“Company Capital Stock” shall mean the Company Series A Preferred Stock and the Company Common Stock.

“Knowledge” shall mean with respect to a Party the actual knowledge of the Party’s officers and other managerial employees, after due and diligent inquiry of those other employees, consultants and contract workers of such Party whom such individuals have reason to believe would have actual knowledge of the matters represented.

“Material Adverse Effect” when used in connection with an entity means any change, event, violation, inaccuracy, circumstance or effect that is or would reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the business, assets (including intangible assets), capitalization, prospects, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of such entity and its subsidiaries taken as a whole; provided, however, that in no event shall (i) any change in the market price, trading volume or Nasdaq listing status of the Parent Common Stock, nor (ii) the failure by Parent to meet revenue or earnings forecasts of equity analysts reflected in the First Call consensus estimate, or any other revenue or earnings forecasts, for any period ending on or after the date of this Agreement, in and of itself constitute a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Parent; and provided further, however, that that none of the following shall be deemed to constitute a Material Adverse Effect with regard to any Party: any adverse change, event, development, or effect arising from or relating to (A) general business or economic conditions; (B) financial, banking or securities markets (including any disruption thereof and any decline in the price of any security or any market index), to the extent the same do not disproportionately affect such Party; (C) changes in GAAP; (D) the impact of this Agreement, the identity or business plans of the Parent or its Affiliates, or the announcement or consummation of the Merger on the Company’s relationships with customers, suppliers, distributors or partners; or (E) the taking of any action contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

“Straddle Period” shall mean any taxable period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date. The real, personal and intangible property Taxes (“Property Taxes”) imposed upon the Company allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period; and the Taxes (other than Property Taxes) imposed upon the Company allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed as if such Taxable Period ended on the Closing Date, provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions), other than with respect to property placed in service after the Closing, shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each period.

SECTION 3

3. Effect of Merger; Exchange of Certificates.

3.1 Merger Consideration; Conversion of Company Capital Stock.

(a) Payment of Merger Consideration; Company Capital Stock. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the aggregate Merger Consideration to be paid by Parent (the “Merger Consideration”) shall consist of $6,550,000.00, $1,300,000.00 of which has been paid prior to the Effective Time to the Company in the form of convertible promissory notes. The balance of $5,250,000.00, reduced by the closing expenses to be paid by Parent as detailed on the Merger Consideration Schedule (the “Closing Costs”), shall be paid in accordance with this Section upon the Closing. As of the Effective Time of the Merger, each share of Company Series A Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger (other than shares, if any, held by persons exercising appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (“Dissenting Shares”) as provided in Section 3.5 below), shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Company stockholders, be converted into the right to receive the Preferred Stock Per Share Merger Consideration. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger will be cancelled without receiving any Merger Consideration.

(b) Merger Consideration Schedule. Attached hereto as Schedule 3.1(b) is a schedule (the “Merger Consideration Schedule”) reflecting the amount of cash payable under Section 3.1 hereof to each holder of the Company Capital Stock (as of the date hereof in the Company’s transfer books) determined in accordance with the terms hereof, including the mailing address for each holder and specifying the amount to be paid to such holder upon the Closing. No later than two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date, Company shall deliver to Parent a revised Schedule 3.1(b); provided that (i) all changes to such schedule must be reasonably acceptable to Parent and (ii) in no event will any such changes increase the aggregate amount of Merger Consideration.

3.2 Cancellation of Company-Owned Stock . Each share of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock held by Company or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereto.

3.3 Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of the common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

3.4 Treatment of Company Options and Warrants.

(a) Each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (a “Company Option”) that is not exercised prior to the Effective Time shall be terminated in accordance with the terms of the Company’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Company Option Plan”). Within a reasonable period of time following the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall notify each holder of a Company Option that the shares of Company Common Stock were exchanged for no Merger Consideration and that therefore the Company Option should be considered terminated.

(b) At the Effective Time, all warrants to purchase shares of the Company Capital Stock shall either have been terminated or exercised in accordance with the terms of such warrants.

3.5 Appraisal Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any shares of Company Capital Stock held by a holder who has demanded and perfected appraisal rights for such shares in accordance with Delaware Law and who, as of the Effective Time, has not effectively withdrawn or lost such appraisal or dissenters’ rights (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive cash in accordance with Section 3.1, and the holder or holders of such shares shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to such holder or holders pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL.

(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal or purchase of any shares of Company Capital Stock, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to Delaware Law and received by Company, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under Delaware Law. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or purchase of the Company Capital Stock or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

3.6 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall appoint itself as the exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) in the Merger.

(b) Parent to Provide Cash. Promptly after the Effective Time of the Merger, Parent shall make available for exchange in accordance with this Section 3.6, through such reasonable procedures as Parent may adopt, the amount of cash issuable pursuant to Section 3.1.

(c) Exchange Procedures. The Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger represented outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock (the “Certificates”) whose shares are being converted into the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and which shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration, in each case within five (5) business days after the Effective Time of the Merger or, in the case of each such holder who reasonably requests delivery thereof forthwith, as soon as such Letter of Transmittal and instructions become available before the Closing Date. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent or, in lieu of such Certificate, an Affidavit (as defined below), together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate or Affidavit, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount of cash to which the holder of Company Capital Stock is entitled pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof. The Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No interest will accrue or be paid to the holder of any outstanding Company Capital Stock. From and after the Effective Time of the Merger, until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.6(c), each Certificate shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence the amount of cash into which the shares of Company Capital Stock represented by such Certificate have been converted. The Exchange Agent, or such agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, shall be authorized to pay the cash attributable to any previously issued Certificate that has been lost or destroyed upon receipt of satisfactory evidence of ownership of Company Capital Stock represented thereby and of a reasonable affidavit of loss (an “Affidavit”).

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in Capital Stock of Company. The Merger Consideration delivered upon the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been delivered in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Capital Stock. There shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of Company Capital Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger. If, after the Effective Time of the Merger, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in Section 3.6(c); provided that the presenting holder is listed on Company’s stockholder list as a holder of Company Capital Stock.

(e) Required Withholding. Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code (as defined below) or state, local or foreign law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.6, neither the Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company Capital Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(g) No Further Transfers. At the Effective Time, holders of certificates representing shares of Company Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company, and the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of such Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of Company Capital Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid certificate previously representing any of such shares of Company Capital Stock is presented to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, such stock certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in Section 3.6 hereof.

3.7 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. Parent, Merger Sub and Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to effect the Merger as promptly as possible. If, at any time after the Effective Time of the Merger, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Company, the officers and directors of such corporation are fully authorized in the name of the corporation or otherwise to take, and shall take, all such action.

3.8 Adjustments for Stock Splits. The share and per share information herein shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Company Capital Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Company Capital Stock occurring or having a record date on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

9.2 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification. Parent, Merger Sub and each of their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to seek indemnification from each holder of Company Series A Preferred Stock, severally but not jointly, for any and all actions, suits, proceedings, hearings, investigations, charges, complaints, claims, demands, injunctions, judgments, orders, decrees, rulings, damages, dues, penalties, fines, costs, amounts paid in settlement, liabilities, obligations, Taxes, liens, losses, diminutions in value, expenses, and fees, including court costs and attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with any action, suit or proceeding (collectively “Losses”) that Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates has incurred, suffered or accrued by reason of (i) any inaccuracy or breach by Company of any representations or warranties contained herein (including the Company Schedule), (ii) any breach or failure to perform by Company of any covenant or agreement of Company contained herein and (iii) any and all liability for Taxes concerning or attributable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective operations for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, except as reflected as an accrued Tax liability (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing difference between book and Tax income) on the face or in the footnotes of the Most Recent Financial Statement (“Pre-Closing Taxes”; and the Losses set forth in clauses (i)-(iii) being collectively referred to as “Parent Losses”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or any other Company Ancillary Agreement, after the Closing, any Parent Losses shall be recovered from the holders of Company Series A Preferred Stock.

(b) Limitations.

(i) Except with respect to Losses as a result of breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.15 and 4.17 hereof and with respect to any indemnity for any Pre-Closing Taxes, Parent, Merger Sub and its Affiliates may not receive any amounts as set forth herein unless and until the aggregate amount of Parent Losses exceeds $100,000.

(ii) No holder of Company Series A Preferred Stock shall be required to indemnify Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates for any Parent Losses in an amount greater than the aggregate Preferred Stock Per Share Merger Consideration actually received by such holder.

(iii) Following the Closing, the sole remedy of Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates for any and all claims (including Parent Losses) with respect to this Agreement and the Company Ancillary Agreements, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be as set forth in this Section 9.2, and no such person shall have any other entitlement, remedy or recourse, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, against the other parties with respect thereto, all of such remedies, entitlements and recourse being expressly waived by such parties to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (b), nothing herein shall limit any remedy for fraud or criminal conduct (in which case, only the party committing such fraud or criminal conduct shall share any responsibility for such claim).

SECTION 10

10. Termination.

10.1 Termination of the Agreement. Certain of the Parties may terminate this Agreement as provided below:

(a) Parent and Company may terminate this Agreement as to all Parties by mutual written consent at any time prior to the Closing;

(b) Parent and Merger Sub may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Company at any time prior to the Closing (i) in the event the Company has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement, or if the representation or warranty of the Company shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in 8.1(a) or 8.1(b) would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation and warranty shall have become untrue, provided that, if such inaccuracy in the Company’s representations and warranties or breach by the Company is curable by the Company through the exercise of its commercially reasonable efforts within ten (10) business days (the “Cure Period”), then Parent may not terminate this Agreement under Section 10.1(b) prior to the expiration of the Cure Period (it being understood that Company shall promptly notify Parent of any breach or inaccuracy and that Company shall continue to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach), or (ii) if the Closing shall have failed to occur on or before May 7, 2008 (unless the failure results primarily from Parent or Merger Sub breaching any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement);

(c) Parent and Merger Sub may terminate this Agreement immediately if (i) the Board of Directors of Company shall have withdrawn or modified its recommendation of this Agreement or the Merger or shall have resolved to do any of the foregoing, or (ii) Company or any of its Affiliates have breached or otherwise failed to comply with any provision of Section 6.6.

(d) Parent and Merger Sub may terminate this Agreement if there shall be any action taken, or any statute, rule, regulation or order enacted, promulgated or issued or deemed applicable to the Merger, by any Governmental Entity, which would: (i) prohibit Parent’s or Company’s ownership or operation of all or any portion of the business of the Company or (ii) compel Parent or the Company to dispose of or hold separate all or a portion of the business or assets of the Company or Parent as a result of the Merger.

(e) Company may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Parent at any time prior to the Closing (i) in the event Parent has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Parent shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Section 8.2(a) or 8.2(b) would not be satisfied as of the time of such beach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue, provided that, if such inaccuracy in the representations or warranties of Parent or breach by Parent, as applicable, is curable by Parent, as applicable, within the Cure Period through the exercise of its commercially reasonable efforts, then the Company may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1 prior to the expiration of Cure Period (it being understood

that Parent shall promptly notify Company of any breach or inaccuracy and that Parent shall continue to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach and Company has notified Parent of the breach), or (ii) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before May 7, 2008, by reason of the failure of any condition precedent under Section 8.2 hereof (unless the failure results primarily from Company breaching any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement).

10.2 Effect of Termination. If any Party terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1 above, all rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall terminate without any liability of any Party to any other Party; provided, however, that each Party hereto shall remain liable for any willful breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other provision of this Agreement that occurs prior to the Agreement’s termination; and provided further, however, that the provisions of Sections 6.4(a), 6.4(c), 10.3 and 11 shall survive termination.

10.3 Transaction Expenses. Whether or not the Merger is consummated, each party will bear its own costs and expenses (including legal and accounting fees and expenses and any investment banking or advisory fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that upon Closing Parent shall assume up to $250,000 in legal fees of the Company and shall pay such legal fees after the Closing.

SECTION 11

11. Miscellaneous.

11.1 Press Releases and Public Announcements. No Party shall issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement prior to the Closing without the prior written approval of Parent and Company; provided, however, that Parent may make any public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by applicable law or any listing or trading agreement concerning its publicly-traded securities (in which case Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts to advise the Company prior to making the disclosure).

11.2 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

11.3 Entire Agreement.
