The Company does not have any actual knowledge nor has it received any written notice that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact that, as of the date hereof, would reasonably lead a creditor to do so. After giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby to occur at the Closing, the Company will not be Insolvent (as hereinafter defined). For purposes of this Agreement, “Insolvent” means (i) the present fair saleable value of the Company’s assets is less than the amount required to pay the Company’s total Indebtedness, contingent or otherwise, (ii) the Company is unable to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured, (iii) the Company intends to incur or believes that it will incur debts that would be beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature or (iv) the Company has unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted.

2.17 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. There is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between the Company and an unconsolidated or other off-balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Company in its Exchange Act filings and is not so disclosed or that if made or not made would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

2.18 Foreign Corrupt Practices. None of the Company, any Subsidiary, nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents, employees or other Persons acting on behalf of such subsidiaries has, in the course of their respective actions for or on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (a) used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment

or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity, (b) made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds, (c) violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended or (d) made any unlawful bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee.

2.19 Transactions With Affiliates. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents or as disclosed in Schedule 2.19 attached hereto, none of the officers, directors or employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for ordinary course services as employees, officers or directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any such officer, director or employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any such officer, director, or employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.

2.20 Insurance. Except as disclosed in Schedule 2.20 attached hereto, the Company and each Subsidiary are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and each Subsidiary are engaged. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

2.21 Employee Relations. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is a party to any collective bargaining agreement or employs any member of a union. No Executive Officer of the Company (as defined in Rule 501(f) of the Securities Act) has notified the Company that such officer intends to leave the Company or otherwise terminate such officer’s employment with the Company. No Executive Officer of the Company, to the knowledge of the Company, is, or is now, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and, to the actual knowledge of the Company, the continued employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any Subsidiary to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and each Subsidiary are in compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

2.22 Title. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents or Schedule 2.22, the Company and each Subsidiary have good and marketable title to all personal property owned by them which is material to their respective business, in each case free and clear of all Liens. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company or any Subsidiary are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not

interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company or any Subsidiary.

2.23 Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess the rights to use all patents, trademarks, domain names (whether or not registered) and any patentable improvements or copyrightable derivative works thereof, websites and intellectual property rights relating thereto, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and authorizations which are necessary for the conduct of its business as now conducted (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”) without any conflict with the rights of others, except any failures as, individually or in the aggregate, are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a written notice that the Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company or any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of any Person. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable measures to protect the value of the Intellectual Property Rights.

2.24 Environmental Laws. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries (a) are in compliance with any and all Environmental Laws (as hereinafter defined), (b) have received all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses and (c) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval where, in each of the foregoing clauses (a), (b) and (c), the failure to so comply could be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The term “Environmental Laws” means all federal, state, local or foreign laws relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder.

There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of no basis for any such claim.

2.26 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act; Internal Accounting and Disclosure Controls. The Company is in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002

that are effective as of the date hereof and applicable to it, and any and all rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder that are effective and applicable to it as of the date hereof. The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient, in the judgment of the Company’s board of directors, to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (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 the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate actions are taken with respect to any differences. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures as of the date prior to the filing date of the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 307(c) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) or, to the Company’s knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls. The Company maintains and will continue to maintain a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with United States GAAP and the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act.

2.27 Investment Company Status. The Company is not, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Securities will not be, an “investment company,” an “affiliated person” of, “promoter” for or “principal underwriter” for, or an entity “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

2.28 Material Contracts. Each contract of the Company that involves expenditures or receipts in excess of $500,000 (each, a “Material Contract”) is in full force and effect and is valid and enforceable in accordance with its terms. The Company is and has been in material compliance with all applicable terms and requirements of each Material Contract and no event has occurred or circumstance exists that (with or without notice or lapse of time) may contravene, conflict with or result in a violation or breach of, or give the Company or any other entity the right to declare a default or exercise any remedy under, or to accelerate the maturity or performance of, or to cancel, terminate or modify any Material Contract. The Company has not given or received from any other Person any notice or other communication (whether oral or written) regarding any actual, alleged, possible or potential violation or breach of, or default under, any Material Contract.

2.29 Inventory. All inventory of the Company consists of a quality and quantity usable and salable in the ordinary course of business, except for obsolete items and items of below-standard quality, all of which have been or will be written off or written down to net realizable

value on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2007. The quantities of each type of inventory (whether raw materials, work-in-process, or finished goods) are not excessive, but are reasonable and warranted in the present circumstances of the Company.

2.30 No Disagreements with Accountants. There are no disagreements of any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated by the Company to arise, between the Company and the accountants formerly or presently employed by the Company.

2.31 Ranking of Series D Preferred Stock. No capital stock of the Company is senior to the Series E Preferred Stock in right of payment, whether with respect of payment of redemptions, interest, damages or upon liquidation or dissolution or otherwise.

2.32 Manipulation of Price. The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result or that could reasonably be expected to cause or result, in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities.

2.33 Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is in compliance with all such maintenance requirements.

2.34 Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and its Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation (exclusive of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which is currently inapplicable to the Company) that is or could become applicable to the Purchaser as a result of the Purchaser and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Purchaser’s ownership of the Securities.

2.35 Disclosure. All written disclosure provided to the Purchaser regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Schedules to this Agreement, furnished by or on behalf of the Company are true and correct and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided however, the Company makes no representation as to studies and reports prepared by third parties not engaged by the Company and included in the materials delivered to Purchaser.

[INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and shall reimburse the Purchaser for, from and against each claim, loss, liability, cost and expense (including without limitation, interest, penalties, costs of preparation and investigation, and the actual fees, disbursements and expenses of attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors) (collectively, “Losses”) directly or indirectly relating to, resulting from or arising out of (a) any untrue representation, misrepresentation, breach of warranty or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or other obligation by or of the Company contained in any Transaction Document or in any certificate, document, or instrument delivered by the Company to the Purchaser; or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser or its affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an affiliate of the Purchaser, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of the Purchaser’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings the Purchaser may have with any such stockholder or any violations by the Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by the Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance).

9.2 Procedure.

(a) The indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of any claim, demand, action or proceeding for which indemnification will be sought under this Agreement; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give

notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.

(b) In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable, good-faith judgment of the indemnified party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying party exists with respect to such action, proceeding or claim (in which case the indemnifying party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified party), to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense (but not control) with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense (except that the indemnifying party shall remain responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified party in the event in the reasonable, good-faith judgment of the indemnified party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying party exists).

(c) In the event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified party’s costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be Losses subject to indemnification hereunder.

(d) The parties shall cooperate fully with each other in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim and shall furnish to the other party all information reasonably available to such party which relates to such action or claim. Each party shall keep the other party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Article IX to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification obligations to defend the indemnified party required by this Article IX shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when the Loss is incurred, so long as the indemnified party shall refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified

party against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any holder of any Securities upon any breach or default of the Company under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such holder nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence, therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring.

Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed amended to delete therefrom the portion thus adjudicated to be

invalid or unenforceable, such deletion to apply only with respect to the operation of such provision in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.

10.9 Expenses. The Company shall bear its own expenses and legal fees incurred on its behalf with respect to the negotiation, execution and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall pay all documentary stamp or similar taxes imposed by any authority upon the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Transaction Document.

10.12 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.

10.13 Default under this Agreement.
