(f) Mr. Hakim is a citizen of the United States.

ITEM 3.

SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATIONS.

On December 31, 2003, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among Gateway, the Issuer and Local Fiber, LLC, a New York limited liability company that is wholly owned by the Issuer (“Local Fiber”), Local Fiber agreed to acquire substantially all of the assets of Gateway relating to Gateway’s business of providing colocation services at Gateway’s carrier facility located at 165 Halsey Street, 5^th Floor, Newark, New Jersey 07102 (the “Business”). The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement was effective on February 1, 2004. At such closing, in partial consideration for the transfer of such assets to Local Fiber, an aggregate of 2,908,000 shares of Common Stock were issued to Gateway. On May 25, 2005, the Issuer completed a 1-for-10 reverse stock split that had previously been approved by the Issuer’s stockholders. As a result of the reverse stock split, Gateway was the record holder of 290,800 shares of Common Stock.

- 4 -

On March 22, 2006, the Issuer entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), with certain investors identified in the agreement, including Mr. Hakim, pursuant to which the Company issued to the investors, in a private offering, an aggregate of 1,050,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $2.10 per share, for gross proceeds to the Issuer of $2.2 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Issuer also issued to such investors warrants (with an expiration date three and one-half years after closing) to purchase an aggregate of 310,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.64 per share. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Mr. Hakim purchased 250,000 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 75,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.64 per share (the “Warrants”) for an aggregate purchase price of $525,000.

ITEM 4.

PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

Each of the Filing Persons has acquired the Issuer’s securities for investment purposes. Depending upon Mr. Hakim’s conclusions regarding the prospects of the Issuer, the Filing Persons may increase their investment in the Issuer through the acquisition of additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer in the open market or otherwise, subject to availability at prices deemed favorable by Mr. Hakim, or may sell or otherwise dispose of any or all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them. Although the foregoing represents the range of activities presently contemplated by the Filing Persons with respect to the Issuer, the Common Stock and such other securities, it should be noted that the possible activities of such persons are subject to change at any time. Except as set forth above, neither of the Filing Persons has any present plans or intentions that would result in or relate to any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

ITEM 5.

INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

(a) Gateway beneficially owns 290,800 shares of Common Stock, which constitutes 4.15% of the Common Stock outstanding (based upon 7,008,849 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 30, 2006 as reported in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006 filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission). Because Mr. Hakim is the holder of a majority of the membership interests of gateway, Mr. Hakim may also be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Gateway. In addition to the 290,800 shares of Common Stock owned by Gateway, Mr. Hakim beneficially owns 250,000 shares of Common Stock, which constitutes 3.57% of the Common Stock outstanding, and Warrants to acquire 75,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.64 per share. Accordingly, Mr. Hakim may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 615,800 shares of the Common Stock, which represents 8.69% of the Common Stock outstanding (as calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Except as set forth in this Item 5(a), neither of the Filing Persons beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock.

(b) Gateway and Mr. Hakim have shared voting power and power to dispose of the 290,800 shares of Common Stock held by Gateway and Mr. Hakim has sole voting power and power to dispose of the 325,000 shares of Common Stock held by Mr. Hakim (which includes 75,000 shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by Mr. Hakim upon exercise of the Warrants). Except as set forth in this Item 5(b), neither Gateway nor any of the other persons identified in paragraph (a) of Item 2 has voting power or power to dispose of any shares of Common Stock.

(d) None.

(e) N/A.

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

On December 31, 2003, Gateway entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Issuer and Local Fiber pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to issue to Gateway an aggregate of 2,908,000 shares of Common Stock (before the 1-for-10 reverse stock split effected on May 25, 2005) in partial consideration for the purchase by Local Fiber of substantially all of the assets of Gateway used in its business. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, including the issuance of 2,908,000 shares of Common Stock in the name of Gateway, occurred effective February 1, 2004. At the closing, 1,000,000 of such shares of Common Stock were deposited into an escrow account pursuant to an Escrow Agreement among the parties in order to secure the obligations of Gateway under the Purchase Agreement. All of such shares of Common Stock were released from the escrow account in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The Purchase Agreement further provides, among other things, that, subject to certain conditions as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, if Gross Revenues (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in a Revenue Month (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) during the two year period following the closing of the transactions under the Purchase Agreement exceed $173,000 (the “Target Monthly Gross Revenue”), then additional shares of Common Stock will be issued to Gateway with a value, as established pursuant to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement, equal to 2.2 times the amount by which such annualized Gross Revenues exceed the annualized Target Monthly Gross Revenue. In addition, the Issuer and Gateway entered into a Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which the Issuer agreed, under certain circumstances, to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission the shares of Common Stock that have been or may be issued under the Purchase Agreement. Copies of the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement were attached to the Original Schedule 13D as Exhibits 1 and 2 thereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Issuer and Gateway entered into a letter agreement that provides, among other things, for the appointment of a designee of Gateway as a member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer. On January 30, 2004, Mr. Brecher was appointed to the Issuer’s Board of Directors pursuant to the terms of the letter agreement. The letter agreement further provides that another designee of Gateway shall have the right to act as a non-voting observer at meetings of the Issuer’s Board of Directors, subject to certain limitations as set forth in the letter agreement. The rights granted to Gateway under the letter agreement may be terminated at any time by the Issuer upon ten days written notice to Gateway. In the event of such termination, the designee of Gateway serving on the Issuer’s Board of Directors is obligated to submit a written resignation to the Issuer. A copy of the letter agreement was attached to the Original Schedule 13D as Exhibit 3 thereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

On March 22, 2006, the Issuer entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement, with certain investors identified in the agreement, including Mr. Hakim, pursuant to which the Issuer issued to the investors, in a private offering, an aggregate of 1,050,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $2.10 per share, for gross proceeds to the Issuer of $2.2 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Issuer also issued to such investors warrants (with an expiration date three and one-half years after closing) to purchase an aggregate of 310,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.64 per share. In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Issuer entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the investors, dated as of March 22, 2006, which requires the Issuer to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the resale of (i) the shares of Common Stock issued to the investors, (ii) the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants issued to the investors and (iii) the shares of Common Stock underlying warrants issued to the placement agent in connection with the stock sale. Copies of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and Form of Warrant are attached as Exhibits 2, 3 and 4 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

- 6 -

In addition to the above transactions, on March 22, 2006, the Issuer and Gateway entered into an amendment to the Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Issuer completed the acquisition, in January 2004, of the operating assets of Gateway, also known as Gateway Colocation. As discussed above, the Purchase Agreement included an “earn-out” payment based upon the achievement of certain financial objectives with respect to the revenues generated by the facility. More specifically, the “earn-out” payment was to be based on the gross revenues, on an annualized basis, for a particular month designated by Gateway Colocation during the twenty-four month period immediately subsequent to closing. By its terms, the “earn-out” provision expired on January 30, 2006. The terms of the Gateway amendment extend the duration of the “earn-out” provision for an additional twenty-four months, which extension was made retroactive to January 30, 2006. To date there have been no payments under the “earn-out” provision of the Purchase Agreement.

Except as set forth or incorporated by reference in this Item 6, neither Gateway nor any of the other persons identified in paragraph (a) of Item 2 has any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise), with any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT this (“Agreement”), dated as of March 22, 2006 by and between FiberNet Telecom Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the purchasers listed on Exhibit A hereto (each a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”), for the purchase and sale of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) by the Purchasers.

The parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Purchase and Sale of Common Stock and Warrants

Section 1.1 Purchase and Sale of Common Stock and Warrants.

(a) Upon the following terms and conditions, the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers shall purchase from the Company, an aggregate of 1,050,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) at a price per share of $2.10 (the “Per Share Purchase Price”) for an aggregate purchase price of $2,205,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Company and the Purchasers are executing and delivering this Agreement in accordance with and in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act”), including Regulation D (“Regulation D”), and/or upon such other exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act as may be available with respect to any or all of the investments to be made hereunder.

(b) Upon the following terms and conditions, the Purchasers shall be issued Warrants, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Warrants”), to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A hereto. The Warrants shall have an exercise price equal to $2.64 per share and shall be exercisable on the date that is six months and one day following the Closing Date. Any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (and such shares when issued) are herein referred to as the “Warrant Shares”. The Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Securities”.

Section 1.2 Purchase Price and Closing.

The Company agrees to issue and sell to the Purchasers and, in consideration of and in express reliance upon the representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchasers, severally but not jointly, agree to purchase the number of Shares and Warrants, in each case, set forth opposite their respective names on Exhibit A. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Shares and Warrants to be acquired by the Purchasers from the Company under this Agreement shall take place at the offices of the Company (the “Closing”) at 10:00 a.m., New York time (i) on or before March 24, 2006 or (ii) at such other time and place or on such date as the Purchasers and the Company may agree upon (the “Closing Date”), provided, that in each such case, all of the conditions set forth in Article IV hereof and applicable to the

Closing shall have been fulfilled or waived in accordance herewith. At the Closing, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to each Purchaser (i) a certificate registered in the name of the Purchaser representing the number of Shares that such Purchaser is purchasing pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) a Warrant to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as is set forth opposite the name of such Purchaser on Exhibit A and (iii) any other deliveries as required by Article IV. At the Closing, each Purchaser shall deliver its Purchase Price by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company.

Section 1.3 Anti-Dilution Protection.

(a) Except for the issuance of Additional Shares (as defined in Section 1.3(d)), for the fourteen-month period immediately following the Closing Date the Company covenants and agrees that it shall not enter into any Subsequent Financing (as defined below) at a price per share or conversion price less than the Per Share Purchase Price unless it has received (i) Stockholder Approval (as defined in Section 1.3(e)) in accordance with Section 1.3(e) or (ii) the prior written consent of the Qualified Purchasers (as defined in Section 1.3(d)) holding at least a majority of all Shares then held by the Qualified Purchasers. For purposes hereof, a “Subsequent Financing” means any offer or sale to, or exchange with (or other type of distribution to) any third party, of Common Stock or any securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock, including convertible debt securities.

(b) Notwithstanding the terms and provisions of Section 1.3(a) to the contrary, if during the fourteen-month period immediately following the Closing Date, the Company sells Additional Shares (as defined below) in a Subsequent Financing (the “Dilutive Issuance”) at a price per share less than the Per Share Purchase Price (the “Share Anti-Dilution Price”), then the Company shall promptly offer to sell to each Qualified Purchaser a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “New Shares”) equal to:

(i) the product of (x) the number of Shares owned by such Qualified Purchaser on the closing date of the Dilutive Issuance and (y) the quotient obtained by dividing the Per Share Purchase Price by the Share Anti-Dilution Price, minus

(ii) the number of Shares owned by such Qualified Purchaser on the closing date of the Dilutive Issuance.

(c) The purchase price for each New Share will be $0.001. The number of New Shares issued to each Qualified Purchaser pursuant to this Section 1.3 will be rounded down to the nearest whole share, and no fractional shares will be issued. The Company shall give each Qualified Purchaser prompt notice of any event that requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.3 in accordance with Section 7.4.

(d) As used herein, the term “Qualified Purchaser” means any Purchaser that owns not less than 25% of the Shares that it purchased on the Closing Date. As used herein, the term “Additional Shares” means all shares of Common Stock issued by the Company, except: (1) shares of Common Stock to be issued to strategic partners and/or in connection with a strategic merger or acquisition; (2) shares of Common Stock or the issuance of options to purchase shares of Common Stock to employees, officers, directors, consultants and vendors in accordance with

the Company’s equity incentive plan; (3) the issuance of securities pursuant to a bona fide firm underwritten public offering of the Company’s securities; (4) the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities issued or outstanding on or prior to the date hereof; (5) up to an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Common Stock (as may be adjusted for any stock splits or combinations of the Common Stock) to be issued to settle pending and threatened litigation against the Company; (6) up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of Common Stock (as may be adjusted for any stock splits or combinations of the Common Stock) to be issued in satisfaction of the Company’s outstanding liabilities, including, but not limited to, currently existing obligations under the Company’s real estate leases; and (7) equity securities to be issued upon the conversion of debt securities of the Company at a conversion price above the Per Share Purchase Price.

(e) If the Company is prohibited by Rule 4350(i) of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”), or any successor or similar rule, or the rules or regulations of any other securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded, from issuing a number of New Shares pursuant to this Section 1.3 in excess of a prescribed amount (the “Cap Amount”) without stockholder approval or otherwise, then the Company shall not issue New Shares in excess of the Cap Amount. Assuming solely for purposes of this paragraph that such Rule 4350(i) or similar rule is applicable, the Cap Amount shall be 19.99% of the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date. The Cap Amount shall be allocated pro rata to the Qualified Purchasers. If the Company is prohibited from issuing New Shares as a result of the operation of this paragraph, then the Company shall call a meeting of its stockholders to be held as promptly as practicable for the purpose of obtaining the approval of the Company’s stockholders pursuant to Rule 4350(i) or similar rule (“Stockholder Approval”). The Company shall, upon filing the applicable proxy statement with the SEC, (i) recommend to its stockholders approval of such matters sufficient to obtain Stockholder Approval, (ii) use its best efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of such matters, and (iii) vote such proxies, and use its best efforts to cause all “affiliates” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Company to vote any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such persons or entities (or cause such shares to be voted), in favor of such matters.

ARTICLE II

Representations and Warranties

For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any effect on the business, operations, properties, prospects or financial condition of the Company that is material and adverse to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and any condition, circumstance or situation that would prohibit the Company from entering into and performing any of its obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (as defined below).

The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and, except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(b), no further consent or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors or stockholders is required. When executed and delivered by the Company, each of the Transaction Documents shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

The Shares and the Warrants to be issued at the Closing have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and, when paid for and issued in accordance with the terms hereof and the Warrants, respectively, the Shares and the Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and rights of refusal of any kind and the holders shall be entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock.

(e) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not (i) violate any provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”) or Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), each as amended to date, or any Subsidiary’s comparable charter documents, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries’ respective properties or assets are bound, or (iii) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are bound or affected, except, in all cases, other than violations pursuant to clauses (i) or (iii) (with respect to federal and state securities laws) above, except, for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(dd) Independent Nature of Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that the obligations of each Purchaser under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under the Transaction Documents. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by

such Purchaser independently of any other purchase and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or of its Subsidiaries which may have made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Purchaser (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. The Company further acknowledges that nothing contained herein, or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. For reasons of administrative convenience only, the Transaction Documents have been prepared by counsel for the placement agent. Such counsel does not represent the Purchasers and the Purchasers have retained their own individual counsel with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that such procedure with respect to the Transaction Documents in no way creates a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(ee) No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company from selling the Securities pursuant to Regulation D and Rule 506 thereof under the Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder approval provisions, nor will the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings if such other offering, if integrated, would cause the offer and sale of the Securities not to be exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation D and Rule 506 thereof under the Securities Act. The Company does not have any registration statement pending before the Commission or currently under the Commission’s review and except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(ee) hereto, since September 1, 2005, the Company has not offered or sold any of its equity securities or debt securities convertible into shares of Common Stock.

(ff) Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, that are effective and intends to comply with other applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, upon the effectiveness of such provisions.

When executed and delivered by the Purchasers, the other Transaction Documents shall constitute valid and binding obligations of each Purchaser enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

(c) No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Purchaser and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated thereby and hereby do not and will not (i) violate any provision of the Purchaser’s charter or organizational documents, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser’s respective properties or assets are bound, or (iii) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Purchaser or by which any property or asset of the Purchaser are bound or affected, except, in all cases, other than violations pursuant to clauses (i) or (iii) (with respect to federal and state securities laws) above, except, for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the Purchaser’s ability to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

(d) Acquisition for Investment. Each Purchaser is purchasing the Shares and Warrants solely for its own account for the purpose of investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with distribution. Each Purchaser does not have a present intention to sell any of the Shares or Warrants, nor a present arrangement (whether or not legally binding) or intention to effect any distribution of any of the Shares or Warrants to or through any person or entity; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Purchaser does not agree to hold the Shares or the Warrants for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Shares or the Warrants at any time in accordance with Federal and state

securities laws applicable to such disposition. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it (i) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of Purchaser’s investment in the Company, (ii) is able to bear the financial risks associated with an investment in the Securities and (iii) has been given full access to such records of the Company and the Subsidiaries and to the officers of the Company and the Subsidiaries as it has deemed necessary or appropriate to conduct its due diligence investigation.

(e) Rule 144. Each Purchaser understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless such Shares are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available. Each Purchaser acknowledges that such person is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations of the Commission, as amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and that such Purchaser has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain circumstances. Each Purchaser understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is not available, such Purchaser will be unable to sell any Securities without either registration under the Securities Act or the existence of another exemption from such registration requirement.

(f) General. Each Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirements of federal and state securities laws and the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of such Purchaser to acquire the Securities. Each Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities.

(g) No General Solicitation. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities were not offered to such Purchaser by means of any form of general or public solicitation or general advertising, or publicly disseminated advertisements or sales literature, including (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media, or broadcast over television or radio, or (ii) any seminar or meeting to which such Purchaser was invited by any of the foregoing means of communications.

(h) Accredited Investor. Each Purchaser is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), and such Purchaser has such experience in business and financial matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities. Such Purchaser is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act and such Purchaser is not a broker-dealer. Each Purchaser acknowledges that an investment in the Securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Each Purchaser has completed or caused to be completed the Investor Questionnaire Certification attached hereto as Exhibit D certifying as to its status as an “accredited investor” and understands that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the Purchaser set forth therein to determine the suitability of such Purchaser to acquire the Securities.

(i) Certain Fees. The Purchasers have not employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any brokerage or investment banking fees, commissions, finders’

structuring fees, financial advisory fees or other similar fees in connection with the Transaction Documents.

(j) Independent Investment. Except as may be disclosed in any filings with the Commission by the Purchasers under Section 13 and/or Section 16 of the Exchange Act, no Purchaser has agreed to act with any other Purchaser for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of the Securities purchased hereunder for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act, and each Purchaser is acting independently with respect to its investment in the Securities.

(k) Patriot Act. If the Purchaser is an individual, the Purchaser certifies that he or she is not nor to his or her knowledge has been designated, a “suspected terrorist” as defined in Executive Order 13224. If the Purchaser is a corporation, trust, partnership, limited liability company or other organization, the Purchaser certifies that, to the best of Purchaser’s knowledge, the Purchaser has not been designated, and is not owned or controlled, by a “suspected terrorist” as defined in Executive Order 13224. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the Company seeks to comply with all applicable laws concerning money laundering and related activities. In furtherance of those efforts, the Purchaser hereby represents, warrants and agrees that to its knowledge: (i) none of the cash or property that the Purchaser will pay or will contribute to the Company has been or shall be derived from, or related to, any activity that is deemed criminal under United States law; and (ii) no contribution or payment by the Purchaser to the Company, to the extent that they are within the Purchaser’s control shall cause the Company to be in violation of the United States Bank Secrecy Act, the United States International Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 or the United States International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001. The Purchaser shall promptly notify the Company if any of these representations ceases to be true and accurate regarding the Purchaser. If the Company reasonably believes that the Purchaser has breached the foregoing representations, then the Purchaser agrees to provide the Company any additional information regarding the Purchaser that the Company deems necessary to ensure compliance with all applicable laws concerning money laundering and similar activities. In the event that the Company is requested or required (by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar legal, judiciary or regulatory process or as otherwise required by applicable law or regulation) to disclose any confidential information about a Purchaser, the Company shall (A) provide the Purchaser with prompt prior written notice of such request or requirement and (B) cooperate with the Purchaser so that the Purchaser may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Company and their respective representatives shall disclose only that portion of the confidential information that such person is advised by legal counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed, and provided that the Company uses reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded any confidential information so disclosed.

So long as a Purchaser beneficially owns any of the Securities, the Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act.

Section 3.10 Disclosure of Transaction.

The Company shall issue a press release describing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Press Release”) as soon as practicable after the Closing; provided, however, that if Closing occurs after 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time on any Trading Day but in no event later than one hour after the Closing, the Company shall issue the Press Release no later than 9:00 A.M. Eastern Time on the first Trading Day following the Closing Date. The Company shall also file with the Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) describing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby (and attaching as exhibits thereto this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the form of Warrant) as soon as practicable following the date of execution of this Agreement but in no event more than four Trading Days following the date of execution of this Agreement, which Press Release and Form 8-K shall be subject to prior review and comment by the Purchasers. “Trading Day” means any day during which the Nasdaq Capital Market (or other principal exchange on which the Common Stock is traded) shall be open for trading.

Section 3.12 Pledge of Securities.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Securities may be pledged by a Purchaser in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Common Stock.

Certificate Legend

Section 5.1 Legend.

Each certificate representing the Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form (in addition to any legend required by applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE “SECURITIES”) HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR FIBERNET TELECOM GROUP, INC. SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF ITS COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.

The Company agrees to reissue certificates representing any of the Shares and the Warrant Shares, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such Shares or Warrant Shares, such holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company describing the manner and terms of such transfer and removal as the Company may reasonably request. Such proposed transfer and removal will not be effected until: (a) the Company has notified such holder that either (i) in the opinion of Company counsel, the registration of the Shares or Warrant Shares under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer; or (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Company with the Commission and has become effective under the Securities Act; and (b) the Company has notified such holder that either: (i) in the opinion of Company counsel, the registration or qualification under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state is not required in connection with such proposed

disposition, or (ii) compliance with applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws has been effected. The Company will respond to any such notice from a holder within five (5) Business Days. In the case of any proposed transfer under this Section 5.1, the Company will use reasonable efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the Company. The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 5.1 shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Agreement. Whenever a certificate representing the Shares or Warrant Shares is required to be issued to a Purchaser without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Shares or Warrant Shares, provided the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Shares or Warrant Shares to a Purchaser by crediting the account of such Purchaser’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Agreement).

ARTICLE VI

Indemnification

Section 6.1 General Indemnity.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser (and its respective directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) (“Losses”) incurred by each Purchaser as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company herein. The Purchasers severally but not jointly agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all Losses incurred by the Company as result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Purchasers herein.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Purchasers shall be entitled to any indemnification under this Article VI unless and until all Losses of the Company or the Purchasers, as applicable, in the aggregate, are in excess of $50,000 and the Company, or the Purchasers, as applicable, shall then only be liable for Losses in excess of such amount. The maximum aggregate liability of the Company pursuant to its indemnification obligations under this Article VI shall not exceed the aggregate Purchase Price received hereunder, and the maximum aggregate liability of each Purchaser pursuant to its indemnification obligations shall not exceed the portion of the Purchase Price paid by such Purchaser hereunder.

Section 6.2 Indemnification Procedure.

Any party entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an “indemnified party”) will give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; 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 VI except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. 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 judgment of the indemnifying party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnified 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 parties), to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will not 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. The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the indemnified party which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI 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 required by this Article VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the indemnified party irrevocably agrees to 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 (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

ARTICLE VII

(c) Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold and the Special Counsel as promptly as possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than five (5) days prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) Business Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement and (C) with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) if at any time any of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in any agreement contemplated hereby ceases to be true and correct in all material respects; (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (vi) of the occurrence of any event that makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(d) Use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of, (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

(e) If requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, (i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement such information as the Company reasonably agrees should be included therein and (ii) make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received notification of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment.

-5-

(f) Furnish to each Holder and the Special Counsel, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, to the extent requested by such Person, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and all exhibits (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission.

(g) Promptly deliver to each Holder and the Special Counsel, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request; and the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

(h) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders and the Special Counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder requests in writing, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

(i) Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any Holder may request at least two (2) Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities.

(j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c)(vi), as promptly as possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(k) Use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities relating to the Registration Statement to be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, OTC Bulletin Board or

-6-

any other securities exchange, quotation system or market, if any, on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed as and when required pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

(l) Comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and make generally available to its security holders earning statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 not later than 45 days after the end of any 12-month period (or 90 days after the end of any 12-month period if such period is a fiscal year) commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of the Company after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which statement shall conform to the requirements of Rule 158.

(m) The Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company information regarding such Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as is required by law to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, and the Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any such Holder who fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request.

If the Registration Statement refers to any Holder by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company, then such Holder shall have the right to require (if such reference to such Holder by name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute then in force) the deletion of the reference to such Holder in any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement filed or prepared subsequent to the time that such reference ceases to be required.

Each Holder covenants and agrees that (i) it will not sell any Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until it has received copies of the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented as contemplated in Section 3(g) and notice from the Company that such Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto have become effective as contemplated by Section 3(c) and (ii) it and its officers, directors or Affiliates, if any, will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to them in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c)(ii), 3(c)(iii), 3(c)(iv), 3(c)(v) or 3(c)(vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement contemplated by Section 3(j), or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement.

(n) If (i) there is material non-public information regarding the Company which the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) reasonably determines not to be in the Company’s best interest to disclose and which the Company is not otherwise required to disclose,

-7-

or (ii) there is a significant business opportunity (including, but not limited to, the acquisition or disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or other similar transaction) available to the Company which the Board reasonably determines not to be in the Company’s best interest to disclose, then the Company may postpone or suspend filing or effectiveness of a registration statement for a period not to exceed 30 consecutive days, provided that the Company may not postpone or suspend its obligation under this Section 3(n) for more than 45 days in the aggregate during any 12 month period; provided, however, that no such postponement or suspension shall be permitted for consecutive 30 day periods, arising out of the same set of facts, circumstances or transactions.

5. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Registrable Securities as principal as a result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call of Common Stock), investment advisors and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, costs of preparation and attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; provided that (i) the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder or such other Indemnified Party furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, which information was reasonably relied on by the Company for use therein or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, and (ii) the foregoing indemnity shall not inure to a Holder or to any Person from whom the Person asserting any Loss purchased Registrable Securities if copies of the Prospectus were timely delivered to the Holders or their representatives pursuant hereto and a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended and supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Holder or such other Person to the Person asserting such Loss, if required by law so to have been delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of any Registrable Securities to such Person, and if the Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such Loss. The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment not subject to any appeal or review), as incurred, to the extent arising solely out of or based solely upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or arising solely out of or based solely upon any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any

-9-

Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder or other Indemnified Party to the Company specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or such Prospectus and that such information was reasonably relied upon by the Company for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of prospectus or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holders shall be liable under this Section 5(b) for only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Holder as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel (which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party) that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one counsel for Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

-10-

All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Business Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).

(d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party because of a failure or refusal of a governmental authority to enforce such indemnification in accordance with its terms (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying, Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c), any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holders shall be liable under this Section 5(d) for only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Holder as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnity or contribution obligation.

6. Rule 144.

As long as any Holder owns any Registrable Securities or Warrants, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings. As long as any Holder owns any Registrable Securities or Warrants, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Holders and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) promulgated under the Securities Act annual and quarterly financial statements, together with a discussion and analysis of such financial statements in form and substance substantially similar to those that would otherwise be required to be included in reports required by Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as well as any other information required thereby, in the time period that such filings would have been required to have been made under the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell the Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, including providing any legal opinions relating to such sale pursuant to Rule 144. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

Miscellaneous.

(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(b) No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has, as of the date hereof entered into and currently in effect, nor shall the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Except as disclosed in Schedule 2.1(c) of the Purchase Agreement or Schedule II hereto, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has previously entered into any agreement currently in effect granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, the Company shall not grant to any Person the right to request the Company to register any securities of the Company, under the Securities Act unless the rights

-12-

so granted are subject in all respects to the prior rights in full of the Holders set forth herein, and are not otherwise in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) No Piggyback on Registrations. Neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto or as disclosed on Schedule 2.1(c) of the Purchase Agreement or Schedule II hereto) may include securities of the Company in the Registration Statement, and the Company shall not after the date hereof enter into any agreement providing such right to any of its securityholders, unless the right so granted is subject in all respects to the prior rights in full of the Holders set forth herein, and is not otherwise in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities outstanding.

(e) Failure to File Registration Statement and Other Events. The Company and the Purchasers agree that the Holders will suffer damages if the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date and not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Date and maintained in the manner contemplated herein during the Effectiveness Time or if certain other events occur. The Company and the Holders further agree that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, if (A) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date, or (B) the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the 120^th day after the Closing Date, or (C) the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act within five (5) Business Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that a Registration Statement will not be “reviewed,” or not subject to further review, or (D) the Registration Statement is filed with and declared effective by the Commission but thereafter ceases to be effective as to all Registrable Securities at any time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period, without being succeeded immediately by a subsequent Registration Statement filed with and declared effective by the Commission, or (E) the Company has breached Section 3(n), or (F) trading in the Common Stock shall be suspended or if the Common Stock is delisted from both The Nasdaq Capital Market and the OTC Bulletin Board for any reason for more than five Business Days in the aggregate (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event,” and for purposes of clauses (A) and (B) the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (C) the date on which such five Business Day period is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (D) after more than fifteen Business Days, or for purposes of clause (F) the date on which such five Business Day period is exceeded, being referred to as “Event Date”), then the Company shall pay an amount as liquidated damages to each Holder equal to 3% for the first calendar month and 1.5% per calendar month thereafter or portion thereof of the Holder’s initial investment in the Shares from the Event Date (provided that, with respect to the Event described in clause (B), the “first calendar month” shall be deemed to commence on the 30^th day prior to the applicable Event Date) until the applicable Event is cured;

-13-

provided, that, liquidated damages for the first calendar month upon the occurrence of an Event shall be payable in cash only, and for each calendar month thereafter shall be payable at the Company’s option in cash or shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), if (I) any of the Events described in clauses (A), (B), (C) or (D) shall have occurred, (II) on or prior to the applicable Event Date, the Company shall have exercised its rights under Section 3(n) hereof and (III) the postponement or suspension permitted pursuant to such Section 3(n) shall remain effective as of such applicable Event Date, then the applicable Event Date shall be deemed instead to occur on the second Business Day following the termination of such postponement or suspension. If the Company elects to pay in shares of Common Stock, the number of such shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holders pursuant to this paragraph (e) shall be based on the liquidated damage amount divided by the average closing bid price of the Common Stock for the five trading days prior to such Event Date and shall be issuable promptly upon receipt by the Company of a written demand from a Holder made on or after the Event Date.

(f) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earlier of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified for notice prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, (ii) the Business Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified for notice later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on any date and earlier than 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on such date, (iii) the Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service or (iv) actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The addresses for such communications shall be with respect to each Holder at its address set forth under its name on Schedule I attached hereto with copies (which shall not constitute notice) to:

In addition, each Holder shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder to any other Person with the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The rights to assignment shall apply to the Holders (and to subsequent) successors and assigns.

(i) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.

(j) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any of the conflicts of law principles which would result in the application of the substantive law of another jurisdiction. This Agreement shall not be interpreted or construed with any presumption against the party causing this Agreement to be drafted. The Company and the Holders agree that venue for any dispute arising under this Agreement will lie exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and the parties irrevocably waive any right to raise forum non conveniens or any other argument that New York is not the proper venue. The Company and the Holders irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of the state of New York. The Company and the Holders consent to process

-15-

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 7(j) shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The Company and the Holders hereby agree that the prevailing party in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable legal fees from the non-prevailing party. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury.

(k) Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

(l) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable in any respect, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

(m) Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

(n) Shares Held by the Company and its Affiliates. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Securities is required hereunder, Registrable Securities held by the Company or its Affiliates (other than any Holder or transferees or successors or assigns thereof if such Holder is deemed to be an Affiliate solely by reason of its holdings of such Registrable Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage.

(o) Independent Nature of Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that the obligations of each Purchaser under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that the decision of each Purchaser to purchase Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or of its Subsidiaries which may have made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Purchaser (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. The Company acknowledges that nothing contained herein, or in any Transaction Document, and no

-16-

action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto (including, but not limited to, the (i) inclusion of a Purchaser in the Registration Statement and (ii) review by, and consent to, such Registration Statement by a Purchaser) shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that for reasons of administrative convenience only, the Transaction Documents have been prepared by counsel for the placement agent and such counsel does not represent the Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that it has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers.

If transferred pursuant to this paragraph and subject to the provisions of subsection (g) of this Section 2, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the form attached hereto) and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. This Warrant is exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants for the purchase of the same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant Stock as the Holder hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable pursuant hereto.

(f) Continuing Rights of Holder. The Issuer will, at the time of or at any time after each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, provided that if any such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford such rights to such Holder.

(g) Compliance with Securities Laws.

(i) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant or the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

(ii) Except as provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and all certificates representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

-3-

(iii) The restrictions imposed by this subsection (e) upon the transfer of this Warrant or the shares of Warrant Stock to be purchased upon exercise hereof shall terminate (A) when such securities shall have been resold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (B) upon the Issuer’s receipt of an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, addressed to the Issuer to the effect that such restrictions are no longer required to ensure compliance with the Securities Act and state securities laws or (C) upon the Issuer’s receipt of other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not required. Whenever such restrictions shall cease and terminate as to any such securities, the Holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from the Issuer (or its transfer agent and registrar), without expense (other than applicable transfer taxes, if any), new Warrants (or, in the case of shares of Warrant Stock, new stock certificates) of like tenor not bearing the applicable legend required by paragraph (ii) above relating to the Securities Act and state securities laws.

3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants.

(a) Stock Fully Paid. The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by or through Issuer. The Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of the issue upon exercise of this Warrant a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant.

(b) Reservation. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use its reasonable best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of, all shares of Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder (provided that such Warrant Stock has been registered pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act then in effect), and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange or market by the Issuer.

(c) Covenants. The Issuer shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending the Certificate of Incorporation or the by-laws of the Issuer, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this

-4-

Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder hereof against dilution (to the extent specifically provided herein) or impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of its Common Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the Warrants, (iii) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than as provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

(d) Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock.

4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number. The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, and the price at which such shares may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. The Issuer shall give the Holder prompt notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 in accordance with Section 5. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Warrant Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to Section 4(d), (e) and (f) hereof to a price that is less than the Per Share Market Value on the Original Issue Date.

(a) Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.

(i) In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the following (each, a “Triggering Event”): (a) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and the Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for Securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization or reclassification of its Capital Stock, then, and in the case of each such Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such Triggering Event in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the Securities, cash and property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior

-5-

thereto, subject to adjustments (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section 4.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the contrary, a Triggering Event shall not be deemed to have occurred if, prior to the consummation thereof, each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required to deliver any Securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (A) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the obligation to deliver to such Holder such Securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a), such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and such Person shall have similarly delivered to such Holder an opinion of counsel for such Person, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, or in the alternative, a written acknowledgement executed by the President or Chief Financial Officer of the Issuer, stating that this Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof (including, without limitation, all of the provisions of this subsection (a)) shall be applicable to the Securities, cash or property which such Person may be required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any rights pursuant hereto.

(b) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time the Issuer shall:

(i) take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock,

(ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or

(iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock,

then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.

-6-

(c) Certain Other Distributions. If at any time the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution of:

(i) cash (other than a cash dividend payable out of earnings or earned surplus legally available for the payment of dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Issuer),

(ii) any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Common Stock Equivalents or Additional Shares of Common Stock), or

(iii) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Common Stock Equivalents or Additional Shares of Common Stock),

then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the Per Share Market Value of Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (B) the denominator of which shall be such Per Share Market Value minus the amount allocable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer and supported by an opinion from an investment banking firm of recognized national standing acceptable to (but not affiliated with) the Holder) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so distributable, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment. A reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Issuer to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 4(c) and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 4(b).

(d) Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

(i) Subject to the first paragraph of Section 4 hereof, in the event the Issuer shall at any time issue any Additional Shares of Common Stock (otherwise than as provided in the foregoing subsections (b) through (c) of this Section 4), at a price per share less than the Warrant Price then in effect or without consideration, then the Warrant Price upon each such issuance shall be adjusted to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price then in effect by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock plus (y) the number of shares of

-7-

Common Stock which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at a price per share equal to the Warrant Price then in effect, and

(B) the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock immediately after the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock.

(ii) The provisions of paragraph (i) of Section 4(d) shall not apply to any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock for which an adjustment is provided under Section 4(b) or 4(c). No adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant shall be exercisable shall be made under paragraph (i) of Section 4(d) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents (or upon the issuance of any warrant or other rights therefor) pursuant to Section 4(e) or Section 4(f).

(iii) Whenever the Warrant Price is adjusted as provided in this Section 4(d) or in Section 4(h), the Warrant Share Number shall automatically be adjusted by multiplying the previous Warrant Share Number by a fraction the numerator of which is the Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the Warrant Price immediately after such adjustment.

(e) Issuance of Warrants or Other Rights. If at any time the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall in any manner (whether directly or by assumption in a merger in which the Issuer is the surviving corporation) issue or sell, any Common Stock Equivalents (or issue any warrant or other rights therefor), whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Common Stock Equivalents (or any warrant or other rights therefor) shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then (i) the number of shares for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted to equal that number of shares of Warrant Stock that the Holder would have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described in this Section 4(e) if such Warrant Stock had been issued immediately prior to the happening of such event, such adjustment to become effective concurrently with the effectiveness of such event, and (ii) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted as provided in Section 4(d) on the basis that the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to all such Common Stock Equivalents (or upon the issuance of any warrant or other rights therefor) shall be deemed to have been issued and outstanding and the Issuer shall have received all of the consideration payable therefor, if any, as of the date of the actual issuance of such warrants or other rights. No adjustments of the Warrant Price then in effect or the number of shares of Warrant Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock or of such Common Stock Equivalents upon exercise of such warrants or other rights or upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon such conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents.

(f) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents. If at any time the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a

-8-

distribution of, or shall in any manner (whether directly or by assumption in a merger in which the Issuer is the surviving corporation) issue or sell, any Common Stock Equivalents, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then (i) the number of shares for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted to equal that number of shares of Warrant Stock that the Holder would have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described in this Section 4(f) if such Warrant Stock had been issued immediately prior to the happening of such event, such adjustment to become effective concurrently with the effectiveness of such event, and (ii) and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted as provided in Section 4(d) on the basis that the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock necessary to effect the conversion or exchange of all such Common Stock Equivalents shall be deemed to have been issued and outstanding and the Issuer shall have received all of the consideration payable therefor, if any, as of the date of actual issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents. No further adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made under this Section 4(f) upon the issuance of any Common Stock Equivalents which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefor, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights pursuant to Section 4(e). No further adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents.

(g) Superseding Adjustment. If, at any time after any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall have been made pursuant to Section 4(e) or Section 4(f) as the result of any issuance of warrants, other rights or Common Stock Equivalents, and (i) such warrants or other rights, or the right of conversion or exchange in such other Common Stock Equivalents, shall expire, and all or a portion of such warrants or other rights, or the right of conversion or exchange with respect to all or a portion of such other Common Stock Equivalents, as the case may be shall not have been exercised, or (ii) the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock are issuable pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalents, shall be increased solely by virtue of provisions therein contained for an automatic increase in such consideration per share upon the occurrence of a specified date or event, then for each outstanding Warrant such previous adjustment shall be rescinded and annulled and the Additional Shares of Common Stock which were deemed to have been issued by virtue of the computation made in connection with the adjustment so rescinded and annulled shall no longer be deemed to have been issued by virtue of such computation. Upon the occurrence of an event set forth in this Section 4(g) above, there shall be a recomputation made of the effect of such Common Stock Equivalents on the basis of: (i) treating the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock or other property, if any, theretofore actually issued or issuable pursuant to the previous exercise of any such warrants or other rights or any such right of conversion or exchange, as having been issued on the date or dates of any such exercise and for the consideration actually received and receivable therefor, and (ii) treating any such Common Stock Equivalents which then remain outstanding as having been granted or issued immediately after the time of such increase of the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock or other property are issuable under such Common Stock Equivalents; whereupon a new adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which

-9-

this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made, which new adjustment shall supersede the previous adjustment so rescinded and annulled.

(h) Purchase of Common Stock by the Issuer. If the Issuer at any time while this Warrant is outstanding shall, directly or indirectly through a Subsidiary or otherwise, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of Common Stock at a price per share greater than the Per Share Market Value, then the Warrant Price upon each such purchase, redemption or acquisition shall be adjusted to that price determined by multiplying such Warrant Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock immediately prior to such purchase, redemption or acquisition minus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such shares of Common Stock so purchased, redeemed or acquired would purchase at the Per Share Market Value; and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock immediately after such purchase, redemption or acquisition. For the purposes of this subsection (h), the date as of which the Per Share Market Price shall be computed shall be the earlier of (x) the date on which the Issuer shall enter into a firm contract for the purchase, redemption or acquisition of such Common Stock, or (y) the date of actual purchase, redemption or acquisition of such Common Stock. For the purposes of this subsection (h), a purchase, redemption or acquisition of a Common Stock Equivalent shall be deemed to be a purchase of the underlying Common Stock, and the computation herein required shall be made on the basis of the full exercise, conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalent on the date as of which such computation is required hereby to be made, whether or not such Common Stock Equivalent is actually exercisable, convertible or exchangeable on such date.

(i) Other Provisions applicable to Adjustments under this Section. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect provided for in this Section 4:

(i) Computation of Consideration. To the extent that any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (or any warrants or other rights therefor) shall be issued for cash consideration, the consideration received by the Issuer therefor shall be the amount of the cash received by the Issuer therefor, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are offered by the Issuer for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the initial public offering price (in any such case subtracting any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends and without taking into account any compensation, discounts or expenses paid or incurred by the Issuer for and in the underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with, the issuance thereof). To the extent that such issuance shall be for a consideration other than cash, then, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the amount of such consideration shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration at the time of such issuance as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer. In case any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (or any warrants or other rights therefor) shall be issued in connection with any merger in which the Issuer issues any securities, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer, of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as such Board in good faith shall determine to be attributable to such Additional

-10-

Shares of Common Stock, Common Stock Equivalents, or any warrants or other rights therefor, as the case may be. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase the same shall be the consideration received by the Issuer for issuing such warrants or other rights plus the additional consideration payable to the Issuer upon exercise of such warrants or other rights. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of any Common Stock Equivalents shall be the consideration received by the Issuer for issuing warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the consideration paid or payable to the Issuer in respect of the subscription for or purchase of such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the additional consideration, if any, payable to the Issuer upon the exercise of the right of conversion or exchange in such Common Stock Equivalents. In case of the issuance at any time of any Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents in payment or satisfaction of any dividends upon any class of stock other than Common Stock, the Issuer shall be deemed to have received for such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents a consideration equal to the amount of such dividend so paid or satisfied.

(ii) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by this Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable that would otherwise be required may be postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of the Common Stock, as provided for in Section 4(b)) up to, but not beyond the date of exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than one percent (1%) of the shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment or on the date of exercise. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.

(iii) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section 4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest one one-hundredth (1/100^th) of a share.

(iv) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.

(v) Whenever the Warrant Price would have been changed or adjusted as provided in this Section 4 but for the fact that such adjustment would have caused the Warrant Price to be lower than the par value of the Common Stock, the maximum number of shares for which this Warrant may be exercised shall nevertheless be increased by the same number of

-11-

shares as such number would have increased had there been no such limitation on the amount by which the Warrant Price could be adjusted.

(j) Form of Warrant after Adjustments. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

(k) Escrow of Warrant Stock. If after any property becomes distributable pursuant to this Section 4 by reason of the taking of any record of the holders of Common Stock, but prior to the occurrence of the event for which such record is taken, and the Holder exercises this Warrant, any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise by reason of such adjustment shall be deemed the last shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercised (notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein) and such shares or other property shall be held in escrow for the Holder by the Issuer to be issued to the Holder upon and to the extent that the event actually takes place, upon payment of the current Warrant Price. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, if the event for which such record was taken fails to occur or is rescinded, then such escrowed shares shall be cancelled by the Issuer and escrowed property returned.

(l) Limitations on Increases on Warrant Share Number. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Warrant, no adjustments to the Warrant Share Number shall be made if such adjustment would result in a “Change of Control” pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 4350 of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”), or any successor or similar rule, or the rules or regulations of any other securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded. If the Issuer is so prohibited from issuing a number of shares of Warrant Stock pursuant to this Section 4(l) in excess of a prescribed amount (the “Cap Amount”) without stockholder approval or otherwise, then the Issuer shall not issue Warrant Stock in excess of the Cap Amount. If the Issuer is prohibited from issuing Warrant Stock as a result of the operation of this paragraph, then the Issuer shall call a meeting of its stockholders to be held as promptly as practicable for the purpose of obtaining the approval of the Issuer’s stockholders pursuant to Rule 4350 or similar rule (“Stockholder Approval”). The Issuer shall, upon filing the applicable proxy statement with the SEC, (i) recommend to its stockholders approval of such matters sufficient to obtain Stockholder Approval, (ii) use its best efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of such matters, and (iii) vote such proxies, and use its best efforts to cause all “affiliates” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of the Issuer to vote any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such persons or entities (or cause such shares to be voted), in favor of such matters.

5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this Section 5, each an “adjustment”), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant promptly after each adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in such certificate may at the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to one of the

-12-

national accounting firms currently known as the “big five” selected by the Holder, provided that the Issuer shall have ten (10) days after receipt of notice from such Holder of its selection of such firm to object thereto, in which case such Holder shall select another such firm and the Issuer shall have no such right of objection. The firm selected by the Holder of this Warrant as provided in the preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty (30) days after submission to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.

6. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued in connection with and exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Issuer shall make a cash payment therefor equal in amount to the product of the applicable fraction multiplied by the Per Share Market Value then in effect.

7. [Reserved.]

8. [Reserved.]
