutually agreed upon between the parties on the date of this Agreement, a specimen of which has been delivered by counsel to the Investor to counsel to the Company.

     Section 7.12 Accuracy of Investor’s Representation and Warranties. Each of the representations and warranties of the Investor shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date when made as though made at that time except for representations and warranties that are made as of a particular date.

ARTICLE VIII
TERMINATION

     Section 8.1 Term. Unless otherwise terminated in accordance with Section 8.2 below, this Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of the Commitment Period.

     Section 8.2 Other Termination.

          (a) The Investor may terminate this Agreement upon (x) one (1) Trading Day’s notice if the Company enters into any Prohibited Transaction as set forth in Section 6.7 without the Investor’s prior written consent, or (y) one (1) Trading Day’s notice if the Investor provides written notice of a Material Adverse Effect to the Company, and such Material Adverse Effect continues for a period of ten (10) Trading Days after the receipt by the Company of such notice.

          (b) The Investor may terminate this Agreement upon one (1) Trading Day’s notice to the Company at any time in the event that the Registration Statement is not initially declared effective in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, provided, however, that in the event the Registration Statement is declared effective prior to the delivery of such notice, the Investor shall thereafter have no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2(b).

          (c) The Company may terminate this Agreement upon one (1) Trading Day’s notice; provided, however, that the Company shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2(c) during any Draw Down Pricing Period; provided further, that, in the event of any termination of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to this Section 8.2(c), so long as the Investor owns Shares purchased hereunder, unless all of such shares of Common Stock may be resold by the Investor without registration and without any time, volume or manner limitations pursuant to Rule 144(b) (or any similar provision then in effect) under the Securities Act, the Company shall not suspend or withdraw the Registration Statement or otherwise cause the

Registration Statement to become ineffective, or voluntarily delist the Common Stock from, the Principal Market without listing the Common Stock on another Principal Market.

          (d) Each of the parties hereto may terminate this Agreement upon one (1) Trading Day’s notice if the other party has breached a material representation, warranty or covenant to this Agreement and such breach is not remedied within ten (10) Trading Days after notice of such breach is delivered to the breaching party.

     Section 8.3 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination by the Company or the Investor, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other party and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be terminated without further action by either party. If this Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 8.1 or 8.2 herein, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force and effect, except as provided in Section 10.12. Nothing in this Section 8.3 shall be deemed to release the Company or the Investor from any liability for any breach under this Agreement occurring prior to such termination, or to impair the rights of the Company and the Investor to compel specific performance by the other party of its obligations under this Agreement arising prior to such termination.

ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION

     Section 9.1 Indemnification.

          (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Article IX, unless disputed as set forth in Section 9.2, the Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Investor and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries, partners, members and controlling persons (each, an “Investor Indemnified Party”), to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against any and all Damages directly resulting from or directly arising out of any breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement (except as otherwise specifically provided) by the Company in this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable under this Article IX to an Investor Indemnified Party to the extent that such Damages resulted or arose from the breach by an Investor Indemnified Party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of an Investor Indemnified Party contained in this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, or the negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct or bad faith of an Investor Indemnified Party. The parties intend that any Damages subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX will be net of insurance proceeds (which the Investor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to recover or to cause any Investor Indemnified Party to recover). Accordingly, the amount which the Company is required to pay to any Investor Indemnified Party hereunder (a “Company Indemnity Payment”) will be reduced by any insurance proceeds actually recovered by or on behalf of any Investor Indemnified Party in reduction of the related Damages. In addition, if an Investor Indemnified Party receives a Company Indemnity Payment required by this Article IX in respect of any Damages and subsequently receives any such insurance proceeds, then the Investor will pay, or will cause such other Investor Indemnified Party to pay, to the Company an amount equal to the Company Indemnity Payment received less the amount of the Company

Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the insurance proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Company Indemnity Payment was made.

          (b) Except as otherwise provided in this Article IX, unless disputed as set forth in Section 9.2, the Investor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries, partners, members and controlling persons (each, a “Company Indemnified Party”), to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against any and all Damages directly resulting from or directly arising out of any breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement by the Investor in this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement; provided, however, that the Investor shall not be liable under this Article IX to a Company Indemnified Party to the extent that such Damages resulted or arose from the breach by a Company Indemnified Party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of a Company Indemnified Party contained in this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement or the negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct or bad faith of a Company Indemnified Party. The parties intend that any Damages subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX will be net of insurance proceeds (which the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to recover or to cause any Company Indemnified Party to recover). Accordingly, the amount which the Investor is required to pay to any Company Indemnified Party hereunder (an “Investor Indemnity Payment”) will be reduced by any insurance proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of any Company Indemnified Party in reduction of the related Damages. In addition, if a Company Indemnified Party receives an Investor Indemnity Payment required by this Article IX in respect of any Damages and subsequently receives any such insurance proceeds, then the Company Indemnified Party will pay, or will cause such other Company Indemnified Party to pay, to the Investor an amount equal to the Investor Indemnity Payment received less the amount of the Investor Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the insurance proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Investor Indemnity Payment was made.

     Section 9.2 Notification of Claims for Indemnification. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Article IX (an “Indemnified Party”) shall, promptly after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any claim against such Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from the party obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party under this Article IX (the “Indemnifying Party”), notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof. Any such notice shall describe the claim in reasonable detail. The failure of any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party of any such action shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party (a) other than pursuant to this Article IX or (b) under this Article IX unless, and only to the extent that, such failure results in the Indemnifying Party’s forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses or the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay. The procedures listed below shall govern the procedures for the handling of indemnification claims.

          (a) Any claim for indemnification for Damages that do not result from a Third Party Claim as defined in the following paragraph, shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30) day period, such Indemnifying Party

shall be deemed to have refused to accept responsibility to make payment as set forth in Section 9.1. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30) day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as specified in this Agreement.

          (b) If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a person or entity not a party to this Agreement of any threatened legal action or claim (collectively a “Third Party Claim”), with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification, the Indemnified Party shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof within twenty (20) days after becoming aware of such Third Party Claim.

          (c) An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and, unless the Indemnifying Party has specified any reservations or exceptions, to seek to settle or compromise) at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any Third Party Claim. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from an Indemnified Party (or sooner if the nature of such Third Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party whether the Indemnifying Party will assume responsibility for defending such Third Party Claim, which election shall specify any reservations or exceptions. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30) day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as specified in this Agreement. In case any such Third Party Claim shall be brought against any Indemnified Party, and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment; provided, however, that any Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Third Party Claim in which both the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and an Indemnified Party, on the other hand, are, or are reasonably likely to become, a party, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to control its own defense of such claim if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Party, either (x) one or more significant defenses are available to the Indemnified Party that are not available to the Indemnifying Party or (y) a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, that would make such separate representation advisable; provided, however, that in such circumstances the Indemnifying Party (i) shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel to all Indemnified Parties and (ii) shall reimburse the Indemnified Parties for such reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel incurred in any such Third Party Claim, as such expenses are incurred, provided that the Indemnified Parties agree to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party was not obligated to provide indemnification under this Article IX. The Indemnifying Party agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim relating to the matters contemplated hereby (if any Indemnified Party is a party thereto or has been actually threatened to be made a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of a claim effected against an

Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying Party’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The rights accorded to an Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Party may have at common law, by separate agreement or otherwise; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing in this Article IX shall restrict or limit any rights that any Indemnified Party may have to seek equitable relief.

ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 10.1 Fees and Expenses.

          (a) Each of the Company and the Investor agrees to pay its own expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, except that the Company shall be solely responsible for (i) all reasonable attorneys fees and expenses incurred by the Investor in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, and review of the Registration Statement, and in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of this Agreement, (ii) subject in all cases to Section 10.1(b) hereof, all reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Investor’s enforcement of this Agreement, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, (iii) ongoing due diligence expenses of the Investor during the term of this Agreement equal to $15,000 per calendar quarter, and (iv) all stamp or other similar taxes and duties, if any, levied in connection with issuance of the Shares pursuant hereto; provided, however, that in each of the above instances at the reasonable request of the Company the Investor shall provide customary supporting invoices or similar documentation describing such expenses (however, the Investor shall not be obligated to provide detailed time sheets for fees and expenses of counsel unless the aggregate amount of such fees and expenses exceeds $60,000); and provided further, that the maximum aggregate amount payable by the Company pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be $75,000 and the Investor shall bear all fees and expenses described in clauses (i) and (ii) above in excess of $75,000. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the initial fees and expenses of counsel to the Investor incurred prior to the Effective Date may be paid by the Company from the proceeds of the initial Draw Down, i.e., such fees and expenses may be deducted from the Draw Down Amount due to the Company, provided that the Draw Down Notice for such Draw Down is delivered not later than sixty (60) calendar days following the Effective Date.

          (b) If any action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable fees, costs and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.

     Section 10.2 Reporting Entity for the Common Stock. The reporting entity relied upon for the determination of the trading price or trading volume of the Common Stock on any given Trading Day for the purposes of this Agreement shall be Bloomberg, L.P. or any successor thereto, provided that the Closing Price shall be reported by the Principal Market. The written

mutual consent of the Investor and the Company shall be required to employ any other reporting entity.

     Section 10.3 Brokerage. Each of the parties hereto represents that it has had no dealings in connection with this transaction with any finder or broker who will demand payment of any fee or commission from the other party. The Company on the one hand, and the Investor, on the other hand, agree to indemnify the other against and hold the other harmless from any and all liabilities to any Persons claiming brokerage commissions or finder’s fees on account of services purported to have been rendered on behalf of the indemnifying party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

     Section 10.4 Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified herein, shall be (i) personally served, (ii) deposited in the mail, registered or certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) delivered by reputable air courier service with charges prepaid, or (iv) transmitted by hand delivery, telegram, or facsimile, addressed as set forth below or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by written notice given in accordance herewith, in each case with a copy to the e-mail address set forth beside the facsimile number for the addressee below.

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by both parties hereto. The failure of either party to insist on strict compliance with this Agreement, or to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement, shall not constitute a waiver of any rights provided under this Agreement, nor estop the parties from thereafter demanding full and complete compliance nor prevent the parties from exercising such a right or remedy in the future.

     Section 10.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, negotiations and understandings between the parties, both oral and written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

     Section 10.8 Title and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for the convenience of reference and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

     Section 10.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which may be executed by less than all of the parties and shall be deemed to be an original instrument which shall be enforceable against the parties actually executing such counterparts and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

     Section 10.10 Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be construed under the laws of the State of New York.

     Section 10.11 Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction.

          (a) The Company and the Investor 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 either party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement by the other party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which either party may be entitled by law or equity.

          (b) Each of the Company and the Investor (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court and other courts of the United States sitting in the State of 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 Investor 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 10.11 shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

In the event the Company is required by law, regulation, NASDAQ rule or judicial process, based upon reasonable advice of the Company’s counsel, to issue a press release or otherwise make a public statement or announcement with respect to this Agreement prior to the Closing, the Company shall consult with the Investor on the form and substance of such press release, statement or announcement. Promptly after the Closing, each party may issue a press release or otherwise make a public statement or announcement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the existence of this Agreement; provided that, prior to issuing any such press release, making any such public statement or announcement, the party wishing to make such release, statement or announcement consults and cooperates in good faith with the other party in order to formulate such press release, public statement or announcement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to both parties.

     Section 10.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision; provided that, if the severance of such provision materially changes the economic benefits of this Agreement to either party as such benefits are anticipated as of the date hereof, then such party may terminate this Agreement on five (5) business days prior written notice to the other party. In such event, the Registration Rights Agreement will terminate simultaneously with the termination of this Agreement.
